Project description:Hfe disruption in the mouse leads to experimental hemochromatosis by a mechanism which remains elusive. Evidence for at least five modifier genes has been obtained. These account for the higher iron load of Hfe-deficient D2 mice compared to B6 mice. Gene expression profling was used to clarify the mechanism of Hfe action and to identify potential modifier genes. Experiment Overall Design: Liver and duodenum were obtained from wild-type and Hfe-deficient B6 and D2 mice (three mice per strain/genotype combination).

Project description:Iron is an essential trace element whose absorption is usually tightly regulated in the duodenum. HFE-related hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is characterized by abnormally low expression of the iron-regulatory hormone, hepcidin, which results in increased iron absorption. The liver is crucial for iron homeostasis as it is the main production site of hepcidin. The aim of this study was to explore and compare the genome-wide transcriptome response to Hfe deficiency and dietary iron overload in murine liver and duodenum.

Project description:Hfe disruption in mouse leads to experimental hemochromatosis by a mechanism that remains elusive. Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 microarrays and bioinformatics tools were used to characterize patterns of gene expression in the liver and the duodenum of wild-type and Hfe-deficient B6 and D2 mice (two inbred mouse strains with divergent iron loading severity in response to Hfe disruption), to clarify the mechanisms of Hfe action, and to identify potential modifier genes.We identified 1,343 transcripts that were upregulated or downregulated in liver and 370 in duodenum of Hfe-/- mice, as compared to wild-type mice of the same genetic background. In liver, Hfe disruption upregulated genes involved in antioxidant defense, reflecting mechanisms of hepatoprotection activated by iron overload. Hfe disruption also downregulated the expression of genes involved in fatty acid beta-oxidation and cholesterol catabolism, and of genes participating in mitochondrial iron traffic, suggesting a link between Hfe and the mitochondrion in regulation of iron homeostasis. These latter alterations may contribute to the inappropriate iron deficiency signal sensed by the duodenal enterocytes of these mice, and the subsequent upregulation of the genes encoding the ferrireductase Dcytb and several iron transporters or facilitators of iron transport in the duodenum. In addition, for several genes differentially expressed between B6 and D2 mice, expression was regulated by loci overlapping with previously mapped Hfe-modifier loci.The expression patterns identified in this study contribute novel insights into the mechanisms of Hfe action and potential candidate genes for iron loading severity.

Project description:Transcriptome changes were studied in the brain of 13 week male AKR mice with disruption of two iron regulatory genes, hemochromatosis Hfe and transferrin receptor 2 (Tfr2) compared to age and gender matched wildtype controls. The characterization of these mice is developed by Delima et al. 2012 (Delima, R. D., A. C. G. Chua, J. E. E. Tirnitz-Parker, E. K. Gan, K. D. Croft, R. M. Graham, J. K. Olynyk and D. Trinder (2012). Disruption of hemochromatosis protein and transferrin receptor 2 causes iron-induced liver injury in mice. Hepatology 56(2): 585-593.)

Project description:Inflammation influences iron balance in the whole organism. A common clinical manifestation of these changes is the anemia of chronic disease (ACD; also called anemia of inflammation). Inflammation reduces duodenal iron absorption and increases macrophage iron storage, resulting in low serum iron concentrations (hyposideremia). Despite the protection hyposideremia provides against proliferating microorganisms, this iron withholding reduces the iron available to developing red blood cells and eventually contributes to the development of anemia. Hepcidin antimicrobial peptide (Hamp) is a hepatic defensin-like peptide hormone that inhibits duodenal iron absorption and macrophage iron release. Hamp has antimicrobial activity and is part of the type II acute phase response. It is also thought to play a critical regulatory role in the sequestration of iron in the context of ACD. We report that mice with deficiencies in the hemochromatosis gene product, Hfe, mount a general inflammatory response, but lack appropriate Hamp expression and fail to develop hyposideremia. These data suggest a previously unidentified role for Hfe in innate immunity and ACD.

Project description:Purpose: The goal of the present study is to provide an independent assessment of the retinal transcriptome signatures of the C57BL/6J (B6) and DBA/2J (D2) mice and to enhance existing microarray datasets for accurately defining the allelic differences in the BXD recombinant inbred strains. Methods: Retinas from both B6 and D2 mice (3 of each) were used for the RNA-seq analysis. Transcriptome features were examined for both strains. Differentially expressed genes between the 2 strains were identified and bioinformatic analysis was performed to analyze the transcriptome differences between B6 and D2 strains, including Gene ontology (GO) analysis, Phenotype and Reactome enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis. The RNA-seq data were then directly compared with one of the microarray datasets (DoD Retina Normal Affy MoGene 2.0 ST RMA Gene Level Microarray Database) hosted on GeneNetwork (www.genenetwork.org). Results: RNA-seq provided an in-depth analysis of the transcriptome of the B6 and D2 retina with a total of more than 30,000,000 reads per sample. Over 70% of the reads were uniquely mapped, resulting in a total of 18,100 gene counts for all 6 samples. 1,665 genes were differentially expressed, with 858 of these more highly expressed in B6 and 807 more highly expressed in D2. Several molecular pathways were differentially active between the two strains, including the retinoic acid metabolic process, endoplasmic reticulum lumen, extracellular matrix organization, and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. The most enriched KEGG pathways were the pentose and glucuronate interconversions pathway, the cytochrome P450 pathway, protein digestion and absorption pathway and the ECM-receptor interaction pathway. Each of these pathways had a more than 4-fold enrichment. The DoD normal retina microarray database provided expression profiling for 26,191 annotated transcripts for B6 mouse, D2 mouse and 53 BXD strains. A total of 13,793 genes in this microarray dataset were comparable to the RNA-seq dataset. For both B6 and D2, the RNA-seq data and microarray data were highly correlated with each other (Pearson's r = 0.780 for B6 and 0.784 for D2). Our results suggest that the microarray dataset can reliably detect differentially expressed genes between the B6 and D2 retinas, with a positive predictive value of 45.6%, and a negative predictive value of 93.6%. Examples of true positive and false positive genes are provided. Conclusions: Retinal transcriptome features of B6 and D2 mouse strains provide a useful reference for a better understanding of the mouse retina. Generally, the microarray database presented on GeneNetwork shows good agreement with the RNA-seq data, while we note that any allelic difference between B6 and D2 should be verified with the latter.

Project description:To gain insight into the host cell types, cellular and molecular pathways possibly involved in the differential permissiveness to pulmonary replication of M. tuberculosis, we carried out transcript profiling studies on M. tuberculosis-infected lungs from congenic and parental strains. We were particularly interested in two groups of transcripts. The first group consists of transcripts which expression in the lung is regulated in response to M. tuberculosis infection (global response to infection), and that is obtained by comparing transcripts profiles of infected vs. uninfected lungs. The second group of transcripts is associated with increased resistance to M. tuberculosis infection of B6 and D2.B6-Chr7 mice. That list consists in the overlap between the lists commonly expressed in response to infection between resistant B6 and D2.B6-Chr7 but that show a significant difference in modulation when compared to infected susceptible D2.<br><br> In these experiments, B6, D2 as well as the D2.B6-Chr19, and D2.B6-Chr7 congenic lines were infected with M. tuberculosis and lungs were harvested at day 30 and day 70, and RNA was prepared. Three independent RNA samples from each group were converted to labeled cDNAs and hybridized to Affymetrix oligonucleotides arrays (Mouse Genome 430 2.0 array). Hybridization results were analyzed with the Genesifter analysis program to characterize changes in gene expression.

Project description:Ethanol’s anxiolytic actions contribute to increased consumption and the development of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). Our laboratory previously identified genetic loci contributing to the anxiolytic-like properties of ethanol in BXD recombinant inbred mice, derived from C57BL/6J (B6) and DBA/2J (D2) progenitor strains. That work identified Ninein (Nin) as a candidate gene underlying ethanol’s acute anxiolytic-like properties in BXD mice. Nin has a complex exonic content with known alternative splicing events that alter cellular distribution of the NIN protein. We hypothesize that strain-specific differences in Nin alternative splicing contribute to changes in Nin gene expression and B6/D2 strain differences in ethanol anxiolysis. Using quantitative reverse-transcriptase PCR to target Nin alternative splicing, we identified isoform-specific exon expression differences between B6 and D2 mice in prefrontal cortex, nucleus accumbens and amygdala. We extended this analysis using deep RNA sequencing in B6 and D2 nucleus accumbens samples and that Nin expression was significantly higher in D2 mice. Furthermore, exon utilization and alternative splicing analyses identified 8 differentially utilized exons and significant exon-skipping events between the strains, including 3 novel splicing events in the 3’ end of the Nin gene that were specific to the D2 strain. Our studies provide the first in-depth analysis of Nin alternative splicing in brain and identify a potential genetic mechanism altering Nin expression between B6 and D2 mice, thus contributing to differences in the anxiolytic-like properties of ethanol between these strains. This work contributes to our understanding of genetic differences modulating ethanol actions on anxiety that may contribute to the risk for alcohol use disorder.

Project description:DBA/2J (D2) and C57BL/6J mice (B6) were infected intra-nasally with 2x10^3 FFU of influenza A H1N1 (PR8) virus. Lungs were collected from mock-infected controls or at day 1,2,3,4 post infection. Expression data were obtained from three independent experiments. We infected a highly susceptible mouse strain (D2) and a resistant strain (B6) with PR8 and performed a genome-wide expression analysis. We found genes expressed in lung epithelium that were specifically down-regulated in D2 mice, whereas a cluster of genes on chromosome 3 was only down-regulated in B6. In both mouse strains, chemokines, cytokines and interferon-response genes were up-regulated, indicating that the main innate immune defense pathways were activated. However, many immune response genes were up-regulated in D2 much stronger than in B6, and several immune response genes were exclusively regulated in D2. Thus, susceptible D2 mice showed a hyper-inflammatory response. This response is similar to infections with highly pathogenic influenza virus and may serve as a paradigm for a hyper-inflammatory host response to influenza A virus.
