Profiling expression changes caused by a segmental aneuploid in maize

ABSTRACT: ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: While changes in chromosome number that result in aneuploidy are associated with phenotypic consequences such as Down syndrome and cancer, the molecular causes of specific phenotypes and genome-wide expression changes that occur in aneuploids are still being elucidated. RESULTS: We employed a segmental aneuploid condition in maize to study phenotypic and gene expression changes associated with aneuploidy. Maize plants that are trisomic for 90% of the short arm of chromosome 5 and monosomic for a small distal portion of the short arm of chromosome 6 exhibited a phenotypic syndrome that includes reduced stature, tassel morphology changes and the presence of knots on the leaves. The knotted-like homeobox gene knox10, which is located on the short arm of chromosome 5, was shown to be ectopically expressed in developing leaves of the aneuploid plants. Expression profiling revealed that ~40% of the expressed genes in the trisomic region exhibited the expected 1.5 fold increased transcript levels while the remaining 60% of genes did not show altered expression even with increased gene dosage. CONCLUSIONS: We found that the majority of genes with altered expression levels were located within the chromosomal regions affected by the segmental aneuploidy and exhibits dosage-dependent expression changes. A small number of genes exhibit higher levels of expression change not predicted by the dosage, or display altered expression even though they are not located in the aneuploid regions.

Experiment Overall Design: There are four biological replicates of pooled wild-type siblings and four biological replicates of pooled DpDf plants. The DpDf plants are segmental aneuploids that contain three copies of the short arm of chromosome 5. These plants are all in the B73 inbred genetic background.

Profiling expression changes caused by a segmental aneuploid in maize meristem tissues

Project description:Segmental aneuploidy refers to the relative excess or deficiency of specific chromosome regions. This condition results in gene dosage imbalance and often causes severe phenotypic alterations in plants and animals. The mechanisms by which gene dosage imbalance effects gene expression and phenotype are not completely clear. The effects of aneuploidy on the transcriptome may depend on the types of cells analyzed and on the developmental stage. We performed global gene expression profiling to determine the effects of segmental aneuploidy on gene expression levels in two different maize tissues and a detailed analysis of expression of 30 genes affected by aneuploidy in multiple maize tissues. Multiple genes demonstrated qualitative changes in gene expression due to aneuploidy, when the gene became ectopically expressed or erroneously transcriptionally silenced in aneuploids relative to wild type plants. Our data strongly suggested that quantitative changes in gene expression at developmental transition points caused by variation in gene copy number progressed through tissue development and resulted in stable qualitative changes in gene expression patterns. Thus, aneuploidy in maize results in alterations of gene expression patterns that differ between tissues and developmental stages of maize seedlings. RNA was extracted from meristem tissues of 14 day-old maize seedlings segregating for segmental trisome of a short arm of chromosome 5. There are three biological replicates of pooled wild-type siblings and three biological replicates of pooled DpDf plants. The DpDf plants are segmental aneuploids that contain three copies of the short arm of chromosome 5. These plants are all in the B73 inbred genetic background.

Quantitative proteomic analyses of budding yeast cells harboring an additional chromosome

Project description:Phenotypic variability is a hallmark of diseases involving chromosome gains and losses, such as Down Syndrome and cancer. Allelic variances have been thought to be the sole cause of this heterogeneity. Here, we systematically examine the consequences of gaining and losing single or multiple chromosomes to show that the aneuploid state causes non-genetic phenotypic variability. Yeast cell populations harboring the same defined aneuploidy exhibit heterogeneity in cell cycle progression and response to environmental perturbations, which we show to be partly due to gene copy number imbalances. Thus, subtle changes in gene expression severely impact the robustness of biological networks and cause alternate behaviors when they occur at a large scale. Because trisomic mice also exhibit variable phenotypes, we further propose that non-genetic individuality is a universal characteristic of the aneuploid state that could contribute to variability in presentation and treatment responses of diseases caused by aneuploidy.

Placental Transcriptomes in the Common Aneuploidies Reveal Critical Regions on the Trisomic Chromosomes and Genome-Wide Effects

Project description:We profiled gene expression at the maternal-fetal interface during the second trimester of pregnancy (13-22 wks) in trisomy 13 (T13; Patau syndrome, n = 4), trisomy 18 (T18; Edwards syndrome, n = 4), trisomy 21 (T21; Down syndrome, n = 8), and in euploid pregnancies (n = 4). FISH confirmed the ploidy of the samples. Global transcriptional profiling identified differentially expressed transcripts (≥ 2-fold) in T21 (n = 160), T18 (n = 80), and T13 (n = 125). The majority were upregulated. Unexpectedly, most of the misexpressed genes were not located on the relevant trisomic chromosome, suggesting genome-wide dysregulation. A much smaller proportion of the differentially expressed transcripts were encoded on the aneuploid chromosome, also implicating gene dosage (1-5). In T21, <10% of the genes were transcribed from that chromosome, all but one from the Down syndrome critical region (21q21-22), which is postulated to play an important role in the clinical phenotype. For T13 and T18, a higher proportion of the overexpressed genes were located on the trisomic chromosome. In T13, 15% of the upregulated genes were on the affected chromosome; 15 resided on the long arm, 13q11-14. In T18, the percentage increased to 24, 15 of which were also located on the long arm (18q11-22). Our data suggested that the placental (and possibly fetal) phenotypes that are associated with T13, T18 and T21 are driven by the combined effects of genome-wide phenomena and increased gene dosage from critical regions of the triploid chromosome.

No evidence for whole-chromosome dosage compensation or global transcriptomic expression differences in spontaneously-aneuploid mutation accumulation lines of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:Aneuploidy, the state in which an organism’s genome contains one or more missing or additional chromosomes, often causes widespread genotypic and phenotypic effects. Most often, aneuploidies are deleterious; the most common examples in humans being Down’s syndrome (Trisomy 21) and Turner’s syndrome (monosomy X). However, aneuploidy is surprisingly common in wild yeast populations. In recent years, there has been debate as to whether yeast contain an innate dosage compensation response on the whole-genome level, or if these natural isolates are robust to aneuploidy without such a mechanism. In this study, we tested for differential gene expression in 20 aneuploid and 18 euploid lines of yeast from two previous mutation accumulation experiments, where selection was low and therefore aneuploidies arose spontaneously. We found no evidence for whole-chromosome dosage compensation in aneuploid yeast but did find some evidence for attenuation of expression on a gene-by-gene basis. We additionally found that aneuploidy has no effect on the expression of the rest of the genome (i.e. “trans” genes), and that very few mutually exclusive aneuploid lines shared differentially expressed genes. However, we found a small common differential expression response in the euploid lines, suggesting an effect of mutation accumulation on gene expression. Our findings contribute to our understanding of aneuploidy in yeast and support the hypothesis that there is no innate dosage compensation mechanism at the whole-chromosome level.

Predominantly inverse modulation of gene expression in genomically unbalanced disomic haploid maize

Project description:The phenotypic consequences of the addition or subtraction of part of a chromosome is more severe than changing the dosage of the whole genome. By crossing diploid trisomies to a haploid inducer, we identified seventeen distal segmental haploid disomies that cover ~80% of the maize genome. Disomic haploids provide a level of genomic imbalance that is not ordinarily achievable in multicellular eukaryotes, allowing the impact to be stronger and more easily studied. Transcriptome size estimates revealed that a few disomies inversely modulate most of the transcriptome. Based on RNA sequencing, the expression levels of genes located on the varied chromosome arms (cis) in disomies ranged from being proportional to chromosomal dosage (dosage effect) to showing dosage compensation with no expression change with dosage. For genes not located on the varied chromosome arm (trans), an obvious trans-acting effect can be observed, with the majority showing a decreased modulation (inverse effect). The extent of dosage compensation of varied cis genes correlates with the extent of trans inverse effects across the 17 genomic regions studied. The results also have implications for the role of stoichiometry in gene expression, the control of quantitative traits, and the evolution of dosage-sensitive genes.
