Changes in Gravitaxis and Gene-Expression in an Euglena gracilis Culture over Time

ABSTRACT: Supplement S1: Figure S1. (a) Effect of culture age of Euglena gracilis on gene expression, determined with gene arrays analysis. Total number of differentially expressed genes classified into groups of fold-change-ranges in Euglena gracilis cells of different culture age (5 d, 9 d, 11 d) compared to culture age of six days. Underlying data are presented under the figure or in “FC in classes”, respectively. The total number of investigated genes on microarray was n = 20296. Data were retrieved from four independent cell cultures. (b) Effect of culture age of Euglena gracilis on gene expression. Fraction of differentially expressed genes in percent of all investigated transcripts [n = 20,396] classified into groups of fold-change-ranges in Euglena gracilis cells of different culture age (5 d, 9 d, 11 d) compared to culture age of six days. Underlying data are presented under the figure or in “FC in classes”, respectively. For more details, please see the legend Figure S1 a. (c) Effect of culture age of Euglena gracilis on gene expression. Fraction differentially expressed genes (DEGs) above (“upregulation”), below (“downregulation”) or above AND below (“all”), respectively a certain threshold (th). In contrast to (b), where the fold changes are provided in classes, all DEGs above, below, or above AND below as certain threshold are summarized. In addition, Supplement S1 contains all raw data about all DEGs detected and a rankling of the genes regarding their fold changes (FCs). Supplement S2: Determination of differential gene expression with respect to culture age in Euglena gracilis, obtained with micro-arrays. The table “Overlapping DEGs” contains all transcripts, which were found to be differentially expressed in Euglena gracilis at all three investigated days of culture age (5, 9, or 11 days, respectively), against the 6-day samples. In the table “Overlapping DEGs ranked”, the data are ranked according to their fold change. Supplement S3: Transcription of Euglena gracilis cells of different culture age (5, 9, and 11 d, respectively) was compared with the transcription of cells after 6 days of culturing. All data were obtained in quadruplicate. This supplementary data show the possible functions of the proteins encoded by the DEGs (differentially expressed genes), which were differentially expressed for the corresponding days. Table “Diff transcripts funct.” gives a general overview about gene expression changes for all days. The other tables list the possible function of the DEGs for each particular day. The lists only contain genes where a function could be assigned. Complete lists of DEGs also including transcripts with unknown function are provided in Supplement S1. Supplement S4: Determination of gene expression changes with respect to culture age in Euglena gracilis samples of cells were analyzed after 5 d, 9 d, and 11 days of growth in batch cultures, and their gene expression was compared with the gene expression of cells with a culture age of 5 d. For each day, the number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) each showing the same GO terms were summed up. In order to correlate these changes with the number of all genes with the same GO term in Euglena gracilis, data from sequencing projects were employed [1,2]. Genes with the same GO terms were counted and correlated with the number of observed DEGs in Euglena gracilis. In the first table, GO terms of DEGs were assigned to corresponding days of culturing and correlated with the data of [1, 2] (total numbers and ratios). Diagram “Ratio of DEGs compared to Cordoba et al. [%]” visualizes the ratio of DEGs with total data of [7]. The second diagram shows the number of GO terms of DEGs, which were found at day 9 AND day 11. The change between the two days is provided. Data are visualized in the diagram “Fraction of DEGs of a certain GO over time”. Ref. [2]: Additional file 2: Table S1 “proteome”. Ref. [1]: Supplementary Data, Table S2.

Project description:Songbirds provide rich natural models for studying the relationships of brain anatomy, behavioral function, environmental signals and gene expression. Under the Songbird Neurogenomics Initiative, investigators from more than a dozen laboratories collected brain samples from six species of songbird under a range of experimental conditions, and 488 of these samples were analyzed systematically for gene expression by microarray. ANOVA was used to test 32 planned contrasts in the data, revealing the relative impact of different factors. The brain region from which tissue was taken had the greatest influence on gene expression profile, affecting the majority of signals measured by the 18,848 non-redundant cDNAs spotted on the microarray. Social and environmental manipulations had highly variable impact, ranging from nil in some cases to robust in others. Several specific genes were identified as points of interest in the evolution of mechanisms by which environmental signals influence behavior. The data were also analyzed using Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) followed by Gene Ontology (GO) analysis. This revealed modules of co-regulated genes that are also enriched for specific functional annotations such as M-bM-^@M-^\ribosomeM-bM-^@M-^] (expressed more highly in juvenile brain) and M-bM-^@M-^\dopamine metabolic processM-bM-^@M-^] (expressed more highly in striatal song control nucleus Area X). These results underscore the complexity of influences on neural gene expression and provide a resource for studying how these influences are integrated during natural experience. RNA samples were collected from six different songbird species (phylogeny in SI Appendix, Figure S1) and representing 80 different M-bM-^@M-^\treatmentsM-bM-^@M-^], i.e., combinations of species, brain region, sex, age, and behavioral state. The tissue samples were organized around 15 standalone experiments (Table 1 and SI Appendix, Table S1), contributed by investigators in a dozen different laboratories but analyzed under uniform conditions in a single laboratory as originally planned under the Songbird Neurogenomics Initiative. Each sample was hybridized to a zebra finch cDNA array along with a universal reference (a pool of zebra finch telencephalic RNA). e08: Comparing Area X, HVC, POA and RA from adult male European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) that were gonadally-intact and photostimulated (7 and 21 days on long days, 16:8 light: dark), castrated and photostimulated (7 days on long days), and photorefractory (56 days on long days), with short-day control (56 days on short days, 11:13 light:dark), 6 biological replicates per group. All samples were hybridized against the SoNG universal RNA reference pool.

Project description:Study question: What is the relative effect of common environmental and biological factors on transcriptome changes during human preimplantation development? Summary answer: Developmental stage and maternal age had a larger effect on the global gene expression profile of human preimplantation embryos than the culture medium or oxygen concentration used in in vitro culture. What is known already: Studies on mouse and bovine embryos have shown that different conditions in the in vitro culture of embryos can lead to changes in transcriptome profiles. For humans, an effect of developmental stage on the transcriptome profile of embryos has been demonstrated, but studies on the effect of maternal age or culture conditions are lacking. Participants/materials, setting, methods: Embryos that developed to morula or blastocyst stage during these 2 days whose amplified mRNA passed our quality control criteria for microarray hybridization were individually examined for genome-wide gene expression (N = 37). Main results and the role of chance: Based on the number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs), developmental stage (3519 DEGs) and maternal age (1258 DEGs) had a larger effect on the global gene expression profile of human preimplantation embryos than either tested culture medium (596 DEGs) or oxygen concentration (492 DEGs) used during in vitro culture. Interactions between the factors were found, indicating that culture conditions might have a different effect depending on the developmental stage or the maternal age of the embryos. Affected pathways included metabolism, cell cycle processes and oxidative phosphorylation. Limitations, reasons for caution: Culture of embryos for only 2 days might have limited the effect on global gene expression by the investigated culture conditions. Earlier stages of development (Day 0 until Day 4) were not analyzed and these embryos might respond differently to the experimental conditions. The freezing and thawing procedures might have had an effect on gene expression. RTâPCR validation was not performed due to scarcity of the material. Wider implications of the findings: Our results show that when studying gene expression in single human preimplantation embryos under various experimental conditions, one should take into account the confounding effect of biological variables, such as developmental stage and maternal age. This makes these experiments different from gene expression experiments where these variables can be tightly controlled, for example when using cell lines. Study design, size, duration: Donated, good quality, day 4 cryopreserved human preimplantation embryos (N = 89) were randomized to be cultured in one of two culture media (G5 medium or HTF medium) and one of two oxygen concentrations (5% or 20%), with stratification for maternal age. Next to these variables, developmental stage after culture was taken into account in the analysis.
