Overlapping and unique responses of E. coli to adverse conditions

ABSTRACT: In the present study we have determined the global gene expression and biomolecular composition in an Escherichia coli model strain exposed to ten adverse conditions (sodium chloride, ethanol, glycerol, two acids (hydrochloric acid and acetic acid), sodium hydroxide, heat (46Â°C) and cold (15Â°C) as well as ethidium bromide and the disinfectant benzalkonium chloride). The large variation in responses and few common genes illustrates the adaptation potential of E. coli and its ability to survive and colonize a wide range of environments. Keywords: gene expression study, stress response The strain used in this study was the genome-sequenced strain E. coli K-12 MG1655 (1) and the following concentrations/conditions were used; CH3COOH (pH 5.9 Â± 0.05); HCl (pH 4.75 Â± 0.05); NaOH (pH 9.6 Â± 0.05); EtOH (5%); NaCl (4.5%); Glycerol (15%); BC (7 and 9 mg/ml); EtBr (150 mg/ml); 46Â°C; 15Â°C. The cultures were prepared by inoculating one colony from tryptone soya agar (TSA) (Oxoid) (overnight growth at 37Â°C) to 5 ml TSB and incubating overnight at 37Â°C, with shaking (200 rpm). This culture was initially diluted 1:10 in medium and used to inoculate room-temperature TSB for each of the different stress factors (40 ml total volume) to a final concentration of approx. 1X10^7 CFU/ml (1:100 dilution of overnight culture). For cold stress experiment the medium was chilled to 15Â°C prior to inoculation. The cultures were incubated at 37Â°C unless otherwise stated (Table 1), shaking at 200 rpm and samples for global gene expression and biomolecular analyses were collected during exponential growth at a cell density of approx. 1X10^7 CFU/ml. All the stress conditions, including the control, were inoculated with the same overnight culture and started at the same time point. The experiment was performed 3 times at different days and with freshly prepared solutions, resulting in 3 biological replicates. Total RNA was extracted from 1 ml cells using the RNeasy Protect Bacteria Mini Prep kit (Qiagen) as recommended by the manufacturer including the "on-column" DNase treatment. The concentration and purity of the total RNA was analyzed using NanoDrop ND-1000 spectrophotometer (NanoDrop Technologies, Inc.) and the RNA 600 Nano LabChip system (Agilent Technologies). Total RNA (5 ug) and 0.5 ul test/reference Lucidea spike controls RNA (Amersham Biosciences) were reverse transcribed by using random hexamers in the presence of aminoallyl-dUTP (2 aa-dUTP (Ambion): 3 dTTP (Invitrogen)) as described in standard operating procedure no. M007 (The Institute for Genomic Research [TIGR] protocol). The removal of unincorporated aa-dUTP and free amines was performed according to the TIGR protocol using the Qiagen QIAquick PCR purification kit. After drying in a Speed vac, the samples were stored at -20Â°C. Coupling aminoallyl-labeled cDNA to Cy3/Cy5 mono reactive dyes (Amersham Biosciences) was done according to the TIGR protocol. The E. coli microarrays consisted of E. coli oligos (Operon) printed on Corning Ultra GAPS slides as described previously (2, 6, 7). Microarray slides were treated with a pre-soak solution (Promega/Corning) before incubation in a pre-hybridization solution (5XSSC [1XSSC is 0.15 M NaCl plus 0.015 M sodium citrate], 0.1% dodecyl sulfate [SDS], 1 mg/ml bovine serum albumin) at 42Â°C for 30-60 minutes. After pre-hybridization, the slides were washed briefly in distilled water, followed by a brief wash in isopropanol. The dried Cy3- and Cy5-labeled cDNA was resuspended in 55 ul hybridization solution (30% formamide, 5XSSC, 0.1%SDS and 0.1 mg/ml Salmon Sperm DNA), denatured and applied to the prehybridized microarray underneath a 25- by 60-mm mSeries LifterSlip coverslip (Erie Scientific Company). The slides were hybridized at 42Â°C overnight (~16 h). After hybridization the slides were washed twice in 2XSSC buffer with 0.1% SDS at 42Â°C for 5 minutes, followed by two washes in 0.1XSSC buffer with 0.1% SDS for 10 min at room temperature and four washes in 0.1X SSC buffer for 1 minute at room temperature. The slides were dried by centrifugation (90xg for 12 min). The reference used in the microarray experiments was pooled RNA from all the growth conditions including the control. Slides were scanned with the ScanArray Express 1.0 scanner (Packard BioScience) following the manufacturers guidelines. The fluorescent spot intensities were quantified using ImaGene 5.6.1 (BioDiscovery Inc.) software. Background subtraction and normalization (LOWESS (3, 5)) was performed in GeneSpring 7 (Silicon Genetics). (A lowess curve was fit to the log-intensity versus log-ratio plot. 20% of the data was used to calculate the lowess fit at each point. The curve was used to adjust the control value for each measurement. If the control channel was lower than 10 then the value was set to 10). Only data from spots representing E. coli K-12 MG1655 genes were analyzed in our studies. All analyses were based on 3 biological replicates with the exception of the second biological replicate from conditions HCl and NaOH. These two observations were removed due to bad hybridization giving a total of 34 array hybridizations (observations). Genes not present in any of the 34 observations were filtered out, resulting in the analysis of 4279 out of 4289 MG1655 genes on the array. Missing values (data points) were replaced by using the KNNimpute procedure (4) (k=10) on log2 transformed data. 1. Blattner, F. R., G. Plunkett, 3rd, C. A. Bloch, N. T. Perna, V. Burland, M.

Project description:Glioblastoma stem cells (TS-543) were harvested and cross-linked with 1% formaldehyde for 10 mins at room temperature. The cells were lysed using SDS Lysis buffer for ChIP (1% SDS, 10 mM EDTA, 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8). The lysate was then sonicated for 25 cycles at 30% amplitude (15 s ON and 45 s OFF). The sonicated samples were then diluted in ChIP dilution buffer (0.01% SDS, 1% Triton-X-100, 1.2 mM EDTA, 16.7 mM Tris–HCl pH 8, 167 mM NaCl) and used for the immunoprecipitation with H3K27ac (Abcam, Ab4729), H2AZ (Active motive, cat#39113) and H3K27ac (Abcam cat#ab8580). After an over-night incubation with antibody, the bound DNA was washed sequentially with low salt wash buffer (0.1% SDS, 1% Triton X 100, 2 mM EDTA, 20 mM Tris–HCl pH 8, 150 mM NaCl), high salt wash buffer (0.1% SDS, 1% Triton X-100, 2 mM EDTA, 20 mM Tris–HCl pH 8, 500 mM NaCl), LiCl wash buffer (0.25 M LiCl, 1% NP40, 1%deoxycholate, 1 mM EDTA, 10 mM Tris–HCl pH 8) and TE wash buffer (10 mM Tris–HCl pH 8, 1 mM EDTA) to remove non-specific sequences and eluted in the elution buffer (84 mg NaHCO3, 1 ml 10% SDS, 9 ml H2O). Then the samples were reverse cross-linked using NaCl at 65°C overnight. The eluted DNA was purified and used for library preparation. Library preparation was performed as previously described as described in Bowman et al. BMC Genomics 2013. Briefly, end repair with NEBNext End Repair enzyme (NEB, E6050) and clean-up with 2.4x volume AMPure XP beads (Beckman Coulter, A63880). A-tailing with Klenow Fragment (NEB, M0212) and purified with 2.4x volume AMPure XP beads. Adapter ligation reactions contained annealed universal adapter and T4 rapid ligase (NEB, B0202) and clean-up with 1.8x volume AMPure XP beads. Chromatin was amplified using KAPA Real-time Library Amplification Kit (KAPABIOSYSTEMS, KK2701) with universal primer and barcoded primer. Amplified chromatin was purified with QIAquick Gel Extraction Kit (Qiagen) and sequenced paired-end with Illumina NextSeq 500.

Project description:To identify mRNAs associated with human PUM2 protein, we used a modified Ribonucleoprotein-ImmunoPrecipitation Microarray (RIP-Chip) approach on HeLa S3 cancer cells that express PUM2. PUM ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes were captured from cell-free extracts with specific anti PUM2 antibody coupled to protein A sepharose beads, and then eluted with SDS-EDTA. To control for non-specifically enriched RNAs, the same procedure was performed with beads that were not coupled with immunoprecipitating antibodies (mock samples). Total RNA was isolated from cell extracts and immunopurified samples with the mirVanaTM PARISTM kit (Ambion). RNA was quantified with a NanoDrop device (Witeg AG). Poly-adenylated RNAs were amplified in the presence of aminoallyl-UTP with Amino Allyl MessageAmp II aRNA kit (Ambion). For this purpose, 500 ng total RNA from extracts and half (50-100 ng) of the immunopurified RNAs were used for amplification. 8 ug of the amplified RNAs (aaRNA) were fluorescently labeled with NHS-monoester Cy3 and Cy5 dyes (GE HealthSciences), except for mock RNA samples, where an aaRNA amount proportional to the yield obtained from corresponding PUM affinity isolates was used.For PUM2 RIPs, we performed four biological replicates but omitted the dye swaps due to the lower aaRNA obtained after amplification (~10 ug aaRNA from PUM2 RIPs, 9 ug aaRNA from mock RIPs). The Cy3- and Cy5-labeled aaRNA samples were mixed and hybridized to human cDNA microarrays. Detailed methods for microarray experiments are available at http://cmgm.stanford.edu/pbrown/protocols/index.html. cDNA microarrays were produced by the Stanford Functional Genomic Facility and contained 43,197 human probes representing 26,524 Unigene cluster IDs (12,466 ENSEMBL annotated genes) spotted on Corning Ultra GAPS slides. Spotted cDNAs were cross-linked with 65 mJ of UV irradiation on slides, which were then post-processed for 1 hour at 42°C in pre-hybridization solution (5x SSC, 0.1% SDS, 0.1 mg/ml BSA), washed twice in 400 ml of 0.1x SSC for 5 min, dunked in 400 ml ultrapure water for 30 sec, and dried by centrifugation at 550 rpm for 5 min. Slides were used the same day. Cy3- and Cy5-labeled aaRNA probes were mixed and applied to arrays in hybridization solution (3x SSC, 20 ug poly(A) RNA [Invitrogen], 20 ug yeast tRNA [Invitrogen], 20 ug Human Cot-1 DNA [Invitrogen], 20 mM HEPES [pH 7.0] and 0.3% SDS) for 18 h at 65°C. The arrays were then washed sequentially in 400 ml of 2x SSC with 0.1% SDS, 1x SSC, and 0.2x SSC. The first wash was performed for 5 min at 65°C, the subsequent washes were performed for 5 min at RT. The arrays were dried by centrifugation and immediately scanned with an AxonScanner 4200A (Molecular Devices). Data were collected using GENEPIX 5.1 (Molecular Devices). Arrays were normalized computationally by the Stanford Microarray Database (SMD). The data were filtered for signal over background of greater than 1.5 in the channel measuring aaRNA from extract, and only features that met these criteria in > 50% of the arrays were included for further analysis. Log2 median ratios were retrieved and exported into Microsoft Excel. To identify transcripts that were specifically enriched by association with PUM2, we performed two class Significance Analysis of Microarrays (SAM) on median centered arrays. A replicate experimental design type is where a series of replicates are performed to evaluate reproducibility or as a pilot study to determine the appropriate number of replicates for a subsequent experiments.

Project description:MicroPoly(A)Pure kits (Ambion) were used to prepare mRNA from P. salmonis-infected and control Atlantic salmon head kidney. Head kidney mRNA samples were prepared from pooled (n = 10) infected or control kidney. Approximately 200 ng of infected or control head kidney mRNA was used as template in aRNA synthesis reactions. Two infected head kidney samples were pooled to yield 8.9 ug of aRNA, and a single control head kidney sample contained 8.4 ug of aRNA. Infected and control head kidney aRNA samples were visualized on agarose gels to check quality and quantity (data not shown). Except for the amounts of aRNA and reverse transcription (RT) primer used, head kidney target labeling reactions and microarray hybridizations were identical. Head kidney target syntheses used 2 ug of aRNA and 2 ug of random primers (Roche). RT primers were mixed with aRNA samples, and nuclease-free H2O (Invitrogen) was added to make 10 ul total volume. Samples were incubated at 70 degrees C for 4 min, then placed on ice. RT reactions included 50 mM Tris HCl pH 8.3, 75 mM KCl, 3 mM MgCl2, 10 mM DTT, 0.5 mM each dATP, dCTP, and dGTP, 0.2 mM dTTP, 0.05 mM Cy3-dUTP or Cy5-dUTP (Amersham), 40U RNAguard ribonuclease inhibitor (Amersham), and 400U Superscript II Rnase H- reverse transcriptase (Invitrogen). RT reactions were incubated at 42 degrees C for 2.5 h, followed by addition of 0.025U RNase A (Sigma) and 1.5U RNase H (New England BioLabs) and incubation at 37 degrees C for 30 min. Labeled targets were cleaned using the Qiaquick PCR purification kit (Qiagen) and precipitated, with 300 mM sodium acetate, 1 ul of 20 ug/ul glycogen (Invitrogen), and 2.5 volumes of 100% ethanol, at -20 degrees C overnight. Each labeled target was recovered by centrifugation (14,000 rpm, 4 degrees C, 1 h), washed in 70% ethanol, air-dried, and resuspended in 60 ul of hybridization buffer: 50% deionized formamide, 5X SSC, 0.1% SDS, 5 ul of 5 ug/ul oligo dT (5’T18[Q-N]3’), 5 ul of 2 ug/ul BSA (Pierce), and 2 ul of 10 ug/ul sonicated human placental DNA (Sigma). Targets were incubated at 96 degrees C for 3 min, and then at 65 degrees C until applied to microarrays. Microarrays were prepared for hybridization by washing 2 X 5 min in 0.1% SDS, washing 5 X 1 min in MilliQ H2O, immersing 3 min in 95 degrees C MilliQ H2O, and drying by centrifugation (2000 rpm, 5 min, in 50 ml conical tube). Microarray hybridizations were run in the dark under HybriSlips hybridization covers (Grace Biolabs) in slide hybridization chambers (Corning) submerged in a 45 degrees C water bath for 16 h. Coverslips were floated off in 45 degrees C (1X SSC, 0.2% SDS), and arrays were washed 1 X 10 min in 45 degrees C (1X SSC, 0.2% SDS), 3 X 4 min in room temperature (0.1X SSC, 0.1% SDS), and 4 X 4 min in room temperature 0.1X SSC. Slides were dried by centrifugation as before. Fluorescent images of hybridized arrays were acquired immediately at 10 um resolution using ScanArray Express (PerkinElmer). The Cy3 and Cy5 cyanine fluors were excited at 543 nm and 633 nm respectively, and the same laser power (90%) and photomultiplier tube (PMT) settings were used for all slides in a study (PMT 75 Cy3, PMT 63 or 64 Cy5 for head kidney study). Fluorescent intensity data were extracted from TIF images using Imagene 5.5 software (Biodiscovery). Keywords: other

Project description:We have performed the hybridisation in triplicate using total RNA samples pooled from three independent batches of primary cortical neuron culture derived from E14.5 CD1 mouse brains on one day in vitro (1DIV). We stimulated the cells with 50 ng/ml FGF2 in the presence of 10 μg/ml heparin for 4 hours, and the expression of genes were compared to those in the absence of FGF2. The data were obtained from the three experiments with the best possible conditions and strict measures were applied for the purpose of quality control. Seventeen features representing housekeeping genes in the array (GAPDH, HPRT and S16, S9, and S8 ribosomal proteins) gave average value of Ratio of Medians (ROM), 1.20 ± 0.28, which was confirmed to be acceptable. Total RNA was extracted from cells in the growing phase by using RNA Clean (Hybaid) according to the manufacturer’s instruction and further purified with RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen). Direct labelling of 20 µg of total RNA primed with Oligo(dT) was performed in the presence of Cy-5 and Cy-3-dUTP (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) using SuperScript II (Invitrogen). The Cy5- and Cy3-labelled cDNA samples were then mixed and purified with GFX DNA purification kit (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech). The samples were added with 1.2 µg of salmon sperm DNA and 5 µg of Poly(dA) and dried in SpeedVac at 60°C. The high-density glass microarray chips were prepared at the EMBL core facility by spotting the PCR products prepared from the NIA 15k cDNA mouse clone set. Array slides were pre-hybridized in 6x SSC, 0.5% SDS, 1% BSA at 42°C for 1 hour and incubated in a boiled water for 2 min shortly prior to hybridisation. The cDNA samples were resuspended in 15 µl of hybridisation buffer (50% formamide, 6x SSC, 0.5% SDS and 5% Denhardt’s) and denatured by incubating at 95°C for 2 min. Hybridisation was at 42oC for 16 hours. The slides were washed for 10 min each with 2 x SSC, then with 0.5 x SSC, 0.1%SDS, followed by 0.1 x SSC, 0.1%SDS, at room temperature. Scanning was performed with GenePix 4000B (Axon). Quality control was performed, firstly by eye, to confirm scanner alignment and absence of significant bubbles and scratches. Scatter plots were further used to eliminate the unacceptable hybridisation data. The multiple spike-in controls RNA template were added to the sample upon direct labelling, and the successful labelling and hybridisation was confirmed in each hybridisations. GenePix Pro grogram calculates the Normalisation Factor of each hybridisation, based on the premise that the arithmetic mean of the ratios from every feature on the given array should be equal to 1. Normalisation was therefore performed by multiplying the Factor to Ratio of Medians (ROM) in each gene. The program also identifies features that did not give good alignment to the expected spotted area as “flagged” spots, indicative of the impaired-quality hybridisation of the specific genes.

Project description:Male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 250-300 g were purchased from Japan SLC Co. (Shizuoka, Japan). The animals were housed under a daily controlled 12-h light and 12-h dark cycle at 23 °C with free access to rat chow (Japan SLC Co.) and water for 1 week prior to the experiments. Rats were intraperitoneally injected with 75 mg/kg body weight of ANIT (alpha-naphtylisothiocyanate) dissolved in olive oil (7.5 mg/mL). Control animals received an injection of the same volume of olive oil. Groups of three rats were sacrificed under ether anesthesia at 12, 18, 24 hr after ANIT or olive oil administration. At the time of sacrifice, the right lateral liver lobe was removed and flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 °C. Total RNA isolated from frozen livers using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen Co., Carlsbad, CA) was mixed to minimize variation among animals. Poly(A) RNA was purified using Oligotex-dT30 (Takara Shuzo Co., Ltd., Kyoto, Japan) in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. Fluorescence-labeled probes were prepared by reverse transcription using a superscript II reverse transcriptase (Invitrogen Co.) and cyanine-3- and cyanine-5-dUTP (Perkin-Elmer Inc., Wellesley, MA). Poly(A) RNAs derived from rats that has administrated ANIT and from those that has administrated olive oil were labeled with cyanine-5 and cyanine-3, respectively, and vise varsa. Fluorescence-labeled probes were purified using a MinElute PCR Products Purification Kit (Quiagen GmbH, Hilden, Germany) in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. Each purified probe was suspended in hybridization buffer containing 1.6 mg/mL poly(A) (Roche Diagnostics, Basel, Switzerland) and yeast tRNA (Roche Diagnostics), 0.67 mg/mL herring sperm, 16% 20 x SSC and 0.3% SDS and applied to a cDNA microarray containing 1,800 rat genes on a slide glass (Asahi Technoglass Co., Tokyo, Japan). Three house-keeping genes (GAPDH, HPRT and b-actin) and rat unrelated traits (Lambda DNA) were also spotted on the slide as internal positive and negative controls, respectively. Hybridization was carried out twice to eliminate any dye bias. In one experiment, duplicate slides were hybridized with probes derived from rats which were administrated ANIT and control rats that had been labeld with cyanine-3 and cyanine-5, respectively. In a replicate experiment, other duplicate slides were hybridized with probes derived from ANIT-treated and control rats that had been labeled with cyanine-5 and cyanine-3, respectively (color swap). Then, the slides were cover-slipped and incubated in a sealed chamber (Asahi Technoglass Co.) for 16 hrs under a humidified (65 °C) condition. After being washed in low-stringency buffer (2 x SSC and 0.1% SDS), high-stringency buffer (0.2 x SSC and 0.1% SDS) and 0.2 x SSC and then rinsing with 99.5% ethanol, the slide was dried by centrifugation at low speed and used for scanning. Fluorescence was scanned by using a ScanArray 4000 (Packard BioChip Technologies, Billerica, MA) and quantified by using QuantArray Software (Packard BioChip Technologies, Billerica, MA).
