Transcriptome analysis of CAX1/CAX3 double mutants

ABSTRACT: As part of a larger study on Cell-specific vacuolar calcium compartmentation regulates apoplastic calcium concentration, gas exchange and plant productivity we compared the transcriptome of 40day old CAX1/CAX3 double mutants to Col-0 wildtype plants. comparative: mutant versus wild-type

The physiological role and mechanism of nutrient storage within vacuoles of specific cell types is poorly understood. Transcript profiles from Arabidopsis thaliana leaf cells differing in calcium concentration ([Ca], epidermis <10 mM versus mesophyll >60 mM) were compared using a microarray screen and single-cell quantitative PCR. Three tonoplast-localized Ca(2+) transporters, CAX1 (Ca(2+)/H(+)-antiporter), ACA4, and ACA11 (Ca(2+)-ATPases), were identified as preferentially expressed in Ca-rich ...[more]

Project description:Background: Cardiac transcription factors are master regulators during heart development. Recently, some were shown to transdifferentiate noncardiac mesoderm cells and cardiac fibroblasts into cardiomyocytes. However, the individual roles of each transcription factors in activating cardiac gene program have not been elucidated. We examined cardiac-specific and genome-wide gene expression in fibroblasts induced with cardiac transcription factors Nkx2.5 (N), Tbx5 (T), Gata4 (G), Myocardin (M) alone or different combinations. Methodology/Principal Findings: We applied different combinations of human Nkx2.5 (N), Tbx5 (T), Gata4 (G) and Myocardin (M) lentiviruses into 10T1/2 fibroblasts. Immunostaining and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) showed that N, T, G or M alone did not induce expression of cardiac marker genes M-NM-1-myosin heavy chain (M-NM-1MHC) and cardiac troponin T (cTnT). Only T+M and T+G+M combinations induced M-NM-1MHC and cTnT expression. Microarray-based gene ontology analysis revealed that T alone inhibited most genes involved in cardiac-related processes and activated genes involved in Wnt receptor signaling pathway and in aberrant processes. M alone inhibited genes involved in Wnt receptor signaling pathway and activated genes involved in cardiac-related processes and in aberrant processes. G alone inhibited genes involved in ectoderm development. T+G+M combination was the most effective activator of genes associated with cardiac-related processes including muscle cell differentiation, sarcomere, striated muscle contraction, regulation of heart contraction, and glucose metabolism and fatty acid oxidation (two significant forms of cardiomyocyte energy metabolism). And unlike T, M, G alone or T+M, T+G+M did not activate genes associated with aberrant processes. Conclusions: Tbx5, Gata4 and Myocardin play different roles in activating cardiac gene program and in avoiding aberrant gene program activation. The combination of T+G+M activated cardiac gene program and avoided aberrant gene program activation. Two weeks after doxycline induction, total RNA was isolated from 10T1/2-tTA cells infected with different combinations of Tbx5, Gata4, and Myocardin lentiviruses. Biological triplicated.

Project description:Ascending bacterial infections of the male genitourinary tract by Escherichia coli are an important cause of male infertility. Thus understanding mechanisms by which immunocompetent cells such as testicular macrophages (TM) respond to infection and how bacterial pathogens manipulate defense pathways is of great relevance. Following infection with uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) whole genome expression profiling revealed induction of the calcium-dependent nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) signaling pathway in TM as well as in peritoneal macrophages (PM) that were used in comparison. UPEC-dependent NFAT activation was confirmed in cultured TM and in TM using an in vivo infection model. Elevated expression of NFATC2-regulated anti-inflammatory cytokines was found in TM (IL-4, IL-13) and PM (IL-3, IL-4, IL-13). NFATC2 is activated by a rapid influx of calcium caused by the UPEC pore forming toxin alpha-hemolysin. Mutant analysis identified alpha-hemolysin as the main virulent factor responsible for UPEC-dependant suppression of IL-6 and TNF-a cytokine release from PM. Alpha-hemolysin caused differential activation of MAP kinase and AP-1 signaling pathways in TM and PM leading to differential expression profiles of key pro-inflammatory cytokines in PM (IL-1a, IL-1b and IL-6 downregulated) and TM (IL-1b and IL-6 upregulated). In contrast to PM, treatment with lipopolysaccharide did not result in activation of the NFkB pathway in TM as shown by lack of degradation of IkBa and lack of pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion (IL-6, TNF-a). In conclusion, these results propose a mechanism how TM can defend against microbes, while at the same time they are able to maintain the immune privileged status of the testis. 2 Macrophage populations ( peritoneal, testicular) infected with UPEC CFT073; timepoints of mrna harvest at 0 min (control), 30 min and 60 min; of each point 2 biological replicates; of each repliccate 2 technical replicates: summa summarum: 2*((1+1+1)*2*2)=24 samples
