Epiviz Web Components: reusable and extensible component library to visualize functional genomic datasets.

Project description:Interactive and integrative data visualization tools and libraries are integral to exploration and analysis of genomic data. Web based genome browsers allow integrative data exploration of a large number of data sets for a specific region in the genome. Currently available web-based genome browsers are developed for specific use cases and datasets, therefore integration and extensibility of the visualizations and the underlying libraries from these tools is a challenging task. Genomic data visualization and software libraries that enable bioinformatic researchers and developers to implement customized genomic data viewers and data analyses for their application are much needed. Using recent advances in core web platform APIs and technologies including Web Components, we developed the Epiviz Component Library, a reusable and extensible data visualization library and application framework for genomic data. Epiviz Components can be integrated with most JavaScript libraries and frameworks designed for HTML. To demonstrate the ease of integration with other frameworks, we developed an R/Bioconductor epivizrChart package, that provides interactive, shareable and reproducible visualizations of genomic data objects in R, Shiny and also create standalone HTML documents. The component library is modular by design, reusable and natively extensible and therefore simplifies the process of managing and developing bioinformatic applications.

Dimensionality reduction by UMAP to visualize physical and genetic interactions.

Project description:Dimensionality reduction is often used to visualize complex expression profiling data. Here, we use the Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) method on published transcript profiles of 1484 single gene deletions of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Proximity in low-dimensional UMAP space identifies groups of genes that correspond to protein complexes and pathways, and finds novel protein interactions, even within well-characterized complexes. This approach is more sensitive than previous methods and should be broadly useful as additional transcriptome datasets become available for other organisms.

Fluorescence Molecular Targeting of Colon Cancer to Visualize the Invisible.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common cause of cancer and cancer-related death. Surgery is the only curative modality. Fluorescence-enhanced visualization of CRC with targeted fluorescent probes that can delineate boundaries and target tumor-specific biomarkers can increase rates of curative resection. Approaches to enhancing visualization of the tumor-to-normal tissue interface are active areas of investigation. Nonspecific dyes are the most-used approach, but tumor-specific targeting agents are progressing in clinical trials. The present narrative review describes the principles of fluorescence targeting of CRC for diagnosis and fluorescence-guided surgery with molecular biomarkers for preclinical or clinical evaluation.

Preparation of cationized gelatin nanospheres incorporating molecular beacon to visualize cell apoptosis.

Project description:The objective of this study is to prepare cationized gelatin nanospheres (cGNS) incorporating a molecular beacon (MB), and visualize cellular apoptosis. Two types of MB to detect the messenger RNA (mRNA) of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) (GAP MB), and caspase-3 (casp3 MB) were incorporated in cGNS, respectively. MB incorporated in cGNS showed the DNA sequence specificity in hybridization. The cGNS incorporation enabled MB to enhance the stability against nuclease to a significantly great extent compared with free MB. The cGNS incorporating GAP MB were internalized into the KUM6 of a mouse bone marrow-derived stem cell by an endocytotic pathway. The cGNS were not distributed at the lysosomes. After the incubation with cGNS, the cell apoptosis was induced at different concentrations of camptothecin. No change in the intracellular fluorescence was observed for cGNSGAPMB. On the other hand, for the cGNScasp3MB, the fluorescent intensity significantly enhanced by the apoptosis induction of cells. It is concluded that cGNS incorporating MB is a promising system for the visualization of cellular apoptosis.

Complexation design of cationized gelatin and molecular beacon to visualize intracellular mRNA.

Project description:The objective of this study is to prepare cationized gelatin-molecular beacon (MB) complexes for the visualization of intracellular messenger RNA (mRNA). The complexes were prepared from cationized gelatins with different extents of cationization and different mixing ratios of MB to cationized gelatin. The apparent size of complexes was almost similar, while the zeta potential was different among the complexes. Irrespective of the preparation conditions, the complexes had a sequence specificity against the target oligonucleotides in hybridization. The cytotoxicity and the amount of complexes internalized into cells increased with an increase in the cationization extent and the concentration of cationized gelatin. After the incubation with complexes prepared from cationized gelatin with the highest extent of cationization and at mixing ratios of 10 and 20 pmole MB/μg cationized gelatin, a high fluorescent intensity was detected. On the other hand, the complex prepared with the mixing ratio at 20 pmole/μg did not show any cytotoxicity. The complex was the most effective to visualize the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) mRNA endogenously present. In addition, even for enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) mRNA exogenously transfected, the complex permitted to effectively detect it as well. It is concluded that both the endogenous and exogenous mRNA can be visualized in living cells by use of cationized gelatin-MB complexes designed.

Genetically encoded molecular probes to visualize and perturb signaling dynamics in living biological systems.

Project description:In this Commentary, we discuss two sets of genetically encoded molecular tools that have significantly enhanced our ability to observe and manipulate complex biochemical processes in their native context and that have been essential in deepening our molecular understanding of how intracellular signaling networks function. In particular, genetically encoded biosensors are widely used to directly visualize signaling events in living cells, and we highlight several examples of basic biosensor designs that have enabled researchers to capture the spatial and temporal dynamics of numerous signaling molecules, including second messengers and signaling enzymes, with remarkable detail. Similarly, we discuss a number of genetically encoded biochemical perturbation techniques that are being used to manipulate the activity of various signaling molecules with far greater spatial and temporal selectivity than can be achieved using standard pharmacological or genetic techniques, focusing specifically on examples of chemically driven and light-inducible perturbation strategies. We then describe recent efforts to combine these diverse and powerful molecular tools into a unified platform that can be used to elucidate the molecular details of biological processes that may potentially extend well beyond the realm of signal transduction.

Molecular characterization of banana NAC transcription factors and their interactions with ethylene signalling component EIL during fruit ripening.

Project description:The plant-specific NAC (NAM, ATAF1/2, and CUC2) transcription factors (TFs) play important roles in plant growth, development, and stress responses. However, the precise role of NAC TFs in relation to fruit ripening is poorly understood. In this study, six NAC genes, designated MaNAC1-MaNAC6, were isolated and characterized from banana fruit. Subcellular localization showed that MaNAC1-MaNAC5 proteins localized preferentially to the nucleus, while MaNAC6 was distributed throughout the entire cell. A transactivation assay in yeast demonstrated that MaNAC4 and MaNAC6, as well as their C-terminal regions, possessed trans-activation activity. Gene expression profiles in fruit with four different ripening characteristics, including natural, ethylene-induced, 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP)-delayed, and a combination of 1-MCP with ethylene treatment, revealed that the MaNAC genes were differentially expressed in peel and pulp during post-harvest ripening. MaNAC1 and MaNAC2 were apparently upregulated by ethylene in peel and pulp, consistent with the increase in ethylene production. In contrast, MaNAC3 in peel and pulp and MaNAC5 in peel were constitutively expressed, and transcripts of MaNAC4 in peel and pulp and MaNAC6 in peel decreased, while MaNAC5 or MaNAC6 in pulp increased slightly during fruit ripening. Furthermore, the MaNAC2 promoter was activated after ethylene application, further enhancing the involvement of MaNAC2 in fruit ripening. More importantly, yeast two-hybrid and bimolecular fluorescence complementation analyses confirmed that MaNAC1/2 physically interacted with a downstream component of ethylene signalling, ethylene insensitive 3 (EIN3)-like protein, termed MaEIL5, which was downregulated during ripening. Taken together, these results suggest that MaNACs such as MaNAC1/MaNAC2, may be involved in banana fruit ripening via interaction with ethylene signalling components.
