Project description:Hydrogen peroxide is known to promote skin keratinocyte migration, although the mechanism of action is unclear. In an attempt to identify signaling pathways regulated by hydrogen peroxide in the skin, 3 day post fertilized (dpf) zebrafish larvae (nacre strain) were treated with 3mM hydrogen peroxide for 2 hours and subjected to RNA-seq analyses. Pools of about 1000 embryos for each of three biological replicates were derived from 5 independent mating pairs and raised to larval stages until 3 dpf. All larvae were subsequently homogenized in Trizol and total RNA was extracted using a chloroform extraction protocol treated with DNAse. Messenger RNA (mRNA) was subsequently purified from total RNA using biotin-tagged poly dT oligonucleotides and streptavidin-coated magnetic beads, followed by quality control using an Agilent Technologies 2100 Bioanalyzer (values >7 were used for sequencing). The poly(A)-tailed mRNA samples were fragmented and double-stranded cDNA generated by random priming for deep sequencing studies. 6 samples total were analyzed. 3 untreated, and 3 hydrogen peroxide treated (3mM, 2hr)

Project description:To elucidate the mechanisms underlying epithelial homeostasis, we explored molecules that might serve as M-bM-^@M-^\dangerM-bM-^@M-^] signals in mediating epithelial regeneration with microarray. We hypothesize that soluble factors may have been released from damaged cells to stimulate the proliferation of surviving epithelial cells. In elucidating the mechanism of dying cell-to-surviving cell communication using normal rat kidney NRK-52E epithelial cells, we observed gene expression profiles in these cells after the induction of cell death using hydrogen peroxide. The results demonstrated up-regulation of Interleukin-6, Heme oxygenase-1 and Hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha in dying cells. Global gene expression changes were measured after induction of cell death in NRK-52E cells after incubation with hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide (0, 0.003, 0.006, 0.009% in DMEM) was teated for 1 hour. After wash with PBS, cells were incubated with non-serum DMEM for 12 hours.
Project description:To investigate selectivity of mRNA oxidation, total RNA and oxidized RNA isolated from Neuro 2a cells before and after H2O2 treatment were employed for microarray analysis. It was found that selective oxidation of mRNA already occurs under normal culture conditions but was increased by H2O2, especially in a subset of mRNAs related to certain functions. Moreover, mRNA oxidation level is also related to its abundance or stability (half-life time). This shows for the first time that mRNA oxidation is associated with RNA homeostasis including function, stability and abundance depending on cellular redox status in a genome-wide scale. Neuro 2a cells received hydrogen peroxide treatment or no treatment as a control. Samples were applied for RNA extraction and ARP labeling, which could bind with apurinic/apyrimidinic sites, and then a pull-down process to isolate oxidized RNA. Total RNA and oxidized RNA were used for subsequent transcriptomic profiling. 4 types of samples were analyzed: Basal-total: untreated N2a cells labeled with ARP, but not processed for the pull-down assay. Ox-total: hydrogen peroxide-treated N2a cells labeled with ARP, but not processed for the pull-down assay. Basal-ARP: untreated N2a cells labeled with ARP, and processed for the pull-down assay. ARP-derivatized RNA, which is also oxidized RNA, was concentrated and used for the microarray analysis. Ox-ARP: hydrogen peroxide-treated N2a cells labeled with ARP, and processed for the pull-down assay. ARP-derivatized RNA, which is also oxidized RNA, was concentrated and used for the microarray analysis.
Project description:Oxidative stress caused by Menadione or Hydrogen peroxide in synchronized Saccharomyces cerevisiae cultures. Alpha factor synchronized cultures (0.2-0.4 OD), treated at the beginning of S phase (25 min after release from G1 arrest) with either 2 mM Menadione (MD) or 0.24 mM Hydrogen peroxide (HP), show cell cycle effects. Cells treated with MD arrested at G1. Cells treated with HP delayed at S and then, after removal of HP at 135 minutes , continued the cell cycle, only to arrest at G2/M. Growth was carried out in 30C with shaking (295 rpm). Two time course experiments were performed with each oxidative stress agent, designated as H2O2 and H2O2_II, MD and MD_II. Keywords = oxidative stress Keywords = menadione Keywords = hydrogen peroxide Keywords = time course Keywords = cell cycle Keywords = yeast Keywords: other

Project description:Reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide occur in all aerobically living organisms. Oxidative stress during fermentation can impair the fitness of the production host and the quality of the product. B. pumilus has been described as highly resistant to hydrogen peroxide. The response of exponentially growing B. pumilus cells to hydrogen peroxide was studied.

Project description:Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen that causes multiple infections, including pneumonia, bacteremia, and wound infections. Due to multiple intrinsic and acquired drug-resistance mechanisms, A. baumannii isolates are commonly multi-drug resistant and infections are notoriously difficult to treat. Therefore, it is important to identify mechanisms used by A. baumannii to survive stresses encountered during infection as a means of identifying new drug targets. In this study, we determined the transcriptional response of A. baumannii to hydrogen peroxide stress using RNASequencing. Upon exposure to hydrogen peroxide, A. baumannii differentially transcribes several hundred genes. In this study, we also determined the transcriptional profile of A. baumannii strains with the transcriptional regulators mumR or oxyR genetically inactivated and identified transcriptional differences between these strains and wild-type A. baumannii in response to hydrogen peroxide stress. In doing this, the function of A. baumannii OxyR in hydrogen peroxide stress resistance and regulation of genes required for hydrogen peroxide detoxification was defined. Moreover, the contribution of the uncharacterized regulator MumR to hydrogen peroxide stress resistance was also explored. This work reveals the transcriptome of an important human pathogen in the presence of hydrogen peroxide stress.
