Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular pathways. The goals of this study are to compare transcriptome profiling of control of P. aeruginosa PAO1 (RNA-seq) to transcriptome profiling of DAS-treated and DAE-treated P. aeruginosa PAO1 and to evaluate protocols for optimal high-throughput data analysis. Results: The transcriptome sequencing data of control, DAS-treated and DAE-treated groups were compared and analyzed in the form of the following: DAE vs DAS, control vs DAS, and control vs DAE. The details of the differentially expressed genes among the three groups showed that the amount of differential expressed genes between DAE-treated group and DAS-treated group was high (total 2195, up-regulated 1608, down-regulated 587). There were many differentially expressed genes in the PAO1 strain after DAS treatment (total 2771, up-regulated 1905, down-regulated 866), while the amount of differentially expressed genes after DAE treatment was relatively small (total 770, up-regulated 349, down-regulated 421). Overall design: Methods: LB medium (50 mL) was inoculated with exponential growth phase P. aeruginosa PAO1 at a concentration of 1.0E8 CFU/mL. Diallyl sulfide and diallyl ether were then added at a concentration of either 0 (control) or 0.63 μl/mL, respectively, in triplicate. All nine experiment groups were incubated in a water bath shaker at 37C with a shaking rate of 180 rpm for 5 h. Cells were then sampled and centrifuged from the three control groups and three farnesol treatment groups, respectively. The cell precipitates were separately snap-frozen at -80C. Total RNA was isolated from cells using Trizol (Life Technologies, USA) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Less...
