Project description:Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality, with sex and age being strong risk factors. Mitochondria are vital for normal cardiac function, and regulation of mitochondrial structure and function may impact susceptibility to CVD. We analyzed the basal expression levels of mitochondria-related genes in the hearts of male and female untreated control rats at different ages to identify potential role of mitochondria in differential susceptibility to CVD between the sexes. Hearts from 5 male and 5 female rats at three different ages (young (8-week), adult (21-week), and old (78-week)) were used for investigation of sex-related differences in expression levels of genes. At each age, rats were humanely euthanized by CO2 asphyxiation and whole hearts were removed quickly, flash frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at -80ËC until further investigation. The frozen hearts were individually ground into powder in liquid nitrogen using a mortar and pestle chilled on dry ice. Total RNAs were extracted from heart tissue powder and gene expression was measured using Agilent Rat Whole Genome Microarrays (4 x 44k format; Agilent Technologies, Inc.).

Project description:Kidney miRNA expression was examined in F344 rats at 2, 5, 6, 8, 15, 21, 78, and 104 weeks of age in both sexes using Agilent miRNA microarrays. 311 miRNAs were found to be expressed in at least one age and sex. Filtering criteria of ≥1.5 fold change and ANOVA (FDR <5%) revealed 174 differentially expressed miRNAs in the kidney; 173 and 34 miRNAs exhibiting age and sex effects, respectively. Principal component analysis revealed age effects predominated over sex effects, with 2 week miRNA expression being much different from other ages. No significant sexually dimorphic miRNA expression was observed from 5 to 8 weeks, while the most differential expression (13 miRNAs) was observed at 21 weeks. Potential target genes of these differentially expressed miRNAs were identified. Pathway analysis was used to investigate the possible roles of these target genes in age- and sex-specific differences.

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:Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are expressed by a wide range of eukaryotic organisms, and function in diverse biological processes. Numerous miRNAs have been identified in Bombyx mori, but the temporal expression profiles of miRNAs corresponding to each stage transition over the entire life cycle of the silkworm remain to be established. To obtain a comprehensive overview of the correlation between miRNA expression and stage transitions, we performed a whole-life test and subsequent stage-by-stage examinations on nearly one hundred miRNAs in the silkworm. Results: Our results show that miRNAs display a wide variety of expression profiles over the whole life of the silkworm, including continuous expression from embryo to adult (bmo-miR-184), up-regulation over the entire life cycle (bmo-let-7 and miR-100), down-regulation over the entire life cycle (miR-124), expression associated with embryogenesis (miR-29 and miR-92), up-regulation from early 3rd instar to pupa (miR-275), and complementary pulses in expression between miR-34b and miR-275. Stage-by-stage examinations revealed further expression patterns, such as emergence at specific time-points during embryogenesis and up-regulation of miRNA groups in late embryos (miR-1 and bantam), expression associated with stage transition between instar and molt larval stages (miR-34b), expression associated with silk gland growth and spinning activity (miR-274), continuous high expression from the spinning larval to pupal and adult stages (miR-252 and miR-31a), a coordinate expression trough in day 3 pupae of both sexes (miR-10b and miR-281), up-regulation in pupal metamorphosis of both sexes (miR-29b), and down-regulation in pupal metamorphosis of both sexes (miR-275). Conclusions: We present the full-scale expression profiles of miRNAs throughout the life cycle of Bombyx mori. The whole-life expression profile was further investigated via stage-by-stage analysis. Our data provide an important resource for more detailed functional analysis of miRNAs in this animal. In the study presented here, we performed a whole-life test and subsequent stage-by-stage examinations on nearly one hundred miRNAs in the silkworm, leading to a comprehensive overview of the correlation between miRNA expression and stage transitions. In all, 59 unique developmental timepoints were inspected in this study.

Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of susceptibility loci for chronic and inflammatory disease phenotypes in humans. There is increasing evidence that chronic inflammation is a crucial driver in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), which may be genetically determined. To understand the genetic architecture underlying chronic inflammation and CVD we performed a systematic analysis of (1) common risk alleles coming from published GWAS, (2) of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks informed by (3) gene expression data with a defined molecular target involved in the inflammatory processes promoting CVD, MRP8. (4) through analysis of integrated haplotype scores (iHS) and FST values in HapMap phase 2 data, we investigated whether recent selection pressure acting upon inflammatory genes affected CVD susceptibility loci. Our findings provide significant evidence for a PPI network, which connects inflammatory and cardiovascular susceptibility genes, and establish a genetic framework of inflammatory CVD. 41.59% of PPI genes are associated with immune functions. 28.3% of integrated genes can be linked to both, an inflammatory and cardiovascular disease phenotype. Interestingly, CDKN2B, and CELSR2/PSRC1/MYBPHL/SORT1, unequivocally replicated CVD loci, are integrated within this network as are several SNPs located in transcription factor recognition sequences, i.e. NFKB1, STAT3, which are key factors in inflammation. Finally, we observed a significant enrichment of inflammatory variants within CVD cluster loci that are targets of selection. Overall, 32 genes exhibit traces of selection, 16 of which are part of the PPI, further suggesting that recent selective sweeps may have affected the genomic architecture underlying CVD. 6 samples, no replicates.

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.

Project description:Lipid (Plasmalogen) levels can be modulated via a dietary supplement called alkylglycerols (AG) which has demonstrated benefits in some disease settings. However, its therapeutic potential in cardiomyopathy remains unknown. This study explored an optimized AG supplement in restoring plasmalogen levels and attenuate cardiac dysfunction/pathology. Here, we placed a cardiac-specific transgenic cardiomyopathy mouse model, with cardiac function and molecular landscape assessed. AG supplementation increased total plasmalogens in DCM hearts and attenuated lung congestion of both sexes, but only prevented cardiac dysfunction in males. This was associated with cardiac and renal enlargement, a more favorable pro-cardiac gene expression profile, and a trend for lower cardiac fibrosis. By lipidomics, specific d18:1 ceramide species associated with cardiac pathology were lower in the DCM hearts from mice on the AG diet, and tetra-linoleoyl cardiolipin, a lipid crucial for mitochondria function was restored with AG supplementation. Proteomic analysis of hearts from male DCM mice receiving AG supplementation revealed enrichment in mitochondrial protein network, as well as upregulation of extracellular matrix binding proteins associated with cardiac regeneration. Here we highlight that AG supplementation restored plasmalogens in DCM hearts, but showed greater therapeutic potential in males than females
