Effects of ambient temperature on DNA accessibility in nuclear chromatin of Drosophila S2R+ cells [ATAC-seq]

ABSTRACT: Cells in ectothermic organisms often maintain homeostatic function over a considerable range of ambient temperatures. However, as temperature has pronounced effects on all biological processes, but not necessarily in a uniform manner on each of the myriad of distinct processes, cellular acclimation to ambient temperature change is predicted to involve complex regulation, including the transcriptional level. To study effects of changes in ambient temperature on chromatin accessibility, we performed ATAC-Seq with S2R+ cells, a line derived from embryos of the ectothermic organism Drosophila melanogaster. Aliquots of S2R+ cells were exposed to different temperatures (14, 25 and 29°C) within the readily tolerated range before analysis with ATAC-Seq.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Stool metabolites provide essential insights into the function of the gut microbiome. The current gold standard for storage of stool samples for metabolomics is flash-freezing at - 80 °C which can be inconvenient and expensive. Ambient temperature storage of stool is more practical, however no available methodologies adequately preserve the metabolomic profile of stool. A novel sampling kit (OMNImet.GUT; DNA Genotek, Inc.) was introduced for ambient temperature storage and stabilization of feces for metabolomics; we aimed to test the performance of this kit vs flash-freezing. To do this stool was collected from an infant's diaper was divided into 2 aliquots: 1) flash-frozen and 2) stored in an OMNImet.GUT tube at ambient temperature for 3-4 days. Samples from the same infant were collected at 2 different timepoints to assess metabolite changes over time. Subsequently, all samples underwent metabolomic analysis by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).RESULTS: Paired fecal samples (flash-frozen and ambient temperature) from 16 infants were collected at 2 timepoints (32 individual samples, 64 aliquots). Similar numbers of metabolites were detected in both the frozen and ambient temperature samples (1126 in frozen, 1107 in ambient temperature, 1064 shared between sample types). Metabolite abundances were strongly correlated between storage methods (median Spearman correlation Rs = 0.785 across metabolites). Hierarchical clustering analysis and principal component analysis showed that samples from the same individuals at a given timepoint clustered closely, regardless of the storage method. Repeat samples from the same individual were compared by paired t-test, separately for the frozen and OMNImet.GUT. The number of metabolites in each biochemical class that significantly changed (p < 0.05) at timepoint 2 relative to timepoint 1 was similar in flash-frozen vs ambient temperature storage. Changes in microbiota modified metabolites over time were also consistent across both methodologies.CONCLUSION: Ambient temperature storage and stabilization of stool in the OMNImet.GUT device yielded comparable metabolomic results to flash freezing in terms of 1) the identity and abundance of detected biochemicals 2) the distinct metabolomic profiles of subjects and 3) changes in metabolites over time that are plausibly microbiota-induced. This method potentially provides a more convenient, less expensive home collection and storage option for stool metabolomic analysis.
