TGF-beta/Smad2/3 signaling directly regulates several miRNAs in mouse ES Cells and early embryos

ABSTRACT: Purpose: We aimed to identify miRNAs which are induced by the Activin/Nodal effectors, P-Smad2/3, in order to further our understanding of how P-Smad2/3 controls downstream gene expression in mouse ES cells to regulate crucial biological processes. Methods: We used a previously developed Tetracycline-On (Tet-On) system (TAG1) to manipulate the levels of P-Smad2/3 in mouse ES cells and performed an Illumina deep-sequencing screen to identify miRNAs which followed the P-Smad2/3 pathway. Results: We filtered the deep-seq data to identify a list of 28 miRNAs which showed a >1.25 fold increase in response to P-Smad2/3 induction and a >1.25 fold decrease in response to P-Smad2/3 repression. Conclusions: Our study represents a comprehensive global profiling of miRNA expression in response to changes in P-Smad2/3 levels in mouse ES cells. miRNA profiles of TAG1 cells which were untreated (control), SB-431541 treated (P-Smad2/3 repressed), or Dox treated (P-Smad2/3 induced), were generated using Illumina GAII.

The Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) signaling pathway is one of the major pathways essential for normal embryonic development and tissue homeostasis, with anti-tumor but also pro-metastatic properties in cancer. This pathway directly regulates several target genes that mediate its downstream functions, however very few microRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified as targets. miRNAs are modulators of gene expression with essential roles in development and a clear association with diseases includi ...[more]

Project description:Impacts of plasmid carriage on its host cell were comprehensively analyzed using conjugative plasmid pCAR1 in the three different kinds of hosts, Pseudomonas putida KT2440, P. aeruginosa PAO1, and P. fluorescens Pf0-1. Various analyses of the host phenotype showed that pCAR1 carriage reduced host fitness, swimming motility, and resistances to osmotic- or pH-stress, and brought about the alterations of primary metabolic capacities in the TCA cycle or those several steps away from the TCA cycle in the host cells. Growth phase-dependent transcriptome analyses were performed with the classification of the annotated genes based on their identities among the three hosts and their putative functions. pCAR1 carriage affected host transcriptome more greatly at the transition and stationary phases in each host. The transcriptome responses were more similar between KT2440 and PAO1 than between other host combinations, and many genes, such as for ribosomal proteins, F-type ATPase, and RNAP core, in both strains were commonly not suppressed in their stationary phases. These responses may have resulted in the reduction of host fitness, motility, and stress resistances. Host-specific responses to plasmid carriage were transcriptional changes of genes on putative prophage or foreign DNA regions. The extent of the impacts in host phenotypes and transcriptomes was similarly the largest in KT2440 and the lowest in Pf0-1. The host alterations controlled by pCAR1 carriage are important for understanding the fate of the plasmid and its host, plasmid maintenance, expression of plasmid genes, the host cell physiology, and host survivability in the environment. The growth-dependent change of chromosomal RNA maps from exponential to early stationary phases of pCAR1-harboring KT2440 and non-pCAR1 harboring KT2440 were compared. The growth-dependent change of chromosomal RNA maps from exponential to early stationary phases of pCAR1-harboring PAO1 and non-pCAR1 harboring PAO1 were compared. The growth-dependent change of chromosomal RNA maps from exponential to early stationary phases of pCAR1-harboring Pf0-1 and non-pCAR1 harboring Pf0-1 were compared. The growth-dependent change of RNA maps from exponential to early stationary phases of plasmid pCAR1possessed by 3 kinds of hosts were compared.

Project description:Targeted genomic enrichment followed by next-generation sequencing dramatically increased the efficiency of mutation discovery in human genomes. Here we demonstrate that these techniques also revolutionize traditional genetic approaches in model systems. We developed a two-step protocol utilizing a traditional bulk-segregant analysis (BSA) approach for positional cloning mutants in phenotype-driven forward genetic screens. First, BSA pools are 'light' sequenced for rough mapping, followed by targeted enrichment and deep-sequencing of the mutant BSA pool for the linked genomic region to fine-map and discover candidate mutations. We applied this method successfully to three Arabidopsis mutants and show that it can be scaled by multiplexing. Similarly, we applied these techniques to a gene-driven reverse genetics method (chemical driven target-selected mutagenesis or TILLING) that is used for generating gene knockouts in a wide range of organisms, including plants, invertebrates and vertebrates. We developed an efficient multiplexed genomic enrichment protocol for pre-barcoded samples. As a proof-of-principle, 770 genes were screened for induced mutations in 30 rats, which identified all but one known variants (30) as well as a large series of novel knockout and missense alleles. Mutations were retrieved at the expected frequency with a the false-positive rate of less than 1 in 6 million basepairs, which is much lower as compared to traditional mutation discovery approaches. Both methods are largely independent of the genome size due to the targeted enrichment and can thus be applied to any genetic model system of interest.
