ABSTRACT: Expression analysis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae TAF5 and taf5 temperature conditional mutants grown at permissive and non-permissive temperature. Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in Saccharomyces cerevisae taf5-17, taf5-45, taf5-408 and taf5-10.4 mutants, compared to the wild-type strain. The mutations engineered into the strains confer temperature conditional growth. The mutants analyzed in this study are further described in Layer et. al., 2010. Direct Transactivator-Transcription Factor IID (TFIID) Contacts Drive Yeast Ribosomal Protein Gene Transcription. Journal of Biological Chemistry. A twenty chip study using total RNA recovered from four separate wild-type cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and four separate cultures for each of four taf5 temperature conditional mutants (16 mutant cultures). Each chip measures the expression level of 5,777 genes from Saccharomyces S288C with eight 60-mer probe pairs (PM/MM) per gene, with three-fold technical redundancy.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to identify molecular markers of pathologic response to neoadjuvant dose-dense docetaxel treatment using gene expression profiling on pretreatment biopsies. Patients with high-risk, operable breast cancer were treated with 75 mg/m2 IV of docetaxel on day 1 of each cycle every 2 weeks x 4 cycles . Tumor tissue from pretreatment biopsies was obtained from 12 patients enrolled in the study. Gene expression profiling were done on serial sections of the biopsies from patients that achieved a pathologic complete response (pCR) and compared to those with residual disease, non-pCR (NR). Tumor tissues from pretreatment needle biopsies from patients enrolled in a dose-dense docetaxel clinical trial were laser capture microdissected for RNA extraction and hybridization to Affymetrix microarrays. We analyzed one array (sample A) from duplicate samples from each patient.

Project description:We have recently reported an allelic series of dominant, conditional, temperature-sensitive (DTS) mutations in the type IV collagen gene col4a1 in Drosophila and the onset of severe myopathy by massive degradation of striated muscle fibers, degeneration of epithelial and circular smooth muscle cells of the gut. In order to get a closer look at the molecular causes of the observed phenomena we have executed microarray experiments with the aforementioned mutant.
Project description:To generate a bona fide model to study post-stress baterial programmed cell death (PCD), we used a temperature-sensitive E. coli mutant (dnaB-Ts) since temperature stress can be rapidly reversed while other stress, such as antibotic treatment, is difficult to be rapidly and completely stopped and removed for post-stress PCD analysis. When cells were shifted from permissive (30 °C) to non-permissive temperature (42 °C), the dnaB-Ts ΔahpC double mutant maintained full surival while survival of the dnaB-Ts single mutant dropped 3 orders of magnitude; similarly, the double mutant showed much higher survival during treatments with quinolones and β-lactams at permissive temperature. The purpose of the RNA-seq analyses is to uncover molecular mechanisms underlying the increased survival of the dnaB-Ts ΔahpC double mutant by comparing its transcriptional profiles with that of the dnaB-Ts single mutant at both permissive and non-permissive temperature. The results showed that multiple antioxidative systems and stress response pathways were highly upregulated due to a deficiency of ahpC when combined with a dnaB-Ts mutation. The high expression of these genes are consistent with the lower levels of toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the dnaB-Ts ΔahpC mutant than in the dnaB-Ts single mutant. Thus, the RNA-seq data supported that ROS are an important lethal factor in bacterial suicide pathways when bacterial cells are exposed to harsh stress.

Project description:The overall goal of our studies is to elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanism by which the transcription factor Casz1 functions in murine heart development. We established that Casz1 is expressed in myocardial progenitor cells beginning at E7.5 and in differentiated cardiomyocytes throughout development. We generated conditional Casz1 knockout mice to show that ablation of CASZ1 in Nkx2.5-positive cardiomyocytes leads to cardiac hypoplasia, ventricular septal defects and lethality by E13.5. To identify the pathways and networks by which Casz1 regulates cardiomyocyte development, we used RNA-Seq and identified genes involved in cell proliferation are upregulated in Casz1 mutants compared to wild-type littermates. We conclude that Casz1 is essential for cardiac development and has a pivotal role in regulating part of the cardiac transcriptional program. 3 biological replicates of the two genotypes (Nkx2-5+/+,Casz1f/+ and Nkx2-5Cre/+,Casz1f/f) were used for RNA-seq to determine genes that are differentially expressed in the murine heart when Casz1 is mutated. Nkx2-5+/+,Casz1f/+ were used as wild-type controls for comparison.
Project description:We have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes to alter the transcript accumulation levels in cold-induced hybrid necrosis lines, which are triploid hybrids crossed between tetraploid wheat and diploid wheat progenitor Aegilops tauschii. Of the up-regulated genes, defense-related genes were most frequently found in the leaves and shoot apical meristem (SAM) of type II necrosis line with low temperature. On the other hand, cell cycle-related genes were highly down-regulated in SAM of type II necrosis line under low temperature. To validate the microarray data, RT-PCR and quantitative RT-PCR analyses for 37selected genes were performed in total. Of the examined 21 up-regulated and 16 down-regulated genes, more than 75% of expression pattern were consistent with the microarray data. Together with cytological analysis of the necrotic tissues, the microarray analysis strongly suggests that an autoimmune response-like reaction and repression of cell division might be triggered by intergenomic incompatibility between the AB and D genomes in type II necrosis. Expression patterns were compared between the two synthetic hexaploid lines showing the wild-type phenotype (as a reference) and cold-induced hybrid necrosis. Total RNA samples were isolated from the 3-week-old seedling leaves. In addition, total RNA were also extracted from the seedling leaves and shoot meristem with 12- and 6-weeks of low temperature, respectively. Two independent experiments were conducted in each exprement.
