Laboratory mice housed in the natural environment identifies genetic and environmental contributions to immune variation

ABSTRACT: The relative contribution of genetic and environmental factors to variation in immune response is still poorly understood. Here, we performed a deep phenotypic analysis of immunological parameters and molecular profiles of laboratory mice released into an outdoor enclosure, carrying genetic susceptibility genes (Nod2 and Atg16l1) implicated in the development of inflammatory bowel diseases. Differences in lymphocyte populations were largely driven by the lab and wild environment. However, cytokine production after stimulation with microbial antigens showed a stronger genetic component in the lab, which was reduced after exposure to the wild environment. Multi-omic models identified key transcriptional factors associated with lymphocyte changes predictive of the environment, as well as sub-networks associated with cytokine responses against Candida albicans and Bacteroides vulgatus. Hence, exposing laboratory mice of different genetic backgrounds to the outdoor environment may identify important contributors to immune variation.

Genetic and Environmental interactions contribute to immune variation in rewilded mice

Project description:The relative and synergistic contributions of genetics and environment to inter-individual immune response variation remain unclear, despite its implications for understanding both evolutionary biology and medicine. We used single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to quantify the interactive effects of genotype and environment on immune traits by investigating three inbred mouse sttrain rewilded in an outdoor enclosure and infected with the parasite, Trichuris muris

Comparative transcriptome analysis of wild and lab populations of Astyanax mexicanus uncovers differential effects of environment and morphotype on gene expression

Project description:Studying how different genotypes respond to environmental variation is essential to understand the genetic basis of adaptation. The Mexican tetra, Astyanax mexicanus, has cave and surface‐dwelling morphotypes that have adapted to entirely different environments in the wild, and are now successfully maintained in lab conditions. While this has enabled the identification of genetic adaptations underlying a variety of physiological processes, few studies have directly compared morphotypes between lab‐reared and natural populations. Such comparative approaches could help dissect the varying effects of environment and morphotype, and determine the extent to which phenomena observed in the lab are generalizable to conditions in the field. To this end, we take a transcriptomic approach to compare the Pachón cavefish and their surface fish counterparts in their natural habitats and the lab environment. We identify key changes in expression of genes implicated in metabolism and physiology between groups of fish, suggesting that morphotype (surface or cave) and environment (natural or lab) both alter gene expression. We find gene expression differences between cave and surface fish in their natural habitats are much larger than differences in expression between morphotypes in the lab environment. However, lab‐raised cave and surface fish still exhibit numerous gene expression changes, supporting genetically encoded changes in livers of this species. From this, we conclude that a controlled laboratory environment may serve as an ideal setting to study the genetic underpinnings of metabolic and physiological differences between the cavefish and surface fish.

Transcription profiling by array of the brains of bees showing scout and non-scout behaviour

Project description:Scouts and non-scouts (recruits) were collected by using a novelty-seekingM-^] assay. Experiment was conducted in a large outdoor screened enclosure, which enabled us to exert complete control over the location and number of food resources while at the same time studying naturalistic honey bee foraging behavior. Foragers were first trained to a color-marked training feederM-^] that contained unscented 50% sucrose solution (m/v); this initially was the only food source available to them. After 2-3 days of training, a novel feederM-^] was set up in another location in the enclosure, with different color markings and an odor cue. The training feeder was maintained, providing the bees with two possible foraging locations, a familiar and a novel. Scouts were identified as bees that switched foraging from the training feeder to the novel feeder; only bees seen foraging at the novel feeder two or more times and at least once at the training feeder were collected as scouts. Non-scouts (recruits) were collected at the end of the experiments; these were bees that continued to forage at the training feeder, and were never observed to switch to the novel feeder.
