Project description:We hypothesized that the availability of folate, a soluble B vitamin, would alter the levels of DNA methylation in spermatogenesis with consequences for the sperm epigenome and pregnancy outcomes. We fed male mice with either a folate-deficient or a folate-sufficient diet throughout life. Males fed the folate-deficient diet had offspring with increased birth defects, which included craniofacial and musculoskeletal malformations. These phenotypes corresponded to developmental genes with altered methylation in sperm. To determine if there was transmission of epigenetic effects from sires to offspring, global gene expression levels were assessed in placenta from 18.5 dpc fetuses sired by either a folate-sufficient or folate-deficient male. Gene expression was measured in placenta of 18.5 dpc fetuses sired by either a folate sufficient male (n=4 placentas from different litters and different fathers) or a folate deficient (FD) male (n=4 placentas from different litters and different fathers).

Project description:We performed a systemic study of the poloxamer P-407-induced chronic hyperlipidemia in C57BL/6J mice. Mice were treated 96 days every third day.The poloxamer mostly elevates plasma triglycerides and cholesterol while change of the liver cholesterol is not significant. Experiment Overall Design: A group of 12 mice were administered 0.5 g/kg poloxamer P-407 by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection (poloxamere group), a control group of 4 mice were injected every third day with normal saline. Total RNA from P-407 treated 12 mice has been pooled into 3 biological replicas (Smpl1, Smpl2 and Smpl3). Reference total RNA has been obtained by pooling 4 mice from control group. Each RNA sample has been splitted and hybridised in parallel on cDNA (G4104A) and oligonucleotide (G4120A) mouse microarrays (Agilent Technologies, CA, USA.

Project description:Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) has been widely used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications as a surfactant and stain repellent. PFOS causes liver damage (including liver tumors) in experimental animals, primarily via interaction with PPARa and CAR/PXR. We investigated the involvement of microRNAs (miRNAs) in PFOS-induced hepatotoxicity, and mechanisms involved in abnormal TH homeostasis, in the livers of adult male rats exposed in feed to 50 mg PFOS/kg diet for 28 days. PFOS-treated rats exhibited expected histopathological and clinical chemistry changes. Global gene expression changes were consistent with the involvement of PPARα and CAR/PXR in PFOS-induced effects. Thirty-eight miRNAs were significantly altered. Three members of the miR-200 family were the most increased, while miR-122 and miR-21 were the most decreased, in PFOS-treated relative to control rats. Expression of the miR-23b/27b/24 cluster also decreased in PFOS-treated animals. Pathway analysis of miRNAs and associated gene expression changes demonstrated enrichment of transcripts involved in epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), which is a primary process involved in tumor cell motility and cancer metastasis. Liver expression analysis revealed transcripts that may mediate PFOS effects on thyroid hormone (TH) homeostasis including: activation of the CAR/PXR pathway, phase II/III enzymes, and deiodinase. These changes are consistent with low serum TH due to enhanced metabolic clearance of TH. However, most TH hepatic target genes were not altered in a manner consistent with reduced TH signalling; suggesting that PFOS exposure did not induce functional hypothyroidism. Collectively, PFOS-induced miRNA perturbations were strongly associated with EMT suggesting an important role for miRNAs in PFOS-induced hepatotoxicity. The work also provides novel insights into the effects of PFOS on TH homeostasis. Total RNAs from liver samples (4 animals from each group) were labelled using the miRNA Complete Labelling and Hybridization kit (Agilent Technologies). Labelled RNA was hybridized on 8 X 15K Agilent rat miRNA microarray slides. Arrays were scanned using an Agilent G2505B scanner (5 μm resolution). Agilent Feature Extraction (version 10.7.3.1) was used to acquire the fluorescence intensity of each probe. The quality of the microarray data was evaluated using Agilent Feature Extraction quality control metrics. Data were normalized in R using cyclic-lowess (Bolstad et al., 2003). Ratio-intensity plots, boxplots and cluster analyses were used to identify potential outliers. One control sample failed the quality control tests and was eliminated for subsequent analyses. Statistically significantly altered miRNAs were identified using the methods described above for gene expression.

Project description:Epidemiological studies suggest that a father’s diet can influence offspring health. A proposed mechanism for paternal transmission of environmental information is via the sperm epigenome. The epigenome includes heritable information such as DNA methylation. We hypothesized that the dietary supply of methyl donors would alter epigenetic reprogramming in sperm. This hypothesis was examined by feeding male mice a folate deficient (FD) and folate sufficient (FS) diets and then generating and analyzing DNA methylation profiles of their sperm. C57BL/6 males were fed either the FS or FD diet throughout life (FS, n=32; FD, n=35; 2-3 month old). Pooled gene promoter DNA methylation profiles were generated from the sperm of three FS males and four FD males using the method of MeDIP (Methylated DNA Immunoprecipitation) followed by microarray hybridization.

The work also provides novel insights into the effects of PFOS on TH homeostasis. Four RNA samples from control and four from PFOS treated rats were labelled with Cyanine 5-CTP (Cy5) using Low Input Quick Amp Labelling kits (Agilent Technologies Inc.) following the manufacturer’s instruction. Universal rat reference total RNA (Agilent Technologies Inc.) was labelled with Cyanine 3-CTP (Cy3). Cy5-sample cRNA and Cy3-reference cRNA were hybridized to Agilent G4853A SurePrint G3 Rat GE 8 X 60K microarrays (Agilent Technologies Inc.) at 65°C overnight with Agilent hybridization solution. Slides were washed and scanned on an Agilent G2505B microarray scanner at 5 μm resolution, and the data were acquired with Agilent Feature Extraction software version 10.7.3.1. Microarray data quality was confirmed using Agilent Feature Extraction quality control metrics and in-house metrics (boxplots, cluster analyses, and MA plots to identify poor quality outlier arrays). All samples passed the quality control tests and were used for subsequent analyses.

Project description:New mechanisms-of-action of anthocyanins (ACNs) provided by a red-fleshed apple compared with a white-fleshed apple ACN-poor, and with an ACN-rich extract on the proteome profile of aorta and heart as cardiovascular key tissues were determined. Hypercholesterolemic Wistar rats were separated into the corresponding groups to analyze the proteomic profile of the aorta and heart tissues using nano-liquid chromatography coupled to mass-spectrometry. Red-fleshed apple downregulated CRP, C1QB and CFP related-inflammation. White-fleshed apple reduced C1QB, CFB, CFD, C3, and C9 related to the complement system, reduced MB and CP related to iron metabolism, and increased ME1, PKM, and PC related to energy homeostasis. ACN-rich extract increased FMOD, TAGLN, and CAP1 related to cellular structure and decreased PRKACA, IQGAP1, and HSP90AB1 related to cellular signaling. Red-fleshed apple rich in ACNs suggested an anti-inflammatory effect while white-fleshed apple reduced the complement system protein-related. An apple matrix effect reduced inflammatory proteins regardless their ACN content.

Project description:Thyroid hormones (THs) play a critical role in development and throughout adulthood. THs act through the thyroid receptor (TR), which binds to the TH response element (TRE) to regulate the expression of target genes. Although TH action has been studied for decades, surprisingly few TREs have been well validated and characterized. In this study we used chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by microarray analysis (ChIP-chip) to identify TR-binding sites in juvenile (postnatal day 15) mice liver. Microarray analysis revealed twelve TR-binding sites consistent between all analyzed samples. In silico analysis was carried out to search for moderately conserved classic TRE sequences within these novel binding regions, which led to the identification of six candidate TREs within three binding regions. Luciferase reporter assays confirmed the presence of a TRE in the promoter region of DEAD (Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp) box polypeptide 54 (Ddx54) and thyroid hormone responsive SPOT14 (Thrsp). The TR/retinoid X receptor (RXR) heterodimer and RXR homodiner were shown to bind the promoter region of Ddx54 and drive gene expression in the presence of 9-cis-retinoic acid (9cRA). The promoter region of Thrsp was shown to allow binding of the TR/RXR heterodimer, and both T3 and 9cRA were able to significantly increase luciferase activity. The RXR homodimer was also able to bind the response element in the promoter region of Thrsp and increase luciferase activity. Overall, ChIP-chip analysis revealed a relatively limited number of TR-binding sites in juvenile mouse liver despite previous studies showing that numerous genes can be affected by TH disruption at that developmental stage, suggesting that TH action may also be mediated through other intermediates. Collectively the results provide an important step towards characterizing TR-binding sites and identifying the underlying drivers of TR-gene regulation. Three samples were analyzed (total input and immunoprecipitated for each samples).
