Transcriptional profile of C. elegans fed E. coli (OP50) and B. subtilis (PY79)

ABSTRACT: We used RNA-seq to assay gene expression changes over time in response to OP50 and PY79 To understand the molecular processes underlying aging, we screened modENCODE ChIP-seq data to identify transcription factors that bind to age-regulated genes in C. elegans. The most significant hit was the GATA transcription factor encoded by elt-2, which is responsible for inducing expression of intestinal genes during embryogenesis. Expression of ELT-2 decreases during aging, beginning in middle age. We identified genes regulated by ELT-2 in the intestine during embryogenesis, and then showed that these developmental genes markedly decrease in expression as worms grow old. Overexpression of elt-2 extends lifespan and slows the rate of gene expression changes that occur during normal aging. Thus, our results identify the developmental regulator ELT-2 as a major driver of normal aging in C. elegans.

For each condidtion, one replicate was sequenced at Day 4 and Day 13

C. elegans young adults cultured on Bacillus subtilis strain 67 vs cultured on E. coli OP50

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of C. elegans young adult worms cultured on non-pathogenic Bacillus subtilis strain 67 versus age-matched worms cultured on the control lab food E. coli OP50. The goal was to identify genes regulated in response to differences in diet, which potentially confer immunity to later exposures to pathogenic Bacillus thuringiensis DB27.

C. elegans young adults: Exposed to Serratia marcescens versus exposed to E. coli OP50 : 4 hours

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of C. elegans young adult worms exposed to pathogen Serratia marcescens for 4 hours versus age-matched worms exposed to control lab food E. coli OP50. The goal was to identify genes regulated in response to pathogen. The broader goal of study was to study evolution of pathogen response by comparing this expression profile to that obtained by exposing the nematode Pristionchus pacificus to the same pathogen. Other experiments which are a part of this study include expression profiling of C. elegans and P. pacificus on other pathogens including Bacillus thuringiensis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Xenorhabdus nematophila. One-condition experiments. C. elegans young adults: Exposed to Serratia marcescens versus exposed to E. coli OP50 : 4 hours. 4 biological replicates for each condition, including 2 dye-swaps.
