<h4>Background</h4>Glioblastoma multiforme, the most common type of primary brain tumor in adults, is driven by cells with neural stem (NS) cell characteristics. Using derivation methods developed for NS cells, it is possible to expand tumorigenic stem cells continuously in vitro. Although these glioblastoma-derived neural stem (GNS) cells are highly similar to normal NS cells, they harbor mutations typical of gliomas and initiate authentic tumors following orthotopic xenotransplantation.

Project description:Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is a major grass species used for forage and turf throughout the world, and gains by conventional breeding have reached a plateau. Perennial ryegrass is an outcrossing, self-incompatible diploid (2n = 2x = 14) with a relatively large genome (4067 Mbp/diploid genome; Evans, G.M., Rees, H., Snell, C.L. and Sun, S. (1972). The relation between nuclear DNA amount and the duration of the mitotic cycle. Chrom. Today, 3, 24–31). Using tissues sourced from active pastures during the peak of the autumn, winter, spring and summer seasons, we analysed the ryegrass transcriptome employing a Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE™) protocol, with the dual goals of understanding the seasonal changes in perennial ryegrass gene expression and enhancing our ability to select genes for genetic manipulation. A total of 159 002 14-mer SAGE™ tags was sequenced and mapped to the perennial ryegrass DNA database, comprising methyl-filtered (GeneThresher®) and expressed sequence tag (EST) sequences. The analysis of 14 559 unique SAGE™ tags, which were present more than once in our SAGE™ library, revealed 964, 1331, 346 and 131 exclusive transcripts to autumn, winter, spring and summer, respectively. Intriguingly, our analysis of the SAGE™ tags revealed season-specific expression profiles for the small subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (Rubisco), LprbcS. The transcript level for LprbcS was highest in spring, and then decreased gradually between summer and winter. Five different copies of LprbcS were revealed in ryegrass, with one possibly producing splice variant transcripts. Two highly expressed LprbcS genes were reported, one of which was not active in autumn. Another LprbcS gene showed an inverse expression profile to the autumn inactive LprbcS in a manner to compensate the expression level.

Bronsyn was used throughout this study. Field-grown samples, comprising mainly viable leaves and pseudostems, were collected at midday from livestock-active monocultural paddocks at Dexcel, Hamilton, New Zealand during the peak of each season, and frozen immediately in liquid nitrogen. Samples were transported in dry-ice and stored at ?80 oC until use. During spring and summer, care was taken not to include any floral stems in the tissue sample. Grass samples were collected from pregrazed (15–60 days post-grazing) and post-grazed (1 day post-grazing) ryegrass swards, which were visibly healthy and free of any pests. Construction of SAGE™ libraries RNA was extracted using TRIZOL® reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad,CA, USA). For each SAGE™ library, 100 ug of pre- and post-grazed sample-derived total RNA was employed, and the libraries were created using an I-SAGE™ or I-SAGE™Long Kit (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Pre- and post-grazed SAGE™ libraries were sequenced at the Australian Genome Research Facility (Brisbane, Australia), and the tags were extracted using SAGE2000 software and combined to produce the transcript profile for the season.

Project description:Phosphorus (P) is a critical driver of phytoplankton growth and ecosystem structure and function in the ocean. Diatoms are an abundant and widespread functional group of phytoplankton that are responsible for significant amounts of primary production in the ocean, however there has not been a comprehensive study of diatom physiological responses to P deficiency. Here, we coupled deep sequencing of transcript tags and quantitative proteomic analysis from the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana grown under P-replete and P-deficient conditions. The reads (tags) were mapped to the T. pseudonana genome sequence, confirming expression of 91% of the modeled gene set. A total of 318 genes were differentially regulated with a false discovery rate of p<0.05. A total of 1264 proteins were detected, and of those 136 were differentially expressed with a false discovery rate of p<0.05. Significant changes in the abundance of transcripts and proteins were observed and these changes were coordinated for glycolysis, translation, and multiple biochemical responses to P deficiency. These data demonstrate that diatom P deficiency results in changes in cellular P allocation through polyphosphate production, increased P transport, a switch to utilization of dissolved organic P (DOP) through increased production of alkaline phosphatase metalloenzymes and a diesterase, and a remodeling of the cell surface through production of sulfolipids. Together, these findings reveal that T. pseudonana has evolved a sophisticated response to P deficiency involving multiple biochemical strategies that are likely critical to its ability to rapidly respond to variations in environmental P availability. T. pseudonana (Strain 1335 from the Provosoli-Guillard National Center for the Culture of Marine Phytoplankton (CCMP)) was grown in a modified f/2 medium made from Sargasso Sea water. Macronutrients and vitamin B12, biotin, and thiamine solutions were treated with prepared Chelex-100 resin to remove trace metal contaminants followed by trace-metal clean syringe sterilization to yield final nutrient concentrations of 882 μM NaNO3 and 106 μM Na2SiO3, and vitamin concentrations of 75 pM, 400 pM, and 60 nM, respectively. The Fe concentration was also modified from f/2 to 400 nM. All conditions were run in triplicate at 14 ºC, in constant light (120 µmol photons m-2 s-1). Cells were grown with f/2 phosphorus concentrations (P-replete; 36 µM PO4) and with low phosphorus concentrations (P-deficient; 0.4 µM PO4). Growth was monitored daily with cell counts. Duplicate P-replete treatments were pooled and harvested in mid log phase, and triplicate P-deficient treatments were pooled, and also quickly harvested onto 2 µm filters at the onset of P depletion. All RNA samples were snap frozen in liquid nitrogen. Replicate P-deficient cultures were refed to 36 µM phosphate at the onset of P depletion, and subsequently resumed growth. Additional growth studies were performed as described above substituting glycerolphosphate and adenosine monophosphate at 36 µM, for the phosphate in the medium.

Project description:The late blight pathogen, Phytophthora infestans has a broad host range within the Solanaceae family, including yellow potato (Solanum phureja). The disease caused by P. infestans in S. phureja is poorly understood and is a major concern in Colombia. Expressed Sequence Tag (EST) libraries obtained from a normalized library constructed from healthy plant tissue revealed high levels of sequence similarity between S. phureja and S. tuberosum. Then, utilizing Serial Analysis of Gene Expression and high-throughput sequencing (SAGE-Solexa), we characterized yellow potato gene expression during infection by P. infestans. Four-week-old yellow potato plants were inoculated with P. infestans and were collected at 12 and 72 hours post inoculation for RNA extraction. We detected differentially expressed genes by comparing inoculated to non-inoculated and resistant to susceptible plants. The discovery and characterization of the proteins mediating this host–pathogen interaction enable the understanding of the pathosystem and is the key for developing resistant plants. Keywords: SAGE-Solexa, inoculation response, transcript profiling, Solanum phureja, Phytophthora infestans Four-week-old yellow potato (Solanum phureja) plants were inoculated with Phytophthora infestans and were collected and flash frozen in liquid nitrogen at 12 and 72 hours post inoculation, as well as mock inoculated, for RNA extraction. 2 yellow potato cultivars (resistant and susceptible) were used for each experiment. Mock inoculated plants were collected in each replicate. RNA obtained from each of the three biological replicates was pooled to obtain a single RNA sample for each timepoint X cultivar combination. A total of 6 different SAGE libraries were thus obtained. For all libraries, Illumina sequencing was performed at Canada´s Michael Smith Genome Sciences Centre.

Project description:A drug sensitive stock of T.b.brucei (STIB247) was used to generate a drug resistant strain (247MelCyR), expressing 130-fold increase in resistance to the melaminophenyl arsenical Cymelarsan (MelCy) by subcurative treatment in mice. Expression of the Cymelarsan resistant phenotype was maintained in 247MelCyR following adaptation to procyclic form in vitro culture. Here we have compared the transcriptomes of the STIB247 and 247MelCyR strains from procyclic cell culture, using digital gene expression (DGE) analysis. Digital gene expression analysis was performed on RNA derived from 2 biological replicates each of Cymelarsan resistant (247MelCyR) and Cymelarsan sensitive (STIB 247), T.b.brucei procyclic cell culture.

Project description:The newly discovered 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) may complicate previous observations of abnormal cytosine methylation statuses used for the identification of new tumor suppressor gene candidates relevant to human hepatocarcinogenesis. The simultaneous detection of 5mC and 5hmC will stimulate the discovery of aberrantly methylated genes with increased accuracy in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, we performed a newly developed single-base high-throughput sequencing approach (hydroxymethylation and methylation Sensitive Tag sequencing, HMST-seq) to synchronously measure these two modifications in HCC samples. After identifying the differentially methylated and hydroxymethylated genes in HCC, we integrated the DNA copy-number alterations as determined using array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) data with gene expression to identify genes potentially silenced by promoter hypermethylation. As a result, we report a high enrichment of genes with epigenetic aberrations in cancer signaling pathways. Six genes were selected as tumor suppressor gene (TSG) candidates, among which, ECM1, ATF5 and EOMES were confirmed to have potential anti-cancer function via siRNA experiments. To fully examine 5mC and 5hmC status in HCC, we used a newly developed single-base high-throughput sequencing approach (hydroxymethylation and methylation sensitive tag sequencing, HMST-seq) to synchronously measure these two modifications in HCC samples and their adjacent non-cancerous liver tissues (non-HCCs).
