Fat metabolism is also peturbed after the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. Patients have less fat in the liver (4) and increased fasting lipid oxidation (5) compared to controls. Similarly, in a BioBreeding rat model of type 1 diabetes, the diabetes-prone animals develop a reduced respiratory quotient compared to non-diabetic rats before the onset of hyperglycemia, consistent with an increased use of fatty acids relative to carbohydrates as an energy substrate (6).
Longitudinal analysis of hepatic transcriptome and serum metabolome demonstrates altered lipid metabolism following the onset of hyperglycemia in spontaneously diabetic biobreeding rats.

View SamplesNr4a1 deficient rats (Nr4a1-/-) were developed using the fawn hooded hypertensive rat (FHH), which provided a genetic background susceptible to kidney injury. Both groups of animals were evaluated for blood pressure, proteinuria, renal function, and whole transcriptome gene pathway changes. Gene expression profiling was performed at week 8, 16, and 24 using kidney from FHH and Nr4a1-/- rats. To identify differentially expressed gene between FHH and Nr4a1-/- two statistical methods were utilized: (1) FWER (family-wise error rate) procedure, p<0.05 and fold-change 1.2 or greater; and/or (2) Benjamani and Hochberg FDR (false discovery rate) using p<0.05, and fold-change 1.2 or greater. Two-way ANOVA using a p<0.01 or lower was performed to identify strain X time interaction effects between groups. Gene networks and functional analysis were evaluated through the use of Ingenuity Pathways Analysis .

View SamplesIn D. melanogaster males, X chromosome monosomy is compensated by chromosome-wide transcription activation. We found that complete dosage compensation during embryogenesis takes surprisingly long. Although the activating Dosage Compensation Complex (DCC) associates with the chromosome and acetylates histone H4 early, many genes are not compensated. Acetylation levels on gene bodies continue to increase for several hours after gastrulation in parallel with progressive compensation. Constitutive genes are compensated earlier than developmental genes. Remarkably, later compensation correlates with longer distances to DCC binding sites. This time-space relationship suggests that DCC action on target genes requires maturation of the active chromosome compartment. Overall design: RNA-seq in 8 embryonic stages in total 54 single embryos.
Progressive dosage compensation during Drosophila embryogenesis is reflected by gene arrangement.

View SamplesThe aim of this study is to identify genes implicated in the early steps of the autoimmune process, prior to inflammation in type 1 diabetes. Early Insulin AutoAntibodies (E-IAA) have been used as subphenotypic marker to select individual animals as type 1 diabetes prone and to compare gene expression patterns with insulin autoantibody negative NOD.
Early over expression of messenger RNA for multiple genes, including insulin, in the Pancreatic Lymph Nodes of NOD mice is associated with Islet Autoimmunity.

View SamplesIn mammals, resident dermal macrophages (Ms) are subverted by Leishmania (L.) amazonensis amastigotes as host cells permissive for parasite multiplication. These Leishmania are living within a communal parasitophorous vacuole (PV) and are expected to trigger unique M transcriptional signatures. We performed a transcription profiling of mouse Ms harboring amastigotes to get insights into their reprogramming as host cells for parasite multiplication. BALB/c mouse bone marrow-derived Ms were either loaded or not with four amastigotes on average. Twenty four hours later, when amastigotes multiply, total RNA from M cultures was prepared, amplified and hybridized onto Affymetrix Mouse430_2 GeneChips. The outcome recorded a total of 1,248 probe-sets showing significant differential expression. Comparable fold-change values for a handful of genes were obtained between Affymetrix technology and the more sensitive RTqPCR method. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis software pinpointed the up-regulation of the sterol biosynthesis pathway (P-value = 1.31e-02) involving several genes (1.95 to 4.30 fold-change values), and the modulation of various genes involved in polyamine synthesis and in pro/counter-inflammatory signaling. Our findings suggest that amastigotes exploit the M lipid and polyamine pathways to multiply efficiently, and induce a counter-inflammatory environment to expand their dermis niche.
