Project description:Gene expression profiling of nuclei isolated from genetically defined neuronal subpopulations of the adult Drosophila brain. Gene expression profiles were generated from nuclei isolated from all neurons (R57C10-GAL4), Kenyon cells (OK107-GAL4), and octopaminergic (Tdc2-GAL4) neurons in the adult Drosophila head using a method similar to INTACT (Deal and Henikoff, 2010; Steinner et al., 2012). Sequencing was performed with an Illumina HiSeq 2000.

Project description:Chromatin profiling of nuclei isolated from genetically defined neuronal subpopulations of the adult Drosophila brain. Cell type-specific histone modification maps were generated from nuclei isolated from all neurons (R57C10-GAL4), Kenyon cells (OK107-GAL4), and octopaminergic (Tdc2-GAL4) neurons using a method similar to INTACT (Deal and Henikoff, 2010; Steinner et al., 2012). Three histone modifications were profiled: H3K4me3, H3K27ac, and H3K27me3. Sequencing was performed with an Illumina HiSeq 2000.

Project description:We introduce a more sensitive method for purifying specific cell-types from small numbers of fly heads for epigenomic analysis: a method we call ‘mini-INTACT’. We modified the INTACT method in Drosophila [Henry G. L. et al., Nucleic Acids Research, 2012, 1–14] to enable purification of genetically tagged rare cell types from Drosophila brain requiring ~50-100 fold less material. We used male fruit flies as a model to examine the effects of social-isolation vs. social-enrichment on the epigenome and transcriptome of dopaminergic neurons defined by expression of the TH-GAL4 driver. Using ChIP-seq on mini-INTACT purified nuclei, RNA-seq and bioinformatic analysis, we identify regulation of the transcriptome and behavior by Activity Related Genes who’s expression is induced by social enrichment.

Project description:We used an improved INTACT (Isolation of Nuclei Tagged in A specific Cell Type) technique to isolate RNA from purified nuclei from different neuronal populations of the Drosophila brain. Using microfluidic multiplex PCR and sequencing (mmPCR-seq), we determined gene expression and A-to-I RNA editing levels at editing sites across nine distinct neuronal sub-populations and a pan-neuronal control.

Project description:Many tools are available to analyse genomes but are often challenging to use in a cell type-specific context. We have developed a method similar to the isolation of nuclei tagged in a specific cell type (INTACT) technique [Deal,R.B. and Henikoff,S. (2010) A simple method for gene expression and chromatin profiling of individual cell types within a tissue. Dev. Cell, 18, 1030-1040; Steiner,F.A., Talbert,P.B., Kasinathan,S., Deal,R.B. and Henikoff,S. (2012) Cell-type-specific nuclei purification from whole animals for genome-wide expression and chromatin profiling. Genome Res., doi:10.1101/gr.131748.111], first developed in plants, for use in Drosophila neurons. We profile gene expression and histone modifications in Kenyon cells and octopaminergic neurons in the adult brain. In addition to recovering known gene expression differences, we also observe significant cell type-specific chromatin modifications. In particular, a small subset of differentially expressed genes exhibits a striking anti-correlation between repressive and activating histone modifications. These genes are enriched for transcription factors, recovering those known to regulate mushroom body identity and predicting analogous regulators of octopaminergic neurons. Our results suggest that applying INTACT to specific neuronal populations can illuminate the transcriptional regulatory networks that underlie neuronal cell identity.

Project description:Modulation of action choices according to the environmental context is crucial for animal survival and reproductive success1. Aggression, despite its general importance as a social behavior2, can become detrimental if uncontrolled3,4. However, the genetic and neural basis for aggression control through active suppression remains largely unknown. Here we found nvy, a Drosophila homolog of vertebrate myeloid translocation gene (MTG)5 involved in transcriptional regulation6-8, suppresses aggression through a specific subset of neurons. Mutation of the nvy gene resulted in hyper-aggressiveness, which was rescued by neuronal expression of human MTGs as well as Drosophila nvy. The mutant exhibited persistent aggression under various contexts in which wild-type flies switch their behavioral patterns. Knockdown of nvy in octopaminergic/tyraminergic (OA/TA) neurons increased aggression, phenocopying the nvy deletion. Cell-type specific transcriptomics on OA/TA neurons derived from the nvy mutants revealed aggression-controlling genes that are likely downstream of nvy. Moreover, we found that the nvy-expressing OA/TA neuronal subpopulations specifically suppress aggression. Our results presents a powerful genetic model to unravel not only the neuronal systems that modulate aggression in a social context-dependent manner, but also the conserved molecular mechanism underlying the tumorigenesis caused by the MTG mutations.

Project description:Neuronal Gene Expression We are interested in genes that determine the neuronal cellular fate and specific neurotransmitter phenotypes of cells in the nervous system. The reasons for our interest are two fold. First, identification of the genetic pathways operating in specific types of neurons could explain why they die in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. All of these disorders have in common the property that only certain types of neurotransmitter specific neurons degenerate. Secondly, neuronal cell replacement therapies using differentiated stem cell progeny hold the potential to reverse the devastating consequences of neurodegenerative diseases. The genetic personality of specific kinds of neurons must first be defined in order to use proper cells for neuronal replacement and this information will be essential in directing stem cell differentiation into proper developmental pathways. Our current approach to the problems of specification and neurotransmitter phenotype is to create transgenic animals where different neurotransmitter phenotypes are labeled with a fluorescent reporter gene. Labeled neurons are then isolated using Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting. The purified populations of neurons are analyzed for their whole genome expression patterns using DNA microarray technology. We have successfully applied this approach using Drosophila cholinergic neurons and are now extending our observations to other classes of neurons that use GABA or glutamate as neurotransmitters. Cholinergic neurons express unique sets of ion channels, receptors and other types of genes. We also see unique sets of transcriptional regulatory proteins, and these may be important in the developmental pathways that result in the production of cholinergic neurons.
