Project description:The Cdk7/cyclin H/menage-a-trois 1 (MAT1) heterotrimer has proposed functions in transcription as the kinase component of basal transcription factor TFIIH and is activated in adult hearts by hypertrophic pathways. Using cardiac-specific Cre, we ablated MAT1 in myocardium. Despite reduced Cdk7 activity, MAT1-deficient hearts grew normally. However, fatal heart failure ensued at 6-8 weeks. By microarray profiling, quantitative RT-PCR, and Western blotting at 4 weeks, genes for energy metabolism were found to be suppressed selectively, including targets of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1 (PGC-1). Cardiac metabolic defects were substantiated in isolated perfused hearts and isolated mitochondria. In culture, deleting MAT1 with Cre disrupted PGC-1 function: PGC-1α failed to activate PGC-1-responsive promoters and nuclear receptors, GAL4-PGC-1α was functionally defective, and PGC-1β likewise was deficient. PGC-1 was shown to interact with MAT1 and Cdk7, in co-precipitation assays. Thus, we demonstrate an unforeseen essential role for MAT1 in operation of the PGC-1 family of co-activators. Experiment Overall Design: MAT1F/F mice (Korsisaari et al., 2002) were bred with mice expressing Cre recombinase under the control of the cardiomyocyte-specific α-myosin heavy chain (αMHC) promoter (Gaussin et al., 2002a) and back-bred to MAT1F/F mice to generate the cardiac-specific knockout (αMHC-Cre+/0; MAT1F/F; CKO; Fig. 1A, B). Control mice were αMHC-Cre+/0; MAT1F/+ littermates, differing by the presence of one wild-type MAT1 allele, and excluding Cre-mediated toxicity as a basis for phenotypic disparity. Cardiac RNA samples were analyze at 2 or 4 weeks of age (N = 3-5 for each condition tested.

Project description:The potential for sexual reproduction in Aspergillus oryzae was assessed by investigating the presence and functionality of MAT genes. Previous genome studies had identified a MAT1-1 gene in the RIB40 reference strain. We now report the existence of a complimentary MAT1-2 gene and sequencing of an idiomorph region from A. oryzae strain AO6. This allowed the development of a PCR diagnostic assay, which detected isolates of MAT1-1 and MAT1-2 genotype among 180 strains assayed including industrial tane-koji isolates. Strains used for sake and miso production showed a near 1:1 ratio of MAT1-1 and MAT1-2 mating-types, whereas strains used for soy sauce production showed a significant bias towards the MAT1-2 mating type. MAT1-1 and MAT1-2 isogenic strains were then created by genetic manipulation of the resident idiomorph, and comparisons were made of gene expression by DNA microarray and RT-PCR methodologies under conditions when MAT genes were expressed. 33 genes were found to be up-regulated greater than 10-fold in either the MAT1-1 host or MAT1-2 gene replacement strains relative to each other, showing that both MAT1-1 and MAT1-2 genes functionally regulate gene expression in A. oryzae in a mating-type dependent manner, the first such report from a supposedly asexual fungus. MAT1-1 expression specifically up-regulated an a-pheromone precursor gene, but most genes affected were of unknown function. Results are consistent with a heterothallic breeding system in A. oryzae, and prospects for the discovery of a sexual cycle are discussed.

On a condition that induces mating-type genes descrived in growth protocol section, each cogenic MAT1-1 and MAT1-2 mating-type strains were processed into RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. In a speculation that genes involved in putative mating process were reguated in mating-type dependent manner, we designed the cogenic strains that differs only in mating-type gene locus to analyze differential gene expression of MAT1-1 vs MAT1-2 strains.

Project description:Title: Total Skeletal Muscle PGC-1 Deficiency Uncouples Mitochondrial Derangements from Fiber Type Determination and Insulin Sensitivity Abstract: Evidence is emerging that the PGC-1 coactivators serve a critical role in skeletal muscle metabolism, function, and disease. Mice with total PGC-1 deficiency in skeletal muscle (PGC-1α-/- βf/f/MLC-Cre mice) were generated and characterized. PGC-1α-/-βf/f/MLC-Cre mice exhibit a dramatic reduction in exercise performance compared to single PGC-1α- or PGC-1β-deficient mice and wild-type controls. The exercise phenotype of the PGC-1α-/-βf/f/MLC-Cre mice was associated with a marked diminution in muscle oxidative capacity and mitochondrial structural derangements consistent with fusion/fission and biogenic defects together with rapid depletion of muscle glycogen stores during exercise. Surprisingly, the skeletal muscle fiber type profile of the PGC-1α-/-βf/f/MLCCre mice was not significantly different than the wild-type mice. Moreover, insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance were also not altered in the PGC-1α-/-βf/f/MLC-Cre mice. Taken together, we conclude that PGC-1 coactivators are necessary for the oxidative and mitochondrial programs of skeletal muscle but are dispensable for fundamental fiber type determination and insulin sensitivity. RNA from PGC-1alpha-/- beta f/f/Mlc1fcre was obtained and gene expression pattern compared with PGC-1alpha -/-, PGC-1beta f/f, and PGC-1beta f/f/Mlc1fCre controls. Results file descriptions: 1.

Project description:Background/Aims:Increasing evidence have associated mitochondrial dysfunction and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation to neuron loss in multiple sclerosis (MS). PGC-1α regulates mitochondrial biogenesis and respiration and plays a pivotal role in modulating ROS levels. Here, we investigated the potential function of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ co-activator-1α (PGC-1α) in the mammalian MS disease model, EAE experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Methods:We used WT mice to evaluate the change of PGC during the course of EAE. The transgenic mice with neuron-specific overexpression of PGC-1α was applied to explore how PGC1 in neuron affects EAE outcome. A neuronal cell line of lentivirus transfection leading to PGC-1α markedly increased was applied to verify the protective effects of PGC1 in neurons. RNA-seq was employed to explore the potential target genes and signaling pathways. Results: We observed that PGC-1α were decreased at 13d, continuously decreased at 20d, then mildly increased at 30d in wild-type (WT) EAE mice, which is accompanied with alterations of mitochondrial antioxidants SOD2, Prx3, Trx2 and UCP4,5. Our study revealed that PGC-1αf/f Eno2-Cre mice improved EAE clinical symptoms, ameliorated inflammation and demyelination in spinal cords, increased mitochondrial antioxidants SOD2, Prx3, Trx2 and UCPs, reduced the production of ROS and inhibited the apoptotic pathways. In addition, PGC-1αf/f Eno2-Cre mice showed decreased apoptotic neurons compared with the WT EAE mice. In vitro, overexpressing PGC-1α by lentivirus transfection revealed similar results with that of in vivo by using NSC-34 cells treated with 1mg/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Furthermore, RNA-seq analysis showed that apoptotic processes were significantly enriched in the top 10 significant GO terms of differentially expressed (DE) gene and apotosis pathway was significantly enriched in KEGG pathway analysis. Conclusion: Taken together, our findings indicate that upregulation of neuronal PGC-1α protected neuron apotosis in EAE and in vitro.

Project description:The β-adrenergic receptor signaling pathway is a major component of adaptive thermogenesis in brown and white adipose tissue during cold acclimation. The β-AR activation highly induces transcriptional coactivator PGC-1α and its splice variant N-terminal (NT)-PGC-1α, promoting the transcription program of mitochondrial biogenesis and thermogenesis. In the present study, we evaluated the role of NT-PGC-1α in brown adipocyte energy metabolism by genome-wide profiling of NT-PGC-1α-responsive genes. Canonical pathway analysis revealed that a number of genes upregulated by NT-PGC-1α are highly enriched in mitochondrial pathways including fatty acid transport and β-oxidation, TCA cycle and electron transport system, thus reinforcing the crucial role of NT-PGC-1α in the enhancement of mitochondrial function. Moreover, gene expression profiling of NT-PGC-1α revealed activation of distinct metabolic pathways such as glucose, lipid and nucleotide metabolism and of signaling pathways such as RAR and PPAR-γ/RXRα activation in brown adipocytes. Together, our data strengthen our previous findings that NT-PGC-1α is a key regulator of mitochondrial oxidative metabolism and thermogenesis in brown adipocytes and further suggest that NT-PGC-1α influences a broader spectrum of thermogenic processes to meet cellular needs for adaptive thermogenesis. Two samples from two groups: NT-PGC-1α overexpression and empty vector. There are technical replicates (A and B) for each group. Two RNA samples were pooled for each group.
