Project description:In prospective human exploration of outer space, the need to maintain a species over several generations under changed gravity conditions may arise. This paper reports the analysis of the third generation of fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster obtained during the 44.5-day space flight (Foton-M4 satellite, 2014, Russia), followed by the fourth generation on Earth and the fifth generation under conditions of a 12-day space flight (2014, in the Russian Segment of the ISS). The obtained results show that it is possible to obtain the third-fifth generations of a complex multicellular Earth organism under changed gravity conditions (in the cycle “weightlessness – Earth – weightlessness”), which preserves fertility and normal development. However, there were a number of changes in the expression levels and content of cytoskeletal proteins that are the key components of the spindle apparatus and the contractile ring of cells.

Project description:Neural crest boundary cap cells were subjected to space flight and compared against controls not subjected to space conditions. The cells were not cultured in a cell incubator during space flight, so one control was the same cells kept outside incubator for the same time. One control was cells cultured during standard conditions. One control was subjected to short pulses of artificial microgravity on earth and one culture was subjected to artificial gravity in the same way as the cells in space.

Project description:We differentiated mouse bone marrow cells in the presence of recombinant macrophage colony stimulating (rM-CSF) factor for 14 days during the flight of space shuttle Space Transportation System (STS)-126. We tested the hypothesis that the receptor expression for M-CSF, c-Fms was reduced. We used flow cytometry to assess molecules on cells that were preserved during flight to define the differentiation state of the developing bone marrow macrophages; including CD11b, CD31, CD44, Ly6C, Ly6G, F4/80, Mac2, c-Fos as well as c-Fms. In addition, RNA was preserved during the flight and was used to perform a gene microarray. We found that there were significant differences in the number of macrophages that developed in space compared to controls maintained on Earth. We found that there were significant changes in the distribution of cells that expressed CD11b, CD31, F4/80, Mac2, Ly6C and c-Fos. However, there were no changes in c-Fms expression and no consistent pattern of advanced or retarded differentiation during space flight. We also found a pattern of transcript levels that would be consistent with a relatively normal differentiation outcome but increased proliferation by the bone marrow macrophages that were assayed after 14 days of space flight. There also was a surprising pattern of space flight influence on genes of the coagulation pathway. These data confirm that a space flight can have an impact on the in vitro development of macrophages from mouse bone marrow cells. MESH:Space Flight/Space Flight

Project description:Jurkat T cells have been fixated at different gravity conditions during the 4th Swiss Parabolic Flight Campaign (4SPFC). 1g inflight samples were generated by crosslinking 5 minutes prior to onset of the first parabola. Hypg samples were generated by crosslinking the samples at the end of the first hypergravity 1.8 g phase, 20 seconds after start of the parabola. µg/0g samples were generated by crosslinking the cells 20 seconds after the onset of microgravity during the first parabola. A ground control reference condition was generated by crosslinking cells that were stored inside the flight hardware but were not onboard during the flight.

Project description:R. rubrum S1H inoculated on solid minimal media was sent to the ISS in September 2006 (BASE-A experiment). After 10 days flight, R. rubrum cultures returned back to Earth. These cultures were then subjected to both transcriptomic and proteomic analysis and compared with the corresponding ground control. Whole-genome oligonucleotide microarray and high throughput proteomics, which offer the possibility to survey respectively the global transcriptional and translational response of an organism, were used to test the effect of space flight. Moreover, in an effort to identify a specific stress response of R. rubrum to space flight, ground simulation of space ionizing radiation and space gravity were performed under identical culture setup and growth conditions encountered during the actual space journey. This study is unique in combining the results from an actual space experiment with the corresponding space ionizing radiation and modeled microgravity ground simulations, which lead to a more solid dissection of the different factors contribution acting in space flight conditions. Total RNA was extracted from R. rubrum S1H grown after 10 days in space flight or after 10 days in simulated ionizing radiation or simulated microgravity. Each microarray slide contained 3 technical repeats.

Project description:Euglena gracilis is a unicellular freshwater flagellate, which uses the gravitational vector for orientation in the water column in the dark. This allows the cell to reach areas in the water column for reproduction and growth. How exactly the gravitational vector is perceived, and which intracellular pathways are involved in the signaling is not very well understood so far. In the past, parabolic flight campaigns were used to study the swimming behavior of Euglena gracilis under altered gravitational accelerations. It was shown that cells adapt their swimming direction very fast: in the dark under 1xg cell show negative gravitaxis, i.e. they move upwards in the water column of the experiment hardware and against the gravitational vector. With onset of the first hypergravity period of 1.8xg the precision of upward swimming increases slightly. This first hyper gravity lasts for only 20 seconds and is followed by 22 sec of microgravity. During this period no gravitational vector is perceived by the cells, therefore they lack a cue for orientation and move randomly in all direction. In the subsequent hyper gravity period of 1.8xg, which also lasts for 20 sec, cells direct their movement again and swim upwards. Over different parabolic flight campaigns and other experiments it was shown that this gravitactic behavior is linked to changes in membrane potential, calcium and cAMP concentration. However, due to the lack of genomic and transcriptomic data, it was so far not possible to link the differential movement to the abundance of distinct mRNA transcripts. In contrast, other model organisms, such as Arabidopsis thaliana, have been analyzed by means of gene expression with respect to the effects of altered gravitational accelerations. Also various human cell lines have shown to adapt their gene expression in dependence of the prevailing acceleration. With the recently published Euglena gracilis transcriptome, we now aimed at analyzing effects of altered acceleration on the gene expression in the flagellate. Therefore, Euglena gracilis samples were taken in the course of the 29th DLR parabolic flight campaign during parabola 1 and 31 (time difference of 2 hours and 30 additional parabolas). During both parabolas samples were fixed with TRIzol at 1xg just before onset of the first hyper gravity period, 20 sec into hyper gravity (1.8xg), 20 sec into microgravity (µg) and 20 sec into the last hypergravity period.
