Transcriptome of clec-4 for the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans

ABSTRACT: C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) encoding genes are highly diverse in C. elegans, comprising a clec gene family of 283 members. Since vertebrate CTLD proteins have characterized functions in defense responses against pathogens and since expression of C. elegans clec genes is pathogen-dependent, it is generally assumed that clec genes function in C. elegans immune defenses. In this study we challenged this assumption and focused on the C. elegans clec gene clec-4, whose expression is highly upregulated upon infection with various pathogens. We tested the involvement of clec-4 in the defense response to infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14, Bacillus thuringiensis BT18247, and the natural pathogen Serratia rubidaea MYb237. Contrary to our expectation clec-4(ok2050) mutant worms were not more susceptible to pathogen infection than wildtype worms. To explore potential redundant function between different C. elegans clec genes, we investigated expression of several clec-4 paralogs, finding that clec-4, clec-41, and clec-42 expression shows similar infection-dependent changes and co-localizes to the intestine. We found that only clec-42 is required for the C. elegans defense response to BT18247 infection and that clec-4 genetically interacts with clec-41 and clec-42. The exact role of clec-4 in pathogen defense responses however remains enigmatic. Our results further indicate that a complex interplay between different clec genes regulates C. elegans defense responses.

Identify genes regulated by zip-2 in absence and presence of P. aeruginosa PA14 infection at 4h

Project description:Very little is known about how animals discriminate pathogens from innocuous microbes. To address this question, we examined infection-response gene induction in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. We focused on genes that are induced in C. elegans by infection with the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, but are not induced by an isogenic attenuated gacA mutant. Most of these genes are induced independently of known immunity pathways. We generated a GFP reporter for one of these genes, infection response gene 1 (irg-1), which is induced strongly by wild-type P. aeruginosa strain PA14, but not by other C. elegans pathogens or by other wild-type P. aeruginosa strains that are weakly pathogenic to C. elegans. To identify components of the pathway that induces irg-1 in response to infection, we performed an RNA interference screen of C. elegans transcription factors. This screen identified zip-2, a bZIP transcription factor that is required for inducing irg-1, as well as several other genes, and is important for defense against infection by P. aeruginosa. These data indicate that zip-2 is part of a specialized pathogen response pathway that is induced by virulent strains of P. aeruginosa and provides defense against this pathogen. Analysis of differential gene expression in adult N2 C. elegans treated with L4440 control RNAi or zip-2 RNAi, either uninfected (feeding on E. coli) or infected with P. aeruginosa PA14; samples were analyzed after 4 hours of infection

RNA-Seq to identify NMUR-1-regulated genes in C. elegans defense against pathogen infection

Project description:To gain molecular insights on how NMUR-1 regulates C. elegans defense against pathogen infection, we used RNA-Seq to profile gene expression in nmur-1(ok1387) animals relative to wild-type animals with or without E. faecalis or S. enterica infection. We found that NMUR-1 modulates C. elegans transcription activity by regulating the expression of transcription factors, which, in turn, controls the expression of distinct immune genes in response to different pathogens.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of C. elegans young adult worms exposed to pathogen Serratia marcescens for 4 hours versus age-matched worms exposed to control lab food E. coli OP50. The goal was to identify genes regulated in response to pathogen. The broader goal of study was to study evolution of pathogen response by comparing this expression profile to that obtained by exposing the nematode Pristionchus pacificus to the same pathogen. Other experiments which are a part of this study include expression profiling of C. elegans and P. pacificus on other pathogens including Bacillus thuringiensis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Xenorhabdus nematophila. One-condition experiments. C. elegans young adults: Exposed to Serratia marcescens versus exposed to E. coli OP50 : 4 hours. 4 biological replicates for each condition, including 2 dye-swaps.

The Arabidopsis miR396 mediates pathogen-associated molecular pattern-triggered immune responses against fungal pathogens

Project description:A first line of defense against pathogen infections is the recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), leading to PAMP-triggered immunity (PTI). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are primarily known as central regulators of plant development, but a few have also been connected to immunity. We have found that several fungal pathogens lead to a reduction in miR396 levels, suggesting that miR396 are negative regulators of downstream defense responses. In agreement with such as scenario, constitutive attenuation of miR396 activity enhances resistance to infection by fungal pathogens, while increased miR396 activity reduces pathogen resistance. We conclude that constitutive reduction of miR396 levels confer a primed state for enhanced defense reactions

The C. elegans neural editome reveals an ADAR target mRNA required for proper chemotaxis

Project description:ADAR proteins alter gene expression both via catalyzing adenosine-to-inosine RNA editing and in an editing-independent manner by binding to target RNAs. Loss of ADARs affects neuronal function in all animals studied to date. To identify important neuronal targets in C. elegans, we performed the first unbiased assessment of the effects of ADR-2, the C. elegans editing enzyme, on the neural transcriptome. We identified the neural editome and gene expression changes associated with the loss of adr-2. As C. elegans lacking adr-2 exhibit reduced chemotaxis, our studies focused on targets that regulate this process. We identified an edited mRNA, clec-41, whose expression is dependent on ADR-2. Expressing clec-41 in adr-2 deficient neural cells restored chemotaxis. This study is the first of its kind in the RNA editing field to span from developing novel methodology for tissue-specific target identification to organismal behavior, significantly advancing our understanding of ADAR functions in neural cells.
