Project description:Bone has long been established to be a highly mechanosensitive tissue. When subjected to mechanical loading, bone exhibits profoundly different anabolic responses depending on the temporal pattern in which the stimulus is applied. This phenomenon has been termed temporal processing, and involves complex signal amplification mechanisms that are largely unidentified. In this study, our goal was to characterize transcriptomic perturbations arising from the insertion of intermittent rest periods (a temporal variation with profound effects on bone anabolism) in osteoblastic cells subjected to fluid flow, and assess the utility of these perturbations to identify signaling pathways that are differentially activated by this temporal variation. At the level of the genome, we found that the common and differential alterations in gene expression arising from the two flow conditions were distributionally distinct, with the differential alterations characterized by many small changes in a large number of genes. Using bioinformatics analysis, we identified distinct up- and down-regulation transcriptomic signatures associated with the insertion of rest intervals, and found that the up-regulation signature was significantly associated with MAPK signaling. Confirming the involvement of the MAPK pathway, we found that the insertion of rest intervals significantly elevated flow-induced p-ERK1/2 levels by enabling a second spike in activity that was not observed in response to continuous flow. Collectively, these studies are the first to characterize distinct transcriptomic perturbations in bone cells subjected to continuous and intermittent stimulation, and directly demonstrate the utility of systems-based transcriptomic analysis to identify novel acute signaling pathways underlying temporal processing in bone cells.

Project description:Melanoma patients receiving drugs targeting BRAFV600E and MKK1/2 invariably develop resistance and continue progression, limiting the efficacy of treatment. As an alternative to continuous dosing schedules, intermittent treatment strategies involving intervening periods of drug withdrawal have been proposed to delay resistance. The efficacy of this treatment strategy has been supported by preclinical findings and several clinical case reports. The beneficial effect of intermittent treatment has been attributed to “drug addiction”, in which the cell viability of resistant cells is compromised during periods of drug removal, presumably due to MAPK pathway hyperactivation. However, the cellular and molecular responses to intermittent treatment are still incompletely understood. Here, we investigate effects of intermittent treatment with the BRAFV600E inhibitor, encorafenib, in a metastatic melanoma cell line engineered to express genes conferring resistance to BRAF inhibition. We show that intermittent treatment shows superior growth suppression compared to continuous treatment for resistant cells that substantially reactivate the MAPK pathway. While drug addiction is clearly observable in these cells, it fails to account for the advantageous effects of intermittent treatment. Instead, growth suppression can mainly be explained by resensitization as most cell death is observed upon readdition of drug following periods of drug removal. Gene expression analysis shows that a unique and reversible transcriptional state is induced in intermittently treated cells following periods of drug removal. Thus, we conclude that the beneficial effects of intermittent treatment in our model are best explained by adaptive, non-mutational changes in transcription which confer drug resensitization.

Project description:We conducted whole genome sequencing on eight evolved E. coli strains (S1–S8) and the parental wild-type (WT) strain to identify mutations arising from ofloxacin treatments. These strains (S1-S8), generated through fluoroquinolone-mediated adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE), exhibited varying levels of tolerance and resistance. The ALE experiment involved intermittent antibiotic treatments of eight independent cultures over 22 days. The untreated WT strain served as a baseline to pinpoint mutations in the evolved strains.

Project description:Time-course gene expression profiles were obtained from lung tissues of the rats treated with room air, intermittent- (IH) or sustained hypoxia (SH) for 1, 3, 7, 14 and 30 days using CodeLink microarrays. Using a systems biology approach, we observed that two different mechanisms are involved in the lung responses to IH and SH: IH leads to increased G-protein coupled signaling-, ion transport-, neuronal- and steroid hormone receptor activities; whereas SH causes increased blood vessel morphogenesis and immune responses. Our results provide insight into molecular mechanisms underlying IH and SH. Keywords: gene expression array-based, count rats were treated with intermittent- (IH) or sustained hypoxia (SH) for 1, 3, 7, 14 and 30 days; rats treated with room air were used as controls; gene expression profiles were obtained from these rats

Project description:The â??small perturbationâ?? approach is critical in studying the â??steady stateâ?? of a biological system. In our experiments, small perturbations were generated by applying a series of repeating intermittent small doses of ultraviolet radiation to a human keratinocyte cell line, HaCaT. The biological response was assessed by monitoring the gene expression profiles using a high reliability and high resolution cDNA microarray system. Following intermittent 10 J/m2 UVB small perturbations, two opposite classes of genes, down-regulated and up-regulated, exhibited an immediate response followed by relaxation between each small perturbation, but were prolonged down- or up-regulated without relaxation while larger doses (233 or 582.5 J/m2) of UVB were applied. A repeated cycle pattern of gene expression following small perturbations is an indication of the existence of steady states. This cycle pattern is suppressed when large perturbations are applied. We believe that this is a universal phenomenon. In our experiments, the functions of up-regulated genes were mainly associated with anti-proliferation, anti-mitogenesis, and apoptosis. On the other hand, down-regulated genes were mainly related to proliferation, mitogenesis, and anti-apoptosis. In conclusion, this study experimentally proves the concept of steady state at the transcription level and demonstrates the feasibility of using small perturbation approaches for investigating steady states. This study could also set a foundation of computational systems biology, which has implicitly used the concept of steady state. Keywords: time course Three UVB exposures are indicated by UV at time points of 0, 8 and 16 hours. T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, and T6 denote the sampling time points. T1, T3 and T5 are allocated 30 minutes after the corresponding UVB irradiation. T2, T4 and T6 are allocated 8 hours after each UVB irradiation. At each sampling time point, two samples (control and UV-irradiated) are collected. See supplementary file Loop_design.pdf for further explanation.

Project description:Intermittent fasting has gained increasing popularity globally for its potential benefits for improving health and managing weight, but how it impacts the homeostasis and regeneration of peripheral tissues remains elusive. Here we report that in mice, commonly used intermittent fasting regimens negatively affect hair regeneration by selectively inducing apoptosis in activated hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). Through manipulating animals' daily feeding schedules and caloric intake, we have found that the impaired hair regeneration is primarily caused by the extended fasting periods within these regimens, rather than a reduction in total caloric intake or alterations in circadian rhythm. As the fasting period lengthens, the severity of the defects worsens. Mechanistically, extended periods of fasting activate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, prompting the release of lipolytic hormones from the adrenal glands into circulation. This triggers rapid lipolysis in dermal adipocytes, elevating levels of free fatty acids within the skin. Consequently, fatty acid oxidation is activated in HFSCs, causing increased cellular oxidative stress and apoptosis. Surgical removal of adrenal glands, genetic inhibition of fatty acid oxidation in HFSCs, or enhancement of HFSCs’ antioxidant capability genetically or pharmaceutically prevents fasting-induced stem cell death. Our study reveals a detrimental effect of intermittent fasting on somatic stem cells and peripheral tissue regeneration, and identifies a close crosstalk between an ancient neuroendocrine mechanism and a critical niche component that functions as a “brake” to halt tissue regeneration when the supply of nutrients becomes unstable.

Project description:Our ability to utilize binocular visual information depends on the visibility of the retinal images in each eye, which varies with both their spatial and temporal frequency content. Although the effects of spatial information on binocular function have been established, the effects of temporal frequency on binocularity are less well understood. These factors may also vary with refractive error if spatiotemporal sensitivity is affected by structural changes during the emmetropization process that may differentially affect distinct ganglion cells. In a cross-sectional study, we evaluated the potential effects of temporal and spatial frequency on binocularity in young individuals with emmetropia or myopia. Stereopsis and binocular balance were measured as a function of temporal (0-12 Hz) and spatial (1-8 c/deg) frequency. Stereopsis thresholds were measured by determining the minimum disparity at which subjects accurately identified the depth of bandpass-filtered rings. Binocular balance was measured by determining the relative contrast at which subjects reported dichoptic bandpass-filtered letters with equal frequency. Stereopsis thresholds were temporal but not spatial frequency dependent whereas binocular balance was spatial and temporal frequency dependent. There were no differences in monocular spatiotemporal contrast sensitivity between refractive groups in our sample. However, individuals with myopia showed reduced stereopsis with flickering stimuli and greater binocular imbalance at higher spatial and lower temporal frequencies compared to emmetropes. Differences in binocular vision between emmetropia and corrected myopia depend on temporal as well as spatial frequency and may be the cause or consequence of abnormal emmetropization during visual development.
