Project description:Global gene expression of human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAEC) submitted surrogates of cardiovascular risk factors Based on the analysis of global gene expression in human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAEC), we identified gene pathways and inferred cellular processes that are modulated in response to chemical hypoxia, oxidized lipids, IL-1β and oscillatory flow or combined stimuli. Our results indicate that clustering of the surrogates of risk factors is different from the sum of the individual insults that give rise to emergent phenotypes such as cell proliferation. Altogether, we provide evidence of a hierarchical effect between risk factor surrogates and advent of emergent phenotypes in response to combined stimulation.

Project description:Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is a hallmark of atherosclerosis and is influenced by well-defined risk factors, including hypoxia, dyslipidemia, inflammation, and oscillatory flow. However, the individual and combined contributions to the molecular underpinnings of ED remain elusive. We used global gene expression in human coronary artery endothelial cells to identify gene pathways and cellular processes in response to chemical hypoxia, oxidized lipids, IL-1β induced inflammation, oscillatory flow, and these combined stimuli. We found that clustering of the surrogate risk factors differed from the sum of the individual insults that gave rise to emergent phenotypes such as cell proliferation. We validated these observations in samples of human coronary artery atherosclerotic plaques analyzed using single-cell RNA sequencing. Our findings suggest a hierarchical interaction between surrogates of CV risk factors and the advent of emergent phenotypes in response to combined stimulation in endothelial cells that may influence ED.

Project description:Effective design of combination therapies requires understanding the changes in cell physiology resulting from drug interactions. Here, we show that the genome-wide transcriptional response to combinations of two drugs, measured at a rigorously controlled growth rate, can predict higher-order antagonism with a third drug in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Using isogrowth profiling, over 90% of the variation in cellular response can be decomposed into three principal components (PCs) that have clear biological interpretations. We demonstrate that the third PC captures emergent transcriptional programs that are dependent on both drugs and can predict antagonism with a third drug targeting the emergent pathway. We further show that emergent gene expression patterns are most pronounced at a drug ratio where the drug interaction is strongest, providing a guideline for future measurements. Our results provide a readily applicable recipe for uncovering emergent responses in other systems and for higher-order drug combinations.

Project description:Clonal emergence is a major driver for changes in bacterial disease epidemiology. Recently, it has been proposed that episodic emergence of novel, hypervirulent clones of group A Streptococcus (GAS) results from horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and recombination events leading to increased expression of the cytotoxins Nga (NADase) and SLO (streptolysin O). We previously described a gene fusion event involving the gene encoding the GAS M protein (emm) and an adjacent M-like protein (enn) in the emm4 GAS population, a GAS emm type that lacks the hyaluronic acid capsule. Using whole genome sequencing of a temporally and geographically diverse set of 1,127 isolates, we discovered that the North American emm4 GAS population has undergone clonal replacement with emergent GAS strains completely replacing historical isolates by 2017. Emergent emm4 GAS strains were defined by a handful of small genetic variations, including the emm-enn gene fusion, and showed a marked in vitro growth defect compared to historical strains. In contrast to other previously described GAS clonal emergence events, emergent emm4 GAS lacked significant HGT events and showed no significant increase in transcript levels of nga/slo toxin gene via RNA sequencing and quantitative real-time PCR analysis relative to historic strains. Despite the in vitro growth differences, emergent emm4 GAS strains demonstrated hypervirulence in mouse and ex vivo growth in human blood compared to historical strains. Thus, these data detail the emergence and dissemination of a hypervirulent acapsular GAS clone defined by small genetic variation thereby defining a novel model for GAS strain replacement.

Project description:Inter-species interactions shape the function and dynamics of microbial communities. Yet, the understanding of how these interactions influence the molecular physiology of interacting species remains surprisingly limited. Here, we assembled 104 synthetic pairwise co-cultures of 15 diverse gut bacteria in vitro and examined responses using meta-proteomics and metabolomics. We detect a diversity of ecological interactions with an overall dominance of competition, amensalism and exploitation, yet with a circa 18% overall prevalence of positive interactions. The growth changes were accompanied by strong molecular changes, with typically more than 60% of the proteome of a species changing in response to at least one partner. We find that the magnitude of the proteome responses is influenced by proteome size, species abundance, and pH of the co-culture. Small-molecule transport and carbon metabolism are among the most responsive processes indicating pervasive metabolic interactions. Using metabolomics we identified likely cross-fed metabolites, emergent polyamine metabolism, and niche partitioning in amino acid utilization in co-cultures. Notably, many yet uncharacterized proteins were differentially abundant in co-cultures, suggesting a role of the ‘dark proteome’ in inter-species interactions. Clustering of these proteins with those with known biological function indicates an approach to leverage species interactions for functional genomics. Overall, our systematic approach demonstrates how bacterial interactions profoundly affect the physiology of participating cells, advancing our molecular understanding of ecological interactions.

Project description:The skin is recognized as a window into the immunopathogenic mechanisms driving the vast phenotypic spectrum of psoriatic disease. To better decipher the cellular landscape of both healthy and psoriatic skin, we employed spatial transcriptomics (ST), a ground-breaking technology that precisely maps gene expression from histologically-intact tissue sections. Findings gleaned from computationally integrating our 23 matched lesional and non-lesional psoriatic and 7 healthy control samples with publicly-available single cell RNA seq data sets provided insights into the emergent cellular ecosystems at play in psoriatic disease.

Project description:The relationship between ionizing radiation (IR) and carcinogenesis is long established, but recently the association between IR and other diseases is starting to be recognized. Currently, there is limited information on the genetic mechanisms governing the role of IR in non-cancer related adverse health effects and in regards to an early developmental exposure. In this study, zebrafish embryos were exposed to a range of IR doses (0, 1, 2, 5, 10 Gy) at 26 hours post fertilization (hpf). No significant increase in mortality or hatching rate was observed, but a significant decrease in total larval length, head length, and eye diameter was observed in the 10 Gy dose. Transcriptomic analysis was conducted at 120 hpf to compare gene expression profiles between the control and highest IR dose at which no significant differences were observed in morphological measurements (5 Gy). 253 genes with well-established function or orthology to human genes were significantly altered. Gene ontology and molecular network analysis revealed enrichment of genes associated with cardiovascular and neurological development, function, and disease. Expression of a subset of genetic targets with an emphasis on those associated with the cardiovascular system was assessed using qPCR to confirm altered expression at 5 Gy and then to investigate alterations at lower doses (1 and 2 Gy). Strong correlation between microarray and qPCR expression values was observed, but zebrafish exposed to 1 or 2 Gy resulted in a significant expression alteration in only one of these genes (LIN7B). Moreover, heart rate was analyzed through 120 hpf following IR dosing at 26 hpf. A significant decrease in heart rate was observed at 10 Gy, while a significant increase in heart rate was observed at 1, 2, and 5 Gy. Overall these findings indicate IR exposure at doses below those that induce gross morphological changes alters heart rate and expression of genes associated with cardiovascular and neurological functions.
