Project description:We measured steady-state mRNA levels by microarray hybridization, comparing WT, (delta)ire1, (delta)gcn4, and (delta)gcn2 cells treated with 2 mM DTT for 30 min (by which time the UPR is qualitatively complete) to untreated samples of the same genotype. WT cells were taken as a positive control for UPR induction, and (delta)ire1 cells as a negative control. Fold change in expression of a given gene was computed as the ratio of mRNA level in the treated sample to the level in an untreated sample of the same genotype. Values reported here are the log2 fold change. Keywords = unfolded protein response Keywords = UPR Keywords = ire1 Keywords = gcn4 Keywords = gcn2 Keywords: parallel sample
Project description:This series compares the effects that two pharmacologically distinct ligands at the mitochondrial peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor (Bzrp). PK11195 (4.0 mg/kg, a presumed antagonist) has no observable adverse effects in pregnant mice on either 8 days post-coitus (d.p.c.) or 9 d.p.c. Furthermore, PK11195 is shown to rescue mouse fetuses from microphthalmia or microphthalmia-microcephaly induced with 2CdA or MeHg, respectively; effects of PK11195 on EtOH-induced craniofacial malformations are not yet unkown. Ro5-4864 (4.0 mg/kg, a presumed agonist) is weakly teratogenic on 8 d.p.c. (effects on 9 d.p.c. unknown) and this Bzrp ligand does not rescue fetuses from malformations induced with either 2CdA or MeHg; effects of Ro5-4864 on EtOH-induced craniofacial malformations is unknown for either sensitive (C57BL/6J) or insensitive (C57BL/6N) strains. The 4.0 mg/kg dose of Bzrp ligands is consistent with pharmacological activity in several studies. Pregnant mice were exposed to these agents on 8 d.p.c. (2CdA, EtOH) or 9 d.p.c. (MeHg). The test dose of 2.5 mg/kg 2CdA was modeled for a 5% increased risk of microphthalmia in term fetuses. Full remediation with PK11195 anticipated. The test dose of 5.0 mg/kg MeHg gives an estimated 20% increased risk of microphthalmia-microcephaly (encephalopathy) in term fetuses. Partial remediation with PK11195 is anticipated to <10% malformations. Again the effects of PK11195 on EtOH teratogenicity is not yet known. The sampling time was chosen as the time of p53 protein induction (3.0h to 4.5h post-treatment). Whereas co-treatment with PK11195 suppresses embryonic p53 protein induction Ro5-4864 does not block this reaction. All measurements were on RNA from the embryonic headfold (8 d.p.c.) or prosencephalon (9 d.p.c.).
