Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series:; GSE3783: Trichostatin A (TSA) inhibition of histone deacetylase in Arabiodopsis thaliana; GSE3784: Seed germination in presence and absence of histone deaceatylase inhibitor, Trichostain A (TSA). Histone acetylation is involved in the regulation of gene expression in plants and eukaryotes. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are enzymes that catalyze the removal of acetyl groups from histones, which is associated with the repression of gene expression. To study the role of histone acetylation in the regulation of gene expression during seed germination, trichostatin A (TSA), a specific inhibitor of histone deacetylase, was used to treat imbibing Arabidopsis thaliana seeds. GeneChip arrays were used to show that TSA induces up-regulation of 45 genes and down-regulation of 27 genes during seed germination. Eight TSA-up-regulated genes were selected for further analysis - RAB18, RD29B, ATEM1, HSP70 and four late embryogenesis abundant protein genes (LEA). A gene expression time course shows that these eight genes are expressed at high levels in the dry seed and repressed upon seed imbibition at an exponential rate. In the presence of TSA, the onset of repression of the eight genes is not affected but the final level of repressed expression is elevated. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and HDAC assays show that there is a transient histone deacetylation event during seed germination at one day after imbibition, which serves as a key developmental signal that affects the repression of the eight genes. Experiment Overall Design: Refer to individual Series

Project description:Western Blot showed that epigenetic control of the mouth dimorphism in P. pacificus correlates with histone 4 acetylation. This result was validated by mass spectrometry. This experiment profiled histone acetylation in the presence and absence of the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor Trichostatin A (TSA). Histone acetylation was also examined in the presence of another HDAC inhibitor (Na-butyrate), which served as an additional negative control because unlike TSA, it did not induce a phenotypic change.
Project description:Lysine acetylation is a common post-translational modification in eukaryotes and prokaryotes which is known to be involved in the regulation of various cellular processes, such as transcriptional activation, metabolic signaling, and energy homeostasis. Nevertheless, its role in plant primary metabolism, and photosynthesis in particular, is not well understood. Lysine acetylation is catalyzed by acetyltransferases (KATs) and removed by corresponding deacetylases (KDACs). The Arabidopsis thaliana genome encodes for at least 16 KATs and 18 KDACs, belonging to seven different gene families. The cellular functions of these enzymes have been explored only partially, describing effects of single enzymes and their interaction with specific targets. In this dataset we investigated the effect of two distinct lysine deacetylase inhibitors on protein lysine acetylation in Arabidopsis thaliana leaves on a proteome-wide scale. Trichostatin A (TSA), an inhibitor of class I and II KDACs, and apicidin, an inhibitor of class I KDACs, were applied in solution to leaf strips to induce KDAC inhibition. Proteins were extracted and digested using an adapted FASP procedure, peptides were dimethyl-labeled, ZIC-HILIC fractionated and lysine-acetylated peptides were antibody-enriched. Peptide identification and quantitative data analysis was carried out using MaxQuant.

Project description:Somatic embryogenesis (SE) exemplifies the unique developmental plasticity of plant cells. The regulatory processes, including epigenetic modifications controlling embryogenic reprogramming of cell transcriptome, have just started to be revealed. To identify the genes of histone acetylation-regulated expression in SE, we analyzed global transcriptomes of Arabidopsis explants undergoing embryogenic induction in response to treatment with histone deacetylase inhibitor, trichostatin A (TSA). The TSA-induced and auxin (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid; 2,4-D)-induced transcriptomes were compared. RNA-seq results revealed the similarities of the TSA- and auxin-induced transcriptomic responses that involve extensive deregulation, mostly repression, of the majority of genes. Within the differentially expressed genes (DEGs), we identified the master regulators (transcription factors TF) of SE, genes involved in biosynthesis, signaling, and polar transport of auxin and NITRILASE-encoding genes of the function in indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) biosynthesis. TSA-upregulated TF genes of essential functions in auxin-induced SE, included LEC1/LEC2, FUS3, AGL15, MYB118, PHB, PHV, PLTs, and WUS/WOXs. The TSA-induced transcriptome revealed also extensive upregulation of stress-related genes, including those related to stress hormone biosynthesis. In line with transcriptomic data, TSA-induced explants accumulated salicylic acid (SA) and abscisic acid (ABA), suggesting the role of histone acetylation (Hac) in regulating stress hormone-related responses during SE induction. Since mostly the adaxial side of cotyledon explant contributes to SE induction, we also identified organ polarity-related genes responding to TSA treatment, including AIL7/PLT7, RGE1, LBD18, 40, HB32, CBF1, and ULT2. Analysis of the relevant mutants supported the role of polarity-related genes in SE induction. The study results provide a step forward in deciphering the epigenetic network controlling embryogenic transition in somatic cells of plants.
Project description:Treatment with the histone deacetylase inhibitor trichostatin a (TSA) changes the radial positioning of the CFTR gene in HeLa S3 cells. The gene relocates from the nuclear periphery to the nuclear interior. In Calu-3 cells the gene is located in the nuclear interior. To identifiy potential regulatory elements for the positioning of CFTR, the histone h3 and h4 acetylation patterns of untreated and TSA-treated HeLa S3 and untreated Calu-3 cells were determined by ChIP-chip. A CTCF site close to the CFTR promoter displayed consistent histone H3 hyperacetylation in TSA treated HeLa S3 cells and Calu-3 cells.
Project description:Genome wide expression changes following treatment with the HDACs (Histone Deacetylase Inhibitor) CG-1521 (7.5uM) or TSA (Trichostatin A) were investigated to determine regulatory targets and patterns of the HDAC Inhibitors. Keywords: Expression response to treatment, data was used for a comparison of gene expression and regulation between CG-1521 and TSA in LNCaP Cells
