Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role as regulators of gene expression. In plants they affect a wide variety of biological process like growth, development and response to biotic and abiotic stress. Glycine max is one of the most important crop worldwide due to its rich protein and oil content. Drought and salt stress are the main abiotic stresses that affect soybean. Salt stress impacts the fisiology of the plants due to the damage in the photosynthetic rate, growth and development. This work aim to identify salt-stress responsive miRNAs and their respective targets in Glycine max using high-throughput RNA sequencing technology.

Project description:The CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) in colorectal tumors can be recognized by an increased frequency of aberrant methylation in a specific set of genomic loci. Because of the strong association of CIMP with high microsatellite instability (MSI-H), the identification of CIMP+ tumors within microsatellite stable (MSS) colorectal cancers may not be straightforward. To overcome this potential limitation, we have built an improved 7-loci set of methylation markers that includes CACNA1G, IGF2, RUNX3, HTR6, RIZ1, MINT31 and MAP1B. This new set of CIMP markers revealed a bimodal distribution of methylation frequencies in a group of 95 MSS colorectal cancers, which allowed a clearer separation between CIMP classes. Correlation of CIMP+ tumors with bio-pathological traits revealed significant associations with location to the proximal colon, mucinous histology and chromosomal stability. Although not statistically significant, a trend toward an adverse prognosis for CIMP+ cases was observed. Microarray analysis revealed that CIMP+ tumors are characterized by a unique expression profile, a result that confirms that CIMP+ tumors represent a distinct molecular class within MSS colorectal cancers. Moreover, our results suggest that this expression pattern may represent the molecular background for the development of CIMP+ tumors that, in turn, develop MSI when aberrant methylation occurs at the MLH1 gene promoter.
