Project description:Stomata are formed by a pair of specialized guard cells that control the opening and closing of the stomatal pores on the leaf surface. These pores are the main route for microbe penetration into leaves. However, plants show a remarkable ability to close the pore when sensing the presence of microbial invaders; a phenomenon recently described as stomatal immunity. This study was initiated to understand the transcriptional regulation of this early plant defense against pathogens.

Project description:Description Alternative splicing plays critical roles in differentiation, development, and cancer. Using an integrated genomic approach, we have identified PRPF6, an RNA binding component of the pre-mRNA spliceosome, as an essential driver of oncogenesis in colon cancer. Importantly, PRPF6 is both amplified and overexpressed in colon cancer, and only colon cancer cells with high PRPF6 levels are sensitive to its loss. Our data clearly point to an important role for PRPF6 in colon cancer growth and suggest that a better understanding of its role in alternative splicing in colon cancer is warranted. To determine the specific alternative splice forms that PRPF6 regulates in colon cancer, we conducted the following experiment: Using two colon cancer cell lines (KM-12 and SW620) that have high PRPF6 levels, we inhibited PRPF6 expression using 2 independent siRNAs. We also tested the effect of U2 snRNP inhibition using both a siRNA targeting SF3B1 as well as spliceostatin A (a small molecule inhibitor of SF3B1). We then conducted RNA-seq to determine the gene expression and exonic changes that occur relative to either the non-targeting control siRNA (for siSF3B1 and siPRPF6) or the vehicle control (for spliceostatin A).

Project description:Stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici; Pst) and powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici; Bgt) are important diseases of wheat (Triticum aestivum) worldwide. Similar mechanisms and gene transcripts are assumed to be involved in the host defense response because both pathogens are biotrophic fungi. The main objective of our study was to identify co-regulated mRNAs that show a change in expression pattern after inoculation with Pst or Bgt, and to identify mRNAs specific to the fungal stress response. In the present study, cDNA libraries were constructed from leaves inoculated with Pst or Bgt at 0, 1, 2 and 3 days post-inoculation (dpi) with three biological replicates, and then sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq™ 2000 platform. Note: Samples in SRA were assigned the same sample accession. This is incorrect as there are different samples, hence “Source Name” was replaced with new values.

Project description:The Interleukin-22 (IL22) pathway plays a key role in maintaining homeostasis at the mucosal surfaces and is frequently dysregulated during infectious and inflammatory diseases. Human genome-wide association studies performed at the WTSI have identified SNPs in and around the human IL-22 gene that are associated with IBD susceptibility. The IL-22 cytokine is produced by cells of the innate and adaptive immune systems within the intestinal mucosa and acts on the IL-22 receptor (IL-22RA1) that is present specifically on intestinal epithelial cells. Studies to date have shown the that IL-22 pathway is linked to proliferative and anti-apoptotic pathways, as well as anti-microbial molecule production that help control bacterial invasion and prevent tissue damage. We are characterizing a novel IL-22RA1 KO mouse and have shown that these mice are highly susceptible to enteric bacterial pathogens, such as Citrobacter rodentium and Clostridium difficile. However, the mechanism of this protective immunity is poorly understood. The aim of this project is to identify novel molecules or pathways downstream of IL-22 signaling that provide the mechanistic link between IL-22RA1 and innate immunity. To maintain mouse colonic epithelial cells in vitro, we used an organoid culture system that faithfully recapitulates the crypt architecture of the gastrointestinal epithelium. Primary colonic epithelial crypts were isolated from age-matched wildtype and IL-22ra1 knock-out mice (n = 4 per genotype), and subsequently cultured in the presence of defined growth factors and Matrigel for 5 days. The resulting mature organoids were then either treated with Control medium (Advanced DMEM/F12) or mouse recombinant IL-22 (50ng/ml) for 16 hours. Total RNA were extracted using the QIAgen RNeasy Micro Kit, including an on-column DNAse digestion step, according to manufacturer's protocol. We are submit total RNA samples of good quality (RIN > 7) and quantity.The culture and stimulation conditions have been optimised to achieve significant and specific induction of known target genes such as the antimicrobial peptides RegIIIb, RegIIIg, S100a8 and S100a9. Two technical replicates will be available for each genotype x condition. We aim to sequence 5GBp per replicate, and 5 replicates per lane on an Illumina platform. Through this dataset, we hope to discover epithelial cell-specific pathways downstream of IL-22 signaling that are ablated in the absence of its receptor.This data is part of a pre-publication release.

Project description:Phosphorus (P) is an essential macronutrient for plant growth and development, and a plant must balance P uptake, mobilisation, and partitioning to various organs to modulate P homeostasis. The underlying molecular mechanisms of wheat under phosphate (Pi) starvation conditions remain elusive despite wheat is an important cultivated food crop worldwide. We generated transcriptome profiles of wheat variety Chinese Spring (CS) in response to Pi starvation (-P) for 10 days using RNA-Seq methods.We used 73.8 million high-quality reads obtained from libraries for de novo assembly. Overall, a set containing 29,617 non-redundant wheat transcripts was constructed with 15,047 assemblies and 14,570 non-redundant, full-length cDNAs in TriFLDB. Of the transcripts, 10,656 of the 15,047 assemblies were unaligned against barley full-length cDNAs, suggesting that many of them might be distinct of barley transcripts. The distribution of average expression levels for the assembly was lower than that for cDNAs, suggesting that the assemblies contained rare transcripts limited availability using full-length cDNA library construction methods. Within the transcript set, we identified 892-2,833 up- or downregulated transcripts in root and shoot, including 18.9-40.5% assemblies, uncovered by cDNAs in TriFLDB under -P in each condition. In the results, the expression level of wheat IPS1 (induced by phosphate starvation 1) homolog, TaIPS1, was 358.6-fold higher in the root and 12.6-fold higher in the shoot, which was confirmed by qRT-PCR analysis. Comparative analysis between wheat (a rice orthologue) and rice responsive transcripts under -P conditions showed that 39 (root) and 21 (shoot) responsive transcripts were commonly upregulated, and most of them seemed to be involved in a general response to -P; IPS1-mediated signal transduction and its downstream function such as Pi remobilization, Pi uptake and change metabolism.Our transcriptome profiling demonstrates the impact of -P in wheat. This study shows that enhancing the Pi-mediated signalling pathway through IPS1 is conserved as a potent adaptation to Pi starvation in both wheat and rice, and also that our constructed strategy using short read next generation sequencing (NGS) data was successful for the transcriptome analysis in wheat without reference genome.

Project description:Plants maintain iron (Fe) homeostasis under varying environmental conditions by balancing processes such as Fe uptake, transport, and storage. In Arabidopsis, POPEYE (PYE), a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor (TF), has been shown to play a crucial role in regulating this balance. In recent years, the mechanisms regulating Fe uptake have been well established but the upstream transcriptional regulators of Fe transport and storage are still poorly understood. In this study, we report that ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL5 (HY5), a basic leucine zipper (bZIP) TF which has recently been shown to play a crucial role in Fe homeostasis, interacts with PYE. Molecular, genetic and biochemical approaches revealed that PYE and HY5 have overlapping as well as some distinct roles in regulation of Fe deficiency response. We found that HY5 and PYE both act as a repressor of Fe transport genes such as YSL3, FRD3, NPF5.9, YSL2, NAS4, and OPT3. HY5 was found to directly bind on the promoter of these genes and regulate intercellular Fe transport. Further analysis revealed that HY5 and PYE directly interact at the same region on PYE and NAS4 promoter. Overall, this study revealed that HY5 regulates Fe homeostasis by physically interacting with PYE as well as independently.

Project description:The present work describes the effects on iron homeostasis when copper transport was deregulated in Arabidopsis thaliana by overexpressing copper transporters (COPTOE). A genome-wide analysis conducted on COPT1OE plants, highlighted that iron homeostasis gene expression was affected, both under copper deficiency and excess. Among the inhibited genes were those encoding the iron uptake machinery and their transcriptional regulators. Subsequently, COPTOE seedlings contained less iron and were more sensitive than controls to iron deficiency. These results emphasized the importance of appropriate spatiotemporal copper uptake for iron homeostasis under copper deficiency. The deregulation of copper-I uptake difficulted the transcriptional activation of the subgroup Ib of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH-Ib) factors. Oppositely, copper excess inhibited the expression of the master regulator FIT but activate bHLH-Ib expression in COPTOE plants, in both cases leading to the lack of an adequate iron uptake response. As copper increased in the media, iron-III was accumulated in roots, accounting for a defective iron mobilization to the aerial parts, and this effect was exacerbated in COPTOE plants. Thus, iron-III overloading in roots inhibited local iron deficiency responses, aimed to metal uptake from soil, leading to a general lower iron content in the COPTOE seedlings. The understanding of the role of copper uptake in iron metabolism could be applied for increasing crops resistance to iron deficiency

Project description:Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is a commensal microorganism of the normal human nasopharyngeal flora, yet also an opportunistic pathogen of the upper and lower respiratory tracts. Changes in gene expression patterns in response to host microenvironments are likely critical for persistence. One such system of gene regulation is the ability to carefully regulate iron uptake. A central regulatory system that controls iron uptake, mediated by the ferric uptake regulator Fur, is present in multiple bacteria, including NTHi. To understand the regulation of iron homeostasis in NTHi, fur was deleted in the prototypic NTHi clinical isolate, 86-028NP. Using an NTHi-specific microarray, we identified genes whose expression was repressed or activated by Fur. These data comprise transcriptional anaylses of a pediatric isolate of NTHi (86-028NP) an rpsL mutant of 86-028NP, a fur mutant of 86-028NP and a fur mutant of 86-028NPrpsL. NTHi parent and fur mutant strains were grown in defined medium containing 10 M-BM-5g /ml human hemoglobin to mid-log phase. Cells were then harvested and RNA extracted. A total of four biological replicates were generated for these analyses.

Project description:The goal of this project is to understand the etiology and pathology of host-pathogen interaction using high-throughput cellular phenotyping. By combining the expertise in pathogen biology, informatics and stem cell biology across the institute, this project will use targeted genetic modification in mouse embryonic stem cells to identify functions of host genes in innate immunity. We will also explore the biology of mouse embryonic stem cells and their differentiation into immune competent cells. To this end we will generate homozygous and inducible knockout lines in mouse embryonic stem cells, which will be differentiated into immune competent cells, such as macrophages or dendritic cells. These will be subjected to a panel of immune challenge and stimulation assays to characterise the functions of the disrupted genes. To identify new functions for mammalian genes in innate immunity we will:\Generate a panel of homozygous inducible gene knockout mouse ES cell lines working from a list of ca. 80 candidate genes (MGP phenotyping and GWAS hits). \Scale up differentiation protocols for immune challenge and stimulation assays.\Benchmark in vitro differentiated ES cell models against primary immune cells from selected MGP mouse lines and eventually against human iPS cells.\Screen a panel of 30 genetically modified cell lines in immunological challenge and stimulation assays, defining phenotypes at the cellular level by high content imaging, biochemically by assaying cytokine production, and at the molecular level by transcriptome analysis.\Define novel gene functions in innate immunity through network analysis of gene expression data from all challenged cell lines.\In the longer term scale up the production and phenotyping of genetically modified cell lines (mouse or human as appropriate).This data is part of a pre-publication release.
