Project description:The study describes differential expression of genes in adult female flies (Canton S) kept for three weeks in reproductive diapause, compared to ones kept in normal conditions. It discusses signal pathways that are activated or inactivated during diapause and how this relates to the general diapause phenotype with arrested vitellogenesis, extended lifespan, decreased somatic senescence, increased stress resistance and reallocated energy resources.

Project description:The ability to rapidly respond to changes in temperature is critical for insects and other ectotherms living in variable environments. In a physiological process termed rapid cold-hardening (RCH), exposure to non-lethal low temperature allows many insects to significantly increase their cold tolerance in a matter of minutes to hours. Additionally, there are rapid changes in gene expression and cell physiology during recovery from cold injury, and we hypothesize that RCH may modulate some of these processes during recovery. In this study, we used a cDNA microarray to examine the molecular mechanisms of RCH and cold shock (CS) recovery in the flesh fly, Sarcophaga bullata. With our custom 2-color array, we measured expression of ~15,000 ESTs during RCH and during recovery from cold shock. Surprisingly, no transcripts were upregulated during RCH, and likewise, RCH had a minimal effect on the transcript signature during recovery from cold shock. However, during recovery from cold shock, we observed differential expression of ~1,400 ESTs, including a number of heat shock proteins, cytoskeletal components, and genes from several cell signaling pathways. Several gene pathways correlated well with metabolomics data, indicating that coordinated changes in gene expression and metabolism contribute to recovery from cold shock. Four treatment groups (C, RCH, CS+2R, RCH+CS+2R), four biological replicates of four pooled individuals for each treatment. Each phenotype was hybridized with the control, and the CS+2R and RCH+CS+2R groups were also hybridized together.

Project description:Expression profiling of IFMs from 1-2 day old adult male flies of 3 genotypes: Canton-S, IFM-specific actin null (Act88FKM88) and IFM-specific myosin null (Mhc7). Results provide insight into how muscles respond to the absence of major scaffold proteins, and whether these transcriptional responses are filament-specific or generic to the tissue. RNA was extracted from the IFMs of 1-2 day old adult male flies of 3 genotypes (Canton-S, Act88FKM88, Mhc7), labeled, and hybridized on Affymetrix GeneChip Drosophila Genome 2.0 microarrays. 9 microarray experiments from 3 independent biological replicates of each genotype. Data was analyzed using RMA method, and significance was tested using SAM version 3.02, with cut-off parameters of 10% FDR and minimum 2-fold change in expression levels.

Project description:In this analysis, we used microarrays to contrast genome-wide transcript levels in virgin versus mated females before and after infection. We repeated the entire experiment using female mutants that do not form a germline. We found that multiple genes involved in egg production show reduced expression in response to infection, and that this reduction is stronger in virgins than it is in mated females. In germline-less females, expression of egg-production genes was predictably low and not differentially affected by infection. We also identified several immune responsive genes that are differentially induced after infection in virgins versus mated females. Eight treatment groups were analzyed, with three replicates for each treatment group.

Project description:Epithelial tube morphogenesis requires precise orchestration of cell signaling, shape, migration, and adhesion. Follicle cells in the Drosophila ovary form epithelial tubes, the lumens of which act as molds for the eggshell respiratory filaments, or dorsal appendages (DAs). The Tramtrack69 (TTK69) transcription factor controls DA lumen volume and shape by promoting tube expansion; the tramtrack mutation twin peaks (ttk^twk) reduces TTK69 levels late in oogenesis, inhibiting DA tube expansion. We used microarrays to identify differentially expressed genes in the ttk^twk mutant that are downstream of TTK69 and that play a functional role in DA tube expansion. Ovaries were dissected from female flies at 36 hours of age, to maximize the proportion of developing egg chambers undergoing DA tube expansion. Flies were raised at a constant temperature of 25C in the presence of wet yeast, to maximize the rate of egg chamber production.

Project description:Environmental temperature directly affects the concentration of chemicals in the gas phase. Therefore, if the olfactory system does not adapt to environmental conditions may provide inadequate information about distance to or direction of odor sources. Previous reports in Drosophila melanogaster show that temperature induces changes in olfactory sensitivity in complete individuals. Electrophysiological analysis demonstrates that these changes initiate at the olfactory receptor organs. In this experiment we try to identify particular genes responsible for olfactory adaptation to increasing temperatures using receptor organs of Drosophila after exposure to high temperatures. With this aim, wild-type Canton-S flies were subjected to 48-hour treatments at 30 degrees C. We use a direct approach selecting the specific tissue and making 'a priori' the gene election for the microarray analysis. Differential gene-expression analyses at the third antennal segments are performed comparing control and treated flies.

Project description:ET-743 (trabectedin, Yondelis®) and PM00104 (Zalypsis®) are marine derived compounds that have antitumor activity. ET-743 and PM00104 exposure over sustained periods of treatment will result in the development of drug resistance, but the mechanisms which lead to resistance are not yet understood. Human chondrosarcoma cell lines resistant to ET-743 (CS-1/ER) or PM00104 (CS-1/PR) were established in this study. The CS-1/ER and CS-1/PR exhibited cross resistance to cisplatin and methotrexate but not to doxorubicin. Human Affymetrix Gene Chip arrays were used to examine relative gene expression in these cell lines. Experiment Overall Design: Three samples CS-1/ER, CS-1/PR and CS-1 were compared.

Project description:Cigarette smoke (CS) imposes a strong oxidative burden on exposed tissues resulting in a severely disturbed oxidant/antioxidant balance, which in the context of chronic exposure is assumed to be a key contributor to CS-related diseases. Because of its emerging central role in orchestrating the general cellular antioxidant response, the pathway leading to the activation of the transcription factor Nrf2 has received mounting attention over the past decade in investigations aimed at elucidating CS-induced patho-physiological mechanisms. To comprehensively characterize the impact of Nrf2 in acute and sub-chronic smoking scenarios, Nrf2 knock-out mice and their wildtype ICR littermates were exposed to either ambient air (sham exposure) or to one of three doses of CS for up to 5 months with two post-exposure endpoints of 1 and 13 days. The lungs of the mice were monitored for transcriptomic changes on a genome-wide level. 110 samples from 28 different groups are analyzed. For each group there are 4 replicates, besides two groups with only 3 replicates. Group parameteres are: genotype (WT, KN), treatment (sham, smoke), dosage of smoke treatment (low, medium, high), time of smoke treatment (1 day, 2 month, 5 month, 5 month + 1 day recovery, 5 month + 13 days recovery)

Project description:Profiled the transcriptional response to over-expression Manganese-SOD (MnSOD) in adult Drosophila. A doxycycline-regulated system was employed to induce MnSOD over-expression, resulting in mean and maximal lifespan increases of ~ 20%. Examination of the genome-wide response to this lifespan intervention provided key insights into the molecular basis of aging. Experiment Overall Design: 20 Affymetrix DrosGenome1 arrays were employed with four replicates for each of five conditions. Cohorts of treated and untreated MnSOD transgenic flies were sampled at the same chronological age (~50% survival of -DOX flies, day 73) as well as, at the same physiological age (~50% survival for +DOX and -DOX flies, day 83 and day 73, respectively). The effect of DOX was controlled for by sampling control flies treated with or without DOX at the same chronological age (~50% survival of -DOX flies, day 78).

Project description:Tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) are major vectors of African trypanosomes, causing either Human or Animal African Trypanosomiasis (HAT or AAT). Several approaches are developed to control the disease among which the anti-vector Sterile Insect Technique. Another approach in the frame of anti-vector strategies could consist in controlling the fly’s vector competence which needs identifying factors (genes, proteins, biological pathways, …) involved in this process. The present work aims to verify whether protein candidates identified under experimental controlled conditions on insectary-reared tsetse flies have their counterpart in field-collected flies. Glossina palpalis palpalis flies naturally infected with Trypanosoma congolense were sampled in two HAT/AAT foci in Southern Cameroon. After dissection, the proteome from guts of parasite-infected flies were compared to that from uninfected flies in order to identify quantitative and/or qualitative changes associated to infection. A total of 3291 proteins were identified of which 1818 could be quantified. The comparative analysis allowed identifying 175 proteins with significant decreased abundance in infected as compared to uninfected flies, while 61 proteins displayed increased abundance. Among the former are RNA binding proteins, kinases, actin, ribosomal proteins, endocytosis proteins, oxido-reductases, as well as proteins that are unusually found such as tsetse salivary proteins (Tsal) or Yolk proteins. Among the proteins with increased abundance are fructose-1,6-biphosphatase, serine proteases, membrane trafficking proteins, death proteins (or apoptosis proteins), and SERPINs (inhibitor of serine proteases, enzymes considered as trypanosome virulence factors) that displayed highest increased abundance. Sodalis, Wiggleswothia and Wolbachia proteins are strongly under-represented, particularly when compared to data from similar experimentation conducted under controlled conditions on T. brucei gambiense infected (or uninfected) G. palpalis gambiensis insectary reared flies. Comparing the overall recorded data, 364 proteins identified in gut extracts from field flies were shown to have a homologue in insectary flies. Discrepancies between the two studies may arise from differences in the species of studied flies and trypanosomes as well as in differences in environmental conditions in which the two experiments were carried out. Finally, the present study together with former proteomic and transcriptomic studies on the secretome of trypanosomes, on the gut extracts from insectary reared and on field collected tsetse flies, provide a pool of data and information on which to draw in order to perform further investigations on, for example, mammal host immunization or on fly vector competence modification via para-transgenic approaches.
