Project description:Monitoring microbial communities can aid in understanding the state of these habitats. Environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques provide efficient and comprehensive monitoring by capturing broader diversity. Besides structural profiling, eDNA methods allow the study of functional profiles, encompassing the genes within the microbial community. In this study, three methodologies were compared for functional profiling of microbial communities in estuarine and coastal sites in the Bay of Biscay. The methodologies included inference from 16S metabarcoding data using Tax4Fun, GeoChip microarrays, and shotgun metagenomics.

Project description:The European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) production has suffered a severe decline in the last decades mostly due to bonamiosis disease. The responsible parasite, Bonamia ostreae, enters the oyster immune-effector cells, the haemocytes, causing their breakage and an acute inflammatory response frequently leading to oyster death. Here, we used an oyster immune-enriched oligo-microarray to understand the haemocyte response to B. ostreae using two different oyster stocks, naïve (NS) and long-term affected (AS), evaluated at three time points, 1 day post-challenge (dpc), 30 dpc and 90 dpc, using five biological replicates per condition. A total of 213 (134 up-, 79 down-regulated) and 538 (330 up-, 208 down-regulated) regulated genes (RGs) were detected in NS and AS stocks, respectively. AS oysters showed a remarkably higher response at 1 dpc when compared to NS (507 vs 86 RGs), while more RGs were found in NS at 90 dpc (127 vs 31 RGs in AS). No RGs were detected at 30 dpc, which suggests some kind of parasite latency during infection. Further, a total of 837 genes resulted differentially expressed (DE) when comparing NS and AS profiles. The stronger response of the AS stock at the early stage might be indicative of the process of selection for resistance. Genes related to extracellular matrix and proteases inhibitors, up-regulated in the AS oysters, and those related to histones, broadly down-regulated in NS, might have an important role during the infection process. A set of 24 candidate genes potentially related to B. ostreae resistance/susceptibility were identified and they should be further validated for selection programmes aimed to control this parasitosis.

Project description:Purpose: To induce hiPS-CMs maturation by using engineering technics, including culturing on the anisotropic pattern, has been widely explored. However, the underlying mechanisms of the benefits driven by the aligned topographic stimuli are still pending. To obtain insights into the underlying molecular pathways/signaling involved in the facilitation of hiPS-CMs maturation driven by specific topographic stimuli, we performed RNA-seq for the hiPS-CMs samples after culturing on the different patterns Methods: hiPS-CMs cultured on the flat bottom 24-well plate (MS-80240; Sumilon)/random nanofiber substrate (NanoECM, 2401; Funakoshi)/aligned nanofiber substrate (NanoAligned, 2402; Funakoshi) for one week. Then the cells were harvested as Flat, Random, Align group samples. Total RNA was extracted using the RNeasy Plus mini kit (740990.250; Takara), the concentration of RNA was measured by using NanoDrop (2000/2000c Spectrophotometers, Thermo Fisher). The Illumina package bcl2fastq software was used for base-calling. The raw reads were mapped to the human reference genome sequences (GRCh38) using TopHat ver. 2.1.1 in combination with Bowtie2 ver. 2.3.4.1 Results: The principal component analysis(PCA) analysis revealed that the hiPS-CMs from flat and random patterns showed the most variance. And the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected with theDESeq2 package, showed that the flat group samples occupied most of the enrichment gene expression. The enriched DEGs termed by Gene Ontology(GO) Biological Process revealed that the upregulated genes in flat group are mainly related to the regulation of cell movement, including extracellular matrix organization, cell adhesion, and cell migration. The well-known cardiac maturation markers such as MYH7 and TNNI3 showed significantly upregulated in align group, as well as cardiac structural(MLC2, TNNT2, GJA1), and calcium handling relevant genes( CASQ2, CAMK2B, CAV3) also showed a higher expression than that of in flat group. The most up-regulated gene sets related pathways in align group include cardiac development and heart morphogenesis, negative regulation of binding, and microtubule-based process. In contrast, the relative down-regulated gene enriched pathways in align group are mostly involved in KRT gene family, which also plays a role in cell movement Conclusions: hiPS-CMs by culturing on the aligned pattern for a short-term have facilitated maturation of hiPS-CMs. The up-regulated gene sets in align group related to regulating cell cycle pathways. The genome-wide expression analysis provided insights into the underlying molecular pathways/signaling involved in the specific topographic stimuli induced maturation of hiPS-CMs

Project description:The shellfish aquaculture industry provides a sustainable food source and jobs for a growing population. Oysters are the primary aquaculture species produced in the United States and account for a significant portion of seafood exports. Shellfish hatcheries have been experiencing frequent mass mortality events over the last couple of decades that occur approximately 10-14 days after oyster settlement. Settlement is a process that shellfish such as oysters undergo in which they transform from a free-swimming pelagic larvae to a sessile juvenile oyster. In order for this energy-intensive process to be successful, the oyster has to undergo behavioral and morphological changes. This is a vulnerable period in the oyster life cycle and conditions need to be such that they aren’t creating added stress. However, due to the oysters’ vulnerability, this is often a time when bacterial infections can occur, which when occurring with environmental conditions that are unfavorable, can prove to be fatal. In order to help oysters survive this process, scientists at the Taylor Shellfish Hatchery in Quilcene, WA has experimented with altering abiotic and biotic factors such as algal diet densities, pH, water flow rate, among others. At this hatchery, Pacific oysters are typically reared at 23˚C, however preliminary research results have suggested that oysters may have a higher survival rate when held at 29˚C during the settlement period. This pilot experiment attempts to identify differences in protein expression between oyster seed held at 23˚C and 29˚C during the settlement period using novel proteomic technology. Our proteomic results, paired with survival data, suggest that holding oyster seed at 29˚C during the settlement period results in higher survival rates.

Project description:Hox and ParaHox genes encode transcription factors with conserved similar expression patterns in divergent animals. The Pdx (Xlox) homeobox gene, for example, is expressed in a sharp spatial domain in the endodermal cell layer of the gut in chordates, echinoderms, annelids and molluscs. The significance of comparable gene expression patterns is unclear because it is not known if downstream transcriptional targets are also conserved. We thus conducted experiments to show that a classic transcriptional target of Pdx1 in vertebrates, the insulin gene, is also a direct target of Pdx in the Pacific oyster. We report that oyster has a diversity of insulin-related genes including one co-expressed with Pdx in the endodermal layer of oyster digestive tissue. Transcriptome analysis reveals functional similarity of this tissue to vertebrate pancreas. Using ATAC-seq we identify a Pdx homeodomain binding site upstream of the endodermally-expressed oyster insulin-related gene and using cell culture demonstrate that oyster Pdx acts as a transcriptional activator through this site. These data argue that a classic homeodomain-target gene interaction dates back to the base of Bilateria.

Project description:Originating from Northeast Asia, the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas has been introduced into a large number of countries for aquaculture purpose. Following introduction, the Pacific oyster has turned into an invasive species in an increasing number of coastal areas, notably in Northern Europe. To explore adaptation on reproductive traits of population considered as invasive, we set up a common garden experiment based on the comparison of progenies from two populations of Pacific oyster sampled in France and Denmark. A female-biased sex-ratio and a higher condition index were observed in the Danish progeny, possibly reflecting an evolutionary reproductive strategy to increase the potential success of natural recruitment in recently settled population. Using multifarious statistical approaches and accounting for sex differences we identified several genes differentially expressed between the Danish and French progenies, and with an intermediate expression level in hybrids (additive behavior). Candidate transcripts included mRNA coding for sperm quality and insulin metabolism known to be implicated in coordinated control of reproduction. Our results suggest adaptation of invasive populations during expansion acting on reproductive traits, and in particular on a female-biased sex-ratio, fertility and gamete quality. A common garden experiment was performed in order to compare progenies from two populations of Pacific oyster sampled in France and Denmark and their hybrids. Progenies were reared under standard hatchery and nursery conditions until gonadal maturation. The employed arrays were Agilent 60-mer 4x44K custom microarrays, containing 31,918 C. gigas ESTs, designed by Dheilly et al. (2011).

Project description:The systematic deep sequencing analysis provided a comprehensive understanding of the transcriptome complexity of 2n and 3n Fujian oyster. This information broadens our understanding of the mechanisms of C.angulata polyploidization and contributes to molecular and genetic research by enriching the oyster database. This is the first report on genome-wide transcriptional analysis of adductor muscle of diploid and triploid Fujian oyster and has demonstrated triploid oysters are morphologically almost identical to their diploid counterparts, but have faster growth, due to the reorientation of energetic allocation from gametogenesis to somatic investment. This study provides a foundation for further analysis of the gene expression patterns and signaling pathways which regulate the molecular mechanisms of diploid and triploid oyster.
