Project description:We performed RNA-seq analysis to identify genes whose expression is regulted or influenced by TGF-beta/Activin signaling in Drosophila larval skeletal muscle. We used two sample sets. One is composed of wild-type and smox (the sole R-smad of TGF-beta/Activin signaling in Drosophila). The other is composed of control and larvae of muscle-specific expression of activated Baboo (Type I receptor). By comparing differential expressions from these two sets, we were able to identify genes whose expression is regulated by TGF-beta/Activin pathway in the skeletal muscle of Drosophila larvae.

Project description:Intracellular Ca2+ release through the Inositol 1,4,5-Triphosphate Receptor (InsP3R) is a feature of all multicellular organisms in which it shapes the temporal and spatial aspects of calcium signaling in cells, affecting several developmental and physiological processes. Mutants in the InsP3R gene of Drosophila (itpr) exhibit a range of defects which include growth defects and larval lethality.The Drosophila Insulin-like peptides (ILPs) are encoded by multigene families that are expressed in the brain and other tissues. Upon secretion, these peptides likely serve as hormones, neurotransmitters, and growth factors. In Drosophila melanogaster, molecular genetic studies have revealed Drosophila ILPs as elements of a conserved insulin signaling pathway, and as in other animal models, it appears to play a key role in metabolism, growth, reproduction, and aging. Previous work from our group has shown that InsP3R function can be rescued by ectopically expressing InsP3R in dilp cells or can be compensated by altering the activity of Sarco-Endoplasmic Reticulum Calcium-ATPase (SERCA). To understand the molecular basis of larval lethality and growth defect in Drosophila InsP3R mutants and to decipher possible cross talk of itpr gene with other signaling pathways we have carried out genome wide microarray experiments. We have compared the transcript profiles of i) itpr mutant larvae and wild type larvae, ii) dilp rescue larvae with itpr mutant larvae iii) itpr and SERCA double mutant larvae with itpr mutant larvae. By this we have identified genes whose levels are altered in itpr mutants and are restored towards wild type in dilp rescue larvae with itpr mutant larvae and itpr and SERCA double mutants. Our experiments help in identify genes that are regulated by changes in intracellular Ca2+ in the context of larval viability may contribute to the better understanding of the major human pathologies caused by calcium misbalance or by dysregulation of the insulin/IGF pathway.

Project description:We use mRNA-seq to transcriptionally profile larval fat body and midgut tissues from Drosophila third instar larvae. These data provide insights into tissue physiology and can be used to identify tissue specific transcripts. Fat bodies from wandering third instar larvae were dissected from ~50 male larvae and gonads were removed to eliminate contaminating transctips from the gonads. Larval midguts were dissected from ~50 wandering third instar larvae. Larval tissues were removed to Graces unsupplemented medium on ice prior to RNA extraction with TRIzol reagent. mRNA-seq samples were prepared from 5ug of total RNA and subject to Illumina based sequencing.

The 8x60k array AMADID: 27326 slide was scanned immediately by PerkinElmer Scan array Gx Microarray scanner. The Scan array software (PerkinElmer) was used for grid wise normalization of array images. Three were used with Mutant, three for Dilp Rescue and two for Kum Rescue experiments . The data was analysed by GeneSpring GX Agilent . The differential expression was considered if the Log 2 mean of at least -1 for the down regulated genes and +1 for the upregulated genes. We considered only the genes that were reproducible from biological triplicates for Mutant, biological treplicates for Dilp Rescue and biological duplicates for Kum Rescue.

Project description:Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) was applied to identify and characterise macrophage subsets that responded to larval zebrafish muscle injury. The Tg(mpeg1:mCherry) transgenic zebrafish line was utilised to isolate mCherry-expressing macrophages by FACS. Following needle-stab muscle injury of a 4 days post fertilisation (dpf) larvae, the wound site was dissected out at 1, 2, and 3 days post injury (dpi) for macrophage isolation. Macrophages isolated from 4 dpf-uninjured larvae were also included. This analysis led to the identification of 8 discrete clusters of macrophages, one of which corresponded to uninjured macrophages. The 7 wound-present macrophage subsets highlighted greater macrophage heterogeneity than previously described in an in vivo skeletal muscle injury context.

Project description:The major environmental determinants of honeybee caste development come from larval nutrients: royal jelly stimulates the differentiation of larvae into queens, whereas beebread leads to worker bee fate. However, these determinants are not fully characterized. Here we report that plant RNAs, particularly miRNAs, which are more enriched in beebread than in royal jelly, delay development and decrease body and ovary size in honeybees, thereby preventing larval differentiation into queens and inducing development into worker bees. Mechanistic studies reveal that amTOR, a stimulatory gene in caste differentiation, is the direct target of miR162a. Interestingly, the same effect also exists in non-social Drosophila. When such plant RNAs and miRNAs are fed to Drosophila larvae, they cause extended developmental times and reductions in body weight and length, ovary size and fecundity. This study identifies an uncharacterized function of plant miRNAs that fine-tunes honeybee caste development, offering hints for understanding cross-kingdom interaction and coevolution.

Project description:Organisms need to co-ordinate growth with development particularly in the context of nutrient availability. Thus, multiple ways have evolved to survive extrinsic nutrient deprivation during development. In the holometabolous insect Drosophila, growth occurs during larval development. Larvae are therefore critically dependent on nutritional inputs for pupariation. Post critical weight however, they pupariate even when starved. How nutrient availability is coupled to the internal metabolic state for the decision to pupariate in not well understood and needs better understanding. Wild type larvae, when subjected to nutrient deprivation as mid-third instar larvae, pupariate and also emerge as adults, even though smaller than normally fed ones (Jayakumar et al., 2016; Megha and Hasan, 2017). A recent study (Jayakumar et al., 2016) identified a neuronal circuit that enables wild-type larvae to survive protein deprivation and pupariate. IP3R function in a subset of glutamatergic neurons is a crucial part of the circuit. However, the cellular role of IP3R in these neurons is not understood. In Drosophila neurons, the IP3R causes and facilitates store-operated calcium entry (Chakraborty et al., 2016; Venkiteswaran and Hasan, 2009). Thus it is likely, that the IP3R also regulates expression of genes that regulate this phenomenon. In this study, we have compared the gene expression profiles of control and itpr knockdown larval brains to identify genes that act downstream of the IP3R to regulate pupariation under nutrition stress.
