Expression data from Arabidopsis leaves after gamma irradiation of 200 Gy

ABSTRACT: Arabidopsis cmt3 mutant showed neither DNA hypomethylation nor transcriptional activation of silenced repeats by gamma rays, which was found in wild type (WT). We used microarrays to compare the global transcriptional changes between the WT and cmt3 after the irradiation of 200 Gy. Transcriptions of transposition-related genes seemed to be differently affected in the WT and cmt3 by gamma rays, depending on the epigenetic codes of the genome. However, genome-wide transcriptions of the WT and cmt3 couldn't be positively correlated with the different levels of DNA methylation after the irradiation of 200 Gy.

Project description:Biological response X-rays traditionally serves as a standard in comparative analysis of different qualities of ionizing radiation. Most such studies have utilized 2-dimensional culture systems, which may not fully represent responses in 3-dimensional tissues. To gain insight into biological responses to X-rays in tissue, we have profiled global gene expression in EPI-200, a 3-dimensional tissue model that imitates the structure and function of human epidermis, at 4, 16 and 24 hours after exposure to 2.5 Gy of X-rays. The most significant gene ontology groups were associated with cell cycle, cytokinesis, establishment and maintenance of chromatin architecture. Remarkably, genes with a role in cell cycle were predominantly downregulated at all time points while genes involved in the cell defense response - upregulated. Methyltransferases were predominantly upregulated at 4 and 16h while transcription factors - at 16h and 24h suggesting remodeling of the chromatin. Among the genes with a role in signal transduction, irradiation affected kinase modulators and microtubule binding motor proteins at all time points. Kinases, especially non-receptor serine/threonine protein kinases were predominantly upregulated at 16 and 24h suggesting a rearrangement in the signaling pathways. The results also confirm involvement in the biological response of the genes participating in p53 pathway that were overrepresented at 4 and 16h in the set of upregulated genes and ubiquitin proteasome pathway that were predominantly downregulated at 16h and 24h In the same time, growing numbers of altered in expression genes: 449 at 4h; 720 and 3986 genes - at 16 and 24h postirradiation, accordingly suggested that ionizing radiation caused long term changes in the gene expression the exceeded the time frame proposed for this study. Radiation induced gene expression in 3-dimensional tissue model, Epi-200, was measured at 4, 16 and 24 hours after exposure to the dose of 2.5 Gy of X-rays. Three independent experiments were performed in the each time point using one tissue sample per a data point.
