Project description:In Drosophila melanogaster, Btk29A displays a dynamic pattern of expression through the embryonic to adult stages. Complete loss-of function of both splice-forms is lethal, whereas selective absence of the type 2-form reduces the adult lifespan of the fly and causes male genitalial developmental abnormalities. Here, we investigated the role of Btk29A type 2 on a transcriptomic level in the larvae CNS and adult heads. We used samples either selectively defective in Btk29A type 2 (Btk29AficP) or flies were the Btk29A type 2 gene has been reintroduced (ficExc.1-16). Adult heads and larvae CNS were dissected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:A new online resource (flyatlas.org) provides the most comprehensive view yet of expression in multiple tissues of Drosophila. Meta-analysis of the data reveals that a significant fraction ofthe genome is expressed with great tissue specificity in the adult, demonstrating the need for the functional genomic community to embrace a wider range of functional phenotypes. Well-known developmental genes are often re-used in surprising tissues in the adult, suggesting new functions. The homologues of many human genetic disease loci show selective expression in Drosophila tissues with function analogous to the affected tissues in the cognate human disease, providing a useful filter for potential candidate genes. Experiment Overall Design: FlyAtlas is composed of data covering 8 distinct adult tissues (brain, head, midgut, Malpighian tubules,hindgut, testis, ovary, male accessory glands) so far, together with two larval tissues (tubule, fat body), each run with 4 replicates on Affymetrix Dros Genome 2 chips (with probesets for 18770 transcripts), and compared with a matched whole-fly sample.

Project description:Overexpression of Atg1 using either weaker CGGAL4 or stronger HRGAL4 driver. Both drivers have same expression pattern and are specific for intestine, Malpighian tubules and fat body of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Weaker Atg1 overexpression results in longer lifespan whereas stronger Atg1 overexpression shortens lifespan compared to controls. Overexpressor lines were combined with tubGAL80ts, which is a temperature sensitive GAL4 repressor. This enabled induction of Atg1 overexpression in day-2 adult fly, thereby bypassing development and any potential developmental effects that Atg1 might have. Fly eggs of appropriate genotype were raised under standard density at 18C and then emerged flies were switched to 27C at day 2 of adulthood for Atg1 overexpression, and were kept at 27C onwards for longevity analyses. Dissected tissue was collected for the transcriptomic analysis at two weeks of age.

Project description:modENCODE_submission_5520 This submission comes from a modENCODE project of David MacAlpine. For full list of modENCODE projects, see http://www.genome.gov/26524648 Project Goal: Most terminally differentiated Drosophila tissues are either polyploid or polytene. Unlike normal chromosomes, where the entire chromosome must be replicated exactly once, polytene chromosomes are often differentially replicated with many regions underreplicated and some overreplicated. We will characterize five different polytene tissues using comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) to identify differentially replicated regions of each chromosome. These studies will also identify tissue specific amplicons, where the replication mediated amplification of specific loci is essential for up-regulation of mRNA levels encoding proteins critical for development. The differential replication of polytene chromosomes in Drosophila will provide a unique opportunity to understand how developmental cues and chromosomal domains influence replication initiation.

Project description:Here we show that MIWI is a small RNA-guided ribonuclease (Slicer) that requires extensive complementarity for target cleavage in vitro. Disruption of its catalytic activity in mice by a single point mutation results in male infertility and displays increased accumulation of LINE1 transposon transcripts. Round spermatids were purified from adult mouse testes of indicated Miwi genotypes. Total RNA was extracted and subjected to microarray analysis for gene expression profiling.

Project description:To elucidate the role(s) of WNT/CTNNB1 signaling in the testis, transgenic Ctnnb1 tm1Mmt/+;Amhr2 tm3(cre)Bhr/+ mice were generated to obtain sustained activation of the WNT/CTNNB1 pathway in Sertoli cells. Male Ctnnb1 tm1Mmt/+;Amhr2 tm3(cre)Bhr/+ mice were sterile because of testicular atrophy starting at 5 wk of age, associated with degeneration of seminiferous tubules and the progressive loss of germ cells. Sustained WNT/CTNNB1 pathway activation was obtained in Ctnnb1 tm1Mmt/+;Amhr2 tm3(cre)Bhr/+ Sertoli cells. Sertoli cells often exhibited morphological characteristics suggestive of incomplete differentiation that appeared in a manner coincident with germ cell loss, accompanied by an increase in the expression of the immature Sertoli cell marker AMH. Microarray analyses performed on cultured Sertoli cells showed that CTNNB1 induces the expression of genes associated with the female sex determination pathway as well as cell-cycle associated genes . Together, these data suggest that the WNT/CTNNB1 pathway regulates Sertoli cell functions critical to their capacity to support spermatogenesis and to proliferate in the postnatal testis. Sertoli cells were obtained from 3wks-old Ctnnb1(tm1Mmt/tm1Mmt) mice. Cells were infected with adenoviruses to express eGFP or Cre in serum-free medium, and subsequently harvested for RNA extraction. Preliminary experiments demonstrated that an infection efficiency of nearly 100% could be obtained at an MOI of 50 (as determined by analysis of fluorescent signal in Ad-eGFP-infected cells) and that the Ad-Cre virus produced complete recombination of the floxed Ctnnb1 allele after 12 hours. Microaaray analyses were done using triplicate RNA samples from each adenoviral treatment using MouseRef-6 v.2.0 expression BeadChips technology (Illumina, San Diego, CA).

Project description:Ticks (Acari: Ixodida) feed exclusively on blood which lacks essential nutrients such as vitamins and cofactors. These deficiencies are presumably complemented through specific symbiotic microorganisms such as Coxiella – Like Endosymbionts (CLEs) of Rhipicephalus ticks. CLE are localized in specialized host tissue cells within the Malpighian tubules (Mt) and the ovaries (Ov) from which they are maternally transmitted to developing oocytes. These two organs differ in function and cell types, and possibly also in activities performed by CLE occupants. To get insights into CLE functions within these two organs, we used comparative proteomics of CLEs in Mt and Ov of unfed R. sanguineus ticks

Project description:Mammalian spermatogenesis is a complex biological process that occurs within a highly organized tissue, the seminiferous epithelium. The coordinated maturation of spermatogonia, spermatocytes and spermatids suggests the existence of precise programs of gene expression in these cells as well as in their neighboring somatic Sertoli cells. The objective of this study was to elucidate genes encoding the proteins that execute these programs. Rat seminiferous tubules at stages I, II-III, IV-V, VI, VIIa,b, VIIc,d, VIII, IX-XI, XII, XIII-XIV of the cycle were isolated by microdissection and Sertoli cells, spermatogonia plus early spermatocytes, pachytene spermatocytes and spermatids were purified from enzymatically-dispersed testes. Microarray analysis using Rat Genome 230 2.0 arrays identified a total of 16,971 probe sets that recognized transcripts. A comparison with the transcriptome of other tissues identified 398 testis-specific probe sets, which therefore are potential targets for the development of new contraceptives. Sequential waves of cell and stage-specific gene expression are associated with progression of germ cells through the stages of the cycle of the seminiferous epithelium and 1612 probe sets recognized transcripts whose expressions varied at least 4-fold across the stages of the cycle. Pathway analyses reveal that entire biological processes are regulated cyclically in testicular cells. Important among these are cell cycle and DNA repair. Thus, stage-specific gene expression is a widespread and fundamental characteristic of spermatogenic cells and Sertoli cells. Experiment Overall Design: Seminiferous tubules at the following stages or groups of stages were isolated by transillumination-assisted microdissection: I, II-III, IV-V, VI, VIIa,b, VIIc,d, VIII, IX-XI, XII, XIII-XIV. Twenty-five segments of tubules, 2 m in length, were collected at each stage or group of stages from each rat. Tubules from two separate animals were pooled to form one sample from each stage or groups of stages. A total of 5 independent samples per stage or groups of stages were analyzed. Mature Sertoli cells were isolated to about 85% purity (n=4). Three groups of germ cells were isolated by centrifugal elutriation from enzyme-dispersed testes: round spermatids (n=4), pachytene spermatocytes (n=4) and spermatogonia plus early spermatocytes (n=3) . Purity of these cells has been shown to vary between 85% to 95%
