Project description:To explore the cold resistant feature of ground squirrel neuron cells, we compared transcriptomes of human and ground squirrel iPSC derived neurons in the response to cold treatment. We identified several key pathways that are critical for the maintenance of neuronal microtubule cytoskeleton integrity at low temperature.

Project description:Recently, intensive global climate change has become a major factor impacting plant survival during the winter. Freezing cold temperatures during the winter and abnormal temperature fluctuations during the winter and early spring are the most harmful ambient factors threatening tea plant winter survival and currently cause marked economic losses in tea production. In this study, by simulating natural climate change, we established cold acclimation (CA) and rapid cold stress (after CA) conditions to comprehensively investigate the transcriptome changes involved in CA and rapid cold stress. Electrolyte leakage (EL) rate and expression profile clustering analyses confirmed that the experimental design was valid. Comparative transcription analysis identified many differentially expressed genes (DEGs) involved in both processes. Time course and pathway enrichment analyses further revealed the physiological changes that occur during the initial period of CA and the cell wall changes that occur throughout the entire CA process; these changes play crucial roles in increasing freezing tolerance during this process. Compared with CA, different cold response mechanisms were rapidly activated under cold stress; however, the subsequent accumulation of reactive oxygen species, which affect multiple aspects, caused by freezing cold could be the harshest factor impairing tea leaves. Moreover, we investigated 60 DEGs shared by both processes and highlighted the importance of KCSs, HXXXD-type acyl-transferase family proteins, NAC080, SWEETs and ENOs in the responses to various cold conditions. These results greatly improve our knowledge of cold response mechanisms in tea plants and provide meaningful information for functional studies investigating cold tolerance-related genes.

Project description:The transcriptome of leaves from two Anthurium cultivars, Oregon (Elegang, E, cold tolerant) and Fantasy love (Menghuan, MH, cold sensitive) under cold stress were sequenced by Illumina Novaseq™ 6000. Sequencing generated a total of 129.44 Gb of raw reads and an average of 7.19 Gb of reads for each sample. The analysis showed differences of transcriptomes between the control and the cold treatment samples. We identified numerous differentially expressed genes that exhibited distinct expression patterns. These genes have known or potential roles inAnthurium cold tolerance.Therefore, we are appealing candidates for further investigation of the gene expression and associated regulatory mechanisms related to the cold stress response of A. andraeanum.

Project description:The sensation of cooling is essential for survival. Extreme cold is a noxious stimulus that drives protective behaviour and that we thus perceive as pain. However, chronic pain patients suffering from cold allodynia paradoxically experience innocuous cooling as excruciating pain. Peripheral sensory neurons that detect decreasing temperature express numerous cold-sensitive and voltage-gated ion channels that govern their response to cooling in health and disease. In this review, we discuss how these ion channels control the sense of cooling and cold pain under physiological conditions, before focusing on the molecular mechanisms by which ion channels can trigger pathological cold pain. With the ever-rising number of patients burdened by chronic pain, we end by highlighting the pressing need to define the cells and molecules involved in cold allodynia and so identify new, rational drug targets for the analgesic treatment of cold pain.

Project description:Low temperature exposure during early vegetative stages limits rice plant’s growth and development. Most genes previously related to cold tolerance in rice are from the japonica subspecies. To help clarify the mechanisms that regulate cold tolerance in young indica rice plants, comparative transcriptome analysis of 6 h cold-treated leaves from two genotypes, cold-tolerant and cold-sensitive, was performed. The cold-tolerant and cold-sensitive genotypes were previously characterized, and are sister lines (derived from the same crossing).

Project description:The fidelity of the early embryonic program is underlined by tight regulation of the chromatin. Yet, our understanding of how the chromatin is organized to prohibit the reversal of the developmental program remains limited. Specifically, the totipotency to pluripotency transition marks one of the most dramatic events to the chromatin, yet the nature of histone changes and regulation underlying this process are only partly characterized. Here we show that linker histone H1 is post-translationally modulated by SUMO2/3, which facilitates its fixation onto ultra-condensed heterochromatin in embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Upon SUMOylation depletion, the chromatin becomes de-compacted and H1 is evicted, leading to totipotency reactivation. Further, we show that H1 and SUMO2/3 jointly mediate the repression of totipotent elements. Lastly, we demonstrate that preventing SUMOylation on H1 abrogates its ability to repress totipotency in ESCs. Collectively, our findings unravel a critical role for SUMOylation of H1 in mediating chromatin repression and desolation of the totipotent identity.
