Project description:Yeast form complex highly organized colonies in which cells undergo spatiotemporal phenotypic differentiation in response to local gradients of nutrients, metabolites, and specific signaling molecules. Colony fitness depends on cell interactions, cooperation, and the division of labor between differentiated cell subpopulations. Here, we describe the regulation and dynamics of the expansion of papillae that arise during colony aging, which consist of cells that overcome colony regulatory rules and disrupt the synchronized colony structure. We show that papillae specifically expand within the U cell subpopulation in differentiated colonies. Papillae emerge more frequently in some strains than in others. Genomic analyses further revealed that the Whi2p-Psr1p/Psr2p complex (WPPC) plays a key role in papillae expansion. We show that cells lacking a functional WPPC have a sizable interaction-specific fitness advantage attributable to production of and resistance to a diffusible compound that inhibits growth of other cells. Competitive superiority and high relative fitness of whi2 and psr1psr2 strains are particularly pronounced in dense spatially structured colonies and are independent of TORC1 and Msn2p/Msn4p regulators previously associated with the WPPC function. The WPPC function, described here, might be a regulatory mechanism that balances cell competition and cooperation in dense yeast populations and, thus, contributes to cell synchronization, pattern formation, and the expansion of cells with a competitive fitness advantage.

Project description:H2AX has been characterized as a novel tumor suppressor protein. Difficiency of H2AX will result in apoptotic inhibition of cancer cells. However, how H2AX epigenetically regulates apoptosis of cancer cells is still unclear. To reveal the genes expression regulated by H2AX and involved in apoptosis, the microarray profiling analysis was employed to identify differentially expressed genes in H2AX knockdown lung cancer cells and control ones after apoptotic induction. H2AX was knockdown by miRNA interfering system in human lung cancer originated cell A549 and the stable cell line named P1, while the control stable cell line named C. Genes with greater than 1.2-fold change and P-value ï¼0.05 were identified as differentially expressed genes between C and P1 cells both with apoptosis induction. The two groups including control (C) and H2AX knockdown lung cancer cells (P1) were harvested 48 h after VP-16 treatment. Three independent experiments were performed for each group.

Project description:To determine which of the genes differentially expressed between P1-rr and P1-ww pericarps were immediate (direct) targets of P1, we conducted chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-Seq) using P1 polyclonal antibodies (alphaP1344) that recognize the non-conserved C-terminal region of P1 (Falcone Ferreyra et al., 2010), on pericarp chromatin. Comparison of pericarp chromatin inmunoprecipitated material P-rr_14DAP (P1 expressed) vs P-ww_14DAP (P1 not expressed) to determine P1 direct targets

Project description:Bacteria can secrete a wide array of antibacterial compounds when competing with other bacteria for the same resources. Some of these compounds, such as bacteriocins, can affect bacteria of similar or closely related strains. In some cases, these secretions have been found to kill sibling cells that belong to the same colony. Here, we present experimental observations of competition between 2 sibling colonies of Paenibacillus dendritiformis grown on a low-nutrient agar gel. We find that neighboring colonies (growing from droplet inoculation) mutually inhibit growth through secretions that become lethal if the level exceeds a well-defined threshold. In contrast, within a single colony developing from a droplet inoculation, no growth inhibition is observed. However, growth inhibition and cell death are observed if material extracted from the agar between 2 growing colonies is introduced outside a growing single colony. To interpret the observations, we devised a simple mathematical model for the secretion of an antibacterial compound. Simulations of this model illustrate how secretions from neighboring colonies can be deadly, whereas secretions from a single colony growing from a droplet are not.

Project description:P1 encodes an R2R3-MYB transcription factor responsible for the accumulation of insecticidal flavones in maize silks and red phlobaphene pigments in pericarps and other floral tissues, which contributed to making P1 an important visual marker since the dawn of modern genetics. We conducted RNA-Seq using from maize silks obtained at 2-3 days after emergence. High-throughput sequencing using the Illumina platform resulted in the generation of ~14 million high quality reads, corresponding to ~7 million reads for each sample, from which 76% aligned to the maize genome.

We conducted RNA-Seq using pericarps at two different stages, 14 and 25 days after pollination (DAP). High-throughput sequencing using the Illumina platform resulted in the generation of ~20 million high quality reads, from which ~90% aligned to the recently completed maize genome sequence corresponding to ~5 million reads for each one of the four samples.

Project description:Bacteria commonly live in dense and genetically diverse communities associated with surfaces. In these communities, competition for resources and space is intense, and yet we understand little of how this affects the spread of antibiotic-resistant strains. Here, we study interactions between antibiotic-resistant and susceptible strains using in vitro competition experiments in the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa and in silico simulations. Selection for intracellular resistance to streptomycin is very strong in colonies, such that resistance is favoured at very low antibiotic doses. In contrast, selection for extracellular resistance to carbenicillin is weak in colonies, and high doses of antibiotic are required to select for resistance. Manipulating the density and spatial structure of colonies reveals that this difference is partly explained by the fact that the local degradation of carbenicillin by β-lactamase-secreting cells protects neighbouring sensitive cells from carbenicillin. In addition, we discover a second unexpected effect: the inducible elongation of cells in response to carbenicillin allows sensitive cells to better compete for the rapidly growing colony edge. These combined effects mean that antibiotic treatment can select against antibiotic-resistant strains, raising the possibility of treatment regimes that suppress sensitive strains while limiting the rise of antibiotic resistance. We argue that the detailed study of bacterial interactions will be fundamental to understanding and overcoming antibiotic resistance.

Project description:Current theories attribute aging to a failure of selection, due to either pleiotropic constraints or declining strength of selection after the onset of reproduction. These theories implicitly leave open the possibility that if senescence-causing alleles could be identified, or if antagonistic pleiotropy could be broken, the effects of aging might be ameliorated or delayed indefinitely. These theories are built on models of selection between multicellular organisms, but a full understanding of aging also requires examining the role of somatic selection within an organism. Selection between somatic cells (i.e., intercellular competition) can delay aging by purging nonfunctioning cells. However, the fitness of a multicellular organism depends not just on how functional its individual cells are but also on how well cells work together. While intercellular competition weeds out nonfunctional cells, it may also select for cells that do not cooperate. Thus, intercellular competition creates an inescapable double bind that makes aging inevitable in multicellular organisms.
