Four mouse strains, known to differ in susceptibility to cerebral malaria upon Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection, were compared: BALB/c and DBA/2 mice are CM-R, while C57BL/6 and CBA/J mice are CM-S.

River Lab, France) and kept in our facilities. Five from each strain were infected by i.p. injection of Plasmodium berghei ANKA. Parasitaemia was monitored daily on blood smear. The CM-S mice developed a neurological syndrome which occured 6 to 7 days after parasite inoculation with a cumulative mortality of 100%. The CM-R mice die during the 3rd or the 4th week of infection, with severe anaemia and hyperparasitaemia. Brains were taken from CM-R and CM-S mice when the CM-S mice develop cerebral malaria. Brains were completely removed and cut in two parts: one part was frozen in RNALater (Qiagen, TM) until RNA extraction using Trizol reagent (Gibco BRL), and the other one was embedded in Tissue Tek (Leica), snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and kept at -80°C until histopathological examination of cryosections. 0.2 ml of chloroform was added to each sample and after vigorous shaking for 15 seconds they were centrifuged at 12,000 × g for 15 minutes at 4°C. The aqueous phase was recovered and 0.5 ml isopropyl alcohol were added. Samples were incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes and centrifuged at 12,000 × g for 10 minutes at 4°C. Pellet was washed with 1 ml 75% ethanol and centrifuged at 7,500 × g for 5 minutes at 4°C. Air-dried pellet was then resuspended in DEPC (diethyl pyrocarbonate) treated sterile distilled water. Two types of 33P-labelled probes were used: the vector probe which is an oligonucleotide sequence common to all spotted PCR products and which allows to determine precisely the amount of target DNA accessible to hybridization in each spot, and the complex probes made from 5 µg of retrotranscribed total RNA.

For vector probe labelling, 1 ml of LBP9 oligo (5' ACTGGCCGTCGTTTTACA 3') was mixed with: 5 µl of 5x Forward Reaction Buffer, 3 µl of g33P ATP, 1 µl of T4 polynucleotide kinase (Invitrogen) and 15 µl of water. After 10 minutes at 37°C, enzyme was heat-inactivated (10 min, 65°C). Unincorporated nucleotides were removed by purification on a G25 column.

For complex probe labelling, 5 µg of total RNA was mixed with 8 µg oligodT(25) and 0.3 ng cytochrome c554 mRNA. Samples were heated at 70°C to remove secondary structure and progressively cooled to 42°C to ensure annealing of oligo(dT) with the poly(A) tail. Then, 17 µl of labeling mix (1 µl RNasin, 6 µl 5x first strand buffer, 2 µl 0.1 M DTT, 0.6 µl of 20 mM (each) dATP dGTP dTTP, 0.6 µl of 120 µM dCTP, 3 µl of alpha-33P-dCTP, 1 µl SuperScript II reverse transcriptase, 2.8 µl water) were added and reverse transcription was performed at 42°C for one hour. To improve reverse transcription, 1 µl SuperScript II reverse transcriptase was subsequently added and reaction was carried on for one hour. RNA was removed by treatment at 68°C for 30 min with 1 µl 1% SDS, 1 µl 0.5 M EDTA and 3 µl 3 M NaOH. After equilibration (15 min at room temperature) samples were neutralized using 10 µl 1 M Tris-HCl and 3 µl 2 N HCl. Next, 2 µg of polyA(80) and 2 µg of mouse COT-1 (Invitrogen) were added and samples were heated at 100°C for 5 min. Volume was then adjusted to 500 µl with hybridization buffer (5x SSC, 5x Denhardt's, 0.5% SDS) and samples were heated for 2 hr 30 at 68°C. Each microarray was hybridized first with the vector probe, then after stripping, with a complex probe made from total RNA.

For the vector probe hybridization, filters were pre-hybridized for 4 hours at 42°C in hybridization buffer containing 100 µg/ml denaturated (10 min at 100°C) herring sperm DNA. 50.000 cpm of the labeled oligonucleotide were added and hybridization was conducted for 10 hours at 42°C. Filters were then washed for 10 min at room temperature and 5 min at 42°C in 2X SSC/0.1% SDS solution. Filters were rinsed in 2X SSC buffer and air-dried before exposure.

The vector probe was then stripped to allow the complex probe hybridization. Filters were washed at 68°C in 2X SSC/0.1% SDS solution for 3 hours. Filters were rinsed in 2X SSC buffer and air-dried before a control exposure.

For the complex probe hybridization, filters were pre-hybridized for 6 hours at 68°C in hybridization buffer containing 100 µg/ml denaturated (10 min at 100°C) herring sperm DNA. Buffer was then removed and filters were hybridized with the labeled samples for 48 hours at 68°C. Filters were then washed at 68°C in 0.1X SSC/0.2% SDS solution for 3 hours. Finally, membranes were rinsed in 2X SSC and air-dried before exposure. After hybridizations and washes, arrays were exposed for 48 hours to phosphor-imaging plates (FUJIFILM), which were then scanned with a FUJI BAS-5000 machine (25 µm resolution, dynamic range: L5/S10000). Hybridization signals were quantified using ArrayGauge software (Fuji Ltd, Tokyo, Japan). After image acquisition, all images were carefully inspected, and spots with overestimated intensities due to neighborhood effects were manually excluded (flagged as "excluded" in the Overshining Status column). The data from 1 sample (CBA/J mouse) indicated a lower hybridization quality, so the sample was omitted from subsequent analyses.
The data were filtered such that only spots with intensities that were two times greater than the median background (median value of empty controls) in either microarray were used in the analysis. The signal intensities were then corrected to take into account the amount of spotted DNA and the variability of experimental conditions. Briefly, complex probe intensity of each spot ("C") was adjusted ("C/V") for the amount of target DNA accessible to hybridization as measured by using vector hybridization ("V"). When "V" intensity of a spot was too weak on a microarray, the corresponding cDNA clone was not considered for this experiment (missing data). Of the 5053 spotted clones, we selected the clones that had detectable expression levels in at least 80% of the experiments (n=2145). Data were log2-transformed and centered relative to the median for each gene and each array using the Cluster software (Eisen, 1998). Unsupervised hierarchical clustering (average linkage clustering using Pearson's uncentered correlation as similarity metric) was applied to the dataset and results were visualized with the Treeview software (Eisen, 1998).
