RNA-seq profiling of BAG neurons in C. elegans npr-1 and npr-1;arcp-1 animals


ABSTRACT: The extent to which behavior is shaped by experience varies between individuals. Genetic differences contribute to this variation but the neural mechanisms are not understood. In this study, we identify a natural genetic variant of the dendritic scaffolding protein ARCP-1 that modifies individual behavioral flexibility in C. elegans. Disrupting ARCP-1 alters how previous oxygen experience modulates escape behavior in response to carbon dioxide. ARCP-1 normally suppresses CO2 aversion by inhibiting signaling from the BAG CO2-sensing neurons. To further investigate how disrupting ARCP-1 alters BAG function, we specifically labeled these neurons with GFP, used FACS to isolate the fluorescent cells from acutely dissociated arcp-1 mutant and control animals, and profiled their gene expression using RNA-Seq. We find transcriptional changes for a broad range of gene classes and link altered neuropeptide expression to increased CO2 aversion in the arcp-1 mutant.
