Transcriptome analysis of N2 and flp-6 Caenorhabditis elegans at 25 °C

ABSTRACT: Temperature is a prominent environmental stimulus that influences life span. Previous studies indicate that in Caenorhabditis elegans, thermosensory perception in the AFD neuron maintains life span at warm temperatures. How thermosensation is translated into neuronal signals that shape aging remains elusive. We found that the Caenorhabditis elegans CREB crh-1, as well as several key genes in AFD thermosensory transduction, were specifically required for normal life span at warm temperatures. crh-1 acted in the AFD to increase transcription of the CRE-containing neuropeptide gene flp-6 in a temperature-dependent manner. Both crh-1 and flp-6 were necessary and sufficient for longevity at warm temperatures, and their effects depended on the AIY interneuron. Moreover, flp-6 signaling downregulated ins-7/insulin and several insulin pathway genes, whose activity compromised life span. We postulate that temperature experience is integrated in the thermosensory neurons to generate CREB-dependent neuropeptide signals that antagonize insulin signaling and promote temperature-specific longevity.

Thermosensation is linked to ubiquitin-dependent protein turnover via insulin and calcineurin signalling

Project description:Organismal physiology and survival are influenced by environmental conditions and linked to protein quality control. Proteome integrity is achieved by maintaining an intricate balance between protein folding and degradation. In Caenorhabditis elegans, acute heat stress determines cell non-autonomous regulation of chaperone levels. However, how the perception of environmental changes, including physiological temperature, affects protein degradation remains largely unexplored. Here, we show that loss-of-function of dyf-1 in Caenorhabditis elegans associated with dysfunctional sensory neurons leads to defects in both temperature perception and thermal adaptation of the ubiquitin/proteasome system centered on thermosensory AFD neurons. Impaired perception of moderate temperature changes worsens ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis in intestinal cells. Brain-gut communication regulating protein turnover is mediated by upregulation of the insulin-like peptide INS-5 and inhibition of the calcineurin-regulated forkhead-box transcription factor DAF-16/FOXO. Our data indicate that perception of ambient temperature and its neuronal integration is critical for the control of proteome integrity in complex organisms.

Chloroplast signalling gates thermotolerance in Arabidopsis

Project description:Temperature has a major role in plant growth and survival, for example wheat yields decrease by about 6% for every 1°C rise in global temperature [1]. High temperatures induce the expression of protective chaperones and modulate growth responses. Key players in the heat protection response are transcription factors of the HEAT SHOCK FACTOR A1 (HSFA1) family [2]. However the pathways that activate the HSFA1 class TFs, and how these perceive temperature and integrate it with other environmental signals are not clear. Plants are exposed to considerable diurnal temperature variation, and have evolved pathways to anticipate likely future conditions. For example, the cold response pathway is gated by the circadian clock, enabling the degree of responsiveness to cold to be controlled in the context of the environment [3, 4] and genes promoting elongation growth and flowering in response to warm temperature are induced during the night via thermosensory phytochromes [5 ,6]. It is not known in Arabidopsis if the warm temperature protective pathways are gated. In this study we find that there is strong diurnal variation in the heat stress response of Arabidopsis, and we show that this correlates with the expression of HSP70 in the day night cycle. The dark to light transition is in fact sufficient to robustly induce expression of warm temperature protective genes such as HSP70. A forward genetic screen with a HSP70-Luciferase reporter line revealed genes necessary for controlling this process and identified a central role for chloroplast signalling in the warm temperature response that accounts for diurnal variation in thermotolerance.

Comparative transcriptomic analyses of Spring OilSeed Rape (SOSR)accessions in response to warm temperature.

Project description:Elevated growth temperatures are negatively affecting crop productivity and increasing yield losses. Root traits associated with improved adaptation to rising temperatures are a promising approach to generate new varieties better suited to face the environmental constrains caused by climate change. In this study, we identified various Brassica napus roots traits altered in response to warm temperature. Thus, different combination of changes in specific root traits results in an extended and deeper root system. This overall root growth expansion facilitates root adaptation by maximizing root-soil surface interaction and increasing its ability to explore extended soil areas. We associated these traits to coordinated cellular events, including changes in cell division and elongation rates, that drive the increase in root growth triggered by warm temperature. Comparative genome wide transcriptomic analysis revealed the main genetic determinants of these RSA changes and uncovered the necessity of a tight regulation of the heat shock stress response to adjust root growth to warm temperature. Our work provides a phenotypic, cellular and genetic framework of root response to warming temperatures that will help to harness root adaptation mechanisms for crop yield improvement under the future climatic scenario.

MicroRNA156 conditions auxin sensitivity to enable growth plasticity in response to environmental changes in Arabidopsis (miRNA-Seq)

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play diverse roles in plant development, but whether and how miRNAs participate in thermomorphogenesis remains ambiguous. Here we show that HYPONASTIC LEAVES1 (HYL1) – a key component of microRNA biogenesis – acts downstream of the thermal regulator PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR 4 in temperature-dependent plasticity of hypocotyl growth in Arabidopsis. A hyl1-2 suppressor screen identified a dominant dicer-like1 (dcl1) allele, dcl1-24, which rescues hyl1-2’s defects in miRNA biosynthesis and warm temperature-induced hypocotyl elongation. Genome-wide miRNA and transcriptome analysis reveal microRNA156 (miR156) and its target SQUAMOSA PROMOTER-BINDING-LIKE 9 (SPL9) as critical regulators of thermomorphogenesis. Surprisingly, perturbation of the miR156/SPL9 module disengages seedling responsiveness to warm temperatures by impeding auxin sensitivity. Moreover, the miR156-dependent auxin sensitivity also operates in the shade avoidance response at lower temperatures. Thus, these results unveil the miRNA156/SPL9 module as a previously-uncharacterized genetic circuitry that enables plant growth plasticity in response to environmental temperature and light changes.

Environmental heat stress in Greenland blue mussels (Mytilus edulis)

Project description:Background biology: Global warming has accelerated in recent decades, with the Arctic warming 2–3 times faster than the global average. As a result boreal species are expanding into the Arctic, at a pace reflecting environmental warming. Nevertheless, the poleward expansion of boreal marine species is restricted by their ability to tolerate low water temperatures, and in the case of intertidal species, sub-zero air temperatures during winter. In Greenland, however, the number of days with extreme sub-zero air temperatures has decreased by more than 50% since the 1950’s, suggesting that the low air temperature constraint is weakening. Although boreal intertidal species could potentially benefit from this warmer climate to establish populations in the Arctic, recent work has shown that local intertidal summer air temperatures in Greenland can exceed 36°C. This temperature is above the thermoregulatory capacity of many boreal intertidal species, including the highly abundant blue mussel Mytilus edulis. Therefore will further colonisation of M. edulis in Greenland be inhibited by the increasingly warm summer temperatures. Aim of experiment: Intertidal animals (Greenland blue mussel M. edulis) were sampled in situ on the first warm days of the year from the inner (warmer) and outer (cooler) regions of the Godthåbsfjorden around Nuuk (64°N) to examine the fjord temperature gradient effect. In addition, subtidal M. edulis were also collected and subjected to two acute temperature shocks of 22 and 32°C, which represented common and extreme summer air temperatures for intertidal habitats near Nuuk.

A complementary role for ELF3 and TFL1 in the regulation of flowering time by ambient temperature.

Project description:Plants regulate their time to flowering by gathering information from the environment. Photoperiod and temperature are among the most important environmental variables. Suboptimal, but not near-freezing, temperatures regulate flowering through the thermosensory pathway, which overlaps with the autonomous pathway. Here we show that ambient temperature regulates flowering by two genetically distinguishable pathways, one that requires TFL1 and another that requires ELF3. The delay in flowering time observed at lower temperatures was partially suppressed in single elf3 and tfl1 mutants, whereas double elf3 tfl1 mutants were insensitive to temperature. tfl1 mutations abolished the temperature response in cryptochrome mutants that are deficient in photoperiod perception, but not in phyB mutants that have a constitutive photoperiodic response. Contrary to tfl1, elf3 mutations were able to suppress the temperature response in phyB mutants, but not in cryptochrome mutants. The gene expression profile revealed that the tfl1 and elf3 effects are due to the activation of different sets of genes and identified CCA1 and SOC1/AGL20 as being important cross talk points. Finally, genome-wide gene expression analysis strongly suggests a general and complementary role for ELF3 and TFL1 in temperature signalling.

Gene expression profiling of C. elegans under various thermal conditions

Project description:To realistically evaluate the effects of the environment in space, it is necessary to understand the effects of external factors during sample transport from Earth to space. The present study focused on temperature, profiling the altered gene expression that develops under low cultivation temperatures in C. elegans, used as a space life science model. The 7903 genes were selected as differentially expressed genes, and divided into five sets with similar expression patterns using k-means clustering. Results from Gene Ontology analysis are significantly indicated that the cell cycle related genes, and the TGFβ/insulin-like signal pathway related genes changed. The TGFβ/insulin-like signal pathway is expected to be activated due to low temperatures, as well as by other stressors.

Gene Expression Analysis of Fat Body of Drosophila melnaogaster subjected to Dietary restriction for certain time points

Project description:Dietary restriction is a nutritional intervention that consistently increases life span in animals. To identify alternative, more acceptable nutritional regimes that nevertheless extend life span, we used the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster as a model. We tested if weekly recurring nutritional regimes composed of phases of ad libitum feeding and dietary restriction can increase life span. Short periods of dietary restriction (up to 2 days) followed by longer ad libitum phases increased life span only marginally, whereas regimes comprising longer contiguous periods (3 days and more) became clearly positive, reaching similar life span extensions as those seen if dietary restriction was applied persistently. Female flies were substantially more responsive to these interventions than males. The finding that a minimal period of 3-4 days of dietary restriction is required to induce robust life span extensions was mirrored by the observation that substantial physiological and transcriptional changes occurred in a similar temporal pattern. Moreover, these dietary restriction induced changes were also detectable after switching to ad libitum feeding. Among the physiological changes induced by these phases of dietary restriction, a reduced metabolic rate and a substantial and long-lasting reduction in insulin signaling were most compelling. Age associated molecular signatures comprising mechanisms that reduce insulin signaling showed up after longer periods of dietary restriction in the fly’s fat body, thus showing how molecular alterations transduce into life span related physiological changes.
