Project description:Scleractinian corals acquire autotrophic nutrients via the photosynthetic activity of their symbionts and the subsequent transfer of photosynthates. Zooplankton predation by the animal (heterotrophy) is an additional food source. Under stress events, corals loose their symbionts, a phenomena known as bleaching, which eventually leads to starvation, unless corals increase their heterotrophic capacities. Molecular mechanisms by which heterotrophy sustains metabolism in stressed corals remain elusive. Here for the first time, we identify specific genes expressed in heterotrophically fed and unfed corals maintained under normal and light-stress conditions inducing bleaching. Physiological parameters and gene expression profiling showed ominously that fed corals better resisted the stress than unfed corals, by presenting less oxidative damage and protein/DNA degradation. Light stressed and unfed/starved corals (HLS) up-regulated by 140 and 13 times two genes (CP2U1 and CP1A2), which belong to the Cytochrome P450 superfamily, while these genes remained almost unchanged in fed corals (HLF). Other genes of redox regulation, DNA damage response, molecular chaperones, and protein degradation were also up-regulated in HLS corals, presenting higher bleaching, and strong decrease of the photosynthesis performance compared to HLF corals. Several pivotal genes associated with the calcification apparatus such as carbonic anhydrases, calcium-transporting ATPase, calcium channel subunit, and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), were significantly down-regulated only in HLS corals. A parallel decrease in the calcification rates of these later corals was also observed. All together, these results show clearly that heterotrophy helps preventing oxidative stress in corals, and thus avoid the cascade of metabolic problems downstream this stress.

Project description:The interaction of animals with microbes relies on the specific recognition of microbial-derived molecules by receptors of the immune system. Sponges (phylum Porifera), as sister group of the Eumetazoa, provide insights into conserved mechanisms for animal-microbe crosstalk, but empirical data is limited. Here we aimed to characterize the immune response of sponges upon microbial stimuli by RNA-Seq. Two sponges species from the Mediterranean Sea, Aplysina aerophoba and Dysidea avara, were challenged with microbial-associated molecular patterns (lipopolysaccharide and peptidoglycan) or sterile artificial seawater (control) in aquarium experiments. Sponge tissue samples were collected 1h, 3h, and 5h after treatment. The response of the sponges to the treatments was assessed by differential gene expression analysis of RNA-Seq data. For each species, we compared the transcriptomic profiles of the samples in MAMP treatment to control within each time point.

Project description:Intensive research in past two decades has uncovered the presence and importance of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), which includes microRNAs (miRs) and long ncRNAs (lncRNAs). These two classes of ncRNAs interact to a certain extent, as some lncRNAs bind to miRs to sequester them. Such lncRNAs are collectively called 'competing endogenous RNAs' or 'miRNA sponges'. In this study, we screened for lncRNAs that may act as miRNA sponges using the publicly available data sets and databases. To uncover the roles of miRNA sponges, loss-of-function experiments were conducted, which revealed the biological roles as miRNA sponges. LINC00324 is important for the cell survival by binding to miR-615-5p leading to the de-repression of its target BTG2 LOC400043 controls several biological functions via sequestering miR-28-3p and miR-96-5p, thereby changing the expressions of transcriptional regulators. Finally, we also screened for circular RNAs (circRNAs) that may function as miRNA sponges. The results were negative at least for the selected circRNAs in this study. In conclusion, miRNA sponges can be identified by applying a series of bioinformatics techniques and validated with biological experiments.
