Systems-wide Analysis Revealed Shared and Unique Responses to Moderate and Acute High Temperatures in Green Alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

ABSTRACT: Different intensities of high temperatures affect plant growth and yield in the field, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Using the unicellular green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, under highly controlled photobioreactor conditions, we revealed systems-wide shared and unique responses to 24-hour moderate (35oC) and acute (40oC) high temperatures and subsequent recovery at 25oC. Heat at 35oC increased transcripts/proteins involved in gluconeogensis/glyoxylate-cycle for carbon uptake, promoted growth, and increased starch accumulation. Heat at 40oC inhibited growth, resulting in carbon uptake over usage and increased starch accumulation. Heat at 35oC transiently inhabited the cell cycle followed by partial synchronization while 40oC inhibited DNA replication and arrested cell cycle. Both high temperatures induced photoprotection, while 40oC decreased photosynthetic efficiencies, distorted thylakoid/pyrenoid ultrastructure, and affected carbon concentrating mechanism. We demonstrated increased transcript/protein correlation during heat, which decreased during recovery, suggesting reduced post-transcriptional regulation during heat may help coordinate heat tolerance activities efficiently. During recovery after both treatments, transcripts/proteins related to DNA synthesis increased while those involved in photosynthetic light reactions decreased. We propose down-regulating photosynthetic light reactions during DNA replication benefits cell cycle resumption by reducing ROS production. Furthermore, we identified transcripts/proteins with unique differential regulation at 35oC, uncovering previously overlooked novel elements in response to moderate high temperature. Our research improves understanding of heat responses in photosynthetic cells and provides potential targets to increase thermotolerance in algae and crops.

Different intensities of high temperatures affect the growth of photosynthetic cells in nature. To elucidate the underlying mechanisms, we cultivated the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii under highly controlled photobioreactor conditions and revealed systems-wide shared and unique responses to 24-hour moderate (35°C) and acute (40°C) high temperatures and subsequent recovery at 25°C. We identified previously overlooked unique elements in response to moderate high temperature. Hea ...[more]

Project description:In mammals, increasing evidence supports the generality of cotranscriptional gene regulation and the idea that genetic control often occurs subsequent to RNA polymerase II (Pol II) recruitment. In our recent experiments, we have used Pol II Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) to investigate relationships between the mechanistic events that control acute stress response (ASR) gene activation following stimulation of the alpha1a-Adrenergic Receptor expressed in rat-1 fibroblasts. We validate the temporal accuracy of our Pol II ChIP assay by comparison to major transcriptional events assessable by microarray and PCR analysis of precursor and mature mRNA. Initial temporal microarray analysis of gene activation following agonist addition identified genes that were upregulated and provided a temporal profile of changes in polyadenylated mRNA levels. Combined with PCR analysis of pre-mRNA, total RNA, polyadenylated RNA and the Pol II ChIP data, we demonstrate complex multilevel gene regulation including a diverse set of cotranscriptional mechanisms. Given our data, we propose that analysis of a genes regulation must begin with global assessement of changes in transcriptional behavior to identify events that are actually rate limiting if reductionist mechanistic dissection is to distinguish events that are regulated from the larger set of mechanisms available to most genes. This microarray analysis reports on the temporal changes in polyadenylated mRNA levels in proliferating rat-1 fibroblasts following stimulation of the alpha-1a Adrenergic Receptor with filter sterilized 10 uM phenylephrine (PE). Cells were treated and harvested at 70 to 80% confluence. Rat-1 cells under these conditions are still mid-log phase and continue to proliferate for at least another replicative cycle. Message levels in untreated cells were determined for 3 biological replicates, but all other time points are single replicates as sufficiently detailed dissection made replicates expensive and unnecessary, given that clear trending behavior in the expression profiles demonstrates profile accuracy.

Project description:Diurnal temperature cycling is an intrinsic characteristic of many exposed microbial ecosystems. However, its influence on yeast physiology and transcriptome has not been studied in detail. In this study, 24-h sinoidal temperature cycles, oscillating between 12 and 30M-BM-0C, were imposed on anaerobic, glucose-limited chemostat cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. After three diurnal temperature cycles (DTC), concentrations of glucose, and extracellular metabolites, as well as CO2-production rates showed regular, reproducible circadian rhytms. DTC also led to waves of transcriptional activation and repression, which involved one sixth of the yeast genome. A substantial fraction of these DTC-responsive genes appeared to primarily respond to changes in glucose concentration. Elimination of known glucose-responsive genes revealed overrepresentation of previously identified temperature-responsive genes as well as genes involved in cell cycle and de novo purine biosynthesis. Analyses of budding index and flow cytomery demonstrated that DTC led to a partial synchronization of the cell cycle of the yeast populations in the chemostat cultures, which was lost upon release from DTC. Comparison of DTC results with data from steady-state cultures showed that DTC was sufficiently slow to allow S. cerevisiae chemostat cultures to almost completely acclimatize their transcriptome and physiology at the DTC temperature maximum, and to approach acclimation at the DTC temperature minimum. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of diurnal temperature cycles on the physiology and transcriptome of S. cerevisiae and to assess the extent to which these responses can be predicted from steady-state analyses. To this end, we used a continuous cultivation set-up, in which the yeast was grown under controlled conditions and subjected to 24-h sinoidal temperature cycles. Since the sampling volume was kept within 5% of the reactor volume during 24 h, sampling from two independent duplicate cultures for microarray analysis was spread over the fifth and sixth temperature cycle. Sample points from the fifth and sixth temperature cycle were combined, resulting in six sample points covering one temperature cycle (at temperatures of 30; 21; 14.6; 12; 21 and 27.4M-BM-0C). For the last time point, one additional analytical duplicate sample was taken. Furthermore, steady-state chemostat cultures at constant temperatures of 12M-BM-0C and 30M-BM-0C (independent duplicate cultures at both temperatures) were sampled for microarray analysis. All this resulted in a total array set of 17 arrays.

Project description:Technological advances now make gene expression analysis feasible in any sequenced organism, and new sequencing methods have greatly accelerated genome sequencing. Here we show that important insights into gene function are possible by comparing gene expression response to genetic and environmental perturbations between related species. We present a gene expression compendium designed for maximal gene expression variation in the sensu stricto yeast Saccharomyces bayanus. While many aspects of gene expression are conserved over the 20 million years of evolution separating S. bayanus from the model yeast S. cerevisiae, we observe regulatory changes, including in galactose metabolism and sporulation. The expression data also allows us to predict the biological roles of genes unique to S. bayanus, leading us to propose a role in oxidative stress response for a group of genes, and also to identify a regulatory network specific to this yeast. This dataset contains 53 experiments as follows: (experiment: number of datasets (number of arrays)) growth at different temperatures: 1 (3) heat shock: 4 (18) ammonium: 1 (6) cadmium: 1 (4) copper: 1 (6) lead: 1 (6) nickel: 1 (5) sulfite toxicity: 1 (6) zinc: 1 (6) ethanol toxicity: 1 (6) sorbitol: 1 (6) bleach: 1 (6) hydrogen peroxide: 3 (17) 2-deoxyglucose: 1 (6) hydroxyurea: 1 (6) lovastatin: 1 (4) MG-132: 1 (5) MMS: 1 (6) rapamycin: 1 (6) tunicamycin: 1 (6) zeocin: 1 (6) chronological aging: 3 (13) diauxic shift: 1 (6) galactose: 5 (38) glycerol: 1 (4) sucrose: 1 (4) auxotroph starvation: 1 (11) nutrient limited chemostat growth: 3 (7) mating type and ploidy: 1 (3) alpha factor: 1 (8) cell cycle: 1 (30) sporulation: 3 (18) strain backgrounds: 1 (4) cross progeny: 1 (22) Tn7 insertions: 1 (27) 555.11 and 670.20 knockout tetrads: 2 (8) Timecourse datasets: heat shock, ammonium, cadmium, copper, lead, nickel, sulfite toxicity, zinc, ethanol toxicity, sorbitol, bleach, hydrogen peroxide, 2-deoxyglucose, hydroxyurea, lovastatin, MG-132, MMS, rapamycin, tunicamycin, zeocin, chronological aging, diauxic shift, galactose, glycerol, sucrose, auxotroph starvation, alpha factor, cell cycle, sporulation Single timepoint datasets: growth at different temperatures, strain backgrounds, cross progeny, Tn7 insertions, nutrient limited chemostat growth, mating type and ploidy, 555.11 and 670.20 knockout tetrads Almost all samples were hybridized versus a common reference prepared from a mixture of RNA from Mat a, Matx, and Mata/x cells sampled in both exponential and stationary phase. Additionally, RNA from stress conditions was included: hydrogen peroxide treatment sampled at 10, 30 and 45 minutes, and heat shock from 25 to 37 degrees sampled at 10 and 30 minutes. Samples from the following datasets were not hybridized versus the common reference (reference used in parenthesis and in array annotations): cell cycle (asynchronous culture), constant temperatures (log phase culture), mating type and ploidy (log phase culture), diauxic shift (log phase culture), and strain backgrounds (log phase culture). Replicates and dye swaps were not used.

Project description:T cells undergo autoimmunization following spinal cord injury (SCI) and play both protective and destructive roles during the recovery process. T-cell deficient athymic nude (AN) rats recover better than immunocompetent Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats following spinal cord transection. In the present study, we evaluated locomotor recovery in SD and AN rats following moderate spinal cord contusion. To explain variable locomotor outcome, we assessed whole-genome expression using RNA sequencing, in the acute (1 week post-injury) and chronic (8 weeks post-injury) phases of recovery. AN rats demonstrated greater locomotor function than SD rats only at 1 week post-injury, coinciding with peak T cell infiltration in immunocompetent rats. Genetic markers for T cells and helper T cells were acutely enriched in SD rats, while AN rats expressed genes for Th2 cells, cytotoxic T cells, NK cells, mast cells, IL-1a, and IL-6 at higher levels. Acute enrichment of cell death-related genes suggested that SD rats undergo secondary tissue damage from T cells. Additionally, SD rats exhibited increased acute expression of voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channel-related genes. However, AN rats demonstrated greater chronic expression of cell death-associated genes and less expression of axon-related genes. We put forth a model in which T cells facilitate early tissue damage, demyelination, and Kv channel dysregulation in SD rats following contusion SCI. However, compensatory features of the immune response in AN rats cause delayed tissue death and limit long-term recovery. T cell inhibition combined with other neuroprotective treatment may thus be a promising therapeutic avenue. 2x2 model with 4 groups and 12 total samples. 2 rat strains (athymic nude [AN] and Sprague-Dawley [SD]) and 2 time points (1 week post-injury [acute] and 8 weeks post-injury [chronic]). 3 samples per group, for a total of 12 samples. No technical replicates were performed. Acute SD group = rats 618, 619, and 620. Chronic SD group = rats 605, 606, and 608. Acute AN group = rats 714, 715, and 717. Chronic AN group = rats 707, 712, and 713.
