Project description:Glucocorticoids, which activate glucocorticoid receptor signaling and thus modulate gene expression, are widely used to treat asthma. Glucocorticoids exert their therapeutic effects in part through modulating airway smooth muscle structure and function. However, the effects of genes that are regulated by GCs on airway function are not fully understood. Here, we used transcription profiling to characterize the effects of a potent glucocorticoid, dexamethasone, on cultured human airway smooth muscle gene expression at 4 and 24 hours. This study examined differential gene expression induced by treatment of cultured human airway smooth muscle cells with dexamethasone. There were 3 groups of samples and each group had 4 biological replicates. Group 1 was no treatment, Group 2 was dexamethasone (dex) treatment for 4 hours, Group 3 was dex treatment for 24 hours. Cultures were synchronized so harvest occurred at the same time for all three groups. 2 samples are not included in this analysis (based on unsupervised clustering of samples and diagnostic plots).

Project description:Glucocorticoids (GCs) and protein kinase A (PKA)-activating agents (beta-adrenergic receptor agonists) are mainstream asthma therapies based on their ability to prevent or reverse excessive airway smooth muscle (ASM) constriction. Their abilities to regulate another important feature of asthma - excessive ASM growth are poorly understood. Recent studies have suggested that GCs render agents of inflammation such as interleukin 1beta and tumor necrosis factor alpha mitogenic to ASM, via suppression of (antimitogenic) induced cyclooxygenase-2-dependent PKA activity. To further explore the mechanistic basis of these observations, we assessed the effects of epidermal growth factor and interleukin 1beta stimulation, and the modulatory effects of GC treatment and PKA inhibition, on the ASM transcriptome by microarray analysis.

Project description:Glucocorticoids (GCs) are the most effective anti-inflammatory drugs in current clinical settings, yet their genomic modes of action are poorly understood. GCs bind to the Glucocorticoid Receptor (GR), which acts as a transcription factor to control gene expression in the immune system. Understanding the molecular mechanism that delineates gene repression of pro-inflammatory target genes from gene activation of metabolic genes will help to improve GC therapy and overcome adverse effects.

Project description:Asthma is a chronic inflammatory respiratory disease affecting over 300 million people around the world. Some asthma patients remain poorly controlled by conventional therapies and experience more life-threatening exacerbations. While patients with severe, refractory disease represent a heterogeneous group, a feature shared by most includes glucocorticoid insensitivity. We sought to characterize differences in the airway smooth muscle transcriptome response to glucocorticoids in fatal asthma vs. non-asthma donors. RNA-Seq was used to measure airway smooth muscle transcript expression differences between 9 donors with fatal asthma and 8 non-asthma donors. Cells from each donor were treated with budesonide or with vehicle control. Poly(A)-selected RNA-Seq libraries were prepared with the Illumina TruSeq method. An Illumina HiSeq 2500 instrument was used to generate 125 base pair paired-end reads.

Project description:Drug resistance remains a major obstacle to successful cancer treatment. Here we use a novel approach to identify rapamycin as a glucocorticoid resistance reversal agent. A database of drug-associated gene expression profiles was screened for molecules whose profile overlapped with a gene expression signature of glucocorticoid (GC) sensitivity/resistance in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) cells. The screen indicated the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin profile matched the signature of GC-sensitivity. We thus tested the hypothesis that rapamycin would induce GC sensitivity in lymphoid malignancy cells, and found that it sensitized cells to glucocorticoid induced apoptosis via modulation of antiapoptotic MCL1. These data indicate that MCL1 is an important regulator of GC-induced apoptosis, and that the combination of rapamycin and glucocorticoids has potential utility in ALL. Furthermore this approach represents a novel strategy for identification of promising combination therapies for cancer. Keywords: drug treatment

Experiment Overall Design: Human ASM cultures were generated from trachea of 4 unidentified donors and used in passage 5-8. These cells were used to generate cells stabely expressing a PKA inhibitor (PKI) or GFP (control), which were then grown to confluence, serum starved for 24h, and stimulated with IL-1b, EGF,or both (E+I) in presence or absence of Fluticasone (Flu, 30 min pretreatment). After 8h stimulation cells were washed and total RNA isolated using TRIzol as per manufacturer's protocol. Gene expression was analyzed in 4 different cultures derived from 4 different donors (for a total of 3-4 microarrays per condition).

Project description:CCAAT/Enhancer Binding Protein D (CEBPD) is a transcription factor that regulates genes involved in immune and inflammatory responses. Based on our previous observation that CEBPD expression increases in airway smooth muscle (ASM) with glucocorticoid exposure, we sought to better understand its role in the ASM transcriptomic response to glucocorticoids via knockdown experiments. Primary human airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells from four non-asthma donors were transfected with 25pmol of siRNA non-targeting control or siCEBPD SMARTpool using RNAiMax. Three days after transfection, cells were treated with 100nM Budesonide, 10ng/ml TNF-alpha, or both for 18 hours. RNA-Seq libraries were prepared with the Kapa mRNA HyperPrep Illumina Library kit. An Illumina HiSeq 2500 instrument was used to generate 125 base pair paired-end reads. STAR was used to align sequencing reads to the hg38 reference genome, and HTSeq was used to quantify transcript levels. DESeq2 was used to perform differential expression analysis.

Project description:We previously demonstrated that the transcription factor, KLF15, is a glucocorticoid-regulated gene that represses primary human airway smooth muscle (ASM) proliferation. Here, we show that KLF15 also represses ASM hypertrophy. To uncover the mechanistic basis for these effects, we integrated transcriptome data from KLF15 over-expression with genome-wide analysis of RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) and glucocorticoid receptor (GR) occupancy (i.e. ChIP-seq). This led us to identify PLCD1 as both a KLF15-regulated gene and a repressor of ASM hypertrophy.

Project description:Rationale: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease. The most common medications used for its treatment are β2-agonists and glucocorticosteroids, and one of the primary tissues that these drugs target in the treatment of asthma is the airway smooth muscle. We used RNA-Seq to characterize the human airway smooth muscle (HASM) transcriptome at baseline and under three asthma treatment conditions. Methods: The Illumina TruSeq assay was used to prepare 75bp paired-end libraries for HASM cells from four white male donors under four treatment conditions: 1) no treatment; 2) treatment with a β2-agonist (i.e. Albuterol, 1μM for 18h); 3) treatment with a glucocorticosteroid (i.e. Dexamethasone (Dex), 1μM for 18h); 4) simultaneous treatment with a β2-agonist and glucocorticoid, and the libraries were sequenced with an Illumina Hi-Seq 2000 instrument. The Tuxedo Suite Tools were used to align reads to the hg19 reference genome, assemble transcripts, and perform differential expression analysis using the protocol described in https://github.com/blancahimes/taffeta mRNA profiles obtained via RNA-Seq for four primary human airway smooth muscle cell lines that were treated with dexamethasone, albuterol, dexamethasone+albuterol or were left untreated.

Project description:Glucocorticoids (GCs) are widely prescribed effective drugs, but their clinical use is compromised by severe side effects including hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and obesity. They bind to the Glucocorticoid Receptor (GR), which acts as a ligand-gated transcription factor. The transcriptional activation of metabolic genes by GR is thought to underlie these undesired adverse effects. Using mouse genetics, ChIP-Seq, RNA-Seq and ChIP-MS, we found that the bHLH transcription factor E47 is required for the regulation of hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism by GR in vivo, and that loss of E47 prevents the development of hyperglycemia and hepatic steatosis in response to GCs. Here we show that E47 and GR co-occupy metabolic promoters and enhancers. E47 is needed for the efficient binding of GR to chromatin and for the adequate recruitment of coregulators such as Mediator. Taken together, our results illustrate how GR and E47 regulate hepatic metabolism, and how inhibition of E47 might provide an entry point for novel GC therapies with reduced side effect profiles. These ChIP-MS data sets show IPs for GR in both wildtype and E47 mutant mouse livers treated with the synthetic glucocorticoid Dexamethasone.
