Project description:NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a transcription factor activated by oxidative stress, induces phase II conjugating or antioxidant enzymes. In the present study, we examined the effect of Nrf2 knockout (Nrf2 KO) on the kidney injury induced by cisplatin using cDNA microarray analyses. A transcriptomic approach enabled us to extract gene clusters which show significantly different mRNA expression patterns between wild type (WT) and Nrf2 KO mice. In the experimental set, WT vehicle (WT-Veh) and WT cisplatin (WT-Cis) groups were included in our previous GEO database (GSE35257) because the two groups were simultaneously shared with Nrf2 KO vehicle (Nrf2 KO-Veh) and Nrf2 KO cisplatin (Nrf2 KO-Cis) groups in the current report.

WT and Nrf2 KO C57BL/6 mice (9 weeks old, male) were intraperitoneally injected with vehicle (saline) or a single dose of cisplatin (15 mg/kg body weight). The cDNA microarray experiments were done for the kidney of mice 3 days after treatment. Three animals were used per group. WT-Veh and WT-Cis groups were already deposited in GSE35257.

Project description:Cisplatin, a utilized anticancer drug in clinical practice, induces sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in patients. However, the precise mechanism underlying cisplatin-associated ototoxicity remains unknown. HEI-OC1 cells are immortalized cells derived from the organs of Corti mice and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) knockout (KO) significantly enhances cisplatin resistance in these cells. The exploration of transcriptomic data from Nrf2 KO has significant implications for the identification of novel targets to enhance HEI-OC1 cisplatin resistance in Nrf2 KO and for understanding the biological characteristics associated with SNHL. The RNA-seq analysis revealed a significant enrichment of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the Nrf2 KO model within key signaling pathways, including the PI3K-Akt, MAPK, as well as Glutathione metabolism signaling pathways. Notably, expression levels of 17 specific genes were confirmed by RT-qPCR (Real-time Quantitative-PCR). The biomarkers identified in this study may be key to understanding the biological mechanism by which Nrf2 KO strongly increases HEI-OC1 cisplatin resistance, and by targeting the PI3K-Akt, MAPK, Glutathione metabolism signaling pathways provide new ideas for the prevention and treatment of cisplatin-induced SNHL.
Project description:Clinical use of a major cancer chemotherapeutic agent, cisplatin, is restricted to dose-limiting renal toxicity. A transcriptomic approach enabled us to extract putative molecules including Pleckstrin homology-like domain, family A, member-3 (Phlda3) contributing to the renal injury. This study investigated the expression of Phlda3 and its regulatory role in tubular injury induced by cisplatin in vivo and in vitro. Real-time PCR and immunoblot assays confirmed that Phlda3 was highly up-regulated in the kidney of mice after a single dose of cisplatin treatment, which preceded increases in the blood urea nitrogen or serum creatinine levels. Particularly, the level of Phlda3 transcript was substantially increased at an early time than that of kidney injury molecule-1, and remained elevated. The effect of cisplatin or acetaminophen treatment on Phlda3 expression in the liver was minimal. Consistently, treatment of NRK52E, a renal tubular cell line, with cisplatin caused increases in Phlda3 mRNA and protein. Knockdown of Phlda3 reversed the decrease in cell viability by cisplatin, supporting the role of Phlda3 in cell death. Akt phosphorylation initially increased after cisplatin treatment, but decreased thereafter. Cisplatin treatment elicited p53 accumulation via mdm2 repression, inducing its target genes, p21 and cyclin G1. Phlda3 deficiency attenuated a decrease in Akt phosphorylation by cisplatin, and prevented p53 accumulation, supporting the role of Phlda3 for p53-mediated tubular cell death. Other renal toxicants, cyclosporine A and CdCl2, also enhanced Phlda3-dependent cell death. Overall, nephrotoxicants including cisplatin induce Phlda3, which leads to p53-mediated tubular cell death via mdm2 repression caused by Akt inhibition. Since the datasets reported on the effect of cisplatin on the kidney were obtained from animals treated with multiple and relatively high doses of cisplatin, we did our cDNA array analyses day 3 after a single dose of cisplatin administration to mice (i.p., 15 mg/kg) and compared the profiles of kidney microarray data. The transcriptomic approach enabled us to find the putative genes encoding molecules contributing to renal injury. Among those genes represented on the microarray, 33 genes were found to be differentially expressed by cisplatin treatment when a 2-fold change cutoff was used. The regulation of exemplary mRNAs identified in the array analysis was confirmed by qRT-PCR. C57BL/6 mice (9 weeks old) were intraperitoneally injected with a single dose of cisplatin (15 mg/kg body weight) or vehicle (saline). The cDNA microarray experiments were done for the kidney of mice 3 days after treatment. Each group contained 3 males.

Project description:To assess the role of the transcription factor NFE2 related factor 2 like 2 ( Nrf2) in the development of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity and non-alcoholic HFD-induced fatty liver disease, 8 wild type (WT) and 8 Nrf2 knock-out (Nrf2-KO) C57BL6J male mice (obtained from Riken BRC, Tsukuba, Japan and originally developed by Prof. M. Yamamoto) were fed an HFD (60 kcal % fat) for 180 days. Whole genome microarray expression profiling was performed in pooled liver samples of WT and Nrf2-KO mice to identify genes that are differentially expressed between WT and Nrf2-KO mice under the stress conditions of HFD-induced obesity. Liver samples were taken from 8 wild type (WT) and 8 Nrf2 knock-out (Nrf2-KO) male mice on high-fat diet (60 kcal % fat) for 180 days. Total RNA was isolated from pooled liver samples from WT or Nrf2-KO mice to produce 4 samples each using the guanidinium thiocyanate method.
Project description:This study was aimed to investigate the role and underlying mechanism of TRPM2 in cisplatin nephrotoxicity. Cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) model was established in WT and TRPM2-KO mice. The transcriptome profiling of the kidneys of WT and TRPM2-KO mice treated with cisplatin was compared to find differentially expressed gene which may be related to TRPM2 on cisplatin nephrotoxicity.

Project description:Nrf2(A502Y) mutant macrophages Nrf2(AY/AY) macrophages were more susceptible to toxicity of xenobiotics. To confirm preferences of binding sequences of Nrf2 and Nrf2A502Y in vivo, we performed ChIP-Seq analyses using an anti-Nrf2 antibody on the DEM-treated peritoneal macrophages derived from Nrf2+/+ and Nrf2AY/AY mice. Chromatin occupancy of wild type (WT) Nrf2 and Nrf2AY mutant under DEM-treated condition were analyzed by deep sequencing, in triplicate
