Project description:Depression is a complex and heterogeneous disorder and a leading contributor to the global burden of of disease. Most previous research has focused on individual brain regions and individual genes that contribute to depression. However, emerging evidence in both humans and animal models suggests that dysregulated circuit function and gene expression across multiple brain regions drive depressive phenotypes. Here we use a bioinformatics approach intersecting differential expression analysis with weighted gene co-expression network analysis to identify transcriptional networks that regulate susceptibility to depressive-like symptoms in mice. We performed RNA-sequencing on multiple brain regions from control animals and those either susceptible or resilient to chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) at multiple time points after defeat. We bioinformatically identified several transcriptional networks that regulate depression susceptibility, and in vivo manipulations of these networks confirmed their functional significance at the levels of gene transcription, synaptic regulation, and behavior. Our findings reveal novel transcriptional networks that control stress susceptibility and offer fundamentally new leads for antidepressant drug discovery.

Project description:The increased susceptibility of ripe fruit to fungal pathogens poses a substantial threat to crop production and marketability. Here, we coupled transcriptomic analyses with mutant studies to uncover critical genes and processes governing ripening-associated susceptibility in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruit. Using wild-type unripe and ripe fruit inoculated with three fungal pathogens—Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium acuminatum, and Rhizopus stolonifer—we identified common pathogen response genes reliant on chitinases, WRKY transcription factors, and reactive oxygen species detoxification. Interestingly, susceptible ripe fruit demonstrated a more extensive defense response than resistant unripe fruit, indicating that the magnitude and diversity of defense response does not significantly impact the interaction. To tease apart individual features of ripening that may be responsible for susceptibility, we utilized three tomato non-ripening mutants: Cnr, rin and nor. Fruit from these mutants displayed different patterns of susceptibility to fungal infection. Functional analysis of the genes altered during ripening in the susceptible genotypes revealed losses in the maintenance of cellular redox homeostasis. Moreover, jasmonic acid accumulation and signaling coincided with the activation of defenses in resistant fruit. Lastly, based on high gene expression in susceptible fruit, we identified and tested two candidate susceptibility factors, pectate lyase (PL) and polygalacturonase (PG2a). CRISPR-based knockouts of PL, but not PG2a, resulted in more than 50% decrease in the susceptibility of ripe fruit, demonstrating that PL is a major susceptibility factor. Ultimately, this study demonstrates that targeting specific genes that drive susceptibility is a viable strategy to improve resistance of tomato fruit against fungal pathogens.

Project description:Recurrent exertional rhabdomyolysis (RER) develops in 5-10% of Thoroughbred racehorses. High-stress environments, nervous temperament, and diet influence the presentation of RER. RER-susceptibility is associated with alterations in intramuscular Ca2+ regulation with detrimental effects on mitochondria. Our study aims to determine underlying molecular drivers influencing RER-susceptibility by comparing the muscle proteome of control, RER-susceptible, and RER horses treated with dantrolene. Animals used in this study were Thoroughbred mares in race training between episodes of RER.

Project description:Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is a mental health condition that may develop after exposure to a traumatic event. The diagnosis of PTSD is based on clinical signs and symptoms; there is increasing evidence that biological markers aid in the diagnosis of PTSD. In a Dutch military cohort, we compared blood-based transcriptomic profiles of individuals susceptible and resilient to developing PTSD symptoms after combat-trauma exposure. Whole blood samples were collected from susceptible (n=20) and resilient (n=20) military personnel deployed to Afghanistan, 6 months after returning from military deployment.

Project description:Histamine H3 receptor (Hrh3/H3R) is primarily expressed by neurons in the central nervous system (CNS) where it functions as a presynaptic inhibitory autoreceptor and heteroreceptor. Previously, we identified an H3R-mediated central component in susceptibility to experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), the principal autoimmune model of multiple sclerosis (MS), related to neurogenic control of blood brain barrier permeability and peripheral T cell effector responses. Furthermore, we identified Hrh3 as a positional candidate for the EAE susceptibility locus Eae8. Here, we characterize Hrh3 polymorphisms between EAE-susceptible and resistant SJL and B10.S mice, respectively, and show that Hrh3 isoform expression in the CNS is differentially regulated by acute peripheral inflammatory stimuli in an allele-specific fashion. Next, we show that Hrh3 is not expressed in any subpopulations of the immune compartment, and that secondary lymphoid tissue is anatomically poised to be regulated by central H3R signaling. Accordingly, using transcriptome analysis, we show that, inflammatory stimuli elicit unique transcriptional profiles in the lymph nodes of H3RKO mice compared to WT mice, which is indicative of negative regulation of peripheral immune responses by central H3R signaling. These results further support a functional link between the neurogenic control of T cell responses and susceptibility to CNS autoimmune disease coincident with acute and/or chronic peripheral inflammation. Pharmacological targeting of H3R may therefore be useful in preventing the development and formation of new lesions in MS, thereby limiting disease progression. 8 pooled samples from at least 3 mice per pool

Project description:Purpose: Soybean aphid (Aphis glycines Matsumura; SBA) is major pest of soybean (Glycine max) in the United States of America. One previous study on soybean, soybean-aphid interactions showed that avirulent (biotype 1) and virulent (biotype 2) biotypes can co-occur and potentially interact on resistant and susceptible soybean resulting induced susceptibility. The main objective of this research was to employ RNA sequencing technique to characterize the induced susceptibility effect in which initial feeding by virulent aphids can increase the suitability of avirulent aphids in both susceptible and resistant cultivars. Methods: The data in this submission come from the green house experiment using two genotypes of soybean: susceptible soybean cultivar was LD12-15838R and the resistant cultivar was LD12-15813Ra (with Rag1 gene) and two aphid populations: biotype 1 (avirulent) and biotype 2 (virulent biotype 2). RNA was extracted from the leave samples from resistant and susceptible cultivars treated with no aphids, biotype 2: biotype1 collected at day 1 and no aphids, biotype 2: biotype1 and no aphids: biotype1 at day 11 using PureLink RNA mini kit (Invitrogen, USA). RNA samples were treated with TURBOTM DNase (Invitrogen, USA) to remove any DNA contamination following the manufacturer’s instructions. Assessment of the isolated RNA integrity was performed by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis, and RNA concentration was measured by Nanodrop 2000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA). Three replicates from these treatments in resistant and susceptible cultivars were pooled in equimolar concentration. RNAseq library construction was prepared using Illumina’s TruSeq Stranded mRNA Kit v1 (San Diego, CA). The libraries were quantified by QuBit dsDNA HS Assay (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) and pooled in equimolar concentrations. The libraries were sequenced on an Illumina NextSeq 500 using a NextSeq 500/550 High Output Reagent Cartridge v2 (San Diego, CA) at 75 cycles. Results: A total of 10 RNA libraries were prepared and sequenced with the sequencing depth ranging from 24,779,816 to 29,72,4913. Total reads of 266,535,654 were subjected to FastQC analysis to determine the data quality using various quality metrics such as mean quality scores, per sequence quality scores, per sequence GC content, and sequence length distribution. The phred quality scores per base for all the samples were higher than 30. The GC content ranged from 45 to 46% and followed the normal distribution. After trimming, more than 99% of the reads were retained as the clean and good quality reads. Upon mapping these reads, we obtained high mapping rate ranging from 90.4% to 92.9%. Among the mapped reads, 85.8% to 91.9% reads were uniquely mapped. Conclusions: The objective of this study is to characterize the mechanism of induced susceptibility in soybean via transcriptional response study of soybean in presence of biotype 1 and biotype 2 soybean aphids using RNA-Seq. The data resulted from this study might provide insights into the interactions between soybean and soybean aphids and identify genes, their regulation and enriched pathways that may be associated with resistance or susceptibility to A. glycines.

Project description:Genetic determinants of susceptibility to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) remain poorly understood but could provide insights into critical pathways involved in infection, informing host-directed therapies and enabling risk stratification at individual and population levels. Through a genome-wide forward genetic screen, we identify the Toll-like Receptor 8 (TLR8), as a key regulator of intracellular killing of Mtb. Pharmacological TLR8 activation enhances killing of phylogenetically diverse clinical isolates of drug-susceptible and multidrug-resistant Mtb by macrophages and during in vivo infection in mice. TLR8 is activated by phagosomal mycobacterial RNA released by extracellular membrane vesicles, and enhances xenophagy-dependent Mtb killing. We find that the TLR8 variant, M1V, common in far eastern populations, enhances intracellular killing of Mtb through preferential signal-dependent trafficking to phagosomes. TLR8 signalling may therefore both regulate susceptibility to tuberculosis and provide novel drug targets.

Project description:Blackspot bruising is the tuber discoloration resulting from mechanical damage in susceptible crops and is a major quality and environmental problem for the potato industry. The present study is aimed at identifying differences in gene expression which are correlated with the development of bruise susceptibility or resistance in tubers. This may produce markers or diagnostic tests for use in predicting enhanced bruise susceptibility in field grown potato crops. Different potato cultivars were grown in field plots at ADAS Gleadthorpe, Nottinghamshire, UK during three growing seasons – 2003, 2004 and 2005. Random samples of tubers (8) were harvested by hand and cores excised from the subdermal tissues of the stolon end of the tubers and immediately frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen for RNA isolations. The remainder of the crops were stored at 4oC for bruise susceptibility testing - samples of tubers (30) from each crop were impacted and incubated for 48h at 30oC. Bruise susceptibility was scored, according to the intensity of pigmentation and the volume of tuber tissue affected, on a scale of 0 (very resistant) – 10 (very susceptible). Crops representing 'very susceptible', 'susceptible', 'moderate' and 'resistant' to bruising, were selected for RNA isolation. Total RNA’s were isolated from frozen cores by the TIGR hot phenol extraction method, precipitated by LiCl and treated with DNase. RNA concentrations were adjusted to ~2ug/ul and analysed on 1% TBE gels after formamide treatment. Any RNA’s which were not pure enough or showed degradation were discarded. Total RNA’s were pooled and 25ul samples aliquotted according to the required hybridisations indicated in the Excel spreadsheet and the on-line information form.

Project description:Chronic stress is a key risk factor for a variety of diseases, but the determinants of individual stress susceptibility are still unclear. Using a recently developed paradigm for chronic social stress in mice we identified animals that were resistant or susceptible to the persistent effects of chronic stress exposure. Gene expression analysis in laser-microdissected hippocampal subfields of both groups revealed differentially regulated AMPA receptor subunits, which might affect the susceptibility of an individual to chronic social stress. To test this hypothesis, animals were treated with the AMPA receptor potentiator LY451646 or vehicle during the last 4 weeks of chronic stress exposure. Enhanced AMPA receptor function in chronically stressed animals ameliorated the lasting effects of the chronic stress exposure on physiological, neuroendocrine and behavioural parameters. Our data suggest that differences in AMPA receptor function may underlie individual stress susceptibility and support AMPA receptor potentiators as potential medication in stress-related diseases. Keywords: phenotype, chronic stress, AMPA We have subjected 120 individuals to the chronic social stress procedure, which was recently shown to result in robust effects on neuroendocrine and behavioural parameters (Sterlemann V, 2008). Following the stress procedure all animals were single housed for 7 days. Corticosterone secretion was significantly increased in the chronic stress group compared to controls after one week of single housing. Within the chronic stress group we observed a large variation, where some individuals had recovered from the stress procedure, while others still showed a largely increased corticosterone secretion. After 4 more weeks of single housing, the difference in basal corticosterone secretion between the animals susceptible to chronic stress and unsusceptible or control subjects was still evident. From the group extremes in the chronically stressed animals we selected the 6 most-affected and the 6 most resistant individuals. To investigate the mechanisms underlying the observed differences in individual stress susceptibility between these mice we laser dissected the CA1 and the dentate gyrus region of the hippocampus in the selected mice and performed a gene expression profiling analysis. Pooled amplified RNA samples were then hybridised on Illumina mouse BeadChips (N=4 per group) and detected in the Illumina BeadArray Reader (Illumina, Inc., San Diego, CA).
