Kinetics of the Arabidopsis organellar and nuclear (post)transcriptomes under drought stress

ABSTRACT: We extended the investigation of nuclear transcript changes under drought to an overarching characterization of the post(transcriptome), including alternative splicing of nuclear transcripts, accumulation of organellar (chloroplast and mitochondrion) transcripts, editing and splicing of organellar transcripts, and furthermore, accumulation of transposable elements. To this end, long non-coding (lncRNA-Seq) instead of mRNA-Seq was applied, because the lncRNA-Seq workflow employs library preparation after ribosomal RNA depletion instead of library preparation of enriched mRNAs (mRNA-Seq).

Project description:We developed a high-throughput mutagenesis screen to comprehensively identify the cis-regulatory elements that control a target splicing event from the MST1R gene that codes for the RON receptor tyrosine kinase. Skipping of alternative exon 11 results in a constitutively active isoform that promotes epithelial to mesenchymal transition and thereby contributes to the invasive phenotype of tumors. First, we created a library of mutated minigenes via mutagenic PCR. Importantly, the reverse primer introduced a random barcode sequence which labels the associated mutations. Next, the plasmid library was transfected as a pool and depending on the mutations, the transcripts exhibit changes in alternative splicing. The minigene library and the splicing outcome were analyzed by next-generation sequencing and subsequent integration of the datasets resulted in a map of splicing regulatory sites. The RNA-seq experiment was performed to quantify the transcript isoforms and sequence their associated barcodes in order to characterize the splicing outcome of the minigene library in HEK293T cells. For preparation of high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) libraries, the total RNA obtained from transfected HEK293T cells was enriched for mRNA by performing polyA selection of 20 µg of total RNA using Dynabeads® Oligo (dT)25 beads (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Reverse transcription was carried out using 500 ng of enriched mRNA under the abovementioned conditions. To prevent the formation of chimeric amplicons, the libraries were amplified using emulsion PCR (PMID: 16791213), with Phusion DNA Polymerase (NEB) and either cDNA derived from polyA-selected RNA in the case of RNA-seq or plasmid DNA of the minigene library in the case of high-throughput DNA sequencing (DNA-seq). To amplify fragments for RNA-seq, the following primers containing Illumina sequencing adaptors were used: 5′-CAAGCAGAAGACGGCATACGAGATCGGTCTCGGCATTCCTGCTGAACCGCTCTTCCGATCTNNNNNNNNNNGTTCCACTGAAGCCTGAG-3′ (forward primer) and 5′-AATGATACGGCGACCACCGAGATCTACACTCTTTCCCTACACGACGCTCTTCCGATCTNNNNNNNNNNATAGAATAGGGCCCTCTAGA-3′ (reverse primer). PCR products were purified using Agencourt AMPure XP beads (Beckman Coulter). Purified products were first analysed with the TapeStation 2200 capillary gel electrophoresis instrument (Agilent) and then fluorimetrically quantified using a Qubit fluorimeter (Thermo Scientific). Sequencing was carried out on the Illumina MiSeq platform using paired-end reads of 300 nt length and a 10% PhiX spike-in to increase sequence complexity.

Project description:Background: To determine differentially expressed and spliced RNA transcripts in chronic lymphocytic leukemia specimens a high throughput RNA-sequencing (HTS RNA-seq) analysis was performed. Methods: Ten CLL specimens and five normal peripheral blood CD19+ B cells were analyzed by HTS RNA-seq. The library preparation was performed with Illumina TrueSeq RNA kit and analyzed by Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencing system. Results: An average of 48.5 million reads for B cells, and 50.6 million reads for CLL specimens were obtained with 10396 and 10448 assembled transcripts for normal B cells and primary CLL specimens respectively. With the Cuffdiff analysis, 2091 differentially expressed genes (DEG) between B cells and CLL specimens based on FPKM (fragments per kilobase of transcript per million reads and false discovery rate, FDR q<0.05, fold change >2) were identified. Expression of selected DEGs (n=32) with up regulated and down regulated expression in CLL from RNA-seq data were also analyzed by qRT-PCR in a test cohort of CLL specimens. Even though there was a variation in fold expression of DEG genes between RNA-seq and qRT-PCR; more than 90% of analyzed genes were validated by qRT-PCR analysis. Analysis of RNA-seq data for splicing alterations in CLL and B cells was performed by Multivariate Analysis of Transcript Splicing (MATS analysis). Skipped exon was the most frequent splicing alteration in CLL specimens with 128 significant events (P-value <0.05, minimum inclusion level difference >0.1). Conclusion: The RNA-seq analysis of CLL specimens identifies novel DEG and alternatively spliced genes that are potential prognostic markers and therapeutic targets. High level of validation by qRT-PCR for a number of DEG genes supports the accuracy of this analysis. Global comparison of transcriptomes of B cells, IGVH non-mutated CLL (U-CLL) and mutated CLL specimens (M-CLL) with multidimensional scaling analysis was able to segregate CLL and B cell transcriptomes but the M-CLL and U-CLL transcriptomes were indistinguishable. The analysis of HTS RNA-seq data to identify alternative splicing events and other genetic abnormalities specific to CLL is an added advantage of RNA-seq that is not feasible with other genome wide analysis. Ten CLL specimens and five normal peripheral blood CD19+ B cells were analyzed by HTS RNA-seq. The library preparation was performed with Illumina TrueSeq RNA kit and analyzed by Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencing system.
