Two distinct extracellular RNA signatures released by a single cell type identified by microarray and next-generation sequencing
2016
ABSTRACT Cells secrete extracellular RNA (exRNA) to their surrounding environment and exRNA has been found in many body fluids such as blood, breast milk and cerebrospinal fluid. However, there are conflicting results regarding the nature of exRNA. Here, we have separated 2 distinct exRNA profiles released by mast cells, here termed high-density (HD) and low-density (LD) exRNA. The exRNA in both fractions was characterized by microarray and next-generation sequencing. Both exRNA fractions contained mRNA and miRNA, and the mRNAs in the LD exRNA correlated closely with the cellular mRNA, whereas the HD mRNA did not. Furthermore, the HD exRNA was enriched in lincRNA, antisense RNA, vault RNA, …
AlkAniline-Seq: A Highly Sensitive and Specific Method for Simultaneous Mapping of 7-Methyl-guanosine (m7G) and 3-Methyl-cytosine (m3C) in RNAs by Hi…
2021
Epitranscriptomics is an emerging field where the development of high-throughput analytical technologies is essential to profile the dynamics of RNA modifications under different conditions. Despite important advances during the last 10 years, the number of RNA modifications detectable by next-generation sequencing is restricted to a very limited subset. Here, we describe a highly efficient and fast method called AlkAniline-Seq to map simultaneously two different RNA modifications: 7-methyl-guanosine (m7G) and 3-methyl-cytosine (m3C) in RNA. Our protocol is based on three subsequent chemical/enzymatic steps allowing the enrichment of RNA fragments ending at position n + 1 to the modified nu…
Identification of omic profiles for diagnosis and monitoring of bladder cancer
2019
La presente Tesis titulada Identificación de perfiles ómicos para el diagnóstico y la monitorización del cáncer de vejiga se centra en la identificación de biomarcadores metabolómicos urinarios no invasivos para el diagnóstico y la monitorización del cáncer de vejiga (CaV). Con este fin, se han utilizado dos plataformas analíticas: la Resonancia Magnética Nuclear (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, 1H NMR) y la Cromatografía Líquida de alta resolución acoplada a la Espectrometría de Masas (Ultraperformance Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry, UPLC-MS). Además, se han analizado tejidos vesicales mediante la técnica de Resonancia Magnética Nuclear de Alta Resolución con Giro de Ángulo Mágico (Hi…
Stress responses in citrus peel: Comparative analysis of host responses to Huanglongbing disease and puffing disorder
2015
Abstract A comparison between transcriptomic responses to puffing disorder and Huanglongbing disease was conducted to decipher differences and similarities in gene and pathway regulation induced by abiotic (puffing) and biotic stresses (Huanglongbing) in citrus peel tissues. We functionally analyzed two previously published datasets: the first obtained for the study of puffing disorder using an Affymetrix citrus microarray and the second consisting of a deep sequencing analysis of symptomatic responses to Huanglongbing disease. Transcriptomic data were mined using bioinformatic tools to highlight genes and pathways playing a key role in modulating responses to different types of stress in c…
Identifying Host Molecular Features Strongly Linked With Responses to Huanglongbing Disease in Citrus Leaves
2018
© 2018 Balan, Ibáñez, Dandekar, Caruso and Martinelli. A bioinformatic analysis of previously published RNA-Seq studies on Huanglongbing (HLB) response and tolerance in leaf tissues was performed. The aim was to identify genes commonly modulated between studies and genes, pathways and gene set categories strongly associated with this devastating Citrus disease. Bioinformatic analysis of expression data of four datasets present in NCBI provided 46–68 million reads with an alignment percentage of 72.95–86.76%. Only 16 HLB-regulated genes were commonly identified between the three leaf datasets. Among them were key genes encoding proteins involved in cell wall modification such as CESA8, pecti…
Identification of conserved genes linked to responses to abiotic stresses in leaves among different plant species
2020
As a consequence of global climate change, certain stress factors that have a negative impact on crop productivity such as heat, cold, drought and salinity are becoming increasingly prevalent. We conducted a meta-analysis to identify genes conserved across plant species involved in (1) general abiotic stress conditions, and (2) specific and unique abiotic stress factors (drought, salinity, extreme temperature) in leaf tissues. We collected raw data and re-analysed eight RNA-Seq studies using our previously published bioinformatic pipeline. A total of 68 samples were analysed. Gene set enrichment analysis was performed using MapMan and PageMan whereas DAVID (Database for Annotation, Visuali…
Endosperm cintribution to Medicago truncatula seed development : characterization of a DOF transcription factor expressed in chalazal endosperm
2014
In the current context, which necessitates a reduction in inputs in crop systems and boosting of production of plant proteins to reduce France’s dependency on feed imports,, growing legumes represents an alternative. Grain legumes are major sources of proteins for animal and human nutrition. In the UMR1347 Agroécologie, the objectives of the study group "déterminismes Génétiques et Environnementaux de l’Adaptation des Plantes à des Systèmes de culture Innovants" (GEAPSI) are to promote legume cultivation and adaptation to environmental stresses, via multidisciplinary approaches (genetics, ecophysiology, molecular physiology). This thesis project was carried out in the "Étude des Mécanismes …
Integrative Metabolomic and Transcriptomic Analysis for the Study of Bladder Cancer
2019
Metabolism reprogramming is considered a hallmark of cancer. The study of bladder cancer (BC) metabolism could be the key to developing new strategies for diagnosis and therapy. This work aimed to identify tissue and urinary metabolic signatures as biomarkers of BC and get further insight into BC tumor biology through the study of gene-metabolite networks and the integration of metabolomics and transcriptomics data. BC and control tissue samples (n = 44) from the same patients were analyzed by High-Resolution Magic Angle Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and microarrays techniques. Besides, urinary profiling study (n = 35) was performed in the same patients to identify a metabolomic profi…
Acting locally - affecting globally: RNA sequencing of gilthead sea bream with a mild Sparicotyle chrysophrii infection reveals effects on apoptosis,…
2019
[Background] Monogenean flatworms are the main fish ectoparasites inflicting serious economic losses in aquaculture. The polyopisthocotylean Sparicotyle chrysophrii parasitizes the gills of gilthead sea bream (GSB, Sparus aurata) causing anaemia, lamellae fusion and sloughing of epithelial cells, with the consequent hypoxia, emaciation, lethargy and mortality. Currently no preventive or curative measures against this disease exist and therefore information on the host-parasite interaction is crucial to find mitigation solutions for sparicotylosis. The knowledge about gene regulation in monogenean-host models mostly comes from freshwater monopysthocotyleans and almost nothing is known about …
Current view of nitric oxide-responsive genes in plants
2009
International audience; Significant efforts have been directed towards the identification of genes differentially regulated through nitric oxide (NO)-dependent processes. These efforts comprise the use of medium- and large-scale transcriptomic analyses including microarray and cDNA-amplification fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) approaches. Numerous putative NO-responsive genes have been identified in plant tissues and cell suspensions with transcript levels altered by artificially released NO, or endogenously produced. Comparative analysis of the data from such transcriptomic analyses in Arabidopsis reveals that a significant part of these genes encode proteins related to plant adaptive …
