Project description:We performed miRNA array analysis from 2 groups (neonatal lung control, neonatal lung after hyperoxia). We used pools of every 100ng of total RNA of three samples for each groups.
Project description:This experiment aimed to investigate the differences in the transcriptional profile of the neurogenic niche regions of mouse pups that were raised in room air verses mouse pups that were exposed to hyperoxia during the neonatal period. Pups were housed in room air or hyperoxia (85% O2) from P0 to P14. Brain tissue (the subventricular zone and the hippocampus) was collected at P14 and 12 months of age. RNA was extracted from the brain tissue and the microarray labelling, hybridization, and scanning was conducted by the Génome Québec Innovation Centre (Montréal, Canada).
Project description:We evaluated the transcriptional changes in the aorta and kidney of 1 year old rats that were exposed to hyperoxia or normoxia in the neonatal period.
Project description:It is unclear why preterm birth increases risk of cardiovascular disease later in life. Studies in mice indicate excess oxygen typically used to treat preterm infants causes pulmonary hypertension, cardiac failure, and shortens lifespan. We previously reported neonatal hyperoxia causes pulmonary hypertension in aged mice as defined pathologically by pulmonary capillary rarefaction, dilation of pulmonary arterioles and veins, right ventricular hypertrophy, and reduced lifespan. These changes were preceded by a pronounced growth inhibition of cardiomyocytes lining the pulmonary vein and extending into the left atria, resulting in diastolic heart failure as the mice aged. To identify transcriptional changes by which hyperoxia suppresses proliferation of these cardiomyocytes, newborn mice were exposed to room air or 100% oxygen between birth and postnatal day 4. RNA was then isolated from atria of 3 room air and 4 hyperoxia-exposed mice and used to probe Affymetrix mouse array 430 versus 2.0
Project description:Preterm infants exposed to supplemental oxygen (hyperoxia) are at risk for developing heart failure later in life. Rodent studies show that exposure to hyperoxia in early postnatal life causes heart failure later in life that resembles heart failure in humans who were born preterm. Neonatal hyperoxia exposure affected the left atrium and left ventricle differently, inhibiting the proliferation and survival of atrial cardiomyocytes while enhancing cardiomyocyte differentiation in the ventricle. In this study, whole genome transcriptomics revealed the left atria of neonatal mice are more responsive to hyperoxia than the left ventricle, with the expression of 4,285 genes affected in the atrium and 1,743 in the ventricle. While hyperoxia activated p53 target genes in both chambers, it caused greater DNA damage, phosphorylation of the DNA damage responsive ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) kinase, mitochondrial stress, and apoptosis in the atrium. In contrast, hyperoxia induced the expression of DNA repair and growth arrest genes in the ventricle. Atrial cells also showed a greater loss of extracellular matrix and superoxide dismutase 3 (SOD3) expression, possibly contributing to the enlargement of the left atrium and reduced velocity of blood flow across the mitral valve seen in hyperoxia exposed mice. Diastolic dysfunction and heart failure in hyperoxia exposed mice may thus stem from its effects on the left atrium, suggesting chamber-specific therapies may be needed to address diastolic dysfunction and heart failure in people who were born preterm.
Project description:To investigate the role of GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis in neonatal lung and retinal injury induced by hyperoxia We performed RNA-seq of lung and retina of newborn rats exposed to hyperoxia for 2 weeks
Project description:Exposure to neonatal hyperoxia is associated with brain injury and poor neurodevelopmental outcomes in preterm infants. Our goal was to determine the pathogenic role of GDMD in hiipocampal in injury in newborn mice
Project description:Akap1 KO and Wt mice were exposed to normoxia or hyperoxia for 48h. Total RNA was extracted from lungs of Wt Normoxia (n=3), Wt hyperoxia (n=3), Akap1 KO (n=3) and Akap1 hyperoxia (n=3) mice. RNA-sequencing was carried out followed by differential expression of genes in the following groups. Wt Normoxia vs Wt Hyperoxia, Akap1 KO Normoxia versus Akap1 KO Hyperoxia, Wt Normoxia versus Akap1 KO Normoxia and Wt Hperoxia versus Akap1 Hyperoxia.
Project description:PURPOSE: Hyperoxia is toxic to photoreceptors, and this toxicity may be important in the progress of retinal dystrophies. This microarray study examines gene expression induced in the C57BL/6J mouse retina by hyperoxia over the 14-day period during which photoreceptors first resist, then succumb to, hyperoxia. METHODS: Young adult C57BL/6J mice were exposed to hyperoxia (75% oxygen) for up to 14 days. On day 0 (control), day 3, day 7, and day 14, retinal RNA was extracted and processed on Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays. Microarray data were analyzed using GCOS Version 1.4 and GeneSpring Version 7.3.1. RESULTS: The overall numbers of hyperoxia-regulated genes increased monotonically with exposure. Within that increase, however, a distinctive temporal pattern was apparent. At 3 days exposure, there was prominent upregulation of genes associated with neuroprotection. By day 14, these early-responsive genes were downregulated, and genes related to cell death were strongly expressed. At day 7, the regulation of these genes was mixed, indicating a possible transition period from stability at day 3 to degeneration at day 14. CONCLUSIONS: Microarray analysis of the response of the retina to prolonged hyperoxia demonstrated a temporal pattern involving early neuroprotection and later cell death, and provided insight into the mechanisms involved in the two phases of response. As hyperoxia is a consistent feature of the late stages of photoreceptor degenerations, understanding the mechanisms of oxygen toxicity may be important therapeutically. 4 timepoints in total, 0d (control), 3d, 7d and 14d and a replicate per timepoint.
