Acute glomerulonephritis can lead to chronic glomerulonephritis or resolve without permanent damage to the kidneys. Differential gene expression was studied in a model of acute and chronic glomerulonephritis to identify factors influencing the course of glomerulonephritis towards healing or chronification. One of the differentially expressed genes was identified as SCL, encoding selenocysteine lyase. Its expression was higher in acute glomerulonephritis and lower in chronic glomerulonephritis. The transcriptional regulation of SCL was studied in vitro in rat mesangial cells (MC). SCL RNA expression increased eight-fold compared to the baseline after stimulation with interleukin-1β (IL-1β) for three hours. Luciferase expression and gel shift experiments revealed an enhancer element between bp −152 and −298 of the SCL 5’-regulatory region, with protein binding to an AP-1 binding site that may be involved in the regulation of SCL-RNA in vivo in an endogenous feedback mechanism to the inflammatory reaction in acute glomerulonephritis, leading to resolution of this disease.
In order to screen differentially expressed genes during caste differentiation induced by pollen, larvae of Apis mellifer ligustica were developed in an incubator under controlled temperature and relative humidity until emergence. Worker bee morphology was induced by addition of water-soluble extracts from pollen in larval diets. After all of the developmental periods, the external characters and developmental degree of ovaries were evaluated to confirm the caste of new adults. Transcripts from larvae of developing queens and workers were profiled by differential-display RT-PCR analysis and differentially expressed fragments were reconfirmed by dot-blot assay. Our results showed that caste differentiation was triggered by the intake of pollen extracts. Six transcript-derived fragments were isolated and three of them are reported for the first time. We conclude that differential display is a feasible approach to identifying differentially expressed genes. The identification of up-regulated caste-differentiation-related genes provided interesting clues about the activation of biochemical steps relevant to this progress.
Long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 FAs) influence meat tenderness, juiciness, and flavor, and are beneficial to human health. The percentage of long-chain n-3 FAs in total FAs is termed the omega-3 index (O3I). It is thus of great interest to favor rising this index in bovine skeletal muscle, to obtain healthier, tastier, and more nutritive meat. This study was aimed to detect transcriptomic variations related to O3I in muscles in 15-month-old males of 4 Spanish cattle breeds raised under the same conditions. Through the analysis of extreme O3I phenotypes, 3 genes of interest (AANAT, UCP2 and AHA1) were identified. AANAT and UCP2 were strongly up-regulated, while AHA1 was repressed in animals with a high 031. Moreover, gene expression differed between GDFS-null animal muscles (tested for nt821del11 and Q204X mutations) and the wild-type muscles for genes GDH1, IGF2R, FADS1, ASPH, and AIM1, all showing down-regulation in Asturiana de los Valles calves with muscle hypertrophy (GDF8-null). This shows that in GDF8-null animals other pathways are used for FA synthesis.
