Transcriptome responses in the abscission, distal and proximal regions of the flower pedicel during shedding of flower in Euphorbia pulcherrima

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to assess the global transcriptome changes during the shedding of the flower, which normally takes around 6 or 7 days. We selected four time points (from day 0 to day 6) and three different tissues within the flower bud; distal, abscission and proximal zones with three biological replicates. RNA extraction, library prep and paired end sequencing was performed. Our special interest is try to describe the changes in the abscission zone and the two adjacent tissues in order to get a whole picture of the shedding process. We performed a de novo assembly by Trinity and detected the transcripts and expression changes across spatial and temporal comparisons.

Project description:The Hos: HR-1 mouse strain (HR-1) is an autosomal resessive mutant strain which is widely used in pharmacological and dermatological studies in Japan. Although HR-1 mice have been believed to be Hr gene mutants based on their distinctive alopecia phenotype, there are no reports on either the genetic nature of the Hr gene or mechanism of alopecia. The present study clarified that the HR-1 mice carry a C to T transition in the Hr gene, which causes a proline to serin amino acid change in the functional domain of translated HR protein. It is well known that HR plays an important role in hair follicle regression, and loss of HR function triggers distinctive alopecia with the presence of premature apoptosis in the regressing hair follicle. However, the detailed function of HR protein is still uncertain. To clarify the mechanism by which HR dysfunction causes hair loss, here we performed microarray analysis on the mRNA samples obtained from the regressing hair follicles of the homozygous (HrHos / HrHos) and heterozygous (+/HrHos, control) Hr mutant mice using laser capture microdissection. Our results showed increased expression of apoptosis-related and cell-cycle-repressive genes and decreased expression of cell-cycle-promoting genes, suggesting inhibition of the cell cycle at G0/G1. These findings strongly suggest that the loss of HR function leads to high expression of cell cycle inhibitors, resulting in the hair loss with premature apoptosis in the hair matrix. Experiment Overall Design: Homozygous (HrHos / HrHos) and heterozygous (+/HrHos) Hr mutant mice of the same N1 littermates obtained from a male Hos: HR-1 mouse and a female heterozygous F1 offspring (+/HrHos) between an HR-1 mouse and an ICR mouse were used at day 14 postpartum. +/HrHos mice were used as controls because the Hr gene mutantion is autosomal recessive and the morphological appearance of +/HrHos is as same as that of wild-type mice. Four samples (two from +/HrHos and two from HrHos / HrHos) were analyzed. All RNA samples were extracted from hair follicles of dorsal skin using Laser capture microdissection.

Project description:Here we tested a hypothesis that epileptogenesis influences expression pattern of genes in the basolateral amygdala that are critical for fear conditioning. Whole genome molecular profiling of basolateral rat amygdala was performed to compare the transcriptome changes underlying fear learning in epileptogenic and control animals. Our analysis revealed that after acquisition of fear conditioning 26 genes were regulated differently in the basolateral amygdala of both groups. Thus, our study provides the first evidence that not only the damage to the neuronal pathways but also altered composition or activity level of molecular machinery responsible for formation of emotional memories within surviving pathways can contribute to impairment in emotional learning in epileptogenic animals. Understanding the function of those genes in emotional learning provides an attractive avenue for identification of novel drug targets for treatment of emotional disorders after epileptogenesis-inducing insult. Experiment Overall Design: Experiment description: Experiment Overall Design: Array: Rat Genome 230-2.0 (Affymetrix). Experiment Overall Design: Samples: 2 biological replicates from 4 experimental groups (control unpaired = CU, CU1, control paired = CP, CP1, epileptogenic unpaired = EU, EU1, epileptogenic paired = EP, EP1). Experiment Overall Design: Animals&model: Amygdala stimulation model (Nissinen et al., 2000): Experiment Overall Design: control (C) animals = operated, not stimulated; Experiment Overall Design: epileptogenic (E) animals = stimulated, responded with "good" status epilepticus (at least 40HAFDs within first 3h of SE), not expressing spontaneous seizures through the whole study. Experiment Overall Design: All animals received 5 habituation session to the fear conditioning apparatus lasting 10 min, starting on day 5 (2 sessions on day 5 and 6 and 1 session on day 7) after stimulation (induction of SE). Experiment Overall Design: On 8th day after stimulation: Experiment Overall Design: unpaired (U) = twice received: 2min in apparatus â footshock (1.5mA, 1s)â tone (75dB for 20 sec) Experiment Overall Design: paired (P) = twice received: 2min in apparatus â tone (75dB for 20 sec) co-terminated by footshock (1.5mA, 1s). Experiment Overall Design: RNA isolation: decapitation â ipsilateral temporal lobe isolated, embed in OCT and frozen in -70C. Cut into 10Âµm sections, thionin stained (Ambion protocol), basal and lateral nuclei of the amygdala laser-microdissected; total cellular RNA isolated with PicoPure RNA isolation kit (Arcturus). Experiment Overall Design: RNA amplification: 30ng of of total cellular RNA from each rat underwent of 2 rounds of amplification using MessageAmp II aRNA kit (Ambion), according to manufacturer protocol (in vitro transcription time 14h in both rounds). Experiment Overall Design: Sample pooling: aRNA from 2 animals was pooled (10Âµg in total = 2x5Âµg) and 8 samples were labeled and hybridized: CP, CP1, CU, CU1, EP, EP1, EU, EU1; (altogether aRNA from 16 rats was used).
