Description
Extremely slow growth imposed by energy limitation is a ubiquitous but poorly understood physiological state for microbes. We used oxygen limitation to impose this state on Pseudomonas aeruginosa and measured newly synthesized proteins using a time-selective proteome labeling method (BONCAT) to identify relevant regulators and metabolic pathways. We further characterized one upregulated protein that has no homology to any known protein domains. This small, acidic protein is post-transcriptionally regulated and physically interacts with RNA polymerase, binding near the secondary channel during transcription elongation, and leading to widespread effects on gene expression. For some genes, the impacts on transcript and protein levels are different, suggesting possible modulation of translation as well. These effects have phenotypic consequences, as deletion of the gene affects biofilm formation, secondary metabolite production, and fitness in fluctuating conditions. Based on these phenotypes, we have designated the protein SutA (survival under transitions). Overall design: Profiles of rRNA-depleted total RNA from WT, ?sutA (PA14_69770), and SutA-overexpressing cells grown late exponential phase in minimal medium containing pyruate as the carbon source, in triplicate

Description
Epigenetic changes largely contribute to the regulation of gene expression in cancer cells. DNA methylation is part of the epigenetic gene regulation complex which is relevant for the pathogenesis of cancer. We performed a genome-wide search for methylated CpG islands in tumors and corresponding non-malignant lung tissue samples of 101 stage I-III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients by combining methylated DNA immunoprecipitation and microarray analysis using NimbleGens 385K Human CpG Island plus Promoter arrays. By testing for differences in methylation between tumors and corresponding non-malignant lung tissues, we identified 298 tumor-specifically methylated genes. From many of these genes epigenetic regulation was unknown so far. Gene Ontology analysis revealed an over-representation of genes involved in regulation of gene expression and cell adhesion. Expression of 182 of 298 genes was found to be upregulated after 5-aza-2-deoxycytidine (Aza-dC) and/or trichostatin A (TSA) treatment of 3 NSCLC cell lines by Affymetrix microarray analysis. In addition, methylation of selected genes in primary NSCLCs and corresponding non-malignant lung tissue samples were analyzed by methylation-sensitive high resolution melting analysis (MS-HRM). Our results obtained by MS-HRM analysis confirmed our data obtained by MeDIP-chip analysis. Moreover, by comparing methylation results from MeDIP-chip analysis with clinico-pathological parameters of the patients we observed methylation of HOXA2 as potential parameter for shorter disease-free survival of NSCLC patients. In conclusion, using a genome-wide approach we identified a large number of tumor-specifically methylated genes in NSCLC patients. Our results stress the importance of DNA methylation for the pathogenesis of NSCLCs.

Description
Low incubation temperature during early development negatively affects survival and related innate immune processes in zebrafish larvae exposed to lipopolysaccharide Overall design: Zebrafish embryos were collected from 28 °C, and divided into three temperature groups (24 °C, 28 °C, 32 °C) for incubation. At the first-feeding stage, larvae from each incubation temperature group were further split into three temperature groups in a full-factorial way for LPS challenge. In total, nine temperature groups (three incubation temperatures x three challenge temperatures) were generated. At 24 h post LPS challenge, mortality of larvae were recorded. Larvae originating from 24 °C incubation temperature group had higher mortality rate than larvae from the other two temperature groups. LPS-treated larvae from three temperature groups, incubation 24 °C x challenge 24 °C, incubation 24 °C x challenge 32 °C, and incubation 32 °C x challenge 24 °C, together with their respective control were chosen for transcriptomic analyses using mRNA sequencing. A total of 722 genes were determined differentially expressed (DEGs) by DESeq2 (adjusted p-value < 0.05) in LPS-challenged larvae compared to control, and 605 of them had a fold change greater than 1.5, including 294 DEGs (144 up-/150 down-regulated) in larvae incubated and challenged with LPS at 24 °C; 33 DEGs (20 up-/13 down-regulated) in larvae incubated at 32 °C and challenged at 24 °C; and 278 DEGs (190 up-/88 down-regulated) in larvae incubated at 24 °C and challenged at 32 °C. Larvae incubated and challenged with LPS at 24 °C had stimulated innate immune response compared to control, while they also showed down-regulated innate immune processes and genes. In larvae incubated at 32 °C and challenged at 24 °C, the innate immune processes were up-regulated in larvae exposed to LPS compared to control, and theses processes were even much stronger (with higher enrichment values) than larvae from incubation and challenge temperature of 24 °C. In larvae incubated at 24 °C and challenged with LPS at 32 °C, limited innate immune response were up-regulated, and additional hypoxia and oxidative processes were observed. Genes annexin A2a, S100 calcium binding protein A10b, and lymphocyte antigen-6, epidermis were identified as promising candidates for LPS recognition and signal transduction.

Description
This present study is the first to investigate the global changes in host gene expression during the interaction of human bronchial epithelial cells and live Alternaria spores. Human bronchial epithelial cells (BEAS2-B) were exposed to spores or media alone for 24 hours. RNA was collected from three biological replicates/treatment and used to assess changes in gene expression patterns using Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Arrays. Interestingly, many cytokine/chemokine immune response genes were upregulated. Genes involved in cell death, retinoic acid signaling, TLR3, and interferon response pathways were also significantly upregulated.

- Affymetrix Yeast Genome 2.0 Array (yeast2)
Description
Gene expression in eukaryotes is an essential process that includes transcription, pre-RNA processing and RNA export. All these steps are coupled and normally, any failure in one step affects the other steps and could cause nuclear mRNA retention. One important player in this interface is the poly(A)-RNA binding protein Nab2, which regulates the poly(A)-tail length of mRNAs protecting their 3-ends from a second round of polyadenylation and facilitating their nucleo-cytoplasmic export. Interestingly, here we show that Nab2 has additional roles in mRNA transcription elongation, tRNA metabolism and rRNA export.
