Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.1 ST Array (mogene11st)
Description
Scope: Consumption of industrial trans fatty acids unfavourably alters plasma cholesterol and has been linked to NAFLD. However, the mechanisms underlying these deleterious effects of trans fatty acids are unclear. Here, we aim to investigate the molecular mechanisms of action of industrial trans fatty acids. Methods & Results: Hepa1-6 hepatoma cells were incubated with elaidate, oleate, or palmitate. C57Bl/6 mice were fed diets rich in trans-unsaturated, cis-unsaturated or saturated fatty acids. Transcriptomics analysis of Hepa1-6 cells showed that elaidate but not oleate or palmitate induced expression of genes involved in cholesterol biosynthesis. Induction of cholesterogenesis by elaidate was mediated by increased SREBP2 and dependent on SCAP, yet independent of LXR and UBXD8. Elaidate decreased intracellular free cholesterol levels and repressed the anti-cholesterogenic effect of exogenous cholesterol. In mice, the trans-unsaturated diet increased the ratio of liver to gonadal fat mass, steatosis, hepatic cholesterol levels, ALT activity, and fibrosis markers, suggesting enhanced NAFLD, compared to the cis-unsaturated and saturated diets. Conclusion: Elaidate induces cholesterogenesis in vitro via activation of the SCAP-SREBP axis, likely by lowering intracellular free cholesterol and attenuating cholesterol-dependent repression of SCAP. This pathway potentially underlies the increase in liver cholesterol and NAFLD by industrial trans fatty acids.

Description
The LIM-only protein FHL2 is expressed in SMCs and inhibits SMC-rich lesion formation. However, the underlying mechanism behind FHL2's action in SMCs has been only partially resolved. To further elucidate the role of FHL2 in SMCs we compared the transcriptome of cultured SMCs derived from wild-type (WT) and FHL2-knockout (KO) mice.
Publication Title
LIM-only protein FHL2 is a positive regulator of liver X receptors in smooth muscle cells involved in lipid homeostasis.

Description
Activation of macrophages by inflammatory stimuli leads to reprogramming of mitochondrial metabolism to support the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Hallmarks of this metabolic rewiring are downregulation of a-ketoglutarate formation via isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) and accumulation of glutamine-derived succinate, which enhances the inflammatory response via the activity of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH). Here, we identify the nuclear receptor Nur77 (Nr4a1) as a key regulator of the pro-inflammatory metabolic switch in macrophages. Nur77-deficient macrophages fail to downregulate IDH expression and accumulate higher levels of succinate and other downstream TCA cycle metabolites in response to an inflammatory stimulus. Consequently, these macrophages produce more nitric oxide and pro-inflammatory cytokines in an SDH-dependent manner. In vivo, bone marrow Nur77 deficiency exacerbates atherosclerosis development and leads to increased systemic succinate levels. In conclusion, Nur77 supports an anti-inflammatory metabolic state in macrophages that protects against chronic inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis. Overall design: Gene expression profiling by RNA-seq was performed in triplicate in RAW264.7 mouse macrophage stable cell lines with doxycycline-inducible overexpression of HA-tagged NUR77 or GFP as control.

Description
HepG2 and THP-1 cells, the latter differentiated by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), were co-cultured and characterized for typical liver-specific functions, such as xenobiotic detoxification, lipid and cholesterol metabolism. Furthermore, liver injury-associated pathways, such as inflammation, were studied. In general, the co-cultivation of these cells produced a pro-inflammatory system, as indicated by increased levels of cytokines (IL-8, TGF-α, IL-6, GM-CSF, G-CSF, TGF-β, and hFGF) in the respective supernatant. Increased expression levels of target genes of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), e.g., CYP1A1, CYP1A2 and CYP1B1, were detected, accompanied by the increased enzyme activity of CYP1A1. Moreover, transcriptome analyses indicated a significant upregulation of cholesterol biosynthesis, which could be reduced to baseline levels by lovastatin. In contrast, total de novo lipid synthesis was reduced in co-cultured HepG2 cells. Key events of the adverse outcome pathway (AOP) for fibrosis were activated by the co-cultivation, however, no increase in the concentration of extracellular collagen was detected. This indicates, that AOP should be used with care. In summary, the indirect co-culture of HepG2/THP 1 cells results in an increased release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, an activation of the AHR pathway and an increased enzymatic CYP1A activity.

Description
Klotho functions as an aging suppressor, which, in mice, extends lifespan when overexpressed and accelerates development of aging-like phenotypes when disrupted. Klotho is mainly expressed in brain and kidney and is secreted into the serum and CSF. We have previously shown that Klotho is reduced in brains of old monkeys, rats and mice. We further reported the ability of Klotho to enhance oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination. Here we examined the effects of Klotho on MO3.13, a human oligodendroglioma cell line in order to determine the potential role of Klotho as a tumor suppressor. We show that exogenous Klotho affects the ERK and Akt signaling pathways and decreases the proliferative abilities of MO3.13 cells. Furthermore, microarray analysis of Klotho-treated MO3.13 cells reveals a massive change in gene expression with 80% of the differentially expressed genes being downregulated. Using gene set enrichment analysis we predicted potential transcription factors involved in regulating Klotho-treated MO3.13 cells and found that these cells are highly enriched in the gene sets, that are similarly observed in cancer, cardiovascular disease, stress, aging and hormone-related chemical and genetic perturbations. Since Klotho is downregulated in all brain tumors tested to date, enhancing Klotho has therapeutic potential for treating brain malignancies.

Our study demonstrated that e-cigarettes, both with and without nicotine, induced sex-dependent gene expression change. This RNA-seq study examined the expression profiles of brain frontal cortex samples from mice exposed to classic tobacco flavored bluâ„¢ e-cigarettes during gestation and lactation. Overall design: Brains were extracted and sectioned from ~1-month-old male and female offspring the week following exposure, RNA was isolated and purified from frontal cotrex tissues, and gene expression profiles were analyzed by RNA Sequencing.
