Plant Viral Movement Protein-expressing Yeast Transcriptome compared with wild-type Yeast Transcriptome

ABSTRACT: Virus life cycle heavily depends on their ability to command the host machinery in order to translate their genomes. By using a yeast-based approach we have found that over expression of the PNRSV MP caused a severe growth defect in yeast cells. cDNA microarrays analysis carried out to characterise at the molecular level the growth interference phenotype reported the induction of genes related to amino acid deprivation suggesting that expression of MP activates the GCN pathway in yeast cells. Yeast cell cultures were grown 24h in minimal medium with doxycycline (100 mg/ml). These cultures were then diluted to an OD600 nm of 0.1 into fresh minimal medium without doxycycline. At 6 h total RNA was extracted from yeast cells transformed with the empty pCM262 vector (pCM construct) and pCM:MPpnrsv.

Project description:Human ES cells (hESCs) and human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are usually generated and maintained on living feeder cells like mouse embryonic fibroblasts or on a cell-free substrate like Matrigel. For clinical applications, a quality-controlled, xenobiotic-free culture system is required to minimize risks from contaminating animal-derived pathogens and immunogens. We previously reported that the pericellular matrix of decidua-derived mesenchymal cells (PCM-DM) is an ideal human-derived substrate on which to maintain hiPSCs/hESCs. In this study, we examined whether PCM-DM could be used for the generation and long-term stable maintenance of hiPSCs. Decidua-derived mesenchymal cells (DMCs) were reprogrammed by the retroviral transduction of four factors (OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, c-MYC) and cultured on PCM-DM. The established hiPSC clones expressed alkaline phosphatase, hESC-specific genes and cell-surface markers, and differentiated into three germ layers in vitro and in vivo. At over 20 passages, the hiPSCs cultured on PCM-DM held the same cellular properties with genome integrity as those at early passages. Global gene expression analysis showed that the GDF3, FGF4, UTF1, and XIST expression levels varied during culture, and GATA6 was highly expressed under our culture conditions; however, these gene expressions did not affect the cellsM-bM-^@M-^Y pluripotency. PCM-DM can be conveniently prepared from DMCs, which have a high proliferative potential. Our findings indicate that PCM-DM is a versatile and practical human-derived substrate that can be used for the feeder-cell-free generation and long-term stable maintenance of hiPSCs.

Total RNA was extracted from cells with RNeasy (Qiagen), and 100ng of total RNA was used to synthesize aRNA using the 3M-bM-^@M-^Y IVT Express Kit, according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions (Affymetrix Inc., Santa Clara, CA). After aRNA purification, 15 M-NM-<g of aRNA was fragmented and hybridized with a pre-equilibrated GeneChip array (Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 gene expression array, Affymetrix) at 45M-BM-0C for 16 hours. The GeneChip array was then washed, stained, and scanned according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions. The gene expression data were extracted using Affymetrix Expression Console software.

Project description:Biofilm formation is an important virulence trait of the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans. Large-scale genetics strategies aimed at identifying genes involved in biofilm development are hampered by lack of a complete sexual cycle in this diploid yeast in addition to the tedious generation of homozygous gene-deletion mutants. Gene overexpression is an attractive alternative strategy for large-scale phenotypic analyses and gene-function studies. We combined gene overexpression, strain barcoding and microarray profiling to screen a library of 531 C. albicans conditional overexpression strains (~10% of the genome) for genes affecting i) planktonic cell fitness and ii) biofilm development in mixed-population experiments. We found 5 genes whose overexpression affects planktonic strain fitness, including RAD53, RAD51, PIN4, orf19.2781, all encoding (or predicted to encode) regulators of DNA-damage response or cell-cycle progression and SFL2, involved in filamentous growth. We identified 16 and 4 genes (out of 531) whose overexpression respectively increases and decreases strain occupancy within the multi-strain biofilm. Strikingly, strains with increased abundance in the multi-strain biofilm were significantly enriched for genes encoding cell wall proteins (10 genes), including the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins Pga15, Pga19, Pga22, Pga59, Pga32 and Pga41. Data validation experiments using either individually- or competitively-grown overexpression and/or the respective knock-out strains revealed that the identified genes differently contribute to biofilm formation during specific stages of biofilm development, including increased or decreased substrate adherence (IHD1, PGA32, PGA37, PGA15, PGA22, PGA59 and PGA19) or biofilm biomass growth and cohesion (PGA15, PGA59 and PGA22). In line with the hypothesis that cell wall genes contribute to biofilm development, we show that strains overexpressing PGA15 or PGA22 display altered cell wall structures. Our study reveals that cell wall proteins are important actors during C. albicans biofilm formation and illustrates the powerful use of signature tagging in conjunction with gene overexpression for the identification of genes involved in processes pertaining to C. albicans virulence. A total of 8 samples are included in this study. For fitness profiling of planktonic cells, 2 biological replicates were analyzed (samples Pool_Fitness_planktonic_rep1 and Pool_Fitness_planktonic_rep2). For quantification of strain abundance during biofilm formation, 6 biological replicates were analyzed (Pool_Biofilm_rep1, Pool_Biofilm_rep2, Pool_Biofilm_rep3, Pool_Biofilm_rep4, Pool_Biofilm_rep5, Pool_Biofilm_rep6). Genomic DNA was purified and used as template to PCR-amplify barcodes, which were then used as probes for microarray hybridization. This experiment was done twice independently. For quantification of strain abundance during multi-strain biofilm formation, strain pools were grown in minimal GHAUM medium with or without doxycycline, each inoculum was then diluted to an OD600 of 1 in fresh minimal GHAUM medium with or without doxycycline and left at room temperature for 30 min, to allow further overexpression. Plastic slides (ThermanoxM-bM-^DM-"; Nunc) were immersed in the inoculum for 30 min at room temperature to allow adhesion of cells to the plastic substrate. The plastic slides were then transferred to the glass vessel of a 40-mL incubation chamber. This vessel has two glass tubes inserted to drive the entry of medium and air, while used medium is evacuated through a third tube. The flow of medium is controlled by a recirculation pump (IsmatecM-BM-.) set at 0.6 mL.min-1 and pushed by pressured air supplied at 105 Pa, conditions minimizing planktonic phase growth and promoting biofilm formation. The chambers with the plastic substrate were incubated at 37C and biofilms were grown for 40h followed by genomic DNA extraction, barcode amplification and differential labeling (dox-treated samples with Cy5, untreated samples with Cy3) and hybridization to barcode microarrays.
