Nutrigenomics in honey bees: the impact of pollen nutrients on bee health

Project description:We studied the molecular mechanisms underlying the impact of pollen nutrients on honey bee (Apis mellifera) health and how those nutrients improve resistance to parasites. Using digital gene expression, we determined the changes in gene expression induced by pollen intake in worker bees parasitized or not by the mites Varroa destructor, known for suppressing immunity and decreasing lifespan of bees.

Brain transcriptomics of honey bee parasitized by Varroa destructor or Nosema ceranae

Project description:In this study we addressed whether the transcriptome profile in the honey bee brain is similar for two major parasites of honey bee, Varroa destructor and Nosema ceranae. Honey bees parasitized by these two parasites show accelerated behavioral maturation and deficiences in orientation and learning/memory that we hoped to characterized at the transcriptomic level.

cGMP modulates responses to queen mandibular pheromone in worker honey bees

Project description:Responses to social cues, such as pheromones, can be modified by genotype, physiology, or environmental context. Honey bee queens produce a pheromone (queen mandibular pheromone; QMP) which regulates many aspects of worker bee behavior and physiology. Forager honey bees are less responsive to QMP than young nurse bees engaged in brood care, suggesting that physiological changes associated with behavioral maturation may modulate response to this pheromone. Since cGMP is a major regulator of behavioral maturation in honey bee workers, we examined its role in modulating worker responses to QMP. Treatment with a cGMP analog, 8-Br-cGMP, resulted in significant reductions in both behavioral and physiological responses to QMP in young caged workers. Treatment significantly reduced attraction to QMP (the retinue response) and inhibited the QMP-mediated increase in vitellogenin levels in the fat bodies of worker bees. Genome-wide analysis of brain gene expression patterns demonstrated that cGMP has a larger effect on expression levels than QMP, and that QMP has specific effects in the presence of cGMP, suggesting that some responses to QMP may be dependent on an individual beesM-^R physiological state. Several functional gene categories were significantly differentially expressed, including genes involved in regulating GTPase activity, phototransduction, immunity, and carboxylic acid transmembrane transporter activity. Overall, our data suggest that cGMP-mediated processes play a large role in modulating responses to queen pheromone in honey bees, at the behavioral, physiological and molecular levels.

Trancriptome analysis of honey bees (Apis mellifera) infected with Nosema ceranae

Project description:The microsporidia Nosema ceranae are intracellular parasites that proliferate in the midgut epithelial cells of honey bees (Apis mellifera). To analyze the pathological effects of those microsporidia, we orally infected honey bee workers 7 days after their emergence. Bees were flash frozen 15 days after the infection. Then, the effects on the gut ventriculi were analyzed and compared to non-infected (control) bees.

The habitat disruption induces immune-suppression and oxidative stress in honey bees

Project description:Background: Honey bee is a major insect used for pollination of a number of commercial crops worldwide. However, the number of managed honey bee colonies has recently declined in several countries, and a number of possible causes are proposed. Although the use of honey bees for pollination can be considered as disruption of the habitat, its effects on honey bees' physiology have never been addressed. In Japan, more than 100 thousands colonies are annually used for pollination, and intriguingly 80% of them are used in greenhouses. Recently, honey bee colonies have often collapsed when they are introduced into greenhouses. Thus, to suppress colony collapses and maintain the number of worker bees in the colonies are essential for successful long-term pollination in greenhouses and recycling honey bee colonies.

Meta-analysis of honey bee neurogenomic response to deformed wing virus

Project description:Plant pollination by the western honey bee Apis mellifera is an irreplaceable agroecological and economic cornerstone currently under threat. Recent colony loss has been consistently linked to the increased prevalence of deformed wing virus (DWV), an Iflavirus transmitted from the ecoparasitic mite Varros destructor. While DWV has been detected in the honey bee brain and causally linked to behavioral impairment, the molecular impact of infection on brain gene expression is largely unknown. Recently, we discovered that two published and two new brain transcriptomic studies conducted in our lab contained DWV contamination in over 99% of sequenced honey bee samples. This unanticipated finding sharply contrasted with the experimental paradigms of these four studies, as no physical or behavioral signs of DWV were detected in any of the 335 individual honey bees sampled. We took this opportunity to perform a meta-analysis and test the hypothesis that DWV influences brain gene expression, a relationship which could be linked to the massive depopulation events observed around the world. Results from our study support commonalities in the molecular consequences of DWV in the honey bee brain and implicate specific genes and biological processes associated with infection. Next, we used single-cell RNA-Sequencing to implicate glia as active responders to viral infection. Finally, we performed viral gene expression analysis on a subset of samples and found DWV type A as well as a previously unreported A-B recombinant in the brain. We present this meta-analysis as a first step toward addressing a potential missing link between viral infection and behavior in honey bees.
