Project description:Analysis of heart of Hypoxia-inducible 2 alpha-deficient mice, specific in cardiomyocytes (Hif2aloxP/loxP Myosin Cre+) subjected to myocardial ishcemia reperfusion. Hif2a belongs to the family of transcription factors, that regulate a transcriptional response to tissue hypoxia.
Project description:In this study, we performed temporal profiling of transcriptome and chromatin accessibility in HL-1 cells for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying cardiac responses to hypoxia. We collected HL-1 cells under four conditions (4 h and 8 h of hypoxia exposure, 24 h reoxygenation and the normal condition), applied RNA-seq and ATAC-seq to them and performed pairwise comparison of gene expression and open chromatin status on a genome-wide scale.
Project description:RNA sequencing and subsequent bioinformatics analyses were performed at early reoxygenation stages in HL-1 cardiomyocytes treated or not with BRL37344 Methods: HL-1 cardiomyocytes were subjected to Hypoxia/Reoxygenation (6h/1h) with/without a M-NM-23AR agonist (BRL37344 5M-BM-5mol/L). mRNA profiles were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina GAIIx.The sequence reads that passed quality filters were quantified using BWA aligned reads using RSEM. qRTM-bM-^@M-^SPCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assay. Results: After 6h of hypoxia followed by 1h reoxygenation, 866 genes were differentially expressed upon M-NM-23AR stimulation by BRL37344. Among these, 177 were at least 2-fold up or downregulated. Conclusions: Our results show that Hsp70 plays a key role in the cardioprotection afforded by M-NM-23AR agonism in cardiomyocytes during the early window of H/R. mRNA profiles from cardiomyocyte subjected to H/R (6h/1h) with/without a M-NM-23AR agonist were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina GAIIx.

Project description:We hypothesize that cultured macrophages directly exposed intermittent hypoxia will have a greater change in expression in genes related to inflammatory response than macrophages exposed to sustained hypoxia. We will evaluate gene expression using microarray analysis of RNA collected from RAW 264.7 macrophages cultured under the following environmental conditions: 1) 4 hours of intermittent hypoxia (2 minute cycles: 90 seconds at 40 Torr and 30 seconds at 8 Torr), 2) 4 hours of sustained hypoxia (8 Torr), and 3 ) standard tissue culture conditions (141 Torr; reference).
Project description:We hypothesize that the culture media collected from macrophages exposed to intermittent hypoxia will induce a greater pro-inflammatory gene profile in naïve cultured macrophages than will culture media collected from macrophages exposed to sustained hypoxia. We will evaluate gene expression using microarray analysis of RNA collected from RAW 264.7 macrophages cultured for 24 hours in DMEM media obtained from 1) cells cultured with intermittent hypoxia (2 minute cycles: 90 seconds at 40 Torr and 30 seconds at 8 Torr), 2) media exposed to intermittent hypoxia, 3) cells cultured with sustained hypoxia (8 Torr), 4) media exposed to sustained hypoxia and 4) standard tissue culture conditions (fresh DMEM media; reference).
Project description:The goal of the study was to identify hypoxia-induced gene expression changes in C. elegans and to determine which of these responses to hypoxia were regulated by hif-1. Towards these aims, we analyzed mRNA expression patterns in synchronized populations of wild-type worms that were cultured in standard lab conditions (normoxia) or in hypoxia. We also assayed mRNA from two mutant strains: (i) animals carrying the strong loss-of-function mutation in hif-1 and (ii) C. elegans that carry a deletion in vhl-1 and express the HIF-1 protein at constitutively high levels. In the microarray experiments, 3 strains were assayed: wild type N2, hif-1 (ia04), and vhl-1 (ok161). Worms were incubated for 4 hours in 21% oxygen or 0.1% oxygen at 210C. Animals were quickly harvested in ice cold M9 buffer, and poly (A) RNA was isolated using established procedures. No more than 3 minutes elapsed between the removal of plates from the hypoxic chamber and the addition of Trizol. RNA was isolated from three independent experiments for each experimental condition (3 genotypes; normoxia vs hypoxia). mRNAs were hybridized to whole-genome microarrays which contained probes for 17,817 predicted genes (94% of the genome). Ch1 in the array represents the data for the worms growed under hypoxia; and Ch2 in the array reprents the data for the worms growed under normoxia. Keywords: Biological Replicates
Project description:Introduction: Exosomes are nano-sized extracellular vesicles, released from various cells, which can stimulate or repress responses in target cells. We have recently shown that cultured cardiomyocytes release exosomes and that they, in turn, are involved in facilitating events in target cells by alteration of gene expression. We investigated whether external stimuli of the cardiomyocyte might influence the released exosome characteristics. Material and Methods: Exosomes were isolated from media collected from cultured cardiomyocyte (HL-1) cells with or without growth factor treatment (TGF-beta2 and PDGF-BB), with a series of differential centrifugations. The exosomes were characterized with dynamic light scattering (DLS) and Western blot and analysed with Illumina whole genome microarray gene expression. Results: An average size of 50-80 nm in diameter with no difference between treatment groups was found. Analysis of the mRNA content revealed 623 transcripts in the control group, 691 in the TGF-beta2-treated group and 362 in the PDGF-BB-treated group. 235 transcripts were common for all three groups. Conclusion: We conclude that there is a difference in mRNA content between exosomes derived from cultured cardiomyocytes stimulated with growth factors. We also conclude that all exosomes contain a basic package consisting of ribosomal transcripts and mRNAs coding for proteins with functions within the energy supply system. To study if the transcriptional content in exosomes derived from untreated and growth factor-treated cultured cardiomyocytes (HL-1) differ, and if so, can this difference be explained, 4 control (untreated) exosome samples, 4 TFG-beta2-treated cardiomyocyte-derived exosome samples and 4 PDGF-BB-treated cardiomyocyte-derived exosomes were studied.
