Sex-specific mRNA and miRNA expression data from Drosophila larvae, pupae and adults [miRNA]

ABSTRACT: Sex differences in gene expression throughout development are poorly understood, especially sex-specific expression of micro RNAs. However these patterns of gene expression could have important implications in our understanding of the underlying mechanics of sex differentiation and sexual conflict. We extract mRNA and miRNA from male and female Drosophila melanogaster from three developmental timepoints, third larval instar, pupae and adults, and examine gene expression using microarrays. We found a large number of sex-biased mRNA transcripts at each stage of development, whereas sex-biased miRNA expression was low in larvae and pupae and more prevalent in adults. We isolated 2 biological replicates of each sex at each of the three developmental timepoints and extracted mRNA and miRNA from each sample, creating 12 samples of each type of RNA which were ran on GeneChip Drosophila Genome 2.0 Affymetrix microarrays to examine mRNA expression, and GeneChip miRNA 3.0 Affymetrix microarrays to examine miRNA expression.

Sex-biased expression in heads of three Drosophila species

Project description:Investigation of sex-biased expression across species have relied on measurements from whole flies which sample the extensive expression differences found in the germline and gonads of females and males. We wanted to examine genes with sex-biased expression in a somatic tissue to analyze patterns of genes with sex-biased expression in the context of a tissue more phenotypically similar between females and males. We used a Nimblegen microarray designed for Drosophila melanogaster and two custom micoarrays designed for D. pseudoobscura and D. mojavensis to survey gene expression differences in heads of females and males. PolyA+ mRNA was isolated in quadruplicate from dissected heads of 8 day old adult females and males. Female and male mRNA were labeled with Cy3 or Cy5 dyes separately and co-hybridized to species-specific microarrays. We analyzed a total of 24 channels of data.

Sex-, stage-, and tissue-specific alternative splicing in Drosophila melanogaster

Project description:We used long-oligonucleotide microarrays to investigate whether alternative splicing in Drosophila is regulated in a sex-, stage-, or tissue-specific manner. To examine sex-specific splicing, we compared gene expression profiles of male and female pupae 12 hours after pupariation. To examine stage-specific splicing, we compared expression profiles of mixed-sex, 0-24 hour old embryos and mixed-sex, 12 hour old pupae. To examine tissue-specific splicing, we compared expression profiles of adult male heads and abdomens 24-48 hours after eclosion. To examine tissue-specific splicing, we compared expression profiles of adult male heads and abdomens at 24-48 hours after eclosion. Keywords: tissue-specific expression profiles Drosophila isogenic line WI89 was used. Mixed-sex, mixed-stage embryos were harvested from plates on which females had been allowed to oviposit for 24 hours. To obtain synchronized cohorts of pupae, male and female white prepupae were collected at 0-1 hour after pupariation and aged for 12 hours at 25C. Mixed-sex pupal samples were generated by mixing equal amount of male and female pupal RNA. Adult heads and abdomens were dissected from 24-48 hour old males. mRNA was isolated and labeled without amplification.

Sex-Dependent Changes of miRNA Levels in the Hippocampus of Adrenalectomized Rats Following Acute Corticosterone Administration

Project description:We explored sex-biased effects of the primary stress glucocorticoid hormone corticosterone on the miRNA expression profile in the rat hippocampus. Adult adrenalectomized (ADX) female and male rats received a single corticosterone (10 mg/kg) or vehicle injection and after 6 h, hippocampi were collected for miRNA, mRNA and Western blot analyses. miRNA profiling microarrays showed a basal sex-biased miRNA profile in ADX rat hippocampi. Additionally, acute corticosterone administration triggered a sex-biased differential expression of miRNAs derived from genes located in several chromosomes and clusters on the X and 6 chromosomes. Putative promoter analysis unveiled that most corticosterone-responsive miRNA genes contained motifs for either direct or indirect glucocorticoid actions in both sexes. The evaluation of transcription factors indicated that almost 50 % of miRNA genes sensitive to corticosterone in both sexes was under glucocorticoid receptor regulation. Transcription factor-miRNA regulatory network analyses identified several transcription factors that regulate, activate or repress miRNA expression. Validated target mRNA analysis of corticosterone-responsive miRNAs showed a more complex miRNA-mRNA interaction network in males compared to females. Enrichment analysis revealed that several hippocampal-relevant pathways were affected in both sexes, such as neurogenesis and neurotrophin signaling. The evaluation of selected miRNA targets from these pathways displayed a strong sex difference in the hippocampus of ADX-vehicle rats. Corticosterone treatment did not change the levels of the miRNA targets and their corresponding tested proteins. Our data indicate that corticosterone exerts a sex-biased effect on hippocampal miRNA expression, which may engage in sculpting the basal sex differences observed at higher levels of hippocampal functioning.

Effects of ploidy and sex-locus genotype on gene expression patterns in the fire ant Solenopsis invicta [pupa]

Project description:In Hymenoptera, sex is determined by a single-locus complementary sex determining system (sl-CSD). Males are normally haploid (hemizygous at the sl-CSD locus) but if the genotype of the sl-CSD locus is homozygous, they develop into diploid males. Here, we study the effects of ploidy and the sl-CSD-locus genotype by comparing gene expression differences between haploid males, diploid males and virgin queens at three developmental stages, pupae, 1 day and 11 days after eclosion. Keywords: diploid males, sl-CSD, ploidy-spcific gene, sex-specific gene, doublesex, sex-biased gene Six-condition experiment: haploid male pupae, diploid male pupae, queen pupae, 1-day-old haploid male adults, 1-day-old diploid male adults, 1-day-old queen adults (accession number GSM1031732 - GSM1031734, GSM1031737 - GSM1031738, GSM1031740 - GSM1031742, GSM1031745 - GSM1031746; reprocessed for this study), 11-day-old haploid male adults, 11-day-old diploid male adults, 11-day-old queen adults (accession number GSM1031748 - GSM1031750, GSM1031753 - GSM1031754, GSM1031756 - GSM1031758, GSM1031761 - GSM1031762; reprocessed for this study). Biological replicates: 5 colonies (x 2 genotypes for each colony). Samples were labeled with Cy3 and were compared to the same common reference RNA labeled with Cy5.
