ABSTRACT: Seedlings harboring a YFP-LIMYB transgene from three independently transformed lines were used for ChiP-seq. LIMYB-GFP targets from LIMYB-32-L1 LIMYB-32-L3, and LIMYB-32-L4 isolated nuclei were immunoprecipitated using rabbit polyclonal anti-GFP - IgG antibody ChIPed-DNA was sequenced using Illumina HiSeq 4000
Project description:<p><em>Anisakis simplex</em> are parasitic nematodes that cause anisakiasis. The possibility of infection with this parasite is through consumption of raw or undercooked fish products. <em>A. simplex</em> infections are often misdiagnosed, especially in subclinical cases that do not present with typical symptoms such as urticaria, angioedema and gastrointestinal allergy. The resulting allergic reactions range from rapid-onset and potentially fatal anaphylactic reactions to chronic, debilitating conditions. While there have been numerous published studies on the genomes and proteomes of <em>A. simplex</em>, less attention has been paid to the metabolomes. Metabolomics is concerned with the composition of metabolites in biological systems. Dynamic responses to endogenous and exogenous stimuli are particularly well suited for the study of holistic metabolic responses. In addition, metabolomics can be used to determine metabolic activity at different stages of development or during growth. In this study, we reveal for the first time the metabolomes of infectious stages (L3 and L4) of <em>A. simplex</em> using untargeted metabolomics by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. In the negative ionization mode (ESI-), we identified 172 different compounds, whereas in the positive ionization mode (ESI+), 186 metabolites were found. Statistical analysis showed that 60 metabolites were found in the ESI- mode with different concentration in each group, of which 21 were more enriched in the L3 larvae and 39 in the L4 stage of <em>A. simplex</em>. Comparison of the individual developmental stages in the ESI+ mode also revealed a total of 60 differential metabolites, but 32 metabolites were more enriched in the L3 stage larvae, and 28 metabolites were more concentrated in the L4 stage. The metabolomics study revealed that the developmental stages of <em>A. simplex</em> differed in a number of metabolic pathways, including nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism. In addition, molecules responsible for successful migration within their host, such as pyridoxine and prostaglandins (E1, E2, F1a) were present in the L4 stage. In contrast, metabolic pathways for amino acids, starch and sucrose were mainly activated in the L3 stage. Our results provide new insights into the comparative metabolome profiles of two different developmental stages of <em>A. simplex</em>.</p>
Project description:AIN-2::GFP IP were used to purify miRISC from stage sychronized C.elegans populations (Egg, L1, L2, L3 and L4 stages). The mRNA composition of the IP results and the corresponding total RNA samples were analyzed by WUSTL Caenorhabditis elegans Whole Genome 23k Oligo Array. The miRISC associated mRNAs (miRNA targets) in each stage were identified by measuring the relative enrichment of each mRNA in the IP sample versus the corresponding total RNA sample The mRNAs in AIN-2::GFP IP results (IP) and the corresponding input total lysate (tot) were analyzed for each stage (Egg, L1, L2, L3, and L4 stages). At least three independent biological replicates were analyzed for each stage.

Project description:In order to confirm that L3 (G. lucidum triterpenoids fraction) could influence circRNA expression in glioma, U87 and L3-treated U87 cells were sequenced using an Illumina HiSeq 4000 sequencing system. There were 131 circRNAs identified as down-regulated and 131 circRNAs identified as up-regulated after the U87 cells were co-incubated with L3.
Project description:How our brain generates diverse neuron types that assemble into precise neural circuits remains unclear. Using Drosophila lamina neuron types (L1-L5), we show that the primary homeodomain transcription factor (HDTF) Brain-specific homeobox (Bsh) is initiated in progenitors and maintained in L4/L5 neurons to adulthood. Bsh activates secondary HDTFs Ap (L4) and Pdm3 (L5) and specifies L4/L5 neuronal fates while repressing the HDTF Zfh1 to prevent ectopic L1/L3 fates (control: L1-L5; Bsh-knockdown: L1-L3), thereby generating lamina neuronal diversity for normal visual sensitivity. Subsequently, in L4 neurons, Bsh and Ap function in a feed-forward loop to activate the synapse recognition molecule DIP-β, thereby bridging neuronal fate decision to synaptic connectivity. Expression of a Bsh:Dam specifically in L4 reveals Bsh binding to the DIP-β locus and additional candidate L4 functional identity genes. We propose that HDTFs function hierarchically to coordinate neuronal molecular identity, circuit formation, and function. Hierarchical HDTFs may represent a conserved mechanism for linking neuronal diversity to circuit assembly and function.
