Affymetrix C. elegans Genome Array (celegans)
Description
Adaptation of C. elegans to hypertonic environments involves the accumulation of the organic osmolyte glycerol via transcriptional upregulation of the glycerol biosynthestic enzyme gpdh-1. A number of mutants, termed osmotic stress resistant (osr) mutants, have been identified. osr mutants cause constitutive upregulation of gpdh-1 and confer extreme resistance to hypertonicity. We tested the hypothesis that osr mutants broadly activate a gene expression program normally activated by osmotic stress in wild type animals using Affymterix microarray analysis of the hypertonic stress response in wild type animals and of constituitive gene expression changes in five osr mutants.

Description
In vertebrate muscle, loss of Dysferlin results in the activation of compensatory muscle gene expression, even at pre-pathological stages. We hypothesized that if C. elegans fer-1 is also expressed in muscle, then fer-1 mutant worms might also exhibit compensatory muscle gene expression.
Publication Title
C. elegans dysferlin homolog fer-1 is expressed in muscle, and fer-1 mutations initiate altered gene expression of muscle enriched genes.

Description
TonEBP is a transcription factor that promotes cellular accumulation of organic osmolytes in the hypertonic renal medulla by stimulating expression of its target genes. Genetically modified animals with deficient TonEBP activity in the kidney suffer from severe medullary atrophy in association with cell death, demonstrating that TonEBP is essential for the survival of the renal medullary cells. Using both TonEBP knockout cells and RNA interference of TonEBP, we found that TonEBP promoted cellular adaptation to hypertonic stress. Microarray analyses revealed that genetic response to hypertonicity was dominated by TonEBP in that expression of totally different sets of genes was increased by hypertonicity in those cells with TonEBP vs. those without TonEBP activity. Out of over 100 potentially new TonEBP regulated genes, we selected 7 for further analyses and found that their expression was all dependent on TonEBP. RNA interference experiments showed that some of these genes asporin, insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 5 and 7, and an extracellular lysophosphlipase D plus Hsp70, a known TonEBP target gene, contributed to the adaptation to hypertonicity without promoting organic osmolyte accumulation. We conclude that TonEBP stimulates multiple cellular pathways for adaptation to hypertonic stress in addition to organic osmolyte accumulation.

Description
The role of infection in erythropoietic dysfunction is poorly understood. In children with P. falciparum malaria, the by-product of hemoglobin digestion in infected red cells (hemozoin) is associated with the severity of anemia which is independent of circulating levels of the inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis alpha (TNF-alpha). To gain insight into the common and specific effects of TNF-alpha and hemozoin on erythropoiesis, we studied the gene expression profile of purified primary erythroid cultures exposed to either TNF-alpha (10ng/ml) or to hemozoin (12.5microgram/ml heme units) for 24 hours. Perturbed gene function was assessed using co-annotation of associated gene ontologies and expression of selected genes representative of the profile observed was confirmed by real time PCR (rtPCR). The changes in gene expression induced by each agent were largely distinct; many of the genes significantly modulated by TNF-alpha were not affected by hemozoin.

Description
Erythropoiesis in mammals replenishes the circulating red blood cell (RBC) pool from hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs). Two distinct erythropoietic programs have been described. In the first trimester, hematopoietic precursors in the fetal yolk sac follow a primitive pattern of erythropoiesis. However, in the second trimester, hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from the fetal liver and later from the bone marrow differentiate by a definitive program of erythropoiesis to yield enucleated erythrocytes. RBCs can also be derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) and can express many of the red cell proteins required for normal erythrocyte function, presaging in vitro RBC production for clinical use. However, expansion and enucleation from hiPSCs is less efficient than with erythroblasts (EBs) derived from adult or cord blood progenitors. We hypothesized that substantial differential gene expression during erythroid development from hiPSCs compared to that from adult blood or cord blood precursors could account for these hitherto unexplained differences in proliferation and enucleation. We have therefore grown EBs from human adult and cord blood progenitors and from hiPSCs. Gene expression during erythroid culture from each erythroblast source was analyzed using algorithms designed to cluster co-expressed genes in an unsupervised manner and the function of differentially expressed genes explored by gene ontology. Using these methods we identify specific patterns of gene regulation for adult- and cord- derived EBs, regardless of the medium used, that are substantially distinct from those observed during the differentiation of EBs from hiPSC progenitors which largely follows a pattern of primitive erythropoiesis.
