Project description:We utilized a candidate gene approach using custom microarray constructed for our study species Drosophila montana and D. virilis to identify genes with modulated expression patterns under low temperature conditions. The flies were exposed to four different treatments (+5°C for 6 days, 0°C for 1 hour, two periods of recovery after cold stress and a control treatment). The aim of the study was to identify potential cold-responsive genes and to investigate differences in gene expression between the species. Microarray analysis revealed altogether 31 out of 219 genes on the array to show expression changes during different stages of cold stress. Among the potential stress tolerance genes detected earlier in D. melanogaster, hsr-omega was upregulated in both species during cold acclimation, expression changes in other genes being treatment- and species specific. Our microarray study clearly showed that different stages of cold response elicit changes at least in genes involved in heat shock response, circadian rhythm and metabolism. Cold- induced gene expression was investigated comparing four different treatments to the control treatment: 1) Cold acclimation: 14 days in control conditions, then 6 days at +5°C 2) Cold hardening: 20 days in control conditions, then1 hour at 0°C 3) 15-min recovery from chill coma: the 20-day-old flies were exposed to -6°C for 16 hours, after which they were let to recover for 15 minutes 4) 1-hour recovery from chill coma: the 20-day-old flies were exposed to -6°C for 16 hours, after which they were let to recover for 1 hour. In control treatment flies were kept for 20 days at 19°C. All the flies were 20-days old at the time of sample collection, and the light:dark cycle was 22 hours of light and 2 hours of dark. Because of the limited space on the array plate, the recovery samples were collected only for D. montana. All the samples were collected 5-6 hours after the lights had been turned on in the chamber and the flies were immediately immersed in liquid nitrogen, after which they were stored at -84ºC. Three pools of ten flies were collected from each treatment group.

Project description:Cold exposure leads to alteration in the structure of the male sex chromosome of the mutant strain In(1)BM2(reinverted). Genome wide expression profiling was used to identify candidate genes involved in the expression of this phenotype. Adult male flies were exposed to cold shock at 12±1°C for 4 hours and the differentially expressed genes in the strain was compared to similarly exposed wild type Oregon R males. The microarray data was further validated using real time PCR.

Project description:Sorghum is an important crop often subjected to simultaneous high temperatures and drought in the field. We examined the gene expression response to heat and drought stress both individually, and in combination, with the aim of identifying important stress tolerance mechanisms. Plants were subjected to 4 different conditions (control, heat shock, drought stress and combined heat and drought stress). 3 replicates were carried out for each treatment type giving a total of 12 samples

Project description:Apoptosis is required not only for proper morphogenesis and tissue size regulation during development, but also for removing damaged or unwanted cells to maintain homeostasis. Apoptosis is mainly executed by evolutionally-conserved signaling process including caspases and its activator, dark. We performed microarray analysis of darkcd4 mutant flies to reveal the changes in gene expression. We found the elevated immune reaction, suggesting that inflammatory response was triggered by necrosis in darkcd4 . We collected total RNA from day 5 adult of darkcd4 mutant flies backcrossed six generations to w1118. w1118 was used as control. N=4 for each sample.

Project description:The role of Group IVA cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2M-NM-1) activation in regulating macrophage transcriptional responses to Candida albicans infection was investigated. cPLA2M-NM-1 releases arachidonic acid for the production of eicosanoids. In mouse resident peritoneal macrophages, prostacyclin, prostaglandin E2 and leukotriene C4 were produced within minutes of C. albicans addition before cyclooxygenase 2 expression. The production of TNFa was lower in C. albicans-stimulated cPLA2a+/+ than cPLA2a-/- macrophages due to an autocrine effect of prostaglandins that increased cAMP to a greater extent in cPLA2a+/+ than cPLA2a-/- macrophages. For global insight, differential gene expression in C. albicans-stimulated cPLA2a+/+ and cPLA2a-/- macrophages (3 h) was compared by microarray. cPLA2M-NM-1+/+ macrophages expressed 86 genes at lower levels and 181 genes at higher levels than cPLA2M-NM-1-/- macrophages (M-bM-^IM-%2-fold, p<0.05 ). Several pro-inflammatory genes were expressed at lower levels (Tnfa, Cx3cl1, Cd40, Ifng, several IFNg-inducible GTPases, Ccl5, Csf1, Edn1, CxCr7, Irf1, Irf4, Akna). Genes that dampen inflammation (Socs3, Il10, Crem, Stat3, Thbd, Thbs1, Abca1) and genes involved in host defense (Gja1, Csf3, Trem1, Hdc) were expressed at higher levels in cPLA2a+/+ macrophages. Representative genes expressed lower in cPLA2a+/+ macrophages (Tnfa and Csf1) were increased by treatment with a prostacyclin receptor antagonist and protein kinase A inhibitor, whereas genes expressed at higher levels (Crem, Nr4a2, Il10, Csf3) were suppressed. The results suggest that C. albicans stimulates an autocrine loop in macrophages involving cPLA2a, cyclooxygenase 1-derived prostaglandins and increased cAMP that globally effects expression of genes involved in host defense and inflammation. Resident peritoneal macrophages from Group IVA cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2a) +/+ and -/- mice were stimulated with Candida albicans (m.o.i. 2) for 3 hours and RNA isolated to evaluate the role of cPLA2a-derived lipid mediators on gene expression. Three independent experiments were analyzed.

Project description:This was an accompanying experiment. Previously, the expression of genes hsp70A and hsp70B had been established as being tetrapyrrole-dependent (Kropat et al., 1997, 2000). Since both are well-known heat-shock proteins, we performed a one-step heat shock treatment by shifting the temperatures from 23M-BM-0C to 42M-BM-0C for 45 min. Moreover, this experiment served as an additional global control to further test the reliability of the microarray and our general conditions since the heat shock response in general is quite well investigated. 3988 responding genes were identified. Among them are 22 genes known to be regulated by HS, selected examples are: the heat shock proteins 22A, 22B and 22C, here leading the list of top-regulated genes on place 1 with a FC of 91297 (22A), place 3 with a FC of 45023 (22B) and place 5 with a FC of 6570 (22C). Other examples are several DnaJ-like proteins or the ClpB chaperone, from the Hsp100 family. In total the analysis comprises 8 samples. For heat shock, a 20 ml culture with ~4 M-CM-^W 106 cells per ml in a 100 ml Erlenmeyer flask was incubated at 42M-BM-0C for 45 min in the light with shaking. Control cultures were incubated in the light at 23M-BM-0C (von Gromoff et al., 1989; Kropat et al., 2000). For harvest, cultures were chilled immediately by pouring them onto crushed ice, centrifuged (5 min, 3000 g, 4M-BM-0C) and resuspended in 1 ml TAP. This procedure was repeated three times, resulting in 3 biological replicates.

Project description:Exercise leads to a rapid change in the profile of gene expression in monocytes. We hypothesized that microRNA expression in circulating monocytes would also be affected by brief exercise. Twelve healthy men (22-30yr old) performed 10 2-min bouts of cycle ergometer exercise interspersed with 1-min rest at a constant work equivalent to about82% of VO2max. A baseline blood sample was taken before the and immediately after the exercise. Monocytes were isolated from PBMC using a negative magnetic cell separation methods (Miltenyi Biotec Monocyte Isolation Kit II, human #130-091-153 and the autoMACSM-BM-. Pro Separator). Total RNA was extracted using TRIzolM-BM-.. For this study we used Agilent Human miRNA microarrays V2 (total of 24 arrays).
