Project description:In vitro production (IVP) has been shown to affect embryonic gene expression and often result in large offspring syndrome (LOS) in cattle and sheep. To dissect the effects of in vitro maturation, fertilization and culture, we compared the expression profiles of single bovine blastocysts generated by: 1) in vitro maturation, fertilization and culture (IVF); 2) in vivo maturation, fertilization and in vitro culture (IVD); and 3) in vivo maturation, fertilization and development (AI). To conduct expression profiling, total RNA was isolated from individual embryos, linearly amplified and hybridized to a custom bovine cDNA microarray containing approximately 6,300 unique genes. There were 306, 367 and 200 genes differentially expressed between the AI and IVD, IVF and IVD and AI and IVF comparisons, respectively. Interestingly, 44 differentially expressed genes were identified between the AI embryos and both the IVF and IVD embryos, making these potential candidates for LOS. There were 60 genes differentially expressed between the IVF embryos and the AI and IVD embryos. The Gene Ontology category M-bM-^@M-^\RNA processingM-bM-^@M-^] was over-represented among the genes that were down-regulated in the IVF embryos, indicating an effect of in vitro oocyte maturation/fertilization on embryonic gene expression. A culture effect on the expression of genes involved in translation was also observed by the comparison of AI to IVD embryos. Reference design with dye swap. 43 individual embryos were analyzed.

Project description:ra11-04_qtl - study of the transcriptional consequences of a growth qtl candidate (sg1) - We want to compare the transcriptome of Sg1 insertion mutant to a WT background to understand if this candidate has a role in gene expression regulation at the genome-wide level. - We are analysing a QTL named Sg1 quantitatively affecting the shoot growth in Arabidopsis thaliana. Sg1 mutation exhibits a large set of phenotypic consequences (growth, fitness,M-bM-^@M-&), and the penetrance of these defects increase over generations. The CATMA collaboration aims to perform a T-DNA mutant vs WT analysis, with the WT control being derived from the heterozygous T-DNA parent. A first homozygous generation hypotheticaly derived from the heterozygous T-DNA parent and a 4th homozygous generation showing more severe phenotypes are being compared to the WT (dye swap, biological repetitions). Whole plants were harvested 10 DAG at 11am for each genotype. 4 dye-swap - gene knock out

Project description:One of the key innovations of the flowering plants is their female reproductive organ, the carpel. Here we show that a mechanism controlling carpel margin development in the model flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana was recruited from light-regulated processes. This recruitment followed the loss from the basic Helix-Loop-Helix transcription factor SPATULA (SPT) of a domain previously responsible for its negative regulation by phytochrome. We propose that the loss of this domain was a prerequisite for the light-independent expression in female reproductive tissues of a genetic module that also promotes shade avoidance responses in vegetative organs. Striking evidence for this proposition is provided by the restoration of wild type carpel development to spt mutants by low red/far-red light ratios, simulating vegetation shade, which we show to occur via PHYB, PIF4 and PIF5. Our data illustrate the potential of modular evolutionary events to generate rapid morphological change, and thereby provide a molecular basis for neo-Darwinian theories that describe this non-gradualist phenomenon. Furthermore, the effects shown here of light quality perception on carpel development lead us to speculate on the potential role of light-regulated mechanisms in plant organs that, like the carpel, form within the shade of surrounding tissues. The SPATULA (SPT) coding sequence was fused to the 5M-bM-^@M-^Y-extremity of a sequence encoding the 75 C-terminal residues of the viral VP16 transcriptional activator and inserted into the pG0229-35S:GR plant transformation vector between the CaMV-35S promoter and sequences encoding the rat glucocorticoid receptor (GR), so as to conserve the entire reading frame. The resulting plasmid was transferred to Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58/pMP90 cells and used to transform A. thaliana Col-0 plants by standard methods. A homozygous, single-copy transformant was identified, from which two populations of ten T3 descendents were grown and treated by dipping of inflorescences for 2 min in cycloheximide (CHX; 10 M-BM-5g/ml) containing Silwet L-77 surfactant (0.01% v/v). This treatment reduced translation to approximately 5% of its native level in inflorescence tissues, as measured by the in vivo incorporation of [35S]-methionine into proteins. One hour later, inflorescence tissues of the two plant populations were dipped for 2 min in CHX solution, as described above, with and without dexamethasone (DEX; 10 M-BM-5M). After a further 2h, treated inflorescences, excluding open flowers, were harvested and pooled prior to RNA extraction for global gene expression analyses. Microarray analyses were performed using CATMA microarrays each containing 31776 gene-specific tags corresponding to 22089 A. thaliana genes. Three biological replicates were performed, based on three entirely separate induction experiments involving T3 plants from the same T2 parent. A transformed line containing a construction in which SPT had been replaced by an initiation codon and nuclear localization signal (NLS) was used to verify that the targets identified did not respond to the nuclear translocation of VP16-GR protein alone (35S:NLS-VP16-GR plants). In this NLS control experiment, two biological replicates were performed. One technical replicate with fluorochrome reversal was performed for each biological replicate. The labeling of cRNAs with Cy3-dUTP or Cy5-dUTP (Perkin-Elmer-NEN Life Science Products), the hybridization of these cRNAs to microarrays, and the subsequent scanning of microarrays, was performed as described by Lurin et al. (2004) Plant Cell 16, 2089-2103.

Project description:Sir2 is the most intensively discussed longevity gene in current aging research. Although the gene encoding for a NAD+-dependent histone deacetylase initially was found to extend lifespan of various organisms ranging from yeast to mammals, serious doubts regarding its role in longevity have been expressed recently. In this study, we tested whether tissue-specific overexpression of Sir2 in the adult fat body can extend lifespan when compared to genetically identical controls. We also wanted to elucidate the mechanisms by which fat body Sir2 promotes longevity by studying the phenotypic and transcriptional changes in the fat body. We found that moderate (3-fold) Sir2 overexpression in the fat body during adulthood only can promote longevity in both sexes by roughly 13 %. In addition, we obtained transcriptional profiles elicited by this overexpression and propose a role for Sir2 in lipid droplet biology especially under conditions of starvation. Furthermore, our data do not support the idea of Sir2 mediating the response to dietary restriction (DR) because transcriptional profiles of fat bodies after DR or Sir2 overexpression do not match. This study provides additional independent evidence for the concept of Sir2 as a longevity gene and as a promising pharmacological target to cure age-related diseases. 6 groups of sample types were included in the experiment: a) females overexpressing Sir2 in the fat body b) female controls c) males overexpressing Sir2 in the fat body d) male controls e) wildtype females subjected to DR f) wildtype females feeding on a normal diet. 3 biological replicates were included per group.

Project description:Although airway epithelia are primarily devoted to gas exchange, they have to fulfil a number of different tasks including organ maintenance and the epithelial immune response to fight airborne pathogens. These different tasks are at least partially accomplished by specialized cell types in the epithelium. In addition, a proximal to distal gradient mirroring the transition from airflow conduction to real gas exchange, is also operative. We analysed the airway system of larval Drosophila melanogaster with respect to region-specific expression in the proximal to distal axis. The larval airway system is made of epithelial cells only. Previously, it had been anticipated that these cells are very similar in their functional and transcript properties. We found differential expression between primary trunks of the airways and more distal ones comprising secondary and tertiary ones. Among these genes are especially those involved in signal transduction. A more detailed analysis was performed using DNA-microarray analyses to identify cohorts of genes that are either predominantly expressed in the primary or in the secondary/tertiary parts of the airways. Genes, including a putative mucin and the neuropeptide FMRFamide are predominantly found in primary branches, whereas the wnt- and the TGF-beta signalling pathways appear to be overrepresented in the secondary/tertiary ones. This differential expression is indicative for a proximal to distal transcriptional regionalization presumably reflecting functional differences in these parts of the flyM-bM-^@M-^Ys airway system. Trachea of wildtype L3 larvae were dissected and primary branches were processed seperately from secondary and tertiary branches. 3 biological replicates were included per group.

Project description:Background Array-based comparative genome hybridization (aCGH) is commonly used to determine the genomic content of bacterial strains. In aCGH data, systematic errors are comparable to those occurring in transcriptome data. However, especially for microbes, an additional source of variation exists: differences in hybridization due to gene sequence divergence between the strains hybridized. Current normalization methods do not take this source of variation into consideration. Results We present Supervised Lowess, or S-Lowess, an application of the subset Lowess normalization method that does take difference in genomic content into account. The performance of S-Lowess was assessed on aCGH experiments in which differentially labeled genomic DNA fragments of Lactococcus lactis IL1403 and L. lactis MG1363 strains were hybridized to IL1403 microarrays. Since both genome sequences are known (they have only on average 85 % sequence identity), the success rate in detecting deletions in the MG1363 genome of different aCGH normalization methods can be compared. S-Lowess detects 97% of the deletions, whereas other aCGH normalization methods detect up to only 60% of the deletions. Conclusions S-Lowess removes systematic errors from dual-dye aCGH data in two steps: (i) determination of likely homologous genes (LHG); and (ii) estimation of correction factors for systematic errors from spots of LHG and subset Lowess normalization of the remaining spots using these correction factors. It is implemented in a user-friendly web-tool accessible from http://bioinformatics.biol.rug.nl/websoftware/s-lowess. We demonstrate that it outperforms existing normalization methods and maximizes the number of detectable genomic deletions or duplications from microbial aCGH data. Keywords: comparative genome hybridisation In this study, 4 aCGH comparisons (slides) between L. lactis MG1363 and L. lactis IL1403 were performed (including dye swap with biological replicates; see also supplementary materials). The resulting aCGH slide signals were normalized using the different 'likely homologous gene' (LHG) sets (see above) yielding ratios of signals of labelled DNA of MG1363 over those of IL1403. A maximum of 8 ratios per amplicon (gene) were obtained for the 4 hybridized slides (each with 2 replicate spots per amplicon). Only genes with at least 5 measurements were used in this study. The normalization methods evaluated in this study are: a) no normalization, b) total signal normalization, c) grid-based Lowess (implemented in PreP; f = 0.7) [GarcM-CM--a de la Nava, J et al. 2003. Bioinformatics 19:2328-2329], and d) S-Lowess using different subsets of conserved lactococcal genes (for details see above). Results with the MANOR R package (spatial normalization; standard parameters) [Neuvial P, et al. 2006. BMC Bioinformatics 7:264; Liva S, et al. 2006.

Project description:ra09-03_sgs - mutants versus wt - Identification of new genes regulated by SGS1 and SGS6/UBP5 (two genes involved in PTGS) by analysis of the transcriptomes of sgs1 and sgs6 mutants compared to wild-type plants in the shoots of seedlings. The comparison between the transcriptomes of sgs3, chr11, chr17 simple mutants impaired differently in PTGS and development (juvenile-to-adult transition and bolting), and the transcriptomes of the sgs3 chr11, sgs3 chr17 double mutants showed additive effects on development (juvenile-to-adult transition and bolting), which allows a better understanding of the genetic link existing between SGS3 and its potential partners, CHR11 (which interacts with SGS3 in a two-hybrid assay and BiFC) and CHR17, 2 homologous proteins of the SWI/SNF2 family.
