ZF4 cells were cultured at 28 °C as control and at 18 °C for 5 days and 30 days, seperately. Each condition has three biological replica.
Project description:The genomic distribution of post-translationally modified histones in the zebrafish (Danio rerio) genome remain largely unraveled. The objective of this study was to (1) design a microarray covering all zebrafish gene promoters and 5' end of coding regions, and (ii) using these arrrays, map the genome-wide distribution of trimethylated H3K4 and H3K27 in the mbryo derived ZF4 cell line. Specifically, we determined teh enrichment profile of H3K4me3, H3K27me3 and of both (co-enriched) modifications in ZF4 cells. We determined average enrichment profiles through metagene analysis, functional terms enriched among genes marked by either modification, and pathway analysis.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play vital roles in various biological processes by leading to mRNA cleavage or translational repression, and are also involved in multiple stress conditions. However, the detailed roles of miRNAs in cold acclimation in fish are still unclear. In the present study, high-throughput sequencing was performed to identify miRNAs from 6 small RNA libraries from the zebrafish embryonic fibroblast ZF4 cells under control (28°C, 30 days) and cold-acclimation (18°C, 30 days) conditions. A total of 414 miRNAs, 349 known and 65 novel, were identified. Among those miRNAs, 24 (19 known and 5 novel) were up-regulated, and 23 (9 known and 14 novel) were down-regulated in cold acclimated cells. The Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses indicated that the known differentially expressed miRNAs (DE-miRNA) are involved in cold acclimation by regulation of phosphorylation, cell junction, intracellular signal transduction, ECM-receptor interaction and so on. Moreover, dre-miR-100-3p inhibitor or dre-miR-16b mimics could protect ZF4 cells under cold stress, indicating the involvement of miRNA in cold acclimation. In summary, the present data show that miRNAs are closely involved in cold acclimation in fish and provide information for further understanding of the roles of miRNAs in cold acclimation.
Project description:Changes in gene expression are thought to be required for maintaining tissue's proper function under cold stress, but little is known about the role of each tissue in setting the cold tolerance ability in fish. Oreochromis niloticus and Danio rerio are two tropical fishes; they differ in their abilities of cold tolerance. In this study, both fishes were exposed to graded cold temperatures, ranging from 28°C to 18°C and 10°C, and the transcriptomes of 8 tissues at each tempeature were sequenced and compared. By characterizing tissue-based gene expression variation between the two fishes we identified some key tissue specific biological processes, which provide a better understating of the typical biological functions of tissues in physiological fitness under cold stress.
Project description:Growing evidence shows that miRNAs play essential roles in cell development by regulating the growth and differentiation of cell lineages. However, the potential roles of miRNA-mediated regulation in the environmental adaptation of organisms are largely unknown. To examine this potential regulatory capability, we systematically identified and compared the miRNAs of zebrafish brains under normal and cold-acclimated conditions using Solexa sequencing. We then predicted the potential target protein genes of the miRNAs and compared their gene expression profile patterns derived from microarray analyses. We defined a set of 25 differentially expressed miRNAs between the cold-acclimatized and normal zebrafish and predicted their functions based on the GO annotation of their targets. We also compared the expression of mRNAs and found that genes related to mRNA processing and response to stress were overrepresented among the up-regulated genes of the cold-stress condition. We analyzed the potential regulatory roles of these miRNAs on gene transcription patterns under low-temperature conditions using several statistical models and a novel, network-based approach. Our results indicate that these miRNAs, either individually or together and either directly or indirectly mediated by transcription factors (TFs), contribute a minor amount to the change in gene expression patterns under low-temperature conditions. Adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) were raised under the normal laboratory breeding temperature (28C) or subjected subjected to cold (10C) stress. After 10 days of cold adaption, the brains of the zebrafish were dissected, and total RNAs were extracted from these brains. Expressional profiles of miRNAs and mRNAs were detected through high-throughput Solexa sequencing and microarray respectively. This submission represents transcriptome component of study
