Heat shock stress induces genome-wide changes in transcription regulation, activating a coordinated cellular response to enable survival. We noticed many heat shock genes are up-regulated in blood samples from individuals with trisomy 21. We characterized the immediate transcriptional response to heat shock of two lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from brothers with and without trisomy 21. The trisomy 21 cells displayed a more robust heat shock response after just one hour at 42°C than the match ...[more]

Project description:Bradysia odoriphaga and Bradysia difformis are devastating pests of vegetable, ornamental crops and edible mushrooms causing significant losses. Temperature may be an important factor restricting their population abundance in the summer. To determine the effects of short-term heat shock on adults, their survival, longevity and fecundity data were collected, and antioxidant responses and heat shock protein expression levels were examined. Our results indicated that the survival rates of Bradysia adults decreased rapidly after heat shock ≥36 °C, and the longevity and reproductive capacities were significantly inhibited, indicating that short-term heat shock had lethal and sub-lethal effects. Moreover, the lipid peroxidation levels of B. difformis and B. odoriphaga increased dramatically at 36 °C and 38 °C, respectively. Four antioxidant enzymes activities of B. odoriphaga were greater than those of B. difformis at 38 °C. Additionally, hsp70 and hsp90 expression levels significantly increased after heat stress, and higher expression levels of B. difformis and B. odoriphaga were discovered at 36 and 38 °C respectively, indicating their different heat tolerance levels. Overall, short-term heat shock (≥36 °C) caused significantly adverse effects on Bradysia adults, indicating that it could be applied in pest control, and antioxidant system and hsp genes played important roles in their heat tolerance levels.

Project description:Cells often mount transcriptional responses and activate specific sets of genes in response to stress-inducing signals such as heat or reactive oxygen species. Transcription factors in the RpoH family of bacterial alternative ? factors usually control gene expression during a heat shock response. Interestingly, several ?-proteobacteria possess two or more paralogs of RpoH, suggesting some functional distinction. We investigated the target promoters of Rhodobacter sphaeroides RpoH(I) and RpoH(II) using genome-scale data derived from gene expression profiling and the direct interactions of each protein with DNA in vivo. We found that the RpoH(I) and RpoH(II) regulons have both distinct and overlapping gene sets. We predicted DNA sequence elements that dictate promoter recognition specificity by each RpoH paralog. We found that several bases in the highly conserved TTG in the -35 element are important for activity with both RpoH homologs; that the T-9 position, which is over-represented in the RpoH(I) promoter sequence logo, is critical for RpoH(I)-dependent transcription; and that several bases in the predicted -10 element were important for activity with either RpoH(II) or both RpoH homologs. Genes that are transcribed by both RpoH(I) and RpoH(II) are predicted to encode for functions involved in general cell maintenance. The functions specific to the RpoH(I) regulon are associated with a classic heat shock response, while those specific to RpoH(II) are associated with the response to the reactive oxygen species, singlet oxygen. We propose that a gene duplication event followed by changes in promoter recognition by RpoH(I) and RpoH(II) allowed convergence of the transcriptional responses to heat and singlet oxygen stress in R. sphaeroides and possibly other bacteria.

Project description:Sensory epithelia of the inner ear contain mechanosensory hair cells (HCs) and glia-like supporting cells (SCs), both of which are required for hearing and balance functions. Each of these cell types has unique responses to ototoxic and cytoprotective stimuli. Non-lethal heat stress in the mammalian utricle induces heat shock proteins (HSPs) and protects against ototoxic drug-induced hair cell death. Induction of HSPs in the utricle demonstrates cell-type specificity at the protein level, with HSP70 induction occurring primarily in SCs, while HSP32 (also known as heme oxygenase 1, HMOX1) is induced primarily in resident macrophages. Neither of these HSPs are robustly induced in HCs, suggesting that HCs may have little capacity for induction of stress-induced protective responses. To determine the transcriptional responses to heat shock of these different cell types, we performed cell-type-specific transcriptional profiling using the RiboTag method, which allows for immunoprecipitation (IP) of actively translating mRNAs from specific cell types. RNA-Seq differential gene expression analyses demonstrated that the RiboTag method identified known cell type-specific markers as well as new markers for HCs and SCs. Gene expression differences suggest that HCs and SCs exhibit differential transcriptional heat shock responses. The chaperonin family member Cct8 was significantly enriched only in heat-shocked HCs, while Hspa1l (HSP70 family), and Hspb1 and Cryab (HSP27 and HSP20 families, respectively) were enriched only in SCs. Together our data indicate that HCs exhibit a limited but unique heat shock response, and SCs exhibit a broader and more robust transcriptional response to protective heat stress.

Project description:In their role as molecular chaperones, heat shock proteins (Hsps) mediate protein folding thereby mitigating cellular damage caused by physiological and environmental stress. Nauplii of the crustacean Artemia franciscana respond to heat shock by producing Hsps; however, the effects of cold shock on Hsp levels in A. franciscana have not been investigated previously. The effect of cold shock at 1 °C followed by recovery at 27 °C on the amounts of ArHsp90, Hsp70, ArHsp40, and ArHsp40-2 mRNA and their respective proteins in A. franciscana nauplii was examined by quantitative PCR (qPCR) and immunoprobing of western blots. The same Hsp mRNAs and proteins were also quantified during incubation of nauplii at their optimal growth temperature of 27 °C. qPCR analyses indicated that the abundance of ArHsp90, Hsp70, and ArHsp40 mRNA remained relatively constant during both cold shock and recovery and was not significantly different compared with levels at optimal temperature. Western blotting revealed that ArHsp90, ArHsp40, and ArHsp40-2 were generally below baseline, but at detectable levels during the 6 h of cold shock, and persisted in early recovery stages before declining. Hsp70 was the only protein that remained constant in quantity throughout cold shock and recovery. By contrast, all Hsps declined rapidly during 6 h when nauplii were incubated continuously at 27 °C optimal temperature. Generally, the amounts of ArHsp90, ArHsp40, and ArHsp40-2 were higher during cold shock/recovery than those during continuous incubation at 27 °C. Our data support the conclusion that low temperature preserves Hsp levels, making them available to assist in protein repair and recovery after cold shock.

Project description:Most influenza vaccine studies evaluate acute antibody responses 1 month post-vaccination, leaving long-term immunity poorly understood. Here, we performed a combined analysis of 14 large-scale vaccine studies and conducted two new studies mapping antibody responses in high resolution from their inception out to 1 year post-vaccination. Vaccine antibody responses were classified as weak (<4x fold-change at 1 month and 1 year), transient (≥4x at 1 month, <4x at 1 year), or durable (≥4x at 1 month and 1 year). Surprisingly, >50% of vaccine recipients were weak across seasons, age groups, sexes, pre-vaccination titers, and high or standard vaccine doses. Peak fold-change at 1 month post-vaccination was strongly associated with the long-term response, with most transient responders achieving a maximum fold-change of 4x, while most durable responders reached ≥16x, with both groups maintaining these titers for 2 months (10-75 days post-vaccination). Using the weak, transient, and durable trajectories, a single time point early in the response (days 7-8 or 21) predicted an individual's response out to 1 year post-vaccination. These results demonstrate that influenza vaccine responses range from little-to-no response to eliciting strong-and-durable immunity, highlighting the stark heterogeneity that is consistently seen across influenza seasons.

Project description:Ambient temperature is one of the most important environment factors that direct all organisms for morphogenesis, metabolisms and growth. Plants have evolved efficient mechanisms adapting temperature fluctuation such as heat stress response (HSR). Although transcriptional regulatory network of plant HSR has been established, little is known on the genome-wide transcriptional changes within first several minutes upon heat shock (HS). To precisely measure the very first wave of transcriptional response to HS, we investigated the nascent RNA and mature mRNA from plant leaf tissue exposure to 5-min HS treatment using global run-on sequencing (GRO-seq) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) methods. We found that only a small group of genes were both up- or down-regulated at nascent RNA and mRNA levels. Primed plants that already exposed to a mild heat stress induced a more drastic transcriptomic alteration than naïve plants which had not experienced a heat stress. Group A1 HEAT SHOCK TRANSCRIPTION FACTORs (HsfA1s) are the major transcription factors in charge of the very early transcriptional HSR. Within 5-minute HS, we also observed that: 1) Engaged RNA polymerase II (Pol II) was accumulated downstream of transcription start sites; 2) 5' pause-release is a rate limiting step for induction of some heat shock protein genes; 3) A good number of genes switched transcription modes; 4) Pervasive read-through was induced at terminators. Plants' HSR is transcriptionally very quick. GRO-seq is sensitive and robust to detect quick response to HS. Heat stress memory takes place at multiple steps of transcription cycles such as Pol II recruitment, 5' pausing, elongation and termination.

Project description:When cells are exposed to heat shock and various other stresses, heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) is activated, and the heat shock response (HSR) is elicited. To better understand the molecular regulation of the HSR, we used 2D-PAGE-based proteome analysis to screen for heat shock-induced post-translationally modified cellular proteins. Our analysis revealed that two protein spots typically present on 2D-PAGE gels and containing heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNP K) with trioxidized Cys132 disappeared after the heat shock treatment and reappeared during recovery, but the total amount of hnRNP K protein remained unchanged. We next tested whether hnRNP K plays a role in HSR by regulating HSF1 and found that hnRNP K inhibits HSF1 activity, resulting in reduced expression of hsp70 and hsp27 mRNAs. hnRNP K also reduced binding affinity of HSF1 to the heat shock element by directly interacting with HSF1 but did not affect HSF1 phosphorylation-dependent activation or nuclear localization. hnRNP K lost its ability to induce these effects when its Cys132 was substituted with Ser, Asp, or Glu. These findings suggest that hnRNP K inhibits transcriptional activity of HSF1 by inhibiting its binding to heat shock element and that the oxidation status of Cys132 in hnRNP K is critical for this inhibition.

Project description:Tomatoes are one of the most important vegetables for human consumption. In the Mediterranean’s semi-arid and arid regions, where tomatoes are grown in the field, global average surface temperatures are predicted to increase. We investigated tomato seed germination at elevated temperatures and the impact of two different heat regimes on seedlings and adult plants. Selected exposures to 37 °C and heat waves at 45 °C mirrored frequent summer conditions in areas with a continental climate. Exposure to 37 °C or 45 °C differently affected seedlings’ root development. Both heat stresses inhibited primary root length, while lateral root number was significantly suppressed only after exposure to 37 °C. Heat stress treatments induced significant accumulation of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and reduced abscisic acid (ABA) levels in seedlings. As opposed to the heat wave treatment, exposure to 37 °C increased the accumulation of the ethylene precursor 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), which may have been involved in the root architecture modification of seedlings. Generally, more drastic phenotypic changes (chlorosis and wilting of leaves and bending of stems) were found in both seedlings and adult plants after the heat wave-like treatment. This was also reflected by proline, malondialdehyde and heat shock protein HSP90 accumulation. The gene expression of heat stress-related transcription factors was perturbed and DREB1 was shown to be the most consistent heat stress marker.

Project description:Responses of cells to stimuli are increasingly discovered to involve the binding of sequence-specific transcription factors outside of known target genes. We wanted to determine to what extent the genome-wide binding and function of a transcription factor are shaped by the cell type versus the stimulus. To do so, we induced the Heat Shock Response pathway in two different cancer cell lines with two different stimuli and related the binding of its master regulator HSF1 to nascent RNA and chromatin accessibility. Here, we show that HSF1 binding patterns retain their identity between basal conditions and under different magnitudes of activation, so that common HSF1 binding is globally associated with distinct transcription outcomes. HSF1-induced increase in DNA accessibility was modest in scale, but occurred predominantly at remote genomic sites. Apart from regulating transcription at existing elements including promoters and enhancers, HSF1 binding amplified during responses to stimuli may engage inactive chromatin.
