A pathogenic non coding RNA that replicates and accumulates in chloroplasts traffics to this organelle through a nuclear-dependent step.

ABSTRACT: Viroids belonging to the family Avsunviroidae are the only functional RNAs known to traffic selectively into chloroplasts. Subcellular targeting is a critical step in guaranteeing their access to the machineries involved in their replication. However, the host mechanisms exploited by these non coding pathogenic RNAs to be selectively imported into chloroplasts are poorly understood. Recently, we provide evidence supporting the idea that the Avsunviroidae have evolved to subvert a signaling mechanism between the nucleus and chloroplasts to regulate their differential compartmentalization into the chloroplast of infected cells. Here, we discuss our model and previous observations that provide biological relevance to our hypothesis.

Project description:Our study introduces an application of deep learning to virtually generate fluorescence images to reduce the burdens of cost and time from considerable effort in sample preparation related to chemical fixation and staining. The objective of our work was to determine how successfully deep learning methods perform on fluorescence prediction that depends on structural and/or a functional relationship between input labels and output labels. We present a virtual-fluorescence-staining method based on deep neural networks (VirFluoNet) to transform co-registered images of cells into subcellular compartment-specific molecular fluorescence labels in the same field-of-view. An algorithm based on conditional generative adversarial networks was developed and trained on microscopy datasets from breast-cancer and bone-osteosarcoma cell lines: MDA-MB-231 and U2OS, respectively. Several established performance metrics-the mean absolute error (MAE), peak-signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), and structural-similarity-index (SSIM)-as well as a novel performance metric, the tolerance level, were measured and compared for the same algorithm and input data. For the MDA-MB-231 cells, F-actin signal performed the fluorescent antibody staining of vinculin prediction better than phase-contrast as an input. For the U2OS cells, satisfactory metrics of performance were archieved in comparison with ground truth. MAE is <0.005, 0.017, 0.012; PSNR is >40 / 34 / 33 dB; and SSIM is >0.925 / 0.926 / 0.925 for 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole/hoechst, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria prediction, respectively, from channels of nucleoli and cytoplasmic RNA, Golgi plasma membrane, and F-actin. These findings contribute to the understanding of the utility and limitations of deep learning image-regression to predict fluorescence microscopy datasets of biological cells. We infer that predicted image labels must have either a structural and/or a functional relationship to input labels. Furthermore, the approach introduced here holds promise for modeling the internal spatial relationships between organelles and biomolecules within living cells, leading to detection and quantification of alterations from a standard training dataset.
