Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a devastating disease characterized as progressive and irreversible fibrosis in the interstitium of lung tissues. There is still an unmet need to develop a novel therapeutic drug for IPF. We have previously demonstrated that periostin, a matricellular protein, plays an important role in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis. However, the underlying mechanism of how periostin causes pulmonary fibrosis remains unclear. In this study, we sought to see whether the cross-talk between transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b), a central mediator in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis, and periostin in lung fibroblasts leads to generation of pulmonary fibrosis and whether taking advantage of the cross-talk between TGF-b and periostin, inhibitors for integrin aVb3, a periostin receptor, can block pulmonary fibrosis in the model mice. We found that there exists a cross-talk between TGF-b and periostin signals via aVb3/b5 converging into Smad3. This cross-talk is important for expression of several downstream molecules of TGF-b including serpin family E member 1, CCN family member 2/connective tissue growth factor, insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3, and IL-11, all of which have been already shown to be important for pulmonary fibrosis. We, moreover, found several potent integrin inhibitors to block the cross-talking with TGF-b signals and CP4715, one of the compounds, improved bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice. These results suggest that the cross-talk between TGF-b and periostin can be targeted for pulmonary fibrosis and that CP4715 can be a potential therapeutic agent to block the cross-talk between TGF-b and periostin.

Project description:Orthologous proteins often harbor numerous substitutions, but whether these differences result from neutral or adaptive processes is usually unclear. To tackle this challenge, we examined the divergent evolution of a model bacterial signaling pathway comprising the kinase PhoR and its cognate substrate PhoB. We show that the specificity-determining residues of these proteins are typically under purifying selection, but have, in α-proteobacteria, undergone a burst of diversification followed by extended stasis. By reversing mutations that accumulated in an α-proteobacterial PhoR, we demonstrate that these substitutions were adaptive, enabling PhoR to avoid cross-talk with a paralogous pathway that arose specifically in α-proteobacteria. Our findings demonstrate that duplication and the subsequent need to avoid cross-talk strongly influence signaling protein evolution. These results provide a concrete example of how system-wide insulation can be achieved post-duplication through a surprisingly limited number of mutations. Our work may help explain the apparent ease with which paralogous protein families expanded in all organisms. Two-condition experiment, mutant vs. WT in given growth media

Project description:The plant hormone gibberellin (GA) represents an important regulator of growth and development. Early transcriptional events controlled by GA are not well characterised. Previous microarray studies have identified genes responsive to GA treatment in the whole seedling. The whole seedling represents many tissues where subtle effects of GA treatment in specific tissues may be masked. When treated with GA, an effect on the growth rate of roots was observed. More specifically, the shorter root of a GA-deficient plant can be rescued to wild-type length by the application of GA. This experiment was designed to identify GA-regulated genes in the root tips of Arabidopsis. The use of a GA-deficient mutant provides a greater potential to identify genes responding to GA treatment. Root tips are ideally suited for the quick uptake of the hormone treatment. There will be two biological replicates which will each consist of a control treatment at 0 minutes and 2 hours, as well as the experimental GA-treated 2 hour time point. This system provides an opportunity to compare gene expression between treated and non-treated root tips and allow the identification of early GA-responsive genes.

Project description:The performance of Pseudomonas biocontrol agents may be improved by applying mixtures of strains which are complementary in their capacity to suppress plant diseases. Here, we have chosen the combination of Pseudomonas fluorescens CHA0 with another well-characterized biocontrol agent, P. fluorescens Q2-87, as a model to study how these strains affect each other's expression of a biocontrol trait. In both strains, production of the antimicrobial compound 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (DAPG) is a crucial factor contributing to the suppression of root diseases. DAPG acts as a signaling compound inducing the expression of its own biosynthetic genes. Experimental setups were developed to investigate whether, when combining strains CHA0 and Q2-87, DAPG excreted by one strain may influence expression of DAPG-biosynthetic genes in the other strain in vitro and on the roots of wheat. DAPG production was monitored by observing the expression of lacZ fused to the biosynthetic gene phlA of the respective strain. Dual-culture assays in which the two strains were grown in liquid medium physically separated by a membrane revealed that Q2-87 but not its DAPG-negative mutant Q2-87::Tn5-1 strongly induced phlA expression in a DeltaphlA mutant of strain CHA0. In the same way, phlA expression in a Q2-87 background was induced by DAPG produced by CHA0. When coinoculated onto the roots of wheat seedlings grown under gnotobiotic conditions, strains Q2-87 and CHA0, but not their respective DAPG-negative mutants, were able to enhance phlA expression in each other. In summary, we have established that two nonrelated pseudomonads may stimulate each other in the expression of an antimicrobial compound important for biocontrol. This interpopulation communication occurs in the rhizosphere, i.e., at the site of pathogen inhibition, and is mediated by the antimicrobial compound itself acting as a signal exchanged between the two pseudomonads.

Project description:DNA methylation and histone modifications are epigenetic marks implicated in the complex regulation of vertebrate embryogenesis. The cross-talk between DNA methylation and Polycomb-dependent H3K27me3 histone mark has been reported in a number of organisms and both marks are known to be required for proper developmental progression. Here we provide genome-wide DNA methylation (MethylCap-seq) and H3K27me3 (ChIP-seq) maps for three stages (dome, 24hpf and 48hpf) of zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryogenesis, as well as all analytical and methodological details associated with the generation of this dataset.
