A Snapshot of RNA Expression in a Single Segment of the Kidney Reveals Stimulus Specific Responses

ABSTRACT: The identification of acute kidney disease at the time of patient encounter remains a central problem in clinical medicine. A single analyte, the serum creatinine (sCr) is currently in use as a surrogate for tubular, vascular, or interstitial cellular damage. Nonetheless the sCr test is not specific to kidney injury, but rather might reflect physiological responses to a the primary disease in a distant organ. In addition, while cellular events occur over minutes or hours, sCr requires 24 hours or more to reach a worrisome clinical threshold or demonstrate further deterioration of tissue function and architecture. Here we have adapted the method of Gay et al, Genes Dev. 2013 27(1):98-115. doi: 10.1101/gad.205278.112. to allow cell specific labelling of RNA at the time of our choosing after an injury. The technique involves the cell specific expression of a uracil phosphoribosyltransferase (Uprt) and the subsequent purification of 4-thio-uracil labelled nascent RNAs. Using this technique focused on the collecting duct, we found that a model of volume depletion and a model of ischemic damage, both of which raise the sCr do not activate the same cohort of genes nor the same pathways of gene expression. Hence, a snapshot of newly synthesized RNA reveals the complexity subsumed by diagnostic classifications dependent on sCr (called 'AKI'). We suggest that the Uprt technique will allow characterization of each cell type in the nephron at multiple time points after the onset of injury. These data will replace our current diagnostic strategies with Precision Medicine.

To investigate 4-TU labelling kinetics in a novel zebrafish transgenic line (lf:UPRT). [Adult SLAM-Itseq]

Project description:To understand 4-TU labelling kinetics in a novel zebrafish transgenic line (lf:UPRT), we exposed adult lf:UPRT zebrafish (whereby animals have hepatocyte-specific uracil phosphoribosyltransferase expression) with 4-TU for 1, 3, 6 and 9 hours. We then dissected adult livers for SLAM-ITseq to determine the optimal 4-TU labelling time in our SLAM-ITseq workflow to allow us to study hepatocyte-specific nascent transcriptional changes.

Cell-specific analysis of mRNA synthesis and decay

Project description:Abstract: Standard microarrays measure mRNA abundance, not mRNA synthesis, and therefore cannot identify the mechanisms that regulate gene expression. We have developed a method to overcome this limitation by using the salvage enzyme uracil phosphoribosyltransferase (UPRT) from the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii. T. gondii UPRT has been well characterized because of its application in monitoring parasite growth: mammals lack this enzyme activity and thus only the parasite incorporates (3)H-uracil into its nucleic acids. In this study we used RNA labeling by UPRT to determine the roles of mRNA synthesis and decay in the control of gene expression during T. gondii asexual development. We also used this approach to specifically label parasite RNA during a mouse infection and to incorporate thio-substituted uridines into the RNA of human cells engineered to express T. gondii UPRT, indicating that engineered UPRT expression will allow cell-specific analysis of gene expression in organisms other than T. gondii. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.

TU-tagging: cell type specific RNA isolation from intact complex tissues

Project description:We show that the combination of spatially restricted uracil phosphoribosyltransferase (UPRT) expression with 4-thiouracil (4TU) delivery can be used to label and purify cell type specific RNA from intact complex tissues. This method is useful for isolating RNA from cell types that are difficult to isolate by dissection or dissociation methods and should work in any organism where UPRT can be spatially expressed, including mammals and other vertebrates. To confirm that thio-labeled RNA was from UPRT-expressing cells and demonstrate the utility of TU-tagging for cell type-specific RNA isolation, we purified TU-tagged and untagged RNA and compared them using microarrays. We chose to isolate RNA from larval glia, which are present in low number, are highly dispersed, and have a complex cell morphology, making them one of the most difficult cell types to isolate by dissection or dissociation methods. We used reversed polarity (repo)-GAL4 to drive expression of UAS-UPRT specifically in glial cells of the larval brain. We purified TU-tagged and untagged RNA from 72-96h larval brains, and hybridized them to custom Agilent microarrays. We performed two biological replicate experiments.

Transcription profiling of Toxoplasma gondii thiouracil pulse-chase, tachyzoites and bradyzoites mRNA stability data

Project description:Pulse chase measurements using thiouracil (DTU) labeling via UPRT and chasing with uracil Data from tachyzoites is labeled "DTU Pulse Chase". Two independent pulse chase experiments were performed in tachyzoites, pulse chase 1 and 2. Duplicate arrays at each timepoint were performed for pulse chase 2 (2 a and b). Data from bradyzoites are labeled "DTU Bradyzoite Pulse Chase". Two independent pulse chase experiments were performed in bradyzoites and a single set of arrays were performed for each experiment. Just one chase timepoint was used in the bradyzoite experiments, the 2 hour chase.

The SHR/SCR pathway directly activates genes involved in asymmetric cell division in the Arabidopsis root

Project description:Asymmetric division of cortex/endodermal initials (CEI) in the Arabidopsis root generates two layers of ground tissue and is controlled by a finely orchestrated interplay between the transcription factors, SHORT ROOT (SHR) and SCARECROW (SCR). To understand the dynamics of the SHR/SCR regulatory network we performed microarray time course experiments using inducible versions of SHR and SCR and examined their transcriptional effects specifically in the ground tissue. Keywords: SHR and SCR time course and CEI cell-type analyses
