Project description:Energy densification and enrichment of monounsaturated fatty acids increases oat’s nutritional value among small grain cereals. However, optimization of oat oil traits is challenging through conventional breeding. Using the biolistic method for oat’s oil improvement, here we showed that metabolic engineering is a feasible strategy in improving the oil traits of oat. In this study, two constructs containing three genes involved in lipid biosynthesis pathway (AtWRI1, AtDGAT, and SiOLEOSIN) were transformed into oat cultivar ‘Park’ to enhance the oil composition and content in oat grain and leaves. We performed RNA-sequencing in mature seeds and boot leaves of trasngenic lines. Transgene expression contributed to a global transcriptional reprogramming in oat seeds and leaves. Endogenous DGAT, WRI1, and OLEOSIN genes were up regulated while the genes involved in fatty acid biosynthesis expressed in opposite way between oat seeds and leaves. Transcriptomic studies revealed differential gene expression mainly enriched in lipid metabolism.

Project description:Oil spills have polluted the marine environment for decades and continue to be a major source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to marine ecosystems around the globe. Although the toxicity of PAHs to fish has been well studied, the combined effects of extreme abiotic factors and oil are poorly understood. Gulf of Mexico killifish Fundulus grandis larvae (< 24 hours post hatch) were exposed to varying environmental conditions (dissolved oxygen 2, 6 ppm; temperature 20, 25, 30°C; and salinity 3, 10, 30 ppt) combined with varying concentrations of high energy water accommodated fractions (HEWAF) (total PAHs 0 – ~ 125 ppb) for a total of 48 h. Larvae survival and development were negatively affected by PAHs, starting with the lowest concentration tested (~15 ppb). High temperature + hypoxia + PAHs resulted in the lowest survival with salinity having little impact on any of the endpoints tested. Expression of the hepatic detoxifying gene cyp1a was highly induced in PAH-exposed larvae, but only under normoxic conditions. A lack of cyp1a induction under hypoxia and PAH exposure could explain the enhanced toxicity observed. This work highlights the need for more studies examining the combined impact of suboptimal water quality parameters in the presence of pollution in fish early life-stages.

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) cells have a distinct dependence on de novo ornithine synthesis from glutamine via ornithine aminotransferase (OAT), which supports polyamine synthesis and is required for tumor growth. This directional OAT activity is normally largely restricted to infancy and contrasts with the reliance of most adult normal tissues and other cancer types on arginase (ARG) to generate arginine-derived ornithine, the substrate for polyamine synthesis. This dependence associates with arginine depletion in PDA tumor microenvironment, and is driven by mutant KRAS, which induces the expression of OAT and polyamine synthesis enzymes, including the rate-limiting enzyme ornithine decarboxylase-1 (ODC1). Loss of OAT, but not ARG2, largely mimics loss of ODC1, altering the transcriptional profiles in PDA cells, which in turn correlate with alterations in open chromatin states.

Project description:Transcriptome analysis plays a central role in elucidating the complexity of gene expression regulation in Escherichia coli. By analyzing the transcriptomics of E. coli treated with water, acetone, and Cinnamomum camphora essential oil, the inhibitory mechanism of the essential oil on the human intestinal microbe was studied. The results showed that the inhibitory effect of the essential oil on E. coli increased with an increase in concentration; 1/4 minimum inhibitory concentration was the reaction equilibrium point. RNAseq transcriptomic comparison indicated that the essential oil inhibited the growth of E. coli by inhibiting the metabolism, chemotaxis, and some resistance reactions of them, while E. coli maintained its life activities by enhancing its resistance reactions. These results are of great importance to the study of the medical use of C. camphor essential oil and gene regulation in E. coli under stress conditions.

Project description:Fish oil, olive oil, and coconut oil dietary supplementation have several cardioprotective benefits, but it is not established if they can protect against air pollution-induced adverse effects. We hypothesized that these dietary supplements would attenuate ozone-induced systemic and pulmonary effects. Male Wistar Kyoto rats were fed either a normal diet, or a diet enriched with fish, olive, or coconut oil starting at 4 weeks of age for 8 weeks. Animals were then exposed to air or ozone (0.8 ppm), 4h/day for 2 consecutive days. The fish oil diet completely abolished phenylephrine-induced vasoconstriction that was increased following ozone exposure in the animals fed all other diets. Only the fish oil diet increased baseline levels of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) markers of lung injury and inflammation. Ozone-induced pulmonary injury/inflammation were comparable in rats on normal, coconut oil, and olive oil diets with altered expression of markers in animals fed the fish oil diet. Fish oil, regardless of exposure, led to enlarged, foamy macrophages in the BALF that coincided with decreased mRNA expression of cholesterol transporters, cholesterol receptors, and nuclear receptors in the lung. Serum miRNA profile was assessed using small RNA-sequencing in normal and fish oil groups and demonstrated marked depletion of a variety of miRNAs, several of which were of splenic origin. No ozone-specific changes were noted. Collectively, these data indicate that while fish oil offered protection from ozone-induced aortic vasoconstriction, it increased pulmonary injury/inflammation and impaired lipid transport mechanisms resulting in foamy macrophage accumulation, demonstrating the need to be cognizant of potential off-target pulmonary effects that might offset the overall benefit of this vasoprotective dietary supplement.
