Transcriptomic analysis comparing mouse strains with extreme total lung capacities identifies novel candidate genes for pulmonary function

ABSTRACT: Our data demonstrates enrichment of the GO term extracellular region among the decreased lung transcripts of JF1 throughout the process of lung development and maturation in consistent to the altered elastin to collagen ratio. Our microarray data showed increased ~4 fold increased elastin transcripts in JF1 lungs at P70. Specific CL‐saline/air ratio in JF1 mice compared to C3H (JF1-male: 2.68±01.10 versus C3H-male: 2.15±0.42, p<0.05; JF1-female: 3.22±0.88 versus C3H-female: 2.27±0.23, p<0.05) suggests that surface tension contributes more than the elastic recoiling properties of lung in determining the lung compliance as assessed by air filling. This observation is consistent with the smaller alveolar size of JF1 mice. The lower ratio (specific compliance) of CLAir/TLC and CLSaline/TLC in JF1 indicates that elastic recoil due to tissue properties is higher in JF1 compared to C3H. Therefore, the two phenomenon results in a less compliant lung due to higher surface tension in the alveoli and higher elastic recoil due to tissue properties in JF1 compared to C3H. Therefore, the lung architecture, lung function and molecular data of the two strains are in agreement with each other.

Gene expression analysis of human heart valves

Project description:Semilunar valve leaflets have a well-described trilaminar histoarchitecture with a sophisticated elastic fiber network. It was previously proposed that elastin-containing fibers play a subordinate role in early human cardiac valve development; however, this assumption was based on data obtained from mouse models and human second and third trimester tissues. Here, we systematically analyzed tissues from human fetal first (4-12 weeks) and second (13-18 weeks) trimester, adolescent (14-19 years) and adult (50-55 years) hearts to monitor the temporal and spatial distribution of elastic fibers, focusing on semilunar valves. Global gene expression analyses revealed that the transcription of genes essential for elastic fiber formation starts early within the first trimester. These data were confirmed by quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry employing antibodies that recognize fibronectin, fibrilin-1, -2 and -3, EMILIN-1, fibulin-4 and fibulin-5, which were all expressed at the onset of cardiac cushion formation (~week 4 of development). Tropoelastin/ elastin protein expression was first detectable in leaflets of 7-week hearts. We revealed that immature elastic fibers are organized in early human cardiovascular development, and mature elastin-containing fibers first evolve in semilunar valves when blood pressure and heartbeat accelerate. Our findings provide a conceptual framework with the potential to lead to novel hypotheses in human cardiac valve development and disease. Total RNA obtained from fetal cardiac valve cushions, developed fetal heart valves, adolescent heart valves, and adult heart valves.

Transcription profiling of aorta from mice underexpressing Fibulin-4 to investigate its role in elastic fibre assembly and cardio-vasuclar disease

Project description:Extracellular elastic fibres apply structure and mechanical elasticity to organs such as large arteries, lungs and skin 1. Elastic fibres are assembled through polymerization of tropoelastin monomers and loss of elastin is associated with aneurysmal degeneration of the aorta 2. The Fibulins are a six-member protein family hypothesized to function as intermolecular bridges that stabilize the organization of extracellular matrix structures such as elastic fibres and basement membranes 3. Fibulin-4 is found in the medial layers of arteries and moderately expressed in heart valves 4. To examine a potential role of Fibulin-4 in elastic fibre assembly and cardio-vascular disease we generated a mouse model underexpressing Fibulin-4. To get insight into the underlying molecular pathways involved in aneurysm formation, we determined the aorta transcriptome of Fibulin-4R/R animals and identified biological processes that were significantly overrepresented including apoptosis and cell death as well as several novel gene targets implicated in the response to aortic failure. We conclude that decreased Fibulin-4 expression causes aberrant composition of the elastin layers in the aorta and valvular leaflets, resulting in aortic aneurysms and heart abnormalities.

Elastic Fibers Define Embryonic Tissue Stiffness to Enable Buckling Morphogenesis of the Small Intestine

Project description:During embryonic development, tissues must possess precise material properties to ensure that cell-generated forces give rise to the stereotyped morphologies of developing organs. However, the question of how material properties are established and regulated during development remains understudied. Here, we aim to address these broader questions through the study of intestinal looping, a process by which the initially straight intestinal tube buckles into loops, permitting ordered packing within the body cavity. Looping results from elongation of the tube against the constraint of an attached tissue, the dorsal mesentery, which is elastically stretched by the elongating tube to nearly triple its length. This elastic energy storage allows the mesentery to provide stable compressive forces that ultimately buckle the tube into loops. Beginning with a transcriptomic analysis of the mesentery, we identified widespread upregulation of extracellular matrix related genes during looping, including genes related to elastic fiber deposition. Combining molecular and mechanical analyses, we conclude that elastin confers tensile stiffness to the mesentery, enabling its mechanical role in organizing the developing small intestine. These results shed light on the role of elastin as a driver of morphogenesis that extends beyond its more established role in resisting cyclic deformation in adult tissues.

Effect of 48 h aldosterone treatment on late-gestation fetal lung

Project description:The late-gestation fetal lung has relatively high levels of expression of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) as well as the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), suggesting that endogenous corticosteroids may act in the lung through binding at MR as well as GR. This study was designed to determine the effects of physiologically relevant increases in steroids on MR and GR in the late-gestation lung. The GR agonist, betamethasone, the MR agonist, aldosterone, or both agonists were infused intravenously for 48 hours in ovine fetuses of approximately 130 days gestation. Effects on airway pressures during stepwise inflation of the in situ lung, expression of ENaC and Na,K ATPase, and elastin and collagen content were determined at the end of the infusions. We found that aldosterone significantly reduced the initial airway pressures measured in situ during inflation. This effect did not occur with betamethasone alone or in combination with aldosterone. Conversely, betamethasone, but not aldosterone, significantly increased expression of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) subunit mRNAs, and collagen and elastin content in the lungs. Aldosterone altered novel gene pathways in the fetal lung, suggesting effects on lung compliance via genes which influence immune pathways and lung stiffness. The results are consistent with corticosteroid-induced fluid reabsorption at birth through GR rather than MR, but suggest that MR contributes effects facilitating lung inflation with the first breaths via nonclassical mechanisms. 4 sets of twin sheep fetuses at approximately 130d gestation (term is 147d) were used. One twin was infused with 0.2 mg aldosterone for 48 h, the other received vehicle.

Gene Array Data from p0 Mouse pup; ascending and descending aortas; fibulin-4 knockout and control

Project description:Fibulin-4 plays an essential role in elastic fiber formation, though it's exact function is unclear. Mice lacking the fibulin-4 gene develop cutis laxa with thoracic aortic aneurysms and have narrowed descending aortic diamaters, dying shortly after birth. Another model that disrupt elastic fiber formation, elastin gene knockeds, are also perinatally lethal and have narrowed descending aortas but do not develop thoracic aneurysms. We hypothesized that there may be altered gene expression to explain the altered anatomy based on aortic tissue location we observed, which may provide therapeutic target(s) Ascending and descending aortas of p0 mouse pups were dissected, pooled in groups of eight, and homogenized to isolate RNA and we used microarrays on the pooled samples to identify genes that had expression significantly changed.

Global gene expression analysis of human colorectal cancer tissue

Project description:Generally, cancer tissue is palpated as a hard mass. On the other hand, it is not clear the nature of elasticity in cancer tissue. The aim in this study is to evaluate clinical utility of measuring elastic module in colorectal cancer tissue. Using a tactile sensor, we measured the elastic module of 106 surgically resected colorectal cancer tissues. The data of the elastic module were compared with the clinicopathological findings including stromal features represented by azan and α-SMA positive area ratio in tumor area. Finally cDNA microarray profile of the tumor with high elastic module was compared with that with low elastic module Higher elastic module in tumor was associated with pathological T-, N- and M-Stage (p < 0.001, p = 0.001 and p = 0.011, respectively). Patients with high elastic module showed shorter disease free survival than patients with low elastic module. The elastic module showed strongly positive correlation with azan positive area ratio (r = 0.908) and α-SMA positive area ratio (r = 0.921). Finally, the cDNA microarray data of the tumor with high elastic module revealed distinct gene expression profile from that with low elastic module. Assessment of elasticity of colorectal cancer tissue can be available for more accurate clinical stage or prognosis estimation. Distinct phenotypical feature of the high elastic module tumor and their strong association with stromal feature seemed to be suggesting the existence of biological mechanism involved in this phenomenon, which may contribute to the future therapy. We selected four samples from the highest and the lowest EM with RIN > 6.0 measured with a 2100 Bioanalyzer (Aligent Tochnologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) and with stage II (pTNM pathologic classification). We excluded one sample in each group because of high GAPDH.

Comparative gene array analyses of severe elastic fiber defects in late embryonic and newborn mouse aorta

Project description:Elastic fibers provide reversible elasticity to the large arteries and are assembled during development when hemodynamic forces are increasing. Mutations in elastic fiber genes are associated with cardiovascular disease. Mice lacking expression of the elastic fiber genes elastin (Eln-/-), fibulin-4 (Efemp2-/-), or lysyl oxidase (Lox-/-) die at birth with severe cardiovascular malformations. All three genetic knockout models have elastic fiber defects, aortic wall thickening, and arterial tortuosity. However, Eln-/- mice develop arterial stenoses, while Efemp2-/- and Lox-/- mice develop ascending aortic aneurysms. We performed comparative gene array analyses of these three genetic models for two vascular locations and developmental stages to determine differentially expressed genes and pathways that may explain the common and divergent phenotypes. We first examined arterial morphology and wall structure in newborn mice to confirm that the lack of elastin, fibulin-4, or lysyl oxidase expression provided the expected phenotypes. We then compared gene expression levels for each genetic model by three-way ANOVA for genotype, vascular location, and developmental stage. We found three genes upregulated by genotype in all three models, Col8a1, Igfbp2, and Thbs1, indicative of a common response to severe elastic fiber defects in developing mouse aorta. Genes that are differentially regulated by vascular location or developmental stage in all three models suggest mechanisms for location or stage specific disease pathology. Comparison of signaling pathways enriched in all three models shows upregulation of integrins and matrix proteins involved in early wound healing, but not of mature matrix molecules such as elastic fiber proteins or fibrillar collagens.
