Project description:We performed next-generation RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) using brain tissue from 23 months old non-transgenic (NTG), non-treated and CP2 (mitochondrial complex I inhibitor)-treated APP/PS1 (mouse model of Alzheimer`s disease). By comparing transcriptomic data of NTG and vehicle-treated APP/PS1 mice, we found processes affected by the disease in APP/PS1 such as impaired ATP metabolism, ion transport, nervous system development, synaptic transmission, and inflammation. CP2-treatment in APP/PS1 positively affected genes related to immune system, axonogenesis, dendritic spine morphology, synaptic function, among the others. These data demonstrate that pathways improved by CP2 treatment in APP/PS1 mice comprise major pathways essential for therapeutic efficacy in Alzheimer`s disease.

Project description:Resistance of Calu3 NSCLC cells to the cytotoxic nucleoside analog gemcitabine (2',2'-difluorodeoxycytidine) can be prevented as well as reversed by the rexinoid X receptor selective agonist bexarotene. This study was designed to investigate the changes in gene expression associated with gemcitabine resistance and its reversal by bexarotene. In addition to the parental Calu3 cells and the 10 cycles of treatment of the gemcitabine resistant Calu3 cells with vehicle or bexarotene, analogous treatment paradigms with gemcitabine alone as well as the combination of both compounds have been included as controls. (However, it has to be noted that in the combination treatment, cells that were re-sensitized by bexarotene have largely been removed from the culture before harvest due to the cytotoxic activity of gemcitabine.)

Project description:Acquired drug resistance represents a major challenge in chemo-therapy treatment for various types of cancers. We have found that the retinoid X receptorâselective agonist bexarotene (LGD1069, Targretin) was efficacious in treating chemo-resistant cancer cells. The goal of this microarray study was to understand the mechanism of bexaroteneâs role in overcoming acquired drug resistance using human breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 as a model system and paclitaxel as model compound. After MDA-MB-231 cells were repeatedly treated with paclitaxel for 8 cycles with each cycle including a 3-day treatment with 30 nM paclitaxel and followed by a 7-day exposure to control medium, MDA cells resistant to paclitaxel were developed and their growth was no longer inhibited by paclitaxel treatment. Those MDA cells with acquired drug resistance, when treated with paclitaxel and bexarotene in combination, could regain their sensitivity and their growth were again inhibited. Therefore, RNA samples from parental MDA-MB-231 cells, paclitaxel-resistant MDA cells treated with vehicle, paclitaxel alone or in combination with bexarotene, were used for perform global gene expression profiling with Affymetrix HG-U133A gene chips. Keywords: Drug Treatment MDA-MB-231 cells were exposed to regimens on a 10-day cycle: a 3-day treatment with 30 nM paclitaxel and followed by a 7-day exposure to control medium. Paclitaxel resistant MDA-MB-231 cells (MDA-PR) were established within 8 cycles of such treatment (80 days). These MDA-PR cells were then treated with vehicle control, paclitaxel along, or the combination of 30 nM paclitaxel ( 3 days on and 7 days off) and 1 µM Targretin (10 days on) in a new 10-day cycle for 3 months. Thus, there are four treatment groups, parent MDA cells, MDA-PR, MDA-PR treated with paclitaxel, MDA-PR treated with paclitaxel and bexarotene, and each group had four biological replicates.

Project description:Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive malignant brain tumor. Differentiation can attenuate or block tumor growth; thus, phenotypic screenings were performed to search for drugs inducing differentiational morphological changes in mesenchymal recurrent GBM, a temozolomide (TMZ)-resistant brain cancer. Bexarotene, a selective retinoid X receptor agonist, showed strong inhibition of neurospheroidal colony formation and migration of cultured GBM stem cells. Bexarotene decreased nestin expression and significantly increased GFAP expression. Gene expression changes by bexarotene and all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), a well-known differentiation inducer, were compared. Both drugs largely altered the gene expression pattern into a tumor-ameliorating direction. These drugs increased the gene expression levels of Krüppel-like factor 9 (KLF9), regulator of G-protein signaling 4 (RGS4), growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15), angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4), and lowered the level of chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4). Both drugs also induced a potential oncogene, transglutaminase 2 (TG2), but the fold-change induced by bexarotene was considerably lesser than that by ATRA. Consistently, the TG2 activity in GBM was elevated several folds by ATRA. Because TG2 upregulation is correlated with tumor transformation and resistance, it is important to control its overexpression. Bexarotene does not upregulate TG2 as much as ATRA, and bexarotene showed in vivo tumoricidal effects in a GBM xenograft mouse model. Thus, these findings strongly suggest that bexarotene is more beneficial than ATRA and should be considered as a differentiation therapeutic agent for mesenchymal GBM.

Project description:We have recently demonstrated that short term bexarotene treatment of APP/PS1 mice significantly improves their cognitive performance. While there were no changes in plaque load, or insoluble Aβ levels in brain, biochemical analysis strongly suggested improved clearance of soluble Aβ, including Aβ oligomers. To get further insight into molecular mechanisms underlying this therapeutic effect, we explored genome-wide differential gene expression in brain of bexarotene and control treated APP/PS1 mice. We performed high throughput massively parallel sequencing on mRNA libraries generated from cortices of bexarotene or vehicle treated APP/PS1 mice and compared the expression profiles for differential gene expression. Gene Ontology (GO) Biological Process categories with the highest fold enrichment and lowest False Discovery Rate (FDR) are clustered in GO terms immune response, inflammatory response, oxidation-reduction and immunoglobulin mediated immune response. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) followed by ChIP-QPCR, and RT-QPCR expression assays were used to validate select genes, including Trem2, Tyrobp, Apoe and Ttr, differentially expressed in response to Retinoid X Receptor (RXR) activation. We found that bexarotene significantly increased the phagocytosis of soluble and insoluble Aβ in BV2 cells. The results of our study demonstrate that in AD model mice expressing human APP, gene networks up-regulated in response to RXR activation by the specific, small molecule, ligand bexarotene may influence diverse regulatory pathways that are considered critical for cognitive performance, inflammatory response and Aβ clearance, and may provide an explanation of the bexarotene therapeutic effect at the molecular level. This study also confirms that unbiased massive parallel sequencing approaches are useful and highly informative for revealing brain molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying responses to activated nuclear hormone receptors in AD animal models.

Project description:The APPSwe/PS1dE9 (APP/PS1) mouse ß-amyloidopathy mouse model exhibits extracellular Aß deposition, particularly in the neocortex and hippocampus, increasing steadily from about 6 months, with reactive astrogliosis and synapse loss occurring proximal to plaques. We crossed APP/PS1 mice onto genetically modified mice which lack microglia (Csf1r ∆FIRE/∆FIRE) to assess whether Aß plaque deposition and downstream events are altered in brains lacking microglia.
