光诱导香菇菌丝转色阶段的转录因子表达分析

转录因子在真菌环境响应及生理过程中发挥重要的调节作用。本文利用转录组测序（RNA-Seq）技术研究光诱导香菇菌丝转色过程中的转录因子表达变化。转录组测序结果表明,在光照条件下转色的菌丝（313C）与黑暗条件下未转色的菌丝（313W）相比,香菇菌丝中共有68个转录因子基因表达发生变化（48个转录因子上调表达,20个转录因子下调表达）;转色的菌丝（313C）与初始未转色的菌丝（118）相比,香菇菌丝中有80个转录因子基因表达发生变化（49个转录因子上调表达,31个转录因子下调表达）。这些差异表达的转录因子包括WD40、MADS-box、MYB和GATA等家族。另外,样品的两两比较中差异表达的转录因子既存在部分重叠,也表现特异性。其中,313C/313W中有14个特异性差异表达转录因子,313C/118中有26个特异差异表达的转录因子。重叠的转录因子有64个,其中有39个表达水平上调,15个表达水平下调。采用实时荧光定量PCR对几个转录因子进行了表达检测,其中部分转录因子的表达趋势与转录组分析基本相同。这些数据为进一步研究香菇转色的转录调控奠定了一定的基础。

Microarray analysis of differentially expressed genes engaged in fruit development between table and wine grape

Microarray analysis of genes can provide individual gene-expression profiles and new insights for elucidating biological mechanisms responsible for fruit development. To obtain an overall view on expression profiles of metabolism-related genes involved in fruit development of table and wine grapes, a microarray system comprising 15,403 ESTs was used to compare the expressed genes. The expression patterns from the microarray analysis were validated with quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis of 18 selected genes of interest. During the entire fruit development stage, 2,493 genes exhibited at least 2.0-fold differences in expression levels with 1,244 genes being up-regulated and 1,249 being down-regulated. Following gene ontology analysis, only 929 differentially expressed (including 403 up-regulated and 526 down-regulated) genes were annotated in table and wine grapes. These differentially expressed genes were found to be mainly involved in carbohydrate metabolism, biosynthesis of secondary metabolites as well as energy, lipid and amino acid metabolism via KEGG. Our results provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms and expression profiles of genes in the fruit development stage of table and wine grapes.     

Large scale of identification of differentially expressed genes in the regenerating rat liver after SISPH

Extensive gene expression analysis was carried out after a 0, 4, 36, 72, 96 h short interval successive partial hepatectomy (SISPH) was performed. A total of 185 elements were identified as differing by more than two-fold in their expression levels at one or more time points. Of these 185 elements, 103 were up-regulated, 82 were down-regulated and 86 elements were unreported genes. Quite a few genes were previously unknown to be involved in liver regeneration (LR). Using cluster and general analysis, we found that the genes at five time points of the SISPH share eight different types of different expression profiles and eight distinct temporal induction or suppression patterns. A comparison of the gene expression in SISPH with that after PH found that 41 genes were specifically altered in SISPH, and 144 genes were simultaneously up-regulated or down-regulated in SISPH and after PH, but they were present in different amounts at the different time points. The conclusions are that (i) microarrays combined with suppressive subtractive hybridization (SSH) can effectively identify genes involved in LR on a large scale; (ii) more genes were up-regulated than down-regulated; (iii) there are fewer abundantly expressed genes than those with increased levels of 2–5 fold.     

Large scale of identification of differentially expressed genes in the regenerating rat liver after SISPH

After partial hepatectomy (PH), the remnant paren-chyma can completely recover lost liver mass and function in about one week[1,2]. Although adult hepa-tocytes are normally quiescent, they are readily primed to pass from G0 to G1 phase within 2―6 h after PH. The first peak of DNA synthesis appears 24 h after PH, while cell division peaks at 36 h. The liver cells then enter a second cell cycle, and redifferentiation and reconstruction of structure and function[3―6] take place. A great nu…

Effect of thermospermine on expression profiling of different gene using massive analysis of cDNA ends (MACE) and vascular maintenance in Arabidopsis

Arabidopsis thaliana polyamine oxidase 5 gene (AtPAO5) functions as a thermospermine (T-Spm) oxidase. Aerial growth of its knock-out mutant (Atpao5-2) was significantly repressed by low dose(s) of T-Spm but not by other polyamines. To figure out the underlying mechanism, massive analysis of 3′-cDNA ends was performed. Low dose of T-Spm treatment modulates more than two fold expression 1,398 genes in WT compared to 3186 genes in Atpao5-2. Cell wall, lipid and secondary metabolisms were dramatically affected in low dose T-Spm-treated Atpao5-2, in comparison to other pathways such as TCA cycle-, amino acid- metabolisms and photosynthesis. The cell wall pectin metabolism, cell wall proteins and degradation process were highly modulated. Intriguingly Fe-deficiency responsive genes and drought stress-induced genes were also up-regulated, suggesting the importance of thermospermi′ne flux on regulation of gene network. Histological observation showed that the vascular system of the joint part between stem and leaves was structurally dissociated, indicating its involvement in vascular maintenance. Endogenous increase in T-Spm and reduction in H₂O₂ contents were found in mutant grown in T-Spm containing media. The results indicate that T-Spm homeostasis by a fine tuned balance of its synthesis and catabolism is important for maintaining gene regulation network and the vascular system in plants.
