Transcriptional profiling reveals signatures of latent developmental potential in Arabidopsis stomatal lineage ground cells.

ABSTRACT: In many developmental contexts, cell lineages have variable or flexible potency to self-renew. What drives a cell to exit from a proliferative state and begin differentiation, or to retain the capacity to divide days or years later is not clear. Here we exploit the mixed potential of the stomatal lineage ground cell (SLGC) in the Arabidopsis leaf epidermis as a model to explore how cells might balance potential to differentiate with a reentry into proliferation. By generating transcriptomes of fluorescence-activated cell sorting-isolated populations that combinatorically define SLGCs and integrating these data with other stomatal lineage datasets, we find that SLGCs appear poised between proliferation and endoreduplication. Furthermore, we found the RNA polymerase II-related mediator complex interactor DEK and the transcription factor MYB16 accumulate differentially in the stomatal lineage and influence the extent of cell proliferation during leaf development. These findings suggest that SLGC latent potential is maintained by poising of the cell cycle machinery, as well as general and site-specific gene-expression regulators.

A transcriptional map following the developmental trajectory of the Arabidopsis stomatal lineage

Project description:Developmental transitions can be described in terms of morphology and individual genes expression patterns, but also in terms of global transcriptional and epigenetic changes. Most of the large-scale studies of such transitions, however, have only been possible in synchronized cell culture systems. Here we generate a cell type specific transcriptome of an adult stem-cell lineage in the Arabidopsis leaf using RNA sequencing and microarrays. RNA profiles of stomatal entry, commitment, and differentiating cells, as well as of mature stomata and the entire aerial epidermis give a comprehensive view of the developmental progression. To obtain pure cell populations corresponding to different stomatal lineage cell types we used Fluorescent Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) in combination with markers of early (SPCHp::SPCH-YFP, SSY), middle (MUTEp::nucGFP, MG), and late (FAMAp::GFP-FAMA, FGF) precursor stages, as well of mature stomata (enhancer trap E1728::GFP, E1728G) and a marker of the entire epidermis (ML1p::YFP-RCI2A, ML1Y). To minimize transcriptional differences due to age, all cell types were sorted from 14-day old aerial rosettes, and the specificity of expression pattern at this common time point confirmed via confocal microscopy. Total RNA was extracted from purified protoplasts (2,000 to 20,000 cells/replicate; 3 replicates/marker line) and transcript abundance measured using ATH1-121501 microarrays.

To minimize transcriptional differences due to age, all cell types were sorted from 10-day old aerial rosettes, and the specificity of expression pattern at this common time point confirmed via confocal microscopy. Total RNA was extracted from purified protoplasts (4,000 to 20,000 cells/replicate; 2 replicates/marker line; 3 replicates/SSY marker line) and transcript abundance measured using RNA sequencing.

Transcriptome analysis of stomatal lineage ground cells (SLGCs)

Project description:Purpose: Identify SLGC cell fate by transcriptomes Methods: Cells expressing SLGC markers (BASLp:BRX-YFP, BASLp:myrBRX-YFP and myrBRXp:myrBRX-YFP) and stomatal commitment stage marker (MUTEp:MUTE-YFP) were collected by FACS. 9dpg plants were used for protoplasting and subjected to cell sorting. Around 20,000/sample were cellected and used for library preparation. Results: SLGCs are renriched in mitotic genes. In addition, top candidates, DEK and MYB16 proteins function in SLGC cell divisions. Conclusions: SLGCs are division competent cells and the coordination of cell cycle and transcriptional regulation though DEK is important for maintaining the transition (SLGC) state during stomatal development.

Genome-wide transcriptional profiling identifies potential signatures in discriminating active tuberculosis from latent infection.

Project description:To better understand the host immune response involved in the progression from latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) to active tuberculosis (TB) and identify the potential signatures for discriminating TB from LTBI, we performed a genome-wide transcriptional profile of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.TB)-specific antigens-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with TB, LTBI individuals and healthy controls (HCs). A total of 209 and 234 differentially expressed genes were detected in TB vs. LTBI and TB vs. HCs, respectively. Nineteen differentially expressed genes with top fold change between TB and the other 2 groups were validated using quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR), and showed 94.7% consistent expression pattern with microarray test. Six genes were selected for further validation in an independent sample set of 230 samples. Expression of the resistin (RETN) and kallikrein 1 (KLK1) genes showed the greatest difference between the TB and LTBI or HC groups (P < 0.0001). Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis showed that the areas under the curve (AUC) for RETN and KLK1 were 0.844 (0.783-0.904) and 0.833 (0.769-0.897), respectively, when discriminating TB from LTBI. The combination of these two genes achieved the best discriminative capacity [AUC = 0.916 (0.872-0.961)], with a sensitivity of 71.2% (58.7%-81.7%) and a specificity of 93.6% (85.7%-97.9%). Our results provide a new potentially diagnostic signature for discriminating TB and LTBI and have important implications for better understanding the pathogenesis involved in the transition from latent infection to TB activation.

Functional analysis of the Arabidopsis thaliana MUTE promoter reveals a regulatory region sufficient for stomatal-lineage expression.

Project description:Main conclusionThe MUTE promoter contains a 175-bp region rich in Dof regulatory elements (AAAG) that is necessary and sufficient for initiation of transcription in meristemoids and the stomatal lineage. The molecular mechanism underlying the decision to divide or differentiate is a central question in developmental biology. During stomatal development, expression of the master regulator MUTE triggers the differentiation of meristemoids into stomata. In this study, we carried out MUTE promoter deletion analysis to define a regulatory region that promotes the initiation of expression in meristemoids. Expression constructs with truncated promoter fragments fused to β-glucuronidase (GUS) were developed. The full-length promoter and promoter truncations of at least 500 bp from the translational start site exhibited normal spatiotemporal expression patterns. Further truncation revealed a 175-bp promoter fragment that was necessary and sufficient for stomatal-lineage expression. Known cis-elements were identified and tested for functional relevance. Comparison of orthologous MUTE promoters suggested DNA binding with one finger (Dof) regulatory elements and novel motifs may be important for regulation. Our data highlight the complexity and combinatorial control of gene regulation and provides tools to further investigate the genetic control of stomatal development.

Tissue-specific transcriptome profiling of the Arabidopsis inflorescence stem reveals local cellular signatures.

Project description:Genome-wide gene expression maps with a high spatial resolution have substantially accelerated plant molecular science. However, the number of characterized tissues and growth stages is still small due to the limited accessibility of most tissues for protoplast isolation. Here, we provide gene expression profiles of the mature inflorescence stem of Arabidopsis thaliana covering a comprehensive set of distinct tissues. By combining fluorescence-activated nucleus sorting and laser-capture microdissection with next-generation RNA sequencing, we characterized the transcriptomes of xylem vessels, fibers, the proximal and distal cambium, phloem, phloem cap, pith, starch sheath, and epidermis cells. Our analyses classified more than 15,000 genes as being differentially expressed among different stem tissues and revealed known and novel tissue-specific cellular signatures. By determining overrepresented transcription factor binding regions in the promoters of differentially expressed genes, we identified candidate tissue-specific transcriptional regulators. Our datasets predict the expression profiles of an exceptional number of genes and allow hypotheses to be generated about the spatial organization of physiological processes. Moreover, we demonstrate that information about gene expression in a broad range of mature plant tissues can be established at high spatial resolution by nuclear mRNA profiling.
