Gene expression in the embryonic serosa of Anopheles gambiae

ABSTRACT: Whole-genome transcriptome assays were performed with isolated serosa from A. gambiae embryos. These assays identified a large number of genes implicated in the production of the larval cuticle. In D. melanogaster, these genes are activated just once during embryogenesis, during late stages where they are used for the production of the larval cuticle. Evidence is presented that the serosal cells secrete a dedicated serosal cuticle, which protects A. gambiae embryos from desiccation.

Developmental time course of gene expression in Anopheles gambiae embryo

Project description:In order to examine the gene expression in the course of mosquito embryogenesis, microarray assays were performed on staged A. gambiae embryos, from fertilization to 52 hours of development (which is close to hatching at ~50 hours post-fertilization). RNA was extracted from staged embryos roughly every three hours after fertilization, and then hybridized to the A. gambiae transcriptome microarray. Keywords: time-course

A Microarray-based Analysis of Transcriptional Compartmentalization in the Alimentary Canal of Anopheles gambiae

Project description:Although the basic anatomical sub-divisions of the larval mosquito gut were established several decades ago, information regarding their exact physiological roles is rather scarce. Several studies have reported differences between larval gut compartments in various morphological and physiological aspects. Unfortunately, the fragmentary and incomplete nature of this information makes it hard to establish clear links to the specific and/or unique physiological roles of each gut region. In this study, we attempted to identify transcripts significantly enriched in each gut section of the 4th instar Anopheles gambiae larva. We took advantage of a commercially-available microarray platform containing ~14,000 different An. gambiae transcripts (Affymetrix GeneChip® Plasmodium/Anopheles array, Affymetrix Inc., Santa Clara, CA). Based on the information obtained, we discuss the putative physiological roles of each major compartment of the larval gut, and identify potential new targets for larval control strategies. Keywords: tissue comparison

Experiment Overall Design: We attempted to identify transcripts significantly enriched in each gut section of the 4th instar Anopheles gambiae larva. Signal intensities of transcripts from each gut section were compared to those of a matching group of whole 4th instar larvae using t-tests. Transcripts showing an intensity value two-fold or higher (p < 0.05) in each gut section as compared to whole larvae were considered to be significantly enriched.

Proteomics reveals localization of cuticular proteins in Anopheles gambiae

Project description:Anopheles gambiae devotes over 2% of its protein coding genes to its 298 structural cuticular proteins (CPs). This paper provides new LC-MS/MS data on two adult structures, probosces and palps, as well as three larval samples: 4th instar larvae, just their terminal segment, and a preparation enriched in their tracheae. These data were combined with our previously published results of proteins from four other adult structures: whole adults, two preparations chosen for their relatively clean cuticle, the larval head capsules left behind after ecdysis, and the pupal cuticles left behind after adult eclosion. Peptides from 28 CPs were recovered in all adult structures; 24 CPs were identified for the first time, 6 were members of the TWDL family. Most newly identified proteins came from the larval sources. Based solely on peptide recovery, from our data and from other investigators mostly available on VectorBase, there were only 5 CPs that were restricted to a single structure. More were restricted to a single metamorphic stage, 14 in larvae, 0 in pupa and 31 in adults. Expression data from our earlier RT-qPCR studies reduces these numbers. Charting restriction of CPs to stage or structure is a step forward in establishing their specific roles.

Transcriptome analysis of virgin and mated Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles albimanus

Project description:We custom-built a bioinformatics pipeline to search for 20E-modifying enzymes in the accessory glands of Anopheles gambiae males, searching for ecdysteroid kinases (EcK), ecdysone oxidases (EO), and ecdysteroid-phosphate phosphatases (EPP). To this end, we generated RNAseq datasets of different An. gambiae tissues dissected from virgin and mated females and males, and produced similar datasets for Anopheles albimanus, a South American species that does not synthetize and transfer ecdysteroids during mating. These analyses led to the identification of one candidate EPP and two potential EcKs (EcK1 and EcK2), which we demonstrated are involved in the activity of a male-specific oxidized ecdysteroid (3D20E). We further determined that 3D20E is specifically produced by the An. gambiae male accessory glands and is transferred to females during copulation, where it triggers a series of post-mating responses.

The salivary transcriptome of Anopheles gambiae (Diptera: Culicidae) larvae: A microarrray-based study

Project description:In spite of the many recent developments in the field of vector sialomics, the salivary glands of larvalmosquitoes have been largely unexplored. We used whole-transcriptome microarray analysis to create a gene-expression profile of the salivary gland tissue of fourth-instar Anopheles gambiae larvae, and compare it to the gene-expression profile of a matching group of whole larvae. We identified a total of 221 probes with expression values that were (a) significantly enriched in the salivary glands, and (b)sufficiently annotated as to allow the prediction of the presence/absence of signal peptides in their corresponding gene products. Based on available annotation of the protein sequences associated with these probes, we propose that the main roles of larval salivary secretions include: (a) immune response, (b) mouthpart lubrication, (c) nutrient metabolism, and (d) xenobiotic detoxification. Other highlights of the study include the cloning of a transcript encoding a previously unknown salivary defensin (AgDef5), the confirmation of mucus secretion by the larval salivary glands, and the first report of salivary lipocalins in the Culicidae.
