Project description:Using whole genome microarrays based on the annotated genomes of Postia placenta, we monitored the changes in its transcriptomes relevant to cell wall degradation during growth on three chemically distinct Populus trichocarpa (poplar) wood substrates. The research goal is to identtify genes essential for cellulose depolymerization. From a data set of 12438 unique gene models, each NimbleGen (Madison, WI) array targeted 9959 genes and featured 10 unique 60mers per gene, all in triplicate. RNA and protein were obtained from P. placenta strain MAD-698-R (USDA Forest Mycology Center, Forest Products Laboratory, Madison WI) grown in malt extract agar for 10 days prior to inoculation with wood wafers. Three poplar wood substrates with distinct cell wall chemical properties were selected from several hundred 4-year old poplar (Populus trichocarpa) trees grown in a common garden field trial at the University of British Columbia (Canada). We selected three poplar genotypes based on cell wall chemical traits. Substrate A corresponds to a genotype with a higher than average lignin content and lower that average glucose content; Substrate B, a lower than average lignin content and higher that average glucose content; Substrate C lignin and glucose contents are near the population average. Poplar wood stems were cut into 0.5 mm wafers on a microtome, sterilized for 20 min at 121°C, dried at 50°C overnight, and cooled to room temperature. The specimens were then inoculated in Petri dishes with actively growing mycelia. Approximately 5 g of wood wafers were placed in each Petri dish (exact weights were recorded), sealed and incubated at 22°C and 70 ± 5% relative humidity for 10, 20 or 30 days. For RNA, the degraded wafers were removed from the Petri dishes, immediately snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C for later use. Total RNA was converted to Cy3 labelled cDNA, hybridized to microarrays and scanned as previously described by Vanden Wymelenberg et al 2010 (Appl Enviro Microbiol 76:3599-3610).The 24 arrays per fungal species were scanned and data extracted using NimbleScan v.2.4. The raw data was loaded into GeneSpring, where the intensities were converted to log2 and quantile normalized, and all probes per gene averaged. This data was then exported and further analyzed in R. For substrates “A” and “B”, three replicates were used for each wood substrate/fungus and incubation period combination. For substrate “C” only 2 biological replicates were employed.

Project description:Wood-degrading brown rot fungi are essential recyclers of plant biomass in forest ecosystems. Their efficient cellulolytic systems, which have potential biotechnological applications, apparently depend on a combination of two mechanisms: lignocellulose oxidation by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and polysaccharide hydrolysis by a limited set of glycoside hydrolases (GHs). Given that ROS are strongly oxidizing and non-selective, these two steps are likely segregated. A common hypothesis has been that brown rot fungi use a concentration gradient of chelated metal ions to confine ROS generation inside wood cell walls before enzymes can infiltrate. We examined an alternative: that lignocellulose-oxidation (LOX) components involved in ROS production are differentially expressed by brown rot fungi ahead of GH components. We used spatial mapping to resolve a temporal sequence in Postia placenta, sectioning thin wood wafers colonized directionally. Among sections, we measured gene expression by whole transcriptome sequencing (RNAseq) and assayed relevant enzyme activities. We found a marked pattern of LOX upregulation in a narrow (5-mm; 48-hr) zone at the hyphal front, which included many genes likely involved in ROS generation. Upregulation of GH5 endoglucanases and many other GHs clearly occurred later, behind the hyphal front, with notable exceptions of two likely expansins and a GH28 pectinase. Our results support a staggered mechanism for brown rot that is controlled by differential expression rather than microenvironmental gradients. This mechanism likely results in an oxidative pretreatment of lignocellulose, possibly facilitated by expansin- and pectinase-assisted cell wall swelling, before cellulases and hemicellulases are deployed for polysaccharide depolymerization. We sequenced mRNA from 9 Postia placenta samples taken from 3 wood sections of wafer design, with 3 bioreplicates for each wood section, to compare the gene expression during brown rot processes. Three wood sections of the wafer are representing early to late decay stages.

Project description:High-throughput approaches have been widely applied to elucidate the genetic underpinnings of industrially important wood properties. Each single wood trait was found to be highly polygenic in its nature. However, gene hierarchies need to be assessed with the most important gene variants controlling a specific trait within the complex network of interacting secondary cell wall characteristics that defines the overall wood phenotype. We tested the available genetic and genomic information in an integrative approach to effectively predict wood properties in Populus trichocarpa.Nine-yr-old natural P. trichocarpa trees including accessions with high contrasts in six traits related to wood chemistry and ultrastructure were profiled for gene expression on 49K Nimblegen array elements and for 28,831 polymorphic SNPs. Pre-selected transcripts and SNPs with high statistical dependency on the phenotypic trait were used in a Bayesian network learning procedure with stepwise K2 algorithm to infer phenotype-centric networks. Transcripts were pre-selected at much lower logBF threshold than SNPs and were not accommodated in the networks. Complexity of phenotype-centric networks with 100% predictive accuracy ranged from 7 (glucose) to 39 SNPs (alpha-cellulose). Pleiotropic gene actions were accommodated in genetic networks of correlated traits; such gene variants help to understand independent evolution of trait values, and they represent new tools to support the maximization of correlated response to selection. Developing xylem harvested at breast height from the north side of each tree stem from 17 genotypes with two biological replicates and from two additional genotypes without a second replicate previously identified as most extreme phenotypes in six wood traits was individually profiled for transcriptome analysis totaling 36 hybridizations to three NimbleGen 12-plex poplar arrays.

Project description:Summary: Cancer imparts an increased risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Direct mechanisms linking VTE with malignancy remain unknown. Our characterization of Doxorubicin (DOX)-resistant MCF7 breast cancer cells revealed links with antithrombotic pathways, as an anticoagulant transcriptional profile was observed. Specifically, the intracellular anticoagulant Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor 1 (TFPI1) protein was elevated and functional in all resistant models tested; TFPI1 accumulation coincided with reduced thrombin. TFPI1 overexpression in unselected cells elevated pro-malignant gene markers and increased DOX resistance. Furthermore, TFPI1 and Breast Cancer Resistant Protein (BCRP) levels increased early and remained sustained during selection. Finally, consistent with antithrombin-mediated hypoxic metastasis, Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1 alpha (HIF1alpha) was elevated in drug resistant and TFPI1 overexpressing cells. Thus, increased TFPI1 may create an intratumoral hypoxic environment, potentially leading to drug resistance. MCF7 cells were selected for DOX resistance by first treating the cells with 1 microM DOX for 48 hours. The cells were then exposed to 100 nM DOX for 2 weeks. After this period, the surviving cells were resistant to further DOX treatment.

Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in response to different light conditions of the H. jecorina CBS999.97(MAT1-2) parental strain (W) and the deletion strain delta-env1 (E). These two strains were grown on malt extract agar(Merck) at 25M-bM-^DM-^C in four different conditions: (1) 24L: constant light illumination (24L); (2) 12L12D: in a 12h light/dark cycle and then 6h light illumination; (3) 12D12L: in a 12h dark/light cycle and then 6h constant darknes; (4) 24D: constant darkness. The wild-type strain is potent for sexual development in 12D12L, 12L12D and 24D, whereas the delta-env1 mutant undergo sexual development only in 24D. By contrast, the wild-type strain is female sterile in 24L, and the delta-env1 mutant is female sterile in 12D12L, 12L12D and 24D. Our results reveal that conidation-specific genes, mating locus gene, h-type maitng pheromone genes, and genes invovled in processing and secretion of h-type mating pheromone are significantly upregulated in all four female sterile conditions (W-24L, E-12L12D, E-12D12L and E-24L). We used two biological replicates of two H. jecorina CBS999.97 (MAT1-2) strains, wild-type (W) and delta-env(E) on the cellophane-covered malt extract agar (MEA) plate at 25M-bM-^DM-^C for 7.25 days.

Project description:Wood density is a foundamental quality trait for structural timber, bioenergy and pulp industries. We investigated genes differentially transcribed in radiate pine juvneile trees with distinct wood density using cDNA microarrays. Radiata pine trees were selected from a progeny trial planted at Flynn, Australia. Based on the gravitical measurement of wood cores, 12 families with highest and lowest density each were selected, representing two groups of trees with contrasting wood density. One individual with higher or lower density were further sampled in each selected family. Developing xylem tissues of selected trees were sampled in autumn (April) when latewood (LW) was formed. The xylem tissues were scraped at breast height with a sharp chisel after the bark was removed. Wood cores of the sampled trees were further measured using SilviScan 2. Total RNA extracted from ten developing xylem tissues with confirmed distinct density in each tree group were pooled into two bulks (five trees each), and the two bulks of HD were compared with two LD bulks in the microarray experiment (named the bulk experiment). Six developing xylem tissues with the most distinct density from each tree group were further chosen. Six xylem tissues with HD were individually compared with bulked six xylem tissues with LD in the second microarray experiment (named individual experiment). These two different pooling strategies can partly minimize the genetic variation among different genotypes. Dye swaps were applied in each biological replicate.

Project description:Arabidopsis thaliana seeds that maternally inherit a medea (mea) mutant allele abort before completing embryogenesis. However, mea seeds can be rescued by pollen from several natural ecotypes of A. thaliana, including the Cape Verdian accession Cvi-0. We developed a method for the mapping of parent-of-origin effects using whole-genome sequencing of segregant bulks. The strategy is to create an F2 population that contains one set of chromosomes from the maternal parent (mea, in a Ler background) but inherits two segregating sets (Ler and Cvi-0) from the other parent. The two paternally segregating sets have opposite effects in mea penetrance: Ler fathers allow full mea seed abortion, while Cvi fathers rescue 90% of medea seeds. Therefore, the two segregating paternal sets are not equally transmitted to the next generation. DNA extracted from pools of viable F2 seedlings was sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform, mapped to the reference TAIR10 A. thaliana genome and the ratio between Ler and Cvi-0 SNPs used to identify chromosomal regions enriched in Cvi-0 sequences. As a control, DNA pools extracted from crosses between a wild-type Ler mother and a hybrid Cvi-0:Ler father were also sequenced. Three biological replicates were made for each pool. Ler-1 x Ler-1:Cvi-0 hybrid viable seedlings pools (each is a biological replicate): WT_pool_1, WT_pool_2, WT_pool_3 mea-1/mea-1; MEA-GR x Ler-1:Cvi-0 hybrid viable seedlings pool (each is a biological replicate): mea_pool_1, mea_pool_2, mea_pool_3
