Project description:The aim of the study was to determine the protein composition of cornified claws of the western clawed frog (Xenopus tropicalis) in comparison to clawless toe tips and back skin. Cornified claws develop on toes I, II, III of the hind limbs, which we refer to as hind limb inner (HI) toes. Toes IV, V of the hind limbs, here referred to as hind limb outer (HO) toes lack claws. Proteins were prepared from HI toe tips including claws, HO toe tips and back skin (BSK) of frogs each (F1, F2, F3) and subjected to proteomic analysis.

Project description:Poison frogs sequester chemical defenses from their diet of leaf litter arthropods for defense against predation. Little is known about the physiological adaptations that confer this unusual bioaccumulation ability. We conducted an alkaloid-feeding experiment with the Diablito poison frog (Oophaga sylvatica) to determine how quickly alkaloids are accumulated and how toxins modify frog physiology using quantitative proteomics. Diablito frogs rapidly accumulated the alkaloid decahydroquinoline within four days, and dietary alkaloid exposure modified protein abundance in the intestines, liver, and skin. Many proteins that increased in abundance with toxin accumulation are plasma glycoproteins, including the complement system and the toxin-binding protein saxiphilin. Other protein classes that change in abundance with toxin accumulation are membrane proteins involved in small molecule transport and metabolism. Overall, this work shows poison frogs can rapidly accumulate alkaloids, which alter carrier protein abundance, initiate an immune response, and alter small molecule transport and metabolism dynamics across tissues

Project description:Aims: To better understand the potential mechanisms of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment alleviating spinal cord injury (SCI). Materials and methods: The SCI model was firstly built in mice, which were randomly divided into three groups: Sham (SH), SCI and HBO groups, followed by hind limb motor function evaluation. Then the spinal cord tissue samples were harvested for histological evaluation and genome-wide transcriptional analysis at 1 week after injury. Finally, some oxidative stress and cell death related differently expressed genes were selected to be analyzed followed by the functional analysis. Results: HBO treatment significantly improved the recovery of hind limb motor function and decreased the histology score compared to the SCI group. In the genome-wide transcriptional analysis, a total of 76 common differently expressed gene among the three groups were obtained at 1 week after injury, which were enriched in functional pathway such as ferroptosis, calcium signaling pathway, serotonergic synapse, etc. Trends in expression of the six genes were consistent with transcriptional analysis. Conclusions: Identified differentially expressed genes and related signaling pathways may be associated with HBO treatment alleviating second spinal cord injury. These results contribute to elucidate the mechanism of HBO in the treatment of SCI.

Project description:The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) mediates the toxic effects of environmental contaminants, such as 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). Frogs are very insensitive to the toxic effects of TCDD.

Project description:This experiment examined the transcriptional response of juvenile amphibian hosts (common frog, Rana temporaria) to two important amphibian pathogens: Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and Ranavirus. Common frogs are non-model organisms which do not have a reference genome.

Project description:Amphibian populations around the world are threatened by an emerging infectious pathogen, the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). How can a fungal skin infection kill such a broad range of amphibian hosts? And why are certain species particularly susceptible to the impacts of Bd? Here we use a genomics approach to understand the genetic response of multiple susceptible frog species to Bd infection. We characterize the transcriptomes of two closely-related endangered frog species (Rana muscosa and Rana sierrae) and analyze whole genome expression profiles from frogs in controlled Bd-infection experiments. We integrate the Rana results with a comparable dataset from a more distantly-related susceptible species (Silurana tropicalis). We demonstrate that Bd-infected frogs show massive disruption of skin function and show no evidence of a robust immune response. The genetic response to infection is shared across the focal susceptible species, suggesting a common effect of Bd on susceptible frogs.

Project description:Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in the Lewis rat, produces an an acute weakness, or paralysis of the tail and hind limb ataxia ,weakness or paralysis associated with increased permiability of the blood brain barrier, inflammation and demyelination in central nervous system (CNS). Clinical symptoms , ascending weakness or paralysis of the tail followed by the hind limbs and in rare cases the fore limbs occurs 8 and 14 days post immunisation (dpi) and is generally resolved completely by day 20 dpi. We have carried out transcriptome analysis of total RNA from the spinal cords of female Lewis rats at the peak of disease (EAE) and age matched healthy controls to identify exon expression changes associated with the disease. In these data sets we include the exon expression data obtained from total RNA preparations from the spinal cords of female Lewis rats sacrificed at the clinical peak of MBP induced EAE and age matched , untreated, healthy controls. 8 total RNA samples were prepared. A two way ANOVA comparison carried out in Partek Genomics Suite was used to detect differences in exon expression in the spinal cord of female lewis rats with MBP induced EAE and age matched healthy controls.

Project description:Detailed information about stage-specific changes in gene expression is crucial for understanding the gene regulatory networks underlying development and the various signal transduction pathways contributing to morphogenesis. Here, we describe the global gene expression dynamics during early murine limb development, when cartilage, tendons, muscle, joints, vasculature, and nerves are specified and the musculoskeletal system of the limbs is established. We used whole-genome microarrays to identify genes with differential expression at 5 stages of limb development (E9.5 to 13.5), during fore-limb and hind-limb patterning. We found that the onset of limb formation is characterized by an up-regulation of transcription factors, which is followed by a massive activation of genes during E10.5 and E11.5 which tampers off at later time points. Among 3520 genes identified as significantly up-regulated in the limb, we find ~30% to be novel, dramatically expanding the repertoire of candidate genes likely to function in the limb. Hierarchical and stage-specific clustering identified expression profiles that correlate with functional programs during limb development and are likely to provide new insights into specific tissue patterning processes. Here we provide for the first time, a comprehensve analysis of developmentally regulated genes during murine limb development, and provide some novel insights into the expression dynamics governing limb morphogenesis. Fifty- one arrays were analyzed, consisting of whole fore-limb and hind-limb bud RNA (experimental) and whole embryo RNA (reference) samples from E9.5 to E13.5 DPC mouse (FVB strain). Embryos were not pooled to generate samples. Each time point has 3 to 5 biological replicates for limb bud samples, duplicates for whole embryos. Comparisons were made between limb bud samples and whole embryo at the same stage, fore-limb samples of different stages, hind-limb samples of different stages, and fore-limb samples compared to hind-limb samples at the same or the next stage.
