Ekstracelulārās vezikulās ietvertās mikrobiālās RNS atklāšana cilvēku asins un urīna paraugos
2020
Gandrīz visi cilvēka šūnu tipi sekretē ekstracelulārās vezikulas (EVs), un tām ir svarīga loma starpšūnu komunikācijā. Jaunākie pētījumi liecina, ka komunikācija notiek arī starp cilvēka mikrobiotu un saimniekorganisma šūnām. Šajā pētījumā mēs parādām, ka no cilvēka asinīm un urīna izdalītās EVs satur RNS fragmentus no dažādiem mikroorganismiem. Visbiežāk sastopami baktēriju tipi un supertipi asinīs un urīnā bija Proteobacteria, PVC grupa un Terrabacteria. Lai noteiktu vai šo mikrobiālo transkriptu galvenais avots ir zarnu mikrobioms, mēs izstrādājām EV izdalīšanas metodi no cilvēku fēču paraugiem. Tālāk mēs plānojām veikt RNS sekvencēšanas (RNA-seq) analīzi EV, kas izdalītas no plazmas, ur…
Virtual lock and key approach: the revival of Fischer model
2009
Retene, pyrene and phenanthrene cause distinct molecular-level changes in the cardiac tissue of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) larvae, part 1 – …
2020
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are contaminants of concern that impact every sphere of the environment. Despite several decades of research, their mechanisms of toxicity are still poorly understood. This study explores the mechanisms of cardiotoxicity of the three widespread model PAHs retene, pyrene and phenanthrene in the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) early life stages. Newly hatched larvae were exposed to each individual compound at sublethal doses causing no significant increase in the prevalence of deformities. Changes in the cardiac transcriptome were assessed after 1, 3, 7 and 14 days of exposure using custom Salmo salar microarrays. The highest number of differentiall…
Transcriptomic and proteomic insights of the wine yeast biomass propagation process
2010
Transcriptome and proteome profiles have been established for the commercial wine yeast strain T73 during an important industrial process: yeast biomass propagation. The data from both analyses reveal that the metabolic transition from fermentation to respiration is the most critical step in biomass propagation. We identified 177 ORFs and 56 proteins among those most expressed during the process, thus highlighting cell stress response, mitochondrial and carbohydrate metabolism as the most represented functional categories. A direct correlation between mRNA changes and protein abundance was observed for several functional categories such as tricarboxylic acid cycle proteins, heat shock prote…
Drosophila melanogaster overexpression FAS live longer
2018
FAS and FAS ligand is critical in the control of the extension of extrinsic pathway of apoptosis. In previous studies we have performed transcriptomics peripheral blood cells from centenarians, octogenarians and young persons and we found over expression in centenarians of the FAS receptor. To confirm the role of FAS ligand in longevity across animal species, we have generated Drosophila melanogaster that over expresses this gene using the GAL4-UAS technique. The results show that flies overexpressing FAS increase maximal longevity in twelve percent and average longevity in six percent. Therefore, we confirm that FAS is related to longevity flight.
Quantitative descriptors in myopic eyes
2020
La prevalencia de la miopía ha demostrado ser mayor entre la población con una educación superior. Se cree que el tiempo dedicado a actividades de trabajo cercano tiene un papel en dicha asociación entre la miopía y el nivel educativo alcanzado. De hecho, el tiempo dedicado al trabajo cercano y su intensidad, especialmente la lectura continua, han demostrado aumentar las probabilidades de miopía en niños. Los estudiantes universitarios constituyen un grupo de población joven expuesto a mucho trabajo cercano prolongado por lo que que tiene un riesgo especial de desarrollo y progresión de la miopía durante sus estudios. Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo caracterizar el ojo miope mediante …
Integrative Gene Expression and Metabolic Analysis Tool IgemRNA
2022
ABSTRACTGenome scale metabolic modelling is widely used technique to research metabolism impacts on organism’s properties. Additional omics data integration enables a more precise genotype-phenotype analysis for biotechnology, medicine and life sciences. Transcriptome data amounts rapidly increase each year. Many transcriptome analysis tools with integrated genome scale metabolic modelling are proposed. But these tools have own restrictions, compatibility issues and the necessity of previous experience and advanced user skills. We have analysed and classified published tools, summarized possible transcriptome pre-processing, and analysis methods and implemented them in the new transcriptome…
A statistical model for magnitudes and angles of wavelet frame coefficients and its application to texture retrieval
2014
Abstract This paper presents a texture descriptor based on wavelet frame transforms. At each position in the image, and for each resolution level, we consider both vertical and horizontal wavelet detail coefficients as the components of a bivariate random vector. The magnitudes and angles of these vectors are computed. At each level the empirical histogram of magnitudes is modeled by a Generalized Gamma distribution, and the empirical histogram of angles is modeled by a different version of the von Mises distribution that accounts for histograms with 2 modes. Each texture is characterized by few parameters. A new distance is presented (based on the Kullback–Leibler divergence) that allows g…
Instruction of haematopoietic lineage choices, evolution of transcriptional landscapes and cancer stem cell hierarchies derived from an AML1-ETO mous…
2013
The t(8;21) chromosomal translocation activates aberrant expression of the AML1-ETO (AE) fusion protein and is commonly associated with core binding factor acute myeloid leukaemia (CBF AML). Combining a conditional mouse model that closely resembles the slow evolution and the mosaic AE expression pattern of human t(8;21) CBF AML with global transcriptome sequencing, we find that disease progression was characterized by two principal pathogenic mechanisms. Initially, AE expression modified the lineage potential of haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), resulting in the selective expansion of the myeloid compartment at the expense of normal erythro- and lymphopoiesis. This lineage skewing was foll…
Mapping of 7-methylguanosine (m7G), 3-methylcytidine (m3C), dihydrouridine (D) and 5-hydroxycytidine (ho5C) RNA modifications by AlkAniline-Seq
2021
Precise and reliable mapping of modified nucleotides in RNA is a challenging task in epitranscriptomics analysis. Only deep sequencing-based methods are able to provide both, a single-nucleotide resolution and sufficient selectivity and sensitivity. A number of protocols employing specific chemical reagents to distinguish modified RNA nucleotides from canonical parental residues have already proven their performance. We developed a deep-sequencing analytical pipeline for simultaneous detection of several modified nucleotides of different nature (methylation, hydroxylation, reduction) in RNA. The AlkAniline-Seq protocol uses intrinsic fragility of the N-glycosidic bond present in certain mod…
