Microarray-based gene expression profiles of silkworm brains

ABSTRACT: Molecular genetic studies of Bombyx mori have led to profound advances in understanding the regulation of development. Bombyx mori brain, as a main endocrine organ, plays important regulatory roles in various biological processes. The microarray technology will allow the genome-wide analysis of gene expression patterns in silkworm brains. We reported microarray-based gene expression profiles in silkworm brains at four stages including V7, P1, P2 and P3. A total of 4,550 genes were transcribed in at least one selected stage. Of these, clustering algorithms separated the expressed genes into stable expressed genes and variable expressed genes. The results of the gene ontology (GO) and kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) analysis of stable expressed genes showed that the ribosomal and oxidative phosphorylation pathways were principal pathways. Secondly, four clusters of genes with significantly different expression patterns were observed in the 1,175 variable expressed genes. Thirdly, thirty-two neuropeptide hormones genes, nine neuropeptide-like precursor genes, and 117 cuticular protein genes were expressed in selected developmental stages. The present study deﬁned major characteristics of the transcriptional profiles in the brains of Bombyx mori at the specific development stages. Our data will provide abundant information that will be useful in future research. Transcription profiling experiments, 4 developmental stages (samples) were analyzed. Dual-channel experiments, with test samples labeled by Cy5 and common reference samples labeled by Cy3. Common reference sample was used for data normalization. One Biological replicate. No dye-swaps.

Project description:Comparative analysis of tobacco leaves transcriptomes unveils carotenoid pathway potentially determined the characteristics of aroma compounds in different environmental regions. Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) is a sensitive crop to environmental changes, and a tobacco with unique volatile aroma fractions always formed in specific ecological conditions. In order to investigate the differential expressed genes caused by environmental changes and reveal the formation mechanism of characteristics of tobacco in three different aroma tobacco regions of Guizhou Province, Agilent tobacco microarray was adapted for transcriptome comparison of tobacco leaves in medium aroma tobacco region Kaiyang and light aroma tobacco regions Weining and Tianzhu. Results showed that there was big difference among the gene expression profiles of tobacco leaves in different environmental conditions. A total of 517 differential expressed genes (DEGs) between Weining and Tianzhu were identified, while 733 and 1,005 genes differentially expressed between Longgang and another two tobacco regions Weining and Tianzhu, respectively. Compared with Longgang, up-regulated genes in Weining and Tianzhu were likely involved in secondary metabolism pathways, especially carotenoid pathway, including PHYTOENE SYNTHASE, PHYTOENE DEHYDROGENASE, LYCOPENE ε-CYCLASE, CAROTENOID β-HYDROXYLASE and CAROTENOID CLEAVAGE DIOXYGENASE 1 genes, while most down-regulated genes played important roles in response to temperature and light radiation, such as heat shock proteins. Gene Ontology and MapMan analyses demonstrated that the DEGs among different environmental regions were significantly enriched in light reaction of photosystem II, response of stimulus and secondary metabolism, suggesting they played crucial roles in environmental adaptation and accumulation of aroma compounds in tobacco plants. Through comprehensive transcriptome comparison, we not only identified several stress response genes in tobacco leaves from different environmental regions but also highlighted the importance of carotenoid pathway genes for characteristics of aroma compounds in specific growing regions. Our study primarily laid the foundation for further understanding the molecular mechanism of environmental adaptation of tobacco plants and molecular regulation of aroma substances in tobacco leaves. In order to investigate the differential expressed genes caused by environmental changes and reveal the formation mechanism of characteristics of tobacco in three different aroma tobacco regions of Guizhou Province, Agilent tobacco microarray was adapted for transcriptome comparison of tobacco leaves in medium aroma tobacco region Kaiyang and light aroma tobacco regions Weining and Tianzhu.

Project description:Hpa1Xoo-Mediated Transcriptome in Transgenic Cotton Reveals the Constitutively Expressed Diverse Defense genes in Multiple Signaling Pathways Associated with Hypersensitive Cell Death Like other harpins, harpinXoo enables plants to acquire multiple resistance to pathogen and insect attack. However, the molecular model is not fully understood, especially in transgenic plant harpinXoo for genome-wide constitutive expression. Here, we showed that 530 cDNAs differentially expressed in transgenic hpa1Xoo-harboring cotton (T-34) compared to its receiptor (Z35), through analyzing the transcriptome profile in a customized cotton 12k cDNA microarray, which was enriched in 34 pathways. Among them, 123 genes were identified from T-34 as hypersensitive reaction-mediated defense genes, involved in reactive oxygen species-, salicylic acid-, jasmonates-, ethylene-, auxin-, abscisic acid-, and Ca2+-mediated signaling pathways, and we uncovered various components of defense responses associated with recognition of the pathogen-derived elicitor. Apart from elevated genes for basic defense, harpinXoo activated leucine-rich-repeat plant receptor kinases and mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade to strengthen downstream defense responses, including production of antimicrobial compounds in T-34. Defense genes from T-34 were expressed at a much higher level in response to pathogen infection compared with Z35. Simultaneous up- and down-regulation in differentially-expressed genes, and increased expression of genes encoding energy producing and consuming pathways, suggested that energy balance was maintained in the genetically modified cotton without biotic stress. High-energy demand only occurred following pathogen infection. Using kanamycin-resistance tests, positive plants were successfully screened from transgenic cotton T-34 T6 progenies; all the receiptor Z35 plants gave negative results. We randomly selected three positive plants for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis; the different positive bands (420, 310 and 180 bp) were confirmed as harpinXoo, the 35s promoter, and the NOS terminator, respectively, by sequencing and BLAST searches (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.). For further analysis, the positive results were confirmed by Southern and western blots. Three positive bands were obtained in each T-34 sample located at about 4, 6 and 10 kb in the Southern blot. This pattern suggests that T-34 incorporated the harpinXoo transgene at multiple chromosomal locations. Western blot analysis showed that the harpinXoo protein was constitutively expressed in T-34 transgenic lines, whereas it was barely detectable in Z35 (data not shown). The transgenic plants contained a selectable ‘marker’ gene, neomycin phosphotransferase II (nptII). Previous research showed that expression of marker genes (e.g. nptII, uidA, hph and uidA-gfp) did not contribute to visible phenotypes in transgenic plants. The non-targeted transgenic and non-transgenic plants were equivalent in their global patterns of transcription (El Ouakfaoui and Miki, 2005). Thus, the present study examined the many differences between T-34 and its receiptor Z35 in regard to the whole genome expression of G. hirsutum using microarrays to monitor changes in individual gene expression level effected by harpinXoo. All experiments were conducted using the 12k cotton cDNA microarray, and cotton true leaves and roots at the 4–5-true-leaf-stage. The use of this microarray enabled a quantitative approach to examine changes in transcript level for all genes within the G. hirsutum genome; as a result, inferences can be drawn regarding the molecular effects of transgenic cotton expressing harpinXoo. There were three biological replicates in the experiment for each organ.
