Project description:Kidney transcriptome sequencing was applied to identify the top up-regulated genes in mice with AKI. The product of the top-ranked gene was identified in the tubular cells and urine both in mouse and human AKI. Data from two cohorts of patients with a prehospitalization estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 45ml/min/1.73m2 who survived for at least 90 days after AKI were used to derive and validate multivariable prediction models. AKI to CKD progression was defined as a persistent eGFR < 60ml/min/1.73m2 and with a minimum 25% reduction from baseline eGFR 90 days after AKI in patients with prehospitalization eGFR ≥ 60ml/min/1.73m2. AKI to advanced CKD was defined by a sustained reduction of eGFR < 30 ml/min/1.73m2 90 days after AKI in those with prehospitalization eGFR 45-60ml/min/1.73m2. Kidney cytokeratin 20 (CK20) was significantly up-regulated in injured proximal tubular cells and detectable in urine within 7 days after AKI. High concentrations of urinary CK20 (uCK20) were independently associated with the severity of histological AKI and the risk of AKI to CKD or advanced CKD progression. In Test set, the AUC of uCK20 for predicting AKI to CKD or advanced CKD was 0.80, outperformed currently used biomarkers for detecting kidney tubular injury. Addition of uCK20 to an established clinical model significantly improved the ability for predicting AKI-CKD progression with an AUC of 0.90, and largely improved the risk reclassification.In conclusion This finding highlighted uCK20 as a novel and useful predictor for AKI-CKD progression, and may provide a tool to early identify patients at high risk of CKD following AKI.

Project description:In this study, we further verified the role of LIF by looking at gene expressions in morula stage embryos through DNA microarray. Our results showed that LIF knockdown affected 373 gene expressions, and after LIF supplementation we found that the epidermal growth factor (EGF) is most affected by LIF expression. In order to observe the correlation between LIF and EGF, the LIF knockdown embryos were supplemented with various growth factors including LIF, EGF, GM-CSF, TGF, and IGF II. Only LIF and EGF caused the rate of blastocyst development to recover from 52% of control significantly to 83% and 93%, respectively, and all of the parameters, such as the diameter of blastocysts, the numbers of blastomeres, and cells in ICM and TE, to mostly be restored. Moreover, EGF knockdown also impaired blastocyst development which was reversed by LIF or EGF supplementation. These data suggest that the two growth factors EGF and LIF can be compensatory to each other during early embryonic development, and one of them is necessary for sustaining the normal development of preimplantation embryos.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small regulatory RNA molecules that modulate the activity of specific mRNA targets and play important roles in a wide range of physiologic and pathologic processes. We hypothesized that miRNAs might be involved in the progression of CKD. In our previous studies we found chronic renal damages developed progressively in rats with 5/6 nephrectomy. L-mimosine(L-Mim) intervention from wk 5 to wk 12 improved renal function and resulted in additional accumulation of HIF-1 M-NM-1 and -2 M-NM-1 at wk 12. In the current study we found miR-29c was up-regulated in the L-Mim treated group compared with the control using Agilent miRNA microarrays. Of the microRNAs and proteins that exhibited reciprocal changes in expression following the L-Mim treatment, miR-29c and tropomyosin 1M-NM-1 (TPM1), which is involved in stress fiber function, met the sequence criteria for microRNA-target interaction, were later confirmed by 3'-untranslated region reporter analysis. TGFM-NM-21 treatment (3 ng/ml, 24 hours) decreased miR-29c expression and up-regulated protein expression of TPM1 in human renal epithelial cells. Overexpression of miR-29c significantly attenuated TGF-M-NM-21 induced increase in TPM1 in vitro. Moreover, intrarenal expression of miR-29c was decreased in IgAN patients with moderate to severe tubulointerstital fibrosis (TIF), compared with IgAN patients without TIF, and intrarenal protein expression of TMP1 was significantly increased in IgAN patients with TIF. The results suggest that intrarenal expression of miR-29c was down-regulated while its predicted target, TPM1 was up-regulated in the progression of CKD. Short term stabilizing of HIF up-regulates miR-29c and attenuates CKD in the remnant kidney model. Four weeks after 5/6 nephrectomy, rats were treated with intraperitoneal injections of vehicle or L-mimosine (L-Mim, Calbiochem), a prolyl 4-hydroxylase inhibitor (PHD), at a dosage of 50 mg/kg every other day. At the end of wk 12 after 5/6 nephrectomy, all rats (n=4, for each group) were sacrificed and blood samples were collected via cardiac puncture. Renal tissue were harvested, one piece of which was fixed in neutral formalin and then embedded in paraffin. The remaining kidney tissue was dissected in ice-cold PBS to, remove medulla, and then snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen before transferring to storage at -80M-BM-0C until further analysis.

L-mimosine(L-Mim) intervention from wk 5 to wk 12 improved renal function and resulted in additional accumulation of HIF-1 α and -2 α at wk 12. In the current study we found miR-29c was up-regulated in the L-Mim treated group compared with the control using Agilent miRNA microarrays. Of the microRNAs and proteins that exhibited reciprocal changes in expression following the L-Mim treatment, miR-29c and tropomyosin 1α (TPM1), which is involved in stress fiber function, met the sequence criteria for microRNA-target interaction, were later confirmed by 3'-untranslated region reporter analysis. TGFβ1 treatment (3 ng/ml, 24 hours) decreased miR-29c expression and up-regulated protein expression of TPM1 in human renal epithelial cells. Overexpression of miR-29c significantly attenuated TGF-β1 induced increase in TPM1 in vitro. Moreover, intrarenal expression of miR-29c was decreased in IgAN patients with moderate to severe tubulointerstital fibrosis (TIF), compared with IgAN patients without TIF, and intrarenal protein expression of TMP1 was significantly increased in IgAN patients with TIF.

Project description:Each year in the United States, more than 530,000 babies are born prior to full 37 weeks of gestation. One of the major problems associated with prematurity is the development of a condition known as necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). In 50% of infants with NEC a large amount of damaged and dead intestine must be surgically removed, often resulting in death or lifelong health problems. A growing body of experimental and clinical evidence supports a conclusion that deficient quantities of epidermal growth factor (EGF) leads to the development of NEC. The EGF peptide appears to be fundamental for normal intestinal development and repair. Soy-milk containing engineered EGF may be a suitable therapy if given to premature infants to prevent NEC. Human mature EGF is 6 kDa protein with three intramolecular disulfide bonds. To produce EGF a synthetic codon-optimized gene was transferred to soybean by biolistic transformation. The resulting transgenic lines were regenerated into somatic embryos that were screened by PCR and the production of EGF assayed by ELISA. Crude extracts of somatic embryos producing EGF were assessed for bioactivity by induction of phosphorylation of the EGF receptor in HeLa cells that showed soy-produced EGF exhibited the same activity as authentic EGF. T0 transgenic EGF seeds have showed positive ELISA for EGF demonstrating the feasibility to produce a therapeutic soy-milk to mitigate the development of NEC by premature infants. The next stage of this project will test the efficacy of Soy/EGF in an animal model for short bowel syndrome.

Project description:Renal dysfunction and its functional regression have been known as one of major complication of type 2 diabetes (T2D). The prognosis for kidney function can be determined by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and the known protein makers such as albumin and those parameters can classy patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) grade 3 or higher but there are limitations in prediction. Therefore, there have been clinical unmet needs for urinary protein biomarkers to monitor or predict the patient status for precision medicine.

Project description:Despite continual efforts to establish pre-operative prognostic model of gastric cancer by using clinical and pathological parameters, a staging system that reliably separates patients with early and advanced gastric cancer into homogeneous groups with respect to prognosis does not exist. With use of microarray and quantitative RT-PCR technologies, we exploited series of experiments in combination with complementary data analyses on tumor specimens from 161 gastric cancer patients. Various statistical analyses were applied to gene expression data to uncover subgroups of gastric cancer, to identify potential biomarkers associated with prognosis, and to construct molecular predictor of risk from identified prognostic biomarkers.Two subgroups of gastric cancer with strong association with prognosis were uncovered. The robustness of prognostic gene expression signature was validated in independent patient cohort with use of support vector machines prediction model. For easy translation of our finding to clinics, we develop scoring system based on expression of six genes that can predict the likelihood of recurrence after curative resection of tumors. In multivariate analysis, our novel risk score was an independent predictor of recurrence (P=0.004) in cohort of 96 patients, and its robustness was validated in two other independent cohorts. We identified novel prognostic subgroups of gastric cancer that are distinctive in gene expression patterns. Six-gene signature and risk score derived from them has been validated for predicting the likelihood of survival at diagnosis.

Project description:Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 8 to 16% people worldwide, with an increasing incidence and prevalence of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). The effective management of CKD is confounded by the inability to identify patients at high risk of progression while in early stages of CKD. To address this challenge, a renal biopsy transcriptome-driven approach was applied to develop noninvasive prognostic biomarkers for CKD progression. Expression of intrarenal transcripts was correlated with the baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in 261 patients. Proteins encoded by eGFR-associated transcripts were tested in urine for association with renal tissue injury and baseline eGFR. The ability to predict CKD progression, defined as the composite of ESKD or 40% reduction of baseline eGFR, was then determined in three independent CKD cohorts. A panel of intrarenal transcripts, including epidermal growth factor (EGF), a tubule-specific protein critical for cell differentiation and regeneration, predicted eGFR. The amount of EGF protein in urine (uEGF) showed significant correlation (P < 0.001) with intrarenal EGF mRNA, interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy, eGFR, and rate of eGFR loss. Prediction of the composite renal end point by age, gender, eGFR, and albuminuria was significantly (P < 0.001) improved by addition of uEGF, with an increase of the C-statistic from 0.75 to 0.87. Outcome predictions were replicated in two independent CKD cohorts. Our approach identified uEGF as an independent risk predictor of CKD progression. Addition of uEGF to standard clinical parameters improved the prediction of disease events in diverse CKD populations with a wide spectrum of causes and stages.
