The extracellular matrix (ECM) is important for normal development and disease states, including inflammation and fibrosis. To understand the complex regulation of ECM, we performed a suppressor screening using Caenorhabditis elegans expressing the mutant ROL-6 collagen protein. One cuticle mutant has a mutation in dpy-23 that encodes the μ2 adaptin (AP2M1) of clathrin-associated protein complex II (AP-2). The subsequent suppressor screening for dpy-23 revealed the lon-2 mutation. LON-2 functions to regulate body size through negative regulation of the tumor growth factor-beta (TGF-β) signaling pathway responsible for ECM production. RNA-seq analysis showed a dominant change in the expression of collagen genes and cuticle components. We noted an increase in the cav-1 gene encoding caveolin-1, which functions in clathrin-independent endocytosis. By knockdown of cav-1, the reduced TGF-β signal was significantly restored in the dpy-23 mutant. In conclusion, the dpy-23 mutation upregulated cav-1 expression in the hypodermis, and increased CAV-1 resulted in a decrease of TβRI. Finally, the reduction of collagen expression including rol-6 by the reduced TGF-β signal influenced the cuticle formation of the dpy-23 mutant. These findings could help us to understand the complex process of ECM regulation in organism development and disease conditions.

Sicyos angulatus has become an important invasive plant exhibiting good ecological adaptability and strong competitive ability. However, studies on this plant at the molecular level are limited by a lack of sequencing data. The present study obtained transcriptome sequences and gene expression profiles using RNA-Seq during S. angulatus seed germination. In total, RNA-Seq generated 491,967,468 reads, which were de novo assembled and 127,874 unigenes with N50 length of 807 bp. About 34.9% of the unigenes (44,660) were annotated against the protein databases, and 35,176 coding sequences were determined. During S. angulatus seed germination, over 127,860 unigenes were expressed and 66,664 unigenes differentially expressed genes (DEGs), among which 8919 DEGs were similar in pairwise comparison. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis of DEGs revealed that genes related to post-embryonic development, meristem development, and photosynthesis were enriched. In addition, the GO term “plant hormone signal transduction pathway” was also enriched in the DEGs. Important changes in genes expression related to auxin and gibberellin signal transduction might possibly be associated with S. angulatus seed germination. The findings of this study provide a foundation for research on S. angulatus that may contribute to prevent further invasion of this plant, consequently protecting the environment. © 2021 Friends Science Publishers

Abstract Biological aging is characterized by a progressive decline in physiological function from molecular to organismal levels, manifesting through adaptive transcriptional networks. We present an overview of the complex regulation of transcriptional networks in species- and tissue-specific aging. We aimed to: 1) capture the age-associated changes in gene-gene connectivity, and 2) evaluate the effect of two interventions targeting biological aging (metformin, acarbose) on the regulation of gene networks. Aim 1) Using RNA-Seq we modeled co-expression networks and identified differentially co-expressed gene-pairs between young, middle-aged and older-aged groups. Aim 2) Using short-term clinical studies in older humans (metformin: MILES-trial; acarbose: SAIL-trial), and complementary mouse studies, we revealed the genes and novel pathways underlying the drugs’ effects on biological aging in muscle and adipose. Importantly, these interventions shifted transcripts to a more youthful expression. Overall, we provide evidence of age-associated gene-network topology changes and identify upstream transcriptional factors affected by age-targeting drugs.

Seed vigor affects seed germination and seedling emergence, and therefore is an important agronomic trait in rice. Small auxin-up RNAs (SAURs) function in a range of developmental processes, but their role in seed vigor remains unclear. Here, we observed that disruption of OsSAUR33 resulted in reduced germination rates and low seed uniformity in early germination. Expression of OsSAUR33 was higher in mature grains and early germinating seeds. RNA-seq analysis revealed that OsSAUR33 modulated seed vigor by affecting the mobilization of stored reserves during germination. Disruption of OsSAUR33 increased the soluble sugar content in dry mature grains and seeds during early germination. OsSAUR33 interacted with the sucrose non-fermenting-1-related protein kinase OsSnRK1A, a regulator of the sugar signaling pathway, which influences the expression of sugar signaling-related genes during germination. Disruption of OsSAUR33 increased sugar-sensitive phenotypes in early germination, suggesting OsSAUR33 likely affects seed vigor through the sugar pathway. One elite haplotype of OsSAUR33 associated with higher seed vigor was identified mainly in indica accessions. This study provides insight into the effects of OsSAUR33 on seed vigor in rice.
