Project description:This study is aimed for the identification of novel small RNAs under different ethanol producing conditions. We have applied transcriptome analysis to facilitate identification and validation of 15 novel sRNAs in Zymomonas mobilis. We furthermore characterize their expression in the context of high and low levels of intracellular ethanol. Here, we report that 3 of the sRNAs (Zms2, Zms4 and Zms6) are differentially expressed under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, when low and high ethanol productions are observed respectively. These data suggests that in this organism regulatory RNAs can be associated with metabolic functions involved in ethanol stress responses. Z. mobilis was grown under aerobic and anaerobic conditions which showed low and high ethanol production, respectively. Each samples were sequenced for identification of small RNA candidates and differentially expressed candidates between two conditions.

Project description:Changes in gene expression after treatment of E. coli cultures with mitomycin C were assessed using gene array technology. Unexpectedly, a large number of genes (nearly 30% of all genes) displayed significant changes in their expression level. Analysis and classification of expression profiles of the corresponding genes allowed us to assign this large number of genes into a dozen to two dozen small clusters of genes with similar expression profiles. This assignment allowed us to describe systematically the changes in the level of gene expression in response to DNA damage. Among the damage-induced genes more than a hundred are novel. From those genes involved in DNA metabolism that have not been previously shown to be induced by DNA damage, for example, the mutS gene involved in mismatch repair is especially noteworthy. In addition to the SOS response, we observed the induction of other stress response pathways such as those of oxidative stress and osmotic protection. Among the genes that are down-regulated in response to DNA damage are numerous protein biosynthesis genes. Analysis of the gene expression data highlighted the essential involvement of sigmaS regulated genes and the general stress response network in the response to DNA damage.

Project description:Changes in human bladder epithelial cell gene expression associated with interstitial cystitis or antiproliferative factor treatment. Explanted bladder epithelial cells from patients with interstitial cystitis (IC) have been shown to differ from explanted control cells in several ways, including production of an antiproliferative factor (APF), altered production of certain epithelial growth factors, and rate of proliferation. To better understand the role of the APF in abnormal bladder epithelial cell proliferation in IC, we studied gene expression patterns in normal bladder epithelial cells treated with APF vs. mock APF and compared them to expression patterns in IC vs. normal cells using microarray analysis. Oligo-dT-primed total cellular RNA was labeled with [33P]dCTP and hybridized to GeneFilter GF211 microarray membranes (Research Genetics) containing cDNA for 3,964 human genes. Thirteen genes that function in epithelial cell proliferation or differentiation were consistently differentially expressed in both IC (compared with control) and APF-treated (compared with mock APF-treated) normal bladder epithelial cells. The general pattern of gene expression in IC and APF-treated cells suggested a less proliferative phenotype, with increased expression of E-cadherin, phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase-associated protein 39, and SWI/SNF complex 170-kDa subunit, and decreased expression of vimentin, {alpha}2-integrin, {alpha}1-catenin, cyclin D1, and jun N-terminal kinase 1; these findings were confirmed for the structural gene products (E-cadherin, vimentin, {alpha}2-integrin, and {alpha}-catenin) by immunohistochemistry. These results are compatible with the previously noted decreased proliferation rate of IC and APF-treated normal cells, and indicate that the mechanism whereby APF inhibits cell proliferation may involve both downregulation of genes that stimulate cell proliferation along with upregulation of genes that inhibit cell growth.

Project description:The Eastern woodchuck (Marmota monax) is naturally infected with woodchuck hepatitis virus (WHV), a hepadnavirus closely related to the human hepatitis B virus (HBV). The woodchuck is used as an animal model for studying chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and HBV-associated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in humans, but the lack of sequence information has hitherto precluded functional genomics analysis. To address this major limitation of the model, we report here the sequencing, assembly and annotation of the woodchuck transcriptome, together with the generation of custom woodchuck microarrays. Using this new platform, we characterized the transcriptional response to persistent WHV infection and WHV-induced HCC. This revealed that chronic WHV infection, like HBV, is associated with (i) a limited intrahepatic type I interferon response, (ii) intrahepatic induction of markers associated with T cell exhaustion, (iii) elevated levels of suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) in the liver, and (iv) intrahepatic accumulation of neutrophils. Underscoring the translational value of the woodchuck model, this study also determined that WHV-induced HCC shares molecular characteristics with a subtype of human HCC with poor prognosis. Conclusion: Our data establish the translational value of the woodchuck model and provide new insights into immune pathways which may play a role either in the persistence of HBV infection or the sequelae of CHB. Custom microarrays, generated from sequences obtained in transcriptome sequencing of woodchuck liver and PBMCs, were used to examine non-tumor vs. tumor gene expression in liver samples obtained from animals chronically infected with WHV (n=13). Multiple technical replicates per woodchuck sample are included.
