Nitrogen and cycloheximide effects on protoplast and TF-target identification in the TARGET assay

ABSTRACT: The effects of nitrogen and cycloheximide treatments on nitrogen response and TF-target identification was tested in the cell-based TARGET assay. For protoplast experiments, Arabidopsis plants were grown on low nitrogen (1mM KNO3) and after 10 days protoplasts were generated from root tissue. Cells were transfected with a vector containing the GR-TGA4 fusion or GR-only empty vector and incubated overnight. In the morning, samples were pre-treated with nitrogen as specified for 2 hours, and +/-cycloheximide for 20 minutes, before TF entry into the nucleus was induced with dexamethasone. 3 hours after dex treatment samples were FACS sorted into RNA extraction buffer. For whole roots, Arabidopsis were grown in liquid media with low nitrogen (1 mM KNO3) in Phytatrays for 11 days. In the morning and at the same time as the protoplasts, the plants were transferred to fresh media containing either 20 mM KCL or 20mM KNO3 + 20mM NH4NO3 for 5 hours. Roots were harvested and immediately frozen in liquid N2.

Project description:The organs of multicellular species are comprised of cell types that must function together to perform specific tasks. One critical organ function is responding to internal or external change but little is known about how responses are tailored to specific cell types or coordinated among them on a global level. Here we use cellular profiling of five Arabidopsis root cell types in response to a limiting resource, nitrogen, to uncover a vast and predominantly cell-specific response that was largely undetectable using traditional methods. These methods reveal a new class of cell-specific nitrogen responses. As a proof-of-principle, we dissected one cell-specific response circuit that mediates nitrogen-induced changes in root branching from pericycle cells. Thus, cellular response profiling links gene modules to discrete functions in specific cell types. Experiment Overall Design: The whole experiment was carried out in triplicate with 84 chips in total (28 experiments). The nitrogen response in 5 FACS-sorted root cell types (LRC, lateral root cap; EpiC, epidermis and cortex; EndoP, endodermis and pericycle; Peri, pericycle; Stele, stele), protoplasts and Col-0 whole roots was assayed using microarrays. 5mM KNO3 was used as a nitrogen treatment for 2 hours. 5mM KCl was used as a control treatment for the same length of time. 1mM MSX in combination with 5mM KNO3 (or with 5mM KCl as a control) was used to block the assimilation of KNO3, and 5mM Gln added to restore it in order to separate KNO3 effects from assimilated-nitrogen effects. 5mM KNO3 was either maintained in the protoplast-generating solution (continuous treat) or not (transitory treat) to test how to best preserve the cellular nitrogen-response during the 1 hr protoplast generating procedure. As controls we used protoplasts, whole roots frozen directly after the 2hr treatment or 3.5hr treatment, or whole roots incubated in protoplast-generating solution (minus enzymes; transitory or continuous treated) and then frozen. After FACS-sorting or mock FACS-sorting cells were frozen.
