Project description:Dysregulation of vascular stiffness and cellular metabolism occur early in pulmonary hypertension (PH). Yet, the mechanisms by which biophysical properties of extracellular matrix relate to metabolic processes and downstream PH phenotypes remain undefined. In cultured endothelial and smooth muscle cells and confirmed in PH-diseased human samples, we found that ECM stiffening activates the mechanosensitive factors YAP/TAZ to increase glycolysis and induce glutaminase (GLS) expression and glutaminolysis. Glutaminolysis replenishes aspartate for anabolic biosynthesis, thus sustaining proliferation and migration within stiff ECM. In vitro GLS inhibition blocks aspartate production, consequently reprogramming entire cellular proliferative pathways, while aspartate restores proliferation. In a rat model in vivo, GLS inhibition prevents hemodynamic and histologic manifestations of PH. Thus, mechanical ECM stiffening sustains vascular cell growth and migration through YAP/TAZ-dependent glutaminolysis â a paradigm that advances our understanding of the connections of mechanical stimuli with dysregulated vascular metabolism and identifies new metabolic drug targets in PH. We used microarrays to decipher the global program of gene expression involved in response to matrix stiffening and determined the implication of glutaminolysis (GLS) in these process PAECs were transfected with an siRNA control (siNC) or a siRNA against GLS (siGLS) and cultivated on soft hydrogel (1kPa) or stiff hydrogel (50kPa). After 48h of transfection cells were lysate and RNA extract for hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:We used the Virochip microarray to detect and discover a novel adenovirus, TMAdV (titi monkey adenovirus). We used custom-commercial microarrays from Agilent Technologies. The microarray platform GPL11662 consists of 62,976 probes, of which 19,058 probes are 70-mer viral oligonucleotides (the union of the V3 and V4 platforms -- please see Wang, et al., PNAS, 2002; Chiu, et al., Clin Infect Dis, 2006; Chiu, et al., PNAS, 2008). For this study, 4 experimental Virochip microarrays derived from tissue and swabs from affected titi monkeys were analyzed. We also used 18 Virochip microarrays derived from sera from healthy random human blood donors as a negative background set for Z-score analysis (see Chiu, et al., Clin Infect Dis, 2006). Raw Agilent microarray .txt files are background normalized and the 19,058 70-mer viral probes are then selected and displayed as columns in the processed data table.

Project description:Enteropathogenic and enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EPEC and EHEC) translocate a set of type III effector proteins into host cells that are critical for bacterial virulence. These effectors subvert normal host pathways by interacting with a variety of targets within the cell, but the binding partners and mechanism of action of the majority of effectors are not understood. We identified the microtubule associated protein, ensconsin, as a novel target for two EPEC/EHEC effectors. We found that the secreted effectors NleB and EspL bind host ensconsin and work synergistically to paralyze kinesin-based intracellular vesicular transport. Our findings demonstrate that EPEC/EHEC encode multiple effectors that control intracellular vesicle movement and suggest a simple strategy for broad-based immobilization of host cells by pathogens.

Project description:Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) is an inherited multi-system disorder, characterized by oral leukoplakia, nail dystrophy, and abnormal skin pigmentation, as well as high rates of bone marrow failure, solid tumors, and other medical problems such as osteopenia. DC and telomere biology disorders (collectively referred to as TBD here) are caused by germline mutations in telomere biology genes leading to very short telomeres and limited proliferative potential of hematopoietic stem cells. We found that skeletal stem cells (SSCs) within the bone marrow stromal cell population (BMSCs, also known as bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells), may contribute to the hematological phenotype. TBD-BMSCs exhibited reduced clonogenicity, reduced telomerase activity, spontaneous differentiation into adipocytes and fibrotic cells, and increased senescence in vitro. Upon in vivo transplantation into mice, TBD-BMSCs failed to form bone or support hematopoiesis, unlike normal BMSCs. TERC reduction (a TBD-associated gene) in normal BMSCs by siTERC-RNA recapitulated the TBD-BMSC phenotype by reducing proliferation and secondary colony forming efficiency, and by accelerating senescence in vitro. Microarray profiles of control and siTERC-BMSCs showed decreased hematopoietic factors at the mRNA level, and decreased secretion of factors at the protein level. These findings are consistent with defects in SSCs/BMSCs contributing to bone marrow failure in TBD. RNA (5 mg) isolated from N-BMSCs, siNC-BMSCs and siTERC-BMSCs 72hrs after transfection using an RNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen), was reverse transcribed and hybridized to an Affymetrix GeneChip Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 array (LMT, NCI-Frederick). Three independent replicates for each experimental condition were carried out to control for intra-sample variation. Genes that were under/over-represented by >2-fold were analyzed using GeneSpring software. Signal intensity values were normalized using RMA (Robust Multi-array Analysis) summarization and baseline transformation to median of all samples was performed. Entities were filtered based on their signal intensity values. Hierarchical clustering was performed on filtered signal intensity (>20.0), non-averaged, fold change >2. A fold change analysis (>10-fold) was performed to generate a list of top genes under/over represented between the groups.

Project description:Background: Microorganisms are the major cause of food spoilage during storage, processing and distribution. Pseudomonas fluorescens is a typical spoilage bacterium that contributes to a large extent to the spoilage process of proteinaceous food. RpoS is considered an important global regulator involved in stress survival and virulence in many pathogens. Our previous work revealed that RpoS contributed to the spoilage activities of P. fluorescens by regulating resistance to different stress conditions, extracellular acylated homoserine lactone (AHL) levels, extracellular protease and total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) production. However, RpoS-dependent genes in P. fluorescens remained undefined. Results: RNA-seq transcriptomics analysis combined with quantitative proteomics analysis basing on multiplexed isobaric tandem mass tag (TMT) labeling was performed for the P. fluorescens wild-type strain UK4 and its derivative carrying a rpoS mutation. A total of 375 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 212 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified in these two backgrounds. The DGEs were further verified by qRT-PCR tests, and the genes directly regulated by RpoS were confirmed by 5’-RACE-PCR sequencing. The combining transcriptome and proteome analysis revealed a role of this regulator in several cellular processes, including polysaccharide metabolism, intracellular secretion and extracellular structures, cell well biogenesis, stress responses, ammonia and biogenic amine production, which may contribute to biofilm formation, stress resistance and spoilage activities of P. fluorescens. Moreover, in this work we indeed observed that RpoS contributed to the production of the macrocolony biofilm’s matrix.

Project description:Background: Schistosoma japonicum is a pathogen of the phylum Platyhelminths that causes zoonotic schistosomiasis endemic in China and Southeast Asian countries. Control of the disease has been hampered by the lack of efficient measures. The development of tools for diagnosis of acute and chronic infection, and novel antiparasite reagents all relies on the understanding of the biological mechanism of the parasite. Results: In this study, the polyadenylated transcripts from the male and female S. japonicum were sequenced by a high-through-put RNA-seq technique. Bioinformatic and experimental analyses were focused on the posttranscriptional RNA processing, which at the first time revealed the extensive alternative splicing events occurred in the adult stage of the parasite. The number of protein-coding sequences identified in the transcriptomes of the female and male S. japonicum was 15,939 and 19,501 respectively, which is more than that predicted from the annotated genome sequence. Further, we identified four types of posttranscriptional processing, also called alternative splicing, in both female and male worms of S. japonicum, including exon skipping, intron retention, alternative donor site, and alternative acceptor site. Unlike mammalian organisms, alternative donor site and alternative acceptor site were found to be more common than the other two types of posttranscriptional processing in S. japonicum. In total, 13,438 and 16,507 alternative splicing events were respectively predicted in the transcriptomes of female and male S. japonicum. Conclusions: By using RNA-seq technology, we obtained the global transcriptomes of male and female S. japonicum. These results further provide a comprehensive view of the global transcriptome of S. japonicum. The findings of a substantial level of alternative splicing events dynamically occurring in the parasitation of the S. japonicum in the mammalian hosts suggested a complicate transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation mechanisms employed by the parasite. The data will not only significantly improve the re-annotation of the genome sequences, but will also provide new information in the biology of the parasite. Two samples are analyzed.

Project description:In order to study pneumococcal gene expression changes after incubation with host epithelial cells, logarithmic-phase grown S. pneumoniae strains (82 and R6) were incubated with host epithelial cells (A549 and ETEC) in T75 cell culture flasks at an MOI range of 10:1 ~ 50:1. After incubation for 1 h or 3 h, bacterial solution was removed and 7 ml of host cell lysis buffer which can remove host cells and stablize bacterial RNA was added immediately. Bacteria incubated with antibiotic-free media (MEM or DMEM) with 1% (v/v) FBS for the same time periods were used as medium controls. The RNA samples were isolated with RiboPure Bacteria kit (Ambion) or RNeasy Minikit (Qiagen), and purified with DNase I treatment. cDNA samples were synthesized and labeled with biotin-dUTP (samples) and fluorescein-dUTP (Enzo) (medium controls), respectively, by using a LabelStar Array kit (Qiagen). Divergent labeled samples were hybridized to the same microarray slide by using a Two-Color Nucleic Acid Microarray Toolkit (Invitrogen). The scattered light signals of Resonance Light Scattering (RLS) particles Ag and Au were captured with a GSD-501 RLS imager using an ICS-501 (version 2.3) Image Capture System (Invitrogen). The gridding of spots was performed with ArrayVision 8.3 (Imaging Research).
