Gene expression data from yeast exposure to pyrimethanil

ABSTRACT: Pyrimethanil (PYR) is a world-wide used fungicide approved for use in plant protection products in Agriculture, and with some (eco)toxicological concerns.We aimed at finding molecular biomarkers in the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that may be used to predict potential cytotoxic effects of this xenobiotic while providing mechanistic clues possibly relevant for experimentally less accessible non-target eukaryotes. We used microarrays to carry out a gene expression profiling analysis in S. cereviseae strain BY4741 upon 2 hours exposure to PYR at concentrations exerting moderate to median levels of phenotypic effects (inhibition of yeast growth rate). Two exposure scenarios were analysed, namely the 20% and 50%-inhibitory concentrations of PYR (IC20 and IC50, respectively), compared to control cells not exposed to the fungicide (CT02). Exponential standardized cell suspensions of S. cerevisiae BY4741 in minimal growth medium were incubated in the presence of 20 and 110 mg/L of PYR (corresponding to the PYR IC20 and IC50, respectively), or in medium non-supplemented with the fungicide (control cells, CT02) during 2 h, and used for total RNA isolation and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Exposure experiments with both concentrations of PYR and with control cells were carried out together. For each exposure condition, independent biological triplicates were processed and analysed.

Project description:Hemangioblasts are known as the common precursors for primitive hematopoietic and endothelial lineages. Their existence has been supported mainly by the observation that both cell types develop in close proximity and by in vitro differentiation and genetic studies. However, more compelling evidence will arise from tracking their cell fates using a lineage-specific marker. We report the identification of a hemangioblast-specific enhancer (Hb) located in the cis-regulatory region of chick Cerberus gene (cCer) that is able to direct the expression of enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) to the precursors of yolk sac blood and endothelial cells in electroporated chick embryos. Moreover, we present the Hb-eGFP reporter as a powerful live imaging tool for visualizing hemangioblast cell fate and blood island morphogenesis. We hereby introduce the Hb enhancer as a valuable resource for genetically targeting the hemangioblast population as well as for studying the dynamics of vascular and blood cell development. We used microarray analysis of Hb-eGFP expressing cells to verify the expression of hemangioblast-specific genes in this cell population. In order to characterize the gene expression profile of the Hb-eGFP-positive population, we have isolated Hb-eGFP-positive cells and compared their expression profile with the control RFP-positive population. In brief, chicken embryos were electroporated at HH3 with Hb-eGFP and pCAGGS-RFP reporter constructs, observed under a fluorescence stereoscope and harvested at stage HH5-6 into three groups of four embryos each. Embryos were dissociated into single cell suspensions and the eGFP-positive and eGFP-negative/RFP-positive cell populations were sorted by Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS). Cell populations were collected simultaneously into two different tubes, containing RNAlater (Ambion) and subsequently used for RNA extraction. Total RNA was isolated from triplicates of each population, evaluated for RNA integrity, reverse transcribed, amplified and hybridized against six Affymetrix Chicken Genome microarrays.
