Gene expression profiling in Salmonella Typhimurium encountered with heterophils

ABSTRACT: To study the pathogenicity of Salmonella Typhimurium (ST) in heterophils, a whole Salmonella genome array was used to analyze RNA isolated from Salmonella in vitro encountered with heterophils (30 min, 1 h, 2 h, and 3 h) or medium control (NS). Dual-color, direct comparisons were carried out between heterophils-encountered ST and non-encountered controls (30 min vs. NS (30M/NS), 1 h vs. NS (1HR/NS), 2 h vs. NS (2HR/NS) and 3 h vs. NS (3HR/NS)). Each comparison includes four biological replicates. Out of 4588 genes on an array, there were 605, 758, 944 and 945 genes differentially expressed in the comparisons of 30M/NS, 1HR/NS, 2HR/NS and 3HR/NS, respectively (P < 0.001, fold-change > 2). Most of the Salmonella genes associated with invasion function were found differentially expressed at 2HR/NS and 3HR/NS comparisons. These candidate genes include TypeIII-secreted protein effector sopE2, Invasion proteins (e.g. invA, invE, invG, invH), and Invasion genes tranction activator hilA. The results of continuous transcriptional changes provide important information to elucidate the pathogenicity of ST in heterophils. Dual-color, common reference comparisons were carried out between heterophils-encountered ST and non-encountered controls (30 min vs. NS (30M/NS), 1 h vs. NS (1HR/NS), 2 h vs. NS (2HR/NS) and 3 h vs. NS (3HR/NS)). Four biological replicates, with dye swap labeling, were included in each of comparisons. Background subtracted signal intensity were collected from 16 arrays and normalized before data analysis.

Project description:We conducted a genome-wide survey of genes in Ae. aegypti females that are transcriptionally responsive upon challenge with dengue virus (serotype-2). The array was designed with 60-mer oligos specific to 16,092 gene transcripts of gene build AaegL1.1 (www. vectorbase.org). The hybridizations were performed at NimbleGen. We provided total RNA purified from the infected and control samples to NimbleGen. To identify dengue-specific transcription response (DTR) genes of MS and MR females upon infection with DENV2-JAM1409, a total of 15 independent samples (12 test samples and 3 control samples) were used for array hybridizations. These consisted of four DENV2 infected samples (MS-3hr, MR-3hr, MS-18hr and MR-18hr, post-infection, respectively) and a control sample that consisted of RNA isolated at the same time points following uninfected blood meals and pooled across strains and time of sampling. Three independent biological replicates were prepared for each of the above five samples were used for hybridizations. The Ae. aegypti genes responsive to dengue infection were identified in MOYO-S (MS) and MOYO-R (MR) females, upon challenging them with DENV serotype-2, by a genome-wide transcriptome analysis carried out using the NimbleGen oligonucleotide microarray format. We profiled gene expressions of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, strain MOYO-S (MS, susceptible to dengue virus) and MOYO-R (MR, refractory to dengue virus) at 3 hr and 18 hr after infection with dengue virus (seroptype-2). The test samples were prepared in parallel to the control samples. The control samples were derived from females fed with normal blood that was not mixed with dengue (mock infection). The test samples were prepared from females that were fed with blood mixed with dengue virus (infectious meal). A total of 12 test samples were prepared that represented three biological replicates of dengue infected MS females at 3hr and 18 post-infection times; and MR females at 3hr and 18hr post-infection times. The test samples were compared to a common uninfected control that was prepared by pooling equal amount RNA of the individual control of both strains and both post-infection time points (MS at 3hr, MS at 18 hr, MR at 3hr and MR at 18hr). The control-pool strategy ensured us to identify genes that were responsive in response to dengue infection but not due to genetic differences between the two strains or developmental changes between the two post-infection time points. A total of 3 control pools were used in our array expression studies. Control-1 was prepared from RNA isolated from individual controls set up along with each of the test samples (MS at 3hr, MS at 18 hr, MR at 3hr and MR at 18hr) for the first biological replication. Similarly, control-2 was prepared from individual controls set up along with each of the test samples (MS at 3hr, MS at 18 hr, MR at 3hr and MR at 18hr) for the second biological replication. And control-3 was prepared from individual controls set up along with each of the test samples (MS at 3hr, MS at 18 hr, MR at 3hr and MR at 18hr) for the third biological replication. Thus, the three control pools represented three biological replicates corresponding to the three biological replicates of the test samples.

Project description:Environmental reproductive health focuses on the effect of exposure to contaminants considered as endocrine disruptors. Developmental testis is considered as target of these compounds affecting testicular functions in adults and suspected implications in tumor etiology. Comparative analysis of gene expression in mouse testis exposed to five disruptors, three different dosages and three accumulative developmental stages shown defined signature profiles of gene deregulation for MEHP (monoethyl phthalate) and zearalenone (a phytoestrogen) and different to 17β-estradiol exposure. The effects are even detected in postpuberal male offspring from premating exposed mothers. Oxidative stress response, protein ubiquitination and oxidative phosphorylation are the most representative pathways affected. Animal Exposure CD-1 mice were in vivo exposed to several doses of EDs following a defined protocol: mothers were exposed two weeks before mating (exposure A); the same exposure and dose were maintained during pregnancy (exposure B) and four weeks after birth (exposure C). In all exposures, male offspring were sacrificed to obtain the testes. The compounds were administrated in drinking water to a final concentration of: E2(mg/l) BPA(mg/l) Zea(mg/l) MEHP(mg/l) Lindane(mg/l) Dose (1) 0.02 0.5 4 27.85 50 Dose (2) 0.04 50 12 139.17 100 Dose (3) 0.16 200 20 278.34 200 Ethanol was used as vehicle for E2, BPA and Zea and DMSO was for MEHP and Lindane. Control testes were obtained from animals exposed to solvents of EDs: Ethanol and DMSO. Animal care and sacrifice were made following regulations from the CSIC Bioethics Committee. RNA preparation Total RNA from testes of exposed animals and controls was extracted using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen), according to the manufacturer’s standard protocol. RNA samples were spectrophotometrically quantified using NanoDrop (NanoDrop Technologies). To minimize the effect of inter-individual expression variability we made pools of RNA from at least 3 individual RNA samples from each experimental condition (same quantity of total RNA per sample). Pools of RNA were checked for quality performing Experion analysis (Bio-Rad Laboratories). Total RNA from testes of unexposed four weeks old animals was also extracted with the purpose of making pools to assess the variability at the expression level of the mouse strain used (Ctr). Microarray Processing Starting with total RNA from pools described above, full length cDNAs were synthesized from oligo(dT) primers bearing a T7 promoter. These cDNAs were used as template for in vitro transcription by T7-RNA-Polymerase to amplify the mRNAs; following the Amino Allyl MessageAmp™ aRNA Kit (Ambion, Inc.) protocol. The amplified mRNAs (aRNA) were labeled either with Cy3 or Cy5 dyes, using Amersham CyDye Post-Labeling Reactive Dyes (Amersham Biosciences). The incorporated dye was spectrophotometrically quantified using NanoDrop (NanoDrop Technologies). The same dye signal quantities of labeled experimental and control aRNAs were mixed and hybridized to Mouse Oligoset v3 (OPERON) arrays from Genomics facility-University of Cincinnati (USA). The slides contained 31,769 spotted probes (70 mer oligonucleotides) corresponding to 24,878 expressed or predicted mouse genes. Hybridization and washes of microarrays were performed according to Genomics facility-University of Cincinnati instructions. Dye-Swap replicates were performed: one slide hybridized with experimental and control targets labeled with Cy3 and Cy5, respectively; and the second slide with the same type of targets but inversely labeled. Target refers to labeled aRNA while probe refers to the oligonucleotides spotted on the microarray platform. Imaging and data generation were carried out using a GenePix 4000B (Axon Instruments) and associated software from Axon Instruments, Inc. The microarray slides were scanned with dual lasers with wavelength frequencies to excite Cy3 and Cy5. Images were captured in TIFF files. Information extraction for a given spot was based on the median value for the signal pixels minus the median value for the background pixels to produce a gene set data file for all the DNA spots. The Cy3 and Cy5 fluorescence signal intensities were normalized.
