Dissecting tissue-specific transcriptional response to 20E in Drosophila by E23 expression

ABSTRACT: Transcriptional activation by 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) in Drosophila provides an excellent model for studying tissue-specific response to steroids. An increase in 20E titer controls degradation of larval and proliferation of adult tissues during metamorphosis. To study 20E-dependent transcription, we used the natural system for controlling the 20E titer – E23 membrane transporter, which exports 20E from the cell. We artificially expressed the E23 in tissues to suppress the first wave of 20E-inducible transcription at metamorphosis. Expression of E23 revealed a plethora of 20H dependent genes in salivary glands, but mildly affected the transcription in brain/eye-antennal discs. We described the mechanisms controlling the transcriptional activation by 20E in Drosophila salivary glands. 20E depletion caused a decreased binding of Pol II and TFIID subunit, TBP, to target promoters, demonstrating 20E role in the stimulation of transcription initiation. At the target loci 20E depletion resulted in a malfunctioning of sites co-bound with EcR and CBP/Nejire and enriched with H3K27Ac histone mark inherent to active enhancers. At these sites, 20E titer was found to control chromatin accessibility and acetylation. We presume that the activity of these ‘active’ ecdysone-sensitive elements – (ESEs) is responsible for an active status of 20E targets in the salivary glands of wandering larvae.

The negative elongation factor NELF promotes active transcription of Drosophila ecdysone-dependent genes

Project description:The current work describes molecular mechanism used by the Negative elongation complex (NELF) to control the Pol II pause at genes whose transcription is induced by 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E). According to our data NELF complex is recruited to the promoters and enhancers of 20E-dependent genes. Its presence at the regulatory sites of 20E-dependent genes correlates with the described interaction of its NELF-A subunit with EcR receptor. The NELF complex, consisting of at least three subunits, is formed at the 20E-dependent promoters and participates in their active transcription and maintenance of their repressed state. NELF depletion causes a significant decrease in transcription induced by 20E. We associate this effect with the disruption of Pol II elongation complexes formation. A considerable reduction in the promoter-bound level of Spt5 subunit of DSIF was observed at the 20E-dependent genes upon NELF depletion. We presume that participation in stabilization of the Pol II-DSIF complex can be an important function of NELF with a big impact on transcription of its target genes. Part of our study was to directly link NELF to regulation of 20E-dependent genes in development. We showed presence of NELF at the promoters of 20E-dependent genes during their active transcription both in embryogenesis and metamorphosis. We also demonstrate that 20E-dependent promoters remain in a Pol II paused state at the larva stage, where they are temporarily repressed.

Genome-wide examination of the transcriptional response to ecdysteroids 20-hydroxyecdysone and ponasterone A in Drosophila melanogaster

Project description:The 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) hierarchy of gene activation serves as an attractive model system for studying the mode of steroid hormone regulated gene expression and development. Primary genes are activated by the direct action of the hormone and often code for proteins with regulatory function, some of which are responsible for the perpetuation of the response through the activation of secondary genes. Here we identify 35 primary 20E-response genes that are induced by 20E in the absence of protein synthesis in the embryonic cell line Kc167, and of those with known functions, most encode proteins with catalytic activity. Comparison of the genome-wide transcriptional response to 20E and to its plant derived structural analog ponasterone A (PoA) revealed a large difference in the transcriptional targets of these molecules. Despite the structural similarity of these two compounds, many more genes related to various aspects of development appear to be significantly induced by 20E than by PoA. Furthermore, we compared the 20E response in Kc cells to that of a natural 20E target tissue where the function of 20E has been well described, the salivary glands of wandering 3rd instar larvae, and found little overlap in 20E-responsive genes. Analysis of 20E-induced transcription of EcR, a known 20E-inducible gene and regulator of early and late 20E-responsive genes, reveals differences in the fold induction of EcR isoforms EcR-RA, ER-RC, and EcR-RD/E between Kc cells and salivary glands suggesting a possible cause for the observed differences in 20E-regulated gene transcription.

20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) induced transcriptional changes in the atrium and spermatheca of female Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes 24 hours after 20E injection compared to ethanol treated controls.

Project description:Male Anophele gambiae mosquitoes transfer the steroid hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) to the female lower reproductive tract during mating. We have shown that this sexually transferred hormone is a key regulator of monandry and oviposition in An. gambiae females. In order to identify possible molecular pathways underlying the effects induced by sexually transferred 20E we investigated the transcriptional response in the atrium and spermatheca at 24 hours after 20E injection in the thorax of virgin females, which delivers to these reproductive tissues 20E levels comparable to those detected after mating. By comparing these results to those of microarrays assessing the post-mating transcriptional response in the female lower reproductive tract (LRT) at 24 hours post copulation, we were able to identify mating responsive genes likely regulated by male transferred 20E. For each experiment atrium and spermatheca were dissected from females 24 hours after 20E or ethanol (10%) injection and transcriptional profiles compared across 4 biological replicates using Agilent two-color microarrays

Expression data from Drosophila S2* cells treated with the steroid hormone 20-hydroxy-ecdysone (20E)

Project description:Previously we and other teams have found that 20E modulates the induction and expression of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in immune-challenged Drosophila cell culture or whole animals. To identify potential downstream targets of 20E involved in modulating the immune response we used Affymetrix gene chips (microarrays) to compare the transcriptomes of Drosophila S2* cells treated or not with 20E for 24 hours. Affymetrix Drosophila 2.0 Chips were probed in triplicate with RNA isolated from untreated S2* cells or cells treated with 1 microMolar 20E (Sigma) for 24 hours. cDNA products were hybridized at the Brown University Genomics Core Facility to Affymetrix GeneChip Drosophila_2.0 Genome Arrays (3 replicate chips per treatment).

Induction of a peptide with activity against a broad spectrum of pathogens in the Aedes aegypti salivary gland, following infection with dengue virus

Project description:Dengue viruses (DENV) are generally maintained in a cycle which requires horizontal transmission via their arthropod vector, Ae. Aegypti, to the vertebrate host. One important consequence of this process is the interference of these arboviruses with both invertebrate and vertebrate immune systems. While infection of vertebrates causes disease, the presence of DENV gives rise to life-long, persistent infection in mosquitoes. The results of a comparative transcriptome analysis between DENV-infected and uninfected salivary glands revealed activation of both the immune deficiency (IMD) and the Toll pathways, as well as involvement of the putative antibacterial cecropin-like peptide (AAEL000598), in controlling DENV infection in Ae. aegypti. The mature form of this peptide was found to be active against DENV and Chikungunya viruses, whereas its precursor also had a strong anti-Leishmania effect. This study is the first to establish a comparative transcriptome analysis of DENV-infected and uninfected salivary glands and demonstrates that certain DENV-induced peptides, that are part of the IMD pathway, possess broad-spectrum anti-pathogenic activity and may have therapeutic potential in human. Infectious blood meals were offered to 3-day-old, adult, female Ae. aegypti Liverpool mosquitoes using a silicone membrane feeder system (Alto et al., 2005). Human blood was combined with DENV-2 16681 to provide a blood meal titer of 5.106 plaque forming units (PFU)/ml. At different time-points after the blood meal, salivary glands were dissected in acid guanidium thiocyanate-phenol-chloroform (RNAble; Eurobio, France) or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and the samples were frozen at -70°C until use.
