Identification, utilisation and mapping of novel transcriptome-based markers from blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum).

ABSTRACT: Deep-level second generation sequencing (2GS) technologies are now being applied to non-model species as a viable and favourable alternative to Sanger sequencing. Large-scale SNP discovery was undertaken in blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum L.) using transcriptome-based 2GS 454 sequencing on the parental genotypes of a reference mapping population, to generate large numbers of novel markers for the construction of a high-density linkage map.Over 700,000 reads were produced, from which a total of 7,000 SNPs were found. A subset of polymorphic SNPs was selected to develop a 384-SNP OPA assay using the Illumina BeadXpress platform. Additionally, the data enabled identification of 3,000 novel EST-SSRs. The selected SNPs and SSRs were validated across diverse Ribes germplasm, including mapping populations and other selected Ribes species.SNP-based maps were developed from two blackcurrant mapping populations, incorporating 48% and 27% of assayed SNPs respectively. A relatively high proportion of visually monomorphic SNPs were investigated further by quantitative trait mapping of theta score outputs from BeadStudio analysis, and this enabled additional SNPs to be placed on the two maps.The use of 2GS technology for the development of markers is superior to previously described methods, in both numbers of markers and biological informativeness of those markers. Whilst the numbers of reads and assembled contigs were comparable to similar sized studies of other non-model species, here a high proportion of novel genes were discovered across a wide range of putative function and localisation. The potential utility of markers developed using the 2GS approach in downstream breeding applications is discussed.

Project description:Black pepper (Piper nigrum L.), a tropical spice crop of global acclaim, is susceptible to Phytophthora capsici, an oomycete pathogen which causes the highly destructive foot rot disease. A systematic understanding of this phytopathosystem has not been possible owing to lack of genome or proteome information. In this study, we explain an integrated transcriptome-assisted label-free quantitative proteomics pipeline to study the basal immune components of black pepper when challenged with P. capsici. We report a global identification of 532 novel leaf proteins from black pepper, of which 518 proteins were functionally annotated using BLAST2GO tool. A label-free quantitation of the protein datasets revealed 194 proteins common to diseased and control protein datasets of which 22 proteins showed significant up-regulation and 134 showed significant down-regulation. Ninety-three proteins were identified exclusively on P. capsici infected leaf tissues and 245 were expressed only in mock (control) infected samples. In-depth analysis of our data gives novel insights into the regulatory pathways of black pepper which are compromised during the infection. Differential down-regulation was observed in a number of critical pathways like carbon fixation in photosynthetic organism, cyano-amino acid metabolism, fructose, and mannose metabolism, glutathione metabolism, and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis. The proteomics results were validated with real-time qRT-PCR analysis. We were also able to identify the complete coding sequences for all the proteins of which few selected genes were cloned and sequence characterized for further confirmation. Our study is the first report of a quantitative proteomics dataset in black pepper which provides convincing evidence on the effectiveness of a transcriptome-based label-free proteomics approach for elucidating the host response to biotic stress in a non-model spice crop like P. nigrum, for which genome information is unavailable. Our dataset will serve as a useful resource for future studies in this plant. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD003887.

Project description:(This section will be revisited in good time prior to publication, for final approval) Research within the field of functional genomics provides a more profound understanding of living organisms, by elucidating the interaction between genes and gene products. This is of increasing importance in many fields, and especially within cancer research. With the use of microarray technology, the gene expression of a vast number of genes can be measured simultaneously. This allows us insight into tumor biology, and an opportunity to obtain knowledge of diagnostic and prognostic value, as well as hints towards the causes of cancer. In this study the gene expression in a selection of human neuroendocrine (NE) and non-neuroendocrine tumor cell lines were compared. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were applied to get an insight into the NE tumor biology. NE cells are found in practically every organ and tissue in the body and are assigned to synthesize peptide hormones and take up amino acids and transform these into biogenic amines by carboxylation. NE tumors arise after malignant transformation of neuroendocrine cells and are usually highly differentiated and have a low growth rate, which makes this a high prevalence tumor type. These rather rare tumors characteristically express NE markers, such as chromogranin A, and contains characteristic dense-secretory core granules. By using cDNA microarray analysis, the gene expression profiles of various NE tumor cell lines (e. g. carcinoid, neuroblastoma, medullary thyroid carcinoma and endocrine pancreatic tumor) were compared with those of non-NE tumor cells. As a reference the commercially available Universal human RNA reference (Stratagene) was used. Verification of the results were done by real time RT-PCR analysis after the NE nature of the cell lines was stated by immunohistochemical, electron microscopic and light microscopic examinations. A large number of genes were differentially expressed in NE cell lines vs. the non-NE cell lines, and were found to be of interest in NE tumor biology. Some of these genes were previously known in NE tumor biology, whereas the vast majority of the specified genes are novel in the context of NE tumor biology. Genes with little previous information were also identified and thought to be an asset in the search of new NE markers. A feasible prospective of the study would be expansion with additional samples cell lines and a more thorough verification with real time RT-PCR analysis. This would enhance the credibility and thus the utility of the findings. Future studies on the biological functions of the candidate genes and the mechanisms of their regulation, will hopefully enable suggestions of new NE markers of prognostic or diagnostic value, and eventually new drug targets.

Project description:Lupus nephritis (LN) is a well-known complication of systemic lupus erythematosus and is its leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Our study aimed to identify the molecular markers associated with the pathophysiology and treatment of LN. The renal tissue gene expression profiles of LN patients in the GSE32591 dataset were downloaded as a discovery cohort from the Gene Expression Omnibus. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified; weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to identify the co-expression modules of DEGs; and gene function enrichment analysis, molecular crosstalk analysis, and immune cell infiltration analysis were performed to explore the pathophysiological changes in glomeruli and tubulointerstitia of LN patients. The crosstalk genes were validated in another RNA-sequencing cohort. DEGs common in RNA-sequencing dataset and GSE32591 were uploaded to the Connectivity Map (CMap) database to find prospective LN-related drugs. Molecular docking was used to verify the targeting association between candidate small molecular compounds and the potential target. In all, 420 DEGs were identified; five modules and two modules associated with LN were extracted in glomeruli and tubulointerstitia, respectively. Functional enrichment analysis showed that type I interferon (IFN) response was highly active, and some biological processes such as metabolism, detoxification, and ion transport were impaired in LN. Gene transcription in glomeruli and tubulointerstitia might affect each other, and some crosstalk genes, such as IRF7, HLA-DRA, ISG15, PSMB8, and IFITM3, play important roles in this process. Immune cell infiltration analysis revealed that monocytes and macrophages were increased in glomeruli and tubulointerstitia, respectively. CMap analysis identified proscillaridin as a possible drug to treat LN. Molecular docking showed proscillaridin forms four hydrogen bonds with the SH2 domain of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1). The findings of our study may shed light on the pathophysiology of LN and provide potential therapeutic targets for LN.
