Project description:Muscles’ function as an endocrine organ is still poorly understood, but an emerging body of literature has provided evidence that myokines may aid in the development of surrounding tissues. Another outcome of muscle contraction in vivo is the localized mechanical forces produced. Current experimental techniques are not equipped to isolate and study the two effects independently. We have developed a system to culture contractile 2D optogenetic muscle long-term to provide a source for myokine secretion. We supplement our neuron monoculture with myokine secreted media and saw a 3X increase in total neurite length magnitude and a 3.2X increase in the rate of growth. As for mechanical stimulation, we optimize our Magnetic Matrix Actuation (MagMA) to provide localized stressors on the growing neurites. The mechanical stimulation regime results in a ~2.7X increase in both magnitude and rate of total neurite length. We validate our morphological findings with bulk RNA-sequencing analysis, the results show a large number of differentially expressed genes between the biochemical stimulation group and control. On the other hand, there was minimal difference between the mechanical stimulation group and control. Our study mechanistically unravels how repeated muscle contraction, or exercise, regulates motor neuron growth and maturation.

Project description:The fibroblast-populated 3D collagen matrix has been used to study the effect of mechanical stress on cell fate; this process is relevant to the fields of wound healing and tissue engineering. Gene array data was generated from mechanically stressed vs. stress-released matrices. The parameters of the collagen matrix model were: collagen type = bovine type I; collagen concentration = 1.5 mg/mL; initial matrix volume = 0.2 mL; initial matrix diameter = 11 mm (cultured in 24-well plates); cell type = human foreskin fibroblast, passage <10; initial matrix cell concentration = 1,000,000 cell/mL (200,000 cell/matrix); culture medium = 5% FBS in DMEM with 1 M-BM-5g/mL ascorbate. Matrices (n = 6 per experimental group) were incubated for 24 hr in the attached state; the released groups then underwent matrix detachment from the culture plate (defined as t = 0), while the attached groups were left undisturbed. RNA was isolated from attached and released matrices 6 and 24 hr after t = 0. Gene expression in the attached vs. released condition at 6 or 24 hr then was analyzed by hybridizing the anti-sense RNA derived from attached and released matrices at a given time point onto a single chip. Refer to the attached Figure 1 for the experimental design. The index experiment was defined as the comparison of gene expression in attached vs. released collagen matrices in a single strain of human foreskin fibroblasts at 6 and 24 hr after stress-release (i.e., after t = 0). Each experiment utilized two mechanical conditions (attached and released) at two time points (6 and 24 hr). So with each condition utilizing 6 matrices, each index experiment required a total of 24 matrices. In each index experiment, the chip hybridizations were: (i) 6 hr attached vs. 6 hr released, and (ii) 24 hr attached vs. 24 hr released (i.e., two gene chips per index experiment). Each hybridization was done using a 10K spotted gene chip manufactured in the UNMC Microarray Core Facility. The index experiment was performed on three fibroblast strains, meaning that expressional data was derived from three foreskin donors (nonpooled samples). Dye-swap was not performed; dye assigned to attached vs. released remained constant among all chips. Since the index experiment was performed three times, the total number of gene chips used for this entire dataset was six.

Project description:Skeletal integrity in humans and animals is maintained by daily mechanical loading. It has been widely accepted that osteocytes function as mechanosensors. Many biochemical signaling molecules are involved in the response of osteocytes to mechanical stimulation. The aim of this study was to identify genes involved in the translation of mechanical stimuli into bone formation. The four-point bending model was used to induce a single period of mechanical loading (comprising 300 cycles (2 Hz) using a peak magnitude of 60 N) on the right tibia, while the contra lateral left tibia served as control. Six hours after loading, the effects of mechanical loading on gene-expression were determined with microarray analysis. Protein expression of differentially regulated genes was evaluated with immunohistochemistry. Nine genes were found to exhibit a significant differential gene expression in LOAD compared to control. MEPE, Garnl1, V2R2B, and QFG TN1 olfactory receptor were up-regulated, and creatine kinase (muscle form), fibrinogen-B beta-polypeptide, monoamine oxidase A, troponin-C and kinesin light chain-C were down-regulated. Validation with real-time RT-PCR analysis confirmed the up regulation of MEPE and the down-regulation of creatine kinase (muscle form) and troponin-C in the loaded tibia. Immunohistochemistry showed that the increase of MEPE protein expression was already detectable six hours after mechanical loading. In conclusion, these genes probably play a role during translation of mechanical stimuli six hours after mechanical loading. The modulation of MEPE expression may indicate a connection between bone mineralization and bone formation after mechanical stimulation. Two groups: LOAD vs contralateral control and SHAM vs contralateral control (n=5/group)

Project description:Developmental mechanisms play an important role in determining the costs, limits, and evolutionary consequences of phenotypic plasticity. One issue central to these claims is the metaphor of developmental “decoupling,” where alternate morphs result from evolutionarily independent developmental pathways. We test this assumption through a microarray study that explores differences in gene expression between alternate morphs relative to differences between sexes, a classic example of developmental decoupling. We then examine whether morph-biased genes are less conserved, relative to morph-shared genes, as predicted if developmental decoupling relaxes pleiotropic constraints on divergence. We focus on the developing horns and brains of two species of horned beetles with spectacular sexual- and morph-dimorphism in the expression of horns and fighting behavior. We find that patterns of gene expression were as divergent between morphs as they were between sexes. However, overall patterns of gene expression were also highly correlated across morphs and sexes. Morph-biased genes were more evolutionarily divergent, suggesting a role of relaxed pleiotropic constraints or relaxed selection. Together these results suggest that alternate morphs are somewhat developmentally decoupled, and that this decoupling has significant evolutionary consequences. However, alternative morphs may not be as developmentally decoupled as sometimes assumed and such hypotheses of development should be revisited and refined. We compared gene expression in three focal epidermal tissues (head, prothorax, legs) relative to a "control" tissue (dorsal abdominal epidermis) without any outgrowths. We also surveyed gene expression in the brain, relative to ganglionic neural tissue. We compared such patterns of gene expression between two male morphs (horned, fighter and hornless, sneaker males) and between males and females. We focused our array analyses (N = 48 arrays) on Onthophagus taurus (the species for which the array was designed), but also ran 19 arrays on thoracic tissue of Onthophagus nigriventris, a species which expresses thoracic horns as adults (O. taurus expresses head horns). Finally, we included a small subset of arrays (N = 4) directly hybridizing head epidermis tissue of O. taurus male morphs to validate our overall estimates of morph-biased expression.

Project description:Interrogation and control of cellular fate and function using optogenetics is providing revolutionary insights into biology. Optogenetic control of cells is achieved by coupling genetically encoded photoreceptors to cellular effectors and enables unprecedented spatiotemporal control of signaling processes. Here, a fast and reversibly switchable photoreceptor is used to tune the mechanical properties of polymer materials in a fully reversible, wavelength-specific, and dose- and space-controlled manner. By integrating engineered cyanobacterial phytochrome 1 into a polyethylene glycol matrix, hydrogel materials responsive to light in the cell-compatible red/far-red spectrum are synthesized. These materials are applied to study in human mesenchymal stem cells how different mechano-signaling pathways respond to changing mechanical environments, and to control the migration of primary immune cells in 3D. This optogenetics-inspired matrix allows addressing fundamental questions of how cells react to dynamic mechanical environments. Further, remote control of such matrices could create new opportunities for tissue engineering or provide a basis for optically stimulated drug depots.
