The tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris dramatically upregulates DNA repair pathway genes in response to ionizing radiation [Bleo_RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Tardigrades can survive remarkable doses of ionizing radiation, up to about 1000 times the lethal dose for humans. How they do so is incompletely understood. We found that the tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris suffers DNA damage upon gamma irradiation, but damage is repaired. We show that tardigrades have a specific and robust response to ionizing radiation: irradiation induces a rapid and dramatic upregulation of many DNA repair genes. By expressing tardigrade genes in bacteria, we validate that increased expression of some repair genes can suffice to increase radiation tolerance. We show that at least one such gene is necessary for tardigrade radiation tolerance. Tardigrades’ ability to sense ionizing radiation and massively upregulate specific DNA repair pathway genes may represent an evolved solution for maintaining DNA integrity.

The tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris dramatically upregulates DNA repair pathway genes in response to ionizing radiation [IR_RNA-seq]

Project description:Tardigrades can survive remarkable doses of ionizing radiation, up to about 1000 times the lethal dose for humans. How they do so is incompletely understood. We found that the tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris suffers DNA damage upon gamma irradiation, but damage is repaired. We show that this tardigrade has a specific and robust response to ionizing radiation: irradiation induces a rapid upregulation of many DNA repair genes. This upregulation is unexpectedly extreme, making some DNA repair transcripts among the most abundant transcripts in the animal. By expressing tardigrade genes in bacteria, we validate that increased expression of some repair genes can suffice to increase radiation tolerance. We show that at least one such gene is important for tardigrade radiation tolerance. We hypothesize that tardigrades’ ability to sense ionizing radiation and massively upregulate specific DNA repair pathway genes may represent an evolved solution for maintaining DNA integrity.

RNA-Seq analysis of developmental, juvenile, and anhydrobiotic stages of Hypsibius dujardini and Ramazzottius varieornatus

Project description:Limno-terrestrial tardigrades enter a state called anhydrobiosis when exposed to desiccation, and acquire tolerance against various extreme environments. The anhydrobiotic tardigrade Hypsibius dujardini, is a non-pigmented tardigrade easy to culture and RNAi method have been established, therefore making it a model tardigrade for tardigrade molecular research. Previous genome assemblies of this tardigrade had increased size due to heterozygosity. Here, we have sequenced the genome of H. dujardini using single individual Illumina DNA-Seq data and PacBio long read data, and employed a heterozygosity aware assembly method to assemble a near-complete high quality genome. In order to annotate the genome with gene predictions, we conducted RNA-Sequencing of various stages of developmental, juvenile, adult, and anhydrobiotic stage H. dujardini and Ramazzottius varieornatus, a tardigrade capable of rapid anhydrobiosis entry, and used these data for gene prediction with BRAKER v1.9 or differential gene expression analysis of the active and anhydrobiotic stages.

Radiation-induced epigenetic DNA methylation modification of radiation-response pathways

Project description:Treatment of tumors with ionizing radiation for cancer therapy induces biological responses that include changes in cell cycle, activation of DNA repair mechanisms, and induction of apoptosis or senescence programs. What is not known is whether ionizing radiation induces an epigenetic DNA methylation response or whether epigenetic changes occur in genes in pathways classically associated with the radiation response. We exposed breast cancer cells to 0, 2, or 6 Gy and determined global DNA methylation at 1, 2, 4, 8, 24, 48, and 72 hours post-irradiation. We found that radiation treatment resulted in a DNA methylation response and that cell cycle, DNA repair, and apoptosis pathways were enriched in genes are were differentially-methylated. DNA methylation profiling of ionizing radiation treated cells using the Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip.

Microarray analysis of the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus exposed to gamma irradiation

Project description:The remarkable survival of the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus to ionizing radiation was previously demonstrated. Using a time course study and whole-genome microarray analyses of mRNA transcript levels, the genes and regulatory pathways involved in the repair of lesions produced by ionizing irradiation (oxidative damage and DNA strand breaks) in P. furiosus were investigated. Data analyses showed that radA, encoding the archaeal homolog of the RecA/Rad51 recombinase, was moderately up regulated by irradiation and that a putative DNA-repair gene cluster was specifically induced by exposure to ionizing radiation. This novel repair system appears to be unique to thermophilic archaea and bacteria and is suspected to be involved in translesion synthesis. Genes that encode for a putative Dps-like iron-chelating protein and two membrane-bound oxidoreductases were differentially expressed following gamma irradiation, potentially in response to oxidative stress. Surprisingly, the many systems involved in oxygen detoxification and redox homeostasis appeared to be constitutively expressed. Finally, we identified several transcriptional regulators and protein kinases highly regulated in response to gamma irradiation. Keywords: time course

Ma2005-digital response of p53 to DNA damage-ATM Activation Module

Project description:Recent observations show that the single-cell response of p53 to ionizing radiation (IR) is “digital” in that it is the number of oscillations rather than the amplitude of p53 that shows dependence on the radiation dose. We present a model of this phenomenon. In our model, double-strand break (DSB) sites induced by IR interact with a limiting pool of DNA repair proteins, forming DSB–protein complexes at DNA damage foci. The persisting complexes are sensed by ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), a protein kinase that activates p53 once it is phosphorylated by DNA damage. The ATM-sensing module switches on or off the downstream p53 oscillator, consisting of a feedback loop formed by p53 and its negative regulator, Mdm2. In agreement with experiments, our simulations show that by assuming stochasticity in the initial number of DSBs and the DNA repair process, p53 and Mdm2 exhibit a coordinated oscillatory dynamics upon IR stimulation in single cells, with a stochastic number of oscillations whose mean increases with IR dose. The damped oscillations previously observed in cell populations can be explained as the aggregate behavior of single cell

Radiation tolerance mechanism of Deinococcus radiodurans using lable-free proteomics

Project description:Even though these results have shown several key proteins played an import role in radiation tolerance mechanism of DR, they were lack of the deep protein coverage, global protein analysis as well as the dynamic changes of DR, which limits further understanding of biological changes in response to ionizing radiation. To the best of our knowledge, the global and specific radiation tolerance mechanism of DR has not been elucidated yet. Therefore, a label-free quantitative proteomics was applied to conduct a systematic and comprehensive proteomic analysis on DR after 6 kGy γ-irradiation at different time point. Differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) with a fold-change cutoff were reported. These proteins, providing a deep understanding of the molecular response to ionizing radiation.

Radiotolerance of Rhodospirillum rubrum S1H

Project description:In the present study, the susceptibility of the purple pigmented photosynthetic alphaproteobacterium Rhodospirillum rubrum S1H to gamma irradiation was investigated and its molecular response was characterised by means of gene expression analysis. R. rubrum S1H appears to be about 4 times more sensitive than the model strain Escherichia coli MG1655 to cobalt-60 gamma irradiation. Whole genome response of R. rubrum to 25 Gy revealed the common expression of SOS response related genes in both rich and minimal media. Quantitative expression of the lexA gene was followed after various recovery time following gamma irradiation and showed differential gene expression pattern between minimal and rich medium. This work paves the way for forthcoming molecular studies on the effect of ionizing radiation on R. rubrum S1H and the other MELiSSA strains. Keywords: Rhodospirillum rubrum; ionizing radiation tolerance; microarray; quantitative PCR. Two-condition experiments. Comparing samples after exposure to gamma (Co-60) irradiation with a non-irradiated sample. At least biological duplicates. Each array contains 3 technical replicates.
