Inflammatory mediators alter astrocyte genomic profiles and G-protein receptor evoked calcium signaling

ABSTRACT: Inflammation features in diverse central nervous system disorders such as stroke, trauma, neurodegeneration, infection and autoimmunity. To better understand how inflammatory mediators may alter astrocyte functions, we examined the effects of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interferon-gamma (IFNγ) on purified, murine, primary cortical astrocyte cultures. We used microarrays to conduct whole genome expression profiling, and measured calcium signaling, which is implicated in mediating dynamic astrocyte functions. Combinatorial exposure to TGF-β1, LPS and IFNγ significantly modulated astrocyte expression of over 6,800 genes and resulted in both additive and synergistic changes compared with individual stimuli alone. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that combinatorial treatment significantly and markedly up regulated molecular networks and pathways associated with immune signaling and with regulation of cell compromise, death, growth and proliferation. These findings provide databases of astrocyte transcriptome changes elicited by the inflammatory stimuli, TGF-β1, LPS and IFNγ alone and in combination, and show that these stimuli up regulate astrocyte molecular networks associated with immune- and injury-related functions and significantly alter astrocyte calcium signaling evoked by multiple GPCR.

Inflammatory mediators alter astrocyte genomic profiles and G-protein receptor evoked calcium signaling

Project description:Inflammation features in diverse central nervous system disorders such as stroke, trauma, neurodegeneration, infection and autoimmunity. To better understand how inflammatory mediators may alter astrocyte functions, we examined the effects of transforming growth factor-Î²1 (TGF-Î²1), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interferon-gamma (IFNÎ³) on purified, murine, primary cortical astrocyte cultures. We used microarrays to conduct whole genome expression profiling, and measured calcium signaling, which is implicated in mediating dynamic astrocyte functions. Combinatorial exposure to TGF-Î²1, LPS and IFNÎ³ significantly modulated astrocyte expression of over 6,800 genes and resulted in both additive and synergistic changes compared with individual stimuli alone. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that combinatorial treatment significantly and markedly up regulated molecular networks and pathways associated with immune signaling and with regulation of cell compromise, death, growth and proliferation.

Expression changes in respiratory epithelial cells when treated with TGF-β1

Project description:TGF-β1 is involved in various biological processes through downstream signals including SMAD, Akt, Erk, etc. TGF-β1 overexpressed by harmful stimuli can act as a causative factor in diseases such as accumulation of extracellular matrix and development of cancerous characteristics. Therefore, we sought to compare changes in expression of intracellular miRNAs to study diseases caused by TGF-β1. In our study, we aimed to discover therapeutic targets for TGF-β1-induced disease by investigating changes in miRNA expression and identifying the correlation between genes that can be regulated by miRNA.

Distinct phenotypes induced by acute hypoxia and TGF-β1 in human adult cardiac fibroblasts

Project description:Myocardial infarctions cause hypoxic injury to downstream tissue and a consequent fibrotic remodeling process to replace injured tissue with a scar. Scar formation occurs through phases of wound healing in which stimuli such as transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) drive cardiac fibroblasts to activate into a myofibroblast phenotype and deposit matrix molecules that form a scar. While this is necessary to repair injured tissue, excessive fibrosis commonly occurs which is correlated with heart failure. Therefore, defining cardiac fibroblast phenotypes under hypoxic stimuli and TGF-β is essential for understanding and treating pathological fibrosis. We robustly characterized fibroblast phenotype through immunofluorescence, quantitative RT-PCR, and proteomic analysis, after either TGF-β treatment or hypoxia durations that mimic acute hypoxic injury post-infarction. We find that hypoxic fibroblasts respond to low oxygen with increased hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) but not HIF-2 activity by 4h. This is accompanied by increased gene and protein levels of VEGFA and LOX, respectively, which are both targets of HIF-1. Both TGF-β1 and hypoxia inhibit proliferation by 24h. While TGF-β1 treatment upregulated various fibrotic pathways, hypoxia causes a global reduction in protein synthesis, including collagen biosynthesis. This study discerns overlapping from distinctive outcomes of TGF-β1 and hypoxia treatment, which is important for elucidating their roles in fibrotic remodeling post-MI.

Gene expression profiling in acute murine autoimmune hepatitis

Project description:The etiology of autoimmune hepatitis is poorly understood but likely involves Th1 cells producing IFN-γ. BALB/c background TGF-β1-/- mice rapidly develop fulminant Th1-mediated autoimmune hepatitis. Our aims are to profile liver gene expression in TGF-β1-/- mice, to identify gene expression pathways dependent on IFN-γ as possible targets for rational therapy, and to test potential targets directly in vivo in mice. Keywords: Comparative analysis of gene expression in livers of WT, TGFB1 & IFN knockout mice DNA microarray analyses were applied to liver RNA from TGF-β1-/- mice, TGF-β1-/- /IFN-γ-/- mice, and TGF-β1+/+ littermate controls. 3 mice from each group were analyzed in this study.

Expression changes in respiratory epithelial cells when treated with TGF-β1

Project description:TGF-β1 is a key regulator of diverse biological processes. It can be overexpressed by noxious stimuli, and activation of downstream signals leads to excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix. Therefore, in order to study diseases related to these symptoms, we sought to compare changes in expression of genes in cells. Our study investigated differentially expressed genes in two types of respiratory cells following TGF-β1 exposure and identified the molecular mechanism through biological analysis.

Transcription profiling of human IMR-90 cells in response to TGF-I?1

Project description:Members of the NADPH oxidase (NOX) family of enzymes, which catalyze the reduction of O2 to reactive oxygen species, have increased in number during eukaryotic evolution. Seven isoforms of the NOX gene family have been identified in mammals; however, specific roles of NOX enzymes in mammalian physiology and pathophysiology have not been fully elucidated. The best established physiological role of NOX enzymes is in host defense against pathogen invasion in diverse species, including plants. The prototypical member of this family, NOX-2 (gp91phox), is expressed in phagocytic cells and mediates microbicidal activities. Here we report a role for the NOX4 isoform in tissue repair functions of myofibroblasts and fibrogenesis. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) induces NOX-4 expression in lung mesenchymal cells by a SMAD-3–dependent mechanism. NOX-4–dependent generation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is required for TGF-β1–induced myofibroblast differentiation, extracellular matrix (ECM) production and contractility. NOX-4 is upregulated in lungs of mice subjected to noninfectious injury and in cases of human idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Genetic or pharmacologic targeting of NOX-4 abrogates fibrogenesis in two murine models of lung injury. These studies support a function for NOX4 in tissue fibrogenesis and provide proof of concept for therapeutic targeting of NOX-4 in recalcitrant fibrotic disorders. Experiment Overall Design: mRNA expression of genes in human fetal lung mesenchymal cells (IMR-90) treated with or without TGF-β1, as analyzed by Affymetrix (U133A) microarrays. Control (C0, C2, C3) = cells without TGF-β1 treatment (n=3). Experimental (T0, T5, T7) = cells treated with TGF-β1 (2ng/ml) (n=3). mRNA was collected for all 6 samples for 48 hours post treatment.

Genome-wide transcript profiling for native porcine valvular interstitial cells and those cultured on TCPS and treated with TGF-β1

Project description:Fibrotic diseases have significant health impact and have been associated with differentiation of the resident fibroblasts into myofibroblasts. In particular, stiffened extracellular matrix and TGF-β1 in fibrotic lesions have been shown to promote pathogenic myofibroblast activation and progression of fibrosis in various tissues. To better understand the roles of mechanical and chemical cues on myofibroblast differentiation and how they may crosstalk, we cultured primary valvular interstitial cells (VICs) isolated from porcine aortic valves and studied how traditional TCPS culture, which presents a non-physiologically stiff environment, and TGF-β1 affect native VIC phenotypes. We carried out gene expression profiling using porcine genome microarrays from Affymetrix and found that traditional TCPS culture induces major changes in gene expression of native VICs, rendering these cells more activated and similar to cells treated with TGF-β1. We also monitored time-dependent effects induced by TGF-β1 by examining gene expression changes induced by TGF-β1 at 8 hours and 24 hours. Porcine aortic VICs were isolated and cultured with or without TGF-β1 treatment for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We included 3 biological replicates for each condition. P0 VICs were freshly isolated cells which had not been cultured. P2 VICs were cells that had been passaged 2 times and cultured on plastic plates in low serum media. Some of the P2 VICs were treated with TGF-β1 at 5ng/ml for 8 hours or 24 hours. All the control and TGF-β1-treated conditions were collected at the same time on day 3 of culture.

Global transcriptomic analyses of bronchial epithelial cells exposed to 5 ng/mL TGF-β1 and 10 nM Estrogen individually and in combination

Project description:To begin to identify downstream consequences of TGF-β1-induced reduction of estrogen receptor expression, we employed RNA-Seq. Results of global transcriptomic analysis showed that TGF-β1 and E2 inversely modulated the expression of several genes involved in both known pro-fibrotic cellular processes such as extracellular matrix turnover and newly identified events including airway smooth muscle cell contraction and calcium flux regulation. We also report, for the first time, that E2 specifically modulated the expression of genes involved in chromatin remodeling pathways and that this regulation was absent in the presence of TGF-β1. Collectively, these results suggest that E2 influences pathways relevant to pulmonary fibrosis and highlights potential roles for E2 in the lung that may contribute to sex-specific differences in IPF.

Metabolomic profiling of macrophages determines the discrete metabolomic signature and metabolomic interactome triggered by polarising immune stimuli

Project description:Priming and activating immune stimuli have profound effects on macrophages, however, studies generally evaluate stimuli in isolation rather than in combination. In this study we have investigated the effects of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory stimuli either alone or in combination on macrophage metabolism. These stimuli include host factors such as IFNγ and ovalbumin-immunoglobulin immune complexes, or pathogen factors such as LPS. Untargeted LC-MS based metabolomics provided an in-depth profile of the macrophage metabolome, and revealed specific changes in metabolite abundance upon either individual stimuli or combined stimuli. Here, by factoring in an interaction term in the linear model, we define the metabolome interactome. This approach allowed us to determine whether stimuli interact in a synergistic or antagonistic manner. In conclusion this study demonstrates a robust approach to interrogate immune-metabolism, especially systems that model host-pathogen interactions.
