Project description:Inflammatory signals must be regulated and kept in check in order to prevent tissue damage. This is especially true in the cornea, where damage can induce loss of transparency, essential for vision. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are present at the ocular surface and, in addition to being protective against infection, have also been implicated in the pathogenesis of dry eye syndrome, an inflammatory condition that affects millions of individuals in the United States each year.  Therefore, an important area of research is the development of new anti-inflammatory therapeutics that limit aberrant ocular surface inflammation. Vitamin D has been studied for its role in suppressing inflammation in other tissues. In previous studies, we have demonstrated that vitamin D is able to decrease proinflammatory mediators induced by TLRs in human corneal epithelial cells (HCEC). Therefore, the goal of the current study was to examine this mechanism further through an evaluation of vitamin Dâ??s influence on gene expression in two different HCEC cell lines. Microarray comparing SV40-HCEC, human corneal epithelial cells, treated for 6 hours with Vitamin D (1,25D3) and control (0.1% ethanol) Two-condition arrays: SV40-HCEC cells were treated with either 100nM 1,25D3 or 0.1% Ethanol for 6h. Two biological replicates, one per array, with a dye swap (technical replicate).

Project description:Microarray was used to study global gene expression of a cell culture model based on SV40-immortalized human corneal epithelial (iHCE) cells. The gene expression profile of the cell line was compared to the normal human corneal epithelium. Affymetrix HG-U133A GeneChips® were used for microarray experiments and results were validated by performing RT-qPCR for selected genes. iHCE was found to over- and under-express 22 % and 14 % of the annotated genes, respectively. The results of this study suggest that differences between iHCE cells and normal corneal epithelium are substantial and therefore the use of these cells in corneal research should be considered with caution. SV40-immortalized human corneal epithelial (iHCE) cells were cultured on collagen coated permeable supports for one week using standard culture conditions. Subsequently the apical medium was removed and culturing was continued at the air-liquid interface which allows cells to stratify. Trans-epithelial electrical resistance was followed and total RNA was extracted from cultures with resistance > 300 Ω x cm2. RNA was amplified, labeled with biotin, fragmented and hybridized to the HG-U133A GeneChips® (Affymetrix) according to the protocol of the manufacturer. Three separate experiments with samples from three independent culture batches (iHCE1, iHCE2, iHCE3) were performed. The Global gene expression profile of iHCE was compared to previously published human corneal epithelial tissue (GSE5543) data.

Project description:A role for vitamin A in host defense against Mycobacterium tuberculosis has been suggested through epidemiological and in vitro studies; however, the antimicrobial mechanism is unclear. Here, we demonstrate that vitamin A mediates host defense through regulation of cellular cholesterol content. Comparison of monocytes stimulated with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) or 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, the biologically active forms of vitamin A and vitamin D respectively, indicates that ATRA and 1,25D3 induce mechanistically distinct antimicrobial activities. Gene expression profiling reveals that ATRA but not 1,25D3 triggers a lipid metabolism and efflux pathway, including expression of lysosomal lipid transport gene NPC2. ATRA-induced decrease in total cellular cholesterol content, subcellular lipid reorganization, lysosomal acidification and antimicrobial activity are all dependent upon expression of NPC2. Finally, the addition of HIV-protease inhibitors known to inhibit cholesterol efflux, Ritonavir and Nelfinavir, blocked both ATRA-induced cholesterol decrease as well as antimicrobial activity. Taken together, these results suggest that the vitamin A-mediated host defense mechanism against M. tuberculosis requires regulation of cellular cholesterol. Monocytes derived from four independent healthy blood donors that were stimulated with control (CTRL), ATRA or 1,25D3 at 10-8M for 18 hours.

Project description:Purpose. Simian virus 40 (SV40)-immortalized human corneal epithelial (HCE-T) cells have been widely used as an in vitro model of human corneal epithelial cells. To better understand the nature of this cell line, we assessed it for genomic aberrations and cellular heterogeneity. Methods. For the quantitative measurement of genomic aberrations, array based comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) analysis was performed. For identification of cellular heterogeneity, cell morphology, growth kinetics, trans-epithelial electrical resistance and transcriptional efficiency were analyzed. We also carried out real-time PCR and chromosomal fluorescent in situ hybridization (cFISH) against some gained or lost loci in order to assess genomic heterogeneity. To assess differences in the gene expression profiles between HCE-T cells and normal corneal epithelial cells, we collected expressed sequence tags (ESTs) for this cell line. Southern blotting and inverse PCR analyses were used to determine the genomic integration site of the SV40 large T antigen gene (LTAG). Results. Array CGH analysis indicated that the genomic content of HCE-T cells is different from the normal healthy genome. Our results from cellular functional assays, real-time PCR and cFISH strongly showed that HCE-T cells consist of a not insignificant number of heterogeneous cell populations. The genomic integration site of the SV40 large T antigen was at p22.1 of chromosome 9. Conclusions. Our results indicate that HCE-T cells have an altered genomic content and that they are composed of heterogeneous cell populations. This should be considered when conducting experiments or interpreting the results of studies which use this cell line. Keywords: comparative genomic hybridization Genomic DNAs from HCE-T cells, immortalized cell line of human corneal epithelial cells and normal female duploid cells were subjected to array CGH analysis to identify genomic alterations in the HCE-T cells. These DNAs were labeled with Cy5 and Cy3, respectively.

Project description:Most prostate cancers depend on androgen and androgen receptor signaling for their proliferation and development, which underpins the efficacy of antiandrogens as powerful therapeutic agents for prostate cancers. On the other hand, interaction between AR and other nuclear hormone receptors (NRs) such as glucocorticoid receptor in the prostatic cancer or between AR and ER in breast cancers depicts the close association or “crosstalk” of AR with other NRs in terms of the new approach toward the management of hormone-resistant prostate/breast cancers. Along with this line, chemopreventive and antiproliferative action of 1,25(OH)2D3 (abbreviated as 1,25D3), an active metabolite of vitamin D3, during the management of prostate and/or breast cancers has been recently rigorously argued. We found that in its physiological concentration, 25(OH)D3 (abbreviated as 25D3), the precursor metabolite of 1,25D3 and widely-recognized as an inactive vitamin D because of its much weaker binding activity to vitamin D receptor (VDR) compared to 1,25D3, has a gene transcription profile similar to 1,25D3 in some prostate cancers. In this study, we investigated whole genome target gene profiles and intracellular behaviors of VDR after administration of 25D3 or 1,25D3 in prostate cancer LNCaP cells to elucidate the hormonal activity of 25D3. First, we confirmed that LNCaP cells possessed functional 25D3-VDR as well as 1,25D3-VDR signaling systems by qRT-PCR. By immunofluorescent examination of nuclear translocation, western blotting and most importantly, knockdown of CYP27B1 and/or VDR after the introduction of the respective siRNA into these cells, we found that, just like 1,25D3, 10-7 M of 25D3, which is within its uppermost physiological concentrations in the bloodstream, induced VDR nuclear import and robustly activated its target gene such as CYP24A1 in the virtual absence of CYP27B1 expression in LNCaP cells. These results indicate that the unconverted 25D3 alone behaved similarly to 1,25D3 in activating CYP24A1 mRNA expression. Our comprehensive microarray analyses verified the bioactivity of 25D3 and we found that 25D3 target gene profiles largely matched those of 1,25D3, while the presence a small subset of 25D3-, or 1,25D3-specific target genes were not excluded. The concentration of 1,25D3 in the culture media after 25D3 treatment with or without siRNA for CYP27B1 mRNA was below the lower limit of the sensitivity measured by ultrasensitive LC/MS/MS method. These results indicated that 25D3 shares bioactivity with 1,25D3 without conversion to the latter at least in some prostate cancer cells.
