Transcription profiling of Drosophila selected for aggressive behavior over 28 generations vs controls

ABSTRACT: Genes relevant to manifestion of and variation in aggression behavior might be differentially expressed in lines selected for divergent levels of aggression. Experiment Overall Design: Drosophila males were assessed for their aggression levels in a behavioral assay that quantified aggressive encounters. A subset of the sampled population was selected as parents for the next generation, with High, Low, and Control selection groups maintained. This artificial selection was continued for 28 generations, with a variety of other behavioral and life history traits assessed for correlation with response to selection for aggression. At generation 28, male and female flies were collected for RNA extraction and subsequent gene expression analysis.

Quantitative genomics of aggressive behavior in Drosophila melanogaster.

Edwards Alexis C AC Rollmann Stephanie M SM Morgan Theodore J TJ Mackay Trudy F C TF

PLoS genetics 20060802 9

Aggressive behavior is important for animal survival and reproduction, and excessive aggression is an enormous social and economic burden for human society. Although the role of biogenic amines in modulating aggressive behavior is well characterized, other genetic mechanisms affecting this complex behavior remain elusive. Here, we developed an assay to rapidly quantify aggressive behavior in Drosophila melanogaster, and generated replicate selection lines with divergent levels of aggression. The ...[more]

Microarray analysis of male flies selected for increased aggressive behavior

Project description:We generated 4 separate subpopulations of selected flies from 1 starting population of a mixture of Canton-S flies. Two of the populations (AggrI and AggrII) were selected for increased aggression by picking males from a population cage that engaged in the most intense fighting (known as escalation behavior). Thirty males were selected every generation (from a total of 120 males per cage) per line and mated with random virgin females from that same generation. Two control populations (NeutrI and NeutrII) were selected by picking random males from the population cage after 15-30 aggressive males were removed. After 21 generations of selection males from the Aggr lines were dramatically more aggressive than males from the Neutr lines. The Neutr lines did not significantly differ from the starting population although a trend of decreased aggression was visible. Keywords: selection for male aggression

Transcription profiling of Drosophila subjected to artificial selection on locomotion

Project description:Genes relevant to manifestion of and variation in locomotor behavior might be differentially expressed in lines selected for divergent levels of locomotion. Experiment Overall Design: Drosophila adults were assessed for locomotor reactivity levels in a behavioral assay that quantified the locomotor response to a mechanical stimulus. A subset of the sampled population was selected as parents for the next generation, with High, Low, and Control selection groups maintained. This artificial selection was continued for 25 generations, with a variety of other behavioral and life history traits assessed for correlation with response to selection for locomotion. At generation 25, male and female flies were collected for RNA extraction and subsequent gene expression analysis.

Behavioral and transcriptional response to selection for olfactory behavior in Drosophila

Project description:The detection, discrimination, and behavioral responses to chemical cues in the environment can have marked effects on organismal survival and reproduction, eliciting attractive or aversive behavior. To gain insight into mechanisms mediating this hedonic valence, we applied thirty generations of divergent artificial selection for Drosophila melanogaster olfactory behavior. We independently selected for positive and negative behavioral responses to two ecologically relevant chemical compounds: 2,3-butanedione and cyclohexanone. We also tested the correlated responses to selection by testing behavioral responses to other odorants and life history traits. Measurements of behavioral responses of the selected lines and unselected controls to additional odorants showed that the mechanisms underlying responses to these odorants are, in some cases, differentially affected by selection regime and generalization of the response to other odorants was only detected in the 2,3-butanedione selection lines. Food consumption and lifespan varied with selection regime and, at times, sex. An analysis of gene expression of both selection regimes identified multiple differentially expressed genes. New genes and genes previously identified in mediating olfactory behavior were identified. In particular, we found functional enrichment of several gene ontology terms, including cell-cell adhesion and sulfur compound metabolic process, the latter including genes belonging to the glutathione S-transferase family. These findings highlight a potential role for glutathione S-transferases in the evolution of hedonic valence to ecologically relevant volatile compounds and set the stage for a detailed investigation into mechanisms by which these genes mediate attraction and aversion.

Gene expression profiles underlying aggressive behavior in the prefrontal cortex of cattle

Project description:This study compared gene expression profiles of 16 prefrontal cortex (PFC) samples from aggressive and non-aggressive cattle breeds: Lidia, selected for agonistic responses, and Wagyu, specialized on meat production and selected for tameness. RNA sequencing was used to identify and classify 918 up and 278 down-regulated differentiated expressed genes (DEG). The functional interpretation of the up-regulated genes in the aggressive cohort revealed enrichment of pathways such as the Alzheimer disease-presenilin, integrins or the ERK/MAPK signaling cascade, all implicated in the development of abnormal aggressive behaviors and neurophysiological disorders. Moreover, gonadotropins, leading to testosterone release, are also up-regulated as a natural mechanisms enhancing aggression. Concomitantly, heterotrimeric G-protein pathways, associated with low reactivity mental states, and the GAD2 gene, a repressor of agonistic reactions at the PFC, are down-regulated, guaranteeing the development of the adequate responses required by the aggressive Lidia cattle. We also identified six upstream regulators, whose functional activity fits with the etiology of abnormal behavioral responses associated with aggression.

RNAseq of Anopheles gambiae mosquito lines selected for several generations with different agrochemical mixtures

Project description:Gene expression changes and polymorphisms were investigated in genetically related mosquito lines maintained for 30 generations under four different selection regimes. All mosquito line derived from the same parental line (Anopheles gambiae Tiassale line from Ivory coast). Selection regimes were as follows: i) no selection pressure (Control line), ii) selection at each generation at larval stage with a mixture of insecticides used against agricultural pests (Ins line); iii) selection at each generation at larval stage with a mixture of herbicides and fungicides used on crops (Herb line), iv) selection at each generation at larval stage with a mixture of both insecticides and non-insecticide compounds (compounds ii + iii, Mix line). The transcriptome of each line was sequenced using RNA-seq with four replicates per condition.

Transcriptomic cell types of ventromedial hypothalamus in female mouse: 10x cells

Project description:The ventrolateral subdivision of the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMHvl) is essential for innate social behaviors including aggression and mating in female mice at different reproductive states. However, the female VMHvl transcriptomes in different reproducive states and their relationship behavioral functions are unknown. We performed single-cell RNA 10x sequencing and investigated correspondence between transcriptomic identity in different reproductive states and behavioral activation. Immediate early gene analysis from our Act-seq dataset identified that distinct T-types function in female aggression and mating behaviors.

Sex-specific social behavior and amygdala proteomic deficits in Foxp2+/- mutant mice

Project description:In humans, mutations in the transcription factor encoding gene, FOXP2, are associated with language and Autism Spectrum (ASD) Disorders, the latter characterized by deficits in social interactions. However, little is known regarding the function of Foxp2 in male or female social behavior. Our previous studies in mice revealed high expression of Foxp2 within the medial subnucleus of the amygdala (MeA), a limbic brain region highly implicated in innate social behaviors such as mating, aggression, and parental care. Here, using a comprehensive panel of behavioral tests in male and female Foxp2+/- heterozygous mice, we investigated the role Foxp2 plays in MeA-linked innate social behaviors. We reveal significant deficits in olfactory processing, social interaction, mating, aggressive and parental behaviors. Interestingly, some of these deficits displayed in a sex-specific manner. To examine the consequences of Foxp2 loss of function specifically in the MeA, we conducted a proteomic analysis of microdissected MeA tissue and found sex differences in a host of proteins implicated in neuronal communication, connectivity and dopamine signaling. Consistent with this, we discovered that MeA Foxp2-lineage cells were responsive to dopamine with differences between males and females. Thus, our findings reveal a central and sex-specific role for Foxp2 in social behavior and MeA function.
