Gene expression response of Populus tremuloides cell suspension cultures to salicyl alcohol feeding

ABSTRACT: Aspen cell cultures were fed 5 mM salicyl alcohol at the early exponential phase (5 days after subculture). Cells were harvested from fed (SL) or unfed (C) cells after 48 hours. Gene expression changes were analyzed using a custom 7K aspen EST array. RNA was extracted from 3 independent control (C) and 3 salicyl alcohol-fed (SL) samples, and one control and one treated sample were randomly paired for hybridization (3 biological replicates). Dye-swap hybridizations were carried out for each pair of samples.

<h4>Background</h4>Phenylpropanoid-derived phenolic glycosides (PGs) and condensed tannins (CTs) comprise large, multi-purpose non-structural carbon sinks in Populus. A negative correlation between PG and CT concentrations has been observed in several studies. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the relationship is not known.<h4>Results</h4>Populus cell cultures produce CTs but not PGs under normal conditions. Feeding salicyl alcohol resulted in accumulation of salicins, the simplest PG, ...[more]

Project description:Aliivibrio salmonicida causes âcold-water vibriosisâ (or âHitra diseaseâ) in fish, including marine-reared Atlantic salmon. During development of the disease the bacterium will encounter macrophages with antibacterial activities such as production of damaging reactive oxygen species (ROS). To defend itself the bacterium will presumably start producing detoxifying enzymes, reducing agents, and proteins involved in DNA and protein repair systems. Even though responses to oxidative stress are well studied for a few model bacteria, little work has been done in general to explain how important groups of pathogens, like members of the Vibrionaceae family, can survive at high levels of ROS. We have used bioinformatic tools and an âomics approach to study how A. salmonicida responds to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). First, we used the recently published genome sequence to predict potential binding sites for OxyR (H2O2 response regulator). The computer-based search identified OxyR sites associated with 20 single genes and 8 operons, and these predictions were compared to experimental data from Northern blot analysis, microarray analysis and 2D gel electrophoresis. In general, OxyR binding site predictions and experimental results are in agreement. Up- and down-regulated genes are distributed among all functional gene categories, but a striking number of â¥2 fold up-regulated genes encode proteins involved in detoxification or DNA protection and repair, are part of reduction systems, or are involved in carbon metabolism and regeneration of NADH/NADPH. Our predictions and âomics data corroborates well with findings from other model bacteria, but also suggest species-specific gene regulation. Two-condition experiment, cells grown in LB medium (control samples) vs. cells grown under oxidative stress (H2O2) (stimulated samples). Samples collected from three different timepoints (15, 30 and 60 min). Technical replicates for each timepoint: 3 control, 3 stimulated, independently grown and harvested. One replicate per array.

Project description:Background: Minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) is considered to be associated with T cell dysfunction, via unknown mechanisms. Experimental observations suggest that some humoral factors alter the permeability of glomerular filtration barrier. However, the nature of such factors remains still uncertain. Methods: Using cDNA microarrays, we performed gene expression profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from three patients with MCNS during nephrosis and remission phases. To confirm the cDNA microarray results, we performed quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analyses in nephrosis and remission samples from 20 MCNS patients and six patients with nephrotic syndrome due to membranous nephropathy. Results: Out of 24,446 genes screened, 33 genes were up-regulated (at least 1.5-fold) in PBMC from these MCNS patients during the nephrosis phase. Up-regulated genes mainly encoded proteins involved in signal transduction and cytokine response. For further examination, we selected two genes encoding provable secretary proteins, chemokine (C-C) ligand 13 (also known as monocyte chemotactic protein-4) (CCL13) and a novel galectin-related protein (HSPC159). The results of RT-PCR showed that expressions of CCL13 and HSPC159 mRNA in nephrosis PBMC samples are higher than those in remission PBMC samples from all 20 MCNS patients examined. On the other hand, these mRNA expression patterns were variable among six patients with membranous nephropathy. Conclusions: We conclude that CCL13 and HSPC159 mRNA expressions in PBMC is up-regulated in MCNS patients during the nephrosis phase. These expression changes in PBMC might be involved in the pathophysiologic processes of MCNS. Using cDNA microarrays, we performed gene expression profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from three patients with MCNS during nephrosis and remission phases. To confirm the cDNA microarray results, we performed quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analyses in nephrosis and remission samples from 20 MCNS patients and six patients with nephrotic syndrome due to membranous nephropathy.
