Transcriptomic plasticity of the hypothalamic osmoregulatory control centre of the Arabian dromedary camel

ABSTRACT: To investigate the central control of water homeostasis in the dromedary camel, we have performed transcriptomic studies on the supraoptic nucleus samples from camels under control (water ad libitum) and dehydrated (water deprivation for 20 days) conditions by RNA sequencing. We have identified genes that change in expression in response to hyperosmotic challenge and transcriptomic response networks that might be essential for adaptations of camel to live and thrive in aird desert environment.

Multiomic analysis of the Arabian camel (Camelus dromedarius) kidney reveals a role for cholesterol in water conservation

Project description:The one-humped Arabian camel (Camelus dromedarius) is the most important livestock animal in arid and semi-arid regions and continues to provide basic necessities to millions of people. In the current context of global warming, there is renewed interest in the adaptive mechanisms that enable camelids to survive in arid conditions. Recent investigations described genomic signatures that revealed evolutionary adaptations to desert environments. We now present a comprehensive catalogue of the transcriptomes and proteomes of the dromedary kidney and describe how the gene expression profiles of Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs) are modulated as a consequence of chronic dehydration and subsequent acute rehydration. We performed RNAseq and quantification of peptides in samples from 15 dromedaries (5 controls, 5 dehydrated and 5 rehydrated). Gene Ontology analyses suggested an enrichment of the cholesterol biosynthetic process and an overrepresentation of categories related to ion transmembrane transport in the camel kidney, and RTN analyses confirmed alterations in the transcriptional machinery involved in cholesterol synthesis. These data were validated by RT-qPCR. Based on our hypothesis of a role for cholesterol during dehydration, we identified DEGs with roles in the countercurrent multiplication process which are affected by changes in the level of cholesterol. Thus, we further validated differentially expressed genes with known roles in water conservation which are affected by changes in cholesterol levels. Our datasets suggest that suppression of cholesterol biosynthesis may facilitate water retention in the kidney by indirectly facilitating the AQP2-mediated water reabsorption.

We performed RNAseq and quantification of peptides in samples from 15 dromedaries (5 controls, 5 dehydrated and 5 rehydrated). Gene Ontology analyses suggested an enrichment of the cholesterol biosynthetic process and an overrepresentation of categories related to “ion transmembrane transport” in the camel kidney, and RTN analyses confirmed alterations in the transcriptional machinery involved in cholesterol synthesis. These data were validated by RT-qPCR. Based on our hypothesis of a role for cholesterol during dehydration, we identified DEGs with roles in the countercurrent multiplication process which are affected by changes in the level of cholesterol. Thus, we further validated 3 genes coding for ion transporting proteins (KCNJ8, SLC9A7 and ATP1B3) and AQP2, which were upregulated during dehydration. Our datasets suggest that suppression of cholesterol biosynthesis may facilitate water retention in the kidney of the dromedary by indirectly enhancing the osmotic gradient along the medullary interstitium and the AQP2-mediated water reabsorption.

Renal transcriptome of the desert adapted Jaculus jaculus during water restriction and rehydration

Project description:Jaculus jaculus were split into three experimental groups: control (water access ad libitum), dehydrated (11 days water restriction), and rehydrated (7 days water restriction followed by 3 days water ad libitum). Kidney samples were extracted and sequenced to investigate changes in gene expression during osmotic challenge in a desert adapted model.

Seasonal adaptations of the hypothalamo-neurohypophyseal system of the dromedary camel

Project description:The “ship of the desert”, the one-humped Arabian camel (Camelus dromedarius), has a remarkable capacity to survive in conditions of extreme heat without needing to drink water. One of the ways that this is achieved is through the actions of the antidiuretic hormone vasopressin (AVP) and the natriuretic hormone oxytocin (OXT), both of which are made in a specialised part of the brain called the hypothalamo-neurohypophyseal system (HNS), but exert their effects at the level of the kidney to, respectively, provoke water conservation and salt excretion. Interestingly, our electron microscopy studies have shown that the ultrastructure of the camel HNS changes according to season, suggesting that in the arid conditions of summer the dromedary’s HNS is in a state of permanent activation, in preparation for the likely prospect of water deprivation. Based on our camel genome sequence, we have carried out an RNAseq analysis of the camel HNS in summer and winter.

Characterization of seminal vesicle proteome of cactus field mouse (Peromyscus eremicus) in hydrated and dehydrated conditions

Project description:ABSTRACT: The cactus mouse (Peromyscus eremicus) is a desert-specialized rodent that experiences both chronic and acute dehydration in the Southwestern United States. Our previous research has generated substantial transcriptomic data on P. eremicus kidneys, testes, epididymis, and vas deferens in individuals exposed to hydrated and dehydrated conditions; however, the study described here is the first to describe a seminal vesicle proteome for this species. We have produced a seminal vesicle proteome from P. eremicus with free access to water and mice that were acutely dehydrated to generate a dataset that is comprehensive for both alternative water-availability states experienced by this species. We have also provided gene ontologies for this proteome using PANTHER. This proteome will provide a crucial resource for future studies characterizing the genetic and proteomic responses of reproductive tissues to drought in this rodent. Furthermore, an enhanced understanding of survival and reproductive responses (and adaptations) to dehydration is particularly relevant to clinical work aiming to minimize adverse human impacts as climate change continues to increase the incidence of drought.

Expression analysis of Streptococcus mutans UA159 under Hyperosmotic stress environment

Project description:Oral streptococci metabolize carbohydrate to produce organic acids, which not only decrease the environmental pH, but also increase osmolality of dental plaque fluid due to tooth demineralization and consequent calcium and phosphate accumulation. Despite these unfavorable environmental changes, the bacteria continue to thrive. The aim of this study was to obtain a global view on strategies taken by Streptococcus mutans to deal with physiologically relevant elevated osmolality, and perseveres within a cariogenic dental plaque. We investigated phenotypic change of S. mutans biofilm upon hyperosmotic challenge. We found that the hyperosmotic condition was able to initiate S. mutans biofilm dispersal by reducing both microbial content and extracellular polysaccharides matrix. We then used whole-genome microarray with quantitative RT-PCR validation to systemically investigate the underlying molecular machineries of this bacterium in response to the hyperosmotic stimuli. Among those identified 40 deferentially regulated genes, down-regulation of gtfB and comC were believed to be responsible for the observed biofilm dispersal. Further analysis of microarray data showed significant up-regulation of genes and pathways involved in carbohydrate metabolism. Specific genes involved in heat shock response and acid tolerance were also upregulated, indicating potential cross-talk between hyperosmotic and other environmental stress. Hyperosmotic condition induces significant stress response on S. mutans at both phenotypic and transcriptomic levels. In the meantime, it may take full advantage of these environmental stimuli to better fit the fluctuating environments within oral cavity, and thus emerges as numeric-predominant bacterium under cariogenic conditions.

Mild dehydration effects on the murine kidney single nucleus transcriptome and chromatin accessibility [RNA-seq]

Project description:The kidney is composed of > 40 cell types that work collectively to maintain fluid-electrolyte balance. If not enough fluid is consumed to remain in balance, then vasopressin is released and acts in the kidney to increase water reabsorption. Here the authors used kidney single nucleus multiome-sequencing to determine cell-specific transcriptomes and chromatin accessibility profiles of male and female control (ad libitum water and food) or mildly dehydrated mice (ad libitum food, water deprivation). There were hundreds of sex- and dehydration-specific differentially expressed genes throughout the kidney, most of which did not have a significant change in chromatin accessibility. Thus, even mild dehydration causes cell- and sex-specific transcriptomic changes even though the kidney function to conserve water is the same.
