Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 Array (rat2302)
Description
We showed that nandrolone attenuated subacute, but not acute, denervation atrophy and upregulation of MAFbx. The present study explored the molecular determinants for this time-dependent effect using microarray analysis to identify genes that were differentially regulated by administration of nandrolone for 7 days beginning either concomitantly with denervation (7 days) or 29 days later (35 days)

Description
The purpose of this study was to determine whether there were differences in gene expression in the hippocampus, a part of the brain involved in memory consolidation, between male mice with age-related memory deficits (SAMP8 mice) and control mice with no age-related memory deficits. The senescence-accelerated mouse (SAMP8) strain exhibits decreased learning and memory and increased amyloid beta peptide (A) accumulation at 12 months compared to 4 months. To detect differences in gene expression in SAMP8 mice, we used a Control mouse that was a 50% cross between SAMP8 and CD-1 mice and which showed no memory deficits (50% SAMP8 mouse). We then compared gene expression in the hippocampus of 4 month and 12 month old SAMP8 and Control mice using Affymetrix gene arrays. At 12 months, but not at 4 months, pathway analysis revealed significant differences in the Long Term Potentiation (LTP) (6 genes), Phosphatidylinositol Signaling (6 genes), and Endocytosis (10 genes) pathways. The changes in LTP included MAPK signaling (N-ras, CREB binding protein, protein phosphatase inhibitor 1) and Ca-dependent signaling (PI receptors 1 and 2 and phospholipase C). Changes in phosphatidylinositol signaling genes suggested altered signaling through PI3-kinase, and Western blotting revealed phosphorylation changes in AKT and 70S6K. Changes in the Endocytosis pathway involved genes related to clathrin-mediated endocytosis (dynamin and clathrin). Endocytosis is required for receptor recycling, is involved in A metabolism, and is regulated by phosphatidylinositol signaling. In summary, these studies demonstrate altered genes expression in three SAMP8 hippocampal pathways associated with memory formation and consolidation. These pathways may provide new therapeutic targets in addition to targeting A metabolism itself.

Description
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of peripheral (IV) administration of APP antisense on hippocampal gene expression as well as on learning and memory as measured by T-maze in adult male mice aged 12 months. The APP antisense treatment reversed learning and memory deficits and altered the expression of 944 hippocampal genes, which are involved in a coordinated set of signaling pathways. Expression and pathway findings were verified at the protein and functional (phosphorylation) levels.

Description
Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes severe bone loss and disrupts connections between higher centers in the central nervous system (CNS) and bone. Muscle contraction elicited by functional electrical stimulation (FES) partially protects against loss of bone but cellular and molecular events by which this occurs are unknown. Here, using a rat model, we characterized effects of 7 days of contraction-induced loading of tibia and fibula due to FES when begun 16 weeks after SCI. SCI reduced tibial and femoral BMD by 12-17% and promoted bone resorption, as indicated by increased serum CTX; SCI-related changes in CTX were reversed by FES. In cultures of bone marrow cell-derived cells, SCI increased the number of osteoclasts and mRNA levels of the several osteoclast differentiation markers; these changes were significantly reversed by FES. The number of osteoblasts was also reduced by SCI as was the ratio of OPG/RANKL mRNAs therein; the unfavorable change in OPG/RANKL ratio was partially reversed by FES. cDNA microarray analysis revealed that alterations in genes involved in signaling through Wnt, FSH/LH, PTH and calcineurin/NFAT pathways may be linked to the favorable action of FES on SCI-induced bone resorption. In particular, SCI increased levels of the Wnt inhibitors DKK1, sFRP2 and SOST in osteoblasts, These effects were completely or partially reversed by FES. Our results demonstrate an anti-bone resorptive activity of acute FES in bone loss after SCI and suggest potential underlying mechanisms, among them involving increased Wnt signaling to cause more favorable ratios of OPG and RANKL for the inhibition of osteoclastogenesis. The present study indicates that the effects of bone reloading on SCI- related bone remodeling occurred independently of the effects of higher CNS centers on bone.

Description
Individuals expressing alpha-1-antitrypsin mutant Z protein accumulate misfolded, mutant protein in the liver and are at risk for liver diseases including cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Transgenic PiZ mice, a model for this liver disease, display similar pathologies to humans, including inflammation, increases in proliferation, autophagy and apoptosis, accumulation of globules and develop fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma with age. Microarrays were used to compare the gene expressions of PiZ mice to wild-type mice in order to identify the pathways that are altered in this disorder.
