The three-dimensional (3D) organization of chromosomes can influence transcription. However, the frequency and magnitude of these effects is still controversial. To determine how changes in chromosome positioning affect transcription we characterized nuclear organization and global gene expression after large-scale chromosomal rearrangements in budding yeast. We used computational modelling and single cell imaging to determine chromosome position and integrated these data with genome-wide transcriptional profiles from RNA sequencing. Chromosome displacement relative to the nuclear periphery has mild but widespread and significant effects on transcription. Our study suggests that basal transcriptional activity is sensitive to radial changes on chromosomal position, and provides support for the functional relevance of budding yeast chromosome-level 3D organization in gene expression. Overall design: We analysed 42 samples in total: wildtype (409) strain (4 replicas), mutant strain 524 (4 replicas), mutant strain 527 (4 replicas), mutant strain 1138 (4 replicas), mutant strain 1228 (4 replicas), mutant strain 1379 (4 replicas), mutant strain 1387 (4 replicas), mutant strain 1380 (4 replicas), mutant strain 1388 (4 replicas), mutant strain 1788 (3 replicas), mutant strain 1793 (3 replicas)

View SamplesThe mineralocorticoid aldosterone mainly produced by the adrenal gland is essential for life but an abnormal excessive secretion causes severe pathological effects including hypertension and target organ injury in the heart and kidney. The aim of this study was to determine the gene regulatory network triggered by aldosterone secretagogues in a non transformed cell system. Freshly isolated rat adrenal zona glomerulosa cells were stimulated with the two main aldosterone secretagogues, angiotensin II and potassium, for two hours and subjected to whole genome expression studies using multiple biological and bioinformatics tools. Several genes were differentially expressed by Ang II (n=133) or potassium (n=216). Genes belonging to the nucleic acid binding and transcription factor activity categories were significantly enriched. A subset of the most regulated genes were confirmed by real-time RT-PCR and then their expression analyzed in time curve studies. Differentially expressed genes were grouped according to their time-response expression pattern and their promoter regions analyzed for common regulatory transcription factors binding sites. Finally, data mining with gene promoters, transcription factors and literature databases were performed to generate gene interaction networks for either Ang II or potassium. This study provides for the first time a complete study of the genes that are regulated, and the interaction between them, by aldosterone secretagogues in rat adrenal cells. Increasing our knowledge of adrenal physiology and gene regulation in non transformed cell systems would lead us to a better approach for discovery of candidate genes involved pathological conditions of the adrenal cortex.
