Effects of the pesticide thiuram: genome-wide screening of indicator genes by yeast DNA microarray.

ABSTRACT: Although there have been studies on the toxicity of the pesticide thiuram, the present study is the first one to attempt to integrate a whole genomic response using microarray technology. From the DNA microarray experiment it was found that exposure to thiuram led to alterations of gene expression in yeast cells and that many genes involved in detoxification and stress response were highly induced. The induced genes were classified according to the MIPS yeast database. The induction of genes concerned with folding and proteolysis reflects the protein denaturing and degradation effects of the thiuram treatment The induction of genes involved in redox and defense against reaction oxygen species also suggests that thiuram has other effects, such as oxidative stress. Genes classified for carbohydrate metabolism and energy were also highly induced, and these gene products may play the role of providing the energy for the detoxification mechanism. In addition, in view of the induction of some genes involved in DNA repair, thiuram potentially causes DNA damage. Therefore, as stated in previous reports, thiuram is a potential positive toxic chemical. On the other hand, YKL071W, YCR102C, YLR303W, and YLL057C were selected based on the result of a DNA microarray experiment and used for the promoter activity assay. Thiuram treatment affected the promoter of these genes, indicating that this technique could be used for the selection of biomarker candidates. Keywords: stress response

Agricultural fungicides to gene expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae upon exposure to toxic doses

Project description:Correlations between the chemical structures of agricultural fungicides and mRNA expression levels following exposure of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to toxic doses of thiuram, zineb, maneb, TPN, and PCP were examined. Structurally, thiuram, zineb, and maneb are dithiocarbamate fungicides, whereas TPN and PCP are not. To characterize chemical toxicity, genes expression was classified according to the functional groups used by the MIPS database. However, no correlations between the classification scheme and chemical structures were found. Hierarchical clustering of gene expression profiles was performed to characterize the effects of the five chemicals. According to this analysis the similarity of gene expression profiles depended on the similarity of chemical structures. These results suggest that DNA microarray technology has potential for predicting the major chemicals which will cause environmental toxicity and will provide information on new biomonitoring methods.

Synergistic Toxicity by Cadmium and Thiuram

Project description:Bioassay is a system for monitoring toxicity of chemicals in the environment via the biological responses of experimental organisms. These responses can be detected by analysis of genome-wide changes in mRNA expression levels using DNA microarray. We applied this system for evaluation of synergistic toxicity by cadmium and thiuram, as this combination showed mutual growth inhibition in yeast. Hierarchical cluster analysis using the mRNA expression profiles suggested the response of yeast to this combination is similar to that seen with cadmium treatment. Functional characterization of induced genes by this combination treatment also suggests the enhanced toxicity of cadmium. This toxicity was observed as the damage to mitochondrial functions which were not observed with either cadmium or thiuram treatments alone. The potential toxicity to mitochondria by this combinational treatment was confirmed as the result of mitochondrial curing. We could evaluate the synergistic toxicity by cadmium and thiuram and show the possible use of transcriptome bioassay for synergistic toxicity. Keywords: stress response

Gene expression in Escherichia coli treated with human PGRP, gentamicin, and CCCP

Project description:Human Peptidoglycan Recognition Proteins (PGRPs) kill bacteria, likely by over-activating stress responses in bacteria. To gain insight into the mechanism of PGRP killing of Escherichia coli and bacterial defense against PGRP killing, gene expression in E. coli treated with a control protein (bovine serum albumin, BSA), human recombinant PGRP (PGLYRP4), gentamicin (aminoglycoside antibiotic), and CCCP (membrane potential decoupler) were compared. Each treatment induced unique and somewhat overlapping pattern of gene expression. PGRP highly increased expression of genes for oxidative and disulfide stress, detoxification and efflux of Cu, As, and Zn, repair of damaged proteins and DNA, methionine and histidine synthesis, energy generation, and Fe-S clusters repair. PGRP also caused marked decrease in the expression of genes for Fe uptake and motility. Gene expression microarray in E. coli exposed to a human bactericidal innate immunity protein, PGRP, showed induction of oxidative stress response and defense genes, with different expression pattern than E. coli exposed to an aminoglycoside antibiotic and a membrane potential decoupler.

Project description:Human Peptidoglycan Recognition Proteins (PGRPs) kill bacteria, likely by over-activating stress responses in bacteria. To gain insight into the mechanism of PGRP killing of Bacillus subtilis and bacterial defense against PGRP killing, gene expression in B. subtilis treated with a control protein (bovine serum albumin, BSA), human recombinant PGRP (PGLYRP4), gentamicin (aminoglycoside antibiotic), and CCCP (membrane potential decoupler) were compared. Each treatment induced unique and somewhat overlapping pattern of gene expression. PGRP highly increased expression of genes for oxidative and disulfide stress, detoxification and efflux of Cu, As, and Zn, several transporters, repair of damaged proteins and DNA, energy generation, histidine and cysteine synthesis, envelope lysis and remodeling, and other stress responses. PGRP also caused marked decrease in the expression of genes for phosphate uptake and utilization, Fe uptake, and motility. Gene expression microarray in B. subtilis exposed to a human bactericidal innate immunity protein, PGRP, showed induction of oxidative stress response and defense genes, with different expression pattern than B. subtilis exposed to an aminoglycoside antibiotic and a membrane potential decoupler.

Recovery from freezing

Project description:Screening of genes that respond to cryopreservation stress using yeast DNA microarray.: We studied the response of yeast cells after cryopreservation treatment using DNA microarray technology. Genes that contribute to "Cell rescue, defense and virulence," "energy," and "metabolism," were significantly induced. These genes were classified as encoding heat shock proteins, oxidative stress scavenger, and enzymes involved in glucose metabolism. The expression profile of mRNA after cryopreservation treatment was calculated to be closer to that following treatment with detergent or plant oils rather than by other stress factors such as heavy metals and agricultural chemicals. These results suggest that the cryopreservation treatment caused damage to the structure of the cell wall and cellular organelles. This was supported by the localization of the products of the induced genes at the cell wall and within cellular organelles. Keywords: stress response

Functional analysis of Mpk1-mediated cell wall integrity signaling pathway in the thermotolerant methylotrophic yeast Hansenula polymorpha

Project description:Purpose: To identify the downstream gene sets regulated by Mpk1p in H. polymorpha under normal and caffeine-treated conditions, we compared the RNA-seq based transcriptional profiles. Methods: Total RNA was isolated according to the hot phenol extraction method and all procedure for RNA sequencing were conducted by ChunLab. More than 1.5-fold regulated genes are functionally classified using the Munich Information Center for Protein Sequences (MIPS) FunCat. Results: Transcriptome analysis of the DL1-L strain revealed that caffeine significantly increased expression of a subset of cell-wall related genes in an Mpk1p-dependent manner, but most of which were not Rlm1-target genes. Conclusion: Our results support the essential role of Mpk1p in maintaining cell wall integrity upon several stress conditions of H. polymorpha.

SKN-1-dependent oxidative stress response in C. elegans

Project description:Oxidative stress may play a role in normal aging. SKN-1 is a transcription factor necessary for intestine development in Caenorhabditis elegans, which also regulates the response to oxidative stress post-embryonically. Using DNA microarrays, we found that oxidative stress induces the antioxidant response, the heat shock response, and detoxification genes, while the expression of genes involved in homeostasis, development, and reproduction were decreased. Both up-regulated and down-regulated genes can be wholly, partially, or not at all dependent on SKN-1 action. However, induction of the heat shock response by oxidative stress was not affected by SKN-1 removal. Keywords: stress response
