Project description:Analysis of gene expression in Pseudonocardia dioxanivorans strain CB1190 during growth on THF (tetradhydrofuran) or succinate, and re-analysis of GSE33197 published expression data. Two new treatments, based on carbon/energy source used for growth: THF and succinate. Three previously published treatments (pyruvate, dioxane, and glycolate) from GEO Series GSE33197 were also reanalyzed. Triplicate microarrays (biological replicates) were prepared for each treatment. Gene expression changes were compared directly between the new treatments (THF vs. succinate) and to previously published data during growth on pyruvate (GEO accession numbers GSM821862-GSM821864) in order to yield THF vs. pyruvate and succinate vs. pyruvate contrasts. Included as part of the re-analysis of GSE33197 were data from dioxane and glycolate treatments (GSM821865-GSM821870). The complete dataset representing: (1) the THF- and succinate-treated CB1190 Samples and (2) the pyruvate-, dioxane- and glycolate-treated CB1190 Samples from Series GSE33197 (re-processed using RMA), is linked below as a supplementary file (GSE48814_complete_data.txt).
Project description:Analysis of gene expression in Pseudonocardia dioxanivorans strain CB1190 during growth with dioxane, glycolate or pyruvate. Three treatments, based on carbon source used for growth: pyruvate, dioxane and glycolate. Triplicate microarrays (biological replicates) were prepared for each treatment. Pyruvate was used as the reference treatment for subsequent analysis. Gene expression changes were compared pair-wise: dioxane vs. pyruvate, and glycolate vs. pyruvate
Project description:Mycobacterium dioxanotrophicus PH-06 can degrade 1,4-dioxane (dioxane), which is a groundwater contaminant of emerging concern. In order to find the genes involved in dioxane degradation. RNA sequencing was first used to investigate gene expression levels of PH-06 during growth on two different carbon sources (dioxane and glucose). The sequencing shows that a monooxygenase gene cluster was upregulated when treated with dioxane relative to glucose.
Project description:Pseudonocardia dioxanivorans CB1190 is the first bacterium reported to be capable of growth on the environmental contaminant 1,4-dioxane and the first member of the genus Pseudonocardia for which there is an annotated genome sequence. Preliminary analysis of the genome (chromosome and three plasmids) indicates that strain CB1190 possesses several multicomponent monooxygenases that could be involved in the aerobic degradation of 1,4-dioxane and other environmental contaminants.
Project description:We evaluated liver tissues of B6D2F1/Crl mice exposed to 0, 40, 200, 600, 2000, or 6000 ppm 1,4-dioxane in drinking water for 7, 28, or 90 days in support of an investigation of the mode of action for 1,4-dioxane-induced murine liver tumors. TempO-Seq technology was used to measure global hepatic gene expression. Exposure-induced transcriptional responses increased by dose and exposure duration, with few differentially expressed genes at 40 and 200 ppm regardless of exposure duration. Pathway enrichment analysis identified significant perturbations in pathways associated with xenobiotic metabolism, complement and coagulation cascades and fatty acid metabolism in 600, 2000, and 6000 ppm groups at all timepoints compared to time-matched control groups. A significant transcriptomic proliferative response was only observed in 6000 ppm exposed mice at 90 days. Differential gene expression and pathway enrichment analysis results suggest 600 ppm as a potential threshold concentration for hepatic transcriptomic response to 1,4-dioxane in female mice.
