Transcriptome profiling of sterile daf-2; mes-1 double vs. mes-1 single mutants
  • organism-icon Caenorhabditis elegans
  • sample-icon 6 Downloadable Samples
  • Technology Badge IconIllumina HiSeq 2000

Description

The germ lineage is considered to be immortal. In the quest to extend lifespan, a possible strategy is to drive germline traits in somatic cells, to try to confer some of the germ lineage’s immortality on the somatic body. Notably, a study in C. elegans suggested that expression of germline genes in the somatic cells of long-lived daf-2 mutants confers some of daf-2’s longevity. Specifically, mRNAs encoding components of C. elegans germ granules (P granules) were up-regulated in daf-2 mutant worms, and knock-down of individual P-granule and other germline genes in daf-2 young adults modestly reduced their lifespan. We investigated the contribution of a germline program to daf-2’s long lifespan, and also tested if other mutants known to express germline genes in their somatic cells are long-lived. Our key findings are: 1) We could not detect P-granule proteins in the somatic cells of daf-2 mutants by immunostaining or by expression of a P-granule transgene. 2) Whole-genome transcript profiling of animals lacking a germline revealed that germline transcripts are not up-regulated in the soma of daf-2 worms compared to the soma of control worms. 3) Simultaneous removal of multiple P-granule proteins or the entire germline program from daf-2 worms did not reduce their lifespan. 4) Several mutants that robustly express a broad spectrum of germline genes in their somatic cells are not long-lived. Taken together, our findings argue against the hypothesis that acquisition of a germ cell program in somatic cells increases lifespan and contributes to daf-2’s longevity. Overall design: Transcriptome profiles of 3 replicates of sterile daf-2; mes-1 double mutants (experimental) and 3 replicates of sterile mes-1 single mutants (control) grown at 24°C

DRM complex mutant lin-54 vs. H3K36 methyltransferase mutant mes-4 vs. lin-54; mes-4 double mutant vs. wild type C.elegans germline
  • organism-icon Caenorhabditis elegans
  • sample-icon 12 Downloadable Samples
  • Technology Badge Icon Affymetrix C. elegans Genome Array (celegans)

Description

Here we uncover antagonistic regulation of transcript levels in the germline of Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodites. The histone methyltransferase MES-4 marks genes expressed in the germline with methylated Lys36 on histone H3 (H3K36me) and promotes their transcription; MES-4 also represses genes normally expressed in somatic cells and genes on the X chromosomes. The DRM complex, which includes E2F/DP and Retinoblastoma homologs, affects germline gene expression and prevents excessive repression of X-chromosome genes. Using genome-scale analyses of germline tissue, we show that common germline-expressed genes are activated by MES-4 and repressed by DRM, and that MES-4 and DRM co-bind many germline-expressed genes. Reciprocally, MES-4 represses and DRM activates a set of autosomal soma-expressed genes and overall X-chromosome gene expression. Mutations in mes-4 or the DRM subunit lin-54 oppositely skew target transcript levels and cause sterility; a double mutant restores near wild-type transcript levels and germ cell development. Together, yin-yang regulation by MES-4 and DRM ensures transcript levels appropriate for germ cell function, elicits robust but not excessive dampening of X-chromosome-wide transcription, and may poise genes for future expression changes. Our study reveals that conserved transcriptional regulators implicated in development and cancer counteract each other to fine-tune transcript dosage.

Analysis of the inflammatory transcription profiles of WT and Bid/ microglia
  • organism-icon Mus musculus
  • sample-icon 4 Downloadable Samples
  • Technology Badge Icon Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (mogene10st)

Description

Apoptosis is a controlled cell-death process mediated inter alia by proteins of the Bcl-2 family. Some proteins previously shown to promote the apoptotic process were found to have non-apoptotic functions as well. Microglia, the resident immune cells of the central nervous system, respond to brain derangements by becoming activated to contend with the brain damage. Activated microglia can also undergo activation-induced cell death. Previous studies have addressed the role of core apoptotic proteins in the death process, but whether or not these proteins also play a role in the activation process has not been reported. Here we explore the effect of the BH3-only protein Bid on the immunological features of microglia by subjecting both WT and Bid deficient primary neonatal microglial cultures to LPS treatment (100 ng/ml, 3h) or left untreated (control) and analyzing their transcription profiles in order to study the role of Bid.

Publication Title

Bid regulates the immunological profile of murine microglia and macrophages.

m6A mRNA Methylation Facilitates Resolution of Naïve Pluripotency Towards Differentiation (3p-Seq)
  • organism-icon Mus musculus
  • sample-icon 12 Downloadable Samples
  • Technology Badge IconIlluminaHiSeq2500

Description

Naïve and primed pluripotent states retain distinct molecular properties, yet limited knowledge exists on how their state transitions are regulated. Here we identify Mettl3, an N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) transferase, as a regulator for terminating murine naïve pluripotency. Mettl3 knockout pre-implantation epiblasts and naïve embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are depleted for m6A in mRNAs and yet, are viable. However, they fail to adequately terminate their naïve state, and subsequently undergo aberrant and restricted lineage priming at the post-implantation stage, leading to early embryonic lethality. m6A predominantly and directly reduces mRNA stability, including that of key naïve pluripotency promoting transcripts. This study highlights a critical role for an mRNA epigenetic modification in vivo, and identifies regulatory modules that functionally influence naïve and primed pluripotency in an opposing manner. Overall design: 3'' polyA RNA-sequencing (equivalent to Digital Gene Expression) measured in mouse Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs) and mouse Embriod bodies (EBs) 0,4 & 8 hours after treatment with Actinomycin which halts transcription. Measured in both WT and Mettl3-KO cells.

Pax6 is required for normal cell cycle exit and the differentiation kinetics of retinal progenitor cells.
  • organism-icon Mus musculus
  • sample-icon 6 Downloadable Samples
  • Technology Badge Icon Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)

Description

The coupling between cell-cycle exit and onset of differentiation is a common feature throughout the developing nervous system, but the mechanisms that link these processes are mostly unknown. Although the transcription factor Pax6 was implicated in both proliferation and differentiation of multiple regions within the CNS, its contribution to the transition between these successive states remains elusive. To gain insight into the role of Pax6 during the transition from proliferating progenitors to differentiating precursors, we investigated cell-cycle and transcriptomic changes occurring in Pax6- retinal progenitor cells (RPCs). Our analyses revealed a unique cell-cycle phenotype of the Pax6-deficient RPCs, which included a reduced number of cells in the S phase, an increased number of cells exiting the cell cycle, and delayed differentiation kinetics of Pax6- precursors. These alterations were accompanied by co-expression of factors that promote (Ccnd1, Ccnd2, Ccnd3) and inhibit (P27kip1 and P27kip2) the cell cycle. Further characterization of the changes in transcription profile of the Pax6-deficient RPCs revealed abrogated expression of multiple factors which are known to be involved in regulating proliferation of RPCs, including the transcription factors Vsx2, Nr2e1, Plagl1 and Hedgehog signaling. These findings provide novel insight into the molecular mechanism mediating the pleiotropic activity of Pax6 in RPCs. The results further suggest that rather than conveying a linear effect on RPCs, such as promoting their proliferation and inhibiting their differentiation, Pax6 regulates multiple transcriptional networks which function simultaneously, thereby conferring the capacity to proliferate, assume multiple cell fates and execute the differentiation program into retinal lineages.
