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:Dermal papilla cells isolated from the human hair follicle are capable of inducing hair growth in recipient epithelia. However, demonstrating disparity from rodent dermal papilla, human cells lose this inductive competance immediately upon growth in culture under normal growth conditions. We grew dermal papilla cells in hanging drop cultures that are morphologically akin to intact dermal papilla, and found that by enhancing the environment for aggregation, we could restore the inductive capacity of human dermal papilla cells in culture. The underlying genes that regulate the inductive potential of dermal papilla cells is not well understood, and we sought to use global profiling to identify key genes and pathways related to inductive competance within dermal papilla cells. We used Affymetrix microarrays to profile human dermal papilla cells in both hair inducing, and non-hair inducing states. Affymetrix microarrays were used to to perform profiling of human dermal papilla cells, both as intact tissues (freshly isolated from scalp), and at several stages in subsequent two dimensional culture; cell explant outgrowths (p0), cells at passage 1 (p1), passage 3 (p3) and passage 5 (p5). RNA was isolated from cultured cells 72 hours after feeding. Cells at passage 3 were also grown in hanging drops to form dermal spheroids, that were used for RNA collection 48 hours after establishment. All experiments were performed using tissue from three biological replicates (#D5, D6, D7),

Project description:CD133 is expressed by a subpopulation of human fetal hair follicle placode cells during early hair development. Its expression, which is gradually lost as the placode matures, correlates with early morphogenesis. We used microarrays to analyze differences in gene expression between alpha-6 integrin+CD133+ basal cells and other human fetal epidermal populations to provide candidates defining this unique hair follicle placode subpopulation. 13 week human fetal scalp epidermis was sorted into 3 populations based upon expression of alpha 6 integrin and CD133 and RNA analyzed for gene expression.

Project description:The Hos: HR-1 mouse strain (HR-1) is an autosomal resessive mutant strain which is widely used in pharmacological and dermatological studies in Japan. Although HR-1 mice have been believed to be Hr gene mutants based on their distinctive alopecia phenotype, there are no reports on either the genetic nature of the Hr gene or mechanism of alopecia. The present study clarified that the HR-1 mice carry a C to T transition in the Hr gene, which causes a proline to serin amino acid change in the functional domain of translated HR protein. It is well known that HR plays an important role in hair follicle regression, and loss of HR function triggers distinctive alopecia with the presence of premature apoptosis in the regressing hair follicle. However, the detailed function of HR protein is still uncertain. To clarify the mechanism by which HR dysfunction causes hair loss, here we performed microarray analysis on the mRNA samples obtained from the regressing hair follicles of the homozygous (HrHos / HrHos) and heterozygous (+/HrHos, control) Hr mutant mice using laser capture microdissection. Our results showed increased expression of apoptosis-related and cell-cycle-repressive genes and decreased expression of cell-cycle-promoting genes, suggesting inhibition of the cell cycle at G0/G1. These findings strongly suggest that the loss of HR function leads to high expression of cell cycle inhibitors, resulting in the hair loss with premature apoptosis in the hair matrix. Experiment Overall Design: Homozygous (HrHos / HrHos) and heterozygous (+/HrHos) Hr mutant mice of the same N1 littermates obtained from a male Hos: HR-1 mouse and a female heterozygous F1 offspring (+/HrHos) between an HR-1 mouse and an ICR mouse were used at day 14 postpartum. +/HrHos mice were used as controls because the Hr gene mutantion is autosomal recessive and the morphological appearance of +/HrHos is as same as that of wild-type mice. Four samples (two from +/HrHos and two from HrHos / HrHos) were analyzed. All RNA samples were extracted from hair follicles of dorsal skin using Laser capture microdissection.

Project description:In a previous study, we found that H2S alleviates salinity stress in cucumber by maintaining the Na+/K+ balance and by regulating H2S metabolism and the oxidative stress response. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms behind H2S-regulated salt-stress tolerance in cucumber. Here, an integrated transcriptomic and proteomic analysis based on RNA-seq and 2-DE was used to investigate the global mechanism underlying H2S-regulated salt-stress tolerance. In total, 11 761 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 61 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified. Analysis of the pathways associated with the DEGs showed that salt stress enriched expression of genes in primary and energy metabolism, such as photosynthesis, carbon metabolism and biosynthesis of amino acids. Application of H2S significantly decreased these DEGs but enriched DEGs related to plant-pathogen interaction, sulfur-containing metabolism, cell defense and signal transduction pathways. Notably, changes related to sulfur-containing metabolism and cell defense were also observed through proteome analysis, such as Cysteine synthase 1, Glutathione S-transferase U25-like, Protein disulfide-isomerase and Peroxidase 2. We present the first global analysis of the mechanism underlying H2S regulation of salt-stress tolerance in cucumber through tracking changes in the expression of specific proteins and genes.

Project description:AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a central energy gauge that regulates metabolism and has been increasingly involved in non-metabolic processes and diseases. However, AMPK’s direct substrates in non-metabolic contexts are largely unknown. To better understand the AMPK network, we use a chemical genetics screen coupled to a peptide capture approach in whole cells, resulting in identification of direct AMPK phosphorylation sites. Interestingly, the high-confidence AMPK substrates contain many proteins involved in cell motility, adhesion, and invasion. AMPK phosphorylation of the RHOA guanine nucleotide exchange factor NET1A inhibits extracellular matrix degradation, an early step in cell invasion. The identification of direct AMPK phosphorylation sites also facilitates large-scale prediction of AMPK substrates. We provide an AMPK motif matrix and a pipeline to predict additional AMPK substrates from quantitative phosphoproteomics datasets. As AMPK is emerging as a critical node in aging and pathological processes, our study identifies potential targets for therapeutic strategies.

Project description:The nuclear receptor PPARalpha is recognized as the primary target of the fibrate class of hypolipidemic drugs and mediates lipid lowering in part by activating a transcriptional cascade that induces genes involved in the catabolism of lipids. We report here the characterization of three novel PPARalpha agonists with therapeutic potential for treating dyslipidemia. These structurally related compounds display potent and selective binding to human PPARalpha and support robust recruitment of coactivator peptides in vitro. These compounds markedly potentiate chimeric transcription systems in cell-based assays and strikingly lower serum triglycerides in vivo. The transcription networks induced by these selective PPARalpha agonists were assessed by transcriptional profiling of mouse liver after acute and chronic treatment. The induction of several known PPARalpha target genes involved with fatty acid metabolism were observed, reflecting the expected pharmacology associated with PPARalpha activation. We also noted the downregulation of a number of genes related to immune cell function, the acute phase response, and glucose metabolism; suggesting that these compounds may have anti-inflammatory action in the mammalian liver. Taken together, these studies articulate the therapeutic promise of a selective PPARalpha agonist. Experiment Overall Design: Male C57Bl/6 mice (n=4 for all except 5 day treatment of 146-02 was n=2) were treated with the piperidine agonists for 24hr or 5 days at 1mg/kg/day, or water (vehicle) as control.

Project description:We measured the genome-wide expression changes induced by 29 compounds targeting HDACs, DNMTs, histone lysine methyltransferases (HKMTs), and protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) in pancreatic M-NM-1- and M-NM-2-cell lines. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene-expression changes induced by chromatin-targeting compounds at 1, 6, and 24 hours. To identify a comprehensive list of target genes that can be regulated by modulating the activities of chromatin-modifying enzymes, we measured the genome-wide transcriptional effects of 29 compounds in pancreatic alpha and beta cell lines at three time points. The results indicate that compounds cause similar effects independent of the cell line in which they were profiled. All clinical HDAC inhibitors fell into the structural classes of hydroxamic acids and ortho-amino anilides, respectively and up- and down-regulated hundreds of transcripts. In contrast, more selective compounds like the HKMT inhibitor BIX-01294 have specific effects.

Project description:Investigation of Gene Expression Profiling in Unstaged Head Hair Follicles Plucked from Men and Women Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was extracted from 1-3 unstaged follicles plucked from the scalp of each of 36 adult human volunteers. The average quantifiable yield of RNA per follicle was 112.5 ng. Ten samples were selected, based on ribosomal ratio, relative integrity number and total yield, for expression profiling. By preamplifying the extracted RNA (starting with as little as 30 ng), sufficient labeled RNA was generated to conduct Afymetrix-based gene expression analysis.
