Project description:Natural killer (NK) cells can be grouped into distinct subsets that are localized to different organs and exhibit different capacity to secrete cytokines and mediate cytotoxicity. Despite these hallmarks that reflect tissue-specific specialization in NK cells, little is known about the factors that control the development of these distinct subsets. The basic leucine zipper transcription factor nuclear factor interleukin 3 (Nfil3; E4bp4) is essential for bone marrow-derived NK cell development but it is not clear whether Nfil3 is equally important for all NK cell subsets nor how it induces NK lineage commitment. Here we show that Nfil3 is required for the formation of Eomesodermin (Eomes)-expressing NK cells, including conventional medullary and thymic NK cells, whereas TRAIL+ Eomes- NK cells develop independent of Nfil3. Loss of Nfil3 during the development of bone marrow-derived NK cells resulted in reduced expression of Eomes and, conversely, restoration of Eomes expression in Nfil3-/- progenitors rescued NK cell development and maturation. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that Nfil3 drives the formation of mature NK cell by inducing Eomes expression and reveal the differential requirements of NK cell subsets for Nfil3.

Project description:Steady-state gene expression is a coordination of synthesis and decay of RNA through epigenetic regulation, transcription factors, miRNAs, and RNA-binding proteins. Here, we present Bru-Seq and BruChase-Seq to assess genome-wide changes to RNA synthesis and stability in human fibroblasts at homeostasis and after exposure to the proinflammatory TNF. The inflammatory response in human cells involves rapid and dramatic changes in gene expression, and the Bru-Seq and BruChase-Seq techniques revealed a coordinated and complex regulation of gene expression both at the transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels. The combinatory analysis of both RNA synthesis and stability using Bru-Seq and BruChase-Seq allows for a much deeper understanding of mechanisms of gene regulation than afforded by the analysis of steadystate total RNA and should be useful in many biological settings.

Project description:The anti-cancer drug camptothecin inhibits replication and transcription by trapping DNA topoisomerase I (Top1) covalently to DNA in a M-bM-^@M-^\cleavable complexM-bM-^@M-^]. To examine the effects of camptothecin on RNA synthesis genome-wide we used Bru-Seq and show that camptothecin treatment affected transcription initiation, elongation, termination, splicing and enhancer activity. Following removal of camptothecin, transcription spread as a wave from the 5M-bM-^@M-^Y-end of genes with no recovery of transcription apparent from RNA polymerases stalled in the body of genes. As a result, camptothecin preferentially inhibited the expression of large genes such as proto-oncogenes, and anti-apoptotic genes while smaller ribosomal protein genes, pro-apoptotic genes and p53 target genes showed relative higher expression. In addition, a set of mitotic regulator genes and histone genes were inhibited in a size-independent manner. Cockayne syndrome group B fibroblasts showed a very similar RNA synthesis recovery profile to normal fibroblasts suggesting that transcription-coupled repair is not involved in the repair of transcription-blocking TOP1 lesions. These findings of the effects of camptothecin on transcription have important implications for its anti-cancer activities and may aid in the design of improved combinatorial treatments involving Top1 poisons. Analysis of the effect of Camptothecin (CPT) on transcription. Normal fibroblasts and Cockayne syndrome group B fibroblasts were exposed to CPT for 60 minutes, after which a washout was performed. Nascent RNA was labeled using bromouridine for 15 minutes starting at time points: 1) 15 minutes before the washout; 2) Immediately after the washout; 3) 15 minutes after the washout. Test samples are compared to control cells that were not exposed to CPT.

Project description:Cellular inhibitor of apoptosis proteins 1 and 2 (c-IAP1/2) play central roles in signal transduction mediated by numerous receptors that participate in inflammatory and immune responses. In certain pathways, such as activation of NF-kB, their degradation is a major regulatory event and is physiologically induced by activation of receptors. Additionally, a number of synthetic compounds have been developed that also target the c-IAPs and induce their degradation. However, the extent of a synthetic IAP antagonist’s ability to mirror the transcriptional program by a physiological signal remains unclear. Here we take a systems approach to compare the transcriptional programs triggered by activation of CD30, a well-characterized receptor previously shown to induce the degradation of the c-IAPs, to SM-164, a synthetic IAP antagonist that specifically triggers c-IAP degradation. Employing a technique that allows the specific analysis of newly transcribed RNA, we have generated comparative transcriptome profiles for CD30 activation and SM-164 treatment. Analysis of these profiles revealed that the genes regulated by each stimulus were not completely shared, indicating novel functions of IAP antagonists and consequences of c-IAP1/2 degradation. The data identified a role for c-IAP1/2 in the regulation of the ribosome and protein synthesis, which was subsequently confirmed by biological assays. These findings expand our knowledge of the roles of c-IAP1/2 in signaling and provide insight into the mechanism of synthetic IAP antagonists, furthering our understanding of their therapeutic potential. This submission contains two different experiments. In experiment 1, cells were exposed to drug treament (DMSO or SM-164) for 3 hours. In experiment 2, cells were exposed to an adherent layer of CHO cells either expressing or not CD30L. Each treatment in each experiment was conducted once, leading to a total of 4 samples.

Project description:BruUV-seq utilizes UV light to introduce transcription-blocking DNA lesions randomly in the genome prior to bromouridine-labeling and deep sequencing of nascent RNA. By inhibiting transcription elongation, but not initiation, pre-treatment with UV light leads to a redistribution of transcription reads resulting in the enhancement of nascent RNA signal towards the 5â²-end of genes promoting the identification of transcription start sites (TSSs). Furthermore, transcripts associated with arrested RNA polymerases are protected from 3â²â5â² degradation and thus, unstable transcripts such as putative enhancer RNA (eRNA) are dramatically increased. Validation of BruUV-seq against GRO-cap that identifies capped run-on transcripts showed that most BruUV-seq peaks overlapped with GRO-cap signal over both TSSs and enhancer elements. Finally, BruUV-seq identified putative enhancer elements induced by tumor necrosis factor (TNF) treatment concomitant with expression of nearby TNF-induced genes. Taken together, BruUV-seq is a powerful new approach for identifying TSSs and active enhancer elements genome-wide in intact cells. Two cell lines were used. K562 cells were mock-irradiated (control) or UVC-irradiated at two different doses (25 and 100 J/m^2). HF1 cells were UVC-irradiated (20 J/m^2) in three independent experiments (nfUV4,nfUV3a, and nfUV3b). In one experiment, HF1 cells were also treated with TNF (10 ng/mL) 1 h prior to UV irradiation (tnfpreUV2, paired with nfUV4).

Project description:Ssk1-type response regulator proteins are the core elements of histidine-to-aspartate systems that mediate fungal stress tolerance, a determinant to the biocontrol potential of fungal entomopathogens. We characterized for the first time the functions of Beauveria bassiana Ssk1 (Bbssk1) by analyzing multi-phenotypic changes in DBbssk1 and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the digital gene expression (DGE) libraries of DBbssk1 and wild-type constructed under osmotic stress. The results revealed 1003 DEGs, of which many associated with conidiation, xenotics transport, cell wall integrity, and protein and carbohydrate metabolism were greatly down-regulated. Total RNA obtained from Bbssk1 disruption mutant subjected to 0.5 M NaCl for 30 minutes compared to the wild type strain under the same stress treatment.

Project description:The goals of this study are to identify in vivo downstream targets of Yap through NGS-derived tooth germ transcriptome profiling. The mRNA profiles of wild-type, Yap conditional knockout (CKO) and YAP transgenic (Tg) mouse tooth germs at embryonic day 14.5 were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina Hiseq2000. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level via DNAnexus. The validation was performed through qRT–PCR and in situ hybrydization. A set of Hox genes were differentially expression in Yap CKO and YAP Tg mouse tooth germs, demonstating concurrent expression changes with Yap transcripts. This study provides a platform to systematically identify in vivo downstream targets of genes of interest. The mRNA profiles of wild type, Yap CKO and YAP Tg mouse tooth germs at embryonic day 14.5 were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina Hiseq.

Project description:To obtain an interpretation from the view of transcriptome on distinct metabolite accumulation between ecologically different regions in China, next-generation sequencing technology was performed on E-L 31, 35?36 and 38 stages of Muscat Blanc a Petits Grains grape berries from Changli (CL, eastern) and Gaotai (GT, western). Transcriptome analysis revealed that some key genes involved in terpene synthesis were markedly up-regulated in the CL region. Particularly in the MEP pathway, the expression of VvHDR (1-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-butenyl 4-diphosphate reductase) paralleled with the accumulation of terpenes, which can promote the flow of isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) into the terpene synthetic pathway. The glycosidically bound monoterpenes accumulated differentially along with maturation in both regions, which is synchronous with the expression of a monoterpene glucosyltransferase gene (VvGT14). Other genes were also found to be related to the differential accumulation of terpenes and monoterpene glycosides in the grapes between regions. Transcription factors that could regulate terpene synthesis were predicted through gene co-expression network analysis. Additionally, the genes involved in abscisic acid (ABA) and ethylene signal responses were expressed at high levels earlier in GT grapes than in CL grapes. cDNA libraries generated from four developmental stages (E-L 31, 35, 36 and 38) of Muscat Blanc a Petits Grains grape berries in two consecutive years from Changli (CL) and Gaotai (GT) in China were sequenced using Illumina HiSeq™ 2000.Only one RNA-seq library was constructed for each of the E-L31 and E-L36 stage samples because of the small amount of high quality RNA acquired, whereas two libraries were constructed for each of the E-L35 and E-L38 stage samples. As a result, a total of 24 libraries were obtained for the two regions within two years.

Project description:Fusarium graminearum is a major pathogen of Fusarium head blight in wheat, barley, and rice, as well as ear rot and stalk rot in maize. Regulatory Factor X (RFX) transcription factors are well-conserved in animals and fungi, but their functions are diverse, ranging from DNA-damage response to ciliary gene regulation. We investigated the role of the sole RFX transcription factor, RFX1, in F. graminearum. Deletion of rfx1 resulted in multiple defects in hyphal growth, conidiation, virulence, and sexual development. Deletion mutants of rfx1 were more sensitive to various types of DNA damage than the wild-type strain. Septum formation was inhibited and micronuclei were produced in the rfx1 deletion mutants. The results of the neutral comet assay demonstrated that disruption of rfx1 function caused spontaneous DNA double-strand breaks. To understand regulatory mechanisms of rfx1 in F. graminearum, we obtained and analyzed genome-wide transcription profiles generated from the RNA-sequencing data of the wild-type and M-NM-^Trfx1 strains. RNA-sequencing-based transcriptomic analysis revealed that RFX1 suppressed the expression of many genes, including genes for the repair of DNA damage. 2 samples examined: mycelia harvested 24 h after inoculation of wild-type conidia in complete medium; mycelia harvested 32 h after inoculation of M-NM-^Trfx1 conidia in complete medium
