Transcription profiling of mouse T3-L1 preadipocytes treated with the steroid hormone dexamethasone in biological and technical replicates to illustrate validation methods

ABSTRACT: DNA microarrays are popular tools for measuring gene expression of biological samples. This ever increasing popularity is ensuring that a large number of microarray studies are conducted, many of which with data publicly available for mining by other investigators. Under most circumstances, validation of differential expression of genes is performed on a gene to gene basis. Thus, it is not possible to generalize validation results to the remaining majority of non-validated genes or to evaluate the overall quality of these studies.
We have devised an approach for the global validation of DNA microarray experiments that will allow researchers to evaluate the general quality of their experiment and to extrapolate validation results of a subset of genes to the remaining non-validated genes. We applied this method to a microarray experiment validated with quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction. The experiment consists of three biological replicate treatments of mouse 3T3-L1 preadipocytes with the steroid hormone dexamethasone for 3 hours. Total RNA was extracted from each of our three treatment and three control samples, and we labeled and hybridized five aliquots of each sample to Affymetrix MGU74Av2 microarrays, for a total of 30 microarrays.
We illustrate why the popular strategy of selecting only the most differentially expressed genes for validation generally fails as a global validation strategy and propose random-stratified sampling as a better gene selection method. We also illustrate shortcomings of often-used validation indices such as overlap of significant effects and the correlation coefficient and recommend the concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) as an alternative.

Project description:The investigation contains two sets of experiment. Set I. Transcriptional profiling of salt treated WT A. thaliana (WS ecotype) (100mM NaCl WT/0mM NaCl WT): Set II. Transcriptional profiling of salt treated ABR17- A. thaliana lines (100mM NaCl ABR17/0mM NaCl ABR17). Tissue for microarray analysis was obtained by placing surface sterilized seeds of A. thaliana (line 6.9) and the WT on half strength Murashige & Skoog (MS)(Murashige and Skoog, 1962) medium (1.5% sucrose, 0.8% agar with pH 5.7) medium in Petri dishes with or without 100mM NaCl at RT (21 ± 2 °C) after surface sterilization. The seeds were surface sterilized by rinsing with 70% ethanol for one minute, incubation in 20% bleach for 15 min and subsequent washes (four times for 5min each) to remove the bleach. MS plates with the seeds were placed at RT (21 ± 2 °C) under continuous fluorescent light 30 ?mol m-2 s-1 for 14 days. Seedlings (14 day-old) from three independently grown biological replicates in two set of experiments were removed from the MS plates, flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at 80 °C until used for RNA extraction. Technical protocols for preparing the hybridization extract: 1. RNA was isolated using the QIAGEN RNeasy Plant Mini Kit (Qiagen Inc., Mississauga, ON, Canada) from two-week-old WT (grown on 0 and 100mMNaCl) and ABR17 (grown on 0 and 100mMNaCl) seedling tissue grown at three independent times (biological replicates). The integrity of all RNA samples assessed by agarose gel (1.2 percent) electrophoresis. 2. 6 ?g (Six micrograms) of total RNA was used to synthesize cDNAs using SuperScript® II RT (Invitrogen Inc., Burlington, ON, Canada) with RT polyA-capture primers in 3D Array 900TM (Genisphere Inc., Hatfield, PA, USA). Each pair of treated (100mM NaCl) and untreated (0mM NaCl) samples within each of the three biological replicates from two sets of experiments (100mM NaCl WT/0mM NaCl WT ; 100mM NaCl ABR17/0mM NaCl ABR17) was labelled in a reciprocal dye-swap design, for a total of 12 hybridizations. Note: In the transgenic plant production, the pea cDNA encoding for ABR17 was constitutively expressed under the control of Cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter.

Project description:Protein phosphorylation regulated by plant hormone is involved in the coordination of fundamental plant development. Brassinosteroids (BRs), a group of phytohormones, regulated phosphorylation dynamics remains to be delineated in plants. In this study, we performed a mass spectrometry (MS)-based phosphoproteomics to conduct a global and dynamic phosphoproteome profiling across five time points of BR treatment in the period between 5 minutes and 12 hours. MS coupling with phosphopeptide enrichment techniques has become the powerful tool for profiling protein phosphorylation. However, MS-based methods tend to have data consistency and coverage issues. To address these issues, bioinformatics approaches were used to complement the non-detected proteins and recover the dynamics of phosphorylation events. A total of 1,104 unique phosphorylated peptides from 739 unique phosphoproteins were identified. The time-dependent gene ontology (GO) analysis shows the transition of biological processes from signaling transduction to morphogenesis and stress response. The protein-protein interaction analysis found most of identified phosphoproteins have strongly connections with known BR signaling components. The analysis by using Motif-X was performed to identify 15 enriched motifs, 11 of which correspond to 6 known kinase families. To uncover the dynamic activities of kinases, the enriched motifs were combined with phosphorylation profiles and revealed that the substrates of casein kinase 2 and mitogen-activated protein kinase were significantly phosphorylated and dephosphorylated at initial time of BR treatment, respectively. The time-dependent kinase-substrate interaction networks were constructed and showed many substrates are the downstream of other signalings, such as auxin and ABA signalings. Comparing BR responsive phosphoproteome and gene expression data, we found most of phosphorylation changes were not led by gene expression changes. Our results suggested BR signaling not only induces gene expression, but also change protein activation by phosphorylation via various kinases. Through a large-scale dynamic profile of phosphoproteome coupling bioinformatics, a complicated kinase-centered network related to BR-regulated growth was deciphered. The phosphoproteins and phosphosites identified from our study provide a useful dataset for revealing signaling networks of BR regulation, and also expanded our knowledge of protein phosphorylation modification in plants as well as further deal to solve the plant growth problems.
