Grass seeds are complex organs composed by multiple tissues and cell types that develop coordinately to produce a viable embryo. The identification of genes involved in seed development is of great interest, but systematic spatial analyses of gene expression on maize seeds at the cell level have not yet been performed. MASISH is an online database holding information for gene expression spatial patterns in maize seeds based on in situ hybridization experiments. The web-based query interface allows the execution of gene queries and provides hybridization images, published references and information of the analyzed genes.

RNA localization is a regulated component of gene expression of fundamental importance in development and differentiation. Several RNA binding proteins involved in RNA localization during development in Drosophila have been identified, of which Y14, Mago, Pumilio, and IMP-1 are known to be expressed in adult mammalian intestine. The present study was undertaken to define the developmental and regional expression of these proteins, as well as Staufen-1, in mouse intestinal cells and in other tissues and cell lines using RT-PCR, and localization using in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. Staufen-1, Y14, Mago-m, and Pumilio-1 were expressed in intestinal epithelial cells of both villus and crypt and in Caco-2 and IEC-6 cells. In contrast, expression of IMP-1 was age- and region-specific, showing clear expression in distal fetal and newborn intestine, but very low or no expression in adult. The mRNAs were cytosolic, with more apical than basal expression in enterocytes. Staufen protein showed a similar localization pattern to that of its cognate mRNA. Overall, the data suggest an essential role for these proteins in intestinal cells. Age and regional expression of IMP-1 may indicate a role in regulation of site-specific translation of intestinal genes or in RNA localization. 相似文献

In situ hybridization and immunocytochemical techniques have been used to examine the distribution of vitamin-D-induced calbindin mRNA and calbindin protein in enterocytes lining the crypts and villi of chicken small intestine. Basal villus enterocytes contained approximately twice as much calbindin but over three times as much calbindin mRNA compared to values found in basal crypt and upper villus enterocytes, all values being measured 2 days after vitamin D injection into D-deficient chickens. Virtually no calbindin mRNA was detected in tissues taken from control D-deficient birds. Direct proportionality found between calbindin mRNA and calbindin content in enterocytes of basal crypt, mid and upper villus suggests pre-translational control over calbindin synthesis. The implications of possible inefficient translation of calbindin mRNA in basal villus enterocytes are discussed. Present methods of analysis provide a novel way to study mechanisms controlling gene expression throughout the whole process of enterocyte differentiation. 相似文献

Wnt signalling, which is transduced through beta-catenin/TCF4, maintains the undifferentiated state of intestinal crypt progenitor cells. Mutational activation of the pathway initiates the adenomacarcinoma sequence. Whereas all other differentiated epithelial cells migrate from the crypt onto the villus, Paneth cells home towards the source of Wnt signals--that is, the crypt bottom. Here, we show that expression of a Paneth gene programme is critically dependent on TCF4 in embryonic intestine. Moreover, conditional deletion of the Wnt receptor Frizzled-5 abrogates expression of these genes in Paneth cells in the adult intestine. Conversely, adenomas in Apc-mutant mice and colorectal cancers in humans inappropriately express these Paneth-cell genes. These observations imply that Wnt signals in the crypt can separately drive a stem-cell/progenitor gene programme and a Paneth-cell maturation programme. In intestinal cancer, both gene programmes are activated simultaneously. 相似文献

Gradients of gene expression are maintained along the proximal-distal axis of the mammalian small intestine despite a continuously regenerating epithelium. To study the molecular mechanisms responsible for this phenomenon, we utilized a subtractive hybridization strategy to isolate genes differentially expressed in the duodenum but not ileum. We isolated and sequenced 15 clones. The clones were fragments of genes encoding lipases, proteases, and an esterase. A novel clone was characterized and subsequently shown to encode syncollin, a secretory granule protein that binds to syntaxin in a calcium-sensitive manner. RT-PCR and S1 nuclease protection assay were used to clarify the 5'-end of syncollin. Syncollin was expressed in the rat pancreas, spleen, duodenum, and colon. In situ hybridization localized syncollin expression in the pancreas to acinar cells and in the duodenum to villus epithelial cells. 相似文献

GENEVESTIGATOR. Arabidopsis microarray database and analysis toolbox 总被引:26,自引:0,他引:26
High-throughput gene expression analysis has become a frequent and powerful research tool in biology. At present, however, few software applications have been developed for biologists to query large microarray gene expression databases using a Web-browser interface. We present GENEVESTIGATOR, a database and Web-browser data mining interface for Affymetrix GeneChip data. Users can query the database to retrieve the expression patterns of individual genes throughout chosen environmental conditions, growth stages, or organs. Reversely, mining tools allow users to identify genes specifically expressed during selected stresses, growth stages, or in particular organs. Using GENEVESTIGATOR, the gene expression profiles of more than 22,000 Arabidopsis genes can be obtained, including those of 10,600 currently uncharacterized genes. The objective of this software application is to direct gene functional discovery and design of new experiments by providing plant biologists with contextual information on the expression of genes. The database and analysis toolbox is available as a community resource at https://www.genevestigator.ethz.ch. 相似文献

Lactoperoxidase (LPO) is a component of milk and other external secretions. To study the influence of ingested LPO on the digestive tract, we performed DNA microarray analysis of the small intestine of mice administered LPO. LPO administration upregulated 78 genes, including genes involved in metabolism, immunity, apoptosis, and the cell cycle, and downregulated nine genes, including immunity-related genes. The most upregulated gene was FK506 binding protein 5 (FKBP5), a glucocorticoid regulating immunophilin. The upregulation of this gene was confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR in other samples. In situ hybridization revealed that expression of the FKBP5 gene in the crypt epithelial cells of the small intestine was enhanced by LPO. These results suggest that ingested LPO modulates gene expression in the small intestine and especially increases FKBP5 gene expression in the epithelial cells of the intestine. 相似文献

We have determined the nucleotide sequence of a zebrafish cDNA clone that codes for a cellular retinol-binding protein type II (CRBPII). Radiation hybrid mapping revealed that the zebrafish and human CRBPII genes are located in syntenic groups. In situ hybridization and emulsion autoradiography localized the CRBPII mRNA to the intestine and the liver of adult zebrafish. CRBPII and intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP) mRNA was colocalized to the same regions along the anterior-posterior gradient of the zebrafish intestine. Similarly, CRBPII and I-FABP mRNA are colocalized in mammalian and chicken intestine. CRBPII mRNA, but not I-FABP mRNA, was detected in adult zebrafish liver which is in contrast to mammals where liver CRBPII mRNA levels are high during development but rapidly decrease to very low or undetectable levels following birth. CRBPII and I-FABP gene expression appears therefore to be co-ordinately regulated in the zebrafish intestine as has been suggested for mammals and chicken, but CRBPII gene expression is markedly different in the liver of adult zebrafish compared to the livers of mammals. As such, retinol metabolism in zebrafish may differ from that of mammals and require continued production of CRBPII in adult liver. The primary sequence of the coding regions of fish and mammalian CRBPII genes, their relative chromosomal location in syntenic groups and possibly portions of the control regions involved in regulation of CRBPII gene expression in the intestine appear therefore to have been conserved for more than 400 million years. 相似文献

An in situ hybridization technique using a [35S]-labeled oligonucleotide probe was employed, in combination with immunohistochemistry and autoradiography, to examine gene expression for hepatic fatty acid binding protein (FABP) in the jejunal epithelia from both fed and fasted rats. In rats fed ad libitum, immunoreactivity and mRNA signal for FABP were localized to the absorptive epithelial cells lining the villus, whereas they were absent in the crypt epithelial cells. The level of FABP mRNA was relatively low in the tip of the villus, although FABP immunoreactivity remained high in this area. Animals fasted for 3 days exhibited a downward shift of the lower boundary of the FABP-expressing cell population into the middle portion of the crypt, in terms of the immunoreactivity and the mRNA signal. The proliferative cell compartment of the crypt, as revealed by [3H]-TdR incorporation, showed no substantial change in size between the fed and fasted states. The present results provided evidence that (a) during the differentiation and upward migration of the absorptive epithelial cells, the expression of FABP gene begins at the crypt-villus junction and declines before the cells reach the villus tip, and (b) fasting induces an earlier expression of the FABP gene in the maturing crypt epithelial cells. 相似文献

DigiNorthern (DN) is a web-based tool for virtually displaying expression profiles of query genes based on EST sequences. Two utilities are available: DN1 takes one query gene and quantitatively display its expression levels in tissues/organs that express the gene with comparison between normal and neoplastic status of each tissue; DN2 takes two sequences as query genes and compares their expression profiles side by side. 相似文献

In the small intestine, the progeny of stem cells migrate in precise patterns. Absorptive, enteroendocrine, and goblet cells migrate toward the villus while Paneth cells occupy the bottom of the crypts. We show here that beta-catenin and TCF inversely control the expression of the EphB2/EphB3 receptors and their ligand ephrin-B1 in colorectal cancer and along the crypt-villus axis. Disruption of EphB2 and EphB3 genes reveals that their gene products restrict cell intermingling and allocate cell populations within the intestinal epithelium. In EphB2/EphB3 null mice, the proliferative and differentiated populations intermingle. In adult EphB3(-/-) mice, Paneth cells do not follow their downward migratory path, but scatter along crypt and villus. We conclude that in the intestinal epithelium beta-catenin and TCF couple proliferation and differentiation to the sorting of cell populations through the EphB/ephrin-B system. 相似文献
