Project description:Transcriptional profiling of C. elegans young adult worms exposed to pathogen Bacillus thuringiensis DB27 for 4 hours versus age-matched worms exposed to onctrol lab food E. coli OP50. The goal was to identify genes regulated in response to pathogen. The broader goal of study was to study evolution of pathogen response by comparing this expression profile to that obtained by exposing the nematode Pristionchus pacificus to the same pathogen. Other experiments which are a part of this study include expression profiling of C. elegans and P. pacificus on other pathogens including Staphylococcus aureus, Serratia marcescens, Xenorhabdus nematophila. Keywords: Expression profiling by array One-condition experiments. C. elegans young adults: Exposed to Bacillus thuringiensis DB27 versus exposed to E. coli OP50 : 4 hours. 3 biological replicates for each condition, including 1 dye-swap.

Project description:Transcriptome of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans infected by Bacillus thuringiensis
| PRJNA561143 | ENA
Project description:The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans feeds on microbes in its natural environment. Some of these microbes are pathogenic and thus harmful to C. elegans. To minimize resulting fitness reductions, C. elegans has evolved various defence mechanisms including behavioural responses (e.g. avoidance behaviour) that reduce contact with the infectious microbes. In this study, we characterized the genetic architecture of natural variation in C. elegans avoidance behaviour against the infectious stages of the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis. We performed an analysis of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) using recombinant inbred lines (RILs) and introgression lines (ILs) generated from a cross of two genetically as well as phenotypically distinct natural isolates N2 and CB4856. The analysis identified several QTLs that underlie variation in the behavioural response to pathogenic and/or non-pathogenic bacteria. One of the candidates is the npr-1 gene. This gene encodes a homolog of the mammalian neuropeptide receptor. Npr-1 was previously indicated to fully contribute to behavioural defence against the Gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa and food patch-leaving behaviour on Escherichia coli. Interestingly, in our study, npr-1 is not the only gene mediating avoidance behaviour toward Bacillus thuringiensis. Moreover, our functional analyses show that npr-1 alleles appear to influence survival and avoidance behaviour toward Bacillus thuringiensis in exactly the opposite way than toward Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Our findings highlight the role of npr-1 in fine-tuning nematode behaviour in an ecological context depending on the microbe to which C. elegans is exposed. These opposite phenotypes reflect the diversity in innate immunity to pathogens. To understand the mechanism involved in these opposite phenotypes, we carried out a whole-genome transcriptomics study by RNA-Sequencing. This study includes two pathogens: Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14 and Bacillus thuringiensis B-18247 (BT247), two strains: N2 and npr-1 (ur89), two time points (12 and 24h) and standard lab food E. coli OP50 as control. mRNA profiles of wild type (WT) and npr-1 (ur89) C.elegans exposed to either Bacillus thuringiensis B-18247, Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14 or standard lab food E. coli OP50 at 12h or 24h were generated by deep sequencing, in double or triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq2000.

Project description:microRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA-molecules that influence translation by binding to the target gene mRNA. Many miRNAs are found in nested arrangements within introns, or exons, of larger protein-coding host genes. miRNAs and host genes in a nested arrangement are often transcribed simultaneously, which may indicate that both have similar functions. miRNAs have been implicated in regulating defense responses against pathogen infection in C. elegans and in mammals. Here, we asked if miRNAs in nested arrangements and their host genes are involved in the C. elegans response against infection with Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). We performed miRNA sequencing and functional genetic analysis of miRNA and/or host gene in four nested arrangements. We identified mir-58.1 and mir-2 as negative regulators of C. elegans resistance to Bt infection. However, we did not find any miRNA/host gene pair in which both contribute to defense against Bt.

Project description:To determine Sigma 54 (SigL) reglons in Bacillus thuringiensis HD73 strain, A sigLmutant, HD(ΔsigL::kan), was constructed with insertion of kanamycin resistance gene cassete. We have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify the difference of gene expression between mutant and wild-type strains.
