ABSTRACT: Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals changes in gene expression in sea cucumber (Holothuria leucospilota) in response to acute temperature stress
Project description:We assembled and annotated a de novo transcriptome using RNA-seq data consisting of regenerating and non-regenerating intestinal tissues from the sea cucumber Holothuria glaberrima. Analysis of differential expression revealed a large number of differentially expressed transcripts associated with transcription factors with diverse expression patterns. Activity involving developmental and cancer-related events found in the analysis could be related to the regenerative process. Our study demonstrates the broad and diversified gene expression profile during the early stages of the process using the mesentery as the focal point of intestinal regeneration. It also establishes the genes that are the most important candidates in the cellular processes that underlie regenerative responses.

Project description:Intestine of a total of 9 idividuals was sampled. The individuals were collected from 3 groups: Control (C), Heat stress 6h (HS6h) and Heat stress 48h (HS48h).After protein extraction,trypsin digestion and enrichment of Lys-acetylated peptides, the eluted peptides was applied with LC-MS/MS detection and data analysis.Lysine acetylproteome profiling reveals key acetylated proteins involved in heat shock response in the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus
Project description:The present study identified and characterized miRNAs, which may play a major role in stress resistance. we applied high-throughput sequencing to investigate the alterations of miRNAs expression of sea cucumber under hypoxia stress(DO2_1,DO2_2,DO2_3),slight hypoxia stress(DO4_1,DO4_2,DO4_3) and normal condition(DO8_1,DO8_2,DO8_3). These results will provide a basis for future studies of miRNA regulation in sea cucumbers under hypoxia stress.
Project description:In this work, identification of differentially expressed (DE) genes, including lncRNAs and mRNAs, in sea cucumber response to multiple environmental stress, such as thermal, hypoxic and the combined treatment.
