Project description:Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is a thermally dimorphic fungus, which causes the most prevalent systemic mycosis in Latin America. Infection is initiated by inhalation of conidia or mycelial fragments by the host, followed by further differentiation into the yeast form. Information regarding gene expression by either form has been rarely addressed with respect to multiple time points of growth in culture. Here, we report on the construction of a genomic DNA microarray, covering approximately 25% of the organismM-bM-^@M-^Ys genome, and its utilization in identifying genes and gene expression patterns during growth in vitro. Cloned, amplified inserts from randomly sheared gDNA and known control genes were printed onto glass slides to generate a microarray of over 12,000 elements. To examine gene expression, mRNA was extracted and amplified from mycelial or yeast cultures grown in semi-defined medium for 5, 8 and 14 days. Principal components analysis and hierarchical clustering indicated that yeast gene expression profiles differed greatly from mycelia, especially at earlier time-points, and that mycelial gene expression changed less than it did on yeasts over time. Genes, upregulated in yeasts, were found to be involved in methionine/cysteine metabolism, respiratory processes, metabolic processes (sugars, amino acids, proteins and lipids), transporters (small peptides, sugar, ions and toxin), regulatory proteins and transcription factors. Mycelia genes involved in processes such as cell division, protein catabolism, nucleotide biosynthesis and toxin and sugar transporters showed differential expression. Sequenced clones were compared with Histoplasma capsulatum and Coccidioides posadasii genome sequences to assess potentially common pathways across species, such as sulfur and lipid metabolism, amino acid transporters, transcription factors and genes possibly related to virulence. We also analyzed gene expression with time in culture and found that while transposable elements and components of respiratory pathways tended to increase in expression with time, genes coding for ribosomal structural proteins and protein catabolism tended to sharply decrease in expression over time, particularly in yeast. These findings expand knowledge about the different morphologic forms of P. brasiliensis during growth in culture. Briefly we aimed at generating and comparing gene expression patterns of P. brasiliensis mycelia and yeasts during growth in liquid modified McVeigh/Morton media for 5, 8 and 14 days. We extracted total RNA from two cultures per time point for each morphologic form. Hybridizations were done twice for each total RNA sample. We used sheared genomic DNA as reference sample (Cy3) on every slide. Normalization was done as follows: Raw data underwent global normalization using the R statistical package to perform quantile normalization of the global reference channel by computing the centroid of all global reference signatures, and performing a loess fit of each individual global reference signature to the centroid. The loess curve for a given sample was then used to scale both channels for each gene in that sample. After that data was loaded in GeneSpring GX 7.3.1 and underwent the following normalization steps: -per spot to the gDNA channel -per slide using 102 positive controls (listed below) -per gene to each geneM-bM-^@M-^Ys respective median Positive controls: JM_2d11 JM_5a12 JM_22h5 JM_120a12 JM_61c4 JM_15g2 JM_13g9 JM_27c1 JM_55a6 JM_42a8 JM_14e1 JM_66c4 JM_13a9 JM_109e5 JM_20c1 JM_100a11 JM_62d8 JM_105c11 JM_22e8 JM_6a7 JM_66a5 JM_1e7 JM_42f5 JM_99h9 JM_9c7 JM_123g1 JM_33e5 JM_112a2 JM_25g6 JM_114h6 JM_98b1 JM_38h9 JM_30e11 JM_10e10 JM_22g11 JM_120c9 JM_120g4 JM_87g2 JM_70e12 JM_119e12 JM_79b12 JM_99a8 JM_67b5 JM_41b11 JM_76a2 JM_131e11 JM_65c2 JM_104e12 JM_26h3 JM_18c11 JM_56a7 JM_111c8 JM_21c9 JM_5e1 JM_3g12 JM_64e7 JM_115e5 JM_74c5 JM_117a5 JM_17b12 JM_10a5 JM_118e2 JM_15e5 JM_73e8 JM_89c6 JM_1c5 JM_5c8 JM_2e1 JM_83f10 JM_81e10 JM_83f11 JM_116a3 JM_5b11 JM_4c4 JM_86g6 JM_66e10 JM_44a6 JM_22a1 JM_22b4 JM_16a2 JM_22b5 JM_79g2 JM_26a11 JM_94b5 JM_25c2 JM_17e3 JM_66g1 JM_54a9 JM_84a11 JM_74b11 JM_115c6 JM_14a6 JM_122c9 JM_133e9 JM_11b9 JM_51b4 JM_24c7 JM_52b2 JM_66f3 JM_10c8 JM_57c1 JM_8b2

Project description:Aspergillus flavus is a common saprophyte and opportunistic pathogen producing aflatoxin (AF) and many other secondary metabolites. 5-Azacytidine (5-AC), a derivative of nucleoside cytidine, is widely used for studies in epigenetics and cancer biology as an inactivator of DNA methyltransferase and is also used for studying secondary metabolism in fungi. Our previous studies showed that 5-AC affects development and inhibits AF production in A. flavus, and that A. flavus lacks DNA methylation. How this common DNA methyltransferase inhibitor affects development and AF production is not clear. In this study, we applied an RNA-Seq approach to elucidate the mechanism of 5-ACM-bM-^@M-^Ys effect on A. flavus. In our current study, we identified 240 significantly differently expressed (Q-value<0.05) genes after 5-AC treatment, including two backbone genes in secondary metabolite clusters #27 and #35, which are involved in development or survival of sclerotia. With 5-AC treatment, about three quarters of the genes in the AF biosynthetic gene cluster in A. flavus were down-regulated to a certain degree. Strikingly, at least two genes aflI and aflLa, were completely inhibited. Interestingly, several genes involved in fungal development were down-regulated, especially veA, which is a gene that encodes protein bridges VelB and LaeA. This result supports the hypothesis that 5-AC affects development and AF production through weakening or even interrupting the connection between VelB and LaeA and then causing dysregulation of the expression pattern of genes involved in development and secondary metabolism. Our results improved the A. flavus genome annotation, provided a comprehensive view of the transcriptome of A. flavus responding to 5-AC and confirmed that fungal development and secondary metabolism are co-regulated. In additon, the RNA-Seq data of another sample treated with gallic acid was used to improve A. flavus genome annotation. mRNA of Aspergillus flavus cultured in three different culture media PDB, PDB+5-AC(5-Azacytidine),and PDB+GA(gallic acid) was subjected to sequence independently.

Project description:Background: Paracoccidioides is the causative agent of paracoccidioidomycosis, a systemic mycosis endemic to Latin America. Infection is initiated by inhalation of conidia (C) or mycelial (M) fragments, which subsequently differentiate into yeast (Y). Epidemiological studies show a striking predominance of paracoccidioidomycosis in adult men compared to premenopausal women. In vitro and in vivo studies suggest that the female hormone (17M-NM-2-estradiol, E2) regulates or inhibits M-or-C-to-Y transition. In this study we have profiled transcript expression to understand the molecular mechanism of how E2 inhibits M-to-Y transition. Methodology: We assessed temporal gene expression in strain Pb01 in the presence or absence of E2 at various time points through 9 days of the M-to-Y transition using an 11,000 element random-shear genomic DNA microarray and verified the results using quantitative real time-PCR. E2-regulated clones were sequenced to identify genes and biological function. Principal findings: E2-treatment affected gene expression of 550 array elements, with 331 showing up-regulation and 219 showing down-regulation at one or more time points (p M-bM-^IM-$ 0.001). Genes with low expression after 4 or 12 h exposure to E2 belonged to pathways involved in heat shock response (hsp90 and hsp70), energy metabolism, and several retrotransposable elements. Y-related genes, M-NM-1-1,3-glucan synthase, mannosyltransferase and Y20, demonstrated low or delayed expression in E2-treated cultures. Genes potentially involved in signaling, such as palmitoyltransferase (erf2), small GTPase RhoA, phosphatidylinositol-4-kinase, and protein kinase (serine/threonine) showed low expression in the presence of E2, whereas a gene encoding for an arrestin domain-containing protein showed high expression. Genes related to ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation, and oxidative stress response genes were up-regulated by E2. Conclusion: This study characterizes the effect of E2 at the molecular level on the inhibition of the M-to-Y transition and is indicative that the inhibitory actions of E2 may be working through signaling genes that regulate dimorphism. Two-condition experiment, Controls vs. 17M-NM-2-estradiol (E2) treated Paracoccidioides Pb01 cells (at 0, 4, 12 24, 72, 144 or 216 h time points). Biological replicates: 4 controls (2 untreated(C) + 2 ethanol (OH) treated control), 2 (E2)treated at each time points, independently grown and harvested. Two array from each biological samples.

Project description:Mutations in TDP-43 (an RNA binding protein) are known to cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Previously, our group and several other studies showed that TDP-43 binds to several RNA targets in the mammalian CNS. ALS causing mutations in the C-terminal region of TDP-43 that is involved in splicing regulation may lead to aberrant splicing of several RNA transcripts. The main aim of this study is to identify the effect of an ALS causing mutation on the splicing regulation of previously known targets of TDP-43. Mice overexpressing a mutant human TDP-43 (hTDP-43) gene were obtained from The Jackson Laboratory (strain name - B6;CB-Tg(Prnp-TARDBP*A315T) 95Balo/J; Stock no:010700). Mutant hTDP43 was expressed under the control of a prion protein promoter that drives the expression mainly in the mouse CNS and the male transgenic mice developed symptoms around 12 weeks of age while the female mice develop symptoms approximately 20 weeks of age. Therefore, Tg animals that are 50 days old were considered pre-symptomatic and 100 days old (Tg) animals were considered to be in the post-symptomatic stages of the disease for exon array experiments. Age and sex matched pre and post-symptomatic transgenic animals and their wild type littermates were euthanised by cervical dislocation and tissues (brain and spinal cord) were harvested immediately for total RNA isolation experiments (n=3 per group). 200 ng of total RNA from transgenic TDP-43 mice and wild type animals was converted to cDNA and then amplified using the Applause WT-Amp Plus ST kit (NuGEN). Amplified cDNA was then fragmented and biotin labeled using the Encore Biotin Module kit (NuGEN) according to the manufacturer's instruction manual. Labelled cDNA was then hybridised onto Affymetrix GeneChip Exon 1.0 ST arrays in a hybridisation oven at 45 degrees C for 20 hours at 60rpm. After hybridization, washing and staining of the arrays were carried out using Affymetrix fluidics station 450 followed by scanning using GeneChip scanner. GeneChip Command Console Software (AGCC) controlled both the fluidics station and the scanner. CEL files generated by AGCC were uploaded onto Partek software and the data analysis was carried out using the exon array analysis workflow. Exon 1.0 ST arrays contain many more probes, which are classified into three major types based on their source. They are Core, extended and full probe set annotation. Core annotation refers the probe sets that are the most reliable of the three and is derived based on evidences from Refseq and GenBank. Extended annotations refer to probe sets that are generated based on EST sequences, ENSEMBL gene collections and other databases including those used for generating core probe sets. The full annotation refers to probe sets that are purely based on computational predictions. Core probe set annotation, unlike the extended or full annotation excludes the speculative probes reducing the incidence of false positives and was employed for exon array analysis. Alt-splice Anova, a statistical tool available in Partek was used for identifying novel alternative splicing events.
