Project description:To demonstrate the tolerance of mammalian sperm nucleus against extreme environments, mouse spermatozoa were freeze-dried and treated with 95 °C for 1 h or irradiated at over 5 Gy. Although all sperm were ostensibly dead after rehydration, healthy offspring were obtained from recovered sperm nuclei. The normality of those offspring were examined by microarray, and no difference were detected compare to fresh control offspring.

Project description:The zebrafish embryo has repeatedly proved to be a useful model for the analysis of effects by environmental toxicants. This study was performed to investigate if an approach combining mechanism-specific bioassays with microarray techniques can obtain more in-depth insights into the ecotoxicity of complex pollutant mixtures as present, e.g., in freeze-dried whole sediment samples and their corresponding organic extracts in parallel. To this end, altered gene expression was compared to data from established bioassays as well as to results from chemical analysis. Microarray analysis revealed several classes of significantly regulated genes which could to a considerable extent be related to the hazard potential. Results indicate that potential classes of contaminants can be assigned to sediment extracts by both classical biomarker genes and corresponding expression profile analyses of known substances. However, it is difficult to distinguish between specific responses and more universal detoxification of the organism. Additionally, different gene expression was shown to be less influenced by the sampling site than by the method of exposure, which could be attributed to differential bioavailability of contaminants. Microarray analyses were performed with early life stages of zebrafish exposed to sediment extracts or freeze-dried sediment from three sampling sites (Ehingen, Lauchert, Sigmaringen) along the Upper part of the Danube River, Germany. The expression profiles were compared within the sampling sites, between the exposure scheme and to the expression pattern of model toxicants, such as 4-chloroaniline, Cadmium, DDT, TCDD, and Valproic acid (Gene Expression Omnibus Series GSE9357). Additionally, mechanism-specific bioassays and chemical analysis of the sediments have been combined and compared to the present gene expression data.

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study was to determine the microRNA (miRNA) content of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from murine mesenchymal stem cells (mMSC), and evaluate reproducibility among distinct EV productions. We also aimed at assessing the effect of freeze-drying on EV miRNA content, by performing sequencing on freeze-dried EVs and calculating statistical difference between unmodified and freeze-dried EVs. Methods: mMSC-derived EVs were obtained from mMSC in culture in reduced serum medium Opti-MEM by differential centrifugation, with a final step at 100,000 g for 110 min at 4°C. EV pellets (freeze-dried (n=3) or not (n=2)) were resuspended in Qiazol lysis buffer and RNA was extracted following RNeasy Micro kit. cDNA libraries for sequencing were prepared using the TruSeq Small RNA Sample Preparation Kit. Amplified cDNA constructs were purified on 6 % PAGE gel and DNA molecules corresponding to 15–50 nucleotide transcripts were excised, eluted from gel, and concentrated. Image analyses and base calling were performed using the HiSeq Control Software and Real-Time Analysis component (Illumina). Before statistical analysis, genes with less than 15 reads (cumulating all the analysed samples) were filtered out. Differentially expressed miRNA were identified using three Bioconductor packages: edgeR, DESeq and DESeq2. Results: Considering miRNAs detected with at least 5 counts (in terms of normalised counts), 339 miRNAs were identified and miRNA content was highly conserved among the two batches tested, with 237 miRNAs out of the 339 present in both batches (70%). Statistical analysis did not evidence statistical difference between unmodified EVs (n=2) and freeze-dried EVs (n=3) (DESeq2, p<0.05). No statistical difference was found using other Bioconductor packages DESeq and edgeR. These results indicated conservation of miRNA content following freeze-drying. Conclusion: mMSC-EV miRNA content was comparable between the two EV productions analysed, indicating reproducibility. Some of the miRNAs identified were consistent with previously published results on MSC-derived EVs. Freeze-drying conserved miRNA content.

Project description:Understanding individual capability to adjust to protracted confinement and isolation may inform adaptive plasticity and disease vulnerability/resilience, and may have long-term implications for operations requiring prolonged presence in distant and restricted environments. Individual coping depends on many different factors encompassing psychological dispositional traits, endocrine reactivity and their underlying molecular mechanisms (e.g. gene expression). A positive view of self and others (secure attachment style) has been proposed to promote individual resilience under extreme environmental conditions. Here, we tested this hypothesis and investigated the underlying molecular mechanisms in 13 healthy volunteers confined and isolated for 12 months in a research station located 1670 km away from the south geographic pole on the Antarctic Plateau at 3233 m above sea level. Study participants, stratified for attachment style, were characterised longitudinally (before, during and after confinement) for their psychological appraisal of the stressful nature of the expedition, diurnal fluctuations in endocrine stress reactivity, and gene expression profiling (Agilent microarray transcriptomics). Predictably, a secure attachment style was associated with reduced psychological distress and endocrine vulnerability to stress. In addition, while prolonged confinement and isolation remarkably altered overall patterns of gene expression, such alteration was largely reduced in individuals characterized by a secure attachment style. Furthermore, increased resilience was associated with a reduced expression of genes involved in energy metabolism (mitochondrial function and oxidative phosphorylation). Ultimately, our data indicate that a secure attachment style may favour individual resilience in extreme environments and that such resilience can be mapped onto identifiable molecular substrates.
