Project description:Both genetic and environmental factors are implicated in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). Since environmental factors can trigger epigenetic changes, we hypothesized that variations in histone posttranslational modifications (PTMs) at the promoter/enhancer regions of T1D susceptible genes may be associated with T1D. We therefore evaluated histone PTM variations at known T1D susceptible genes in blood cells from T1D patients versus healthy non-diabetic controls, and explored their connections to T1D. We used the chromatin-immunoprecipitation-linked-to-microarray approach to profile key histone PTMs, including H3-lysine-4 trimethylation (H3K4me3), H3K27me3, H3K9me3, H3K9 acetylation (H3K9Ac) and H4K16Ac at genes within the T1D susceptible loci in lymphocytes, and H3K4me3, H3K9me2, H3K9Ac and H4K16Ac at the IDDM1 region in monocytes of T1D patients and healthy controls separately. We screened for potential variations in histone PTMs using computational methods to compare datasets from T1D and controls. Interestingly, we observed marked variations in H3K9Ac levels at the upstream regions of HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1 within the IDDM1 locus in T1D monocytes relative to controls. Additional experiments with THP-1 monocytes demonstrated increased expression of HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1 in response to interferon- and TNF-treatment that were accompanied by changes in H3K9Ac at the same promoter regions as that seen in the patient monocytes. These results suggest that the H3K9Ac status of HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1, two genes highly associated with T1D, may be relevant to their regulation and transcriptional response towards external stimuli. Thus, the promoter/enhancer architecture and chromatin status of key susceptible loci could be important determinants in their functional association to T1D susceptibility. We evaluated histone PTM variations at known T1D susceptible genes in blood cells from T1D patients versus healthy non-diabetic controls, and explored their connections to T1D. We used the ChIP-chip approach to profile key histone PTMs, including histone H3K4me3, H3K27me3, H3K9me3, H3K9 acetylation (H3K9Ac) and H4K16Ac, at genes within the T1D susceptible loci in lymphocytes.

We used microarrays to obtain global gene expression data in human lymphocytes. Human lymphocytes were prepared from four healthy non-diabetic volunteers. Total RNAs were extracted using Qiagen RNeasy mini kits following the manufacturer's instructions. Biotinylated single-strand cDNA was generated and subjected to expression profiling with Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays, followed by data analyses and conversion into expression measurements using Affymetrix's Expression Console v1.1.1. The data set is used for integration with ChIP array data.

Project description:In the present study we analyzed miRNA and mRNA expression profiles in human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) incubated in microgravity condition, simulated by a ground-based Rotating Wall Vessel (RWV) bioreactor. Our results show that 42 miRNAs were differentially expressed in MMG-incubated PBLs compared with 1g-incubated ones. Among these, miR-9-5p, miR-9-3p, miR-155-5p, miR-150-3p, and miR-378-3p were the most dysregulated. To improve the detection of functional miRNA-mRNA pairs we performed gene expression profiles on the same samples assayed for miRNA profiling and we integrated miRNA and mRNA expression data. The functional classification of miRNA-correlated genes evidenced significant enrichments in the biological processes of immune/inflammatory response, signal transduction, regulation of response to stress, regulation of programmed cell death and regulation of cell proliferation. We identified the correlation between miR-9-3p, miR-155-5p, miR-150-3p and miR-378-3p expression with that of genes involved in immune/inflammatory response (eg. IFNG and IL17F), apoptosis (eg. PDCD4 and PTEN) and cell proliferation (eg. NKX3-1 and GADD45A). Experimental assays of cell viability and apoptosis induction validated the results obtained by bioinformatics analyses demonstrating that in human PBLs the exposure to reduced gravitational force increases the frequency of apoptosis and decreases cell proliferation. microRNA expression profiling were carried out on total RNA extracted from PBLs of twelve healthy donors at the end of 24h-incubation time in MMG and in 1g conditions. Analyses were performed by using the M-bM-^@M-^\Human miRNA Microarray kit (V2)M-bM-^@M-^] (Agilent Technologies), that allows the detection of 723 known human (miRBase v.10.1) and 76 human viral miRNAs.By comparing the expression profile of MMG-incubated vs. 1g-incubated PBLs of the same donor, we found 42 differentially expressed miRNAs, 25 up-regulated and 17 down-regulated.

Project description:Purpose: Exploring the alteration in histone acetylation colocalized with CREB/CRTC binding, which are important for long-term memory maintenance Methods: The nuclei of Drosophila mushroom bodies were purified and the histone acetylation and CREB/CRTC binding were examined by ChIP-seq using specific antibodies. The sequencing was performed using SOLiD, and aligned to dm3 using Lifescope..The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed by peak calling using PICS and ERD equipped on Strand NGS software. This method using two algorisms excludes false-positive calling of peaks. The PICS and ERD were run using a default setting except for the following parameters; for PICS, 120 bp as an average fragment length, 10 bp as a minimum distance between forward and reverse reads, 200 bp as a minimum distance between forward and reverse reads, 100 bp as a window width, with 5% false discovery rate; for ERD, 2 as an enrichment factor, 100 bp as a window size, 10 bp as a window slide size, 100 bp as a minimum region size. The peaks obtained by ERD analysis were filtered by an enrichment factor of 1.5, and a density of reads at 0.3 for H3K9Ac, 0.15 for H4K16Ac, 0.18 for CREB and 0.15 for CRTC. To determine the histone acetylation-increased sites, the peaks determined from 3 replicates of the trained samples were summed to analyze all peaks. Then the centers of the H3K9Ac and H4K16Ac peaks were extracted, and then used to create neighboring 400 bp windows. The mapped reads were counted in these 400 bp windows for each biological replicate of ChIP-seq analysis. The counted read numbers in individual regions were normalized by elav for H3K9Ac ChIP-seq, and gapdh2 for H4K16Ac ChIP. The normalized read numbers in individual windows obtained from the spaced trained flies and the naïve flies were analyzed by Student’s t test (p < 0.05). Standard deviations of the normalized read numbers in individual windows from 3 replicates of naïve flies were 0.07 in H3K9Ac-ChIP-seq and 0.10 in H4K16Ac-ChIP-seq. Significantly increased peaks showing a more than 1.2-fold increase (>2SD) were determined as sites with an increase in H3K9Ac or H4K16Ac. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, the filtered reads amounted to 12-15 million reads for H3K9Ac in each of 3 replicates, 5-7 million reads for H4K16 in each of 3 replicates, 2.4 million reads for CREB, 2 million reads for CRTC, and 2.9 million reads for input. Using anti-H3K9Ac antibody, we found significant increases in H3K9Ac 1 day after training, and 75.0% of these mapped within 500bps of the transcriptional start sites (TSSs) of 1766 genes. Using anti-H4K16Ac antibody, we found significant increases in H4K16Ac 1 day after spaced training, and 61.6% of these mapped within 500bps of the TSSs of 1320 genes. Epigenetic changes in the vicinity of TSSs suggests that expression of these genes may be increased in LTM maintenance. We also examined CRTC and CREB binding 1 day after training. We identified 2390 CRTC binding sites, of which 79.6% of these were close to CREB binding sites. These CREB/CRTC binding sites mapped to 1394 genes, and were predominately located within 500bp from TSSs (55.4%). Of the 1394 CREB/CRTC target genes, 346 genes showed increases in H3K9Ac, 319 showed increases in H4K16Ac, and 135 showed increases in both. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of chromatin state related to memory in Drosophila mushroom bodied. The optimized data analysis workflows reported here should provide a framework for comparative investigations of tissue-specific epigenetic alterations.
