Project description:Dosage compensation restores a balanced network of gene expression between autosomes and sex chromosomes in males (XY) and females (XX). In mammals, this is achieved by doubling the expression of X-linked genes in both sexes, together with X inactivation in females. X up-regulation may be controlled by DNA sequence based and/or epigenetic mechanisms that double the X output potentially in response to an autosomal counting factor. Human triploids with either one or two active X chromosomes (Xa) provide a mean to test X chromosome expression in the presence of three sets of autosomes, which will help understand the underlying mechanisms of X up-regulation. We measured whole genome gene expression in human triploid cell cultures with either one or two active X. We found that overall X-linked gene expression is not tripled in the presence of three sets of autosomes. However, in triploid cells with a single active X chromosome, its expression is adjusted upward, presumably by an epigenetic mechanism that senses the active X-autosome ratio. Six human XXX triploid fibroblast clones with either one or two active X, three XYY triploid fibroblast cultures, and two male (XY) and two female (XaXi) control diploid fibroblast cultures were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix whole genome expression arrays (HG-U133 2.0 plus chip). Probe labeling, array hybridization and scanning were done by the University of Washington Microarray Center.

Project description:Current commercially available feeds for salmon are predominantly made of plant ingredients, with consequent changes to the composition and contents of a range of nutrients and other components in the diet. There are concerns that, with these major changes in raw materials, new feeds will affect not only the composition and contents of nutrients, but also the bioavailability and, combined with the limited knowledge of micronutrient requirements for Atlantic salmon, this might impact growth performance and health of the fish. The present study investigated the effects of graded levels of a micronutrient package supplemented to feeds formulated with low levels of marine ingredients and fed to diploid and triploid Atlantic salmon throughout the freshwater phase. Specifically, fish were fed three diets containing low levels of FM and FO and identical in formulation other than being supplemented with 3 levels (L1, 100 %; L2, 200 % and L3, 400 %) of a micronutrient mix formulated as a modification of current nutrient levels reported for salmon. Duplicate groups of diploid and triploid parr were fed the experimental diets from around 30 g to seawater transfer and the effects on growth performance, feed efficiency, biochemical composition, liver histology, hepatic gene expression (transcriptome) and smoltification efficiency determined. Microarray analysis revealed that the hepatic transcriptome profile of diploid fish fed diet L2 was more similar to that observed in triploids fed diet L3 than to those fed L2, suggesting that micronutrient requirements of triploid salmon may differ from levels accepted in diploid salmon. Different levels of micronutrient supplementation affected the expression of key genes involved in lipid metabolism. In particular sterol biosynthesis pathways (steroid and terpenoid backbone synthesis) were down-regulated in both L2-fed diploids and L3-fed triploids when compared with diet L1-fed diploids and triploids, respectively. Gene sets analysis showed an up-regulation of genes involved in immune processes in triploid salmon fed diet L3. Another biological category affected by diet in triploid salmon was genetic information processing. In fish fed diet L3 down-regulation of RNA degradation, proteasome, RNA polymerase, spliceosome and ribosome was observed, suggesting a decrease in protein turnover in this group, which may indicate a decrease in energy expenditure. In addition, one-carbon metabolism was affected by diet in diploid and triploid salmon.

Project description:Production of sterile fishes through artificial retention of a third set of chromosomes (triploidy) is a sustainable alternative for aquaculture since it reduces pressure on wild populations. However, these fishes have reduced survival in stressful conditions and in response to pathogens. In this study, the impact of Vibrio anguillarum infection on diploid and triploid Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) was investigated to identify if there was any significant regulation by microRNAs (miRNA) in immune responsive tissues. Small RNAs from hindgut, head kidney, and spleen were sequenced to determine miRNA transcript abundance was altered due to ploidy and infection in nine-month old full-sibling diploids and triploids. Diploids had higher percent survival at the end of the infection, but no difference was found in mortality between the two ploidies. All three tissues had differentially expressed miRNA prior to infection, indicating that subtle changes in epigenetic regulation due to increased ploidy. Additionally, miRNA were altered by infection, but only in spleen was there a difference in miRNA expression between diploids and triploids after three days of infection. Furthermore, one miRNA (ssa-miR-2188-3p) was confirmed as having an altered response to infection in triploids compared to diploids, implicating potential immune dysregulation due to increased ploidy. The miRNAs identified in this study are predicted to target immune pathways, providing evidence for their importance in regulating responses to pathogens. This study is the first to investigate how increased ploidy alters miRNA expression in response to infection. Additionally, it provides evidence for epigenetic dysregulation in triploid fishes, which may contribute to their poor performance in response to stress.

Project description:Polyploidization, the increase in genome copies, is considered a major driving force for speciation. We have recently provided the first direct in planta evidence for polyspermy induced polyploidization. Capitalizing on a novel sco1-based polyspermy assay, we here show that polyspermy can selectively polyploidize the egg cell, while rendering the genome size of the ploidy-sensitive central cell unaffected. This unprecedented result indicates that polyspermy can bypass the triploid block, which is an established postzygotic polyploidization barrier. In fact, we here show that most polyspermy-derived seeds are insensitive to the triploid block suppressor admetos. The robustness of polyspermy-derived plants is evidenced by the first transcript profiling of triparental plants and our observation that these idiosyncratic organisms segregate tetraploid offspring within a single generation. Polyspermy-derived triparental plants are thus comparable to triploids recovered from interploidy crosses. Our results expand current polyploidization concepts and have important implications for plant breeding.

Project description:Background Triploidy can occur in all species but is often lethal in birds and mammals. In amphibian, invertebrates and numerous species of fishes, triploid animals are viable and undistinguishable from diploid individuals. Gametogenesis is often affected and most animals are sterile for at least one sex, and gametes for the other sex are often unfertile. Although the majority of triploid oysters are sterile (beta individuals, 3nb), a low but persistent proportion of male and female animals produce gametes (alpha individuals, 3na). Thus, oysters constitute a unique model to study the effect of triploidy on germ cells development of both male and females. In this study, we used microarray to study the consequences of polyploidy on triploid oyster germ cells mitosis and meiosis. Results We compared the transcriptome of gonads of 3na and 3nb oyster gonads over the course of gametogenesis to the transcriptome of diploid (2n) oyster gonads. This study allowed us to reveal an increase in DNA repair and apoptosis through the NF-kappaB pathway, and a decrease in actin remodeling and chromatin remodeling in all 3n oysters. The comparison of 3na and 3nb individuals with 2n revealed that a pachytene checkpoints may be responsible for the success in gametogenesis of 3na individuals and for the observed delay in gametogenesis. However, the sterility of 3nb individuals can be explained by a disruption of sex determinism mechanisms. Indeed 3nb females express male-specific genes including enkurin and an Elav-like gene, and 3nb males express female-specific genes including Forkhead box L2 and beta-catenin. Conclusions Our results bring back to the front of the research field the questions of genetic sex determinism, mitosis/meiosis control, pachytene checkpoint, and cell type specific DNA damage pathways. Furthermore, this study identifies numerous new candidate genes which function should now be studied in details in oysters and in other triploid animals in order to elucidate the complex mechanisms involved in the regulation of triploid cells division. Triploid spats were obtained by crossing tetraploid males and diploid females in the ifremer experimental hatchery (La tremblade, Charente Maritime, France). We performed microarray analysis on a total of 35 individual triploid gonads that can be grouped as follow: 3n stage 0 (4 individuals), 3n alpha Stage 1 (8 individuals), 3n beta Stage 1 (8 individuals), 3n alpha Stage 3 male (4 individuals), 3n beta Stage 3 male (3 individuals), 3n alpha Stage 3 female (4 individuals), and 3n beta stage 3 female (4 individuals).

Project description:How allopolyploids are able not only to cope but profit from their condition is a question that remain elusive, but of great importance within the wide context of successful hybrid polyploid evolution. One outstanding example of successful allopolyploidy is the endemic Iberian S. alburnoides fish complex. Previously, based on the evaluation of 7 genes, it was reported that the transcription levels between diploid and triploid hybrid S. alburnoides were similar. If this phenomenon would occur on a full genomic scale, a wide functional diploidization could be related to the success of polyploids. We generated RNA-seq data from whole juvenile fish and from an adult tissue, to perform the first comparative quantitative transcriptomic analysis between ploidy levels of a vertebrate allopolyploid. We found 64% in juvenilesM-b full body samples and 44% in liver samples of similar expression between diploid and triploid hybrids, and those genes are mostly involved in processes of basal biological maintenance of the cells. Yet, respectively only 29% and 15% of transcripts presented accurate dosage compensation. Therefore, an exact functional diploidization of the triploid genome does not occur, but globally a significant down regulation of gene expression in triploids was observed. We find that for those genes which show similar expression levels in diploids and triploids, expression in triploids is not globally strictly proportional to gene dosage nor is it set to a perfect diploid level. This quantitative flexibility of expression may be a strong contributor to overcome the 'genomic shock', and be an immediate evolutionary advantage of allopolyploids. Genotypes: Squalius alburnoides is an allopolyploid cyprinid, resulting from interspecific hybridization between females of Squalius pyrenaicus (P genome) and males of a now extinct species related to Anaecypris hispanica (A genome). S. alburnoides natural populations arecomposed of animals of different ploidy levels and genomic constitutions (different genotypes). The predominant S. alburnoides complex intervenients in the Iberian Peninsula southern rivers are the hybrid triploid PAA, diploid PA, the parental-like diploid AA and the parental species S. pyrenaicus PP.

Project description:Polyploidy, the presence of more than two sets of chromosomes within the nucleus, is a common phenomenon among plants that has shaped genome organization and is thought to be a major driver of speciation. The triploid block acts as a reproductive barrier that prevents successful backcrosses of newly formed polyploids with their progenitors. It is established in the endosperm, an ephemeral tissue that nurtures the developing embryo. Here we show that paternal 21/22 nucleotide epigenetically activated small interfering RNAs (easiRNAs) in Arabidopis thaliana are responsible for the establishment of the triploid block associated seed abortion. This dramatic phenotype is overcome when crosses are performed with a paternal mutant in the plant specific RNA polymerase IV (Pol IV). Loss of Pol IV reduces both easiRNAs and hetsiRNAs in the pollen grain. Seeds derived from crosses between wild type tetraploid fathers and diploid mothers have reduced levels of hetsiRNAs and cytosine methylation at transposable elements (TEs), indicating that they have suffered an excess of epigenetic reprogramming due to an excess of paternally derived easiRNAs. Paternal Pol IV mutants are able to buffer that easiRNA excess and rescue the abortion phenotype by rescuing both the cytosine methylation level at TEs and the 24 nt hetsiRNA accumulation levels. This mechanism highlights the elegant and important TE regulation mechanism controlled by the plant specific Pol IV that takes place pre-fertilization and regulates paternal easiRNAs and maternal hetsiRNAs, and determines the post-fertilization epigenetic stability and seed viability.

Project description:Heterosis occurs where F1 offspring display superior characteristics to the parents. Heterosis is usually considered to result from crosses of genetically distinct (e.g. homozygous inbred) parents producing heterozygous F1 offspring. Most mechanistic models for heterosis require genetically heterozygous F1 hybrid offspring harbouring allelic diversity. Epigenetic or dosage models for heterosis could allow for heterosis effects in F1 offspring that display no allelic diversity with their parents. Reciprocal inter-ploidy crosses between diploid (2x) and tetraploid (4x) lines in the same genetic background generates genetically identical F1 triploids (3x). Such reciprocal F1 triploids differ according to whether the additional chromosome set is either maternally (maternal excess) or paternally inherited (paternal excess). Biomass accumulation and abiotic stress tolerance between the parental (2x and 4x) and reciprocal F1 triploid (3x) offspring of Arabidopsis thaliana accession C24 reveals a strong parental genome-dosage induced heterosis in the paternal-excess triploid F1 plants. In these F1 triploids, the circadian clock related genes CCA1 and TOC1, and the growth factors PIF4 and PIF5, display different expression levels compared to the non-heterotic maternal excess F1 triploid siblings. Whole transcriptome profiling reveals a paternal genome dosage effect on gene expression levels with strong enrichment for dysregulated abiotic stress-related genes in the paternal excess F1 triploids. This study demonstrates that heterosis can be triggered without allelic diversity in F1 triploid plants. Heterosis without heterozygosity in plants can be induced via an epigenetic “chromosome imprinting” like parental genome dosage effect requiring paternal transmission of an additional chromosome set
