Project description:The kidney is important for a number of physiological processes including blood filtering, blood pressure regulation and proper excretion of many drugs and xenobiotics. Age is a predisposing condition for susceptibility to chronic kidney disease and progression as well as acute kidney injury that may arise due to the adverse effects of some drugs. Age-related differences in kidney biology, therefore, are a key concern in understanding drug safety and disease progression. We hypothesize that the underlying suite of genes expressed in the kidney at various life cycle stages will impact susceptibility to adverse drug reactions. Therefore, establishing changes in baseline expression data between these life stages is the first and necessary step in evaluating this hypothesis. Untreated male F344 rats from 2, 5, 6, 8, 15, 21, 78, and 104 weeks of age (n=5) were sacrificed by CO2 asphyxiation, whole kidneys collected and homogenized, total RNA used for whole genome expression arrays (Agilent).

Project description:Age- and sex-related susceptibility to adverse drug reactions is a key concern in understanding drug safety and disease progression. We hypothesize that the underlying suite of hepatic genes expressed at various developmental and life-cycle stages will impact susceptibility to adverse drug reactions. Thus, understanding the basal expression patterns of genes throughout the life span of the rat model species in both sexes will inform our assessments of adverse drug reactions. The liver plays a central role in the metabolism and biotransformation of drugs via key cellular pathways. Untreated, male and female F344 rats were sacrificed at 2, 5, 6, 8, 15, 21, 52, 78, and 104 weeks of age. Liver tissues were collected for histology and gene expression analysis. Whole-genome rat microarrays (44,000 features) were used to query global expression profiles. An initial list of active genes was selected using a 2-way ANOVA with a p-value cutoff of 0.05 and 1.5 fold-change difference from mean expression. Three dimensional principal component analyses revealed notable expression profile divergence between males and females after 5 weeks with greatest differences observed at 21 and 52 weeks before converging again at 104 weeks. Furthermore, k-means clustering identified groups of genes that displayed specific developmental and age-related patterns of expression. Various adult aging-related clusters included genes involved in pathways related to susceptibility to adverse drug effects such as xenobiotic metabolism, DNA damage repair, and oxidative stress. These results suggest an underlying role for genes in these specific clusters in potentiating age- and sex-related susceptibilities to adverse health effects.

Project description:The kidney functions in key physiological processes to filter blood and regulate blood pressure via key molecular transporters and ion channels. Sex-specific differences have been observed in renal disease incidence and progression as well as acute kidney injury in response to certain drugs. Although advances have been made in characterizing the molecular components involved in various kidney functions, the molecular mechanisms responsible for sex differences are not well understood. We hypothesized that the basal expression levels of genes involved in various kidney functions throughout the life cycle will influence sex-specific susceptibilities to adverse renal events. Untreated female F344 rats from 2, 5, 6, 8, 15, 21, 78, and 104 weeks of age (n=5) were sacrificed by CO2 asphyxiation, whole kidneys collected and homogenized, total RNA used for whole genome expression arrays (Agilent).

Project description:Depression is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by a wide range of symptoms, including but not restricted to increased anxiety-like behavior, altered stress responsivity, increased depressive like behavior, decreased pleasure seeking, and altered susceptibility to drugs of abuse. Adding another level of complexity to the disease is the fact that individuals differ in their susceptibility to depression. Research done over the past decade has highlighted the contribution of early life adverse experience to this individual differences in vulnerability to depression. Such studies have been done at the clinical as well as the preclinical level, where rodent and primate models of adverse postnatal environment such as Maternal Separation (MS) are used. MS involves separation of the pup from the dam for 3h every day for the first two weeks of postnatal life. The MS model has been characterized to produce long lasting anxiety-like behavior, depressive behavior and altered stress responsivity in adulthood. While several molecular mechanisms have been hypothesized to mediate the long lasting effects of MS, the serotonin 2a receptor is an attractive candidate, given its role in regulating anxiety-like behavior. So we set out to ask if Maternal Separation alters the 5HT2a responses. In order to assay if MS alters the transcriptional targets of the 5Ht2a receptor, we use a drug that stimulates the 5Ht2a receptor, DOI. The experiment involves injecting both control and MS animals with DOI and looking at the transcriptome induced by DOI under control and MS conditions. This would help understand how the adverse early life experience MS, alters the transcriptional response of an adult rat to stimulation at the 5HT2a receptor, which is physiologically seen in conditions of stress.

Project description:Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), a global health burden, is strongly associated with age-related renal function decline, hypertension and diabetes, frequent consequences of obesity. Despite extensive studies the mechanisms determining susceptibility to CKD remain elusive. Clinical evidence together with prior studies from our group showed that perinatal metabolic disorders after maternal obesity adversely affect kidney structure and function throughout life. Since obesity and aging processes converge in similar pathways we tested if perinatal obesity induced by High-Fat Diet (HFD)-fed female mice sensitizes aging-associated mechanism in kidneys of newborn mice. Tissue from the kidney cortex and the kidney medulla was collected from offspring of control or HFD-fed mice.

Project description:Preterm neonates are at high risk for nephron loss under adverse clinical conditions (e.g., cardiocirculatory decompensation, nephrotoxic drugs). Importantly, the onset of renal damage potentially collides with the proceeding nephrogenesis of prematurity prior 36 weeks of gestation. Recent animal studies suggest that early nephron loss within this vulnerable phase is associated with more severe glomerular and tubulointerstitial alterations later in life, irrespective of the occurrence of arterial hypertension. It is known that nephrogenic pathways are reactivated after acute kidney injury supporting renal repair and regeneration. In this study we hypothesized that nephron loss during nephrogenesis leads to an alteration of the kidney developmental program which in turn impairs homeostasis and repair and thus aggravates kidney injury later in life. Preterm infants prior to 36 weeks of gestation show an active nephrogenesis after birth. In rats, nephrogenesis is still active until day 10 of life. Mimicking the human situation of acute nephron loss in preterm neonates with ongoing nephrogenesis, rats were uninephrectomized at day 1 of life (UNXd1). A second group of animals was uninephrectomized at day 14 of life (UNXd14), which resembles a nephron loss after terminated nephrogenesis. Age-matched control groups were sham operated. Three days after uninephrectomy the animals were sacrificed. Transcriptional renal changes were analyzed by RNAseqencing, followed by in silico functional pathway analysis. In UNXd1 animals 1182 genes were differentially regulated compared to the respective control group. The functional groups “renal development” and “kidney injury” were among the most differentially regulated groups and revealed distinctive alterations in UNXd1 animals. Reduced expression levels of candidate genes concerning renal development (Bmp7, Gdnf, Pdgf-B, Wt1) and kidney injury (nephrin, podocin, Tgf-β1) were detected in the kidney of UNXd1 animals. The downregulation of Bmp7 and Gdnf expression in the remaining kidney of UNXd1 animals persisted until day 28 of life. In UNXd14 rats Six2 was upregulated and Pax22 downregulated compared to controls. We conclude that neonatal nephron loss during active nephrogenesis affects renal development and induces persistently reduced expression levels of genes which in turn might hinder tissue repair after kidney injury later in life.

Project description:Adverse early life experiences are well-established risk factors for neurological disorders later in life. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the impact of adverse experiences on neurophysiological systems throughout life remain incompletely understood. Previous studies suggest that social attachment to parents in early development are indispensable for infants to grow into healthy adults. In situations where multiple offspring are born in a single birth in common marmosets, human hand-rearing is employed to ensure the survival of the offspring in captivity. However, hand-reared marmosets often exhibit behavioral abnormalities, including abnormal vocalizations, excessive attachment to the caretaker, and aggressive behavior. In this study, comprehensive transcriptome analyses were conducted on hippocampus tissues, a neuroanatomical region sensitive to social attachment, obtained from human hand-reared (N = 6) and parent-reared male marmosets (N = 5) at distinct developmental stages. Our analyses revealed consistent alterations in a subset of genes, including those related to neurodevelopmental diseases, across different developmental stages, indicating their continuous susceptibility to the effects of early parental deprivation. These findings highlight the dynamic nature of gene expression in response to early life experiences and suggest that the impact of early parental deprivation on gene expression may vary across different stages of development.

Project description:Kidney stone disease is influenced by multiple factors, including but not limited to age, gender, genetic background, hydration status, diet and drug. Regarding the gender, epidemiologic data across the world has shown that females at the reproductive age (15-49 years) have lower incidence/prevalence of kidney stone disease approximately 1.5-2.5 folds as compared to males at the same age. However, this gap is narrower in the postmenopausal age, whereas the postmenopausal females with higher serum estrogen levels are less likely to have kidney stones. Furthermore, female stone formers (patients with kidney stones) are associated with lower estrogen levels. Therefore, estrogen has been proposed to serve as the protective hormone against kidney stone disease. However, the precise mechanisms underlying such protective effects of estrogen remain unclear and require further investigations. This study thus investigated the effects of estradiol (which is the most prevalent and potent form of estrogen in females at the reproductive age) on cellular proteome of renal tubular cells using a proteomics approach.
