Next generation sequencing facilitates quantitative analysis of Caenorhabditis elegans N2 wild type, emr-1(gk119), lem-2(tm1582) and emr-1(RNAi) lem-2(tm1582) transcriptomes.

ABSTRACT: Laminopathies are caused by mutations in components of the nuclear envelope (NE). While most NE components are widely expressed, laminopathies affect only a subset of tissues. However, the understanding of the molecular mechanisms that explain this phenomenon is still elusive. Here we have performed RNA-Seq analysis in adult C. elegans nematodes comparing gene expression in wild type and single and double mutants of two components of the NE, EMR-1 and LEM-2. Our data confirm that EMR-1 and LEM-2 facilitate gene repression and that both proteins control the expression of mainly muscle and neuronal genes. mRNA profiles of wild type, emr-1(gk119), lem-2(tm1582) and emr-1(RNAi) lem-2(tm1582) young adult worms were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate for the wild type and duplicates for the other backgrounds, using Illumina GAIIx.

DamID of Dam::LMN-1 and Dam::EMR-1 in Caenorhabditis elegans adult worms

Project description:Laminopathies are caused by mutations in components of the nuclear envelope (NE). While most NE components are widely expressed, laminopathies affect only a subset of tissues. However, the understanding of the molecular mechanisms that explain this phenomenon is still elusive. Here we have performed a genome wide DamID analysis in adult C. elegans nematodes comparing the DNA association profile of two components of the NE, Lamin/LMN-1 and Emerin/EMR-1. Although both proteins were associated to silent DNA, EMR-1 showed a predominant role in the anchoring of muscle and neuronal promoters to the nuclear periphery. Deletion of either EMR-1 or LEM-2, another integral NE protein, caused local changes in nuclear architecture with both increased and decreased LMN-1 association. Comparison of Dam::LMN-1 and Dam::EMR-1 DNA assotiation in wild type strains and Dam::LMN-1 DNA association in wild type, lem-2(tm1582) and emr-1(gk119) mutant backgrounds.

Chromatin organization in NPP-13 knockdown C. elegans embryos [seq]

Project description:C. elegans nuclear pore protein NPP-13 associates with small RNA genes transcribed by RNA Polymerase III. To test if the nuclear pore-chromatin interactions play a role in large-scale chromatin organization, we determined nuclear membrane-genome interactions and RNA Polymerase II localization in C. elegans embryos depleted for NPP-13. Genome-wide ChIP-seq and ChIP-chip for nuclear membrane protein LEM-2, RNA Polymerase II (AMA-1) and H3K4me3 were performed in mixed-stage C. elegans embryos depleted for NPP-13. As a control, ChIP was also performed in wild-type embryos treated with empty vector.

Hsp90-downregulation influences the heat-shock response, innate immune response and onset of oocyte development in nematodes.

Project description:Hsp90 is a molecular chaperone involved in the regulation and maturation of kinases and transcription factors. In C. elegans Hsp90 participates in the development of fertility, maintenance of muscle structure and the regulation of stress response and dauer state. To understand the consequences of Hsp90-depletion we studied Hsp90 RNAi-treated nematodes by DNA microarrays and mass spectrometry. We find that upon development of phenotypes the levels of chaperones and cofactors are increased, while specific proteins related to the innate immune response are specifically depleted. We further uncover Hsp90-dependent signatures of gonad development and larval development. Using reporter strains for the responsive genes skr-5, dod-24 and clec-60, we confirm an influence on the innate immune response in intestinal tissues, while alterations to development become evident in strains reporting on the presence of ZIP-8, CAV-1 and SEPA-1 in the gonad arms and very early embryos. These observations add molecular details to the Hsp90-dependent processes during development and stress responses and imply that multiple interactions of this chaperone system are relevant for the nematode’s life and development.

Histone Demethylase UTX-1 Regulates the Caenorhabditis elegans Lifespan by Targeting the Insulin/IGF-1 Signaling Pathway

Project description:Epigenetic modifications are thought to be important for gene expression changes during development and aging. However, besides the Sir2 histone deacetylase in somatic tissues and H3K4 trimethylation in germlines, there is scant evidence implicating epigenetic regulations in aging. The insulin/IGF-1 signaling (IIS) pathway is a major lifespan regulatory pathway. Here we show that progressive increases in gene expression and loss of H3K27me3 on IIS components are due, at least in part, to increased activity of the H3K27 demethylase UTX-1 during aging. RNAi of the utx-1 gene extended the mean lifespan of C. elegans by ~30%, dependent on DAF-16 activity and not additive in daf-2 mutants. The loss of utx-1 increased H3K27me3 on the Igf1r/daf-2 gene and decreased IIS activity leading to a more "naive" epigenetic state. Like stem cell reprogramming, our results suggest that reestablishing epigenetic marks lost during aging might help "reset" the developmental age of animal cells. Examination of H3K27me3 in young and old worms without or with Utx-1 RNAi.

Identify genes regulated by zip-2 in absence and presence of P. aeruginosa PA14 infection at 4h

Project description:Very little is known about how animals discriminate pathogens from innocuous microbes. To address this question, we examined infection-response gene induction in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. We focused on genes that are induced in C. elegans by infection with the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, but are not induced by an isogenic attenuated gacA mutant. Most of these genes are induced independently of known immunity pathways. We generated a GFP reporter for one of these genes, infection response gene 1 (irg-1), which is induced strongly by wild-type P. aeruginosa strain PA14, but not by other C. elegans pathogens or by other wild-type P. aeruginosa strains that are weakly pathogenic to C. elegans. To identify components of the pathway that induces irg-1 in response to infection, we performed an RNA interference screen of C. elegans transcription factors. This screen identified zip-2, a bZIP transcription factor that is required for inducing irg-1, as well as several other genes, and is important for defense against infection by P. aeruginosa. These data indicate that zip-2 is part of a specialized pathogen response pathway that is induced by virulent strains of P. aeruginosa and provides defense against this pathogen. Analysis of differential gene expression in adult N2 C. elegans treated with L4440 control RNAi or zip-2 RNAi, either uninfected (feeding on E. coli) or infected with P. aeruginosa PA14; samples were analyzed after 4 hours of infection
