Analysis of Differentially Expressed Genes in Tissues of Camellia sinensis during Dedifferentiation and Root Redifferentiation.

ABSTRACT: Tissue culture is very important for identifying the gene function of Camellia sinensis (L.) and exploiting novel germplasm through transgenic technology. Regeneration system of tea plant has been explored but not been well established since the molecular mechanism of tea plant regeneration is not clear yet. In this study, transcriptomic analysis was performed in the initial explants of tea plant and their dedifferentiated and redifferentiated tissues. A total of 93,607 unigenes were obtained through de novo assembly, and 7,193 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened out from the 42,417 annotated unigenes. Much more DEGs were observed during phase transition rather than at growth stages of callus. Our KOG and KEGG analysis, and qPCR results confirmed that phase transition of tea plant was closely related to the mechanism that regulate expression of genes encoding the auxin- and cytokinin-responsive proteins, transcription factor MYB15 and ethylene-responsive transcription factor ERF RAP2-12. These findings provide a reliable foundation for elucidating the mechanism of the phase transition and may help to optimize the regeneration system by regulating the gene expression pattern.

Project description:Multiple symmetric lipomatosis (MSL) is a rare disorder characterized by aberrant multiple and symmetric subcutaneous adipose tissue accumulation in the face, neck, shoulders, back, chest and abdomen, severely affecting the quality of life of patients. At present, precise MSL etiology and pathogenesis remain to be elucidated. The present study first utilized a digital gene expression technique with a next‑generation sequencing platform to profile differentially expressed genes in three cases of MSL vs. normal control tissue. cDNA libraries from these tissue specimens were constructed and DNA sequenced for identification of differentially expressed genes, which underwent bioinformatic analysis using the Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and protein‑protein interaction (PPI) network analyses. As a result, a total of 859 differentially expressed genes were identified, including 308 upregulated genes (C19orf80, Apelin, C21orf33, FAM166B and HSD11B2 were mostly upregulated 6.984‑, 4.670‑, 4.412‑, 3.693‑ and 3.561‑fold, respectively) and 551 downregulated genes [FosB proto‑oncogene, AP‑1 transcription factor subunit (FOSB), selectin (SEL) E, RAR related orphan receptor (ROR) B, salt inducible kinase (SIK)1 and epidermal growth factor‑like protein (EGFL)6 were mostly downregulated ‑9.845, ‑8.243, ‑8.123, ‑7.702 and ‑7.664 fold, respectively). The GO functional enrichment analysis demonstrated these differentially expressed genes were predominantly involved in biological processes and cellular components, while the KEGG pathway enrichment analysis demonstrated that ribosome, non‑alcoholic fatty liver disease, human T‑lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV‑I) infection and Alzheimer's disease pathways were altered in MSL. The PPI network data demonstrated ubiquitin C (UBC), translocator protein (TSPO), Jun Proto‑Oncogene, AP‑1 Transcription Factor (JUN) and FOS were among these differentially expressed genes that participated in regulation of adipocyte differentiation, although no previous study has linked them to MSL. In conclusion, the present study profiled differentially expressed genes in MSL and identified gene pathways that may be associated with MSL development and progression.

Project description:BackgroundThe two original plants of the oolong tea cultivar ('Tieguanyin') are "Wei shuo" 'Tieguanyin'-TGY (Wei) and "Wang shuo" 'Tieguanyin'-TGY (Wang). Another cultivar, 'Benshan' (BS), is similar to TGY in its aroma, taste, and genetic make-up, but it lacks the "Yin Rhyme" flavor. We aimed to identify differences in biochemical characteristics and gene expression among these tea plants.ResultsThe results of spectrophotometric, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses revealed that TGY (Wei) and TGY (Wang) had deeper purple-colored leaves and higher contents of anthocyanin, catechins, caffeine, and limonene compared with BS. Analyses of transcriptome data revealed 12,420 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) among the cultivars. According to a Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis, the flavonoid, caffeine, and limonene metabolic pathways were highly enriched. The transcript levels of the genes involved in these three metabolic pathways were not significantly different between TGY (Wei) and TGY (Wang), except for two unigenes encoding IMPDH and SAMS, which are involved in caffeine metabolism. The comparison of TGY vs. BS revealed eight up-regulated genes (PAL, C4H, CHS, F3'H, F3H, DFR, ANS, and ANR) and two down-regulated genes (FLS and CCR) in flavonoid metabolism, four up-regulated genes (AMPD, IMPDH, SAMS, and 5'-Nase) and one down-regulated XDH gene in caffeine metabolism; and two down-regulated genes (ALDH and HIBADH) in limonene degradation. In addition, the expression levels of the transcription factor (TF) PAP1 were significantly higher in TGY than in BS. Therefore, high accumulation of flavonoids, caffeine, and limonene metabolites and the expression patterns of their related genes in TGY might be beneficial for the formation of the "Yin Rhyme" flavor.ConclusionsTranscriptomic, HPLC, and GC-MS analyses of TGY (Wei), TGY (Wang), and BS indicated that the expression levels of genes related to secondary metabolism and high contents of catechins, anthocyanin, caffeine, and limonene may contribute to the formation of the "Yin Rhyme" flavor in TGY. These findings provide new insights into the relationship between the accumulation of secondary metabolites and sensory quality, and the molecular mechanisms underlying the formation of the unique flavor "Yin Rhyme" in TGY.

Project description:BackgroundHeart anomalies are the most frequently observed among all human congenital defects. As with the situation for neural tube defects (NTDs), it has been demonstrated that women who use multivitamins containing folic acid peri-conceptionally have a reduced risk for delivering offspring with conotruncal heart defects 123. Cellular folate transport is mediated by a receptor or binding protein and by an anionic transporter protein system. Defective function of the Folr1 (also known as Folbp1; homologue of human FRalpha) gene in mice results in inadequate transport, accumulation, or metabolism of folate during cardiovascular morphogenesis.ResultsWe have observed cardiovascular abnormalities including outflow tract and aortic arch arterial defects in genetically compromised Folr1 knockout mice. In order to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the failure to complete development of outflow tract and aortic arch arteries in the Folr1 knockout mouse model, we examined tissue-specific gene expression difference between Folr1 nullizygous embryos and morphologically normal heterozygous embryos during early cardiac development (14-somite stage), heart tube looping (28-somite stage), and outflow track septation (38-somite stage). Microarray analysis was performed as a primary screening, followed by investigation using quantitative real-time PCR assays. Gene ontology analysis highlighted the following ontology groups: cell migration, cell motility and localization of cells, structural constituent of cytoskeleton, cell-cell adhesion, oxidoreductase, protein folding and mRNA processing. This study provided preliminary data and suggested potential candidate genes for further description and investigation.ConclusionThe results suggested that Folr1 gene ablation and abnormal folate homeostasis altered gene expression in developing heart and conotruncal tissues. These changes affected normal cytoskeleton structures, cell migration and motility as well as cellular redox status, which may contribute to cardiovascular abnormalities in mouse embryos lacking Folr1 gene activity.
