Project description:Background and Objective: Currently, the cells for transplantation were derived from either autologous or allogeneic tissue. The former has a drawback that the quality of donor cells could depend on the patient’s condition, and the quantity could also be limited. To solve these problems, we investigated the potential of allogeneic cardiac mesenchymal progenitors (CMPs) derived from postmortem heart, which might be an immunological privileged like bone marrow-derived mesenchymal progenitors. Materials and Methods: We examined whether viable CMPs could be isolated from murine postmortem cardiac tissue that was harvested 24 hours postmortem. After two to three weeks propagation with high dose of basic fibroblast growth factor, we performed the cellular characteristics analyses, which included proliferation and differentiation property flow cytometric analyses, and microarray analyses. Results: Postmortem CMPs had longer lag phase after seeding than CMPs from living tissues, but they demonstrated the similar characteristics in all above examinations. In addition, global gene expression analysis by microarray indicated the similar characteristics between the cell derived from postmortem and living tissue. Conclusion: These results indicate allogeneic postmortem CMPs could have promising potential for cell transplantation as clinical applications, because of circumventing the issue of brain death. The samples were collected fom living or postmortem cardiac tissue (24 hr at 4C). We generated cardiac mesenchymal progenitors (CMPs) from these cardiac tissue, and compared global gene expression by AgilentMouse GE 8x60k Microarray. Adult, or fetal mouse heart RNAs were used as positive control. Adult mouse total heart RNAs were purchased from Clontech. Fetal mouse heart was extracted from fetus which is embryonic day 16.5 C57BL/6 strain. Tg means Transgenic mouse (C57BL/6-Tg(Myh6-EGFP)MG2).
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of mouse cardiac tissue treated with 15mg/kg doxorubicin in 10 ml/kg saline over an acute time course (0.5-120 hours) compared to time matched control animals treated with 10ml/kg saline.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of mouse cardiac tissue treated with 15mg/kg doxorubicin in 10 ml/kg saline over an acute time course (0.5-120 hours) compared to time matched control animals treated with 10ml/kg saline. Two colour microarrays with time matched controls against 15mg/kg doxorubicin cardiac tissue. Time points studied were 0.5, 1, 2, 12, 24 and 120 hours following dosing, biological replicates n=>3 independent animals at each time point, technical replicate n>1 with reverse labelling at each time point. One array printed onto two slides (A and B), one replicate per array.

Project description:we apply and evaluate an integrative mass spectrometry-based tissue profiling strategy that allows for a global quantitative phospho-proteomic survey of normal and disease tissue from human, mouse and OOC-derived specimens. The applicability and utility of this approach was tested in the context of fibrotic cardiac tissue samples from Biowire OOC specimens versus cardiac tissue surgical explants from hypertrophic patients and a transaortic constriction mouse pressure-overload model. Unique attributes and phosphorylation signatures specific to each tissue source were identified, but the results clearly showed that clinically-actionable biological inferences are generated by leveraging commonalities exhibited across the compendium. To validate the application of the cross-platform analytical framework, proof of principle drug testing was performed for selection of anti-fibrotic compounds targeting one of the identified fibrosis-related kinases, GSK3, consistent with a role as a key mediator of fibrosis.
