Project description:Astragalus species are medicinal plants that are used in the world for years. Some Astragalus species are known for selenium accumulation and tolerance and one of them is Astragalus chrysochlorus, a secondary selenium accumulator. In this study, we employed Illumina deep sequencing technology for the first time to de novo assemble A. chrysochlorus transcriptome and identify the differentially expressed genes after selenate treatment. Totally, 59,656 unigenes were annotated with different databases and 53,960 unigenes were detected in NR database. Transcriptome in A. chrysochlorus is closer to Glycine max than other plant species with 43,1 percentage of similarity. Annotated unigenes were also used for gene ontology enrichment and pathway enrichment analysis. The most significant genes and pathways were ABC transporters, plant pathogen interaction, biosynthesis of secondary metabolites and carbohydrate metabolism. Our results will help to enlighten the selenium accumulation and tolerance mechanisms, respectively in plants.

Project description:Presently, concern regarding the effects of selenium (Se) on the environment and organisms worldwide is increasing. Too much Se in the soil is harmful to plants. In this study, Illumina RNA sequencing and the untargeted metabolome of control and Se-treated celery seedlings were analyzed. In total, 297,911,046 clean reads were obtained and assembled into 150,218 transcripts (50,876 unigenes). A total of 36,287 unigenes were annotated using different databases. Additionally, 8,907 differentially expressed genes, including 5,319 up- and 3,588 downregulated genes, were identified between mock and Se-treated plants. "Phenylpropanoid biosynthesis" was the most enriched KEGG pathway. A total of 24 sulfur and selenocompound metabolic unigenes were differentially expressed. Furthermore, 1,774 metabolites and 237 significant differentially accumulated metabolites were identified using the untargeted metabolomic approach. We conducted correlation analyses of enriched KEGG pathways of differentially expressed genes and accumulated metabolites. Our findings suggested that candidate genes and metabolites involved in important biological pathways may regulate Se tolerance in celery. The results increase our understanding of the molecular mechanism responsible for celery's adaptation to Se stress.

Project description:Protein and mRNA levels for several selenoproteins, such as glutathione peroxidase-1 (Gpx1), are down-regulated dramatically by selenium (Se) deficiency. Selenoprotein levels in rats increase sigmoidally with increasing dietary Se and reach defined plateaus at the Se requirement, making them sensitive biomarkers for Se deficiency, but not high for Se status. Biomarkers for high Se status are needed as super-nutritional Se intakes are associated with beneficial and adverse health outcomes, but conventional biomarkers are not especially useful above the Se requirement. To characterize Se regulation of the transcriptome, we conducted 3 microarray experiments in weanling mice and rats fed Se-deficient diets supplemented with levels of Se up to 5 µg Se/g diet.

Rats or mice were fed Se-deficient diets supplemented with sodium selenite up to 5 ug Se/g diet for 28 or 35 days. Affymetrix Rat 230 2.0 and Mouse 430 2.0 Genome Arrays were used to analyze gene expression in liver in all studies plus kidney in the mouse study.

Project description:Orchidaceae are renowned for their spectacular flowers as well as other reproductive and ecological adaptations. After the genome of the tropical epiphytic orchid Phalaenopsis equestris was sequenced, we combined Trinity data for de novo assembly and Illumina HiSeq1500 data for RNA-Seq analysis to characterize the transcriptomes of four different organs for a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms driving these characteristics. We present four de novo assembled transcripts reconstructed from RNA collected from the root, stem, leaf, and flower of Phalaenopsis equestris. These sets of transcripts greatly enrich the available data for Phalaenopsis equestris. Here, we present two databases, and each dataset allows for a different type of search for candidate homologues. The first dataset consists of the sets of assembled unigenes, which enable a sequence-based search. A comprehensive analysis of the assembled unigenes revealed the unigenes from root, stem, leaf, and flower with high e-values aligned versus the Nr, Swiss-Port, KEGG, COG, and GO database, respectively. This analysis enabled the production of a second database, which includes sequences correlated with annotated transcript names as well as the confidence of the best hit from BLAST.

Project description:Trace element selenium (Se) is incorporated as the 21st amino acid, selenocysteine (Sec), into selenoproteins through tRNA[Ser]Sec. Selenoproteins act as gatekeepers of redox homeostasis and modulate immune function to effect anti-inflammation and resolution. However, mechanistic underpinnings involving metabolic reprogramming during inflammation and resolution remain poorly understood. Endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) activation of murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) cultured in the presence or absence of Se (as selenite) was used to examine temporal changes in the proteome and metabolome by multiplexed tandem mass tag-quantitative proteomics, metabolomics, and machine-learning approaches. Se-dependent modulation of glycolytic, TCA and PPP pathways predisposed BMDMs to preferentially increase OXPHOS to efficiently regulate inflammation and its timely resolution. Use of macrophages lacking selenoproteins, indicated that all three metabolic nodes were sensitive to selenoproteome expression. Furthermore, inhibition of SDH with dimethylmalonate affected the pro-resolving effects of Se by increasing the resolution interval in a murine peritonitis model.

Project description:Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element for human and animal health. Se fertilizer has been used to increase the Se content in crops to meet the Se requirements in humans and animals. To address the challenge of Se poisoning in plants, the mechanisms underlying Se-induced stress in plants must be understood. Here, to elucidate the effects of Se stress on the protein levels in pepper, we used an integrated approach involving tandem mass tag labeling, HPLC fractionation, and mass spectrometry-based analysis. A total of 4,693 proteins were identified, 3,938 of which yielded quantitative information. Among them, the expression of 172 proteins was up-regulated, and the expression of 28 proteins was down-regulated in the Se/mock treatment comparison. According to the above data, we performed a systematic bioinformatics analysis of all identified proteins and differentially expressed proteins (DEPs). The DEPs were most strongly associated with the terms ‘metabolic process’, ‘posttranslational modification, protein turnover, chaperones,’ and ‘protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum’ according to GO, KOG classification, and KEGG enrichment analysis, respectively. Furthermore, several heat shock proteins were identified as DEPs. These results provide insights that may facilitate further studies on the pepper proteome expressed downstream of the Se stress response. Our data revealed that the responses of pepper to Se stress involve various pathways.

Project description:Selenium is an essential microelement for humans and animals. The specific processing technique of oats can maximize the preservation of its nutrients. In this study, to understand the genetic response of oats in a high-selenium environment, oats were treated with sodium selenate for 24 h, and transcriptome analysis was performed. A total of 211,485,930 clean reads composing 31.30 Gb of clean data were retained for four samples. After assembly, 186,035 unigenes with an average length of 727 bp were generated, and the N50 length was 1,149 bp. Compared with that in the control group, the expression of 7,226 unigenes in the treatment group was upregulated, and 2,618 unigenes were downregulated. Based on the sulfur assimilation pathway and selenocompound metabolic pathway, a total of 27 unigenes related to selenate metabolism were identified. Among them, the expression of both key genes APS (ATP sulfurylase) and APR (adenosine 5'-phosphosulfate reductase) was upregulated more than 1,000-fold under selenate treatment, while that of CBL (cystathionine-β-synthase) was upregulated 3.12-fold. Based on the transcriptome analysis, we suspect that the high-affinity sulfur transporter Sultr1;2 plays a key role in selenate uptake in oats. A preliminary regulatory mechanism explains the oat response to selenate treatment was ultimately proposed based on the transcriptome analysis and previous research.

Project description:The trace element selenium (Se) plays an important role in thyroid hormone metabolism. Low Se intake is associated with atuoimmune hypothyroidism. The interaction of Se and Graves’ disease (GD) is only poorly characterized. We have investigated the importance of dietary Se supply for GD by performing a more in-depth analysis of a large cross-sectional study of 6152 participants from two counties within the Shaanxi Province, China, which are characterized by different habitual Se intakes, and studied the effects of different dietary Se supply (0.02, 0.18, 0.6 or 2.0 ppm Se) on disease development in a mouse model of GD. In the cross-sectional study, prevalence of GD in the two areas of different Se intake was similar, and the Se status of GD patients was not different from healthy control subjects. The dietary Se supply in the animal model was not affecting thyroid hormone levels, malondialdehyde concentrations, total antioxidant capacity or the titer of GD-causing TSH receptor autoantibodies (TRAb). Expression analysis of transcripts in spleen indicated regulatory effects of Se intake on genes implicated in the immune response, erythropoiesis and oxygen status. However, the humoral immune response including the ratio of CD4/CD8 or Th1/Th2 cells, and the concentration of Treg cells were similar between the experimental groups despite their varying Se intakes. Our data from both the epidemiological analysis and animal experiment do not indicate a major role of Se in the development of GD, and highlight that autoimmune hypothyroidism and GD differ in their relation to Se status.
