Laser microdissection of sensory organ precursor cells of Drosophila microchaetes.
PloS one 20100219 2
<h4>Background</h4>In Drosophila, each external sensory organ originates from the division of a unique precursor cell (the sensory organ precursor cell or SOP). Each SOP is specified from a cluster of equivalent cells, called a proneural cluster, all of them competent to become SOP. Although, it is well known how SOP cells are selected from proneural clusters, little is known about the downstream genes that are regulated during SOP fate specification.<h4>Methodology/principal findings</h4>In ord ...[more]

Project description:Teleost fish have the remarkable ability to regenerate their body parts including heart, spinal cord, and the caudal fin, while many higher vertebrates including us humans have only a limited ability. To facilitate molecular and genetic approaches for regeneration, we previously established an assay using the fin fold of early stage larvae, which regenerate their caudal fin folds as in adult regeneration. Here, we performed transcriptional profiling of regenerating larval fin folds and identified genes with differential expression during regeneration. Gene expression profiling of zebrafish larval fin-fold regeneration was performed by comparing amputated fin fold and uncut control. Keywords: Stress response, injury response. Two time points, 18-24 hours post amputation (hpa) and 48 hpa, of regenerating fin fold were analyzed. We performed one replicate per each time point. For microarray expression profiling, total RNA was extracted from regenerating and uncut caudal fin folds of AB strain larvae. Tail tissues of 16-24 hpa, 48 hpa, and uncut siblings of the respective stages including 3-5 posterior somite segments were collected on ice. Total RNA was extracted by using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, California, United States) according to the manufacturerâs instruction. The quantity and quality of total RNA were assessed by absorbance at 260 nm and 280 nm and by gel electrophoresis. Approx. 9 μg of total RNA was recovered from ~250 tail tissues at 16-24 hpa or uncut control tissues; and approx. 5 μg, from ~130 tail tissues at 48 hpa or uncut control tissues. Probes for microarray analysis were labeled with cy3 (amputated fin fold at 16-24 hpa and uncut control at 48 hpa) or cy5 (uncut control at 16-24 hpa and amputated fin fold at 48 hpa), and used for hybridization.

Project description:Background: skeletal muscle is a complex, versatile tissue composed of a variety of functionally diverse fiber types. Although the biochemical, structural and functional properties of myofibers have been the subject of intense investigation for the last decades, understanding molecular processes regulating fiber type diversity is still complicated by the heterogeneity of cell types present in the whole muscle organ. Methodology/Principal Findings: we have produced a first catalogue of genes expressed in mouse slow-oxidative (type 1) and fast-glycolytic (type 2B) fibers through transcriptome analysis at the single fiber level (microgenomics). Individual fibers were obtained from murine soleus and EDL muscles and initially classified by myosin heavy chain isoform content. Gene expression profiling on high density DNA oligonucleotide microarrays showed that both qualitative and quantitative improvements were achieved, compared to results with standard muscle homogenate. First, myofiber profiles were virtually free from non-muscle transcriptional activity. Second, thousands of muscle-specific genes were identified, leading to a better definition of gene signatures in the two fiber types as well as the detection of metabolic and signaling pathways that are differentially activated in specific fiber types. Several regulatory proteins showed preferential expression in slow myofibers. Discriminant analysis revealed novel genes that could be useful for fiber type functional classification. Conclusions/Significance: as gene expression analyses at the single fiber level significantly increased the resolution power, this innovative approach would allow a better understanding of the adaptive transcriptomic transitions occurring in myofibers under physiological and pathological conditions. EDL and soleus muscles were incubated with type I collagenase to dissociate intact myofibres that were separated under stereo microscope from the bulk of hyper contracted fibres. Isolated myofibres were divided in two parts: one was immersed in Laemmli buffer for fibre typing; the other was placed in RNA extraction buffer for RNA amplification. We analyzed the transcription profiles of 10 biological replicas of type 2B single muscle fibres from EDL and 10 biological replicas of type 1 single muscle fibres from soleus. Microarray competitive hybridizations were carried out against an artificial control with a balanced composition of type 1 and type 2B fibres (20 hybridizations). Each oligonucleotide is spotted in two replicates on the glass slide, so for every data two intra-slide replicas are present. The control was created as follows: three couples of soleus and EDL muscles were removed from 3 different mice and treated with collagenase. Total RNA was extracted separately from EDL and soleus muscles. By mixing about 1/3 RNA from EDL and 2/3 RNA from soleus muscles the control had approximately the same contributions of type 1 and type 2B fibres. Purified RNA samples from single fibres and from control were amplified twice using the Amino Allyl MessageAmpM-bM-^DM-" II aRNA Amplification Kit (Ambion).

Project description:Large-scale gene expression affected by salt stress was analyzed with tomato seedlings (Lycoperson esculentum Mill cv. Money Maker) by a cDNA microarray (Tom1). The significantly differentially expressed genes (5% Benjamini-Hochberg false discovery rate) consisted of 1757 sequences in the analyzed tissues (cotyledons + shoot tip). Genes with over 2 fold difference were selected from the list and further categorized into different function and cellular processes. Tomato homologous genes for the chaperone proteins, antioxidant enzymes (catalase and peroxidase), and ion transporters (Na+-driven multidrug efflux pump, vacuolar ATPase, and others) were induced. The ACC oxidase and ethylene-responsive gene tomato homologs had higher transcript level after salt treatment. Multiple members with different expression patterns were identified for the bZIP, WRKY, and MADS-box transcription regulator. Different genes in the signal transduction pathway, such as the protein kinases (Shaggy kinase, mitogen-activated protein kinase, ethylene receptor neverripe, and others), protein phosphatases, calmodulin, G-protein, and the N- myristoyltransferase, were regulated by salt stress. Most of the protease and the inhibitor homologs were suppressed by salt stress. In addition, different isoforms of cytochrome P450, genes for polyamine biosynthesis (putrescine and proline) and detoxification compounds (glutathione and thioredoxin), several key enzyme genes in the metabolic pathways of carbohydrates, amino acids, and fatty acids, were also affected by salt treatment. This study has provided a set of candidate genes, especially those in the regulatory machinery that can be further investigated to define salt stress in tomato and other plant species. Keywords: treatment response Effect of 75mM NaCl on gene’s expression in tomato seedlings, Lycoperscon esculentum Mill. cv. Money Maker after 17 d of treatment. Each sample represents a pool of same tissue 20 seedlings grown in two flasks. Experiment was done in triplicate.

Project description:Binding of transcription factors to DNA is a key regulatory step in the control of gene expression. DNA sequences with high affinity for transcription factors occur more frequently in the genome than instances of genes bound or regulated by these factors. How specific gene regulation is achieved by transcription factors remains unclear. We used genome-wide approaches to study how trans factors shape the binding and regulatory landscape of Pho4, a budding yeast transcription factor that activates gene expression in response to phosphate limitation. In no phosphate (0mM phosphate) medium, Pho4 is transported into the nucleus and activates transcription of a set of genes (PHO) that are necessary for cell survival in phosphate limited environment. In high phosphate (10mM phosphate) medium, Pho4 is transported outside of the nucleus and the transcription program of PHO genes are turned off. Here we examined the transcription profiling of S. cerevisiae (W303) in various strains treated in media with 10mM or 0mM inorganic phosphate, to study the the transcription activation by Pho4 its cooperative binding factor Pho2, and its competitive binding factor Cbf1. (I) To infer how much Pho4 itself, Pho2 itself, and the interaction between Pho2 and Pho4 contribute to transcriptional activation in response to Pi starvation, we applied mutant cycle analysis to compare wild type, pho2Δ, pho4Δ and pho2Δ pho4Δ strains in both 10 mM and 0 mM Pi conditions. Mutant cycle analysis is a cyclic comparison among all various mutants. For example, by comparing pho2Δ and pho2Δ pho4Δ, we can directly infer the contribution from Pho4 alone to gene activation. And by comparing wild type and pho2Δ, we can infer the contribution from Pho2 alone together with that from the interaction between Pho2 and Pho4. (II) Compare two strains or one strain in two treatments in multiple replicates with dye-swap method. wt no vs high Pi, to identify genes that are induced in response to Pi starvation. cbf1Δ vs wt in high Pi, to identify the influence of Cbf1 on gene expression in high Pi condition. cbf1Δpho4Δ vs wt in high Pi, to identify the influence of Cbf1 on gene expression that is mediated through Pho4, in high Pi condition. rtg3Δtye7Δ vs wt in high Pi, to identify the influence of Rtg3 and Tye7 on gene expression in high Pi condition. pho80Δ vs pho80Δpho4Δ, to identify the genes that are activated Pho4 when Pho4 is fully nuclear localized. pho80Δcbf1Δ vs pho80Δcbf1Δpho4Δ, to identify the influence of Cbf1 on gene expression that is mediated through Pho4, when Pho4 is fully nuclear localized.

Project description:We focused on the major peripheral blood lymphocyte populations that may be involved in anti-tumor responses and negatively impacted by cancer, specifically CD8 T cells, CD4 T cells, B cells and CD56dim natural killer cells. The pure cell subsets were stringently sorted by flow cytometry from PBMC samples. Gene expression profiles of these cell populations from melanoma patients were compared to healthy controls. Experiment Overall Design: The raw data set contained 48 arrays: 6 healthy and 6 melanoma arrays for each of the 4 cell types. Two of the arrays had quality issues due to background noise and were excluded, leaving us with 46 arrays. Experiment Overall Design: On each array we used Cy3 to label a pool of two RNA samples from a pair of age and gender matched stage IV (American Joint Committee on Cancer) melanoma patients or from a pair of age and gender matched healthy donors. We used Cy5 to label the Total Lymphocyte Reference (TLR) RNA. The TLR is a common reference specifically created for this study using the total peripheral lymphocyte fraction from 20 healthy donors.

Project description:In vitro production (IVP) has been shown to affect embryonic gene expression and often result in large offspring syndrome (LOS) in cattle and sheep. To dissect the effects of in vitro maturation, fertilization and culture, we compared the expression profiles of single bovine blastocysts generated by: 1) in vitro maturation, fertilization and culture (IVF); 2) in vivo maturation, fertilization and in vitro culture (IVD); and 3) in vivo maturation, fertilization and development (AI). To conduct expression profiling, total RNA was isolated from individual embryos, linearly amplified and hybridized to a custom bovine cDNA microarray containing approximately 6,300 unique genes. There were 306, 367 and 200 genes differentially expressed between the AI and IVD, IVF and IVD and AI and IVF comparisons, respectively. Interestingly, 44 differentially expressed genes were identified between the AI embryos and both the IVF and IVD embryos, making these potential candidates for LOS. There were 60 genes differentially expressed between the IVF embryos and the AI and IVD embryos. The Gene Ontology category M-bM-^@M-^\RNA processingM-bM-^@M-^] was over-represented among the genes that were down-regulated in the IVF embryos, indicating an effect of in vitro oocyte maturation/fertilization on embryonic gene expression. A culture effect on the expression of genes involved in translation was also observed by the comparison of AI to IVD embryos. Reference design with dye swap. 43 individual embryos were analyzed.

Project description:In the present study we carried out testicular gene expression profiling of patients with AZFc microdeletion, idiopathic infertility and normal spermatogenesis, in order to identify up- and downregulated genes in the different conditions, and to verify the presence of specific molecular pathways leading to the spermatogenic damage in patients with AZFc deletions. All samples of patients with AZFc deletion clustered together, showing downregulation of several genes related to spermatogenesis. In this study, we analyzed testis expression profiles of 16 patients with different phenotypes, including men with AZFc deletions and men with idiopathic infertility. All pathological human testis RNAs were hybridized against normal testis reference RNA samples (obstructive azoospermia), while the three samples with normal spermatogenesis were hybridized against a control represented by an home-made RNA universal reference consisting of a commercial human purified tissue RNA pool (brain, liver, muscle and lung) (Clontech, Terra Bella, CA, USA) . These latter hybridizations were carried out in order to generate a profile of genes specifically expressed in normal testis.

Project description:The abstract of the manuscript titled "Signalling pathways involved in adult heart formation revealed by gene expression profiling in Drosophila" is given below: "Drosophila provides a powerful system for defining the complex genetic programs that drive organogenesis. Under control of the steroid hormone ecdysone, the adult heart in Drosophila forms during metamorphosis by a remodelling of the larval cardiac organ. Here, we evaluated the extent to which transcriptional signatures revealed by genomic approaches can provide new insights into the molecular pathways that underlie heart organogenesis. Whole-genome expression profiling at 8 successive time-points covering adult heart formation revealed a highly dynamic temporal map of gene expression through 13 transcript clusters with distinct expression kinetics. A functional atlas of the transcriptome profile strikingly points to the genomic transcriptional response of the ecdysone cascade, and a sharp regulation of key components belonging to a few evolutionary conserved signalling pathways. A reverse genetic analysis provided evidence that these specific signalling pathways are involved in discrete steps of adult heart formation. In particular, the Wnt signalling pathway is shown to participate in inflow tract and cardiomyocyte differentiation, while activation of the PDGF-VEGF pathway is required for cardiac valve formation. Thus, a detailed temporal map of gene expression can reveal signalling pathways responsible for specific developmental programs and provides here substantial grasp into heart formation." Keywords: Time-course analysis Total RNAs were prepared from dissected cardiac tubes of Drosophila staged pupae at 8 successive time-points 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 42 and 48 hours after puparium formation covering adult heart organogenesis. For each time-point sample, 5 cardiac tubes were hand dissected from staged individuals. Four independent biological replicates were analyzed to confer a high reproducibility and statistical significance of the expression data. PolyA+ RNAs were linearly amplified (32 amplifications), labelled (32 with Cy3 and 32 with Cy5), and used for hybridization on Drosophila high-density oligonucleotide (INDAC) dual-channel microarrays (32 arrays) according to a loop-design dedicated to time-course experiments. Given the same number of arrays (8), a simple loop design is more efficient than a reference design: direct comparisons, smallest variance for log ratios, balancing varieties with dye-swapping (including technical replicates) and no reference sample needed (which has no intrinsic interest in our study). A graphical representation of the loop design used on this study is showed in the associated manuscript.
