Project description:This is the first publication that assessed the complex molecular changes that underpin acute zinc supplementation-induced changes at the single cell RNA sequencing level in a well-characterised age-related macular degeneration (AMD) cell model. The retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells were allowed to mature for up to 19 weeks, during which time they developed sub-RPE deposits, a hallmark of AMD. Comparing the scRNA-Seq data from cells after two-, nine- and 19 weeks in culture, we identified distinct clusters of cells. Pseudotemporal ordering of the combined gene lists from all time points identified genes implicated in the dynamics of RPE cell differentiation, with enrichment in biologically plausible pathways. Acute (1 week) zinc supplementation (125 µM added zinc) resulted in the differential expression of several genes, including specific transcriptional regulators.

Project description:In the present study, we studied the effect of dietray zinc (Zn) supplementation on the transcriptome profile of lactating ewes. The main objective was to evaluate the effect of Zn-supplementation on the overall transcriptome and the altered pathways and biological processes in lactating ewes. A previously custom-designed oligo microarray platform (GPL20576) was used to profile the transcriptome of 15 ewes at two time points [T0 (before supplementation) and T40 (after 40-days supplementation period; n = 30). The Isolated and purified total RNAs were individually hybridized to the custom (4x44k) DNA microarray. The comparison of control and treated animal transcriptomes revealed a large set of differentially expressed genes. Functional analysis showed several pathways and biological processes that have been altered following Zn-supplementation to the diet.

Project description:Dietary zinc is routinely supplemented to promote growth, boost the immune system, protect against diabetes or aid recovery from diarrhoea. We exploited the zebrafish (Danio rerio) gill as a unique vertebrate ion transporting epithelium model to study the time-dependent regulatory networks of gene-expression leading to homeostatic control during zinc supplementation. This organ forms a conduit for zinc uptake whilst exhibiting conservation of zinc trafficking components. Fish were maintained with zinc supplemented water (4.0 uM) and diet (2023 mg zinc kg-1) or in un-amended water and diet, containing Zn2+ at 0.25 µM and 233 mg zinc kg-1 respectively. Gill tissues were harvested at five time points (8 hours to 14 days) and transcriptome changes analysed in quintuplicate using a 16K microarray. Global transcript levels were measured in zebrafish gills using a oligonucleotide array either zinc-adequate or zinc-supplemented diet. Gill samples were collected at five time points and transcriptome changes analysed in quintuplicate using a 16K oligonucleotide array

Project description:Objective: To determine the oxidative stress during cycles of chemotherapy in patients after surgery for colorectal cancer, with or without oral zinc supplementation. Subjects: Twenty four adults from both genders participated in this study. All patients underwent stage II, III or IV colorectal cancer surgical resection and were starting chemotherapy in HCFMRP- USP. Patients were randomized into two groups. The first one (QTx-Zn Group, n=10) received 70 mg/d of zinc orally and the second one received placebo (QTx-Placebo Group, n=14) for 16 weeks. The study also included 30 healthy volunteers matched for age, gender and socioeconomic status, who received 70 mg/d of zinc supplement (Control-Zn Group, n=21) or placebo (Control-Placebo Group, n=9) for 16 weeks. Methods: The questionnaires about dietary intake (semiquantitative food frequency and food record), fatigue and quality of life (FACIT-F) and questionnaires that assess the side effects of chemotherapy (CTCAE) were evaluated. Anthropometry and bioelectrical impedance measurements were made. Blood collection was performed before the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th cycles of chemotherapy (median duration of 21 days among cicles). Routine laboratory tests, vitamin E and markers anti and pro-oxidants (MDA, SOD, GPx and isoprostane) ere determined. The control group underwent the same procedures, except for chemotherapy. A longitudinal linear mixed effects model was adjusted for each of the variables of interest. The models were fitted using PROC MIXED of SAS version 9 (SAS, CARY, NC, USA). To analyze the association of categorical variables in the different items of the CTCAE, the investigators used the Fisher exact test. Results: The oral zinc supplementation was sufficient to increase plasma levels of zinc and did not alter food intake, body composition and routine laboratory evaluation of patients undergoing chemotherapy for colorectal cancer. Compared with QTx-Placebo Group, QTx-Zn Group showed lower prevalence of complaint on the salivary gland (17 vs. 75%). Fatigue (43 ± 6 vs. 36 ± 13) and quality of life (126 ± 160 vs. 116 ± 27) has become worst in the period between the 1st and 4th cycles of QTx in QTx-Placebo Group. When compared with QTx-Placebo Group, QTx-Zn Group had higher values of SOD before the 1st (2297 ± 503 vs. 1604 ± 352 USOD/g Hb), 2nd (2037 ± 515 vs. 1712 ± 417 USOD/g Hb) and 4th (2202 ± 323 vs. 1821 ± 360 USOD/g Hb) cycles of QTx. GPx values decreased in QTx-Zn Group before the 3rd cycle of QTx (48.5 ± 7.0 vs. 54.3 ± 2.3 mol NADPH/min/gHb). Conclusions: These data suggest that zinc supplementation reduces complaints related to the change in salivary gland, preserving the quality of life and preventing the worsening of fatigue. The increase in SOD can be attributed to zinc supplementation per se, whereas this mineral is a cofactor that endogenous antioxidant enzyme. The highest activity of SOD increases the production of H2O2, whose detoxification involves the participation of GPx, justifying its reduction. There were no changes in plasma levels of vitamin E, MDA and isoprostane during the study period. Considering the values of MDA and isoprostane, the data indicate that regardless of zinc supplementation, the lipid peroxidation of the cell membrane was unchanged during chemotherapy.

Project description:Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE) derived from two human embryonic stem cell lines, H1 and H9, were compared with human fetal RPE (hfRPE) using RNA-seq. Nominally, the transcriptome of H1-derived RPE showed greater overlap with hfRPE. For cells maintained in the medium used to differentiate RPE, 6.2% (H1-RPE) and 4.2% (H9-RPE) of the transcripts were expressed in amounts that were statistically different from hfRPE (false discovery rate: 5%). After adaptation to the serum-free medium, SFM-1, only 1.0 % (H1-RPE) and 1.9% (H9-RPE) were expressed in amounts that were statistically different. For RPE signature genes, statistical differences were observed for 1.0 % (H1-RPE) and 1.9% (H9-RPE) of the transcripts. For some barrier-function related mRNAs the statistical differences were greater than these small differences would predict. For adhesion proteins and plasma membrane transporters, the differences were as great as 6.9% and 4.3%, respectively. After adaptation to SFM-1, the statistical differences between H1- and H9-RPE were only 0.4% for all transcripts, 1.4% for signature genes, and 0.7% for membrane transporters. No statistical differences were observed for the transcripts related to tight junctions, adhesion junctions or ion channels. In summary, SFM-1 promoted the maturation of stem cell-derived RPE, and the statistical difference between two stem cell lines was minimal. RNA sequencing of hfRPE from three fetuses (reference sample) and three independent isolates of RPE derived from the H1, and three from the H9, human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines. The cultures were maintained in a serum-free medium, SFM-1. Comparisons were also made to cultures maintained in the medium used to differentiate the cells, KSR.

Project description:Zinc deficiency during pregnancy and postnatal life can adversely affect the health and predispose to an increased risk of developing human diseases at adulthood. The present study was designed to evaluate whether dietary zinc deficiency or supplementation during the pregnancy, lactation and juvenile stages interferes with the development of mammary tumors induced by 7,12-dimethylbenzanthracene (DMBA) in female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. Pregnant females SD were allocated into three groups: dams received diets containing adequate (35 mg/Kg chow), deficient (3 mg/Kg chow) or supplemented (180 mg/Kg chow) zinc levels during gestational day 10 (GD 10) until the litters weaning. Female offspring were allocated into three groups and received the same diets as their dams until postnatal day (PND) 51. At PND 51, females SD (n=16 each group) received a single dose of DMBA (50 mg/kg, ig) for initiation of mammary carcinogenesis, adequate zinc diets and were euthanized at PND 180. Tumors samples were collected and processed for histological evaluation and microarray analysis. Dietary zinc deficiency induced a significant reduction in female offspring body weight evolution at parturition, weaning and pubertal phases. At late in life, the early in life dietary zinc deficiency or supplementation did not alter the latency, incidence, multiplicity and volume or histological types of mammary tumors in relation to the adequate zinc group, and changed the expression of a small amount of genes. The present findings indicate that early-in life dietary zinc deficiency or supplementation did not significantly modify the susceptibility to development of mammary tumors induced by DMBA.
