Project description:Phytohormones like ethylene and cytokinin are important regulators of plant growth and development. Perception of these hormones is accomplished by families of sensor histidine kinase-type receptors. Here, we identified the response regulator ARR2 as a signaling component functioning downstream of not only cytokinin receptors but also of the ethylene receptor ETR1. Transcriptome analyses suggest that ARR2 also participates in the regulation of several other signaling pathways. Further investigations indicate that hormone-initiated multi-step phosphorelais regulate the transcription factor activity of ARR2. The ETR1-dependent mechanism thereby creates a CTR1-independent ethylene signal transfer. From our data we propose that a two-component signaling network exists in higher plants that is predominantly responsible for fine-tuning and integration of a large number of signal transduction pathways.

Project description:The prostate represents a complex mix of cell types and there is a need to analyze distinct cell populations to better understand their potential interactions. This study of cell-type specific gene expression patterns will contribute to understanding of how tumor epithelial cells may be affected by adjacent interstitial stromal cells within the tumor microenvirnonment. LCM and microarray analysis were used to identify gene expression patterns in prostate cancer epithelial and interstitial stromal cell populations. More than 500 genes whose expression levels were significantly different in epithelial cells versus adjacent stromal tissue were identified. Several chemokines and growth factors were more highly expressed in prostate cancer stromal cells while several transcription factors and receptors were more highly expressed in epithelial cells. Five micron serial sections from three different intermediate grade prostate tumors were provided. One section from each had been stained by hematoxylin and eosin and the tumor areas marked for identification. To obtain RNA from 2 different tissue types (glandular epithelium and interstitial stroma) tumor areas observed to have abundant cells of interest were identified. Tumor epithelium and adjacent stromal tissue were collected separately from each slide. We sought to obtain similar populations of cells of each tissue type, so to that end, we examined each slide and and marked areas to direct the laser capture. Approximately 1,000 cells were captured per cap and RNA was extracted and hybridized to Affymetrix microarrays as recommended by manufacturer.

Project description:In flowering plants, the male gametophyte, the pollen, develops in the anther. Complex patterns of gene expression in both the gametophytic and sporophytic tissues of the anther regulate this process. The gene expression profiles of the microspore/pollen and the sporophytic tapetum are of particular interest. In this study, a microarray technique combined with laser microdissection (44K LM-microarray) was developed and used to characterize separately the transcriptomes of the microspore/pollen and tapetum in rice. Expression profiles of 11 known tapetum specific-genes were consistent with previous reports. Based on the spatiotemporal expression patterns and gene ontology (GO) categories of anther-expressed genes, some noteworthy expression patterns are discussed in connection with various important biological events of anther development. The separated transcriptomes of rice microspore/pollen and tapetum were measured at the premeiosis, meiosis, tetrad, uninuclear, bicellular, and tricelluar stages by using laser microdissection (LM)-mediated microarray.

Project description:Embryonic eyelid closure is a critical step of mammalian ocular surface development involving the forward movement and ultimate fusion of the upper and lower eyelids. Although its underlying mechanism of action is not fully understood, a functional mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 1 (MAP3K1) is essentially required for eyelid closure. We used microarray to characterize the central role that MAP3K1 plays in embryonic eyelid closure. We used Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) to obtain highly enriched eyelid leading edge and inner eyelid cells from E15.5 wild type and MAP3K1-deficient fetuses and analyze genome-wide expression profiles.

Project description:All above ground organs of higher plants are ultimately derived from shoot apical meristems (SAMs). The SAM exhibits distinctive structural organization, and monocot SAMs such as maize are comprised of two cell layers, a single cell layered tunica (L1) and a corpus (L2). Although recent research has revealed roles of these cell layers in the SAM, intra- and inter-cell-layer signaling networks involved in organ development remain largely unknown except for a few differentially expressed genes. Here, we used Illumnia technology to conduct RNA-seq of L1 and L2 cell layers in maize B73 maize shoot apical meristem. Single sequencing library was constructed for L1 and L2 cell layer. Each library was sequenced using 2 lanes on a Solexa flow cell. Processed data file 'ZmB73_4a.53_filtered_genes.fasta' and its README file are linked below as supplementary files. The fasta file contains the gene model ID and corresponding sequence generated from maize genome project. This fasta file was used for the following samples: GSM418173, GSM418174, GSM420173, GSM420174, GSM422828, GSM422829.

Project description:Seasonal influenza outbreaks and recurrent influenza pandemics present major challenges to public health. By studying immunological responses to influenza in different host species, it may be possible to discover common mechanisms of susceptibility in response to various influenza strains. This could lead to novel therapeutic targets with wide clinical application. Using a mouse-adapted strain of influenza (A/HK/1/68-MA20 [H3N2]), we produced a mouse model of severe influenza (p-flu) that reproduces the hallmark high viral load and overexpression of cytokines associated with susceptibility to p-flu in humans. We mapped genetic determinants of the host response using a panel of 29 closely related mouse strains (AcB/BcA panel of recombinant congenic strains) created from influenza-susceptible A/J and influenza-resistant C57BL/6J (B6) mice. Combined clinical quantitative trait loci (cQTL) and lung expression QTL (eQTL) mapping identified candidate genes for two sex-specific QTLs on chromosomes 2 and 17. The former includes the previously described Hc gene, a deficit of which is associated with the susceptibility phenotype in females. The latter includes the phospholipase gene Pla2g7 and Tnfrsf21, a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily. Confirmation of the gene underlying the chromosome 17 QTL may reveal new strategies for influenza treatment. To identify eQTLs, we reanalyzed lung expression data previously obtained by Lee et al (2006) on MGU74Av2 microarrays (Affymetrix) for 54 mice (13BcA, 12AcB, B6 and A/J mice in duplicate) using Custom CDFv12 to reorganize oligonucleotide probes based on the latest genome and transcriptome information. We inferred an A/J or B6 strain of origin for each gene based on the genotype of surrounding markers with a call rate of 96.7%. If a gene was in between A/J and B6 markers for a given RCS, it was coded as NA. Expression values were normalized using the Robust Multi-array Analysis (RMA) for Affymetrix gene chips. To define the association between differentially expressed genes and genotypes, ANOVA was conducted on a per-gene basis using the linear model Expression ~ DSO + BG + DSO*BG, where background (BG) and donor strain of origin (DSO) were coded as binary phenotypes corresponding to A/J or B6. The cutoff for genome-wide significance was computed using the BenjaminiM-bM-^@M-^SHochberg correction. For reference, the paper by Lee (2006): http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16449383

Project description:From over 300 patients two groups were selected which had prostate tumors with either well differentiated (WD) or poorly differentiated (PD) after radical Prostatectomy. The PD group had Gleason score 8-9, seminal vesicle invasion, and poorly differentiated tumor cells; the WD group had Gleason score 6-7, no seminal vesicle invasion, and well to moderately differentiated tumor cells. LCM compatible specimens were selected from age and race (Caucasians) matched PD or WD patients with no family history of CaP. Matching normal epithelal cells were also selected for the analysis. From 40 patients specimens were obtained under an IRB-approved protocol from patients treated with radical prostatectomy (RP) at Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC).

Project description:Susceptibility to Crohn's disease, a complex inflammatory disease involving the small intestine, is controlled by over 30 loci. One Crohn's disease risk allele is in ATG16L1, a gene homologous to the essential yeast autophagy gene ATG16 (ref. 2). It is not known how ATG16L1 or autophagy contributes to intestinal biology or Crohn's disease pathogenesis. To address these questions, we generated and characterized mice that are hypomorphic for ATG16L1 protein expression, and validated conclusions on the basis of studies in these mice by analysing intestinal tissues that we collected from Crohn's disease patients carrying the Crohn's disease risk allele of ATG16L1. Here we show that ATG16L1 is a bona fide autophagy protein. Within the ileal epithelium, both ATG16L1 and a second essential autophagy protein ATG5 are selectively important for the biology of the Paneth cell, a specialized epithelial cell that functions in part by secretion of granule contents containing antimicrobial peptides and other proteins that alter the intestinal environment. ATG16L1- and ATG5-deficient Paneth cells exhibited notable abnormalities in the granule exocytosis pathway. In addition, transcriptional analysis revealed an unexpected gain of function specific to ATG16L1-deficient Paneth cells including increased expression of genes involved in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) signalling and lipid metabolism, of acute phase reactants and of two adipocytokines, leptin and adiponectin, known to directly influence intestinal injury responses. Importantly, Crohn's disease patients homozygous for the ATG16L1 Crohn's disease risk allele displayed Paneth cell granule abnormalities similar to those observed in autophagy-protein-deficient mice and expressed increased levels of leptin protein. Thus, ATG16L1, and probably the process of autophagy, have a role within the intestinal epithelium of mice and Crohn's disease patients by selective effects on the cell biology and specialized regulatory properties of Paneth cells. Experiment Overall Design: 4 Samples: 2 replicates of Atg16-hypomorph Paneth cells and 2 replicates of Wildtype Paneth cells.

Project description:Tissue-specific transcriptional profiling of the abscission layer (AL) at the base of young flower in rice using laser micro-dissection: NIL(qSH1) vs. Nipponbare. We used two rice varieties, NIL(qSH1) and Nipponbare. NIL(qSH1) is a nearly isogenic line containing the seed shattering gene qSH1. Seed shattering is easy in NIL(qSH1), but it is not in Nipponbare. So, we used some stages of young flower in NIL(qSH1) and some in Nipponbare. Four regions: 1. abscission layer region of NIL(qSH1), 2. upper abscission region of NIL(qSH1), 3. lower abscission layer region of NIL(qSH1), and 4. abscission layer region of Nipponbare. Sample experiments: NIL(qSH1) AL vs. Nipponbare AL, NIL(qSH1) AL vs. NIL(qSH1) upper region of AL, and NIL(qSH1) AL vs. NIL(qSH1) lower region of AL.

Project description:Hepatocyte-nuclear-factor-4? (??Hnf4?) is a transcription factor that controls epithelial cell polarity and maturation during embryogenesis. Hnf4? conditional deletion during post-natal development results in minor consequences on intestinal epithelium integrity but promotes activation of the Wnt/?-catenin pathway. Here we show that Hnf4? does not act as a tumor suppressor gene but is crucial to promote gut tumorigenesis in mice. Polyp multiplicity in ApcMin mice that lacks Hnf4? is suppressed in comparison to littermate ApcMin controls. Analysis of microarray gene expression profiles from mice lacking Hnf4? in the intestinal epithelium identifies its novel function in regulating the expression of reactive oxygen species (ROS) detoxifying genes. This role is supported with the demonstration that HNF4? is functionally involved in the protection against spontaneous and 5-fluorouracil chemotherapy-induced production of intracellular ROS in colorectal cancer cell lines. The analysis of a colorectal cancer patient cohort establishes that HNF4? is significantly up-regulated at both gene transcript and protein levels in tumors relative to adjacent benign epithelial resections. Several genes involved in ROS neutralization are also up-regulated in correlation with HNF4? expression. All together, the findings point to the nuclear receptor HNF4? as a potential therapeutic target to eradicate aberrant epithelial cell resistance to ROS production during intestinal tumorigenesis. HNF4alpha was conditionally knockout in the mouse epithelial intestine with the 12.4-kb VillinCRE. A total of 3 control and 3 mutant littermates individuals were sacrificed at 7 months of age. The distal jejunum was harvested and Total RNA was isolated from each individuals. Each RNA sample was independently used to generate probes to screen affymetrix chips.
