Project description:Type 2 diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) has been linked to Ca2+ signaling alterations, notably a decreased mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake. Uncovering of Ca2+ microdomains between cardiac mitochondria and reticulum launched a new investigation avenue for cardiometabolic diseases. We here aimed to study if the impairment of mitochondrial Ca2+ handling could be due to a dysregulation of the reticulum-mitochondria interactions or of the mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter in the diabetic mice heart. Phenotypic alterations of the type 2 diabetic mouse heart, was done using an in vivo obesogenic high fat high sucrose diet fed mouse model (HFHSD: 20% proteins, 36% lipids). The composition of the cardiac MAM fractions between standard diet-fed (SD) mice and HFHSD (HF) mice at 16 weeks was analysed by MS-based quantitative proteomics.
Project description:We used Affymetrix microarrays to investigate gene expression changes in the liver of wild-type C57BL-6 mice exposed to a high-fat diet that might have been caused by the oral consumption of the probiotic B. pseudocatenulatum CECT 7765. The aim of this work was to determine whether the daily intake (by oral gavage) of the probiotic (P) B. pseudocatenulatum for seven weeks exerted any modulatory effects, at the level of gene expression, in the liver of C57BL-6 male mice exposed to a high-fat diet (HFD). Male mice were randomly assigned to four experimental groups (n= 5 animals per group) as follows: (1) control group, fed a standard diet (SD); (2) obese group, fed a high-fat diet (HFD); (3) a group that received the SD and a daily dose of the probiotic (1M-CM-^W109 CFU B. pseudocatenulatum CECT 7765) (SD+P); and (d) an obese group that was fed the HFD and a daily dose of the probiotic (1M-CM-^W109 CFU B. pseudocatenulatum CECT 7765) (HFD+P). At the end of the experimental procedure total RNA was extracted from the liver to compare differential gene expression between the groups. Liver differential gene expression after 7 weeks of supplementation between: 1) the HFD group and the SD group (effects of the high-fat diet); 2) the HFD+P and the HFD (effects of the probiotic on the consumption of a high-fat diet) and 3) the SD+P group and the SD (direct effects of the probiotic on the liver of animals consuming a normal diet).
Project description:The composition of the diet affects many processes in the body, including body weight and endocrine system. We have previously shown that dietary fat also affects the immune system. Mice fed high fat diet rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids survive S. aureus infection to a much greater extent than mice fed high fat diet rich in saturated fatty acids. Here we present data regarding the dietary effects on protein expression in spleen from mice fed three different diets, I) low fat/chow diet (LFD, n=4), II) high fat diet rich in saturated fatty acids (HFD-S, n=4) and III) high fat diet rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (HFD-P, n=4). We performed mass spectrophotometry based quantitative proteomics analysis of isolated spleen by implementing the isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) approach. Mass spectrometry data were analysed using Proteome Discoverer 2.4 software using the search engine mascot against Mus musculus in SwissProt. 924 proteins are identified in all sets (n=4) for different dietary effects taken for statistical analysis using Qlucore Omics Explorer software. Only 20 proteins were found to be differentially expressed with a cut-off value of false discovery rate < 0.1 (q-value) when comparing HFD-S and HFD-P but no differentially expressed proteins were found when LFD was compared with HFD-P or HFD-S. We identified a subset of proteins that showed an inverse expression pattern between two high fat diets. These differentially expressed proteins were further classified by gene ontology for their role in biological processes and molecular functions.
Project description:C57Bl6/J male mice were put on different diets at 5 weeks of age, with a standard diet (SD) or a High-Fat High-Sucrose Diet (HFHS) or a Choline-Deficient High-Fat Diet (CDHFD) during 6 months. Primary hepatocytes cultures from 3 different models were synchronized in the cell cycle. Transcriptomic analysis was perfomed at 48hours of culture when HFHS and CDHFD hepatocytes harbor replication stress.
Project description:Total RNA was extracted from adipose tissue of high (full) fat diet and standard fat diet mice. Adipose tissue was taken from 16 mice in total. Eight mice were fed a standard diet (SD; control) (10 kcal% fat) and the other eight were fed a high-fat diet (HFD; test) (60 kcal% fat; Research Diets, New Brunswick, NJ) for 5 months. Total RNA was isolated from pooled White Adipose Tissue from SD- or HFD-fed mice using guanidinium thiocyanate. The quality of the total RNA was verified by an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer profile. One µg total RNA from sample and reference were labeled with Hy3™ and Hy5™ fluorescent label, respectively, using the miRCURY™ LNA Array power labeling kit (Exiqon, Denmark) following the procedure described by the manufacturer. The Hy3™-labeled samples and the Hy5™-labeled sample were mixed pair-wise and hybridized to the miRCURY™ LNA array version 10.0 (Exiqon, Denmark), which contains capture probes targeting all miRNAs for all species registered in the miRBASE version 11.0 at the Sanger Institute. The hybridization was performed according to the miRCURY™ LNA array manual using a Tecan HS4800 hybridization station (Tecan, Austria). After hybridization the microarray slides were scanned and stored in an ozone free environment (ozone level below 2.0 ppb) in order to prevent potential bleaching of the fluorescent dyes. The miRCURY™ LNA array microarray slides were scanned using the Agilent G2565BA Microarray Scanner System (Agilent Technologies, Inc., USA) and the image analysis was carried out using the ImaGene 8.0 software (BioDiscovery, Inc., USA). The quantified signals were normalized using the global Lowess (LOcally WEighted Scatterplot Smoothing) regression algorithm.
Project description:determine the effect of the high-fat diet on the proteomics profile of liver tissue.Mice were fed with HFD for 16 weeks to establish a NAFLD mouse model. Mice fed with normal chow diet were taken as controls. Five replicate liver samples were collected from each group for proteomics analysis.
Project description:The serum samples from wild type mice fed high-fat diet for 12 weeks (WT_Serum) and Mdm2 adipocyte-specific knock-in mice fed high-fat diet for 12 weeks (KI_Serum) were mixed separately, and subjected to proteomic study by Label-free quantitative techniques and mass spectrometry-based proteomics techniques in Jingjie PTM BioLab (Hangzhou) Co. Ltd (www.ptm-biolab.com.cn). The difference was determined by 1.5-fold-change criterion, FDR < 0.01.
