Project description:This study provides comparative RNA-seq datasets for four freshwater bacterial isolates, Pseudomonas sp. FBCC-B13192, Herbaspirillum sp. FBCC-B12834, Pantoea sp. FBCC-B5559, and Micrococcus sp. FBCC-B5738, cultured under iron-replete (+100 uM FeCl3) and iron-limited (no FeCl3) conditions. Iron availability is a key factor influencing bacterial fitness, and iron limitation is known to activate siderophore biosynthesis, iron transport, and homeostasis pathways. A total of eight libraries generated in 2024 and 2025 were analyzed, comprising 349.9 million processed reads. Reference-guided mapping rates varied among strains, with higher mapping efficiency observed in Pseudomonas, Herbaspirillum, and Pantoea, while Micrococcus showed comparatively lower mapping rates under both conditions. Differential expression analysis revealed strain-specific responses to iron limitation. Genes related to pyoverdine and ferrichrome uptake were enriched in Pseudomonas and Herbaspirillum, enterobactin-associated pathways were prominent in Pantoea, and genes associated with siderophore production, heme utilization, and Fe-S cluster assembly were identified in Micrococcus. Raw sequencing data are available in the NCBI Sequence Read Archive under BioProject PRJNA1456794, and processed data are deposited in a public repository. These datasets provide a valuable resource for understanding bacterial adaptation to iron availability and for comparative transcriptomic analyses.
Project description:In humans there are two surfactant protein A (SP-A) functional genes SFTPA1 and SFTPA2 encoding innate immune molecules, SP-A1 and SP-A2, respectively, with numerous genetic variants each. SP-A interacts and regulates many of the functions of alveolar macrophages (AM). It is shown that SP-A variants differ in their ability to regulate the AM miRNome in response to oxidative stress (OxS). Because humans have both SP-A gene products, we were interested to determine the combined effect of co-expressed SP-A1/SP-A2 (co-ex) in response to ozone (O3) induced OxS on AM miRNome. Human transgenic (hTG) mice, carrying both SP-A1/SP-A2 (6A2/1A0, co-ex) and SP-A- KO were utilized. The hTG and KO mice were exposed to filtered air (FA) or O3 and miRNA levels were measured after AM isolation with or without normalization to KO. We found: (i) The AM miRNome of co-ex males and females in response to OxS to be largely downregulated after normalization to KO, but after Bonferroni multiple comparison analysis only in females the AM miRNome remained significantly different compared to control (FA); (ii) The targets of the significantly changed miRNAs were downregulated in females and upregulated in males; (iii) Several of the validated mRNA targets were involved in pro-inflammatory response, anti-apoptosis, cell cycle, cellular growth and proliferation; (iv) The AM of SP-A2 male, shown, previously to have major effect on the male AM miRNome in response to OxS, shared similarities with the co-ex, namely in pathways involved in the pro-inflammatory response and anti-apoptosis but also exhibited differences with the cell-cycle, growth, and proliferation pathway being involved in co-ex and ROS homeostasis in SP-A2 male. We speculate that the presence of both gene products versus single gene products differentially impact the AM responses in males and females in response to OxS.
