Project description:Bloodstream trypanosomes are sensitive to iron starvation, and upregulate ESAG6/7 transferrin receptor (TfR) mRNA and protein levels when placed in low transferrin or iron-depleted media, and adjust TfR expression to compensate for reduced endocytosis. Both observations suggest a specific transcriptional-level response resulting from an iron-sensing mechanism. The transcriptomes of BSFs cultured in different proportions of fetal bovine serum (FBS) were analysed. <br><br>part 1: 4 biological replicates of SMB cells grown with 10% FBS (normal conditions) and 4 replicates of SMB cells grown with 30% FBS, as well as dye swaps, were used. <br><br>part 2: 3 biological replicates of SMB cells grown with 10% FBS (normal conditions) and 3 replicates of SMB cells grown without FBS (but supplemented with 5 mg/ml BSA to simulate physiological concentrations of albumin in media with 10% FBS), as well as dye swaps were used. <br><br>part 3: 3 biological replicates of SMB cells grown with 10% FBS (normal conditions) and 3 replicates of SMB cells grown without FBS (but supplemented with 5 mg/ml BSA and 0.3 mg/ml bovine holo-transferrin to simulate physiological concentrations of albumin and transferrin in media with 10% FBS), as well as dye swaps were used.

Project description:The vast majority of molecular studies on T. brucei are carried out using in vitro cultures. Recently, whole-genome microarray analysis indicated significant differences between in vivo and in vitro cultures of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Therefore, as an additional investigation into the influence of culturing conditions on intracellular transport we compared mRNA from bloodstream form MITat1.1 trypanosomes extracted from infected rats and from SMB cells cultured under standard conditions. 3 biological replicates of SMB cells grown under normal in vitro conditions, and 3 biological replicates of MITat1.1 cells grown in vivo in rats, as well as dye swaps were used.<br><br>The method for RNA isolation from cells grown in vivo contains steps carried out at 4oC. To eliminate the possibility that differences between the in vitro an in vivo samples arise from cold-shock during isolation of MITat1.1 trypomastigotes, we also extracted RNA from SMB cultures incubated at 4oC for 1hr before RNA extractions. 3 biological replicates of SMB cells grown under normal in vitro conditions, and 3 biological replicates of SMB cells grown under normal in vitro conditions but incubated at 4oC for 1 hr before RNA extraction, as well as dye swaps were used.

Project description:Transcriptome responsiveness was further tested by attempts to invoke the unfolded protein repsonse (UPR), a classic ER-based pathway stimulated by the presence of increased levels of unfolded polypeptides. The UPR is mediated via transcriptional responses in both yeast and metazoan cells, and can be reliably activated by addition of dithiothreitol (DTT). Using DTT at concentrations that invoke a UPR in mammalian cells, Arabidopsis, yeast and other systems, we found that, in T. brucei, DTT exposure led to rapid cell death. We analysed the transcriptome at 1 mM DTT, under conditions where cells remained viable, as assessed by motility. <br><br>part 1: 3 biological replicates of SMB cells grown under normal conditions, and 3 replicates of SMB cells treated with 1mM DTT for 1hr, as well as dye swaps were used. <br><br>part 2: 3 biological replicates of SMB cells <br>grown under normal conditions, and 3 replicates of SMB cells treated <br>with 1mM DTT for 4hr, as well as dye swaps were used.<br><br>The UPR can also be activated by addition of tunicamycin. Using tunicamycin at concentrations that invoke a UPR in mammalian cells, Arabidopsis, yeast and other systems, we found that, in T. brucei, tunicamycin exposure efficiently inhibits trypanosome N-glycosylation and that it resulted in growth arrest over a period of up to 24 hours. We analysed the transcriptome at 5 ?g/ml tunicamycin under conditions where cells remained viable, as assessed by motility.<br><br>part 3: 3 biological replicates of SMB cells grown under normal conditions, and 3 replicates of SMB cells treated with 5 ?g/ml tunicamycin for 4hr, as well as dye swaps were used.<br><br>part 4: 3 biological replicates of SMB cells grown under normal conditions, and 3 replicates of SMB cells treated with 5 ?g/ml tunicamycin for 24hr, as well as dye swaps were used.

Project description:It is now well established that mature mammalian spermatozoa carry a population of mRNA molecules, at least some of which are transferred to the oocyte at fertilisation. However, the function of the sperm transcriptome remains largely unclear. To shed light on the evolutionary conservation of this feature of sperm biology, we analysed highly purified populations of mature sperm from the fruitfly, Drosophila melanogaster. As with mammalian sperm, we found a consistently enriched population of mRNA molecules that are not likely to be derived from contaminating somatic cells or immature sperm. Using tagged transcripts for three of the spermatozoal mRNAs, we demonstrate that they are transferred to the oocyte at fertilisation and can be detected at least until the onset of zygotic gene expression. We find a remarkable conservation in the functional annotations associated with fly and human spermatozoal mRNAs, in particular a highly significant enrichment for transcripts encoding Ribosomal Proteins. The identification of a conserved set of spermatozoal transcripts opens the possibility of using the power of Drosophila genetics to address the function of this enigmatic class of molecules. RNA extracted from three biological replicates of purified sperm (Sperm rep1, Sperm rep2 and Sperm rep3) was used as a template for oligo-dT-primed reverse transcription, amplification, labelling of dye swapped technical replicates and hybridisation to long oligonucleotides microarrays. As a control, RNA from two biological replicates of dissected adult testis plus accessory glands (Testis_rep1, Testis_rep2) was amplified, labelled (dye-swap technical replicate) and hybridised to similar arrays. To help with the spot-finding of the arrays genomic DNA was co-hybridised in some cases (this genomic DNA data was excluded from further analysis). Genes with an intensity level below 200 in at least one channel across the Sperm or Testis set were removed (5579 transcripts present in all three sperm replicates, 5358 transcripts from the testis/accessory gland samples and 4295 transcripts common to both data sets). Then the quantile normalisation was independently applied to the Sperm replicate samples and Testis replicates.

Project description:As an additional strategy for investigating T. brucei transcriptome responsiveness, the mRNA of a highly important protein, the variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) the major surface protein in the bloodstream stage, was suppressed with RNAi. VSG RNAi results in arrest of cell cycle progression in the bloodstream stage. In addition, the mRNA of a highly important protein for endocytosis, the clathrin heavy chain (CLH), was suppressed with RNAi. CLH knockdown leads to a complete block to endocytosis. We hypothesized that if trypanosomes were able to sense alterations in trafficking and respond to these changes, then depletion of these ORFs by RNAi would be expected to elicit a response at the transcriptome level.<br> <br> part 1: 2 biological replicates of SMB cells transfected with the VSG- RNAi vector grown under normal conditions (non-induced), and 2 replicates of the same cells treated with 1 ug/ml tetracycline (induced) for 24hr, as well as dye swaps were used.<br> <br> part 2: 2 biological replicates of SMB cells transfected with the VSG- RNAi vector grown under normal conditions (non-induced), and 2 replicates of the same cells treated with 1 ug/ml tetracycline (induced) for 3 days, as well as dye swaps were used.<br> <br> part 3: 3 biological replicates of SMB cells transfected with the CLH- RNAi vector grown under normal conditions (non-induced), and 3 replicates of the same cells treated with 1 ug/ml tetracycline (induced), as well as dye swaps were used.
