Project description:The extent to which behavior is shaped by experience varies between individuals. Genetic differences contribute to this variation but the neural mechanisms are not understood. In this study, we identify a natural genetic variant of the dendritic scaffolding protein ARCP-1 that modifies individual behavioral flexibility in C. elegans. Disrupting ARCP-1 alters how previous oxygen experience modulates escape behavior in response to carbon dioxide. ARCP-1 normally suppresses CO2 aversion by inhibiting signaling from the BAG CO2-sensing neurons. To further investigate how disrupting ARCP-1 alters BAG function, we specifically labeled these neurons with GFP, used FACS to isolate the fluorescent cells from acutely dissociated arcp-1 mutant and control animals, and profiled their gene expression using RNA-Seq. We find transcriptional changes for a broad range of gene classes and link altered neuropeptide expression to increased CO2 aversion in the arcp-1 mutant.

Project description:To gain molecular insights on how NPR-8 regulates C. elegans defense against pathogen infection, we used RNA sequencing to profile gene expression in npr-8(ok1439) animals relative to wild-type animals with or without P. aeruginosa infection. We found that NPR-8 suppresses the expression of genes related to cuticle structure activity including collagen genes, and lack of NPR-8-mediated suppression in npr-8(ok1439) animals contributes to their improved survival against P. aeruginosa infection.

Project description:The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans feeds on microbes in its natural environment. Some of these microbes are pathogenic and thus harmful to C. elegans. To minimize resulting fitness reductions, C. elegans has evolved various defence mechanisms including behavioural responses (e.g. avoidance behaviour) that reduce contact with the infectious microbes. In this study, we characterized the genetic architecture of natural variation in C. elegans avoidance behaviour against the infectious stages of the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis. We performed an analysis of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) using recombinant inbred lines (RILs) and introgression lines (ILs) generated from a cross of two genetically as well as phenotypically distinct natural isolates N2 and CB4856. The analysis identified several QTLs that underlie variation in the behavioural response to pathogenic and/or non-pathogenic bacteria. One of the candidates is the npr-1 gene. This gene encodes a homolog of the mammalian neuropeptide receptor. Npr-1 was previously indicated to fully contribute to behavioural defence against the Gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa and food patch-leaving behaviour on Escherichia coli. Interestingly, in our study, npr-1 is not the only gene mediating avoidance behaviour toward Bacillus thuringiensis. Moreover, our functional analyses show that npr-1 alleles appear to influence survival and avoidance behaviour toward Bacillus thuringiensis in exactly the opposite way than toward Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Our findings highlight the role of npr-1 in fine-tuning nematode behaviour in an ecological context depending on the microbe to which C. elegans is exposed. These opposite phenotypes reflect the diversity in innate immunity to pathogens. To understand the mechanism involved in these opposite phenotypes, we carried out a whole-genome transcriptomics study by RNA-Sequencing. This study includes two pathogens: Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14 and Bacillus thuringiensis B-18247 (BT247), two strains: N2 and npr-1 (ur89), two time points (12 and 24h) and standard lab food E. coli OP50 as control. mRNA profiles of wild type (WT) and npr-1 (ur89) C.elegans exposed to either Bacillus thuringiensis B-18247, Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14 or standard lab food E. coli OP50 at 12h or 24h were generated by deep sequencing, in double or triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq2000.

Project description:The mechanistic basis for how genetic variants cause differences in phenotypic traits is often elusive. We identified a quantitative trait locus in C. elegans that affects three seemingly unrelated phenotypic traits: lifetime fecundity, adult body size, and susceptibility to the human pathogen Staphyloccus aureus. We found a QTL for all three traits arises from variation in the neuropeptide receptor gene npr-1. Moreover, we found that variation in npr-1 is also responsive for differences in 247 gene expression traits. Variation in npr-1 is known to determine whether animals disperse throughout a bacterial lawn or aggregate at the edges of the lawn. We found that the allele that leads to aggregation is associated with reduced growth and reproductive output. The altered gene expression pattern caused by this allele suggests that the aggregation behavior might cause a weak starvation state, which is known to reduce growth rate and fecundity. Importantly, we show that variation in npr-1 causes each of these phenotypic differences through behavioral avoidance of ambient oxygen concentrations. These results suggest that variation in npr-1 has broad pleiotropic effects mediated by altered exposure to bacterial food.

Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study are to identify cellular pathways to recover a-syn aggregation-mediated toxicity induced in response to CDC or BAG treatment on PD-iPSC derived mDA neurons. Methods: mRNA profiles of 30-day-old PD-mDA neurons with CDC or BAG treatment for 1 day were generated by deep sequencing, in duplicate, using Illumina HiSeq. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with two methods: Burrows–Wheeler Aligner (BWA) followed by ANOVA (ANOVA) and TopHat followed by Cufflinks. Conclusions: Our study represents the detailed analysis of mDA neuronal transcriptomes in response to CDC or BAG treatments, with biologic replicates, generated by RNA-seq technology. Our results show that CDC or BAG treatment could rescue the toxcity from a-syn aggregation via purine metabolism / ion transport pathways.
