Project description:Wild-type laboratory strains of model organisms are typically kept in isolation for many years, with the action of genetic drift and selection on mutational variation causing lineages to diverge with time. Natural populations from which such strains are established, show that gender-specific interactions in particular drive many aspects of sequence level and transcriptional level variation. Here, our goal was to identify genes that display transcriptional variation between laboratory strains of Drosophila melanogaster, and to explore evidence of gender-biased interactions underlying that variability. Experiment Overall Design: Three replicate groups of males and virgin females were collected for each sex and genotype combination. Total RNA was extracted independently for each of the 30 samples (five lines x two sexes x three replicates)

Project description:Liver plays major roles in vital functions including responses to energy deprivation. It is known that body composition and fuel metabolism differs between genders. However there are many unclear aspects related to metabolic pathways affected by feeding level and gender, which could be addressed by transcriptome analyses. To date, no published study in porcine liver has investigated the effects of both gender and feeding level on global gene expression level.We performed a gene expression analysis, using microarrays, in hepatic samples of pigs of the obese Iberian breed to analyze feeding level and gender effects. Results showed that feeding level leads to small expression differences, while gender leads to larger ones. Biological interpretation of the differentially expressed genes conditional on feeding level showed an overrepresentation of genes implicated in general metabolic processes, responses to stimulus and stress, oxidoreductase activity, calcium ion binding and lipid, organic acid and carbohydrate metabolisms. We validated the expression difference of PHYHD1 by qRT-PCR; however we could not validate the expression differences of other relevant genes. Curiously, validation of PGK1, considered reference gene, confirmed expression differences conditional on feeding level and gender. The annotation of the differentially expressed probes for gender effect allowed to observe sex-chromosome enrichment and dosage compensation phenomena in liver. Biological interpretation showed overrepresentation of genes related with oxidoreductase and transferase activities, lipid, organic acid, carbohydrate and steroid metabolisms and genes related with metabolites generation and energy and electron transport. Aside from 13 consistently across tissue differentially expressed genes between gender, gender hepatic expression dimorphism of key genes involved in lipid, carbohydrate and protein metabolisms and antioxidant capacity were also detected. A deeper qRT-PCR analysis showed a downregulation in entire males of all major genes implicated in hepatic degradation processes of androstenone and skatole. We have identified changes in hepatic gene expression conditional on feeding and gender. Reduction of around 25% in feeding level do not lead to great differences but gender effect leads not only to a larger number of differentially expressed probes, but much larger expression differences. Validation of microarray results is needed mainly for small expression differences.

Project description:To investigate the effect of sex on within- and between-population variation in gene expression, we performed a microarray analysis of adult females from 16 strains of Drosophila melanogaster, including eight strains from the putative ancestral range in sub-Saharan Africa and eight strains from a European population. The results were compared to those of a previous study of adult male gene expression variation among the same strains (GSE8843).

Project description:Male skeletal muscles are generally faster and have a higher maximum power output than female muscles. Conversely, during repeated contractions female muscles sre generally more fatigue resistant and recover faster. we hypothesized that estrogen receptor beta is involved in this gender difference. The Affymetrix micorarray were used to deteced the differently expressed genes between male BERKO and WT mice in soleus muscles. Soleus muscles from 3 individual mouse of each genotype were used to perform the experiment. Keywords: repeat sample

Project description:Breed, gender and diet are factors affecting porcine metabolism. The aim of this study has been to investigate the gene expression patterns of the major sites for lipid metabolism, liver and fat, conditional on gender and on a moderate feeding restriction in Iberian pigs, as a model of obese porcine breed. Our results show that tissue effect account for more differentially expressed genes than gender or feeding restriction. The results obtained from the comparison between tissues support the studies showing adipose tissue is not only a fat-storage depot, we report a high number of upregulated genes in adipose tissue which represent relevant biological functions such as carbohydrate and energy metabolisms and endocrine function. Besides, key genes implicated in lipid metabolism are specifically overrepresented in liver or fat, particularly the differentially expressed genes related to fatty acid synthesis support previous studies showing that in pig, as in cattle or sheep, this process largely occurs in fat. We identified metabolic differences between genders such as oxidation capacity or response to toxins, reflected at gene expression level in liver but no in adipose tissue, contrarily to previous studies. Finally, our results seem to indicate that a moderate feeding restriction does not have large effects on liver or fat gene expression of obese pigs. Although the list of differentially expressed genes due to the effect of feeding restriction is limited, we could identify expression differences in genes related to antiageing mechanisms associated with feeding restriction as enhancement of immune response and anticoagulation and the balance between prosurvival and cell-death.

Project description:This experiment exploits the life-cycle of Strongyloides ratti, which is a parasitic nematode of brown rats that exhibits three adult stages within its life-cycle - parasitic females, freeliving females and free-living males. We use a cDNA microarray to examine patterns of (i) gender-biased gene expression by contrasting free-living females against free-living males, and (ii) parasitic-biased expression by contrasting parasitic females against free-living females. Of the 3688 distinct transcripts represented on our array, 20% exhibited male-biased expression 19% exhibit female-biased expression, 11% exhibit parasitic-biased expression and 8% exhibit free-living-biased expression. Among the top responding genes, an orthologue of major sperm protein is upregulated in males, distinct aspartic protease orthologues are upregulated in either parasitic or in free-living females, and orthologues of hsp-17 chaperone are upregulated in parasitic females. Upon a global analysis of gene expression, we find that female-biased expression is associated with genes involved in reproductive processes and larval development, that male-biased expression is associated with genes involved in metabolism, and that free-living biased expression is associated with genes involved in regulation of body fluids and response to external stimulus. The association of gene ontology with parasite-biased expression is less clear. Our results provide an initial gene expression analysis of gender- and parasite-biased expression in S. ratti, may be more generally applicable to other parasitic nematodes, and may help to refine the search for novel drug or vaccine targets against parasitic nematodes.

Project description:Mutation generates the heritable variation that genetic drift and natural selection shape. In classical quantitative genetic models, drift is a function of the effective population size and acts uniformly across traits, while mutation and selection act trait-specifically. We identified thousands of quantitative trait loci (QTL) influencing transcript abundance traits in a cross of two C. elegans strains; although trait-specific mutation and selection explained some of the observed pattern of QTL distribution, the pattern was better explained by trait-independent variation in the intensity of selection on linked sites. Our results suggest that traits in C. elegans exhibit different levels of variation less because of their own attributes than because of differences in the effective population sizes of the genomic regions harboring their underlying loci.
