Expression data of small intestine crypts and villi from mice with nutritional and genetic risk factors for intestinal tumors

ABSTRACT: Nutritional and genetic risk factors for intestinal tumors are additive on mouse tumor phenotypes, demonstrating that diet and genetic factors impact risk by distinct combinatorial mechanisms. We analyzed expression profiles of small intestine crypts and villi from mice with nutritional and genetic risk factors. The results advanced our understanding of the mechanistic roles played by major risk factors in the pathogenesis of intestinal tumors.
Project description:Nutritional and genetic risk factors for intestinal tumors are additive on mouse tumor phenotypes, demonstrating that diet and genetic factors impact risk by distinct combinatorial mechanisms. We analyzed expression profiles of small intestine crypts and villi from mice with nutritional and genetic risk factors. The results advanced our understanding of the mechanistic roles played by major risk factors in the pathogenesis of intestinal tumors. Small intestine crypts and villi from mice with nutritional (Ain76A, NWD1, and NWD2) and genetic risk factors (WT, Apc1638N/+ and p21-/-) were collected for RNA extraction and analysis using the Affymetrix 3' IVT expression microarray. Three or four replicates per tissue/risk factor.
Project description:Loss of Myc corrects abrrant transcription in Rb KO villi, while these genetic manipulation does not lead to major gene expression changes in crypts. We used Affymetrix microarrays to profile the global gene expression changes caused by loss of Rb and Rb/Myc.
Project description:In the chorionic villi of placenta, trophoblasts and endothelial cells are present, and moreover mesenchymal cells (stromal cells) can be obtained. We generated cells with the mesenchymal phenotype from the chorionic mesoderm, and showed that: a) physiologically functioning cardiomyocytes were transdifferentiated from human placenta-derived chorionic villi cells, but these cells did not induce to osteoblasts and adipocytes ; b) the cardiomyogenic induction rate obtained using our system was relatively high compared to that obtained using the previously described method ; c) co-cultivation with fetal murine cardiomyocytes alone without transdifferentiation factors such as 5-azaC or oxytocin is sufficient for cardiomyogenesis in our system; d) Chorionic villi cells have the electrophysiological properties of 'working' cardiomyocytes. The chorionic mesoderm contained a large number of cells with a cardiomyogenic potential. Keywords: Cardiomyogenic induction
Project description:The relationship between oncogenesis and embryo development are surprised similarity, early placental villi development from 6 weeks to 10 weeks of pregnancy were profiled using microarrays. Through comparative villi and mature placenta data, we identified villi-specific genes that were highly expressed in villus. The large fraction of villi-specific genes dysregulated in transcriptional level across tumors and most of villi-specific genes up-regulated in human cancers. Then by the GO enrichment results, we selected 5 immune-related genes, 6 proliferation-related genes, 8 focal adhesion-related genes that were found to have reported with genomic alterations. The expression of three group genes predicted poor prognosis of a subset of tumors. Our strategy provided a fresh idea for discovering the novel prognostic biomarkers of tumors.

Experiment Overall Design: To isolate chorionic villi cells, we used the explant culture method, in which the cells were outgrown from pieces of chorionic villi attached to dishes. Chorionic villi cells were harvested with 0.25% trypsin and 1 mM EDTA, and overlaid onto the cultured fetal cardiomyocytes at 7 x 103/cm2. Every 2 days, the culture medium was replaced with fresh culture medium that was supplemented with 10% FBS and 1 ug/ml Amphotericin B (GIBCO). The morphology of the beating chorionic villi cells was evaluated under a fluorescent microscope.
Project description:To explore molecular mechanisms affecting nutritional risk and neurodevelopment in children with congenital heart disease (CHD) by combining transcriptome and metabolome analysis. In this study, transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis of blood and serum samples from 26 children with CHD was performed to search for key DEGs and DEMs, and explore molecular mechanisms affecting nutritional risk and neurodevelopment in children with CHD.
Project description:This study was designed to assess the global transcriptional differences between villin-Grem villi compared to normal villi of age-matched mice. We found changes in key gene signatures asscoiated with tumorigenesis. Total RNA obtained from isolated villi from Villin-Gremlin mouse (n=6) and wildtype controls (n=6)
