ABSTRACT: We report the transcriptional profiles obtained by next-generation sequencing (NGS) of FACS-purified cells from the dpp-domain of wing imaginal discs from mid-third instar Drosophila melanogaster larvae. The goals of this study are to compare NGS-derived transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) of dpp-domain cells that have elevated JAK/STAT signaling or elevated Myc expression compared to control cells.
Project description:The molecular mechanisms regulating tissue size represent an unsolved puzzle in developmental biology. One signaling pathway controlling growth of the Drosophila wing is Dpp. Dpp promotes growth via repression of the transcription factor Brinker. The transcriptional targets of Brinker that control cell growth and proliferation, however, are not yet fully elucidated. We report here a genome-wide ChIP-seq of endogenous Brinker from wing imaginal discs. We identify the growth regulator Myc as a target of Brinker and show that Myc together with the microRNA bantam explain a large fraction of the growth inhibition caused by Brinker. This work sheds light on the effector mechanisms by which Dpp signaling controls tissue growth. Identification of Brinker binding sites in Wing imaginal discs cells

Project description:Investigation of intratumor heterogeneity in the scrib¹ mutant wing imaginal discs. Method: Staged scrib¹ wing imaginal discs were dissected and transferred to DPBS. The wing imaginal discs were dissociated in 0.25% Trypsin-EDTA solution at 37 ℃ for 10 min. Cells were then washed in DPBS and passed through 35μm filter before library preparation. Construction of 10x single cell libraries and sequencing on Illumina platform were performed by Novogene.
Project description:In order to analyze the global changes in gene expression resulting from induction of NetA-Fra signaling, we carried out a microarray experiment comparing Drosophila third instar wing imaginal discs in which Net+Fra had been overexpressed to age matched wild type wing imaginal discs. RNA extracted from both +NetA-Fra overexpression and wildtype third instar imaginal discs were hybridized to the Affymetrix GeneChip Drosophila Genome 2.0 .
Project description:We have conducted ChIP-Seq of H3K4me1/H3K27ac in order to perform a comparative study between wing imaginal discs and eye imaginal discs from Drosophila melanogaster.

RNA extracted from both +NetA-Fra overexpression and wildtype third instar imaginal discs were hybridized to the Affymetrix GeneChip Drosophila Genome 2.0 . Heat shock induced GFP-marked clones ectopically expressing NetA+Fra in larvae were generated. Controls for this study included age matched wildtype third instar wing imaginal discs bearing GFP clones which were prepared in the same manner. Total RNA was extracted from dissected +NetA-Fra vs. control third instar wing imaginal discs and hybridized to the Affymetrix GeneChip Drosophila Genome 2.0.

Project description:During the last larval stage (L3) of Drosophila melanosgaster development, wing imaginal discs undergo tremendous growth and initiate differentiation programs. This transcriptomic time course aims at uncovering the the genes that are temporally regulated during the L3 in wing imaginal discs to regulate the dynamics of growth and differentiation.
