Project description:The apicomplexan parasite Cystoisospora suis has global significance as an enteropathogen of suckling piglets. Its intricate life cycle entails a transition from an asexual phase to sexual development, ultimately leading to the formation of transmissible oocysts. To advance our understanding of the parasite’s cellular development, we complemented previous transcriptome studies by delving into the proteome profiles at five distinct time points of in vitro cultivation through LC/MS-MS analysis. A total of 1324 proteins were identified in the in vitro developmental stages of C. suis, and 1082 proteins were identified as significantly differentially expressed. We performed BLAST, GO enrichment, and KEGG pathway analyses on the up- and downregulated proteins to elucidate correlated events in the C. suis life cycle. Our analyses revealed intriguing metabolic patterns in macromolecule metabolism, DNA and RNA-related processes, proteins associated with sexual stages, and those involved in cell invasion, reflecting the adaptation of sexual stages to a nutrient-poor and potentially stressful extracellular environment, with a focus on enzymes involved in metabolism and energy production. These findings have important implications for understanding the developmental biology of C. suis as well as other, related coccidian parasites, such as Eimeria spp. and Toxoplasma gondii. They also support the role of C. suis as a new model for the comparative biology of coccidian tissue cyst stages.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the methylation of adenosine at position N6 and is notably one of the most abundant modifications found in mRNA of eukaryotes. Although it does not interrupt the coding functions of transcripts, it assists in regulating several RNA functions like splicing, stability, translocation and translation and is associated with disease development, cell proliferation, cell migration, cell invasion, autophagy, cell apoptosis, and drug resistance. In this study, we performed a colorimetric assay, ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS), and methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeRIP-seq) to assess the RNA N6-methyladenosine landscape of Echinococcus granulosus; a tapeworm species of the phylum Platyhelminthes that is responsible for a cosmopolitan zoonosis (cystic echinococcosis) of public health importance. While the levels of m6A modification were not significantly different between the life cycle stages, many important genes including notably enriched and expanded protein domains like Dyneins, Hsp70, and Cadherin thought to play important roles in adaptation to parasitism were m6A-modified. These genes were functionally enriched in biological processes like cell division, cell adhesion, microtubule-based movement, important pathways involved in parasitism (e.g. MAPK), and disease processes. Additionally, the m6A alterations were present in the first exon of modified genes, suggesting gene regulatory activities. Conclusively, m6A modification of the mRNA is present in Echinococcus, and is mediated by orthologues of known mammalian methyltransferases but possibly irreversible due to the absence of demethylases. The demonstration of differentially m6A-methylation in the different life cycle stages of Echinococcus suggests a role in the development and survival of the tapeworm. It also provides the groundwork for future studies in understanding the implication of RNA methylation in the treatment of echinococcoses.

Project description:Objective: To provide genetic resources for future research on developing RNAi as a strategy for management of this pest Methods: We sequenced the transcriptome of C. cramerella representing the three stages of development, larva, pupa and adult moth using Illumina NovaSeq6000. Transcriptome assembly was performed by Trinity for all the samples. Results: A total number of 147,356,088 high quality reads were obtained. Of these, 285,882 contigs were assembled. The mean contig size was 374 bp. Additionally, we identified a number of genes that are involved in reproduction and development such as genes involved in general function processes in the insect. Genes found to be involved in reproduction such as porin, dsx, bol and fruitless were associated with sex determination, spermatogenesis and pheromone binding. Conclusions: The transcriptomes data would be a valuable genetic resource for identification of genes in C. cramerella and the study will provide putative targets for RNAi pest control.

Project description:Background: In the life history of Daphnia, the reproductive mode of parthenogenesis and sexual reproduction alternate in aquatic ecosystem, which are often affected by environmental and genetic factor. Although several functional genes on reproductive transition of Daphnia had been determined, molecular mechanism on the reproductive mode of Daphnia are still not known well, including differentially expressed genes in different developmental stages. Results: In this study, four developmental stages, juvenile female (JF), parthenogenetic female (PF), sexual female (SF) and male (M), of D. similoides sinensis were performed for transcriptome sequence, and candidate genes related to male sex determination were screened. A total of 110437 transcripts were obtained and assembled into 22996 unigenes. In the four developmental stages (JF, PF, SF and M), the number of unique unigenes is respectively 2863, 445, 437 and 586, and the number of common unigenes is 9708. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between male and other three female stages (M vs JF, M vs PF and M vs SF) were obtained. The GO gene enrichment analysis showed that the up-regulated genes in male were mainly enriched in hydrolase activity and peptidase activity. Thirty-six candidate genes related to male sex determination in male were significantly higher expression than those in the other three stages, including one Doublesex (Dsx) gene, one laminin gene, five trypsin genes and one serine protease genes, and one chitin synthase gene and two chitinase genes. In addition, in D. similoides sinensis male, the relative expression levels of two genes (Dsx1, antp) related to male sex determination observed in other Daphnia species were also significantly higher than those in other developmental stages. Conclusions: Our results showed that thirty-six candidate genes may involve in sex differetiation of D. similoides sinensis male, and it will provide a reference for further exploring the functional genes related to sex determination mechanism in Daphnia species. Moreover, according to previous investigations, we thought that the expression level of functional genes may be related to the development stage of organisms, and may be also affected by different Daphnia species.

Project description:Transcriptional programs are important for the development of complex eukaryotic organisms. Suites of genes expressed with temporal and spatial controls by regulatory networks in response to environmental cues are the cornerstone for achieving the specification of morphology and physiology of the tissue or organ systems. Thus, an important issue of developmental biology is to define the subsets of expressed genes and their expression patterns that are related to the organ or tissue system. Rice is a model plant for cereal genome research. Although large amounts of data of whole genome expression have been generated in recent years in rice, the majority of the studies were designed to identify differentially expressed genes between controls and treatments with certain experimental conditions such as biotic, abiotic or light, or to investigate the comparative expression patterns between wild type and mutants of certain genes. Only in a few cases were the datasets designed for studying the transcriptomes of a limited number of organs and cell types. Thus, there is still insufficiency in the available datasets that would allow for the establishment of expression patterns for suits of genes during the developmental processes of rice. In this study, we collected 39 tissues/organs covering the life cycle of the rice from two indica varieties Minghui 63 and Zhenshan 97, and the Affymetrix GeneChip Rice Genome Array was used to investigate the transcriptomes of these organs. The objective was to develop a genomic resource of genome-wide dynamic transcriptome of the rice plant, which could be used as the reference gene expression map for rice and other cereals. Also, the dataset is used to identify the candidates of genes with potential functions in regulating the development of rice or breeding practice. Keywords: rice, expression profiling, life cycle, development, inflorescence To dissect the developmental transcriptomes of rice, a total of 39 tissues covering the entire tissue culture process and life cycle were sampled from two indica varieties Minghui 63 and Zhenshan 97. And the Affymetrix Genechip rice Genome Array was used to investigate their dynamic transcriptomes. Two independent biological replicates were sampled from most tissues, except two seedling and three panicle tissues, for which three independent biological replicates each with two technical replicates were sampled, resulting in a dataset of 190 microarrays.

Project description:Cardiomyocytes exhibit differential growth patterns throughout development. In fetal life the increase in cardiac mass is associated with hyperplastic growth and cardiomyocyte proliferation. The majority of fetal cardiomyocytes are also mononucleated. During the early neonatal period in mice there is a switch from hyperplastic to hypertrophic growth of cardiomyocytes. This period is characterized by bi-nucleation and polyploidization of cardiomyocyte nuclei and a decreased capacity for cardiomyocytes to proliferate and complete cytokinesis. Increases in myocardial mass occur predominantly via hypertrophic growth. Adult mammalian cardiomyocytes are generally accepted to have little or no proliferative capacity and to be terminally withdrawn from the cell cycle. The vast majority of adult murine cardiomyocytes are bi-nucleated. The present study sought to accurately establish the growth pattern of cardiomyocytes throughout development in mice and identify genes associated with the switch from hyperplastic to hypertrophic growth. These cell cycle associated genes are crucial to the understanding of the mechanisms of bi-nucleation, polyploidization and hypertrophy in the neonatal period. Cardiomyocytes were FACS sorted from the hearts of ED11-12 embryos, neonatal day 3-4 and adult (10 week) eGFP ?-MHC mice whereby GFP expression is driven constitutively by the ?-MHC promoter. Gene analyses identified genes whose expression was predicted to be particular to day 3 -4 neonatal cardiomyocytes, compared to embryonic or adult cells. Cell cycle associated genes are crucial to the understanding of the mechanisms of bi-nucleation and hypertrophy in the neonatal period, and offer attractive candidates for manipulation.

Project description:Age as the primary rise factor could be play an important role in incidence and development of osteoarthritis. Several studies have confirmed some tissue specific microRNA were associated with development of osteoarthritis. But if age related microRNA or miRNA cluster would be involved in pivotal post-transcriptional gene regulation in osteoarthritis is unclear. In view of this, we have an idea that several age-related miRNAs would be screened from the rat knee cartilage at different development ages by miRNAs Microarray analysis. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying the rat knee cartilage and identified distinct classes of age-related miRNAs during this process.

Project description:In mammals, spermatogonial cells are undifferentiated male germ cells in testes that exit quiescence after birth, and self-renew or differentiate to produce spermatogenic cells and functional sperm across life. However, what drives this developmental transition at the transcriptional and chromatin level is still poorly understood. Here we characterized the transcriptome and chromatin accessibility landscape of the genome from spermatogonial cells purified at different stages of postnatal development and in adult.
