Project description:To investigate the contribution of parental genomes to early embryogenesis, we systematically profiled the single-cell transcriptomes of human biparental and uniparental embryos from one-cell to morula stages. We observed that uniparental embryos exhibit variable and overall less activation patterns of embryonic genome activation (EGA). Comparative transcriptome analysis identified 807 maternally biased expressed genes (MBGs) and 581 paternally biased expressed genes (PBGs) in preimplantation stages. MBGs became obviously appeared at the four-cell stage and contribute to EGA initiation, whereas PBGs preferentially appeared at the eight-cell stage, and possibly affect embryo compaction and trophectoderm specification. Regulatory network analysis revealed DUX4, EGR2 and DUXA as key transcription factors for MBGs expression as well as ZNF263 and KLF3 for PBGs expression. Furthermore, we revealed that the expression of MBGs and PBGs，especially PBGs, probably due to DNA methylation differences between the parental genomes. Together, our results provide a valuable resource to understand parental genome activation and may help to dissect parent-of-origin effect on early human development.

Project description:To effectively monitor microbial populations in acidic environments and bioleaching systems, a comprehensive 50-mer-based oligonucleotide microarray was developed based on most of the known genes associated with the acidophiles. This array contained 1,072 probes in which there were 571 related to 16S rRNA and 501 related to functional genes. Acid mine drainage (AMD) presents numerous problems to the aquatic life and surrounding ecosystems. However, little is known about the geographic distribution, diversity, composition, structure and function of AMD microbial communities. In this study, we analyzed the geographic distribution of AMD microbial communities from twenty sites using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of 16S rRNA genes, and the results showed that AMD microbial communities were geographically distributed and had high variations among different sites. Then an AMD-specific microarray was used to further analyze nine AMD microbial communities, and showed that those nine AMD microbial communities had high variations measured by the number of detected genes, overlapping genes between samples, unique genes, and diversity indices. Statistical analyses indicated that the concentrations of Fe, S, Ca, Mg, Zn, Cu and pH had strong impacts on both phylogenetic and functional diversity, composition, and structure of AMD microbial communities. This study provides insights into our understanding of the geographic distribution, diversity, composition, structure and functional potential of AMD microbial communities and key environmental factors shaping them. This study investigated the geographic distribution of Acid Mine Drainages microbial communities using a 16S rRNA gene-based RFLP method and the diversity, composition and structure of AMD microbial communities phylogenetically and functionally using an AMD-specific microarray which contained 1,072 probes ( 571 related to 16S rRNA and 501 related to functional genes). The functional genes in the microarray were involved in carbon metabolism (158), nitrogen metabolism (72), sulfur metabolism (39), iron metabolism (68), DNA replication and repair (97), metal-resistance (27), membrane-relate gene (16), transposon (13) and IST sequence (11).

Project description:Background & Aims: Patients with beta-catenin (encoded by CTNNB1)-mutated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have demonstrated limited clinical benefit to first-line immunotherapy (IO). Animal models of HCC expressing mutant-beta-catenin and additional aberrations via hydrodynamic tail vein injection with sleeping beauty transposon/transposase (SB-HDTVI) represent clinically relevant human HCC subsets. Here, we perform transcriptomic analysis on multiple beta-catenin-mutated and non-mutated HCC animal models to identify Mutated beta-catenin Gene Signature (MBGS) for HCC patient stratification for CTNNB1-mutations and IO response. Methods: We co-expressed in mice mutant-NFE2L2 and hMET +- mutant-CTNNB1 via SB-HDTVI and monitored for HCC development. Bulk RNA-sequencing was assessed for transcriptional differences between various beta-catenin-mutated and non-mutated models. MBGS was generated for predictive ability of CTNNB1 mutations and IO resistance in multiple HCC patient cohorts. Results: Co-expression of S45Y-beta-catenin + G31A-NFE2L2 + hMet (beta-N-M) resulted in HCC development by 4.5 weeks while co-expression of G31A-NFE2L2 + hMet (N-M) led to HCC by 14 weeks with tumors being positive for expected targets by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Bulk RNA-sequencing comparing beta-catenin-driven versus non-beta-catenin driven models yielded 95 common upregulated genes. Differential gene expression analysis of the common genes comparing CTNNB1-mutated vs non-mutated TCGA patients narrowed the gene panel to 13-(or 10-) genes. This MBGS predicted CTNNB1-mutation status in TCGA (n=374) and French (n=398) patient cohorts (with ROC AUC of 0.90 and 0.94). High MBGS expression was also associated with no overall and progression-free survival benefit when comparing atezolizumab + bevacizumab versus sorafenib arms in IMbrave150 cohort implying fewer treatment effects. Conclusions: In an era of patient molecular stratification for HCC, MBGS may aid in optimally selecting patients for IO through diagnosis of a molecular subset which lacks optimal response.

Project description:Xiangjiang River (Hunan, China) has been contaminated with heavy metal for several decades by surrounding factories. However, little is known about the influence of a gradient of heavy metal contamination on the diversity, structure of microbial functional gene in sediment. To deeply understand the impact of heavy metal contamination on microbial community, a comprehensive functional gene array (GeoChip 5.0) has been used to study the functional genes structure, composition, diversity and metabolic potential of microbial community from three heavy metal polluted sites of Xiangjiang River. Three groups of samples, A, B and C. Every group has 3 replicates.

Project description:Samples of oil and production water were collected from five wells of the Qinghai Oilfield, China, and subjected to GeoChip hybridization experiments for microbial functional diversity profiling. Unexpectedly, a remarkable microbial diversity in oil samples, which was higher than that in the corresponding water samples, was observed, thus challenging previously believed assumptions about the microbial diversity in this ecosystem. Hierarchical clustering separated oil and water samples, thereby indicating distinct functional structures in the samples. Genes involved in the degradation of hydrocarbons, organic remediation, stress response, and carbon cycling were significantly abundant in crude oil, which is consistent with their important roles in residing in oil. Association analysis with environmental variables suggested that oil components comprising aromatic hydrocarbons, aliphatic hydrocarbons, and a polar fraction with nitrogen-, sulfur-, and oxygen-containing compounds were mainly influential on the structure of the microbial community. Furthermore, a comparison of microbial communities in oil samples indicated that the structures were depth/temperature-dependent. To our knowledge, this is the first thorough study to profile microbial functional diversity in crude oil samples. From the Qinghai Oilfield located in the Tibetan Plateau, northwest China, oil production mixtures were taken from four oil production wells (No. 813, 516, 48 and 27) and one injection well (No. 517) in the Yue-II block. The floating oil and water phases of the production mixtures were separated overnight by gravitational separation. Subsequently, the microbial community and the characteristics of the water solution (W813, W516, W48, and W27) and floating crude oil (O813, O516, O48, and O27) samples were analyzed. A similar analysis was performed with the injection water solution (W517).
