Project description:gene expression was measured in five independent heat resistance selected replicate lines and five control lines. The genetic architecture underlying heat resistance remains partly unclear despite the well documented involvement of heat shock proteins (Hsps). It was previously shown that factors besides Hsps are likely to play an important role for heat resistance. In this study, gene expression arrays were used to make replicate measurements of gene expression before and up to 64h after a mild heat stress treatment, in flies selected for heat resistance and unselected control flies, to identify genes differentially expressed in heat resistance selected flies. We found 108 genes upregulated and 10 downregulated using the Affymetrix gene expression platform. Among the upregulated genes, a substantial number are involved in the phototransduction process. Another group of genes upregulated in selected flies is characterized by also responding to heat shock treatment several hours after peak induction of known Hsps revert to non-stress levels. These findings suggest phototransduction genes to be critically involved in heat resistance, and support a role for components of the phototransduction process in stress sensing mechanisms. In addition the results suggest yet uncharacterized genes responding to heat stress several hours after treatment to be involved in heat stress resistance. These findings mark an important increase in the understanding of heat resistance. Keywords: control versus selected

Project description:A study evaluating the effect of stress resistance selection of Drosophila melanogaster. Abstract; Here, we report a detailed analysis of changes in gene expression in Drosophila melanogaster selected for multiple ecologically relevant environmental stress resistance traits. We analyzed females from three biological replicates from seven selection regimes and one control regime using whole genome gene expression arrays. Replicated selection lines were selected for resistance to acute heat survival, high temperature knock down, constant 30 degress C during development, cold shock survival, desiccation and starvation, respectively. Additionally, a set of replicated lines was selected for increased longevity. When compared to gene expression profiles of control lines, we were able to detect consistent selection responses at the transcript level in each specific selection regime and also found a group of differentially expressed genes that were generally changed among all selected lines. Replicated selection lines clustered together, i.e. showed similar changes in gene expression (compared to controls) and thus showed that 10 generations of artificial selection gives a clear signal among gene expression profiles. The changes in gene expression in lines selected for increased longevity, desiccation and starvation resistance, respectively, showed high similarities. Cold resistance selected lines showed little differentiation from controls. Different methods of heat selection (heat survival, heat knock down and constant 30 degrees C) showed little similarity verifying that different mechanism are involved in high temperature adaptation. The direction of change in gene expression in the selected lines showed a consistent pattern for each selection regime. For most selection regimes and in the comparison of all selected lines and controls exclusively up- or down regulation of gene expression among significant differentially expressed genes was found. The different responses to selection expressed in individual selection regimes and among all selected lines indicate that we have identified genes involved in stress specific and general stress response mechanisms. Experiment Overall Design: gene expression was measured in biological triplicates of control flies and flies selected for resistance to various stressors.

Project description:Environmental stress, such as oxidative or heat stress, induces the activation of the heat shock response
(HSR) and leads to an increase in the heat shock proteins (HSPs) level. These HSPs act as molecular
chaperones to maintain cellular proteostasis. Controlled by highly intricate regulatory mechanisms,
having stress-induced activation and feedback regulations with multiple partners, the HSR is still
incompletely understood. In this context, we propose a minimal molecular model for the gene
regulatory network of the HSR that reproduces quantitatively different heat shock experiments both
on heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) and HSPs activities. This model, which is based on chemical kinetics
laws, is kept with a low dimensionality without altering the biological interpretation of the model
dynamics. This simplistic model highlights the titration of HSF1 by chaperones as the guiding line of
the network. Moreover, by a steady states analysis of the network, three different temperature stress
regimes appear: normal, acute, and chronic, where normal stress corresponds to pseudo thermal
adaption. The protein triage that governs the fate of damaged proteins or the different stress regimes
are consequences of the titration mechanism. The simplicity of the present model is of interest in
order to study detailed modelling of cross regulation between the HSR and other major genetic
networks like the cell cycle or the circadian clock.

Project description:Heat stress occurrence during endosperm development and seed filling forms chalky portion in the limited zone of starchy endosperm of rice grains. In this study, isolation of aleurone, dorsal, central and lateral tissues of developing endosperm by laser-microdissection (LM) coupled with gene expression analysis of 44K microarray was performed to identify key regulatory genes involved in the formation of milky-white (MW) and white-back (WB) chalky grains during heat stress. Gene regulatory network analysis classified the genes changed under heat stress into five modules. the modules of genes changed in developing starchy endosperm corresponding to MW and WB portion under heat stress suggested different regulatory genes involved in each type of grain chalk. The most distinct expression pattern was observed in a M1 and M2 modules where most of the small heat shock proteins and cellular organisation genes being upregulated under heat stress in dorsal aleurone cells and dorsal starchy endosperm zones The histological observation supported the significant increase in cell number and size of dorsal aleurone cells in WB grains. With regard to the central zone of starchy endosperm, preferential downregulation of high molecular weight heat shock proteins (HMW HSPs) including a prominent member encoding for endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperones by heat stress were observed, while expression of starch-biosynthesis genes remained unaffected. Characterization of transgenic plants supressing endosperm lumenal binding protein (BiP1), an ER chaperone preferentially downregulated at MW portion under heat stress, showed an evidence of forming the chalky grains without disturbing the expression of starch-biosynthesis genes. The present LM-based comprehensive expression analyses provides novel inferences that HMW HSPs play important role in controlling the redox, nitrogen and amino aicd metabolism in endosperm leading to the formation of MW and WB chalky grains.Keywords ; developing endosperm, gene expression, grain chalkiness, heat stress, laser-microdissection, Oryza sativa.

Project description:Gene expression was measured in control and heat resistance selected adult female flies before and at 8 time points after heat stress for 1h @ 36 degrees,Abstract The availability of full genome sequences has allowed the construction of microarrays, with which screening,of the full genome for changes in gene expression is possible. This method can provide a wealth of information about,biology at the level of gene expression and is a powerful method to identify genes and pathways involved in various,processes. In this study, we report a detailed analysis of the full heat stress response in Drosophila melanogaster,females, using whole genome gene expression arrays (Affymetrix Inc, Santa Clara, CA, USA). The study focuses on,up- as well as downregulation of genes from just before and at 8 time points after an application of short heat hardening,(368C for 1 hour). The expression changes were followed up to 64 hours after the heat stress, using 4 biological,replicates. This study describes in detail the dramatic change in gene expression over time induced by a short-term,heat treatment. We found both known stress responding genes and new candidate genes, and processes to be involved,in the stress response. We identified 3 main groups of stress responsive genes that were earlyâ??upregulated, earlyâ??,downregulated, and lateâ??upregulated, respectively, among 1222 differentially expressed genes in the data set. Comparisons,with stress sensitive genes identified by studies of responses to other types of stress allow the discussion of,heat-specific and general stress responses in Drosophila. Several unexpected features were revealed by this analysis,,which suggests that novel pathways and mechanisms are involved in the responses to heat stress and to stress in,general. The majority of stress responsive genes identified in this and other studies were downregulated, and the,degree of overlap among downregulated genes was relatively high, whereas genes responding by upregulation to heat,and other stress factors were more specific to the stress applied or to the conditions of the particular study. As an,expected exception, heat shock genes were generally found to be upregulated by stress in general.

Project description:Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are molecular chaperones primarily involved in maintenance of protein homeostasis. Their function has been best characterized in heat stress (HS) response during which Hsps are transcriptionally controlled by heat stress transcription factors (Hsfs). The role of Hsfs and Hsps in HS-response in tomato was initially examined by transcriptome analysis using the Massive Analysis of cDNA Ends (MACE) method. Approximately 9.6% of all genes expressed in leaves are enhanced in response to HS, including a subset of Hsfs and Hsps. The underlying Hsp-Hsf networks with potential functions in stress responses or developmental processes were further explored by meta-analysis of existing microarray datasets. We identified clusters with differential transcript profiles with respect to abiotic stresses, plant organs and developmental stages. The composition of two clusters points toward two major chaperone networks. One cluster consisted of constitutively expressed plastidial chaperones and other genes involved in chloroplast protein homeostasis. The second cluster represents genes strongly induced by heat, drought and salinity stress, including HsfA2 and many stress-inducible chaperones, but also potential targets of HsfA2 not related to protein homeostasis. This observation attributes a central regulatory role to HsfA2 in controlling different aspects of abiotic stress response and tolerance in tomato. 2 samples

Project description:To identify biological function of HSFB transcriptional repressor, we subjected hsfb1 hsfb2b double mutant and wild-type Arabidopsis plant under heat condition (32 Celsius degree) and did microarray experiment. The microarray experiment under non-heated condition is described in GSE14702. We found expression of many heat-shock proteins (HSPs) is not fully enhanced in the double mutant when compared to wild-type plant. This data suggest that the inhibition of expression of HSPs in non-heated condition is important for fully heat-stress response in plant.
