Project description:Transcriptional Signatures in Response to Wheat Germ Agglutinin and Starvation in Drosophila melanogaster Larval Midgut
| PRJNA107031 | ENA
Project description:One function of plant lectins is to serve as defenses against herbivorous insects. The midgut is the critical site affected by dietary lectins such as wheat germ agglutinin (WGA). We observed marked cellular structural and gene expression changes in Drosophila melanogaster third-instar larval midguts from insects WGA-fed or starved. Dietary WGA caused shortening, branching, swelling, distortion and in some cases disintegration of the midgut microvilli (Mv). Starvation was accompanied by shortening of the Mv. Microarray analyses revealed that dietary WGA evolved differential expression of 62 transcripts; seven of which were also differentially expressed in starved insects. The differentially regulated gene cluster in WGA-fed larvae were associated with (i) cytoskeletal organization, (ii) immune responses, (iii) detoxification reactions, and (iv) energy metabolism. Four putative transcription factor binding motifs (TFBMs) were associated with the differentially-expressed genes. At least one of these putative TFBMs exhibited substantial similarity to MyoD, a TFBM associated with cellular structures in mammals. These results are in keeping with the hypothesis that WGA causes a starvation-like effect as well as structural changes of midgut cells of Drosophila third-instar larvae. Keywords: stress response

Project description:The larval ovary is made up of multiple cell types including germ cells and somatic cells. The diversity of cell types and transcriptional regulation is not fully understood. To get single cell resolution of larval ovary regulation, we generated single-cell RNA expression profiles (scRNA-Seq) from late third instar larval ovaries of a reference Drosophila melanogaster genotype w[1118].

Experiment Overall Design: Three treatments (control, WGA, and Starvation), and three replicates for each treatment. So there are total nine samples. no dye-swap.

Project description:The male larval gonad is a complex tissue made up of multiple cell types including germ cells and somatic cells. It is also a key developmental stage with the germline undergoing spermatogenesis. The diversity of cell types and transcriptional regulation of the developing gonad has only been broadly described. In order to get single cell resolution, we profiled late third instar larval testes of a reference Drosophila melanogaster genotype, w[1118] using single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq). We identified and annotated 9 cell types including 4 stages of the germ cell lineage, and provide transcriptional profiles for each cell type.

Project description:This phase I clinical trial tests the immune effects of fermented wheat germ in patients with advanced solid tumor cancers who are being treated with standard of care checkpoint inhibitors. Fermented wheat germ is a nutritional supplement that some claim is a "dietary food for special medical purposes for cancer patients" to support them in treatment. There have also been claims that fermented wheat germ is "clinically proven" and "recognized by medical experts" to "enhance oncological treatment" and boost immune response to cancer; however, there are currently no documented therapeutic effects of fermented wheat germ as a nutritional supplement. Checkpoint inhibitors, given as part of standard of care for advanced solid tumors, are a type of immunotherapy that may help the body’s immune system attack the cancer and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. The information gained from this trial may allow researchers to determine if there is any value of giving fermented wheat germ with standard of care checkpoint inhibitors for patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies.

Project description:The cellular composition of the brain and how it is affected by starvation, remains largely unknown. Here we introduce a single-cell transcriptome atlas of the entire Drosophila melanogaster first instar larval brain. We first assigned cell type identity based on the expression of previously characterized marker genes, allowing us to distinguish five major groups: neural progenitors cells, differentiated neurons, glial cells, undifferentiated neurons as well as non-neural cells corresponding to organs and structures located adjacent to the brain. All major classes were further subdivided into multiple subtypes based on cluster analysis, revealing critical biological features of various cell types. Moreover, we included two different feeding conditions: normal fed versus starved. After starvation, the transcriptional profile of several cell clusters were altered, while the overall composition of the brain remains unaffected. Intriguingly, different cell clusters show very distinct responses to starvation, suggesting the presence of cell-specific programs for nutrition availability. Establishing a single-cell transcriptome atlas of the larval brain provides a powerful tool to explore cell diversity, assess genetic profiles of neurogenic, neuronal and glial cell types. The analysis of neurotransmitters, neuropeptides and their respective receptors may further open the doors for functional studies.

Project description:Oligoarray analysis was used to determine the number and nature of genes expressed in third-instar Drosophila melanogaster larval midguts. The majority of transcripts were associated with protein synthesis and metabolism. Serine proteases were the main proteolytic enzymes detected. Keywords: stress response

Project description:The adaptable transcriptional response to changes in food availability not only ensures animal survival, but also permits progressing with embryonic development. Interestingly, the central nervous system is preferentially protected to periods of malnutrition, a phenomenon known as ‘brain sparing’. However, the mechanisms that mediates this genetic response remains poorly understood. To get a better understanding of this, we used Drosophila melanogaster as a genetic model, analysing the transcriptional response of larval neural stem cells (neuroblasts) and glial cells of the blood-brain barrier during nutrient restriction using the targeted DamID technique.
