Project description:To determine the transcriptional program of HSF-1 in lifespan assurance in C. elegans, we coupled HSF-1 depletion specifically from the soma by auxin-inducible degron (AID) with RNA-seq analyses in whole animals. Depletion of HSF-1 from the soma was performed by transferring worms that express the E3 ligase TIR1 in somatic tissues and carry AID insertion to the endogenous HSF-1 onto NGM plates containing 1mM auxin (indole- 3-acetic acid, Sigma). The mock treatment was done by transferring worms to plates only containing the vehicle ethanol (EtOH). We analyzed the transcriptomic changes by RNA-seq upon soma-specific depletion of HSF-1 initiated at young adult stage for different length of time. We included the strains that only express TIR1 but do not have degron insertion at HSF-1 (CA1200) to control for the effects of auxin treatment and AID insertion into HSF-1. We performed analyses in the wild-type background (JTL611) as well as in the longlived, germline stem cell (GSC) arrested glp-1(e2141) mutant (JTL667). The AID model in fem-3(q20) mutant (JTL670) was included as a control for JTL667. JTL670 (fem-3) is sterile at 25°C as JTL667 (glp-1) but has normal lifespan.

Project description:Sequence-specific transcription factors (TFs) are critical for specifying patterns and levels of gene expression, but the DNA elements to which they can bind are not always sufficient to specify their binding in vivo. In eukaryotes, the binding of a TF is in competition with a constellation of other proteins, including histones which package DNA into nucleosomes. Here, we examine using the ChIP-seq assay, the genome-wide distribution of Drosophila Heat Shock Factor (HSF), a TF whose binding activity is mediated by heat shock-induced trimerization. We detect HSF binding to 464 sites, the vast majority of which contain HSF Sequence-binding Elements (HSEs) in Drosophila S2 cells, but these HSF-bound sites represent only a small fraction of HSEs present in the genome. We find a strong correlation of bound HSEs to active chromatin marks present prior to HSF binding, indicating an HSEM-bM-^@M-^Ys residence in open chromatin is a primary determinant of whether HSF can bind following heat shock. A single mock immunoprecipitation (IP) using the pre-innoculated animal serum was used as a background dataset for this study. For each condition (NHS and 20minute HS), we performed two independent HSF-ChIP-seq experiments. In addition, we performed two independent HSF-ChIP-seq experiments for each condition (NHS and 20minute HS) in cells that were highly depleted of HSF by RNAi.

Project description:Purpose: We used RNA-Seq to compare the gene expression profiles in two long-lived C. elegans strains: (1) animals with a loss-of-function mutation in the hsb-1 gene, and (2) animals overexpressing hsf-1 under its endogenous promoter. Previous studies indicated that life span extension in both these strains is hsf-1-dependent. Methods: mRNA-Seq profiles for three biological replicates each of day 1 adult wild-type (N2 strain), hsb-1 mutant and hsf-1 overexpression strains were generated using 50 bp single-end sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform. The sequencing reads that passed quality control were aligned to the C. elegans reference transcriptome (WS220 release) using Bowtie 2 and splicing junctions were mapped using TopHat. Cufflinks was used to calculate FPKM values and CuffDiff 2 was used to identify differentially expressed genes based on the following two criteria: false discovery rate (FDR)-adjusted p value < 0.05 and fold-change ≥ 1.5. Results: Using our mRNA-Seq workflow, we mapped at least 14 million reads per sample to the C. elegans transcriptome at greater than 96 percent alignment rate for the raw reads. Expression of 7,478 genes was found to be significantly altered in the hsf-1 overexpression strain relative to wild-type worms, while only 1,855 genes had singnificantly different expression in the hsb-1 mutant strain relative to wild-type. Using our criterion of ≥ 1.5-fold change in gene expression, we found 1,820 and 662 genes to be differentially expressed relative to wild-type in hsf-1 overexpression and hsb-1 mutant strains, respectively. The 247 genes that were differentially expressed in both hsf-1 overexpression and hsb-1 mutant strains showed a strongly correlated expression pattern in the two strains. Conclusions: hsf-1 overexpression induces global transcriptional suppression in C. elegans. Genetic ablation of hsb-1 produces similar life span extension in worms as hsf-1 overexpression, but alters expression of a much smaller subset of the C. elegans transcriptome. Hence, HSB-1 is a specific regulator of the transactivation potential of HSF-1 that selectively modulates gene expression relevant to longevity determination in worms.

Project description:In order to recover nuclei with two active X chromosomes (class I), we developed a reprogramming strategy by supplementing hESC media with the small molecules sodium butyrate, and 3-deazaneplanocin A (DZNep). In order to determine how B+D affects global gene expression, we performed microarray analysis in triplicate in the HSF-6 (8) C and HSF-6 (8) B+D treated cultures. We also evaluated HSF-6 (S9) B+D in triplicate and identified no statistically significant changes in gene expression in HSF-6 (S9) B+D compared to HSF-6 (8) B+D treated cultures. This suggests that global transcriptional differences are more strongly modulated by presence or absence of B+D and not the percentage of class I, II or III nuclei. We performed gene expression profiling on hESC HSF-6 (8, S9) in absent (control) and presence of butyrate and DZNep. All cell were collected after 11 passages in absent and presence of butyrate and DZNep.

Project description:Endogenous and exogenous stresses elicit transcriptional responses that limit damage and promote cell/organismal survival. Like its mammalian counterparts, Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 4 (HNF4) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor a (PPARa), Caenorhabditis elegans NHR-49 is a well-established regulator of lipid metabolism. Here, we reveal that NHR-49 is essential to activate a transcriptional response common to organic peroxide and fasting, which includes the pro-longevity gene fmo-2/flavin-containing monoxygenase. These NHR-49-dependent, stress-responsive genes are also upregulated in long-lived glp-1/notch receptor mutants, and two of them contribute to increased oxidative stress resistance in wild-type worms and long-lived glp-1 mutants. Similar to its role in lipid metabolism, NHR-49 requires the Mediator subunit mdt-15 to promote stress-induced gene expression. However, NHR-49 acts independently from the transcription factor hlh-30/TFEB that also promotes fmo-2 expression. Similarly, activation of the p38 MAPK, PMK-1, which is important for adaptation to a variety of stresses, is only important for peroxide-induced expression of a subset of NHR-49-dependent genes, including fmo-2. Notably, we find that organic peroxide increases NHR-49 protein levels, apparently by a post-transcriptional mechanism that does not require PMK-1 activation. Together these findings establish a new role for the HNF4/PPARa-related NHR-49 as a stress-activated regulator of cytoprotective gene expression.
