Project description:Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) of the spine is characterized by progressive ectopic bone formation in the spinal ligament. To identify the genes related to ectopic ossification of human spinal ligament affected by mechanical stress, analyses using cDNA microarray were carried out using cultured human spinal ligament cells that had been subjected to uniaxial cyclic stretching. cDNA microarrays revealed that ranges of distribution of both up- and down-regulated genes evoked by cyclic stretching were significantly wider in cells from than in non-OPLL cells. Keywords: mechanical-stress response

Project description:With gene expression profiling it was aimed to identify the differentially expressed genes associated with the regulation of the cytoskeleton to investigate the stretch-induced cell alignment mechanism. A whole genome microarray based analysis of the stretch-induced gene expression changes was done. Gene expression was measured at the beginning of the alignment process showing first reoriented cells after 5 h stretching and at the end after 24 h, where nearly all cells are aligned. Cyclic mechanical stretching of cells results in cellular alignment perpendicular to the stretch direction regulating cellular response. This stress response is assumed to be an adaptation mechanism to reduce extensive stretching but also acts as architectural restructuring changing performance and biomechanics of the tissue. Gene expression profiling of control vs. stretched primary human dermal fibroblasts after 5 h and 24 h demonstrated the regulation of differentially expressed genes associated with metabolism, differentiation and morphology. Primary human dermal fibroblasts from ten donors were cultured on Bioflex culture plates and stretched for 5h and 24 h or left untreated to avoid changes according to cell culturing. Each of the subject provided 4 samples (control/treated and 5hrs/24hrs) resulting in 40 samples total.

Project description:Most of the gas exchange in the human body is carried out by the lungs, and the physiological activities of the lungs are uninterrupted. Due to the deterioration of the external environment, pulmonary cell lesions are common clinical lung diseases. Mechanical cyclic stretching is one kind of bionic technology to observe lung cancer cells. The A549 cell line is the human lung adenocarcinoma cell line derived from a primary lung tumor. This study investigated the effects of mechanical cyclic stretching on A549 cell activity and gene expression profile. Whereas mechanical cyclic stretching had no significant difference in colony formation and cell migration of A549 cells, the cell invasion increased significantly in A549 cells after stretching. In addition, the microarray data showed that mechanical cyclic stretching altered gene expression, induced inflammation of cells, and activation of Wnt/β-catenin and tumor necrosis factor pathways. More importantly, mechanical cyclic stretching activated the expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) protein. Therefore, the increase of cell invasion induced by mechanical cyclic stretching might be associated with the activation of TNF-α in human lung adenocarcinoma cells.

Project description:The retina is often subjected to tractional forces in a variety of conditions, for instance, pathological myopia, proliferative vitreoretinopathy. As the predominant glial element in the sensory retina, Muller cells are responsible for the homeostatic and metabolic support of retinal neurons and active players in virtually all forms of retinal injury and disease. Besides, Muller cells span the entire retinal thickness, extending from the inner to the outer limiting membranes, with cell bodies located in the inner nuclear layer and lateral processes expanding into the plexiform layers of the tissue. Because of this unique morphology, Muller cells can sense even minute changes in the retinal structure because of the mechanical stretching of their long processes or side branches. Thus, itM-bM-^@M-^Ys reasonable to infer that Muller cells also participate in ocular diseases when the retina is overstretched. In this study, we aim to investigate the whole genome regulation of Muller cells under mechanical stretching, which may help in excluding possible molecular mechanisms that would account for many retinal diseases in which the retina is often subjected to mechanical forces. We used microarrays to identify patterns of gene expression changes induced by cyclic mechanical stretching in Muller cells. Rat Muller cells were seeded onto flexible bottom culture plates and subjected to a cyclic stretching regimen of 15% equibiaxial stretching for 1 and 24 h.Muller cells cultured under the same conditions but with no applied mechanical strain were considered as the unstretched control. At each time points (1 and 24 h), three totally independent experiments (3 stretched samples and 3 control samples) were conducted. Muller cells were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Stretch (S); Control (C)

Project description:Psoriasis vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory skin disease which tends to affect the extensor surface of the body. IL-17A and IL-23 antagonists are currently the main and powerful therapeutic choices but the skin areas which are subject to stretching, namely knees, elbows and the lower back, are often reluctant to treatments. ; Hence, we hypothesize that stretching has a dominant effect on psoriasis development. First, we found that, in imiquimod-treated psoriasis-like mouse model, mechanical stretch promotes a significant increase in clinical severity, epidermal thickness, and inflammatory cell infiltration of psoriasis. Transcriptomics profiling revealed that Il6 and Il1b genes are significantly upregulated and play a major role in the activation and recruitment of neutrophils, macrophages, and T cells in stretching group. Upstream analysis further identifies NF-κB as a critical transcription factor to drive pro-inflammatory cytokine expression during stretch application. Immunofluorescence staining confirmed the increased expression of IL-1β and IL-6. In summary, our findings uncover that the mechanical biology contributes to psoriasis progression mainly through enhancing the production of IL-1β and IL-6.

Project description:Excessive MS is known to result in disappearance of the alveolar hard line, enlargement of thePDL space, and destruction of alveolar bone, leading to occlusal traumatism. The regulatory role of MS is believed to play a critical role in the process of alveolar bone remodeling. However, little is known about the effect of excessive MS on expression of osteoclastogenesis-related genes in human PDL cells. Human PDL cells were cultured in silicon chambers, which was attached to a stretching apparatus (STB-140; Strex Co. Ltd., Osaka, Japan) The cells were allowed to attach to the chamber base for 48 hours, after which uniaxial sinusoidal stretching (conditions: 60 sec/returns, resting time; 29 sec, stretch length; 1.6 mm, stretch ratio; 105%) was applied at 37°C, 5% CO2. We compared to the genes expression between 0 and 48 hours after MS stimulation.

Project description:Cell junctions play an important role in coordinating intercellular communication and intracellular ultrastructures, with desmosomes representing the mechanical component of such intercellular connections. Mutations to desmosomal component proteins compromise both inter- and intracellular signalling and correlate with severe diseases like arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (AC), with pathological phenotypes in tissues subjected to intense mechanical stimuli (skin and heart). Here, we explore the consequences of dysfunctional desmosomes in one line of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPS-CMs) derived from an AC patient with a homozygous pathogenic mutation in desmosomal component protein plakophilin-2 (PKP2). We specifically aim at investigating the response to mechanical stress in an AC-pathological setting. To this aim, we aligned hiPS-CMs on stretchable patterned substrates to mimic the cardiac functional syncytium and compared transcriptomic profiles of PKP2-mutated hiPS-CMs and healthy controls. AC-CMs display altered transcription towards a pro-fibrotic gene expression program, and concurrent dysregulation of gene sets closely associated with cell-to-cell connections. By integrating the culture substrate with a macroscopic stretching setup able to accurately apply cyclic uniaxial elongation, we show how response to mechanical loads in AC-CMs deviates from the canonical mechanical-stress response observed in healthy-CMs.
