Project description:The Chinese citrus fly, Bactrocera minax, is a notorious univoltine pest that causes damage to citrus. B. minax enters obligatory pupal diapause in each generation to resist harsh environmental conditions in winter. Despite the enormous efforts that have been made in the past decade, the understanding of pupal diapause of B. minax is currently still fragmentary. In this study, the 20-hydroxyecdysone solution and ethanol solvent was injected into newly-formed pupae to obtain non-diapause- (ND) and diapause-destined (D) pupae, respectively, and a comparative proteomics analysis between ND and D pupae was performed 1 and 15 d after injection. A total of 3,255 proteins were identified, of which 190 and 463 were found to be differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) in ND1 vs D1 and ND15 vs D15 comparisons, respectively. The reliability and accuracy of LFQ method was validated by qRT-PCR. Functional analyses of DAPs, including Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network construction, were conducted. The results revealed that the diapause program of B. minax is closely associated with several physiological activities, such as phosphorylation, chitin biosynthesis, autophagy, signaling pathways, endocytosis, skeletal muscle formation, protein metabolism, and core metabolic pathways of carbohydrate, amino acid, and lipid conversion. The findings of this study provide insights into diapause program of B. minax and lay a basis for further investigation into its underlying molecular mechanisms.

Project description:Dormancy is a key feature of stem cell function in adult tissues as well as embryonic cells in the context of diapause. The establishment of dormancy is an active process that involves extensive transcriptional, epigenetic, and metabolic rewiring. How these processes are coordinated to successfully transition cells to the resting dormant state is not known. Here we show that microRNA activity, which is normally dispensable for pre-implantation development, is essential for the adaptation of early mouse embryos to the dormant state of diapause. In particular, the pluripotent epiblast depends on miRNA activity, the absence of which results in loss of pluripotency and embryo collapse. Through tissue-specific small RNA profiling of single embryos and computational analyses of miRNA targets, we identified the miRNA-protein network of diapause. Individual miRNA function contributes to combinatorial regulation by the network of most notably RNA processing and chromatin modifier proteins. Without miRNAs, multiple nuclear and cytoplasmic bodies show aberrant expression and structure in normal ESCs and fail to reorganize in response to stress. We find extensive alternative splicing in wild-type, but not miRNA-deficient ESCs, of cell cycle and metabolic regulators. Our results reveal that miRNAs are critical for the transcriptional and structural rewiring of pluripotent cells in response to stress and to establish dormancy in the pluripotent state.

Project description:Investigation of gene expression level differences in Culex pipiens (SB) and C. quinquefasciatus (JHB) at three time points (8, 16, and 24 hours post-exposure) during the early pupal state in standard (25°C; 16 h light/8 h dark) and diapause-inducing (18°C; 8 h light/16 h dark) conditions. A forty-eight chip study (4 Expr12x135K slides) using cDNA from total RNA collected from two species in the Culex pipiens complex at 3 time-points during the early pupal stage to study gene expression differences between standard (25°C; 16 h light/8 h dark) and diapause-inducing (18°C; 8 h light/16 h dark) conditions, and between Culex pipiens (diapause) and C. quinquefasciatus (no diapause). Each chip measures the expression level of 18,692 protein coding genes, with 3 probes per gene and two-fold technical redundancy. Each of the 12-plex slides was used for one of four biological replicates. Probes were designed using the C.quinquefasciatus CpipJ1.2 geneset in VectorBase.

Project description:Female adult spongy moths vary in their flight capacity depending upon their origin and subspecies. Asian spongy moth (Lymantria dispar asiatica) females (such as the RM strain here) can fly whereas European spongy moth (Lymantria dispar dispar) females cannot (such as the CT strain here). We hypothesized that the genetic origins of these differences in flight capacity would be reflected in differences in gene expression during metamorphosis (the pupal stage). To test this, we compared the gene expression at days 1, 3, 5, 8, and 11 of pupal development of female pupae from CT and RM strains.

Project description:Insects use diapause, a programmed period of dormancy, to avoid stressful times of the year and to exploit seasonal times of resource availability. Because most diapausing insects do not feed, they must live off their body reserves for several months and the proper use of metabolic reserves is critical for surviving diapause and performing after diapause termination. Across multiple insects, metabolic depression during diapause has been associated with a switch from aerobic metabolism to facultative anaerobic metabolism, despite insects not suffering environmental oxygen limitation. While metabolic rates are depressed during diapause overall to save energy, some insects show regular cyclical bouts of higher metabolic activity during diapause. The functional importance of these metabolic cycles and the mechanisms underlying these cycles are still unknown, but they may be critical for properly maintaining the balance between energy states and purge the accumulation of anaerobic metabolic byproducts. In the present study, we will test the hypothesis that periodic cycles of increased metabolism during insect diapause are associated with both regenerating organismal energetic states, particularly ATP that may decline during metabolic depression, and for purging metabolites associated with anaerobic metabolism. We will use a combination of non-targeted uHPLC-MS/MS metabolomics and targeted NMR-spectroscopy to identify and quantify metabolites that are altered during the cycles in diapausing pupae of the flesh fly, Sarcophaga crassipalpis. This work will allow us to propose specific biochemical and cellular hypotheses for the regulation of cyclic releases from metabolic depression in diapausing insects. Our work may not only reveal the physiological mechanisms regulating metabolic cycles during diapause in flesh fly, but also provide insight to understand the regulation of similar metabolic cycles in mammalian hibernators (i.e., periodic arousal), and also provide insights into how these cycles could be exploited to disrupt the diapause of insect pests.

Project description:Regulation of embryonic diapause, dormancy that interrupts the tight connection between develop- mental stage and time, is still poorly understood. Here, we characterize the transcriptional and metabolite profiles of mouse diapause embryos and identify unique gene expression and metabolic signatures with activated lipolysis, glycolysis, and metabolic pathways regulated by AMPK. Lipolysis is increased due to mTORC2 repression, increasing fatty acids to support cell survival. We further show that starvation in pre-implantation ICM-derived mouse ESCs induces a reversible dormant state, transcriptionally mimicking the in vivo diapause stage. During starvation, Lkb1, an upstream kinase of AMPK, represses mTOR, which induces a revers- ible glycolytic and epigenetically H4K16Ac-negative, diapause-like state. Diapause furthermore activates expression of glutamine transporters SLC38A1/2. We show by genetic and small molecule inhibitors that glutamine transporters are essential for the H4K16Ac-negative, diapause state. These data sug- gest that mTORC1/2 inhibition, regulated by amino acid levels, is causal for diapause metabolism and epigenetic state.

Project description:The most common ladybird beetle, Coccinella septempunctata L., is an excellent predator of crop pests such as aphids and white flies, and it shows a wide range of adaptability, a large appetite and a high reproductive ability. In this study, we collected female adults in three different states, i.e., non-diapause, diapause and diapause termination, for transcriptome sequencing. The experimental insects consisted of three different states as follows: Non-diapause female insects were reared at 24±1°C, with a RH of 70±10% and a 16:8 h light: dark (L: D) photoperiod and collected after their first oviposition. Female adults in diapause were reared at 18±1°C at an RH of 70±10% and a 10:14-h (L:D) photoperiod. The experimental diapause insects were collected after 30 days. Diapause-terminated adults were transferred to another climatic cabinet with the 30-day diapause insects and reared under the same conditions as the non-diapause insects. After their first oviposition, the female insects were collected and stored at -80°C. Three biological replicates per treatment (non-diapause, diapause, diapause-terminated) were sequenced using Illumina HiSeq 2500.
