Project description:We characterized and compared hemolymph proteome of Royal Jelly bees (RJbs), a stock selected for increasing RJ output from Italian bees (ITbs) and ITbs across the larval and adult ages. Unprecedented depth of proteome was attained by identifying 3394 hemolymph proteins in both bee lines. The proteome supports the general function of hemolymph to drive development and immunity across different phases in both bees. However, age-specific proteome settings have adapted to prime the distinct physiology for larvae and adult bees. In larvae, proteome are thought to drive the temporal immunity, rapid organogenesis, and reorganization of larval structures. In adults, proteome play key roles to prompt tissues development and immune defense in NEBs, glands maturity in NBs and carbohydrate energy production in FBs. Comparing the proteome between the same aged larval and adult samples, RJbs and ITbs have tailored distinct hemolymph proteome programs to drive their physiology. Particularly, in day 4 larvae and NBs, a large number of highly abundant proteins enriched in protein synthesis and energy metabolism in RJbs relative to ITbs imply that RJb larvae and NBs have reprogrammed their proteome to initiate different developmental trajectory and high RJ secretion in response to the enhanced RJ production by selection. Our hitherto depth of proteome coverage gains novel sight on molecular details in driving hemolymph function and high RJ production by RJbs.

Project description:As a matter of fact, honeybees are vital for the pollination of more than 80 crops of agricultural interest. However, population decline has become an important global issue causing significant concerns among agricultural experts and the broader public. For this, parasites are known to be the major culprits responsible for the losses of millions of honeybee colonies so far. Among these parasites, Varroa destructor has been identified as a major cause for global losses in Western honeybee (Apis mellifera) colonies. Hygienic behavior (HB), on the other hand, is a collective response by adult honeybees to defend against parasites and diseases that is known to involve in resistance towards Varroosis. Even with the efforts made to elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying HB, it is still not understood. In our study, we have studied the proteomic correlates to HB using a honeybee line (selected for Varroa-specific HB for over a decade in Germany). We sampled individual worker bees from this line that showed HB after closer infrared video observations and compared the proteomes of their mushroom bodies and antennae with those of workers that came from the same set of colonies but didn't show the behaviour. Furthermore, we compared the pupal hemolymph for worker bees of the selected HB line and a control line using state-of-the art techniques of proteomics. We identified a total of 8609 proteins (covered >55% of the honeybee proteome) from these three honeybee tissues. This is the most comprehensive proteomic study of the honeybee HB to date, and the first to focus on individual bees expressing Varroa-specific HB. These results have significantly advanced our knowledge on the biology underlining HB to a new level. The uniquely found functional classes and pathways by the proteins identified in each tissue suggest that hygienic bees have shaped distinct proteome settings to underpin the HB. Moreover, during analysis of pupal hemolymph proteome, the HB-line has adapted a unique strategy to boost an individual and social immunity and drove pupal organogenesis via energy metabolism and protein biosynthesis. Moreover, in the mushroom bodies of different HB phenotypic worker bees, the hygienic bees have enhanced their neuronal sensitivity to promote the execution of HB by activation of synaptic vesicles and calcium channel activities. Moreover, in the antennae of two HB phenotypic worker bees, the hygienic bees have demonstrated strengthening of their sensitivity associated with olfactory senses and signal transmissions, which is important to input a strong signal to the mushroom bodies and initiate HB. In conclusion, our novel findings have significantly extended our understandings of the molecular mechanisms that underline the HB to combat Varroa infestation. Furthermore, we identified a wide array of novel markers that are useful for accelerating marker associated selection of HB to aid in the natural resistance to a parasite blamed for a global decline in honeybee health.

Project description:Sibling care is a hallmark of the social insects, but its evolution remains challenging to explain. The hypothesis that sibling care evolved from ancestral maternal care in the primitively eusocial insects has been elaborated to involve heterochronic changes in gene expression. This elaboration leads to the prediction that workers in these species will show patterns of gene expression more similar to foundress queens, who express maternal care behavior, than to established queens engaged solely in reproductive behavior. We tested this idea in the bumblebee Bombus terrestris using a microarray platform with ca. 4,500 genes. Unlike in the wasp Polistes metricus, in which support for the above prediction has been obtained, we found that patterns of brain gene expression in foundress and queen bumblebees were more similar to each other than to workers. However, comparisons of lists of differentially expressed genes derived from this study and gene lists from microarray studies in Polistes and the honeybee Apis mellifera suggest that there is a shared set of genes involved in the regulation of related social behaviors across independent eusocial lineages. Together, these results suggest that the multiple independent evolutions of eusociality in the insects involved a combination of shared and different mechanisms.

Project description:During the nest-founding phase of the bumble bee colony cycle, queens undergo striking changes in maternal care behavior. Early in the founding phase, prior to the emergence of workers in the nest, queens are reproductive and also provision and feed their offspring. However, later in the founding phase, queens cease feeding offspring and become specialized on reproduction. This transition is synchronized with the emergence of workers in the colony, who assume the task of feeding their siblings. Using a social manipulation experiment, we tested the hypothesis that workers socially regulate the transition from feeding brood to specialization on reproduction in nest-founding bumble bee queens. Consistent with this hypothesis, we found that early-stage queens with workers prematurely added to their nests reduce their brood-feeding behavior and increase egg-laying, and likewise, late-stage queens increase their brood-feeding behavior and decrease egg-laying when workers are removed from their nests. Further, brood-feeding and egg-laying behavior were negatively correlated in these queens. We used an Agilent brain EST-based microarray to explore a second hypothesis, that workers alter brain gene expression in nest-founding queens. We found evidence that brain gene expression in nest-founding queens is altered by the presence of workers, with the effect much stronger in late-stage founding queens. Additionally, expression levels of some genes were correlated with quantitative differences in brood-feeding and egg-laying behavior. This study provides new insights into how the transition from feeding brood to specialization on reproduction in bumble bee queens is regulated during the nest initiation phase of the colony cycle.

Project description:Experimental infection of (2 days old) adult honey bee workers (30 bees per replicates, 3 replicates per treatments, from 3 different colonies (one colony per cage for each treatment)) with 10^9 genome equivalent of Black Queen Cell Virus (BQCV) in 10µl of sugar solution and/or 10^5 fresh Nosema ceranae spores (control bees were given a similar bee extract in PBS, without pathogen). Bees were kept in cages of 30 bees in incubator (30°C/50%RH). At day 13 p.i., bees were flash frozen, and stored at -80°C. Brain mRNA profiles of 15 old bees were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicates except for bees infected by both Nosema ceranae and Black Queen Cell Virus (duplicates)

Project description:Female larvae of the honeybee (Apis mellifera) develop into either queens or workers depending on nutrition during larval development. This nutritional stimulus triggers different developmental trajectories, resulting in adults that differ in physiology, behaviour and life-span. To understand how these developmental trajectories are established we have undertaken a comprehensive analysis of differential gene expression throughout larval development. Gene expression of honeybee queen and worker larval samples was analysed at seven time points during larval development (6 hr, 12 hr, 36 hr, 60 hr, 84 hr, 108 hr and 132 hr)

Project description:The genome of the western honey bee (Apis mellifera) harbours ten different major royal jelly protein genes (mrjp1-10) which originate from a single-copy precursor via gene duplication. The evolutionary fate of duplicated genes is eventually determined over time as to result in loss due to pseudogenization, or in preservation due to neo- or sub-functionalization. Both fates were already observed in the mrjp gene cluster, as only mrjp1 - 9 are expressed, whereas mrjp10 was pseudogenized and represents an incomplete gene copy. In contrast, MRJP1 underwent neofunctionalization and developed an essential function within the food jelly of queen larvae, to guaranty the survival of the whole colony. We here show combining quantitative real time PCR with quantitative mass spectrometry that expression of most mrjps (mrjp1-5 and 7) shows an age dependent pattern in worker hypopharyngeal glands as well as in brains. Expression increases after hatching until the nurse bee period and is followed by a decrease in older workers that forage for different plant products. Mrjp6 expression deviates considerably from the expression profiles of the other mrjps and transcript abundance does not correlate with protein amount. Thus, either mrjp6 does fulfil a total different function or it might be on its way to pseudogenization. Furthermore, a tissue-specific function of the proteins MRJP8 and 9 in the hypopharyngeal glands and the brain can be excluded, suggesting a more general physiological than a nutritive function for both gene products.
