Project description:ACC1 is known to rate limitng enzyme of fatty acid biosynthesis. We report that modulation of fatty acid biosynthesis pathway increased tonic expression of anti-viral genes. RNA sequence was conducted to compare global gene expression between control, ACC1 inhibitor (TOFA)-treated, ACC1 KO and IFNb-treated Th1 cells. We found that inhibition or deletion of ACC1 resulted in the enhancement of anti-viral genes expression as comparable level to IFNb-treated Th1 cells. This study provides a framework for the relationship between fatty acid biosynthesis pathway and anti-viral responses in CD4 T cells.

Project description:In plants, fatty acids are de novo synthesized predominantly in plastids fromacetyl-CoA. Although fatty acid biosynthesis has been biochemically well-studied, little isknown about the regulatory mechanisms of the pathway. Here, we show that overexpressionof the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) LEAFY COTYLEDON1 (LEC1) gene causesglobally increased expression of fatty acid biosynthetic genes, which are involved in keyreactions of condensation, chain elongation and desaturation of fatty acid biosynthesis. Inthe plastidial fatty acid synthetic pathway, over 58% of known enzyme-coding genes areupregulated in LEC1-overexpressing transgenic plants, including those encoding threesubunits of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, a key enzyme controlling the fatty acid biosynthesisflux. Moreover, genes involved in glycolysis and lipid accumulation are also upregulated.Consistent with these results, levels of major fatty acid species and lipids were substantiallyincreased in the transgenic plants. Genetic analysis indicates that the LEC1 function ispartially dependent on ABSCISIC ACID INSENSITIVE3, FUSCA3 and WRINKLED1 in theregulation of fatty acid biosynthesis. Moreover, a similar phenotype was observed intransgenic Arabidopsis plants overexpressing two LEC1-like genes of Brassica napus.These results suggest that LEC1 and LEC1-like genes act as key regulators to coordinate theexpression of fatty acid biosynthetic genes, thereby representing a promising target forgenetic improvement of oil-production plants.
Project description:We studied the MeJA response processes at four time points in Sindora glabra, which accumulates abundant sesquiterpenes in the tree trunk. Across the time course, differentially expressed genes involved in terpenoid backbone biosynthesis were significantly enriched, while JAZ genes involved in jasmonic acid pathway and TGA genes involved in salicylic acid pathway were significantly enriched at later time point after treatment.
Project description:Dendrobium plants are perennial herbs in the family Orchidaceae (Dendrobium Sw.). Due to protocorm can also produce plant-specific useful metabolites, protocorm is becoming a good substitute. MicroRNAs play essential roles in plant growth, development, and the response to environmental stresses, and they are widely used for prediction of molecular functions for biosynthesizing active comportments in medicinal plants. To obtain insight into the function of miRNAs in Dendrobium plants. Illumina sequencing of D. nobile protocorm, D. officinale protocorm and D. nobile leaf were conducted. A total of 439, 412 and 432 miRNAs were identified in three samples, and their expression levels were significantly different. Specially, 2, 12 and 4 specific miRNAs were identified. Through integrated GO and KEGG function annotation, miRNAs mainly involved in metabolic pathways, plant hormone signal transduction, biological regulation and protein binding. AACT, MK, DXR and HDS as important enzymes in synthesizing basic precursor isoprene pyrophosphate (IPP). were predicted controlled by 6 different miRNAs in terpenoid backbone biosynthesis pathway. 26 miRNAs participated in Auxin, Cytoklinine, Abscisic acid, Jasmonic acid and Salicylic acid signal transduction pathway. Our results could provide valuable information about miRNAs involved in terpenoid biosynthesis and plant hormone signal transduction pathway in D. nobile and candidate genes for increasing the yield of dendrobine.
Project description:The role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor M-NM-4 (PPARM-NM-4) activation on global gene expression and mitochondrial fuel utilization were investigated in human myotubes. Only 21 genes were up-regulated and 3 genes were down-regulated after activation by the PPARM-NM-4 agonist GW501516. Pathway analysis showed up-regulated mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation, TCA cycle and cholesterol biosynthesis. GW501516 increased oleic acid oxidation and mitochondrial oxidative capacity by 2-fold. Glucose uptake and oxidation were reduced, but total substrate oxidation was not affected, indicating a fuel switch from glucose to fatty acid. Cholesterol biosynthesis was increased, but lipid biosynthesis and mitochondrial content were not affected. This study confirmed that the principal effect of PPARM-NM-4 activation was to increase mitochondrial fatty acid oxidative capacity. Our results further suggest that PPARM-NM-4 activation reduced glucose utilization through a switch in mitochondrial substrate preference by up-regulating pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase isozyme 4 and genes involved in lipid metabolism and fatty acid oxidation. Keywords: Expression profiling by array Human myotubes from four donors were exposed to a PPARM-NM-4 agonist or control for 96 h after which gene expression was profiled.
