ABSTRACT: Microarray transcriptional profiling was utilized to observe the global cellular state correlates of the physiological responses to temperature and oxygen changes. We provide evidence for the existence of correlations of Escherichia coli transcriptional responses to temperature and oxygen perturbations-precisely mirroring the co-occurrence of these parameters upon transitions between the outside world and the mammalian gastrointestinal-tract. Keywords: time course Physiological perturbations were carried out under a controlled environment in the context of bioreactor (Bioflo 110, New Brunswick Scientific) growth. Thermoelectric sensors and heaters were used to shift temperature profiles between 25 C and 37 C, and polarographic dissolved oxygen sensors (Mettler Toledo) and nitrogen gas was used to rapidly change oxygen saturation between anaerobic (0% dissolved oxygen) and aerobic (16-21% dissolved oxygen) condition. The cultures were maintained in exponential phase (O.D.600 0.2-0.4) through controlled dilution, where fresh media is pumped in and spent media is pumped out at a controlled rate. Prior to the perturbations, cells were maintained in the pre-transition environment for at least eight generations (8-24 hours). All experiments were performed in duplicate.

The homeostatic framework has dominated our understanding of cellular physiology. We question whether homeostasis alone adequately explains microbial responses to environmental stimuli, and explore the capacity of intracellular networks for predictive behavior in a fashion similar to metazoan nervous systems. We show that in silico biochemical networks, evolving randomly under precisely defined complex habitats, capture the dynamical, multidimensional structure of diverse environments by forming ...[more]

Project description:Adult zebrafish (TÃ¼bingen strain, sex not specified) at approximately 1 year of age were analysed. For experiments conducted under low oxygen conditions, nitrogen gas was bubbled through water to deplete oxygen before exposure of individual fish to the medium. Oxygen concentrations were measured using a dissolved oxygen meter (DO 6+, EUTECH instruments, Singapore). The dissolved oxygen level for hypoxia treatment was measured to be 1.20 Â± 0.6 mg/l, whereas normal ambient oxygen levels were 6.6 Â± 0.45 mg/l. Zebrafish were exposed to the hypoxic medium for 3 hours. Briefly, after each hypoxia trial, the animals were euthanized by hypothermic shock and then decapitated to remove the brain. Total RNA was extracted from samples mentioned above using the QIAGEN RNeasy mini kit (QIAGEN, GmbH, Hilden, Germany) and stored at â??80Â°C before further analysis. RNA concentration was determined with a NanoVueâ?¢ UVâ??vis spectrophotometer (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Fairfield, USA). RNA integrity and quality were then estimated using an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA) and the RNA integrity number (RIN) index was calculated for each sample. Only RNAs with a RIN number >7.0 were processed further. Microarray analysis of gene expression was performed using the Zebrafish Gene 1.0 ST Array (Affymetrix Inc. Santa Clara, CA). Briefly, 300ng of total RNA derived from a single adult brain was converted to amplified sense strand cDNA using the Ambion WT Expression Kit (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA). The resulting sense cDNA was fragmented and Biotin end-labelled using the Affymetrix Genechip WT Terminal Labeling Kit prior to hybridisation to the array at 45 Â°C for 16 hours. Two treatments including hypoxia and normoxia were studied. Each treatment had three biological replicates (i.e. three fish exposed to hypoxia and three fish exposed to normoxia). Six samples were analysed. Microarray analysis of gene expression was performed using the Zebrafish Gene 1.0 ST Array. The signal intensity of the chip was scanned using a GeneChipR Scanner 3000TG and analysed using Expression Console software (www. Affymetrix.com). CEL files were imported and intensities adjusted by RMA background correction and quantile normalization.

Project description:The genome-wide transcriptional responses of the strictly aerobic -proteobacterium Gluconobacter oxydans 621H to oxygen limitation, to the absence of the cytochrome bc1 complex, and to low pH were studied using DNA microarray analyses. Oxygen limitation caused expression changes of 486 genes, representing 20% of the chromosomal genes. Genes with an increased mRNA level included those for terminal oxidases, the cytochrome bc1 complex, transhydrogenase, two alcohol dehydrogenases, heme biosynthesis, PTS proteins, proteins involved in cyclic diGMP synthesis and degradation, two sigma factors, flagella and chemotaxis proteins, several stress proteins, and a putative exporter protein. The downregulated genes comprised those for respiratory dehydrogenases, enzymes of central metabolism, PQQ biosynthesis, outer membrane receptors, Sec proteins, and proteins involved in transcription and translation. A M-NM-^TqrcABC mutant of G. oxydans showed a growth defect during cultivation on mannitol at pH 4 under oxygen saturation. Comparison of the transcriptomes of this mutant versus the wild type under these conditions revealed 51 differentially expressed genes. Interestingly, almost all of the 45 genes with increased expression in the M-NM-^TqrcABC mutant at pH 4 were also upregulated in the wild type grown at pH 6 under oxygen limitation. These results support an active role of the cytochrome bc1 complex in G. oxydans respiration. The transcriptome comparison of G. oxydans wild type at pH 4 versus pH 6 in mannitol medium under oxygen-saturated conditions uncovered only 72 differentially expressed genes. The 35 upregulated genes included those for cytochrome bd oxidase, major polyol dehydrogenase, iron storage and oxidative stress proteins. Among the 37 downregulated genes were some encoding enzymes dealing with carbon dioxide, such as biotin carboxylase, biotin carboxyl carrier protein, and carboanhydrase. These results give first insights into global transcriptional responses of G. oxydans. DNA microarray experiments were repeated independently three times for G. oxydans M-NM-^TqrcABC versus wild type and G. oxydans grown at pH 4 versus pH 6 and four times for G. oxydans grown at oxygen limitation versus pH oxygen saturation in biological replicates.

Project description:The mechanisms by which the placenta adapts to exogenous stimuli to create a stable and healthy environment for the growing fetus are not well known. Low oxygen tension and sub-optimal vitamin D levels influence placental function and both are associated with preeclampsia, a condition associated with altered development of placental trophoblast. We hypothesized that oxygen tension, vitamin D levels, or both affect villous trophoblast by modulation of gene expression through DNA methylation. To test this we used the Illumina Infinium Human Methylation 450 BeadChip array to compare the DNA methylation profile of primary cultures of human cytotrophoblasts and syncytiotrophoblasts under three oxygen tensions and three vitamin D levels. We found no effect on global DNA methylation by either treatment, but a limited set of loci became hypermethylated in cytotrophoblasts exposed for 24 hours to 1% oxygen, as compared to the same cells exposed to 8% or 20% oxygen. Vitamin D levels had no detectable effect on methylation profiles in either trophoblast type. Hypermethylation with low oxygen tension was independently confirmed by bisulfite-pyrosequencing in a subset of functionally important genes including CP, ITGA5, SOD2, XDH and ZNF2. Intriguingly, 70 out of the 147 hypoxia-associated CpGs, overlapped with CpG sites that become hypomethylated upon differentiation of cytotrophoblasts into syncytiotrophoblasts. Furthermore, the preponderance of altered sites was located at AP-1 binding sites. We suggest that AP-1 expression is triggered by hypoxia and interacts with DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) to target methylation at specific sites in the genome, thus causing suppression of the associated genes that are responsible for differentiation of villous cytotrophoblast to syncytiotrophoblast. DNA from 2 cell types from 5 placentas exposed to 3 different conditions of hypoxia (1%,8%,20%) and treated with 3 levels of vitamin D were bisulfite converted and run on the Illumina HumanMethylation450 BeadChip
