(Submitter supplied) Acute acrolein inhalation in male rats resulted in multi-tissue transcriptomic alterations that were observed through Illumina mRNA sequencing. Specifically, site-specific respiratory expression profile differences were noted between air- and acrolein-exposed groups. Nasal epithelial tissue demonstrated 452 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (310 up-regulated and 142 down-regulated)and lung tissue demonstrated 95 DEGs (80 up-regulated and 15 down-regulated). more...

(Submitter supplied) The microbiome plays a significant role in gut brain communication and is linked to several animal and human diseases. Hypertension is characterized by gut dysbiosis, and this study aimed to determine how the gut microbiome differed between male and female normotensive and hypertensive rodents. WKY is a genetic control for spontaneous hypertensive rats or SHR which is well documented to have elevated blood pressure at approximately 8 to 10 weeks. more...

(Submitter supplied) Before morphological changes at the early stage of hypertension, how overloaded hypertension influences the transcriptomic profile of the left atrium remains unclear, therefore, RNA-sequencing was performed to define the RNA expressing profiles of left atrium in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) as a control group. At the same time, we compared the RNA expressing profiles changes in ARB-treated (valsartan, 30mg/kg/d) and ARNI-treated (sacubitril/valsartan, 60mg/kg/d) SHR to reveal the distinct effects on the left atrium. more...

(Submitter supplied) The role and miRNA expression profile of exosomes in hypertension remain largely unknown, therefore, next generation sequencing was used to define the miRNA expression profile of plasma exosomes in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs), the most widely used animal model of human essential hypertension, and their controls, normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKYs). Results revealed that percentages of miRNA in the total small RNA isolated from WKYs and SHRs were not significantly different. more...

(Submitter supplied) Fear memory regulation is thought to be similar between humans and animals, and the role of stress in altering remote memory is little explored. Since individual variation in stress reactivity exists, should stress alter remote memory, invividuals with differing stress-reactivity would affect it to various degree. We evaluate this question using two strains of rats with differing stress-reactivity. The Fisher 344 (F344) strain is known to have active coping style and represent normal stress-reactivity, while the Wistar–Kyoto (WKY) rat shows passive coping strategies and heightened stress-reactivity. Male animals were exposed contextual fear conditioning (CFC) and four weeks later, chronic restraint stress (CRS) or no stress (NS) was administered for two weeks. Remote memory, immediate stress response to a second CFC, and reinstated fear memory was measured. Both recent and reinstated fear memory were greater in F344s, regardless of the stress status, In contrast, remote memory was attenuated in F344 only, concurring with their increased immediate stress responsive behavior after CRS. To find if this strain-specific response to CRS can be mirrored by transcriptomic changes in the blood, RNA sequencing was carried out. Overlapping differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between NS vs. CRS in the blood of F344 and WKY suggest a convergence of stress-related molecular mechanisms, independent of stress-reactivity. In contrast, DEGs unique to the F344 and the WKY stress responses are divergent in their functionality and networks, beyond that of strain differences in their non-stressed state. These unique DEGs than could be implicated as biomarkers stress-reactivity.

(Submitter supplied) Ozone exposure in SHAM rats resulted in increases and decreases in expression of hundreds of genes in brainstem and hypothalamus relative to air-exposed SHAM rats (303 and 568 genes, respectively). Adrenalectomy in air-exposed rats resulted in few significant transcriptional differences in the brainstem and hypothalamus (~20 genes per tissue). Differentially expressed genes from ozone exposure were enriched for pathways involving hedgehog signaling, responses to alpha-interferon, hypoxia, and mTORC1, among others. more...

(Submitter supplied) Fish oil, olive oil, and coconut oil dietary supplementation have several cardioprotective benefits, but it is not established if they can protect against air pollution-induced adverse effects. We hypothesized that these dietary supplements would attenuate ozone-induced systemic and pulmonary effects. Male Wistar Kyoto rats were fed either a normal diet, or a diet enriched with fish, olive, or coconut oil starting at 4 weeks of age for 8 weeks. more...

(Submitter supplied) Epoxygenases belong to the cytochrome P450 family and they generate epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) known to have anti-inflammatory effects but little is known about their role in macrophage function. By high-throughput sequencing of RNA (RNA-seq) in primary macrophages derived fromrodents and humans, we establish the relative expression of epoxygenases in these cells. Zinc-finger nuclease-mediated targeted gene deletion of the major ratmacrophage epoxygenaseCyp2j4 (orthologue of human CYP2J2),resulted inreduced EET synthesis. more...
