Project description:Chlamydomonas reinhardtii strain CC849 is seclected to sequence its transcriptome at different times under normal and stress conditions.Before we conducted RNA-sequencing at 0h (start point) and other seven timepoints(24hour, 48hour, 72hour, 96hour, 120hour, 168hour, 192hour) under normal and stress condition, respectively. These data are contained in GSE100763. Now, we add the RNA-seq data at 4hour, 12hour under normal and stress condition, respectively.
Project description:Photosynthetic organisms coordinate their metabolism and growth with diurnal light, which can range in intensity from limiting to inhibitory. To gain a comprehensive understanding of how diurnal regulatory circuits interface with sensing and response to various light intensities, we performed a systems analysis of synchronized Chlamydomonas reinhardtii populations acclimated to low, moderate, and high diurnal light. Transcriptomic and proteomic data revealed that Chlamydomonas’ rhythmic gene expression program is resilient to limiting and excess light. Although gene expression is dynamic over the diurnal cycle, Chlamydomonas populations acclimated to low and high diurnal light exhibit constitutive phenotypes with respect to photosystem abundance, thylakoid architecture, and non-photochemical quenching that persist through the night. This suggests that cells harbor a “memory” or anticipation of the daylight environment. The integrated data constitute an excellent resource for understanding gene regulatory mechanisms and photoprotection in eukaryotes under environmentally relevant conditions.
Project description:RNA populations in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Keywords: Highly parallel pyrosequencing Small RNAs were prepared from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii total extracts,ligated to a 3' adaptor and a 5' acceptor sequentially, and then RT-PCR amplified. PCR products were reamplified using a pair of 454 cloning primers and provided to 454 Life Sciences (Branford, CT) for sequencing.

Project description:The metabolites derived from microalgae have been attributed with various nutritional and medicinal properties. Therefore, our study aimed to investigate the potential beneficial effects of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (red), a type of microalgae, in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Mice were fed on high-fat diet and injected with a low dose of streptozotocin to induce T2DM. The diabetic mice were orally treated with either 1% sodium carboxymethylcellulose or Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (red) at doses of 1, 2, or 3 g/kg BW/day for a duration of 4 weeks. The liver sections were subjected to hematoxylin and eosin staining as well as oil red staining for the detection of pathological changes and lipid deposition, respectively. Inflammatory factors in serum were quantified using ELISA kits, while commercial kits were employed to assess oxidative stress-related indicators. Gene expression in liver was analysed by RNA-seq. The results revealed that Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (red) significantly ameliorated fasting blood glucose levels, body weight, triglyceride, and low density lipoprotein cholesterin, while also enhancing oral glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity. In pathological analysis, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (red) significantly improved lipid deposition and hepatic tissue damage. Furthermore, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (red) could obviously decreased the protein expression of G-6-Pase and PEPCK, and regulated the SOCS2/JAK2/STAT5 signaling pathway. Transcriptomic analysis indicated that a total of 972 significantly differentially expressed genes in diabetic mice treated with Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (red). KEGG analyses revealed that lipid and atherosclerosis, MAPK signaling pathway, B cell receptor signaling pathway, TNF signaling pathway, NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway were involved in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (red) modulated process. Therefore, the continuous consumption of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (red) may have anti-T2DM effects through the inhibition of gluconeogenesis, thus offering a promising alternative for T2DM patient.
Project description:We analysed global gene expression changes in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii in response to 1h UV-B, applied at the same low level that was seen to promote subsequent UV-B stress tolerance, in order to elucidate the transcriptional reprogramming that leads to UV-B acclimation. mRNA profiles generated by deep sequencing from triplicate replicate Chlamydomonas reinhardtii samples sourced from independent cultures either protected from UV-B or exposed to 1h acclimation-level UV-B.

Project description:It is highly necessary to understand the molecular mechanism underlying the salt stress response in green algae, which may contribute to finding the evolutionary cues of abiotic stress response in plants.In the present study, we examined the gene expression pattern in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii GY-D55 cells at different time points, from early stage (2-24 h) to late stage (up to 96 h).
Project description:Here, we report on the transcriptome of the organelles of the micro-alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, sampled under a number of different conditions. The preparation of the RNA-Seq libraries and their analysis were performed using protocols optimized for organellar transcripts. Samples include growth in media +/– Fe, growth in media +/– Cu, diurnal growth samples collected in dark and light, and the sexual cycle.
