Bisulfite (methylome) sequencing of msh1 memory line and non-memory (normal looking) sibling plants with isogenic Col-0 wild-type control in Arabidopsis

ABSTRACT: Col-0 plants were transformed with MSH1 RNAi construct. Transgene positive plant was self pollinated and transgene was segregated in subsequent generation, and screened for presence of transgene using PCR assay. Of transgene null plants, 20% plants displayed delayed in flowering, smaller in size, and lighter green termed as memory phenotype. While rest transgene null plants displayed normal phenotype termed as non-memory.

Project description:Arabidopsis thaliana plants that have experienced an initial exposure to dehydration stress (“trained plants”) have an increased ability to maintain leaf relative water content (RWC) during subsequent stresses than plants experiencing the stress for the first time and transcription of selected dehydration response genes is altered during successive exposures to dehydration stress. This physiological and transcriptional behavior of trained plants is consistent with a “memory “of an earlier stress. It is unknown whether such memory is present in other Angiosperm lineages and whether it is an evolutionarily conserved response to stress (see E-GEOD-48235). Here, we analyzed the behavior and transcriptomes of maize (Zea mays) plants experiencing multiple dehydration stresses and compare them with responses of the evolutionarily distant A. thaliana. We found structurally related genes in maize that displayed the same memory-type responses as in A. thaliana, providing evidence of the conservation of function and transcriptional memory in the evolution of plants’ dehydration stress response systems. Similar to A. thaliana, trained Z. mays plants retained higher RWC during dehydration stress than untrained plants, due in part to maintaining reduced stomatal conductance, despite full recovery of RWC, after the first stress. Divergent transcriptional memory responses were also expressed, suggesting diversification of function among stress memory genes. Some dehydration stress memory genes were also shared with other stress and hormone responding pathways, indicating complex and dynamic interactions between different plant signaling networks. The results provide new insight into how plants respond to multiple dehydration stresses and provide a platform for studies of the functions of memory genes in adaptive responses to water deficit in monocot and eudicot plants . For each condition (water, S1, and S3) the transcriptome was sequenced for two replicates. The watered condition is considered the control.

Project description:During a T cell response, naÃ¯ve CD8 T cells differentiate into effector cells. Subsequently, a subset of effector cells termed memory precursor effector cells (MPECs) further differentiates into functionally mature memory CD8 T cells. The transcriptional network underlying this carefully scripted process is not well understood. Here, we report that the transcription factor FoxO1 plays an integral role in facilitating effector to memory transition and functional maturation of memory CD4 and CD8 T cells. We find that FoxO1 is not required for differentiation of effector cells, but in the absence of FoxO1, memory CD8 T cells displayed features of scenescence and progressive attrition in polyfunctionality, which in turn led to impared recall responses and poor protective immunity. These data suggest that FoxO1 is essential for active maintenance of functional CD8 T cell memory and protective immunity. Under competing conditions in bone marrow Single-cell suspensions from splenocytes of eight samples WT (control) and FoxO1-/- (experimental) LCMV-immune mice were prepared using standard procedures. CD8 T cells were then isoloated using Thy1.2 (CD90.2) (30-H12) microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec). Cells were then stained with anti-CD8, anti-CD44 and Db/NP396 MHC class I tetramer. Activated (CD8+CD44hi), naive (CD8+CD44lo), and virus-specific CD8 T cells were sorted using FACSAria II instrument (BD Biosciences). The purity of the cells was >95%. Total RNA was extracted from the sorted cells by Trizol Reagent. RNA samples were reverse transcribed and Cy3-labeled cDNAs were hyrbidized to Agilent whole Mouse Genome Oligo Microarrays. Fluorscence signals were detected using Agilent's Microarray Scanner system, data was analyzed using the Rosetta Resolver gene expression data analysis system and genes with a fold change < and p-values <0.01 were identified. Microarray data discussed in the paper is focused on virus-specific memory CD8 T cells from samples WT_Tet_2 vs KO_Tet_2.
