Project description:The complement system is an important part of the innate defense against invading pathogens. The ability to resist complement-mediated killing is considered to be an important virulence trait for the human-restricted respiratory tract pathogen M. catarrhalis, as most disease-associated M. catarrhalis isolates are complement-resistant. Here we studied the molecular basis of M. catarrhalis complement-resistance by transcriptome profiling upon exposure to 10% normal human serum (NHS). After 1h exposure of M. catarrhalis BBH18 to 10% NHS (n = 5) or the NHS dilution buffer alone (control, n = 5), total RNA was isolated and labeled cDNA was generated according to standard Nimblegen gene expression array protocols and hybridized to 4x72K Nimblegen M. catarrhalis expression arrays for read-out.

Project description:During the course of infection, respiratory pathogens like Moraxella catarrhalis needs to adhere to epithelial cells of different host niches such as the nasopharynx and lungs. Consequently, efficient adhesion to epithelial cells is considered an important virulence trait of M. catarrhalis. We examined the interaction between human pharyngeal epithelial Detroit 562 cells and M. catarrhalis BBH18 during adherence using a combination of Tn-seq, a genome-wide negative selection screenings technology, and expression profiling of both host and pathogen. The results described in this study are further discussed in Stefan P.W. de Vries, Marc J. Eleveld, Peter W.M. Hermans, Hester J. Bootsma: Characterization of the molecular interplay between Moraxella catarrhalis and human respiratory tract epithelial cells, submitted. After 1 hour adherence to Detroit 562 cells, RNA was isolated from adherent (n = 4) and non-adherent (planktonic) (n = 4) M. catarrhalis BBH18 as well as from bacteria incubated in the infection medium alone (n = 3). RNA obtained from the adherent fraction was enriched for bacterial RNA using the MICROBEnrich kit (Ambion). Total RNA was labeled according to standard Nimblegen gene expression array protocols and hybridized to a 4x72K Nimblegen M. catarrhalis expression array for read-out.

Project description:Plant damage promotes the interaction of lipoxygenases (LOX) with fatty acids yielding 9-hydroperoxides, 13-hydroperoxides and complex arrays of oxylipins. The action of 13-LOX on linolenic acid enables production of 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (12-OPDA) and its downstream products, termed jasmonates. As signals, jasmonates have related yet distinct roles in the regulation of plant resistance against insect and pathogen attack. A similar pathway involving 9-LOX activity on linolenic and linoleic acid leads to the 12-OPDA positional isomer, 10-oxo-11-phytodienoic acid (10-OPDA) and 10-oxo-11-phytoenoic acid (10-OPEA), respectively; however, physiological roles for 9-LOX cyclopentenones have remained unclear. In developing maize (Zea mays) leaves, southern leaf blight (Cochliobolus heterostrophus) infection results in dying necrotic tissue and the localized accumulation of 10-OPEA, 10-OPDA and a series of related 14- and 12-carbon metabolites, collectively termed ‘death acids’. 10-OPEA accumulation becomes wound-inducible within fungal-infected tissues and at physiologically relevant concentrations acts as a phytoalexin by suppressing the growth of fungi and herbivores including Aspergillus flavus, Fusarium verticillioides, and Helicoverpa zea. Unlike previously established maize phytoalexins, 10-OPEA and 10-OPDA display significant phytotoxicity. Both 12-OPDA and 10-OPEA promote the transcription of defense genes encoding glutathione S-transferases, cytochrome P450s, and pathogenesis-related proteins. In contrast, 10-OPEA only weakly promotes the accumulation of multiple protease inhibitor transcripts. Consistent with a role in dying tissue, 10-OPEA application promotes cysteine protease activation and cell death which is inhibited by overexpression of the cysteine protease inhibitor maize cystatin-9. Functions for 10-OPEA and associated death acids are consistent with specialized roles in local defense reactions. A total of 6 samples were analyzed, comprised of two treatments: 10-OPEA and DMSO carrier control (5%DMSO/0.1% Tween20 in H20), both in replicates of three.

Project description:ECB larvae remain damaging pests of conventiational maize production. To better understand the physiological and molecular changes occuring in stem tissue during insect attack we explored the biochemical and transcriptional profiles in these tissues. We used microarrays to detail the transcriptional changes associated with ECB attack and considered these in the context of biochemical markers of plant defense and total protein levels. Maize internode tissue was selected from untreated control plants and those which 5th instar ECB larvae had bored into for 48 h for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Two trophoblastic cell lines, CRL-1584 (3A-Sub E) and JEG-3 were purchased from American Type Culture collection (ATCC) (Manassas, VA). CRL-1584 (3A-Sub E) was originally derived from human term primary placental cells and then immortalized using SV40 virus. JEG-3 is a clonal human choriocarcinoma. The cell lines were serially passaged in complete medium supplemented with each cell lineâs respective IC50 concentration of methotrexate until the cell lines were able to proliferate normally. Subsequently, the concentration of methotrexate was increased by one half-log concentration. The process was repeated iteratively until the cells became senescent. At each log concentration of methotrexate resistance, cell line stocks were frozen to establish a separate subline of each cell line. Based on their relative level of resistance to methotrexate, these were designated JEG-3-R7, JEG-3-R6, and JEG-3-R5 (for 10-7 M through 10-5 M methotrexate resistance). Over the same time period (approximately 11 months), we were able to induce only one order of magnitude of resistance in the normal placenta cell line; that line was designated NP-R7. In parallel, the parent cell lines were passaged in normal medium to control for any physiologic changes induced by prolonged culture in vitro.

Project description:While most blood lineages are assumed to mature through a single cellular and developmental route downstream of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), dendritic cells (DCs) can be derived from both myeloid and lymphoid progenitors in vivo. To determine how distinct progenitors can generate similar downstream lineages, we examined the transcriptional changes that accompany loss of in vivo myeloid potential as common myeloid progenitors (CMPs) differentiate into common dendritic cell progenitors (CDPs), and as lymphoid-primed multipotent progenitors (LMPPs) differentiate into all lymphoid progenitors (ALPs). Microarray studies revealed that Interferon regulatory factor 8 (IRF-8) expression increased during each of these transitions. Competitive reconstitutions using Irf8-/- bone marrow demonstrated cell-intrinsic defects in the formation of CDPs and all splenic dendritic cell subsets. Irf8-/- CMPs and, unexpectedly, Irf8-/- ALPs produced more neutrophils in vivo than their wild type counterparts at the expense of DCs. Retroviral expression of IRF-8 in multiple progenitors led to reduced neutrophil production and increased numbers of DCs, even in the granulocyte-macrophage progenitor (GMP), which does not normally possess conventional DC potential. These data suggest that IRF-8 represses a neutrophil module of development and promotes convergent DC development from multiple lymphoid and myeloid progenitors autonomously of cellular context. CMP (Lineage-c-kithiSca-1-CD11c- CD34+ Flk2+CD16/32-CD115- ) or ALP (Lin-Ly6D-B220-c-kit+Flk2+IL7R?+) were double sorted from the bone marrow of wild type C57BL/6 mice. RNA was extracted from 2,000-15,000 sorted cells using Qiagen RNeasy Mini kit, amplified using Nugen pico-amplification kit , and 750 ng of aRNA was hybridized to Illumina MouseRef-8 v 2.0 bead chips Amy,M,Becker

Project description:This data series was used for two separate studies. The initial study was aimed to idenify expression changes brought about by the Cecr2Gt45Bic mutation during neural closure. The study included two different strains, BALB/cCrl in which Cecr2GT45Bic shows a neural tube defect phenotype and FVB/N in which Cecr2Gt45Bic does not manifest neural closure defects. The second was to idenify strain specific expression differences present during neural closure of the mouse embryo between BALB/cCrl and FVB/N in order to identify candidate modifiers of the Cecr2Gt45Bic neural tube defect. Relevant abstracts are included below. The initial study ; BACKGROUND: Over 200 mouse genes are associated with neural tube defects (NTDs), including Cecr2, the bromodomain-containing subunit of the CERF chromatin remodeling complex. METHODS: Gene-trap mutation Cecr2Gt45Bic results in 74% exencephaly (equivalent of human anencephaly) on the BALB/c strain. Gene expression altered during cranial neural tube closure by the Cecr2 mutation was identified through microarray analysis of 11M-bM-^@M-^S14 somites stage Cecr2Gt45Bicembryos. RESULTS: Analysis of Affymetrix Mouse 430 2.0 chips detected 60 transcripts up-regulated and 54 transcripts down-regulated in the Cecr2Gt45Bic embryos (fold > 1.5, p < 0.05). The Cecr2 transcript was reduced only M-bM-^HM-<7- to 14-fold from normal levels, suggesting the Cecr2Gt45Bic is a hypomorphic mutation. We therefore generated a novel Cecr2 null allele (Cecr2tm1.1Hemc). Resulting mutants displayed a stronger penetrance of exencephaly than Cecr2Gt45Bic in both BALB/c and FVB/N strains, in addition to midline facial clefts and forebrain encephalocele in the FVB/N strain. The Cecr2 transcript is reduced 260-fold in the Cecr2tm1.1Hemc line. Subsequent qRT-PCR using Cecr2tm1.1Hemc mutant heads confirmed downregulation of transcription factors Alx1/Cart1,Dlx5, Eya1, and Six1. CONCLUSIONS: As both Alx1/Cart1 and Dlx5 mouse mutations result in exencephaly, we hypothesize that changes in expression of these mesenchymal/ectodermal transcription factors may contribute to NTDs associated with Cecr2. Birth Defects Research (Part A), 2010. 010 Wiley-Liss, Inc. The second study: ABSTRACT:Although neural tube defects (NTDs) are common in humans, little is known about their multifactorial genetic causes. While most mouse models involve NTDs caused by a single mutated gene, we have previously described a multigenic system involving susceptibility to NTDs. In mice with a mutation in Cecr2, the cranial NTD exencephaly shows strain specific differences in penetrance, with 74% penetrance in BALB/cCrl and 0% penetrance in FVB/N. Whole genome linkage analysis showed that a region of chromosome 19 was partially responsible for this difference in penetrance. We now reveal by genetic analysis of three subinterval congenic lines that the chromosome 19 region contains more than one modifier gene. Analysis of embryos showed that although a Cecr2 mutation causes wider neural tubes in both strains, FVB/N embryos overcome this abnormality and close. A microarray analysis comparing neurulating female embryos from both strains identified differentially expressed genes within the chromosome 19 region, including Arhgap19, which is expressed at a lower level in BALB/cCrl due to a stop codon specific to that substrain. Modifier genes in this region are of particular interest because it is syntenic to human chromosome 10q25, the site of a human susceptibility locus. (MANUSCRIPT PENDING SUBMISSION) Thieler STAGE 13-14 (11-14 somite) female embryos where disected away from extraembryonic membranes for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. A single embryo was processed per array, with four biological replicates per genotype BALB/cCrl, Cecr2GT45Bic BALB/cCrl, FVB/N, and Cecr2Gt45Bic FVB/N.

Project description:Ensuring cooperation among formerly autonomous cells has been a central challenge in the evolution of multicellular organisms. One solution is monoclonality, but this option does not eliminate genetic and epigenetic variability, leaving room for exploitative behavior. We therefore hypothesized that embryonic development must be protected by robust regulatory mechanisms that prevent aberrant clones from superseding wild-type cells. Using a genome-wide screen in murine induced pluripotent stem cells, we identified a network of genes (centered on p53, topoisomerase 1, and olfactory receptors) whose downregulation caused the cells to replace wild-type cells, both in vitro and in the mouse embryo—without perturbing normal development. These genes thus appear to fulfill an unexpected role in fostering cell cooperation. We mixed knockdown (Top1 or p53) and mock embryonic stem cells and collected mRNA on day 4 of coculture, while cells were in the growth phase. These conditions allowed direct comparisons within a single cell type rather than a mixture of different cell types as seen under differentiation conditions. To extract information specific to cell cooperation as opposed to canonical p53 and Top1 functions, we compared results obtained from our mixed (1:4) culture with those obtained after mixing mRNA (also 1:4) from p53- or Top1-knockdown cells and mock cells that were grown homotypically.
