Project description:In this RNA-seq study, we compared the antennal transcriptomes of sexually mature drones (males) and time-trained foragers (females) of Apis mellifera collected at different times of day and different activity states. The goals of our project was to provide a more comprehensive description of gene expression differences between drone and forager antennae. Most studies on insect antennal transcriptome still focus on identifying and reporting genes involved in odorant binding and detection. In contrast, we also aimed at identifying so far unrecognised molecules, not directly involved in odorant detection, but likely playing an important role in peripheral olfactory processing. We also wanted to explore whether daily changes in gene expression and correlations between gene expression levels and behavioral activity might be a fruitful approach to identify additional genes involved in odorant reception. Apis mellifera drones perform mating flight in the afternoon around 14:00 hour (h) in Bangalore, India. During their daily mating flight activity, drones were caught at the hive entrance and color marked on the thorax. On the next day color-marked drones were collected at two different time points: 9:00 (inactive) and 14:00 h (active). Honey bee foragers can be trained to visit a food source at a specific time of the day. In this study, an A. mellifera colony was transferred in an enclosed outdoor flight cage to train the foragers to visit a feeder at a specific time of the day. A sucrose reward (1M sucrose solution) was presented either from 8:00 to 10:00 h (morning training) or from 13:00 to 15:00 h (afternoon training) for 10 consecutive days. On the 8th, 9th and 10th day of training, foragers visiting the feeder were marked on their thorax with different colors, one type of color each day, to identify the frequently visiting foragers. On the 11th day, the feeder was not presented and the foragers that had all 3 color marks were collected at 9:00 and 14:00 h. All the samples were immediately flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. Collected samples were transferred from liquid nitrogen onto dry ice and the entire antennae (i.e. scape, pedicel and flagellum) were cut off. We pooled 10 antennae from 5 bees per sample and extracted total RNA using Trizol method. Antennal transcriptomes of drones (n=3 per time point), morning-trained foragers (n=2 per time point) and afternoon-trained foragers (n=2 per time point) were sequenced at 2 different time points (9:00 h and 14:00 h).

Project description:We found in our behavior experiment clearly distinnct olfactory responses in fed vs starved flies in response to differrent odors.To investigate the molecular basis of the starvation mediated olfactory modulation process, we compared gene expression at the level of the antenna and the brain for fed and starved flies. Gene expression in brain and antennae was measured at 0hr and 28 hours starved. Four independent experiments were performed at each time using different flies for each experiment.

Project description:To allow estimation of the complexity and gene expression differences of the antennal transcriptome between sexes as well as between castes, microarrays were designed based on an assembly of A. vollenweideri antennal sequence data from all sexes and castes. The microarrays were hybridized with samples generated from the respecitve antennal tissues, with four independent sample pools per sex and caste. Custom 2x105 k Agilent microarrays (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA) were designed based on the antennal transcriptome data of A.vollenweideri. For all contigs with an identified ORF by automatic annotation, two 60mer oligo probes were designed, with two additional 60mer oligo probes for opposite reading direction for those with unknown ORF, thus resulting in 4 oligo probes per contig. Additionally, we added three 60mer oligo probes for each identified and revised OR coding gene, resulting in a total of 5 oligo probes per OR coding contig. For design and arrangement of the Agilent microarrays, the eArray software (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA) was used. For sex- and caste-specific antennal microarray hybridizations, RNA from antennae of 50 (Males) to 300 (Tiny Workers) individuals was pooled per preparation, and four pools (replicates) each were dissected per sex and caste, respectively. Double purified total RNA was added to Agilent Technologies spike-in RNA and labeld using QuickAmp Amplification kit (Agilent Technologies) and the Kreatech ULS Fluorescent Labeling Kit with cyanine 3-CTP dye following the manufacturer´s instructions. Amplified cRNA samples were used for microarray hybridization, scanned with the Agilent Microarray Scanner and data was extracted from TIFF images with Agilent Feature Extraction software version 9.1. Raw data output files were analyzed using the GeneSpring GX11 and GeneSifter microarray analysis softwares.

Project description:The purpose of this experiment was to compare RNA-seq profiles of adult male and female butterfly chemosensory tissues to identify tissue- and sex-specific differences in gustatory and olfactory gene expression. Three biological replicates per sex were produced from individual Heliconius melpomene rosina butterflies. For the antennal libraries, both antennae were used, for the labial palps + proboscis libraries both labial palps and each proboscis was used, and for the leg libraries all six legs were used.

Project description:The experiment was designed to unravel how endogenous signaling in differentiating hESCs is affected by exogenous factors. RNA-seq of human ES cell lines HUES4 and H1, differentiated for 5 or 7 days towards pancreatic endoderm. The cells were treated with IWP-L6, TGFb1 or both from day 3 and onwards. Vehicle controls were done with 0.1% DMSO.

Project description:To better understand the mechanism by which HES1 regulates pancreas development we took advantage of recent developments in directed differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) to the pancreatic endocrine lineage via a series of progenitor stages (Figure 1 and (Rezania et al., 2014). Using the iCRISPR platform (González et al., 2014), we introduced indels in the HES1 and NEUROG3 genes, either singly or in combination in iCRISPR H1 cells. Using previously described gRNAs (Zhu et al., 2016) to target exon2 of the NEUROG3 gene and exon2 of the HES1 gene we detected by Sanger and RNA-sequencing a 2 bp insertion and a T insertion, respectively, resulting in premature STOP codons in two/multiple clonal cell lines carrying the introduced mutation and the loss of NEUROG3 by immunostaining We then subjected two or more clonal lines of H1-iCRISPR (wildtype), HES1−/−, NEUROG3−/− and HES1−/−NEUROG3−/− (abbreviated H1N3-dKO or H1−/−N3−/−) to differentiation to β-like cells using a modified version of the protocol from Rezania et al. (2014). Marker analysis showed that all cell lines maintained pluripotency (OCT4+) as hESC and were able to differentiate to FOXA2+ and SOX17+ co-positive definitive endoderm (DE, Day 3), PDX1+ cells at the posterior foregut stage (PF, Day 7), to bipotent progenitors marked by PDX1+ and NKX6-1+ at the Pancreatic Endoderm stage (PE, Day 10), and the Endocrine Precursor stage (EP, Day 13)

Project description:The MYC transcription factor is an unstable protein and its turnover is controlled by the ubiquitin system. Ubiquitination enhances MYC-dependent transactivation, but the underlying mechanism remains unresolved. Here we show that proteasomal turnover of MYC is dispensable for recruitment of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), but is required to promote transcriptional elongation at MYC target genes. Degradation of MYC stimulates histone acetylation and recruitment of BRD4 and P-TEFb to target promoters, leading to phosphorylation of RNAPII CTD and the release of elongating RNAPII. In the absence of degradation, the RNA polymerase II-associated factor (PAF) complex associates with MYC via interaction of its CDC73 subunit with a conserved domain in the amino-terminus of MYC ("MYC box I"), suggesting that a MYC/PAF complex is an intermediate in transcriptional activation. Since histone acetylation depends on a second highly conserved domain in MYCs amino-terminus ("MYC box II"), we propose that both domains co-operate to transfer elongation factors onto paused RNAPII. RNA-Seq Experiments were performed in a primary breast epithelial cell line (IMEC).The cell line expressed doxycycline-inducible versions of MYC (WT;Kless,Swap=WTN-KC). Where indicated cells were transfected with siRNAs (siCtrl;siSKP2). Where indicated cells were treaed with the proteasome inhibitor MG132 or EtOH as solvent control. DGE was performed by comparing Dox-treated populations expressing either Dox-inducible MYC or a vector control or comparing Dox-induced cells with EtOH (solvent control) treated cells.
