AI Article Synopsis
- Polyploids, including autopolyploids and allopolyploids, often outperform their diploid counterparts in traits like growth, nutrient accumulation, and resistance, but the effects on transcription regulation in pak choi remain underexplored.
- This study utilized RNA-seq and Hi-C to analyze genetic differences between diploid (AA) and artificial autotetraploid (AAAA) pak choi, discovering 1,786 differentially expressed genes, with a significant number involved in chromatin structure changes.
- Key findings included specific genes linked to photosynthesis and disease resistance that were highly expressed in autotetraploids, highlighting the importance of integrative approaches in uncovering the molecular mechanisms behind polyploidy advantages.
Article Abstract
Polyploids generated by the replication of a single genome (autopolyploid) or synthesis of two or more distinct genomes (allopolyploid) usually show significant advantages over their diploid progenitors in biological characteristics, including growth and development, nutrient accumulation, and plant resistance. Whereas, the impacts of genomic replication on transcription regulation and chromatin structure in pak choi have not been explored fully. In this study, we observed the transcriptional and genomic structural alterations between diploid (AA) and artificial autotetraploid (AAAA) using RNA-seq and Hi-C. RNA-seq revealed 1,786 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the diploids and autotetraploids, including 717 down-regulated and 1,069 up-regulated genes in autotetraploids. Of all the 1,786 DEGs, 23 DEGs (10 down-regulated DEGs in autotetraploids) were involved in Compartment A-B shifts, while 28 DEGs (20 up-regulated DEGs in autotetraploids) participated in Compartment B-A shifts. Moreover, there were 15 DEGs in activated topologically associating domains (TADs) (9 up-regulated DEGs in diploids) and 80 DEGs in repressed TADs (49 down-regulated DEGs in diploids). Subsequently, eight DEGs with genomic structural variants were selected as potential candidate genes, including four DEGs involved in photosynthesis (, , , and ), three DEGs related to chloroplast (, , and ), and one DEG associated with disease resistance (), which all showed high expression in autotetraploids. Overall, our results demonstrated that integrative RNA-seq and Hi-C analysis can identify related genes to phenotypic traits and also provided new insights into the molecular mechanism of the growth advantage of polyploids.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a prototypical neurodegenerative disorder, predominantly affecting individuals in the presenile and elderly populations, with an etiology that remains elusive. This investigation aimed to elucidate the alterations in anoikis-related genes (ARGs) in the AD brain, thereby expanding the repertoire of biomarkers for the disease. Using publically available gene expression data for the hippocampus from both healthy and AD subjects, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified.

Introduction: Chronic hand eczema (CHE) is a highly prevalent inflammatory skin condition which is often resistant to conventional treatments. Molecular insights of CHE remain limited. Tape stripping combined with high-throughput RNA sequencing can now provide a better insight into CHE pathogenesis in a minimally invasive fashion.

Self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) is an extremely promising platform because it can produce more protein for less RNA. We used a sort and sequence approach to identify host cell factors associated with transgene expression from saRNA; the hypothesis was that cells with different expression levels would have different transcriptomes. We tested this in CDK4/hTERT immortalized human muscle cells transfected with Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV)-derived saRNA encoding GFP.

Cervical cancer (CC), which ranks among the four most common cancers in women, is a leading cause of both illness and death globally. It's urgent to identify a new biomarker to elucidate the potential mechanisms underlying the progression of CC. Here, we screened the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the Cancer Genome Atlas database (TCGA) and selected Chromosome 1 open reading frame 74 (C1orf74) for further investigation.

Background And Objectives: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) was a common and severe complication of invasive mechanical ventilation. The traditional VAP diagnostic model relied on laboratory microbiological cultures. However, VAP had unclear pathogenesis, and its accurate identification was difficult due to the varying levels of pathogen detection in different laboratories.
