Project description:The present study identified and characterized miRNAs, which may play a major role in stress resistance. we applied high-throughput sequencing to investigate the alterations of miRNAs expression of sea cucumber under hypoxia stress(DO2_1,DO2_2,DO2_3),slight hypoxia stress(DO4_1,DO4_2,DO4_3) and normal condition(DO8_1,DO8_2,DO8_3). These results will provide a basis for future studies of miRNA regulation in sea cucumbers under hypoxia stress.

Project description:modENCODE_submission_3082 This submission comes from a modENCODE project of Michael Snyder. For full list of modENCODE projects, see http://www.genome.gov/26524648 Project Goal: We are identifying the DNA binding sites for 300 transcription factors in C. elegans. Each transcription factor gene is tagged with the same GFP fusion protein, permitting validation of the gene's correct spatio-temporal expression pattern in transgenic animals. Chromatin immunoprecipitation on each strain is peformed using an anti-GFP antibody, and any bound DNA is deep-sequenced using Solexa GA2 technology.

Project description:The sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus withstands high water temperatures in the summer by suppressing metabolic rate and entering a state of aestivation. We hypothesized that changes in the expression of miRNAs could provide important post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression during hypometabolism via control over mRNA translation. The present study analyzed profiles of miRNA expression in the sea cucumber respiratory tree using Solexa deep sequencing technology. We identified 279 sea cucumber miRNAs, including 15 novel miRNAs specific to sea cucumber. Animals sampled during deep aestivation (DA; after at least 15 days of continuous torpor) were compared with animals from a non-aestivation (NA) state (animals that had passed through aestivation and returned to an active state). We identified 30 differentially expressed miRNAs ([RPM (reads per million) >10, |FC| (|fold change|) ≥1, FDR (false discovery rate) <0.01]) during aestivation, which were validated by two other miRNA profiling methods: miRNA microarray and real-time PCR. Among the most prominent miRNA species, miR-124, miR-124-3p, miR-79, miR-9 and miR-2010 were significantly over-expressed during deep aestivation compared with non-aestivation animals, suggesting that these miRNAs may play important roles in metabolic rate suppression during aestivation.

Project description:In this study, transcriptomics was used to investigate Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) sampled from three different field locations within Baltic Sea (Baltic Main Basin (CBS), Gulf of Finland (GoF) and Bothnian Sea (BS)) during marine migration. RNA labeling, hybridizations, and scanning were performed by the Finnish Microarray and Sequencing Centre in Turku Centre for Biotechnology.

Project description:Background: Salmonid species have followed markedly divergent evolutionary trajectories in their interactions with sea lice. While sea lice parasitism poses significant economic, environmental, and animal welfare challenges for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) aquaculture, coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) exhibit near-complete resistance to sea lice, achieved through a potent epithelial hyperplasia response leading to rapid louse detachment. The molecular mechanisms underlying these divergent responses to sea lice are unknown. Results: We characterised the cellular and molecular responses of Atlantic salmon and coho salmon to sea lice using single-nuclei RNA sequencing. Juvenile fish were exposed to copepodid sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis), and lice-attached pelvic fin and skin samples were collected 12h, 24h, 36h, 48h, and 60h after exposure, along with control samples. Comparative analysis of control and treatment samples revealed an immune and wound-healing response that was common to both species, but attenuated in Atlantic salmon, potentially reflecting greater sea louse immunomodulation. Our results revealed unique but complementary roles of three layers of keratinocytes in the epithelial hyperplasia response leading to rapid sea lice rejection in coho salmon. Our results suggest that basal keratinocytes direct the expansion and mobility of intermediate and, especially, superficial keratinocytes, which eventually encapsulate the parasite. Conclusions: Our results highlight the key role of keratinocytes in coho salmon’s sea lice resistance, and the diverged biological response of the two salmonid host species when interacting with this parasite. This study has identified key pathways and candidate genes that could be manipulated using various biotechnological solutions to improve Atlantic salmon sea lice resistance.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of mouse lungs by comparing PBS and saline treated lungs with SEA and bleomycin treated lungs, respectively. Mice strains used in this study include wild type (C57BL/6), IL-13Ra1 and IL-13Ra2 deficient mice. In mouse model of allergic asthma, mice were sensitized twice (day0 and day14) by i.p. injection of 10 µg of SEA. On days 28 and 31 mice were anesthetized with a mixture of xylazine and ketamine and given an intratracheal (I.T) airway challenge with 10 µg of SEA. Mice were sacrificed 24 h after the final airway challenge (day 32) and lungs were collected for RNA preparation. Biological replicates include 5 PBS treated and 5 SEA treated mice. In bleomycin-induced fibrosis odel, mice were anaesthetized with a xylazine and ketamine cocktail and given 0.15 U bleomycin sulfate (EMD) in saline or saline alone via the I.T. route. On day 7, mice were sacrificed and ungs were collected for RNA preparation. Biological replicates include 4 saline treated and 4 bleomycin treated mice. Goal was to determine IL-13 receptors regulated genes during SEA induced allergic asthma and bleomycin-induced fibrosis. Fluorescent cDNA targets were prepared from a 20 μg experimental RNA sample (SEA or bleomycin challenged group–dUTPCy5 – Amersham, Piscataway, NJ) and a 20 μg reference RNA sample (PBS or saline treated group–dUTPCy3- Amersham, Piscataway, NJ). Equal quantities of the above labeled cDNA (experimental and reference labeled RNA samples) were mixed and any free label present in the sample was removed by washing 3 times using a 10 kDa cutoff Vivaspin filters (Millipore). Labeled fluorescent cDNA targets were hybridized on the Whole Mouse Genome Oligo Microarray Kit (Agilent, Palo Alto, CA) containing more than 41000 gene probes.

Project description:Staphylococcal enterotoxins (SE) crosslink the MHC-II on antigen-presenting cells (APC) with the T-cell receptor, inducing a polyclonal T-cell response. Although APCs are the initial targets of SE and are critical in shaping subsequent T-cell activation, the effects of SE on APC function remain poorly understood. This study investigates the immunomodulatory effects of staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) on monocytes and their differentiation into monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDC) or macrophages (MDM). Transcriptomic analyses of human monocytes via RNA sequencing revealed SEA-induced enrichment of gene pathways associated with inflammation, infection and dermatitis, effects that were amplified in the presence of T-cells. Phenotypic and functional characterization showed that SEA-primed monocytes differentiated into MDM with an altered polarization, deviating from classical M1/M2 pathways. SEA-primed MDM exhibited downregulayion of key markers including HLA-DR, CD80, CD86 and PD-L1. Functional assays demonstrated that SEA-primed MDM pushed hyperinflammatory T-cell responses, with significantly enhanced proliferation and IFN-γ secretion. In contrast, moDC retained robust antigen-presenting capabilities even upon SEA-priming. These findings provide mechanistic insights into SEA-mediated immune modulation, illustrating how SEA reprograms MDM functions and amplify proinflammatory T-cell responses. This advances our understanding of superantigen-driven immune interactions, offering a foundation for developing therapeutic strategies to mitigate superantigen-mediated immune conditions.

Project description:Sulfur metabolism in the deep-sea cold seep has been mentioned to have an important contribution to the biogeochemical cycle of sulfur in previous studies. And sulfate reducing bacteria have also been considered to be a dominant microbial population in the deep-sea cold seep and play a crucial role in this process. However, most of sulfate reducing bacteria from cold seep still cannot be purely cultured under laboratory conditions, therefore the actual sulfur metabolism pathways in sulfate reducing bacteria from the deep-sea cold seep have remained unclear. Here, we isolate and pure culture a typical sulfate reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio marinus CS1 from the sediment sample of the deep-sea cold seep in the South China Sea, which provides a probability to understand the sulfur metabolism in the cold seep.
