Project description:Long-term exposure of Atlantic salmon to 19M-BM-0C resulted in cardiac gene and protein expression changes indicating that the unfolded protein response, vascularization, remodeling of connective tissue and altered innate immune responses were part of the cardiac acclimation or response to elevated temperature Heart tissue from Atlantic salmon (RNA poooled from N=3 fish per 3 replicate tanks) reared under normal (14 deg C) and elevated (19 deg C) temperatures were sampled after 21 (short-term) and 56 days (long-term acclimation), and gene expression changes between the elevated and the control temperature were assessed using microarray analysis.

Project description:Heat acclimation (AC) allows its faster re-induction following its decline. Constitutively preserved euchromatin state in hsp70 promoter during acclimation decline/regain pushed forward the hypothesis that acclimation decline is a period of M-bM-^@M-^\dormant memoryM-bM-^@M-^] involving molecular program including epigenetic controlled transcriptional regulation leading to heat acclimation mediated cytoprotective memory. We used microarray to uncover hallmark pathways in the induction of heat-acclimation-mediated memory, focusing on markers of epigenetic processes. Rats subjected to heat acclimation, deacclimation, reacclimation and untreated controls were used. We showed here that (i) AC2d provides the molecular switch for acclimation (ii) AC30 heart demonstrates qualitative adaptations (iii) specific molecular program encompassing up/down regulated gene during DeAC, of which epigenetic markers such as class A histones, chromatin modifiers and microRNA suggest epigenetic transcriptional regulation linked to acclimation memory (iv) constitutive upregulation of MAPK P38 module and targets as well as jak/stat and AKT associated pathways during DeAC imply its major role in this process. Noteworthy are players such as poly-(ADP-ribose)polymerase-1 (PARP1) and linker histones (histones H1 cluster in this process).

Project description:Every cyanobacterial species contains gene encoding site-2-protease (S2P) homolog. The studied prokaryotic S2P homologs play essential roles in regulating stress response through intramembrane proteolysis of membrane-bound anti-sigma factors. Here, gene of Slr0643, one of four S2P homologs in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, was insertionally disrupted to explore its physiological role. Only a partially segregated mutant was obtained, indicating its indispensability for growth. The partially disrupted mutant could not grow at pH 6.5, while wild type acclimated to pH 6.5 quickly. The slr0643 gene expression was transiently induced after pH transfer from 7.5 to 6.5. Both evidences demonstrated the pivotal role of fully functional Slr0643 in acid acclimation. DNA microarray and quantitative RT-PCR analyses decoded genes involved in early acid acclimation and revealed differentially expressed genes due to slr0643 disruption at both pH conditions. Early acid acclimation to pH 6.5 included upregulation of sigH, hik16 and hik35, and downregulation of pcrR and sigG; as well as downregulation of porins and upregulation of inorganic carbon and nitrogen transporters. Defective photosynthesis and excess expression of NADH dehydrogenase, together with over upregulation of carbon transporter and repression of nitrogen transporter and metabolism gene contributed to the acid lethality of mutant at pH 6.5. Most interestingly, analysis of microarray data revealed the close relationship between slr0643 disruption and expression of sigH operon. Therefore it was implied that Slr0643/Sll0857/SigH might acts through S2P/anti-Sigma factor/Sigma factor mechanism to play a role in acid acclimation. M-bM-^@M-^C Loop design was used to compare differential expression of wild type and mutant at pH 7.5 and pH 6.5 respectively, including dye-swape. Biological variation was sampled by extracting RNA from three independent experiments and pooling them together before hybridizations. Two or four replicate chips for each comparison and two replicate printings per chip represent technical repeats.

Project description:Experiment was designed to identify transcriptome changes during cold acclimation of Drosophila melanogaster male flies. Resistance to cold is often measured by recovery times from chill coma, which is induced almost immediately upon exposure to low but non-freezing temperatures (~0C), with flies becoming immobilised and losing motor activity. This paralysis is also ostensibly reversible upon return to normal temperatures, although again there can be longer term effects. Acclimation for increased cold resistance requires exposure periods ranging from hours or days to several weeks at low temperatures between 0C to 12C, and samples were taken during the cold acclimation period (1 hr, 2 hr, 3 hr, 6 hr, 12 hr, 24 hr, 36 hr and 48 hr).

Project description:BACKGROUND: Dietary ABA-supplementation modulates immune and inflammatory responses in mouse models of chronic and infectious disease. However, the underlying mechanisms by which ABA elicits its immune modulatory effects are not well understood. This project used a systems approach in combination with functional and in vivo studies to investigate the target gene pathways modulated by ABA in the context of an inflammatory LPS challenge. RESULTS: Dietary ABA-supplementation regulates the expression of gene pathways associated with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR g), cAMP signaling and lipid metabolism in PPAR g-expressing mice. However, the pattern of differentially expressed genes is significantly reduced in the spleens of tissue-specific PPAR g null mice fed ABA. These differences in gene expression coincided with enhanced PPAR g-reporter activity of macrophages treated with ABA and enhanced intracellular cAMP accumulation in ABA-treated splenocytes. Splenocytes from wild-type (WT) and Null (epithelial and immune cell-specific PPARg knock-out) mice were sampled with or without ABA supplementation and with or without LPS stimulation.

Project description:Nasonia vitripennis injects venom into its host organism Sarcophaga crassipalpis together with the eggs in order to make it suitable for the offspring to survive. The venom is known to suppress the hosts immune system, elevate the lipid levels, slow down development, et cetera.This microarray can uncover new transcriptomal effects on the host organism after natural envenomation that have not been discovered by bioassays. Since transcriptomal effects will vary during time, two different time points have been selected, 3 and 25 hours after parasitization. 16 individuals per sample, 4 replicates per group, loopdesign, 4 control individuals per time point, dye swap

Project description:In Drosophila,male courtship behaviour serves as an excellent paradigm to study how innate behaviors are controlled by the nervous system. These behaviors are in large part regulated by the gene fruitless (fru). fru encodes a set of putative transcription factors that promote male sexual behaior by controlling the development of sexually-dimorphic neuronal circuitry. Little is known about how Fru proteins function at the level of transcriptional regulation. To characterize the roles of fru sex-specific isoforms in specifying male behavior, we generated novel isoform-specific mutants, and used a genomic approach to identify direct Fru isoform targets during development. We demonstrate that all Fru isoforms directly target genes involved in the development of the nervous system, with individual isoforms exhibiting unique binding specificities. We observe that fru behavioral phenotypes are specificed by either a single, or combination, of isoforms. Finally, we illustrate the utility of these data for the identification of novel sexually dimorphic genoic enhancers, and novel downstream regulators of male-sexual behavior. 3 replicates per condition, one dye swap; per condition: one control, one experimental per replicate. No processed data for GSM1261882 and GSM1261883 are available.

Project description:Parallels between phylogeny and ontogeny have been discussed since almost two centuries and a number of theories have been proposed to explain such patterns. Especially elusive is the so-called phylotypic stage, a phase during development where species within a phylum are particularly similar to each other. While this has formerly been interpreted as a recapitulation of phylogeny, it is nowadays thought to reflect an ontogenetic progression phase, where strong constraints on developmental regulation and gene interactions exist. Several studies have shown that genes expressed during this stage evolve slower, but it has so far not been possible to derive an unequivocal molecular signature associated with this stage. We use here a combination of phylostratigraphy and stage specific gene expression data to generate a cumulative index that reflects the evolutionary age of the transcriptome at given ontogenetic stages. Using zebrafish ontogeny and adult development as a model, we find that the phylotypic stage does indeed express the oldest transcriptome set and that younger sets are expressed during early and late development, thus faithfully mirroring the hourglass model of morphological divergence. Reproductively active animals show the youngest transcriptome, with major differences between males and females. Intriguingly, aging animals express also increasingly older genes. Comparisons with similar datasets from flies and nematodes show that this pattern occurs across phyla. Our results suggest that an old transcriptome marks the phylotypic phase and that phylogenetic differences at other ontogenetic stages correlate with the expression of newly evolved genes. Zebrafish (Danio rerio) were kept in 12L flow-through tanks at 26.5 °C (around 60 animals per tank). For accurate staging, fertilized eggs were collected within 15 min intervalls and incubated in Petri dishes at 28.5°C with water changes every 2-6 hours. After hatching, larvae were transferred to 1 liter tanks and kept at 28.5 °C. We took 72 samples in at least two biological replicates (147 experiments in total) that correspond to 61 stages across zebrafish ontogeny (50 stages before the sex could be clearly recognized plus 11 adult stages of males and females each). Staging was done according to post-fertilization time. Embryos were additionally staged under the dissecting microscope to check for the consistency of post-fertilization timing and morphological development at standard temperature (28.5 °C). Only healthy animals that showed the expected morphological features for a given post-fertilization time were sampled. Each sample contained around 50 individuals until the 1 day and 3 hour embryo stage, 15 individuals until the 10 day larval stage, 10 individuals until the 18 day larval stage, 5 individuals until the 45 days juvenile stage, while in later juvenile and adult stages we sampled males and females separately and each sample contained 2 individuals. All samples were snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 °C until RNA extraction. To avoid severe biases due to the excess of unfertilized eggs we squeezed eggs from adult females before freezing them in liquid nitrogen.

Project description:Dynamic acclimation of photosynthesis plays an important role in increasing plant fitness under variable light environments. Acclimation is mediated by a glucose-6-phosphate/phosphate translocator, GPT2. This study examined whether plants lacking GPT2, which are defective in acclimation to increases in light, are more susceptible to oxidative stress. To understand this, we used the model plant of Arabidopsis thaliana (accession Wassilewskija-4 (Ws-4)) and compared this to mutants lacking GPT2. Plants were grown at low light (100 μmol m−2 s−1) for 7 weeks. For acclimation experiments, a set of plant from low light was transferred to 400 μmol m−2 s−1 for 7 days. Microarray analysis showed that gpt2 plants showed a greater induction of stress related genes relative to WT.
