Transcriptome analysis of zones of colonies of the M-NM-^TflbA strain of Aspergillus niger

ABSTRACT: Gene expression was studied at the periphery, an intermediate zone, and the centre of wild-type and M-bM-^HM-^FflbA colonies using Affymetrix A. niger whole genome microarrays. We used Affymetrix GeneChip A. niger Geome Arrays and identifed up- and down-regulated genes that may account for the differences between wild-type and M-NM-^TflbA colonies. RNA was isolated from a biological duplicate of concentric zones of 7-day old wildtype and mutant colonies. Zone 1 represented the most central zone, zone 3 an intermediate zone, and zone 5 the peripheral zone. Mycelium of the distinct zones was harvested from three colonies.

Gene Expression Across the Human Growth Plate

Project description:Chondrocytes advance through the long bone growth plate in synchrony, allowing their segregation into one of four zones each corresponding to a different phase of maturation. Beginning from the epiphysis the recognized zones are: reserve, proliferative, prehypertrophic, and hypertrophic. A fifth zone, the perichondrium is located in apposition to the growth plate at its circumferential surface. The progression of chondrocytes through these zones, and hence growth, is regulated by a complex interplay of signaling pathways, defects in which lead to osteochondrodysplasias. At present, there are over 370 recognized skeletal disorders, slightly more than half of which have been explained at the molecular level. Through a combination of laser microdissection, linear mRNA amplification, and GeneChip analysis, our laboratory has acquired the zone specific expression profile of chondrocytes from the distal femoral growth plates of two normal patients. On average, transcripts interrogated by 12,193 or 18,454 GeneChip probe sets (out of a possible 54,000 probe sets) were present in patients 1 and 2, respectively. The homologous inter-array correlations for the log(2) intensities were M-bM-^IM-% 0.91M-BM-10.01. Keywords: Chondrocyte differentiation program. Populations of cells corresponding to the hypertrophic, prehypertrophic, proliferative, reserve, and perichondrium, were separately isolated by laser microdissection from cryostat sections of human growth plates using a Leica AS-LMD microscope. RNA was prepared from the isolated cells, amplified using a T7 linear amplification protocol, and analyzed by hybridization to Affymetrix microarrays. The distal femoral growth plate (left or right) was exclusively used for this study. Patient 1 of this study is an 11-10/12 year old Caucasian female and patient 2 is a 13-3/12 year old Caucasian male.

Transcriptomes of germinal zones of human and mouse fetal neocortex suggest a role of extracellular matrix in progenitor self-renewal.

Project description:The expansion of the neocortex during mammalian brain evolution results primarily from an increase in neural progenitor cell divisions in its two principal germinal zones during development, the ventricular zone (VZ) and the subventricular zone (SVZ). Using mRNA sequencing, we analyzed the transcriptomes of fetal human and embryonic mouse VZ, SVZ and cortical plate (CP). We describe sets of genes that are up- or down-regulated in each germinal zone. These data suggest that cell adhesion and cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions promote the proliferation and self-renewal of neural progenitors in the developing human neocortex. Notably, relevant ECM-associated genes include distinct sets of collagens, laminins, proteoglycans and integrins, along with specific sets of growth factors and morphogens. Our data establish a basis for identifying novel cell-type markers and open up avenues to unravel the molecular basis of neocortex expansion during evolution. Total RNA was isolated from the VZ, inner SVZ (ISVZ), outer SVZ (OSVZ) and CP of six 13-16 weeks post-conception (w.p.c.) human fetuses and from the VZ, SVZ and CP of five E14.5 mouse embryos using laser capture microdissection of Nissl-stained cryosections of dorsolateral telencephalon. Poly A+ RNA was used as template for the preparation of cDNA which were then subjected to single-end 76-bp RNA-Seq.

Molecular analysis of growth-limiting drought stress in Brachypodium leaves

Project description:To explore the usefulness of Brachypodium distachyon for drought studies, a reproducible in soil drought assay was developed. Spontaneous soil drying led to a 45% reduction in leaf size, and this most mostly due to a decrease in cell expansion, whereas cell division remained largely unaffected by drought. To investigate the molecular basis of the observed leaf growth reduction, Brachypodium leaf 3 was dissected in three zones, namely the proliferation, expansion and mature zone, and subjected to transcriptome analysis using a Affymetrix whole-genome tiling array. This approach allowed us to highlight that transcriptome profiles of different developmental leaf zones respond differently to drought. Several genes and biological processes involved in drought tolerance were identified. Mainly, we observed an increased energy availability in the proliferation zone along with an upregulation of sterol synthesis that may influence membrane fluidity. 24 samples of Brachypodium leaf 3 harvested about 24 hours after the emergence of leaf 3, mild drought stress was performed for 2 biological replicates, severe drought stress and control condition was performed for 3 biological replicates. 3 developmental zones, namely the proliferation, expansion and mature zone, are dissected from leaf 3.

Expression data from Aspergillus niger comparing aerial structures with vegetative mycelium

Project description:A. niger undergoes dramatic changes during asexual development. We tried to identify the differences in RNA expression levels that are important for this development. We used micro-arrays to determine which genes were up- or down-regulated in the aerial structures, the part of the colony that is formed during asexual development. A. niger was grown as a sandwiched culture (Wösten et al., 1991,Journal of General Microbiology 137: 2017–2023) in a 0.25 mm layer of 0.6 % agarose between two porous polycarbonate membranes (diameter 76 mm, pore size 0.1 µm; Profiltra; www.profiltra.nl). After six days of growth, the top membrane of the sandwich was replaced by a membrane with pores of 10 µm (Profiltra), allowing formation of aerial hyphae and conidiophores for 24 h. Vegetative mycelium and aerial structures of 7-day-old maltose-grown cultures of A. niger were harvested from 3 and 5 sandwiched colonies, respectively. The aerial structures were scraped from the top membrane of the sandwiched culture with a razor blade. From other colonies, vegetative mycelium was harvested by flipping over the top membrane and scraping it off with a razor blade.

Deletion of the FlbA-regulated transcription factor msnB of Aspergillus niger affects protein secretion

Project description:Colonies of Aspergillus niger secrete proteins throughout the colony except for the sporulating zone. Strains in which the sporulation gene flbA is deleted do not reproduce asexually and secrete proteins throughout the mycelium. Moreover, ΔflbA hyphae lyse and have thinner cell walls. This pleiotropic phenotype is associated with differential expression of 36 transcription factor genes, of which msnB was inactivated in this study. Whole genome expression analysis of wild-type and ΔmsnB colonies showed differential expression of genes encoding secreted proteins, genes involved in the oxidoreductive balance, and in (secondary) metabolism. Biomass formation, sporulation, and the secretome in the medium were not affected in strain ΔmsnB. In contrast, ΔmsnB secreted more protein when compared to wild type. Taken together, msnB affects protein secretion and is a potential lead for improving A. niger as a cell factory.

The FlbA-regulated transcription factor FusR of Aspergillus niger is involved in production of fumonisin

Project description:Colonies of Aspergillus niger secrete proteins throughout the colony except for the sporulating zone. Inactivation of flbA results in colonies that are unable to reproduce asexually and that secrete proteins throughout the mycelium. In addition, the ΔflbA strain shows cell lysis and has thinner cell walls. This pleiotropic phenotype is associated with differential expression of 38 transcription factor genes. Here, the impact of inactivation of one of these regulatory genes, fusR, was assessed. Mycelium of ΔfusR and its control strain MA234.1 was subjected to whole genome expression analysis, which revealed that 10 out of 15 genes of the fumonisin biosynthetic gene cluster were strongly downregulated in ΔfusR.

A study of transcriptome response to salt treatment across three zones of the root in a barley landrace and malting cultivar

Project description:Paired-end RNA-Seq libraries were constructed for three root sections of the roots of barley cv. Clipper, and landrace Sahara, grown under control and salt-treated (100 mM NaCl) conditions on agar plates in quadruplicate. Experiments were conducted in a temperature-controlled growth cabinet at 17 C in the dark. After three days of germination, seminal roots were dissected according to the following steps: A 1.5 mm long section marked Zone 1 (meristematic zone) was taken from the root tip. A second section (Zone 2) was dissected from the elongation zone up to a third section, Zone 3 (maturation zone), which was excised at the point of visible root hair elongation up to 34 of the entire root. Four biological replicates were generated for each sample in four separate experiments totaling 48 samples. All RNA-seq libraries were constructed and paired-end sequenced (100 bp) on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 system at the Australian Genome Research Facility (Melbourne, Australia).

Identification of stress response and recovery mechanisms by multi-scale analyses of drought effect in the maize leaf growth zone.

Project description:We use the gowth zone of the maize leaf as a model system to study the growth reduction in response to drought stress. The spatial gradient and the relatively large size of the maize leaf allowed us to sample at a subzonal rezolution and to examine different developmental stages at the same time. We compared the response to different levels of drought stress (mild and severe) of proliferating (meristem), expanding (elongation zone) and differentiated (mature zone) tissue. Three separate loop designs were used for the three zones of the maize leaf (meristem, elongation zone, and mature zone). In each loop three treatments were contrasted (control, mild stress, and severe stress). Four biological replicates were used for each zone/condition (4 replicates x 3 zones x 3 conditions = 36 samples).
