Project description:The Squalius alburnoides complex (Steindachner) is one of the most intricate hybrid polyploid systems known in vertebrates. In this complex, the constant switch of the genome composition in consecutive generations, very frequently involving a change on the ploidy level, promotes repetitive situations of potential genomic shock. Previously in this complex, it was shown that in response to the increase in the genome dosage, triploid hybrids could regulate gene expression to a diploid state. In this work, we compared the small RNA profiles in the different genomic compositions interacting in the complex. Using high-throughput arrays and sequencing technologies, we were able to verify that diploid and triploid hybrids were closely related: they shared most of their sequences and their miRNA expression profiles were highly correlated. However, an overall view indicates an up-regulation of a substantial number of miRNAs in triploids. Also, the global miRNA expression in triploids was higher than predicted from an additive model. These results point to a participation of miRNAs in the cellular functional stability needed when the ploidy change.

For each sample, a library based on 3 individuals of the same genomic constitution was prepared. From each individual, 3 types of tissues were collected for RNA extraction (brain, liver and muscle).

Project description:How allopolyploids are able not only to cope but profit from their condition is a question that remain elusive, but of great importance within the wide context of successful hybrid polyploid evolution. One outstanding example of successful allopolyploidy is the endemic Iberian S. alburnoides fish complex. Previously, based on the evaluation of 7 genes, it was reported that the transcription levels between diploid and triploid hybrid S. alburnoides were similar. If this phenomenon would occur on a full genomic scale, a wide functional diploidization could be related to the success of polyploids. We generated RNA-seq data from whole juvenile fish and from an adult tissue, to perform the first comparative quantitative transcriptomic analysis between ploidy levels of a vertebrate allopolyploid. We found 64% in juvenilesM-b full body samples and 44% in liver samples of similar expression between diploid and triploid hybrids, and those genes are mostly involved in processes of basal biological maintenance of the cells. Yet, respectively only 29% and 15% of transcripts presented accurate dosage compensation. Therefore, an exact functional diploidization of the triploid genome does not occur, but globally a significant down regulation of gene expression in triploids was observed. We find that for those genes which show similar expression levels in diploids and triploids, expression in triploids is not globally strictly proportional to gene dosage nor is it set to a perfect diploid level. This quantitative flexibility of expression may be a strong contributor to overcome the 'genomic shock', and be an immediate evolutionary advantage of allopolyploids. Genotypes: Squalius alburnoides is an allopolyploid cyprinid, resulting from interspecific hybridization between females of Squalius pyrenaicus (P genome) and males of a now extinct species related to Anaecypris hispanica (A genome). S. alburnoides natural populations arecomposed of animals of different ploidy levels and genomic constitutions (different genotypes). The predominant S. alburnoides complex intervenients in the Iberian Peninsula southern rivers are the hybrid triploid PAA, diploid PA, the parental-like diploid AA and the parental species S. pyrenaicus PP.

Project description:Production of sterile fishes through artificial retention of a third set of chromosomes (triploidy) is a sustainable alternative for aquaculture since it reduces pressure on wild populations. However, these fishes have reduced survival in stressful conditions and in response to pathogens. In this study, the impact of Vibrio anguillarum infection on diploid and triploid Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) was investigated to identify if there was any significant regulation by microRNAs (miRNA) in immune responsive tissues. Small RNAs from hindgut, head kidney, and spleen were sequenced to determine miRNA transcript abundance was altered due to ploidy and infection in nine-month old full-sibling diploids and triploids. Diploids had higher percent survival at the end of the infection, but no difference was found in mortality between the two ploidies. All three tissues had differentially expressed miRNA prior to infection, indicating that subtle changes in epigenetic regulation due to increased ploidy. Additionally, miRNA were altered by infection, but only in spleen was there a difference in miRNA expression between diploids and triploids after three days of infection. Furthermore, one miRNA (ssa-miR-2188-3p) was confirmed as having an altered response to infection in triploids compared to diploids, implicating potential immune dysregulation due to increased ploidy. The miRNAs identified in this study are predicted to target immune pathways, providing evidence for their importance in regulating responses to pathogens. This study is the first to investigate how increased ploidy alters miRNA expression in response to infection. Additionally, it provides evidence for epigenetic dysregulation in triploid fishes, which may contribute to their poor performance in response to stress.

Project description:Heterosis and polyploidy are two important aspects of plant evolution. To examine these issues, we conducted a global gene expression study of a maize ploidy series as well as a set of tetraploid inbred and hybrid lines. This gene expression analysis complements an earlier phenotypic study of these same materials. We find that ploidy change affects a large fraction of the genome, albeit at low levels; gene expression changes rarely exceed 2-fold and are typically not statistically significant. The most common gene expression profile we detected is greater than linear increase from monoploid to diploid, and reductions from diploid to triploid and from triploid to tetraploid, a trend that mirrors plant stature. When examining heterosis in tetraploid maize lines, we found a large fraction of the genome impacted but the majority of changes were not statistically significant at 2-fold or less. Non-additive expression was common in the hybrids, and the extent of non-additivity increased both in number and magnitude from duplex to quadruplex hybrids. Overall, we find that gene expression trends mirror observations from the phenotypic studies; however, obvious mechanistic connections remain unknown. We examined gene expression in a ploidy series (1n to 4n) of the maize line B73 and in a variety of hybrid tetraploid lines using a complex loop design. Pooled RNA samples from 10 plants were used (2 independent RNA isolations/sample), and all comparisons were made using replicate dye swaps (16 slide sets/comparison). For the ploidy analysis, all expression changes were computed relative to the diploid as well as between 2n + 3n and 3n + 4n. For the expression analysis of hybrids, hybrid expression levels were compared to the parental expression levels as well as to mid-parent levels.

Project description:Heterosis occurs where F1 offspring display superior characteristics to the parents. Heterosis is usually considered to result from crosses of genetically distinct (e.g. homozygous inbred) parents producing heterozygous F1 offspring. Most mechanistic models for heterosis require genetically heterozygous F1 hybrid offspring harbouring allelic diversity. Epigenetic or dosage models for heterosis could allow for heterosis effects in F1 offspring that display no allelic diversity with their parents. Reciprocal inter-ploidy crosses between diploid (2x) and tetraploid (4x) lines in the same genetic background generates genetically identical F1 triploids (3x). Such reciprocal F1 triploids differ according to whether the additional chromosome set is either maternally (maternal excess) or paternally inherited (paternal excess). Biomass accumulation and abiotic stress tolerance between the parental (2x and 4x) and reciprocal F1 triploid (3x) offspring of Arabidopsis thaliana accession C24 reveals a strong parental genome-dosage induced heterosis in the paternal-excess triploid F1 plants. In these F1 triploids, the circadian clock related genes CCA1 and TOC1, and the growth factors PIF4 and PIF5, display different expression levels compared to the non-heterotic maternal excess F1 triploid siblings. Whole transcriptome profiling reveals a paternal genome dosage effect on gene expression levels with strong enrichment for dysregulated abiotic stress-related genes in the paternal excess F1 triploids. This study demonstrates that heterosis can be triggered without allelic diversity in F1 triploid plants. Heterosis without heterozygosity in plants can be induced via an epigenetic “chromosome imprinting” like parental genome dosage effect requiring paternal transmission of an additional chromosome set 4 or 5 biological replicates per ploidy level, each replicate being a single two weeks old seedling

Project description:Most cells in the liver are polyploid, but the functional role of polyploidy is unknown. We developed orthogonal mouse models to transiently and potently alter liver ploidy. Premature weaning, as well as knockdown of E2f8 or Anln, allowed us to toggle between diploid and polyploid states. While there was no impact of ploidy alterations on liver function, metabolism, or regeneration, more polyploid mice suppressed and more diploid mice accelerated tumorigenesis in mutagen and high-fat induced models. Mechanistically, the diploid state was more susceptible to Cas9-mediated tumor suppressor loss but was similarly susceptible to MYC oncogene activation, indicating that ploidy differentially protected the liver from distinct genomic aberrations.
