Stress responses play an important role in shaping species distributions and robustness to climate change. We investigated how stress responses alter the contribution of additive genetic variation to gene expression during development of the purple sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, under increased temperatures that model realistic climate change scenarios.

Project description:Stress responses play an important role in shaping species distributions and robustness to climate change. We investigated how stress responses alter the contribution of additive genetic variation to gene expression during development of the purple sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, under increased temperatures that model realistic climate change scenarios. We first measured gene expression responses in the embryos by RNA-seq to characterize molecular signatures of mild, chronic temperature stress in an unbiased manner. We found that an increase from 12 °C to 18 °C caused widespread alterations in gene expression including in genes involved in protein folding, RNA processing, and development. To understand the quantitative genetic architecture of this response, we then focused on a well-characterized gene network involved in endomesoderm and ectoderm specification. Using a breeding design with wild-caught individuals, we measured genetic and gene-environment interaction effects on 72 genes within this network. We found genetic or maternal effects in 33 of these genes, and that the genetic effects were correlated in the network. 14 network genes also responded to higher temperatures, but we found no significant genotype-environment interactions in any of the genes. This absence may be due to an effective buffering of the temperature perturbations within the network. In support of this hypothesis, perturbations to regulatory genes did not affect the expression of the genes that they regulate. Together, these results provide novel insights into the relationship between environmental change and developmental evolution and suggest that climate change may not expose large amounts of cryptic genetic variation to selection in this species. 191 samples representing 32 cultures from 8 male and 8 female parents, grown in replicate at 3 temperatures

Project description:Transcription factor SoxC is required for all neural development in purple sea urchin S. purpuratus embryos. To begin to develop a gene regulatory network for neural development, we used RNA-Seq to compare transcript populations in SoxC knockdown and control embryos. SoxC function was knocked down by morpholino oligo injection. RNA from about 1000 embryos were collected for both control and knockdown samples.

Project description:For unbiased, whole-organism wide cell type profiling, we randomly sampled cells from dissociated Platynereis larvae. To generate the single-cell mRNA-sequencing data, P. dumerilii larvae were dissociated, followed by cell capture, cDNA synthesis and amplification on the C1 Single-Cell Auto Prep IFCs for 5-10 um or 10-17 um cells (Fluidigm). Sequencing libraries were produced using Nexera XT DNA kit (Illumina). In total, we sequenced 596 samples, of which 373 correspond to single, alive cells that passed the quality check criteria. Part of this dataset was previously published (ArrayExpress accession number E-MTAB-2865). Here, we publish additional 383 sequenced cells.

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are covalently closed single-stranded RNA molecules produced by reverse splicing of the precursor mRNAs of thousands of gene exons in eukaryotes. Some circRNAs play potentially important roles at the molecular level through different modes of action in physiological and pathological conditions. In recent years, it has been found that differentially expressed circRNAs are present in chondrocyte degeneration in OA and are able to modulate the inflammatory response in chondrocyte degeneration. However, the molecular mechanisms of how circRNAs regulate the inflammatory response during chondrogenic degeneration in OA have not been adequately studied. Are there other circRNAs involved in regulating the inflammatory response during knee OA chondrocyte degeneration and are there other molecular mechanisms by which circRNAs regulate chondrocyte degeneration? These scientific questions deserve relevant studies.

Project description:Both gene and miRNA expression patterns separately correlate with survival in breast cancer suggesting that the development of models using both miRNAs and gene markers might improve their prediction performance. In this study miRNAs significantly associated with development of distant metastasis were identified and further investigated and validated in the publicly available dataset from the METABRIC. A combined outcome prediction model using gene expression, miRNA expression and clinico-pathological features was implemented. Fresh-frozen primary tumors were obtained from 123 patients with operable breast cancer previously untreated, pathologically defined as axillary node-negative and undergoing radical or conservative surgery at the Istituto Nazionale Tumori of Milano (INTM) between1990 and 1998. Patients were selected in order to have a comparable pattern of classical risk factors (age, tumor size).

Project description:Understanding cell type identity in complex tissues or organisms requires integration of each cell's expression profile with its spatial location within the tissue under study. We developed a high-throughput method that combines in vitro single-cell RNA-sequencing with a gene expression atlas to map single cells back to their location within the tissue of interest. We used the developing brain of a marine annelid, Platynereis dumerilii that is an important model system for studying bilaterian brain evolution, to benchmark our approach. To generate the single-cell mRNA-sequencing data, P. dumerilii larval brains were dissociated, followed by cell capture, cDNA synthesis and amplification on the C1 Single-Cell Auto Prep IFC for 10-17 um cells (Fluidigm). Sequencing libraries were produced using Nexera XT DNA kit (Illumina). In total, we sequenced 213 samples, of which 129 correspond to single, alive cells (as judged by visual inspection of the captured cells) with the remainder consisting of a variety of single dead cells (n=18), wells containing extracellular matrix contaminants (n=8) or multiple cells (n=17), as well as a negative controls where no cells were observed (n=41). For this dataset, we achieved ~90% success rate for the spatial mapping of the single-cell RNA-seq data to P. dumerilii brain atlas. NOTE: 72 additional samples were added on 13th December 2014.

Project description:Comparison of gene expression profiles between a primary melanoma and an early metastatic specimen from the same patient will provide essential biological insight into early metastatic processes. The DASL (cDNA mediated annealing, selection, extension and ligation) assay has been used to generate gene expression data for 502 cancer-related genes from very small formalin-fixed sentinel node biopsy (SNB) melanoma samples, this data has been further compared with gene expression of the matched formalin-fixed primary melanoma. Tissue was sampled from twenty-five SNB deposits using laser capture microdissection. The mean number of genes detected using DASL with SNB samples was lower than when using a core of primary melanoma tumor (242 versus 434 genes). A large proportion of SNB samples failed (<240 genes detected) the assay (57.7%). Area of tissue microdissected, RNA concentration and qRT-PCR quality control did not predict performance of samples on the array but age of sampled tissue negatively correlated with number of genes detected (p=0.01). For samples that performed successfully, matched primary samples were available for 10 samples. Gene expression profiles correlated between all matched tumor pairs (Spearman’s rho 0.15-0.80, p<0.01), although a number of genes were differentially expressed between nodal and primary tumors in all tumor pairs. This study demonstrates that the DASL assay can be used to generate gene expression data from small formalin-fixed samples, but not consistently. Differentially expressed genes were identified across 10 matched primary and nodal tumor pairs suggesting that the DASL assay could be used to derive essential biological information about early metastasis. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded SNB samples and primary tumors were identified from two study sets. In Study 1, population ascertained melanoma patients were recruited to a cohort in the period from 2000 till the present day. Eight positive SNB samples were identified, from patients whose primary tumors had already been sampled for DASL studies. In Study 2, seventeen positive SNB samples were identified in a study designed to identify predictors of sentinel node positivity and relapse (SNB study). One nodal RNA sample, microdissected from a diagnostic H&E slide, was not sent for DASL analysis because of low RNA concentration (0.37 ng/μl), therefore a total of 26 nodal samples (including 2 replicate samples) were supplied to the Illumina DASL service provider. Of the 11 samples successfully yielding gene expression data, 10 had matched primary samples (e.g., Node_1 and Primary_1) for which gene expression data were available and is presented in this data set.
