Project description:The behavior of 410 miR-309-dependent maternal mRNAs (from Bushati et al., 2008) in embryos from wild type and smg-mutant females relative to wild-type stage 14 oocyte reference RNA. All are unstable in wild-type while almost 85% are stabilized in smg mutants mRNA was extracted from staged embryos as well as stage 14 oocytes as described previously (Tadros et al., 2007a). To assay mRNA quality, known stable (rpA1) and unstable (Hsp83) transcripts were probed on Northern blots. Total RNA was then reverse transcribed with random primers (Tadros et al., 2007a) and labeled asÃ?described in the Indirect Labeling of Total RNA for Microarray Hybridization protocol at http://www.flyarrays.com. The fluorescently labeled cDNA probes were hybridized to 14Kv1 microarrays obtained from the Canadian Drosophila Microarray Centre (http://www.flyarrays.com; GPL3603: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GPL3603). Hybridization and scanning were performed using a PerkinElmer/GSI ScanArray 4000 scanner and the ScanArray software as previously described (Neal et al., 2003). The 16 bit TIFF image files were quantified using QuantArray Version 3 (PerkinElmer), using the adaptive quantification algorithm and analyzed using GeneTraffic Duo3.2 (Iobion Informatics/Stratagene). . The 14Kv1 arrays were normalized to a set of known stable transcripts: Rpl1, RpL32, Rps5a, Rps3, RpL22, mRpS30, mRpS22, CG6764, bonsai, RpS29, RpL11, mRpL1, CG6764, CG317, RpL37A, and RpL40.

Project description:In animals, egg activation triggers a cascade of posttranscriptional events that act on maternally synthesized RNAs. We show that, in Drosophila, the PAN GU (PNG) kinase sits near the top of this cascade, triggering translation of SMAUG (SMG), a multifunctional posttranscriptional regulator conserved from yeast to humans. Although PNG is required for cytoplasmic polyadenylation of smg mRNA, it regulates translation via mechanisms that are independent of its effects on the poly(A) tail. Analyses of mutants suggest that PNG relieves translational repression by PUMILIO (PUM) and one or more additional factors, which act in parallel through the smg mRNA's 3' untranslated region (UTR). Microarray-based gene expression profiling shows that SMG is a major regulator of maternal transcript destabilization. SMG-dependent mRNAs are enriched for gene ontology annotations for function in the cell cycle, suggesting a possible causal relationship between failure to eliminate these transcripts and the cell cycle defects in smg mutants. Keywords: Identification of Maternal mRNAs RNA was extracted from staged unfertilized eggs and stage 14 oocytes using a modification of the TRIzol (Invitrogen) method (Neal et al., 2003). Sample quality was evaluated by probing northern blots for known stable (rpA1) and unstable (Hsp83) transcripts. Total RNA was reverse transcribed as previously described (Neal et al., 2003), except that priming was carried out using random primers rather than oligo-dT in order not to bias the labeling toward mRNAs with long poly(A) tails. The fluorescently labeled cDNA probes were hybridized to 12Kv1 microarray slides obtained from the Canadian Drosophila Microarray Centre (http://www.flyarrays.com). These represent 10,500 distinct protein-coding genes, or 77% of the Drosophila protein-coding genome. Hybridization and scanning was also as previously described (Neal et al., 2003), using a PerkinElmer/GSI ScanArray 4000 scanner and the ScanArray software. The 16 bit TIFF image files were quantified using QuantArray Version 3 (PerkinElmer) using the adaptive quantification algorithm and analyzed using GeneTraffic Duo 3.2 (Iobion Informatics/Stratagene) after normalization to the known stable transcripts rpA1 and rp49. Of the 10,500 distinct protein-coding genes on the microarray, 9,257 were analyzed for maternal expression. The averages of all of the raw values for 21 hybridizations of wild-type stage 14 oocyte RNA (three replicates of seven experiments) were sorted from highest to lowest. Maternal expression was assessed at different levels in the list by scanning the Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project in situ database (http://www.fruitfly.org/cgi-bin/ex/insitu.pl). RNA from the genes at the top of the table is maternally loaded (90.4% of transcripts with an average raw intensity > 20,000 are maternal; n = 73), whereas RNA from genes at the bottom is absent from early embryos (only 8.2% of those with an average intensity of < 2,000 are maternal; n = 73). Hsp83 appeared near the top of the list (sixth out of 9,257). Transcripts with average values between 3,500 and 5,000 were mostly maternal (75%; n = 76). As the values decreased, there was a decreasing frequency of maternal transcripts (58.7% between 3,000 and 3,500, n = 172; 46.9% between 2,800 and 3,000, n = 160; 26.2% between 2,500 and 2,800, n = 80; 24.7% between 2,000 and 2,500, n = 81). Using a cutoff value of 3,000, we calculate that 55% of all protein-coding genes are represented in stage 14 oocytes

Project description:Microarray analysis of zygotic gene expression in 2-to-3 hour wild-type (wt) and smg mutant embryos. Expression is relative to mature, stage 14 oocytes, which contain the full maternal pool of mRNA. Strictly maternal genes that are not transcribed at the MZT contribute approximately 80% of transcripts in early embryos, and are not shown. Class I zygotic genes showed high levels of expression in 2-to-3 hour embryos. 142 of the 166 Class I genes were not expressed in smg mutants. The remaining zygotically expressed genes were also present in oocytes. These genes were divided into two classes, based on analysis of 4-to-6 hour old unfertilized eggs (4-6h unf), which are transcriptionally inactive. Class-II genes produce maternal transcripts that are stable in unfertilized eggs and show significantly increased expression in 2-to-3 hour post-fertilization embryos. 358 of 395 Class-II genes require SMAUG for zygotic expression. Class-III genes produce maternal transcripts that are degraded in unfertilized eggs and show significantly increased expression in 2-to-3 hour post-fertilization embryos. 65 of 408 Class-III genes require SMAUG for expression in 2-to-3 hour embryos. mRNA was extracted from staged fertilized or unfertilized eggs, as well as stage 14 oocytes as described previously (Tadros et al., 2007a). To assay mRNA quality, known stable (rpA1) and unstable (Hsp83) transcripts were probed on Northern blots. Total RNA was then reverse transcribed with random primers (Tadros et al., 2007a) and labeled asÃ?described in the Indirect Labeling of Total RNA for Microarray Hybridization protocol at http://www.flyarrays.com.

Project description:The rupture of unstable atherosclerotic plaques, leading to debilitating or fatal thrombotic events, is a major health burden worldwide. Limited understanding as to the molecular drivers of plaque instability and rupture hinders efforts in diagnosis and treatment prior to thrombotic events. Utilising an advanced pre-clinical mouse model (Tandem stenosis (TS) model), which presents human-like unstable atherosclerotic disease, we apply high-end omic methods to characterize the molecular signatures associated with plaque instability in atherosclerotic arteries. Through quantitative proteomic profiling, we depict unique proteome signatures of unstable plaques compared to stable plaques and healthy arteries. Coupled with single-cell RNA-sequencing of leukocytes, we describe the heterodimer complex S100a8/S100a9 as unique to unstable plaque, with neutrophils implicated as the transcriptional drivers of S100a8/a9 expression. We confirm S100a9 expression in human carotid atherosclerotic plaques and we further utilise the TS pre-clinical model to pharmacologically inhibit S100a8/S100a9, resulting in plaque stabilisation. Thus, we establish the TS model as a sophisticated translational tool for the profiling of unstable atherosclerotic plaques and demonstrate that unstable and stable atherosclerosis are highly different disease entities.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of stable and unstable atherosclerotic plaque segments from human carotid endatrerectomies Objective Comparison of gene expression in stable versus unstable atherosclerotic plaque may be confounded by interpatient variability. The aim of this study was to identify differences in gene expression between stable and unstable segments of plaque obtained from the same patient. Human carotid endarterectomy specimens were segmented and macroscopically classified using a morphological classification system. Two analytical methods, an intraplaque and an interplaque analysis, revealed 170 and 1916 differentially expressed genes, respectively using Affymetrix gene chip analysis. A total of 115 genes were identified from both analyses. The differential expression of 27 genes was also confirmed using quantitative-polymerase chain reaction on a larger panel of samples. Eighteen of these genes have not been associated previously with plaque instability, including the metalloproteinase, ADAMDEC1 (37-fold), retinoic acid receptor responder-1 (5-fold), and cysteine protease legumain (3-fold). Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), cathepsin B, and a novel gene, legumain, a potential activator of MMPs and cathepsins, were also confirmed at the protein level. The differential expression of 18 genes not previously associated with plaque rupture has been confirmed in stable and unstable regions of the same atherosclerotic plaque. These genes may represent novel targets for the treatment of unstable plaque or useful diagnostic markers of plaque instability. Differential gene expression in stable and unstable plaque was assessed by whole transcriptome analysis. Intraplaque analysis by QT-PCR confirmed the differential expression of 18 genes not associated previously with plaque rupture. These genes may represent novel targets for the treatment of unstable plaque or useful diagnostic markers of plaque instability
