We used the serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) technique to catalogue and measure the relative levels of expression of the genes expressed in the human peripheral retina, macula, and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) from one or both of two humans, aged 88 and 44 years. The cone photoreceptor contribution to all transcription in the retina was found to be similar in the macula versus the retinal periphery, whereas the rod contribution was greater in the periphery versus the macula.

Project description:Increasing evidence suggests that low-abundant transcripts may play fundamental roles in biological processes. In an attempt to estimate the prevalence of low-abundant transcripts in eukaryotic genomes, we performed a transcriptome analysis in Drosophila using the SAGE technique. We collected 244,313 SAGE tags from transcripts expressed in Drosophila embryonic, larval, pupae, adult, and testicular tissue. From these SAGE tags, we identified 40,823 unique SAGE tags. Our analysis showed that 55% of the 40,823 unique SAGE tags are novel without matches in currently known Drosophila transcripts, and most of the novel SAGE tags have low copy numbers. Further analysis indicated that these novel SAGE tags represent novel low-abundant transcripts expressed from loci outside of currently annotated exons including the intergenic and intronic regions, and antisense of the currently annotated exons in the Drosophila genome. Our study reveals the presence of a significant number of novel low-abundant transcripts in Drosophila, and highlights the need to isolate these novel low-abundant transcripts for further biological studies.

Project description:The molecular mechanisms regulating the cell fate decision between self-renewal and differentiation/apoptosis in stem and progenitor cells are poorly understood. Here, we report the first comprehensive identification of genes potentially involved in the switch from self-renewal toward differentiation of primary, non-immortalized erythroid avian progenitor cells (T2EC cells). We used the Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE) technique in order to identify and quantify the genome fraction functionally active in a self-renewing versus a differentiating cell population. We generated two SAGE libraries and sequenced a total of 37,589 tags, thereby obtaining the first transcriptional profile characterization of a chicken cell. Tag identification was performed using a new relational database (Identitag) developed in the laboratory, which allowed a highly satisfactory level of identification. Among 123 differentially expressed genes, 11 were investigated further and for nine of them the differential expression was subsequently confirmed by real-time PCR. The comparison of tag abundance between the two libraries revealed that only a small fraction of transcripts was differentially expressed. The analysis of their functions argue against a prominent role for a master switch in T2EC cells decision-making, but are in favor of a critical role for coordinated small variations in a relatively small number of genes that can lead to essential cellular identity changes.

Project description:We have analyzed the pattern of gene expression in human primary CD34(+) stem/progenitor cells. We identified 42,399 unique serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) tags among 106,021 SAGE tags collected from 2.5 x 10(6) CD34(+) cells purified from bone marrow. Of these unique SAGE tags, 21,546 matched known expressed sequences, including 3,687 known genes, and 20,854 were novel without a match. The SAGE tags that matched known sequences tended to be at higher levels, whereas the novel SAGE tags tended to be at lower levels. By using the generation of longer sequences from SAGE tags for gene identification (GLGI) method, we identified the correct gene for 385 of 440 high-copy SAGE tags that matched multiple genes and we generated 198 novel 3' expressed sequence tags from 138 high-copy novel SAGE tags. We observed that many different SAGE tags were derived from the same genes, reflecting the high heterogeneity of the 3' untranslated region in the expressed genes. We compared the quantitative relationship for genes known to be important in hematopoiesis. The qualitative identification and quantitative measure for each known gene, expressed sequence tag, and novel SAGE tag provide a base for studying normal gene expression in hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells and for studying abnormal gene expression in hematopoietic diseases.

Project description:SAGE was used to profile gene expression in leukemic myeloid progenitor cells of AML patients with t(8;21), t(15;17), t(9;11) and inv(16). Keywords: SAGE analysis of gene expression in leukemic myeloid progenitor cells isolated from bone marrow Bone marrow cells from 4 patients with de novo t(9;11), 3 with treatment-related t(9;11), and 5 each with inv(16), t(15;17), t(8;21) were used for the study. Each sample contained at least 75% affected cells with no other chromosome abnormalities at cytogenetic level. Mononuclear cells were purified from bone marrow cells for each sample, and CD15+ myeloid progenitor cells were isolated from these mononuclear cells. Poly A+ RNA were isolated from CD15+ myeloid progenitor cells of each sample for SAGE tag collection.

Project description:Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) has been shown to have the potential to alter cellular gene expression early after infection. However, one-gene approaches and the use of closed system gene expression technologies have identified only few cellular genes whose activity changed immediate-early. We therefore used serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) to investigate the transcriptional program of human fibroblasts in response to HCMV in the immediate-early phase of infection. Differential expression of various cellular genes was monitored. Transcriptional expression changes of genes coding for ribosomal proteins reflected a general cellular response to starvation and stress. But differential regulation of genes coding for transcription factors and proteins associated with cellular metabolism, homeostasis and cell structure may represent transcriptional alterations in response to HCMV infection. Expression kinetics by 5' nuclease fluorigenic real-time PCR of selected genes revealed partial protection of infected cells against initial stress-associated alterations of gene expression and indicated fluctuations of transcriptional levels over time. Additionally, agreement with the quantitative results obtained by SAGE was observed only for genes up-regulated in HCMV-infected cells. This finding pointed to various technical and statistical parameters that all may be critical for quantitative transcriptome studies using global approaches, especially when exploring biological systems in a critical phase of cellular physiology.

Project description:Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is a major grass species used for forage and turf throughout the world, and gains by conventional breeding have reached a plateau. Perennial ryegrass is an outcrossing, self-incompatible diploid (2n = 2x = 14) with a relatively large genome (4067 Mbp/diploid genome; Evans, G.M., Rees, H., Snell, C.L. and Sun, S. (1972). The relation between nuclear DNA amount and the duration of the mitotic cycle. Chrom. Today, 3, 24–31). Using tissues sourced from active pastures during the peak of the autumn, winter, spring and summer seasons, we analysed the ryegrass transcriptome employing a Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE™) protocol, with the dual goals of understanding the seasonal changes in perennial ryegrass gene expression and enhancing our ability to select genes for genetic manipulation. A total of 159 002 14-mer SAGE™ tags was sequenced and mapped to the perennial ryegrass DNA database, comprising methyl-filtered (GeneThresher®) and expressed sequence tag (EST) sequences. The analysis of 14 559 unique SAGE™ tags, which were present more than once in our SAGE™ library, revealed 964, 1331, 346 and 131 exclusive transcripts to autumn, winter, spring and summer, respectively. Intriguingly, our analysis of the SAGE™ tags revealed season-specific expression profiles for the small subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (Rubisco), LprbcS. The transcript level for LprbcS was highest in spring, and then decreased gradually between summer and winter. Five different copies of LprbcS were revealed in ryegrass, with one possibly producing splice variant transcripts. Two highly expressed LprbcS genes were reported, one of which was not active in autumn. Another LprbcS gene showed an inverse expression profile to the autumn inactive LprbcS in a manner to compensate the expression level. Keywords: paddock samples, pasture, perennial ryegrass, Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE™), season specific expression, monocot Ryegrass tissue Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) cv. Bronsyn was used throughout this study. Field-grown samples, comprising mainly viable leaves and pseudostems, were collected at midday from livestock-active monocultural paddocks at Dexcel, Hamilton, New Zealand during the peak of each season, and frozen immediately in liquid nitrogen. Samples were transported in dry-ice and stored at ?80 oC until use. During spring and summer, care was taken not to include any floral stems in the tissue sample. Grass samples were collected from pregrazed (15–60 days post-grazing) and post-grazed (1 day post-grazing) ryegrass swards, which were visibly healthy and free of any pests. Construction of SAGE™ libraries RNA was extracted using TRIZOL® reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad,CA, USA). For each SAGE™ library, 100 ug of pre- and post-grazed sample-derived total RNA was employed, and the libraries were created using an I-SAGE™ or I-SAGE™Long Kit (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Pre- and post-grazed SAGE™ libraries were sequenced at the Australian Genome Research Facility (Brisbane, Australia), and the tags were extracted using SAGE2000 software and combined to produce the transcript profile for the season.
