Project description:Transcriptome analysis during embryogenesis usually requires pooling of embryos to obtain sufficient RNA. Hence, the measured levels of gene-expression represent the average mRNA levels of pooled samples and the biological variation among individuals is lost for inclusion into statistical models used to analyze transcriptome data. This can irreversibly reduce the robustness, resolution and expressiveness of the experiment. Therefore, we developed a robust method to isolate abundant high-quality RNA from individual embryos to perform single embryo transcriptome analyses using the zebrafish as a model. Zebrafish embryos were selected from the germ ring stage. RNA from 4 individual embryos and RNA from 4 pooled embryos and afterwards splitted material was isolated. These 8 samples were hybridized against a common reference made from a pool of 20 embryos.

Project description:This study describes a transcriptome-phenotype matching approach in which the starter L. lactis MG1363 was fermented under a variety of conditions that differed in the levels of oxygen and/or salt, as well as the fermentation pH and temperature. Samples derived from these fermentations in the exponential phase of bacterial growth were analyzed by full-genome transcriptomics and the assessment of heat and oxidative stress phenotypes. Variations in the fermentation conditions resulted in up to 1000-fold differences in survival during heat and oxidative stress. More specifically, aeration during fermentation induced protection against heat stress, whereas a relatively high fermentation temperature resulted in enhanced robustness towards oxidative stress. Concomitantly, oxygen levels and fermentation temperature induced differential expression of markedly more genes when compared with the other fermentation parameters. Correlation analysis of robustness phenotypes and gene expression levels revealed transcriptome signatures for oxidative and/or heat stress survival, including the metC-cysK operon involved in methionine and cysteine metabolism. To validate this transcriptome-phenotype association we grew L. lactis MG1363 in the absence of cysteine which led to enhanced robustness towards oxidative stress. Conclusions Overall, we demonstrated the importance of careful selection of fermentation parameters prior to industrial processing of starter cultures. Furthermore, established stress genes as well as novel genes were associated with robustness towards heat and/or oxidative stress. Assessment of the expression levels of this group of genes could function as an indicator for enhanced selection of fermentation parameters resulting in improved robustness during spray drying. The increased robustness after growth without cysteine appeared to confirm the role of expression of the metC-cysK operon as an indicator of robustness and suggests that sulfur amino acid metabolism plays a pivotal role in oxidative stress survival. two connected loops, both containing samples derived on a single day (sample 1-6, sample 7-13)

Project description:The embryonic zebrafish is an ideal system for lipid analyses with relevance to many areas of bioscience research, including biomarkers and therapeutics. Research in this area has been hampered by difficulties in extracting, identifying and quantifying lipids. We employed 1H-NMR at 700MHz to profile lipids in developing zebrafish embryos. The optimal method for lipidomics in embryonic zebrafish incorporated rapid lipid extraction using chloroform and an environment without oxygen depletion. Pools of 10 embryos gave the most acceptable signal-to-noise ratio, and the inclusion of chorions in the sample had no significant effect on lipid abundances. Embryos, bisected into cranial (head and yolk sac) and caudal (tail) regions, were compared by principal component analysis and analysis of variance.

Project description:Recently, we demonstrated that fermentation conditions strongly impact on subsequent survival of Lactococcus lactis strain MG1363 during heat and oxidative stress, two important parameters during spray drying. Moreover, employment of a transcriptome-phenotype matching approach revealed groups of genes associated with robustness towards heat and/or oxidative stress. To investigate if other strains have similar or distinct transcriptome signatures for robustness, we applied a similar transcriptome-robustness phenotype matching approach on the L. lactis strains IL1403, KF147 and SK11. These strains were employed in an identical fermentation regime as was performed earlier for strain MG1363 which consisted of twelve conditions, varying in the presence of salt and/or oxygen, as well as fermentation temperature and pH. In the exponential phase of growth, cells were harvested for transcriptome analysis and assessment of heat and oxidative stress survival phenotypes. The variation in fermentation conditions resulted in differences in heat and oxidative stress survival up to five 10-log units. Effects of the fermentation conditions on stress survival of the L. lactis strains were typically strain-dependent, although the fermentation conditions had mainly similar effects on the growth characteristics of the different strains. Association of transcriptomes and robustness phenotypes identified highly strain-specific transcriptome signatures for robustness, indicating that multiple mechanism exist to increase robustness and, as a consequence, robustness of each strain requires individual optimization. However, a relatively small overlap in the transcriptome responses of the strains was also identified and this generic transcriptome signature included genes previously associated with stress (ctsR and lplL) and novel genes, including nanE and genes encoding transport proteins. The transcript levels of these genes can function as indicators of robustness and could aid in selection of fermentation parameters, potentially resulting in more optimal robustness during spray drying.

Project description:Heterogeneous Tg(hsp70-hRASG12V) embryos were obtained by mating the male homozygous transgenic fish to wildtype females. They were raised to 24 hour-post fertilization (hpf) stage and received heatshock at 37°C in waterbath for one hour, and kept in 28.5°C till 30hpf for RNA extraction. Wildtype embryos receiving the same heatshock treatment were used as controls. Each microarray sample was prepared by pooling 50 embryos and biological duplication was used.
