Project description:Soils are a huge reservoir of organic C, and the efflux of CO2 from soils is one of the largest fluxes in the global C cycle. Out of all natural environments, soils probably contain the greatest microbial biomass and diversity, which classifies them as one of the most challenging habitats for microbiologists (Mocali and Benedetti, 2010). Until today, it is not well understood how soil microorganisms will respond to a warmer climate. Warming may give competitive advantage to species adapted to higher temperatures (Rinnan et al., 2009). The mechanisms behind temperature adaptations of soil microbes could be shifts within the microbial community. How microbial communities will ultimately respond to climate change, however, is still a matter of speculation. As a post-genomic approach in nature, metaproteomics allows the simultaneous examination of various protein functions and responses, and therefore is perfectly suited to investigate the complex interplay between respiration dynamics, microbial community architecture, and ecosystem functioning in a changing environment (Bastida et al., 2012). Thereby we will gain new insights into responses to climate change from a microbial perspective. Our study site was located at 910 m a.s.l. in the North Tyrolean Limestone Alps, near Achenkirch, Austria The 130 year-old mountain forests consist of Norway spruce (Picea abies) with inter-spread of European beech (Fagus sylvatica) and silver fir (Abies alba). Three experimental plots with 2 × 2 m warmed- and control- subplots were installed in 2004. The temperature difference between control and warmed plots was set to 4 °C at 5 cm soil depth. Soil was warmed during snow-free seasons. In order to extract proteins from forest soil samples, the SDS–phenol method was adopted as previously described by Keiblinger et al. (2012). Protein extractions were performed from each subplot soil samples. The abundance of protein-assigned microbial phylogenetic and functional groups, were calculated based on the normalized spectral abundance factor (NSAF, Zybailov et al., 2006).

Project description:The experiments were performed to elucidate the enigmatic enzymatic formation of the pungent principle, piperine, from black pepper (Piper nigrum L.), the world´s most popular spice. Based a differential RNA-Seq approach including immature fruits, flowers, and leaves, the gene encoding piperine synthase, encoding a BAHD-type acyltransferase and several other candidate genes encoding various enzymatic functions in the biosynthetic pathway were identified. Recombinant piperine synthase and additional promiscuous piperamide synthases were used to facilitate the microbial production of a broad range of medicinally relevant piperamides. Subsequent investigations will also include the identification of enzymatic steps in the phenylpropanoid pathway and the amino acid derived biosynthesis of piperidine Based on the assumption that piperine encoding genes are highly expressed shortly before the slope of piperine accumulation reaches its maximum, RNA from greenhouse grown black pepper plants was extracted from young fruits at two different stages of development, flowers, and leaves were harvested for a differential RNA-Seq approach. Candidate transcripts associated with piperine biosynthesis were identified by comparative transcript abundance and sequence annotation tools.

Project description:To explore the mechanism underlying antioxidant activity of extracts from black soybean sprouts 0.5 cm long, Agilent-016772 G. max (Soybean) Oligo Microarray 4x44K was used to compare mRNA expression between the black soybean sprouts 0.5 cm long (n=4) and the black soybean sprouts 5 cm long (n=4). GO term enrichment analysis showed ten up-regulated genes (BE823689.1_567, GMFL01-02-F14-R_381, GMFL01-03-G22-R_364, GMFL01-14-M12-R_553, GMFL01-51-M23-R_265, AW757007.1_297, AW761420.1_260, BI788389.1_501, BQ273202.1_332 and GMFL01-10-I14-F_701) in the 0.5 cm seedlings were associated with response to oxidative stress. qRT-PCR assay confirmed the up-regulation of these ten genes in sprouts 0.5 cm long. In conclusion, these ten genes may contribute to antioxidant activity of sprout extract. Gene expressions in black soybean sprouts were measured using Agilent-016772 G. max (Soybean) Oligo Microarray 4x44K. Four independent experiments were performed in each group using different sprout sample.

Project description:In pancreatic cancer clinical trials, Black patients are under-represented while having higher morbidity and mortality rates as compared to other racial groups. Multiple factors, including socioeconomic and lifestyle factors may contribute to this disparity, but genomic contributions remain unclear. In an exploratory project to identify genes that may contribute to differences in survival between Black and White patients with pancreatic cancer, transcriptomic sequencing of over 24,900 genes was performed in human pancreatic tumor and non-tumor tissue obtained from Black and White patients. Over 4,400 genes were differentially expressed in tumor and non-tumor tissue, irrespective of race. Of these 4,400 genes, four (AGR2, POSTN, TFF1, and CP) met the pre-defined statistical threshold for upregulation in pancreatic tumor tissue; these findings were confirmed by quantitative PCR. Transcriptomic analysis of pancreatic tumor tissue in Black and White patients revealed differential expression in 1,200 genes. Non-tumor and tumor gene expression differences within each race were assessed, revealing over 1,500 tumor-specific differentially expressed genes in pancreatic tumor and non-tumor tissue from Black patients. We identified TSPAN8 as a potential tumor-specific gene significantly overexpressed in pancreatic tumor tissue in Black patients as compared to White patients. Using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis software to compare the race-associated gene expression profiles, over 40 canonical pathways were identified to be potentially impacted by the gene expression differences between the races. Heightened expression of TSPAN8 was associated with poor overall survival, suggesting TSPAN8 as one potential genetic factor contributing to the differential outcomes in Black patients with pancreatic cancer, supporting the potential utility of larger genomic studies to further explore the role of TSPAN8 in pancreatic cancer.

Project description:Sensitive models of climate change impacts would require a better integration of multi-omics approaches that connect the abundance and activity of microbial populations. Here, we show that climate is a fundamental driver of the protein abundance of microbial populations (metaproteomics), yet not their genomic abundance (16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing), supporting the hypothesis that metabolic activity may be more closely linked to climate than community composition.
