B. thailandensis genes induced by subinhibitory concentration of glyphosate

ABSTRACT: Total transcript amplification (TTA) from single eukaryotic cells for transcriptome analysis is established, but TTA from a single prokaryotic cell presents additional challenges with much less starting material and lack of poly(A)-tails. We described, here, a novel method for single bacterium TTA, using a Burkholderia thailandensis model exposed to subinhibitory concentration of the antibacterial agent, glyphosate. Utilizing B. thialandensis microarray to assess the TTA method showed little gene bias (< 2 fold-change) and absence (~5-6%) when compared to the larger scale non-amplified RNA samples. B. thailandensis genes important to possibly recuperate and balance the intracellular amino acid pool were induced (or repressed) by the aromatic amino acid biosynthesis inhibitor, glyphosate. We validated our single-cell microarray data at the multi-cells and single-cell levels with lacZ and gfp reporter-gene fusions, respectively. This novel method will rejuvenate and expand the prokaryotic transcriptomic field. Two identical cultures of B. thailandensis wildtype strain E264 were grown in 1x M9 minimal medium supplemented with 1% Brij-58 and 20 mM glucose (MG) to mid-log phase. One culture was induced by final concentration of 0.01% (w/v) glyphosate for 30 minutes. Total RNA was then purified from B. thailandensis uninduced and induced samples, converted to cDNA and hybridized onto B. thailandensis 70mer triplicate array

Project description:Purpose HER2 gene amplification or protein overexpression (HER2+) defines a clinically challenging subgroup of breast cancer with variable prognosis and response to therapy. We aimed to investigate the heterogeneous biological appearance and clinical behavior of HER2+ tumors using molecular profiling. Materials and Methods Hierarchical clustering of gene expression data from 58 HER2-amplified tumors of various stage, histological grade and estrogen receptor (ER) status was used to construct a HER2-derived prognostic predictor that was further evaluated in several large independent breast cancer data sets. Results Unsupervised analysis identified three subtypes of HER2+ tumors with mixed stage, histological grade and ER-status. One subtype had a significantly worse clinical outcome. A prognostic predictor was created based on differentially expressed genes between the subtype with worse outcome and the other subtypes. The predictor was able to define patient groups with better and worse outcome in HER2+ breast cancer across multiple independent breast cancer data sets and identify a sizable HER2+ group with long disease-free survival and low mortality. Significant correlation to prognosis was also observed in basal-like, ER−, lymph node positive or high-grade tumors, irrespective of HER2-status. The predictor included genes associated to immune response, tumor invasion and metastasis. Conclusion The HER2-derived prognostic predictor provides further insight into the heterogeneous biology of HER2+ tumors and may become useful for improved selection of patients that need additional treatment with new drugs targeting the HER2 pathway. Array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) identified 58 breast tumors with amplification of HER2 from a larger cohort of approx 500 tumors breast. Global gene expression profiles were obtained using 70-mer oligonucleotide microarrays. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering of the 58 tumors, using Pearson correlation and complete linkage, identified three main clusters. One cluster showed significantly poorer clinical outcome. Significance of microarray (SAM) analysis was performed to identify 158 genes separating the poor outcome cluster compared to the other two clusters. Gene expression centroids, based on the 158 genes, were created for each cluster for validation in independent breast cancer data sets.
