Project description:Pepper(Capsicum annuum L.) fruit development is a complex and genetically programmed process, a comparative study of transcriptome and proteome changes during two varieties of pepper development(IMG, MG, Br and MR) has been carried out by using RNA-Seq and Lable-free quantitation technology.
Project description:Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a class of class of phytohormones with important roles in regulating physiological and developmental processes. Small RNAs, including small interfering RNAs and microRNAs (miRNAs), are non-protein coding RNAs that regulate gene expression at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. However, the roles of small RNAs in BR response have not been studied well. In this study, we aimed to identify BR-responsive small RNA clusters and miRNAs in Arabidopsis. In addition, the effect of BR-responsive small RNAs on their transcripts and target genes were examined. Small RNA libraries were constructed from control and epibrassinolide-treated seedlings. After sequencing the small RNA libraries, differentially expressed small RNA clusters were identified by examining the expression levels of small RNAs in 100-nt bins of Arabidopsis genome. To identify the BR-responsive miRNAs, the expression levels of all the annotated mature miRNAs, registered in miRBase, were analyzed. Previously published RNA-seq data were utilized to monitor the BR-responsive expression patterns of differentially expressed small RNA clusters and miRNA target genes. In results, 38 BR-responsive small RNA clusters, including 30 down-regulated and eight up-regulated clusters, were identified. These differentially expressed small RNA clusters were from miRNA loci, transposons, protein-coding genes, pseudo genes and others. Of these, a transgene, BRI1, accumulates small RNAs, which are not found in the wild type. Small RNAs in this transgene are up-regulated by BRs while BRI1 mRNA is down-regulated by BRs. By analyzing the expression patterns of mature miRNAs, we have identified BR-repressed miR398a-5p and BR-induced miR156g. Although miR398a-5p is down-regulated by BRs, its predicted targets were not responsive to BRs. However, SPL3, a target of BR-inducible miR156g, is down-regulated by BRs. BR-responsive small RNAs and miRNAs identified in this study will provide an insight into the role of small RNAs in BR responses in plants. Especially, we suggest that miR156g/SPL3 module might play a role in BR-mediated growth and development in Arabidopsis.

Project description:RNA-seq of grapes: BR treatment
Project description:BR-body mutant strains were globally profiled for mRNA half-lives using rifampicin treatment followed by RNA-seq. JS38 (wild type) was compared to JS221 (lacking the intrinsically disordered CTD and unable to form BR-bodies), JS233 (unable to recruit degradosome components into BR-bodies), and JS299 (active site mutant of RNase E).
Project description:Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common and aggressive type of brain cancer. Little is known about the complex relationship between genomic and epigenomic as tumour progresses. We present the following base resolution whole genome maps of matched tumour/margin and blood samples from a glioblastoma multiforme patient:<br>* Single nucleotide variations (SNVs), copy number variations (CNVs) and structural variations (SVs) as revealed by DNA sequencing. </br> <br>* 5-methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine levels obtained using (oxidative)bisulfite sequencing. </br> <br>* Transcript levels produced using RNA sequencing.</br> <br>For the three samples with very large bam raw data files ('Blood DNA-seq', 'Margin DNA-seq' and 'Tumour DNA-seq'), bai index files are available from https://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/files/E-MTAB-5171/E-MTAB-5171.additional.1.zip
Project description:Brassinosteroids (BRs) are growth-promoting steroid hormones in plants. BRs affect plant growth by regulating panels of downstream genes. Much effort has been made to establish BR-regulated gene expression networks, but these published expression networks poorly overlap. To address this, here we build an optimal BR-regulated gene expression network. 7- and 24-day-old seedlings of constitutive photomorphogenesis and dwarfism (cpd) mutant and bri1-701 (brassinosteroid-insensitive 1) brl1 (BRI1-like receptor genes 1) brl3 (BRI1-like receptor genes 3) triple mutant seedlings were treated with brassinolide (BL), and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to detect differentially expressed genes (DEGs). By this approach, we generated a transcriptomic database of 4498 DEGs and identified 110 transcription factors specifically respond to BR at different stage. Moreover, we found that among the identified BR-responsive transcription factors, ABSCISIC ACID-INSENSlTIVE4 (ABI4), an ethylene response factor (ERF) transcription factor, inhibits BR-regulated growth. Compared to wild-type plants, the abi4-102 mutant was less sensitive to brassinazole (BRZ) and more sensitive to BR. Next, we performed a chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) assay and found that ABI4 directly binds to the BAK1 (BRI1 Associated receptor Kinase 1) promoter and inhibits transcription. These results provide new insights into BR-responsive gene functions in regulating plant growth at different stages and may serve as a basis for predicting gene function, selecting candidate genes, and improving the understanding of BR regulatory pathways.
Project description:The first GSSM of V. vinifera was reconstructed (MODEL2408120001). Tissue-specific models for stem, leaf, and berry of the Cabernet Sauvignon cultivar were generated from the original model, through the integration of RNA-Seq data. These models have been merged into diel multi-tissue models to study the interactions between tissues at light and dark phases.
Project description:Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) is a widely consumed probiotic whose potential beneficial effects in humans have been examined in over 250 clinical trials. However, the mechanisms by which LGG modulates host gut physiology remains unknown. R. gnavus is a pathobiont that is strongly associated with inflammatory bowel diseases. Germ free mice were mono-associated with L. rhamonosus (LGG) or R. gnavus (RG) for 21 days, ileum bulk RNA-seq were performed to compare the transcriptomic profiles of LGG or RG associated mice with the transcriptome of germ-free mouse ileum.
Project description:The malignancy of colorectal cancer is connected with inflammation, which poses great therapeutic challenges. To integratetherapeutic targets with anti-inflammation strategy, wedeveloped a biocompatible, non-covalent channel-type nanoparticles that was fabricated through host-guest complexation and multiple assemble of mannose-modified ?-cyclodextrin (M-?-CD) with Regorafenib (RG), denoted as RG@M-?-CD. For in vivo application, the channel-type formulation optimized the pharmacokinetics and bio-distribution of RG. In colitis-associated cancer (CAC) and CT26 models, RG@M-?-CD was proven to be a targeted, safe and effective anti-tumor nanomedicine that suppressed tumor cells proliferation, lesioned neovascularization, and attanuated inflammation. To investigate the therapeutic mechanism of RG@M-?-CD nanomedicine, small pieces of colon tissue with tumors from control group and treatment group were used to perform the microarray for gene expression anaylsis. The RGnanomedicine is constructed through the host-guest assemble between mannose-modified ?-cyclodextrin (M-?-CD) and TKI Regorafenib (RG). With multiple assemble, the host-guest system is transformed into nanoparticle, denoted as RG@M-?-CD (or RG nanomedicine).
