Single-cell transcriptomics reveals the brain evolution of web-building spiders

Project description:Spiders are renowned for their efficient capture of flying insects using intricate aerial webs. How the spider nervous systems evolved to cope with this specialized hunting strategy and various environmental clues in an aerial space remains unknown. Here, we report a brain cell atlas of >30,000 single-cell transcriptomes from a web-building spider (Hylyphantes graminicola). Our analysis revealed the preservation of ancestral neuron types in spiders, including the potential coexistence of noradrenergic and octopaminergic neurons, and many peptidergic neuronal types that are lost in insects. By comparing the genome of two newly sequenced plesiomorphic burrowing spiders with three aerial web-building spiders, we found that the positively selected genes in the ancestral branch of web-building spiders were preferentially expressed (42%) in the brain, especially in the three mushroom body-like neuronal types. By gene enrichment analysis and RNAi experiments, these genes were suggested to be involved in the learning and memory pathway and may influence the spiders’ web-building and hunting behavior. Our results provide key sources for understanding the evolution of behavior in spiders and reveal how molecular evolution drives neuron innovation and the diversification of associated complex behaviors.

Revealing the venomous secrets of the spider’s web

Project description:Orb-weaving spiders use a highly strong, sticky and elastic web to catch their prey. These web properties alone would be enough for the entrapment of prey; however, these spiders may be hiding venomous secrets in the web, which current research is revealing. Here, we provide strong proteotranscriptomic evidence for the presence of toxin/neurotoxin-like proteins, defensins and proteolytic enzymes on the web silk from Nephila clavipes spider. The results from quantitative-based transcriptomics and proteomic approaches showed that silk-producing glands produce an extensive repertoire of toxin/neurotoxin-like proteins, similar to those already reported in spider venoms. Meanwhile, the insect toxicity results demonstrated that these toxic components can be lethal and/or paralytic chemical weapons used for prey capture on the web; and the presence of fatty acids in the web may be responsible mechanism for open the way to the web-toxins for accessing the interior of prey's body, as showed here. Comparative phylogenomic-level evolutionary analyses revealed orthologous genes among two spider groups - Araneomorphae and Mygalomorphae; and the findings showed protein sequences similar to toxins found in the taxa Scorpiones and Hymenoptera in addition to Araneae. Overall, these data represent a valuable resource to further investigate other spider web toxin systems; these data also suggest that N. clavipes web is not a passive mechanical trap for prey capture, but it exerts an active role in prey paralysis/killing using a series of neurotoxins.

spatialGE is a User-Friendly Web Application that Facilitates Spatial Transcriptomics Data Analysis

Project description:Spatial transcriptomics (ST) is a powerful tool for understanding tissue biology and disease mechanisms. However, the advanced data analysis and programming skills required can hinder researchers from realizing of the full potential of ST. To address this, we developed spatialGE, a web application that simplifies the analysis of ST data. The application spatialGE provided a user-friendly interface that guides users without programming expertise through various analysis pipelines, including quality control, normalization, domain detection, phenotyping, and multiple spatial analyses. It also enabled comparative analysis among samples and supported various ST technologies. The utility of spatialGE was demonstrated through its application in studying the tumor microenvironment of two data sets: 10X Visium samples from a cohort of melanoma metastasis and Nanostring CosMx fields of vision from a cohort of Merkel cell carcinoma samples. These results support the ability of spatialGE to identify spatial gene expression patterns that provide valuable insights into the tumor microenvironment and highlight its utility in democratizing ST data analysis for the wider scientific community.
