EML1 and EML3 were previously shown to be histone readers involved in plant-pathogen interactions. To learn more about the developmental function of EML1 and EML3, we generated eml1 eml3 double mutant and showed that it had specific seed developmental phenotypes, including a capability to develop seed without fertilization. Next, we analyzed the mRNA expression of genes in the eml1 eml3 double mutant and compared it to its wild type. Differentially expressed (DE) genes in the mutant were identified and compared with DE of the mutants known to be involved in regulating seed development and in fertilization-independent endosperm development. Our results suggest that some targets are shared between EML histone readers and known regulators of seed development, such as MEA. Auxin response seems to be affected in both types of mutants. However, unlike MEA, EML proteins regulate auxin responsive genes not only in the endosperm, but also in the embryo. This capability makes EML proteins very good candidates for engineering apomictic seeds. Overall design: 3 eml1,eml3 double mutant samples and 3 WT samples
Arabidopsis EMSY-like (EML) histone readers are necessary for post-fertilization seed development, but prevent fertilization-independent seed formation.

View SamplesThe development of trichomes (leaf hairs) from pluripotent epidermal cells in Arabidopsis provides a powerful system to investigate the regulatory motifs involved in plant cell differentiation. Genetic studies have revealed that a bHLH transcription factor, GL3, activates downstream genes required for trichome initiation by interacting with a R2R3-MYB protein, GL1. In order to investigate genome-wide regulatory functions of GL1 and GL3, we performed genome-wide expression analyses using GR inducible systems of GL1 and GL3.
A systems approach reveals regulatory circuitry for Arabidopsis trichome initiation by the GL3 and GL1 selectors.

Genetic studies have revealed that a bHLH transcription factor, GL3, activates downstream genes required for trichome initiation by interacting with a R2R3-MYB protein, GL1. We have taken advantage of several mutants in the trichome developmental pathway and gene expression analyses to identify a set of genes expressed predominantly in Arabidopsis trichomes.

View SamplesGangliogliomas, the most frequent neoplasms in patients with pharmacoresistant focal epilepsies, are characterized by histological combinations of glial and dysplastic neuronal elements, a highly differentiated phenotype and rare gene mutations.<br></br><br></br>Here, we have used discrete microdissected ganglioglioma and adjacent control brain tissue obtained from the neurosurgical access to the tumour of identical patients (n = 6) carefully matched for equivalent glial and neuronal elements in an amount sufficient for oligonucleotide microarray hybridization without repetitive amplification. Multivariate statistical analysis identified a rich profile of genes with altered expression in gangliogliomas.

View SamplesThe present research aimed to study the interaction of three chemicals, methyl mercury, benzene and trichloroethylene, on mRNA expression alterations in rat liver and kidney measured by microarray analysis. These compounds were selected on presumed different modes of action. The chemicals were administered daily for 14 days at the Lowest-Observed-Adverse-Effect-Level (LOAEL) or at a two- or three-fold lower concentration individually or in binary or ternary mixtures. The compounds had strong antagonistic effects on each others gene expression changes, which included several genes encoding Phase I and II metabolizing enzymes. On the other hand, the mixtures affected the expression of “novel” genes that were not or little affected by the individual compounds. Based on gene expression changes, the three compounds exhibited a synergistic interaction at the LOAEL in the liver and both at the sub-LOAEL and LOAEL in the kidney. Many of the genes induced by mixtures but not by single compounds, such as Id2, Nr2f6, Tnfrsf1a, Ccng1, Mdm2 and Nfkb1 in the liver, are known to affect cellular proliferation, apoptosis and function. This indicates a shift from compound specific response on exposure to individual compounds to a more generic stress response to mixtures. Most of the effects on cell viability as concluded from transcriptomics were not detected by classical toxicological research illustrating the difference in sensitivity of these techniques. These results emphasize the benefit of applying toxicogenomics in mixture interaction studies, which yields biomarkers for joint toxicity and eventually can result in an interaction model for most known toxins.

View SamplesTotal RNA from trichomes of fifth and sixth rosette leaves of three-week-old wild-type and gtl1-1 mutants (Figure 3B) were extracted. We found a total number of 1,759 genes, corresponding to 1,694 probes on the ATH1 chip, that show differential expression of at least 1.3-fold. Out of these 1,694 genes, 47.2% are positively regulated and 52.8% are negatively regulated by GTL1.
