Project description:Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular pathways. The goals of this study are to compare transcriptome profiling of control of C. albicans ATCC 10231 (RNA-seq) to transcriptome profiling of garlic oil-treated C. albicans ATCC 10231 and to evaluate protocols for optimal high-throughput data analysis Methods:SDB medium, C. albicans cells and garlic oil were added to two separate 50 mL conical flasks. The initial cell concentrations in culture were both 105 CFU/mL. The cultures were incubated in a water bath shaker at 28 ºC with shaking at 150 rpm for 12 h. Garlic oil or PBS buffer were then added to the cultures to make the concentrations of garlic oil arrived at 0 (control) and 1.25 ?l/mL, respectively. The cultures were continuously incubated at the same conditions for 5 h. The cells were then sampled and centrifuged. The cell precipitates in the control and 1.25 ?l/mL garlic oil groups were quickly separately frozen at -80 ºC. Then total RNA were repared from the cell pellets. Results:The RNA sequencing results showed that many genes in C. albicans exposed to garlic oil were differentially expressed. Nearly three thousand genes were differentially expressed, with either an increase or decrease of more than twofold. Most of them were down regulated while a small number were upregulated. Conclusions: Our study indicated that garlic oil induced differential expression of some critical genes, such as genes for cellular response to drugs, oxidation-reduction processes, pathogenesis, and the cellular response to starvation. Moreover, the differentially expressed genes were mainly clustered in 19 KEGG pathways, such as oxidative phosphorylation, spliceosome, cell cycle, protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum, pyrimidine metabolism, meiosis, RNA transport, ribosome biogenesis, and RNA degradation. The mRNA profiles of C. albicans ATCC 10231 (ck) and garlic oil-treated C. albicans ATCC 10231 (sample1) were generated by deep sequencing, in one time, using Illumina Higseq 2500.
Project description:The garlic landrace of ‘Chalingzipisuan’ was used for transcriptome analysis. The axillary bud of garlic is at the base of clove, whereas the storage leaf at the upper clove provides essential nutrition for the germination and seedling growth. Therefore, the basal and storage clove were ere separately performed for RNA sequencing from the bulbs under three different developmental stages (i.e., enlarging growth, dormancy, and germination), generating in total 77-85 million reads.

Project description:Garlic is a popular flavor enhancer in modern cuisines. Although anti-atherosclerotic, anti-proliferative, hypolipidemic and chemopreventative effects of garlic are known for a long time, the mechanisms of garlic as a dietary supplement ramain largely unknown. We used microarrays to analyze the global programme of gene expression in control (cellulose) and garlic-fed mice and identified erythropoietic and heme biosynthetic genes that could, in part, be responsible for the pleiotropic effects of garlic on health Keywords: diet, garlic
Project description:To explore the influence of virus-accumulation on garlic growth, we produced a virus-free garlic using the landrace “Chalingzipisuan” with great accumulation of viruses, based on the shoot-tip culture. Then, using the viruses-accumulated garlic and corresponding virus-free garlic, we performed a transcriptomic investigation for the enlarging-growth bulbs, and identified 1,182 garlic genes with differential expression, suggesting these genes involved in the response to viruses-infection
Project description:A total of 102 garlic accession were performed for mRNA sequencing, and then were used for scoring the variations in both gene sequence (SNPs) and expression (GE) in this population. Thereafter, SNPs and GE are used for carrying out association analysis with the phenotype of shape of garlic clove, respectively, which comes to a joint decision for the candidate genes that are involved in trait. In addition, SNPs and GE data is used as genotype and phenotype, respectively, for performing eQTL analysis to ascertain the interaction among trait-controlled genes, which finally brings a regulatory network for the shape of garlic clove.

We used microarrays to analyze the global programme of gene expression in control (cellulose) and garlic-fed mice and identified erythropoietic and heme biosynthetic genes that could, in part, be responsible for the pleiotropic effects of garlic on health Experiment Overall Design: 8-week old male C57BL/6J mice were divided into two diet groups and maintained at an SPF facility. Mice were fed (ad libitum) a special diet (Yeh and Yeh, 1994) with 4% cellulose (Control group, 3 mice) or 4% lyophilized raw garlic powder (Treatment group, 3 mice). At the end of the 15-week treatment, spleen organs were used for RNA isolation and arraying.

We used microarrays to analyze the global programme of gene expression in control (cellulose) and garlic-fed C57BL/6J mice serendipitously infected with Pasteurella multocida and identified acute phase response genes, particularly Lcn2 and Orm2, as the major players in the innate response. Also dieraty garlic suppressed pasteurella infection in C57BL/6J mice.
