Project description:The samples were drawn from patients with diagnosed oropharyngeal cancer treated with irradiation. We used blood samples (10ml) collected from patients 7 days after receiving 20Gy dose of irradiation. Blood was centrifuged for 10 min, after which serum was aspirated, aliquoted in RNAse-free tubes, stored at −80°C until required for further processing and did not undergo more than two freeze-thaw cycles. MicroRNA was extracted from 200 μL serum using miRCURY RNA Isolation kit (Qiagen) following the manufacturer’s protocol and stored at −80°C.

Project description:Saccharomyces cerevisiae is exposed to freeze-thaw stress in commercial processes including frozen dough baking. The cell viability and fermentation activity after freeze-thaw were dramatically decreased due to freeze-thaw injury. Because freeze-thaw injury involves complex phenomena, the mechanisms of it are not fully understood. We attempted to analyze the mechanisms of freeze-thaw injury by indirect gene expression analysis during post-thaw incubation after freeze-thaw treatment using DNA microarray profiling. The results showed that a high frequency of the genes involved in the homeostasis of metal ions were up-regulated depending on the freezing period. The phenotype of the deletion mutants of the up-regulated genes extracted by indirect gene expression analysis was assessed. The deletion strains of the MAC1 and CTR1 genes involved in copper ion homeostasis exhibited freeze-thaw sensitivity, suggesting that copper ion homeostasis is required for freeze-thaw tolerance. Supplementation with copper ions during post-thaw incubation increased intracellular superoxide dismutase activity. Inverse correlated with intracellular superoxide dismutase activity, intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species were decreased. Moreover, cell viability increased by supplementation with copper ions under specific assessment conditions. This study suggested that insufficiency of copper ion homeostasis may be one of the causes of freeze-thaw injury.

Project description:In frozen dough baking technology, baker’s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae encounter freeze-thaw injury. After thawing, dramatically decrease in cell viability and fermentation activity is caused by freeze-thaw injury. The freezing period is critical factor in freeze-thaw injury, thus we focused and investigated time-dependent gene expression profiles in recovery process from freeze injury. First, changes in gene expression profiles in S. cerevisiae in recovery process from freeze-thaw injury were analyzed using a DNA microarray. The results showed the genes which were involved in homeostasis of metal ions were time-dependent up-regulated 2-fold or more in a series. Then we examined whether these genes were related to tolerance in freeze-thaw injury by using deletion strain. The results showed that deletion of MAC1, CTR1, and PCA1 genes which involved in copper ion transport exhibited freeze-thaw sensitivity in compared with wild type. These genes are involved in copper ion uptake to a cell under a copper deficiency condition or in copper ion homeostasis, suggesting that it may be related between freeze-thaw injury and copper ion transport. To determine the effect of supplementation of copper ion on cells after freeze-thaw treatment, cell viability, intracellular superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were examined by various copper ion condition medium. The results showed that intracellular SOD activity was increased and intracellular levels of ROS were decreased by supplementation of copper ion, but there was no significant difference in cell viability. These results of the present study may suggest that copper ion concentration in yeast cell after freeze-thaw treatment is important to recovery from freeze-thaw injury due to redox control of intracellular levels of ROS, but copper ion did not directly affect cell viability.

Project description:RNA-Seq is ubiquitous, but depending on the study, sub-optimal sample handling may be required, resulting in repeated freeze-thaw cycles. However, little is known about how each cycle impacts downstream analyses, due to a lack of study and known limitations in common RNA quality metrics, e.g., RIN, at quantifying RNA degradation following repeated freeze-thaws. Here we quantify the impact of repeated freeze-thaw on the reliability of downstream RNA-Seq analysis. To do so, we developed a method to estimate the relative noise between technical replicates independently of RIN. Using this approach we inferred the effect of both RIN and the number of freeze-thaw cycles on sample noise. We find that RIN is unable to fully account for the change in sample noise due to freeze-thaw cycles. Additionally, freeze-thaw is detrimental to sample quality and differential expression (DE) reproducibility, approaching zero after three cycles for poly(A)-enriched samples, wherein the inherent 3’ bias in read coverage is more exacerbated by freeze-thaw cycles, while ribosome-depleted samples are less affected by freeze-thaws. The use of poly(A)-enrichment for RNA sequencing is pervasive in library preparation of frozen tissue, and thus, it is important during experimental design and data analysis to consider the impact of repeated freeze-thaw cycles on reproducibility.

Project description:Frozen dough baking is useful method in the modern bread-making industry. However, the fermentation activity of baker’s yeast dramatically decreased after thawing due to freeze injuries, because baker’s yeast cells contained in dough experience freeze injuries during freeze-thaw processes. Here, we performed genome-wide expression analysis to determine genetic response in baker’s yeasts under freeze-thaw condition using a DNA microarray analysis. Functional and clustering analyses in gene expression reveal that genes could be characterized by the term of freeze-thaw stress. Under short-term freeze stress (freeze treatment for 3 day), genes involved in ribosomal protein were up-regulated. Under long-term freeze stress (freeze treatment for longer than 7 day), genes involved in energy synthesis were up-regulated. In each phase, genes involved in protein damage, several stresses and trehalose and glycogen metabolism were also up-regulated. Through these freeze stress, yeast cells may improve reduced efficiency of translation and enhanced cell protection mechanism to survive under freeze stress condition. These regulations of these genes would be controlled by the cAMP-protein kinase A pathway. Keywords: baker’s yeast, freeze-thaw stress, gene expression, freezing period

Project description:The freeze-thaw awakening is a method in which seeds or germ cells prior to germination are slowly cooled, stored, and thawed to promote growth. To further test the validity of this method, we applied freeze-thaw awakening treatment on papaya seeds. When the seed was grown under room temperature (15-25C), the germination rate increased by more than 40% compared to those that were not subjected to the method. At 60 days post germination, the plant’s height was about 1.4 times as high as that of the untreated control. In addition, when both samples were grown in the field for about a year and a half, the treated showed darker green leaf color and an increase of seedlings per seed compared to the control. No significant difference in weight per fruit was observed. Comprehensive gene expression analysis of papaya leaves using RNA-seq showed more than 1000 differentially expressed genes, of which had genes involved in plant hormone synthase and environmental stress response. From these results, we show here that freeze-thaw-awakening is an effective method in promoting papaya growth.

Project description:Freeze-thaw stress causes various cellular damages, survival and proliferation defects, and metabolic alterations, although how cells cope with it is poorly understood. In this study, model dough fermentations using two different strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae baker’s yeast were compared after two-week cell preservation in the refrigerator or in the freezer. As a result, one strain specifically exhibited a decreased fermentation rate after exposed to freeze-thaw stress. A DNA microarray analysis of the cells during fermentation revealed that the genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation were upregulated after the freeze-thawing process in the stress-sensitive strain, suggesting a metabolism switching from glycolysis to respiration. In the identical strain, however, most of the genes that encode the components of the proteasome complex were commonly downregulated, and ubiquitinated proteins were highly accumulated by freeze-thaw stress. In the cells with a laboratory-strain background, treatment with a proteasome inhibitor MG132 or deletion of each transcriptional activator gene for the proteasomal genes (RPN4, PDR1, or PDR3) led to a marked decrease in the rate of model dough fermentation using the frozen cells. Based on these data, degradation of freeze-thaw damaged proteins by proteasome may guarantee the high fermentation performance. Furthermore, a heterozygous dominant-negative PDR3 allele (A148T/A229V/H336R/L541P) was found in the diploid genome of the stress-sensitive baker’s yeast strain, which may be associated with the decreased fermentation rate. Removal of such responsible mutations may improve the freeze-thaw stress tolerance and the fermentation performance of baker’s yeast strains, as well as other industrial S. cerevisiae yeast strains.
