SARS-CoV-2 infection risk assessment in the endometrium: viral infection-related gene expression across the menstrual cycle
2020
Objective To determine the susceptibility of the endometrium to infection by—and thereby potential damage from—SARS-CoV-2. Design Analysis of SARS-Cov-2 infection-related gene expression from endometrial transcriptomic data sets. Setting Infertility research department affiliated with a public hospital. Patient(s) Gene expression data from five studies in 112 patients with normal endometrium collected throughout the menstrual cycle. Intervention(s) None. Main Outcome Measure(s) Gene expression and correlation between viral infectivity genes and age throughout the menstrual cycle. Result(s) Gene expression was high for TMPRSS4, CTSL, CTSB, FURIN, MX1, and BSG; medium for TMPRSS2; and low for…
Transcriptomic data from panarthropods shed new light on the evolution of insulator binding proteins in insects : Insect insulator proteins.
2016
Background Body plan development in multi-cellular organisms is largely determined by homeotic genes. Expression of homeotic genes, in turn, is partially regulated by insulator binding proteins (IBPs). While only a few enhancer blocking IBPs have been identified in vertebrates, the common fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster harbors at least twelve different enhancer blocking IBPs. We screened recently compiled insect transcriptomes from the 1KITE project and genomic and transcriptomic data from public databases, aiming to trace the origin of IBPs in insects and other arthropods. Results Our study shows that the last common ancestor of insects (Hexapoda) already possessed a substantial number …
A Spatially Resolved Dark- Versus Light-Zone Microenvironment Signature Subdivides Germinal Center-Related Aggressive B-Cell Lymphomas
2020
Summary: We applied digital spatial profiling for 87 immune and stromal genes to lymph node germinal center (GC) dark- and light-zone (DZ/LZ) regions of interest to obtain a differential signature of these two distinct microenvironments. The spatially resolved 53-genes signature, comprising key genes of the DZ mutational machinery and LZ immune and mesenchymal milieu, was applied to the transcriptomes of 543 GC-related diffuse large B cell lymphomas and double-hit (DH) lymphomas. According to the DZ/LZ signature, the GC-related lymphomas were sub-classified into two clusters. The subgroups differed in the distribution of DH cases and survival, with most DH displaying a distinct DZ-like prof…
Viable But Not Culturable (VBNC) state of Brettanomyces bruxellensis in wine: New insights on molecular basis of VBNC behaviour using a transcriptomi…
2016
International audience; The spoilage potential of Brettanomyces bruxellensis in wine is strongly connected with the aptitude of this yeast to enter in a Viable But Non Culturable (VBNC) state when exposed to the harsh wine conditions. In this work, we characterized the VBNC behaviour of seven strains of B. bruxellensis representing a regional intraspecific biodiversity, reporting conclusive evidence for the assessment of VBNC as a strain-dependent character. The VBNC behaviour was monitored by fluorescein diacetate staining/flow cytometry for eleven days after addition of 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1 and 1.2 mg/L of molecular SO2 (entrance in the VBNC state) and after SO2 removal (exit from the VBNC st…
Identification of metastasis-related genes by genomic and transcriptomic studies in murine melanoma.
2021
Abstract Aims We systematically characterized metastatic murine B16-F10 melanoma, a sub-line derived from murine melanoma B16-F1 cells. Materials and methods RNA-sequencing and network analyses (Ingenuity Pathway Analysis) were performed to identify novel potential metastasis mechanisms. Chromosomal aberrations were identified by multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization (mFISH) using all 21 murine whole chromosome painting probes. Key findings Numerous genes were overexpressed in B16-F10 cells, some of which have been already described as being metastasis-linked. Nr5a1/sf1, a known prognostic marker for adrenal tumors, was 177-fold upregulated in B16-F10 cells compared to B16-F1 cells.…
Análisis transcriptómico del daño por frío en fruto de melocotón
2016
En la industria hortofrutícola las bajas temperaturas se utilizan para retrasar la maduración y el decaimiento de los frutos. A pesar de tener un uso extendido, los frutos de melocotón sometidos a almacenamiento prolongado en frío (CS) a menudo desarrollan una forma de daño por frío (CI) genéticamente controlada llamada harinosidad (mealiness/woolliness [WLT]): un desorden textural de la pulpa del fruto caracterizado por la perdida de suculencia Aunque durante el frío se han observado algunas alteraciones microscópicas, los síntomas visibles o macroscópicos de daño se desarrollan, no obstante, cuando los frutos se transfieren a temperatura ambiente (temperaturas de simulación de vida útil, …

Transcriptome and metabolome analysis of citrus fruit to elucidate puffing disorder.
2014
a b s t r a c t A systems-level analysis reveals details of molecular mechanisms underlying puffing disorder in Citrus fruit. Flavedo, albedo and juice sac tissues of normal fruits and fruits displaying symptoms of puffing disorder were studied using metabolomics at three developmental stages. Microarrays were used to compare normal and puffed fruits for each of the three tissues. A protein-protein interaction network inferred from previous work on Arabidopsis identified hub proteins whose transcripts show significant changes in expression. Glycolysis, the backbone of primary metabolism, appeared to be severely affected by the disorder, based on both transcriptomic and metabolomic results. …
Positive selection in development and growth rate regulation genes involved in species divergence of the genus Radix
2015
AbstractBackgroundLife history traits like developmental time, age and size at maturity are directly related to fitness in all organisms and play a major role in adaptive evolution and speciation processes. Comparative genomic or transcriptomic approaches to identify positively selected genes involved in species divergence can help to generate hypotheses on the driving forces behind speciation. Here we use a bottom-up approach to investigate this hypothesis by comparative analysis of orthologous transcripts of four closely related EuropeanRadixspecies.ResultsSnails of the genusRadixoccupy species specific distribution ranges with distinct climatic niches, indicating a potential for natural …
Snapshot liver transcriptome in hepatocellular carcinoma
2012
Lately, advances in high throughput technologies in biomedical research have led to a dramatic increase in the accessibility of molecular insights at different levels of cancer biology such as genome, epigenome, transcriptome, proteome, and others. Among the diverse biological layers, the transcriptome has been most extensively studied especially due to the successful and broad introduction of the microarray technology. The future prospect of broad disposability of deep sequencing technology will furthermore lead to a more sensitive detection of lowly expressed transcripts and to an increase in the number of newly identified transcripts, but also to increase the discovery and characterizati…
