Project description:To investigate the effects of NFKB signaling, RNA-seq analysis was performed on both Jurkat and MT-2 cells. It was observed that either NFKB1 or NFKB2 knockout could alter the gene expression profile in MT-2 cells compared to Jurkat cells. Gene expression profiles of NFKB1/NFKB2 knockout Jurkat cells were compared to the mock edited Jurkat cells. On the other hand, it was hypothesized that the gene expression profile of MT-2 cells can be more drastically altered by NFKB1 or NFKB2 knockout. NFKB2 knockout MT-2 cells exhibited a unique gene expression profile compared to those of NFKB1 knockout MT-2 cells and mock edited MT-2 cells.

Project description:The present study was designed using MT knockout mice in concert with genomic approaches to explore the possible molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in the protective effects of MT against DOX cardiotoxicity. MT-Ⅰ/Ⅱ null (MT-/-) mice and corresponding wild-type mice (MT+/+) were administrated with a single dose of DOX (15 mg/kg, i.p.) or an equal volume of saline. Animals were sacrificed on the 4th day after DOX administration and samples were collected for further analyses. Global gene expression profiles of cardiac mRNA from two genotype mice revealed that 381 characteristically MT-responsive genes were identified between MT+/+ mice and MT-/- mice in response to DOX, including fos, ucp3, car3, atf3, map3k6, etc.. Functional analysis implied MAPK signaling pathway, p53 signaling pathway, Jak-STAT signaling pathway, PPAR signaling pathway, Wnt signaling pathway, etc. might be involved to mediate the protection of DOX cardiomyopathy by MT. Results from the present study not only validated the previously reported possible mechanisms of MT protection against DOX toxicity, but also provided new clues into the molecular mechanisms involved in this process.
