Affymetrix Yeast Genome 2.0 Array (yeast2)
Description
In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, cleavage factor I (CFI) and cleavage and polyadenylation factor (CPF) build the core of the transcription termination machinery. CFI comprises the Rna14, Rna15, Pcf11, and Clp1 proteins, as well as the associated Hrp5 RNA-binding protein. We found that CFI participates in the DNA damage response and that rna14-1 shows synthetic growth defects with mutants of different repair pathways, including homologous recombination, non-homologous end joining, post replicative repair, mismatch repair, and nucleotide excision repair, implicating that impaired RNAPII termination and 3-end processing decreases the cellular tolerance for DNA damage. Beyond replication progression defects, we found that bypass of the G1/S checkpoint in rna14-1 cells leads to synthetic sickness, accumulation of phosphorylated H2A, as well as increase in Rad52-foci and in recombination. Our data provide evidence that CFI dysfunction impairs RNAPII turnover, leading to replication hindrance and lower tolerance to exogenous DNA damage. These findings underscore the importance of coordination between transcription termination, DNA repair and replication in the maintenance of genomic stability.

Description
Physiological effects of carbon dioxide and impact on genome-wide transcript profiles were analysed in chemostat cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In anaerobic, glucose-limited chemostat cultures grown at atmospheric pressure, cultivation under CO2-saturated conditions had only a marginal (<10%) impact on the biomass yield. Conversely, a 25% decrease of the biomass yield was found in aerobic, glucose-limited chemostat cultures aerated with a mixture of 79% CO2 and 21% O2. This observation indicated that respiratory metabolism is more sensitive to CO2 than fermentative metabolism. Consistent with the more pronounced physiological effects of CO2 in respiratory cultures, the number of CO2-responsive transcripts was higher in aerobic cultures than in anaerobic cultures. Many genes involved in mitochondrial functions showed a transcriptional response to elevated CO2 concentrations. This is consistent with an uncoupling effect of CO2 and/or intracellular bicarbonate on the mitochondrial inner membrane. Other transcripts that showed a significant transcriptional response to elevated CO2 included NCE103 (probably encoding carbonic anhydrase), PCK1 (encoding PEP carboxykinase) and members of the IMD gene family (encoding isozymes of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase

Illumina HiSeq 1000
Description
Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the global gene expression induced by OGG1-BER product 8-oxoG in mouse airways. Methods: RNA extracted from individual mouse lungs (experimental group: n=5) were pooled and a total 1 µg RNA was used for Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) analyses on an Illumina HiSeq 1000 sequencing system. Sequence analysis were performed in duplicate. First- and second-strand synthesis, adapter ligation and amplification of the library were performed using the Illumina TruSeq Sample Preparation Kit as recommended by the manufacturer (Illumina). Library quality was evaluated by using an Agilent DNA-1000 chip on an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer. Library DNA templates were quantitated by qPCR using known reference starndards. Cluster formation of the library of DNA templates was performed using the TruSeq PE Cluster Kit v3 (Illumina) and the Illumina cBot workstation. Paired-end, 50-base sequencing was performed with a TruSeq SBS kit v3 (Illumina) on the Illumina HiSeq 1000 by protocols defined by the manufacturer. Base call conversion to sequence reads was performed using CASAVA-1.8.2. Sequence data were analyzed with the Bowtie2, Tophat2 and GFOLD programs. Processed data are presented as reads per kilobase transcript per million (RPKM), normalized to the experimental control (RNA from saline-challenged lungs) and reported as fold change (test/control). Results: We mapped an average of 24.76 million sequence reads per sample and identified 23,337 transcripts in total RNA extracted from lungs of Balb/cJ mice as described in Methods. Approximately 10% of the transcripts showed differential expression between the saline-challenged control and 8-oxoguanine-challeged mouse lungs, with a fold change =3.0. We validated the expression changes of 7 selected pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines of interest for our studies by qRT-PCR. Hierarchical clustering followed by Protein ANalysis THrough Evolutionary Relationships database (PANTHER) analysis of differentially expressed genes. Results showed overrepresentation of various biological functions (GO terms) including immune system process (GO:0002376; p=5.24e-12) among others. Pathway analysis (PANTHER) indicated that the most overrepresented pathway was inflammation mediated by chemokine and cytokine (P00031, p=<0.01). In addition to gene expression analysis, we confirmed OGG1•8-oxoG-dependent RAS activation in lungs by active RAS pull-down assays, airways neutrophil accumulation by bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) differential cell counts and airway inflammation by histological examination (H&E staining) of lung sections. Conclusions: This is the first study at the whole-transcriptome level to show induction of innate immune response gene expression in mouse lungs after exposure to OGG1-BER product 8-oxoG. Overall design: Balb/cJ mice (5 per group) were intranasally challenged with 8-oxoguanine (1 µM, 60 µl) for 30, 60 and 120 min. Control group mice were intranasally challenged with saline (60 µl). RNA from individual mice whithin the same group was pooled and subjected to deep-sequencing analysis in duplicate using NGS on an Illumina HiSeq 1000 sequencing system. After alignment and processing, the resulting RPKM from treatment groups (8-oxoG-challenged) were normalized to the control group (saline-challenged).

Description
Purpose: The aim of this study is to test whether global gene expression induced by multiple challenges with OGG1-BER product 8-oxoG in mouse airways is linked to airway remodeling. Methods: RNAs extracted from individual mouse lungs (experimental group: n=5) were pooled and a total 1 µg RNA was used for Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) analyses on an Illumina HiSeq 1000 sequencing system. Sequence analyses were performed in duplicate. First- and second-strand synthesis, adapter ligation and amplification of the library were performed using the Illumina TruSeq Sample Preparation Kit as recommended by the manufacturer (Illumina). Library quailty was evaluated by using an Agilent DNA-1000 chip on an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer. Library DNA templates were quantitated by qPCR using known reference standards. Cluster formation of the library of DNA templates was performed using the TruSeq PE Cluster Kit v3 (Illumina) and the Illumina cBot workstation. Paired-end, 50-base sequencing was performed with a TruSeq SBS kit v3 (Illumina) on the Illumina HiSeq 1000 by protocols defined by the manufacturer. Base call conversion to sequence reads was performed using CASAVA-1.8.2. Sequence data were analyzed with the Bowtie2, Tophat2 and GFOLD programs. Processed data are presented as reads per kilobase transcript per million (RPKM), normalized to the experimental control (RNA from saline challenged lungs) and reported as fold change (test/control). Results: We mapped an average of 31.41 million sequence reads per sample and identified 23,337 transcripts in total RNA extracted from lungs of Balb/cJ mice as described in Methods. Approximately 14% of the transcripts showed differential expression between the saline-challenged control and 8-oxoguanine-challeged mouse lungs, with a fold change =3.0. We validated the expression changes of 18 selected EMT-related genes of interest for our studies by qRT-PCR. Hierarchical clustering followed by Protein ANalysis THrough Evolutionary Relationships database (PANTHER) analysis of differentially expressed genes was done using GENE-E online software from Broad Institute (http://www.broadinstitute.org/cancer/software/GENE-E/). Results from PANTHER analysis of upregulated transcripts (fold change =3.0) showed overrepresentation of various biological functions (GO terms) including developmental process (GO:0032502, P=4.58E-33), system development (GO:0048731, P=9.16E-33), cellular process (GO:0009987, P= 5.52E-31), cell adhesion (GO:0007155, P= 8.63E-28) among others. Pathway analysis (PANTHER) indicated that the most overrepresented pathways were: cadherin signaling (P00012, P=6.62E-07), wnt signaling (P00057, P= 5.81E-06), integrin signaling (P00034, P= 1.09E-05) among others. In addition to gene expression analysis, we confirmed airway remodeling by histological examination (Hematoxylin and Eosin, Masson's trichrome staining) of lung sections at seven days from the last challenge (day 11). Conclusions: This is the first study showing a link between gene expression at whole-transcriptome level induced by chronic OGG1-BER (mimicked by multiple challenges with 8-oxoG) and airway remodeling, supported by histological structural changes in lungs. Overall design: Balb/cJ mice (5 per group) were intranasally challenged with 8-oxoguanine (1 µM, 60 µl) for three times at days 0, 2 and 4. Control group mice were intranasally challenged with saline (60 µl). At 30, 60 and 120 min after the third challenge (day 4), mice were sacrificed and lungs were processed for RNA extraction. RNAs from individual mice within the same group were pooled and subjected to deep-sequencing analysis in duplicate using NSG on an Illumina HiSeq 1000 sequencing system. After alignment and processing, the resulting RPKM from treatment groups (8-oxoG-challenged) were normalized to control group (saline-challenged).

Description
The conserved FACT (FAcilitates Chromatin Transcription) complex is a chromatin-reorganizing complex that promotes RNAPII transcription through chromatin templates by interacting with histones. It facilitates promoter activation by nucleosome eviction, and transcription elongation by nucleosome disruption and reassembly ahead and behind the RNAP. It also has a role in replication not fully understood yet. Genome-wide microarray analyses in spt16-11 and pob3-7 strains revealed a set of genes whose mRNA levels were altered with respect to the WT levels. These include 48 up-regulated and 80 down-regulated genes that are common to both strains. The up-regulated genes were longer and expressed at lower levels than the genome average whereas the down-regulated genes were more similar to the average of the genome.
