Project description:Analysis of C2C12 myoblast induced with tetracycline to enhance integrin alpha7 expression. Integrin alpha7 is the major laminin binding integrin in muscle cells. Enhancing its expression has been demonstrated to alleviate pathology in a murine model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Results of this study provide insights into the effects of increasing integirn alpha7 expression on muscle cells and possible side effects associate with enhancing integrin alpha7 in muscle cells. Experiment Overall Design: Triplicate biological smaples for each condition(induced and non-induced) C2C12 myoblast were used.

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to compare the effects of inhaled nicotine on aortic gene expression and the role of the alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (alpha7-nAChR) in mediating the nicotine effects. Methods: WT and alpha7-nAChR knockout (KO) mice at 5-month of age were exposed to nicotine vapor or room air for a total of 12 weeks. Total RNA was extracted from thoracic aortas using RNeasy Plus mini kit followed by library preparation using SMART-Seq v4 Ultra Low Input RNA Kit. Illumina next generation sequencing was performed using the NextSeq 500 system with the high output flow cell (up to 800 M paired end reads). Results: A total of 179 differentially expressed genes (149 upregulated and 30 downregulated, adjusted P-value < 0.1) were found in thoracic aortas from WT mice exposed to nicotine vapor compared to those exposed to room air. In contrast, only 7 non-overlapping genes were found to be differentially expressed in alpha7-nAChR KO mice exposed to nicotine compared to the air controls. Conclusions: Our study suggests that nicotine-induced changes in vascular gene expression is largely mediated by the alpha7-nAChR.

Project description:In urodele amphibians, limb regeneration involves the dedifferentiation of muscle myotubes into single cells that may acquire pluripotent potential. We have employed small molecules (myoseverin and BIO) to attempt to reproduce this behavior in mammalian muscle culture. C2C12 myotubes derived from the C2C12 myoblast cell line were induced to undergo cellularization by myoseverin treatment, which destabilizes tubulin filaments. The GSK-3 inhibitor, BIO, was then used to induce dedifferentiation. Induce neuron formation; the cells were incubated with 250 nM reversine for 48 h, and neural induction media (DMEM/F12 supplemented with N2 (Invitrogen)) and 1.5 uM all-trans retinoic acid for 7 days. C2C12 murine myoblast cell line and 48 h 10 uM BIO treated C2C12 cellulate (derived by 20 M myoseverin treatment for 48 h)

Project description:Aging is accompanied by expression changes in multiple genes and the brain is one of the tissues most vulnerable to aging. Since the alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subunit has been associated with neurodevelopmental disorders and cognitive decline during aging, we hypothesized that its absence might affect gene expression profiles in aged brains. To study whether transcriptional changes occur due to aging, alpha7 deficiency or both, we analyzed whole brain transcriptomes of young (8 week) and aged (2 year) alpha7 deficient and wild-type control mice, using Mouse Genome 430 2.0 microarray. Highly significant expression changes were detected in 47 and 1543 genes (after Bonferroni and FDR correction) in the brains of aged mice compared to young mice, regardless of their genotype. These included genes involved in immune system function and ribosome structure, as well as genes that were previously demonstrated as differentially expressed in aging human brains. Genotype-dependent changes were detected in only 3 genes, Chrna7 which encodes the alpha7 nAChR subunit, and two closely linked genes, likely due to a mouse background effect. Expression changes dependent on age-genotype interaction were detected in 207 genes (with a low significance threshold). Age-dependent differential expression levels were approved in all nine genes that were chosen for validation by real-time RT-PCR. Our results suggest that the robust effect of aging on brain transcription clearly overcomes the almost negligible effect of alpha7 nAChR subunit deletion, and that germline deficiency of this subunit has a minor effect on brain expression profile in aged mice.

Project description:Transgenic overexpression of Galgt2 in the skeletal muscles of mdx mice inhibits the development of disease pathology associated with muscular dystrophy. This is the case both in transgenic mice, where Galgt2 overexpression occurs from embryonic timepoints onward and in mdx mice where Galgt2 is overexpressed in the early postnatal period using Adeno-associated virus (AAV). Here, we use gene expression profiling to compare transcriptional changes resulting from embryonic and postnatal Galgt2 overexpression in mdx skeletal muscle. A surprising number of changes were in genes known to ameliorate muscular dystrophy when overexpressed (agrin, integrin alpha 7, ADAM12, Bcl2) or to cause muscular dystrophy when mutated (collagen VI (alpha1,alpha2), plectin 1, dystroglycan, selenoprotein N1, integrin alpha7, biglycan, dysferlin). Several genes involved in calcium homeostasis were also changed. In Galgt2 transgenic mice, where embryonic overexpression of Galgt2 in skeletal muscles alters neuromuscular development and muscle growth, the number of gene expression changes was vastly greater, however, 14% of genes altered in postnatal AAV-Galgt2 infected mdx muscles were also changed with embryonic overexpression. These experiments suggest that postnatal overexpression of Galgt2 inhibits muscular dystrophy in mdx mice via induction of a group of genes that, in aggregate, can govern membrane stability, membrane repair, calcium homeostasis, and apoptosis.

Experiment Overall Design: Microarrays were done in three groups at a time. 1) Transgenic Overexpression of Galgt2 - comprised to Wild Type (WT), Galgt2 Transgenic (CT), Dystrophin-Deficient (mdx), and Galgt2 Transgenic and Dystrophin-Deficient (CTmdx) each in duplicate 2) AAV-Mediated Galgt2 Gene Delivery in to the mdx gastrocnemius muscle in the postnatal period - comprised of AAVGalgt2 and PBS each in duplicate, and 3) Myoblasts and myotubes - comptised of one sample each of C1C12 myoblasts and myotubes, C2C12 myoblasts and myotubes stably transfected with Galgt2
