Project description:We report changes in H3K27ac following LPS stimulation in Detroit 562 cells. We were able to identified LPS-increased H3K27ac regions which correlated with RELA binding as well as gene up-regulation. This data set is relevant for airborne bacterial sensing as Detroit 562 cells are nasopharyngeal epithelial cells and LPS is a gram negative bacterial endotoxin.

Project description:Epigenetic variation has the potential to control environmentally dependent development and contribute to phenotypic responses to local environments. Environmental epigenetic studies of sexual organisms confirm the responsiveness of epigenetic variation, which should be even more important when genetic variation is lacking. A previous study of an asexual snail, Potamopyrgus antipodarum, demonstrated that different populations derived from a single clonal lineage differed in both shell phenotype and methylation signature when comparing lake versus river populations. Here, we examine methylation variation among lakes that differ in environmental disturbance and pollution histories. The differential DNA methylation regions (DMRs) identified among the different lake comparisons suggested a higher number of DMRs and variation between rural Lake 1 and one urban Lake 2 and between the two urban Lakes 2 and 3, but limited variation between the rural Lake 1 and urban Lake 3. DMR genomic characteristics and gene associations were investigated. Observations suggest there is no effect of geographic distance or any consistent pattern of DMRs between urban and rural lakes. Environmental factors may influence epigenetic response.

Project description:Our main objectives wereto investigate the molecular mechanisms involved in metal toxicity and detoxification in the field using juvenile yellow perch subjected to differents levels of this metal exposure. Recent local adaptation to pollution has been evidenced in several organisms inhabiting environments heavily contaminated by metals. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying adaptation to high metal concentrations are poorly understood, especially in fishes. Yellow perch (Perca flavescens) populations from lakes in the mining area of Rouyn-Noranda (QC, Canada) have been faced with metal contamination for about 90 years. Here, we examine gene transcription patterns of fish reciprocally transplanted between a reference and a metal-contaminated lake and also fish caged in their native lake. After four weeks, 111 genes were differentially transcribed in metal-naïve fish transferred to the metal-contaminated lake, revealing a plastic response to metal exposure. Genes involved in the citric cycle and beta-oxidation pathways were under-transcribed, suggesting a potential strategy to mitigate the effects of metal stress by reducing energy turnover. However, metal-contaminated fish transplanted to the reference lake did not show any transcriptomic response, indicating a reduced plastic response capability to sudden reduction in metal concentrations. Moreover, the transcription of other genes, especially ones involved in energy metabolism, was affected by caging. Overall, our results highlight environmental stress response mechanisms in yellow perch at the transcriptomic level and support a rapid adaptive response to metal exposure through genetic assimilation.

Project description:A total of 432 genes were found to be differentially expressed in M1SF370 bacterial population internalized in Detroit 562 human pharyngeal cells when compared with the same strain incubated in the absence of Detroit 562 cells. While most of them (349/432 i.e. 80.8%) were up regulated, 83 genes were down regulated contributing to 19.2% of the total differentiated genes. The major contributor of the latter category was phage-related genes (35 genes). Almost ¼ of these genes (106) belonged to a category of Unknown or possible predicted function. Most notably, up-regulated genes belonged to amino acid transport , cell division, cell envelope biogenesis, DNA replication correlated well with up-regulated 67 genes belonged to translation and ribosomal structure. Further, up-regulation of 12/15 virulence-related genes indicated that human host cell internalized bacteria are highly virulent as compared to laboratory grown culture in test-tubes. S. pyogenes strain type M1 SF370 (wild-type) was procured from ATCC (ATCC 700294). Detroit 562 pharyngeal cells were obtained from ATCC and maintained in MEM with 10% FBS in humidified CO2-incubator. Purified cDNA preparations from the Detroit cells-internalized bacteria and that were cultured without Detroit cells, were labeled with either Alexafluor-555 or Alexafluor-647 depending on the experimental design ( i.e. dye swap experiment). Differentially labeled probes were then combined and purified. Using four independently isolated RNA preparations (biological replicates), a total of 8 experiments (incorporating 4 dye swaps) were performed. Accordingly eight hybridization measurements for this mutant were obtained. Exp-1 and -2 (GSM687276, GSM687310-dye swap) are the technical replicates of the biological sample-1, Exp-3 and -4 (GSM687311, GSM687312-dye swap) are technical replicates of biological sample-2, Exp-5 and -6, (GSM687313,GSM687319-dye swap,) are technical replicates of the biological sample-3, and finally Exp-7 and -8, (GSM687320,GSM687321-dye swap) are technical replicates of the biological sample-4. .
