Development and evaluation of a 60-mer oligonucleotide microarray for profiling of biodegradation and bacterial 16S rRNA genes in diverse contaminated ecosystems

ABSTRACT: We have developed a 60-mer oligonucleotide multibacterial microarray for detection and expression profiling of biodegradative genes and bacterial diversity (16S rRNA gene) in different habitats contaminated with varieties of hazardous chemicals. The genes selected were involved in biodegradation and biotransformation of various groups of compounds viz. nitroaromatic compounds (148 genes), chloroaromatic compounds (75 genes), monoaromatic compounds (373 genes), polyaromatic hydrocarbons (174 genes), pesticides/ herbicides (34 genes), alkanes/aliphatics (185 genes) and heavy metals (68 genes), which covered a total number of 133 chemicals. The efficiency (specificity, detection sensitivity) of the developed array was evaluated using the labeled genomic DNA of pure bacterial strains, Escherichia coli DH5M-NM-1 and Sphingomonas sp. strain NM-05 (involved in the biodegradation of M-NM-3-hexachlorohexane isolated from IPL, Lucknow) at different concentrations of 300ng, 500ng, 800ng, 1000ng and 1250ng. The specificity of the developed array was further validated using mixed cultures containing three strains (Sphingomonas sp. strain NM-05, Rhodococcus sp. strain RHA1 and Bordetella sp. strain IITR-02) involved in biodegradation of M-NM-3-hexachlorohexane, biphenyl and chlorobenzenes respectively. The mixed culture also contained non-target/non-degrader strains (E. coli DHM-NM-1, E.coli BL21 and E.coli K12 NCTC50192). The developed array was applied for profiling using the total soil DNA in five contaminated habitats of north India, viz. chloroaromatic chemicals contaminated site (India Pesticide Limited, Chinhat, Lucknow), a river sediments (Gomti river sediment, Lucknow), heavy metal industry dump site (Jajmau industrial area Kanpur), a effluent treatment plant (CETP along Ganges river near Kanpur), and an oil refinery (Mathura oil refinery). Hybridization of 16S rRNA probes revealed the presence of bacteria similar to well characterized genera involved in biodegradation of pollutants. Genes involved in complete degradation pathways for hexachlorocyclohexane (lin), 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (tcb), naphthalene (nah), phenol (mph), biphenyl (bph), benzene (ben), toluene (tbm), xylene (xyl), phthalate (pht), Salicylate (sal) and resistance to mercury (mer) were detected with highest intensity. The most abundant genes belonged to hydroxylases, monooxygenases and dehydrogenases which were present in all the five samples. Many compound specific genes which initiate the degradation pathway were also detected. Thus, the array developed and validated here may be useful in assessing the biodegradative potential and composition of environmentally useful bacteria in hazardous ecosystems.

We have developed an oligonucleotide microarray for the detection of biodegradative genes and bacterial diversity and tested it in five contaminated ecosystems. The array has 60-mer oligonucleotide probes comprising 14,327 unique probes derived from 1,057 biodegradative genes and 880 probes representing 110 phylogenetic genes from diverse bacterial communities, and we named it as BiodegPhyloChip. The biodegradative genes are involved in the transformation of 133 chemical pollutants. Validation o ...[more]

Project description:We have implemented an integrated Systems Biology approach to analyze overall transcriptomic reprogramming and systems level defense responses in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana during an insect (Brevicoryne brassicae) and a bacterial (Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato strain DC3000) attack. The main aim of this study was to identify the attacker-specific and general defense response signatures in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana while attacked by phloem feeding aphids or pathogenic bacteria. Defense responses and networks, unique and specific for aphid or Pseudomonas stresses were identified. Our analysis revealed a probable link between biotic stress and microRNAs in Arabidopsis and thus opened up a new direction to conduct large-scale targeted experiments to explore detailed regulatory links among them. The presented results provide a first comprehensive understanding of Arabidopsis - B. brassicae and Arabidopsis - P. syringae interactions at a systems biology level. Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype Colombia-0) seeds were sown into 6-cm-diameter pots filled with a sterile soil mix (1.0 part soil and 0.5 part horticultural perlite). Plants were kept in growth chambers VM-CM-6tsch VB 1514 (VM-CM-6tch Industrietechnik GmbH, Germany) with a 16/8 h (light/dark) photoperiod at 22/18 M-BM-0C, 40/70% relative humidity, and 70/0 mmol m-2 s-1 light intensity. The Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato strain DC3000 culture was grown overnight in 10 ml of Kings B solution supplemented with antibiotics rifampicin (50 M-NM-<g mlM-bM-^HM-^R1) and kanamycin (25 M-NM-<g mlM-bM-^HM-^R1). Overnight culture was washed once in 10 mM MgCl2 and final cell densities were adjusted to approximately 0.20 at 600 nm (approximately 1.5 M-CM-^W 108 cfu mlM-bM-^HM-^R1) in 10 mM MgCl2. Plants were mock-challenged with 10 mM MgCl2 or inoculated with DC3000 strain, 3-4 leaves were infiltrated on the abaxial surface with a needleless 1-ml syringe.Whole rosettes were cut at the hypocotyls and harvested from Pseudomonas infested and mock-infected plants after 72 hours treatment. 4 biological replicates were prepared from each treatment, each containing rosettes from 15 individual plants. Differences in transcriptional responses were measured by comparing genes expression of Pseudomonas infected plants against mock-infected control plants.

Project description:This study was designed to explore the role of miRNA-146a (miR-146a) and its target genes in the endothelial cells. In this study we have demonstrated that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced upregulation of miR-146a in the human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and the induction was blocked by the silencing of the toll-like receptors (TLRs) adaptor molecules MyD88 and nonspecific NF-M-NM-:B inhibitor BAY 11-7082. In addition, knockdown of miR-146a by transfection of the locked nucleic acid (LNA)-antimiR-146a significantly decreased the increased cell migration and tube formation induced by LPS. A combined analysis of the bioinformatics miRanda algorithms and the whole genome expression microarray of the immunoprecipitated Ago2 ribonucleoprotein complex identified 14 transcripts as the potential target genes. Subsequent transfection with miR-146a precursor pre-miR-146a into the HUVEC validated that the CARD10 was the target gene of the miR-146a both in the transcript and protein level. immunoprecipitation of RNA-induced silencing complexes (RISC) with an Ago2-specific monoclonal antibody followed by RNA extraction and subsequent quantification of mRNAs on microarrays was utilized to identify mRNAs that are associated with the RNA-silencing machinery and are therefore targets of cellular miRNAs. In brief, 100 M-NM-<g of total protein was diluted with 200 M-NM-<L of PBS buffer (pH 7.4). For each sample, 25 M-NM-<L of Protein A/G plus agarose (Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX) was washed with PBS and incubated with 2 M-NM-<g of rabbit anti-Ago2 (Abcam, Cambridge, MA) or rabbit normal IgG (Santa Cruz) antibodies for 2 h at 4M-BM-0C. The beads containing the immobilized anti-Ago2 antibody were then added to 400 M-NM-<L of diluted serum and incubated for 4 h at 4M-BM-0C. The beads were washed 3 times with 1% NT-2 buffer (1% Nonidet P-40, 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, and 2 mM EDTA) and the mixture was split in half. Each sample was eluted in 600 M-NM-<L of lysis/binding buffer for total RNA extraction and subsequent whole genome array experiment. Microarray analyses. Microarray experiments were performed on the total RNA samples from the Ago2 immunoprecipitate (pooling from n=4 in each group) from 1M-CM-^W106 HUVEC with or without 1 M-NM-<g/mL LPS treatment for 24 h in the presence or absence of miR-146a knockdown by LNA-antimiR-146a or LNA-control, respectively. The procedures were carried out following the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys protocols. Briefly, 0.5 M-NM-<g of total RNA was amplified by a Fluorescent Linear Amplification Kit (Agilent Technologies) and labeled with Cy3-CTP or Cy5-CTP (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA) during the in vitro transcription process. RNA from the experimental groups and control group was labeled by Cy5 and Cy3, respectively. A total of 0.825 M-NM-<g of Cy-labled cRNA was fragmented to an average size of about 50-100 nucleotides by incubation with fragmentation buffer (Agilent Technologies) at 60oC for 30 minutes. Correspondingly fragmented labeled cRNA is then pooled and hybridized to Agilent Whole Human Genome 4x44k oligo microarray (Agilent Technologies) at 60M-BM-0C for 17 h. After washing and drying by nitrogen gun blowing, microarrays are scanned with an Agilent microarray scanner (Agilent Technologies) at 535 nm for Cy3 and 625 nm for Cy5. Scanned images are analyzed by Feature extraction software 9.5.3 (Agilent Technologies), an image analysis and normalization software is used to quantify signal and background intensity for each feature, substantially normalized the data by rank-consistency-filtering LOWESS method.
