DNA methylation array of irradiated and/or lithium exposed iPSC-derived human neural progenitor cells

ABSTRACT: DNA isolation was performed following the DNeasy Blood and Tissue Kit (Qiagen). Cells were irradiated in an CIX2 Xstrahl X-Ray Irradiator with Aluminum filter at a focus-to-skin distance (FSD) of 40 cm and with an energy of 195kV, 10 mA, for and absorbed dose of 4 GY. To allow for assessment of irradiation damage, cells remained in the incubator for 1 hour. Pre-warmed DMEM/F-12 was mixed with the appropriate amount of LiCl powder (Sigma-Aldrich, Cat# L9650-100G), passed through a 0.22 μm filter, and supplemented with 1% Penicillin-Streptomycin, 1% N2, 0.1% B27, 0.1% EGF, and 0.1% FGF2 to produce 3mM Lithium Chloride (LiCl) hNSPC medium.

Project description:Background The striking association of HLA-B27 with spondyloarthritis (SpA) has been known for 50 years. However, its pathophysiological significance remains incompletely understood. In the HLA-B27/human-β2 microglobulin (hβ2m) transgenic rat (B27 rat) that spontaneously develops inflammatory phenotype characteristic of SpA, myeloid cells expressing the HLA-B27/h2m transgene are critical for disease induction and functionally impaired. Recently, we produced HLA-B27/hβ2m transgenic Drosophila to study non-canonical effects of HLA-B27. We showed that HLA-B27/h2m expressed in Drosophila wing imaginal disc deregulated BMP pathway by interacting physically with the type I bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) receptor (BMPR1) Saxophone (Sax), leading to a loss of crossveins. Methods Genetic interaction was studied between the activin/TGF pathway and HLA-B27/hβ2m in transgenic Drosophila wings. The HLA-B27-bound peptidome was characterized in wing imaginal discs from transgenic Drosophila by high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry of the peptide fraction eluted from affinity purified HLA-B27. In mesenteric lymph node (mLN) T cells from B27 rats, physical interaction between HLA-B27 and activin receptor-like kinase-2 (ALK2), ALK3 and ALK5 BMPR1s was assessed by proximity ligation assay and phosphorylation of SMADs and proteins of the non-canonical BMP/TGF pathway induced by its ligands was assessed by flow cytometry. Transcript level of several target genes of the TGF pathway was evaluated by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction in mLN subsets of T cells from B27 and control nontransgenic rats, with and without treatment by TGF. Results We showed that, in addition to the BMP pathway, inappropriate signaling through the activin/transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) pathway, involving Baboon (Babo) BMPR1, also contributed to the crossveinless wing phenotype. We identified a set of peptides bound to HLA-B27 with canonical binding motif in HLA-B27/hβ2m transgenic Drosophila wing imaginal disc, despite the lack of peptide loading complex. We then demonstrated specific physical interaction, between HLA-B27/h2m and both mammalian orthologues of Sax and Babo, i.e. ALK2 and ALK5 (i.e. TGF receptor I), in the mLN cells from B27 rat. The magnitude of phosphorylation of SMAD2/3 in response to TGFβ1 was increased in T cells from adult and premorbid B27 rats, showing evidence for deregulated TGF pathway. Accordingly, expression of several target genes of the pathway was increased in T cells from B27 rats, in basal conditions and/or after TGFexposure, including Foxp3, Rorc, Runx1 and Maf. Interestingly. Tgfb1 expression was reduced in naïve T cells from B27 rats, even premorbid, an observation consistent with a pro-inflammatory pattern. Conclusions This study highlights a complex interplay between HLA-B27 and the BMP/TGFβ pathways in both Drosophila and B27 rat. Given the importance of the TGF pathway in CD4+ T cells differenciation and regulation, the disturbance caused by HLA-B27 could contribute to the abnormal expansion of pro-inflammatory T helper 17 cells and the altered regulatory T cell phenotype observed in B27 rat.

Project description:Treatment of the seeds. The Solanum lycopersicum var. Money Maker wild type (MM) and fri1-1 mutant seeds were incubated on distilled-water saturated cotton wool in clear plastic boxes wrapped in black plastic sheets in darkness during 3 hours at 25°C. After that, the seeds were treated as follows: a) 24 hr of continuous irradiation with far-red light, FRc; b) 24 hr of FRc follow by a 10 min red light pulse (Rp), FRc+Rp; and c) complete darkness. After the light treatments, the seeds were incubated in darkness (25°C) until sampling. Red light (35umol/m2sec) was provided by 40W fluorescent lamps (Phillips 40/15) in combination with a red translucid acrylic. FRc light (100 umol/m2sec) was provided by a set of 150W incandescent internal reflector lamps (Phillips) in combination with a red acetate filter, six 2mm thick blue acrylic filters Paolini 2031 and 10cm water filter. Total RNA isolation. The seeds were grinded in liquid nitrogen and extracted with two volumes of extraction buffer (1% SDS, 6% p-aminosalycilic acid, 1% NaCl, 6% water-saturated phenol and 2% 2-mercaptoethanol) and two volumes of acid phenol:chloroform solution. The aqueous phase was sequentially extracted with one volume of acid phenol:chloroform solution and one volume of chloroform. The nucleic acids in the aqueous phase were precipitated with 0.15 volumes of 3M NaCl and 2.5 volumes of 100% ethanol at –80°C for 20 minutes. After centrifugation, the pellet was washed with 70% ethanol, resuspended in RNase-free water and precipitated with one volume of 4M LiCl over night at 4°C. The LiCl was removed after centrifugation and the pellet was rinsed with 2M LiCl and resuspended in RNase-free water. The total RNA was treated with RNase-free DNase (Promega) and cleaned up with mini spin columns (RNeasy Plant Mini Kit, Qiagen). The mRNA was amplificated with Message Amp II aRNA Amplification Kit (Ambion) and concentrated by vacumm centrifugation. Keywords: Direct comparison 21 hybs total
