To understand the mechanisms controlling vein patterning in Arabidopsis thaliana, we analyzed two phenotypically similar mutants, varicose (vcs) and trident (tdt). We had previously identified VCS, and recently, human VCS was shown to function in mRNA decapping. Here, we report that TDT encodes the mRNA-decapping enzyme. VCS and TDT function together in small cytoplasmic foci that appear to be processing bodies. To understand the developmental requirements for mRNA decapping, we characterized th ...[more]

Project description:The anx/anx mouse displays poor appetite and lean appearance and is considered a good model for the study of anorexia nervosa. To identify new genes involved in feeding behavior and body weight regulation we performed an expression profiling in the hypothalamus of the anx/anx mice. Using commercial microarrays we detected 156 differentially expressed genes and validated 92 of those using TaqMan low-density arrays. Our results showed an enrichment of deregulated genes involved in cell death, cell morphology and cancer as well as an alteration of several signaling circuits involved in energy balance including neuropeptide Y and melanocortin signaling. The expression profile along with the phenotype let us to conclude that anx/anx mice resemble the anorexia-cachexia syndrome typically observed in cancer, infection with human immunodeficiency virus or chronic diseases rather than starvation, and that anx/anx mice could be considered a good model for the treatment and investigation of this condition. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA expression profile comparison between 3 pairs of anx/anx mice and wild type littermates in brain hypothalamus and neocortex

Project description:The HIVEP/ZAS/Schnurri genes encode large zinc finger proteins that regulate gene expression through DNA binding to the kappaB motif. The ZAS proteins have also been shown to associate with signaling molecules to regulate the TNFa and TGFb signaling pathways. Because ZAS3 transcript and protein expression is rapidly abrogated in primary lymphocytes upon tissue culture, we have generated a ZAS3-null mouse model to study the physiological function of ZAS3. Mice with targeted disruption of ZAS3 are viable with life span comparable to controls. Additionally, the gross anatomy and histology of the major organs, proliferation rates of splenocytes and thymocytes, and the diversity of the TCRb chains of ZAS3 mice are comparable to wild-type. However, compared to wild-type mice, there are decreased CD3+CD4+ and CD3+CD4+CD69+ thymocyte populations. Additionally, CD44hi/CD62Llo subset and CD25 and CD69 expression are increased in splenocytes of ZAS3 mice. Microarray analysis validated by real time PCR revealed changes in the expression level of specific transcripts in ZAS3-null thymus, including several proteins in the G-protein coupled olfactory receptor family. Furthermore, EMSA shows that disruption of ZAS3 results in varying changes in binding activities towards NF-kB and AP1 binding sites. Other phenotypes observed in the ZAS3 mice include generalized increased bone density in older animals and infertility in females. As with ZAS2/shn-2 mice, disruption of ZAS3 is not lethal and does not grossly affect development or homeostasis. We propose that the ZAS proteins likely have overlapping functions, which may be uncovered with deletion of multiple ZAS genes in a single animal. Experiment Overall Design: Five independent microarray hybridizations were performed with thymocytes isolated from sex- and age-matched mutant and wild-type littermates at 6-8 weeks of age. The Agilent Whole Mouse Genome Oligo Microarray (G4121A) containing over 20,000 60-mer oligonucleotide probes representing mouse genes, ESTs and EST clusters was used (Agilent, Cincinnati, OH). Probe labeling and hybridization were preformed by the Microarray Core Faculty (Columbus Childrenâs Research Institute) following the manufacturer's protocols. Briefly, cDNA probes were synthesized with Superscript III, oligo-dT primers and dNTPs supplemented with amino-allyl-UTP to improve hybridization characteristics and stability. After purification, cDNA samples from mutant or control mice were labeled with Cy3 or Cy5, respectively, and hybridized to the microarray for 14 hours at 48o C. Slide image was acquired using an Affymetrix 428 scanner with gain settings set so that 95% of spots were below saturation to yield the maximum dynamic range within an experiment. Images were converted into â.gprâ files using GenePix software (Axon, Union City, CA). Data were analyzed using GeneTraffic 2.6 software (Iobion, La Jolla, CA). Lowess-global normalization was applied to all experiments. Flagging parameters were set as spot intensity lower than the intensity of local spot background, spot intensity lower than average background, and raw spot intensity less than 100. Flagged spots were not included in normalization or aggregate calculations. Only genes that were induced or repressed 1.5-fold in at least four of the five independent analyses and hybridization were targeted for potential further study.

Project description:RNA from the aerial parts of 15-day-old eceriferum cer6-2 mutant and control plants were used in microarray experiments to screen for differentially expressed genes. Among those which were down regulated in the mutant, several were known to be involved in various plant defense mechanisms. The most remarkable difference was measured for the transcripts encoding the pathogenesis-related protein1 (PR-1), which is a marker of the systemic acquired resistance (SAR) pathway, with a 100-fold decrease in the cer6-2 mutant. Further Q-PCR experiments showed that the PR-1 transcript levels were low in two other eceriferum mutants, representing 1/200th and 1/25th of the normal values in the aerial part of 15-day-old cer2 and cer1-1 mutants, respectively. Interestingly, PR-1 mRNA levels were closed to the normal values in the cer3-1 and cer6-2R mutant, the latter being a plant where the synthesis of the very-long chain fatty acids, which is deficient in the cer6-2 plants, is partially restored. Altogether, these results strongly suggested that the amount of PR1-mRNA was not directly correlated to the amount of epicuticular wax on the leaves, but was rather correlated to the presence or absence of some particular lipid-constituents in the epicuticular wax layer.

Plant Science 2007; Volume 172, Issue 2, Pages 299-305 Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was purified from the aerial parts of 2-week-old plants (20 plants were pooled for each genotype). Arabidopsis plants were grown under long-day conditions (16 h light:8 h dark) at 22°C and 80% relative humidity. The control plants and the cer mutant were cultivated in the same phytotron, and the Petri dishes were placed randomly on the same shelf. This was done to avoid any difference in plant growth conditions between the mutants and the control plants. The microarrays used were Agilent Arabidopsis2.

Project description:A series of dual-channel gene expression profiles obtained using Rosetta/Agilent Whole Mouse Genome oligonucleotide microarrays, 4 x 44K format, was used to identify sex-dependent and HNF4alpha-dependent differences in gene expression in adult mouse liver. This series is comprised of four sex-genotype combinations: adult male wild-type liver (M-WT), adult female wild-type liver (F-WT), adult male liver-specific HNF4alpha knockout liver (M-KO) and adult female liver-specific HNF4alpha knockout liver (F-KO). Four pools, each comprised of 4 randomly selected individual liver RNAs, were prepared for each sex-genotype combination. The pools were paired randomly to generate 4 separate experimental comparisons: M-WT:F-WT (first array comparison), M-WT:M-KO (second array comparison), F-WT:F-KO (third array comparison), and M-KO:F-KO (fourth array comparison). A total of 4994 HNF4alpha-dependent genes were identified, of which ~1000 fewer genes responded to the loss of HNF4alpha in female liver as compared to male liver. Moreover, 90% of the genes showing sex-specific expression in the liver were shown to lose sex specificity in HNF4alpha-deficient liver. Experiment Overall Design: An Alexa555-labeled cDNA sample is co-hybridized with an Alexa647-labeled cDNA sample. The samples are then dye-swapped and compared again on a second microarray chip. Together, these two mixed cDNA samples are considered a fluorescent reverse pair (dye swap). Similarly, a second fluorescent reverse pair is generated and the two pairs are averaged. The normalized expression ratio for each array is reported along with the two separate intensities. In this way, dye swaps were carried out for each of the four experimental comparisons. Thus, four microarrays, one for each mixed cDNA sample, were hybridized for each of the four fluorescent reverse pairs, giving a total of 16 microarrays.

Project description:The loss-of-function mutation of the RGE1 (retarded growth of embryo) gene, which is expressed during seed development, caused small and shriveled seeds. The embryo of the loss-of-function mutant showed retarded growth after the heart stage although abnormal morphogenesis and pattern formation of the embryo and endosperm was not observed. RGE1 expression was determined in endosperm cells using the β-glucuronidase reporter gene and RT-PCR. The differences of expression profile between rge1-1 and wild type Col-0 was examined to know the functions of RGE1. The result of Microarray analysis showed specific down-regulation of putative GDSL motif lipase genes in the rge1-1 mutant indicating possible involvement of these genes in seed morphology. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was isolated from siliques of rge1-1 and wild type at 12 DAF using an RNAqueous Kit (Ambion, Inc, USA).

Project description:We generated more than 23,000 independent Arabidopsis transgenic lines that expressed rice fl-cDNAs (Rice FOX Arabidopsis lines). The short generation time and rapid and efficient transformation frequency of Arabidopsis enabled the functions of the rice genes to be analyzed rapidly. We screened rice FOX Arabidopsis lines for alterations in morphology, photosynthesis, element accumulation, pigment accumulation, hormone profiles, secondary metabolites, pathogen resistance, salt-tolerance, UV signaling, high light tolerance, and heat stress tolerance. Since we isolated 6 genes (AK069096, AK073112, AK073675, AK065297, AK102323 and AK073210) causing an increase in the abundance of metabolites or pigments detected by absorption data, we investigated the expression profiles in transgenic plants by using microarray analysis. Expression of the genes encoding chalcone synthase and dihydroflavonol-4-reductase was increased in all 6 cDNA transformants. These results indicate that an increase in expression of the genes encoding flavonoid biosynthesis enzymes caused an accumulation of pigments in these 6 transformants. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was isolated from aerial parts of re-transformants of some rice cDNAs and wild type using an RNAqueous Kit (Ambion, Inc, USA).

Project description:To gain mechanistic insights on RFL functions in rice architecture, we have employed global expression profilling to identify the genes regulated by RFL. Transgenic rice panicle RNAs down-regulated for RFL were compared with the wild type panicle RNA of similar developmental stage. Genes downregulated in transgenic lines will be those which expression requires functional RFL whereas upregulated genes will need RFL for their repression. Experiment Overall Design: Two independent biological RNA pools of dsRNAiRFL and RFL antisense transgenic panicles were compared with two independent wild type RNA pool in two different hybridizations. Two hybridizations were performed with reciprocally dye-labeled wild type RNA and respective mutant RNA.

Project description:ER bodies are endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-derived organelles that might be involved in defense systems. The NAI1 gene regulates the development of ER bodies because mutation of NAI1 abolishes the formation of ER bodies. The nai1-1 mutant had a single nucleotide change at an intron acceptor site of At2g22770 (NAI1 gene). Because of this mutation, aberrant splicing of NAI1 mRNA occurs in the nai1-1 mutant. NAI1 encodes a transcription factor that has a basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain. Transient expression of NAI1 induced ER bodies in the nai1-1 mutant. To identify genes that are related to ER bodies, we compared the genome-wide expression profiles of Col-0 and the nai1-1 mutant using DNA microarrays. Twenty-nine genes were found to be expressed at least 2-fold more strongly in the nai1-1 mutant than in Col-0, and 341 genes were found to be expressed at least 2-fold more strongly in Col-0 than in the nai1-1 mutant. The 15 genes that showed the strongest expression in Col-0 compared to the expression in nai1-1 are shown in Table 1. Five of these genes are JAL genes (JAL22, JAL23, JAL31, JAL33 and PBP1/JAL30). The mRNA level of PYK10 was reduced in nai1-1 (4.3 fold larger in Col-0 than in nai1-1). The mRNA levels of GLL genes (GLL23 and GLL25) were also reduced in nai1-1. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was purified from the roots of 20-day-old plants (3 plants were pooled for each genotype). Arabidopsis plants were grown under continuous light condition at 22ËC on MS medium paltes. The control plants and the nai1-1 mutant were cultivated in the same plate. This was done to avoid any difference in plant growth conditions between the mutants and the control plants.

Project description:This study analyzes gene expression associated with papilloma development in Tg.AC v-Ha-ras transgenic mice and identifies novel genes and biological processes that may be critical to skin carcinogenesis in these mice. Epidermal abrasion was used to synchronously induce epidermal regeneration in FVB/N wild type and transgenic Tg.AC mice. Skin papillomagenesis was uniquely induced in Tg.AC mice, and gene expression profiling was carried out using a 22,000 element mouse DNA microarray. Histological analysis showed that papillomas developed at a high rate by day 30 after abrasion in transgenic animals, while no papilloma developed in wild type mice. Transgene specific differentially expressed genes were identified at day 30 post-abrasion and these genes were annotated using EASE software and literature mining. Annotated and non-annotated genes associated with papilloma development were identified and clustering analysis revealed groups of genes that are coordinately expressed. A number of genes associated with differentiation and development were also physically clustered on mouse chromosome 16, including 16B3 that contains several Stefins and stefin-like genes, and 16A1 containing a number of keratin associated protein genes. Additional analyses presented here yield novel insights into the genes and processes involved in papilloma development in Tg.AC mice. Experiment Overall Design: Strains: Tg.AC vs FVB/N; Treatment: epidermal abrasion vs sham treatment, samples collected 3, 5, 9, 18, and 30 days post treatment; Microarray: 2-channel, pooled total RNA from 5 animals, 2 technical replicate arrays with dye-swaps.

Project description:Werner syndrome (WS) is a rare disorder characterized by the premature onset of a number of age-related diseases. The gene responsible for WS is believed to be involved in different aspects of transcription, replication, and/or DNA repair. We generated a mouse model with a deletion in the helicase domain of the murine WRN homologue that recapitulates most of the WS phenotypes including an abnormal hyaluronic acid excretion, higher reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, increased genomic instability and cancer incidence resulting in a 10-15% decreased life span expectancy. In addition, WS patients and Wrn mutant mice show hallmarks of a metabolic syndrome including premature visceral obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, insulin-resistant diabetes type 2 and associated cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we compared the expression profile of liver tissues from 9 months old Wrn mutant and wild type animals. Gene set enrichment analysis of the microarray data indicated that Wrn mutant mice exhibited down-regulation of genes normally decreased in several transgenic mouse models of hepatoma and during caloric restriction. Wrn mutant mice also altered the expression of genes involved in inflammation as well as in glutathione and xenobiotic metabolisms. These results indicate that Wrn mutant mice respond to the observed oxidative stress by altering the necessary pathways to survive. Vitamin C supplementation rescued the life span expectancy of Wrn mutant mice and reversed several age-related abnormalities in adipose, cardiac, and liver tissues, genomic integrity and inflammatory status. Finally, gene set enrichment analyses revealed that vitamin C decreased genes normally up regulated in human WS fibroblasts and cancers and it increased genes involved in tissue injury response and adipocyte dedifferentiation in obese mice. Experiment Overall Design: Microarray analyses were performed on the liver tissues of 9 months old mice. Four independent biological replicates of this experiment (wild type vs Wrn mutant or wild type vs vitamin C treated mutant mice) were carried out with a dye swap on two replicates of each genotype.
