Project description:Microgravity is known to affect the organization of the cytoskeleton, cell and nuclear morphology and to elicit differential expression of genes associated with the cytoskeleton, focal adhesions and the extracellular matrix. Although the nucleus is mechanically connected to the cytoskeleton through the LInker of Nucleoskeleton and Cytoskeleton (LINC) complex, the role of this group of proteins in these responses to microgravity has yet to be defined. Therefore, we used simulated microgravity achieved by growing cells on a 3d clinostat to investigate whether the LINC complex acts to mediate responses to the microgravity environment. We show that nuclear shape and differential gene expression are both responsive to simulated microgravity in a LINC-dependent manner and that this response changes with the duration of exposure to simulated microgravity. These LINC-dependent genes likely represent elements normally regulated by the mechanical forces imposed by gravity on Earth.

Project description:To reveal the potential mechanisms involved in the dysfunction of antiviral immune responses under simulated microgravity conditions, we investigated the transcriptional changes related to the status of innate immune responses by RNA-seq with poly I:C or mock PBS treatment under Normal gravity or simulated microgravity conditions. Our results indicate that the retinoic acid inducible gene (RIG)-I-like receptor (RLR) and Toll-like receptor (TLR) signal pathways, which are both involved in the type-I interferon induction, are significantly inhibited by simulated microgravity effects.

Project description:Exposure to microgravity causes bone loss in humans, and the underlying mechanism is believed to be at least partially due to a decrease in bone formation by osteoblasts. Here, we examined the hypothesis that microgravity changes osteoblast gene expression profiles, resulting in bone loss. For this study, we developed an in vitro system that simulates microgravity using the Random Positioning Machine (RPM) to study the effects of microgravity on 2T3 pre-osteoblast cells grown in gas-permeable culture disks. Exposure of 2T3 cells to simulated microgravity using RPM for up to 9 days significantly inhibited alkaline phosphatase activity, recapitulating an expected bone loss response, without altering cell proliferation and shape. Next, we carried out a DNA microarray analysis to determine the gene expression profile of 2T3 cells exposed to 3 days of simulated microgravity. Among 10,000 genes examined with the microarray, 88 were downregulated while 52 were upregulated significantly by simulated microgravity by more than two-fold in comparison to the static 1g condition. By using real-time PCR assays, we verified the microarray data using some of the expected genes. For example, we confirmed that microgravity induced downregulation of alkaline phosphatase, runt related transcription factor 2 (runx2), osteomodulin, and parathyroid hormone 1 receptor, while confirming upregulation of cathepsin K mRNAs. In addition to the changes of the expected genes, the microarray data identified many more genes. The identification of these gravisensitive genes provide an useful insight in generating further hypotheses regarding their roles not only in microgravity-induced bone loss, but also in general population of patients with similar pathologic conditions such as osteoporosis.

Project description:Regenerative life support systems for space crews recycle organic and inorganic waste into water, food and oxygen using different organisms. For instance, the European Space Agency's MELiSSA uses Limnospira indica PCC8005 for air revitalisation and food production. Before use in space, the components' compatibility with reduced gravity must be tested. This innovative study introduces a novel ground analog designed specifically for microgravity experiments involving cyanobacteria, employing a cutting-edge random positioning machine (RPM). Limnospira indica PCC8005 was shown to grow slower under simulated microgravity and whole proteome analysis revealed a downregulation of e.g. ribosomal proteins, glutamine synthase and nitrate uptake transporters while an upregulation was found for gas vesicle proteins, carboxysome proteins and phycobiliproteins. All together our results suggested that L. indica experienced carbon limitation when cultivated in simulated microgravity conditions.

Project description:Microgravity is associated with immunological dysfunction, though the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, using single cell analysis of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC)s exposed to short term (25 hours) simulated microgravity, we characterize altered genes and pathways across immune cells under basal and stimulated states with a Toll like Receptor-7/8 agonist. At basal state, simulated microgravity altered the transcriptional landscape across immune cells, with monocyte subsets showing most pathway changes. Remarkably, short term simulated microgravity was sufficient to increase endogenous retroviral and mycobacterial transcripts. Under stimulation in simulated microgravity, nearly all immune cells demonstrated differences in functional pathways. Results from single cell analysis were validated against additional PBMC samples, including by RNA sequencing and super-resolution microscopy, and against data from the Inspiration-4 (i4) mission, JAXA6 mission, Twins study, and spleens from mice housed on the international space station. Combined results show significant impacts of microgravity on pathways essential for optimal immunity, including the cytoskeleton, interferon signaling, pyroptosis, temperature-shock, nuclear receptors, IL-6 signaling, HIF1α, and sirtuin signaling. Using machine learning, we identified numerous compounds linking microgravity to immune cell transcription, and demonstrate that the flavonol, quercetin, can reverse most abnormal pathways. These results offer insight into maladaptation of the immune system in microgravity, and provide opportunities to develop countermeasures that maintain normal immunity in space.

Project description:Cellular and molecular dynamics of human cells are constantly affected by gravity. Alteration of the gravitational force disturbs the cellular equilibrium, which might modify physiological and molecular characteristics. Nevertheless, biological responses of cancer cells to reduced gravitational force remains obscure. Here, we aimed to comprehend not only transcriptomic patterns but drug responses of colorectal cancer (CRC) under simulated microgravity. We established four organoids directly from CRC patients, and organoids cultured in 3D clinostat were subjected to genome wide expression profiling and drug library screening. Our observations revealed changes in cell morphology and an increase in cell viability under simulated microgravity compared to their static controls. Transcriptomic analysis highlighted a significant dysregulation in the TBC1D3 family of genes. The upregulation of cell proliferation observed under simulated microgravity conditions was further supported by enriched cell cycle processes, as evidenced by the functional clustering of mRNA expressions using cancer hallmark and gene ontology terms. Our drug screening results indicated an enhanced response rate to 5-FU under conditions of simulated microgravity, suggesting potential implications for cancer treatment strategies in simulated microgravity.
