Epigenetic response in mice mastitis: Role of histone H3 acetylation and microRNA(s) in the regulation of host inflammatory gene expression during Staphylococcus aureus infection.
Specimen part
View SamplesBacterial infection in the mammary gland parenchyma induces local inflammation that can lead to a multietiological complex disease called mastitis. Globally Staphylococcus aureus is the single largest mastitis pathogen and the infection can ultimately result in either subclinical or chronic and sometimes lifelong infection. In the present report we have addressed the differential inflammatory response in the mice mammary tissue during intramammary infection and the altered epigenetic context induced by two closely related strains of S. aureus. Immunohistochemical and immunoblot analysis showed strain specific hyperacetylation at histone H3K9 and H3K14 residues. Real-time PCR and genome-wide gene expression studied showed expression of a set of proinflammatory genes and cytokines in a temporal manner. Remarkably, over expression of the genes significantly correlated with the promoter specific acetylation in these residues. Furthermore, we have identified several differentially expressed known miRNAs and 4 novel miRNAs in the S. aureus infected mice mammary tissue by small RNA sequencing. By employing these gene expression data, an attempt has been made to delineate the gene regulatory networks in the strain specific inflammatory response. Apparently, one of the isolates of S. aureus activated the NFkB signaling leading to drastic inflammatory response and induction of immune surveillance, which could lead to rapid clearance of the pathogen. The other strain repressed most of the inflammatory response, which might help in its sustenance in the host tissue. Taken together, our studies shed substantial lights to understand the mechanisms of strain specific differential inflammatory response to S. aureus infection during mastitis.

View SamplesHormones effect various plant developmental processes by altering gene expression. The expression of several genes is regulated by plant hormones and many of these genes are regulated commonly and specifically by various hormones.

View SamplesGlutaredoxins (GRXs) are the ubiquitous oxidoreductase enzymes, which play important role in defense against various stresses. To analyze the function of a CC-type rice GRX gene, OsGRX8, we overexpressed it into Arabidopsis constitutively. The physiological analyses revealed that overexpression of GRX gene enhanced abiotic stress tolerance in transgenic plants as compared to wild-type.

View SamplesSeveral homeobox genes belonging to HD-ZIP I subfamily are highly induced by drought stress at various developmental stages in rice. To analyze the role of a candidate HD-ZIP I subfamily member, OsHOX24, we constitutively overexpressed it in rice. The physiological analyses revealed that overexpression of OsHOX24 gene reduced drought stress tolerance in transgenic plants as compared to wild-type.

View SamplesOver expression of recombinant proteins is known to cause a metabolic burden to the host cells which leads to down regulation of both growth rates and protein expression. Most studies in this regard have been conducted in low density shake flask cultures which does not capture the essential features of an industrial scale bioprocess. In the present work we studied the transcriptomic profiling at different specific growth rates while expressing the recombinant human interferon beta in fed batch cultures with complex media. These conditions mimicked the industrial fermentations for recombinant proteins.

View SamplesThe ability to control the synthesis of products in the absence of cell division remains an attractive alternative for the optimization of microbial processes. If this could be achieved, it would dramatically expand the productivity of many microbial processes by increasing product synthesis in the absence of an increase in cell mass. In the present work we have looked at the factors involved in the design of a host where the fluxes would be channeled towards product formation rather than biomass synthesis. To identify the genes responsible for diverting the metabolic flux specifically towards product formation we have used for this study is quiescent-cell (Q-cell) expression system, in which a plasmid-encoded protein is expressed in nongrowing but metabolically active cells. These cells channel the metabolic flux towards recombinant protein production and therefore the specific product yield per unit biomass is significantly higher. Indole which is previously known to be a signalling molecule is here used as an inducer of Quiescence. E.coli L-Asparaginase is used as a model protein in this work.
