Project description:In the silkworm, Bombyx mori, juvenile hormone (JH) and 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) levels are high during the final larval molt (4M) but both absent during the feeding stage of 5th instar (5F), while JH level is low and 20E level is high during the prepupal stage (PP). Fat body is the important organs in insect, we want to find out differentially expressed genes which are respectively regulated by the two hormones.

Project description:Juvenile hormone (JH) and 20-hydroxy-ecdysone (20E) are highly versatile hormones, coordinating development, growth, and reproduction in insects. Pulses of 20E provide key signals for initiating developmental and physiological transitions, while JH promotes or inhibits these signals in a stage-specific manner. Previous evidence suggests that JH and 20E might modulate innate immunity, but whether and how these hormones interact to regulate the immune response remains unclear. Here we show that JH and 20E have antagonistic effects on the expression of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in Drosophila melanogaster. In S2* cells challenged with bacterial peptidoglycans, 20E induces promoter activity and expression of AMPs in a dose-dependent manner, while JH III and its synthetic analogs (JHa) methoprene and pyriproxyfen abolish this 20E-dependent response. Using microarrays and GFP reporter gene assays in adult flies, we confirm that JH is a hormonal immuno-suppressor in vivo. When silencing both partners of the ecdysone receptor (EcR ) / ultraspiracle (USP) heterodimer with RNAi in S2* cells, 20E fails to activate Diptericin (Dpt) expression, suggesting that 20E regulates expression of this gene through EcR / USP signaling. In contrast, silencing methoprene-tolerant (MET), a candidate JH receptor, does not impair the immuno-suppressive action of JH III and JHa, indicating that in this context MET does not function as a JH receptor. Our results suggest that the balance of 20E and JH is a major determinant of immune homeostasis in insects. Keywords: Topical hormone treatment of whole flies

Experiment Overall Design: To examine the transcriptional response of y, w flies to treatment with exogenous JH, we performed a microarray experiment on females treated with JH or solvent (control). Flies were grown on regular yeast diet, switched to no-yeast food within one hour of eclosion, and yeast-starved for 5 days posteclosion to lower their endogenous JH titer and to synchronize their physiology (cf. Tu and Tatar, 2003; Gershman et al., 2007). Subsequently, we anesthetized flies on ice and topically treated them with 0.1 ïl of 187 mM JH III in acetone or with 0.1ï ïl 100% acetone (control) using a 1 ïl Hamilton syringe with a repeating dispenser. 12 hours after hormone administration, samples were snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C. RNA was isolated from samples (2 JH samples, 2 control samples, each with 30 females) by lysis, as described in Gershman et al. (2007). cDNA products were hybridized at the Brown University Genomics Core Facility to Affymetrix GeneChip Drosophila_1 Genome Arrays (2 replicate chips per treatment). The dataset consisted of 14,009 probe sets, with 6,142 probe sets annotated. Expression data were analyzed for significant over- or underrepresentation of gene ontology (GO) terms with the web application FatiGO (Al-Shahrour et al., 2004), using a two-fold change criterion. To test whether JH treatment significantly suppresses expression of AMPs we used t-tests implemented in JMP IN 5.1.

Project description:To explore the molecular mechanisms of obesity and insulin resistance in the patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) at the level of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs).Three PCOS-derived and one non-PCOS-derived hESC lines were induced into adipocytes, and then total mRNA was extracted from these adipocytes. The differential genes between PCOS-derived and non-PCOS-derived adipocytes were identified with GeneChip, and then were validated with real-time PCR.There were 153 differential genes. Of the 153 genes, 91 genes were up-regulated and 62 down-regulated. Nuclear receptor subfamily 0, group B, member 2 (NR0B2) was an up-regulated gene, and GeneChip software system indicated that it was associated with obesity and diabetes. Three PCOS-derived and one non-PCOS-derived hESC lines were induced into adipocytes, and then total mRNA was extracted from these adipocytes. The differential genes between PCOS-derived and non-PCOS-derived adipocytes were identified with GeneChip, and then were validated with real-time PCR.

Project description:Juvenile hormone (JH) is produced and secreted by corpora allata (CA) during larval stages. JH biosynthesis from acetyl-CoA includes 13 enzymatic steps. Genes for 10 of those enzymes have been identified from Bombyx mori. It was also reported that they are basically expressed selectively in CA. Genes for the other 3 enzymes were recently reported from other insects, i.e., farnesyl diphosphate pyrophosphatase (FPPP) from Drosophila and farnesol dehydrogenase (FolD) and farnesal dehydrogenase (FalD) from Aedes. In order to reveal the expression profiles of these genes in Bombyx CA and to find other candidate genes involved in JH biosynthesis, we performed a transcriptomic analysis in corpora cardiaca-CA (CC-CA) complexes using a custom-made DNA microarray on which sequences from CC-CA EST libraries and genome-widely predicted genes are loaded. CC-CA complexes vigorously expressed JH-biosynthetic genes identified in Bombyx as well as genes involved in methyl-group metabolism and ribosomal protein genes; this is suitable for JH production. Bombyx counterparts of Drosophila FPPP and Aedes FolD genes, however, showed quite low level of expression. On the other hand, some other genes probably encoding oxidoreductases were expressed highly and selectively in CC-CA complex. Their products might function as FolD and/or FalD in Bombyx.

Project description:Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is one of the world's most important cereal crops. S. propinquum is a perennial wild relative of S. bicolor with well-developed rhizomes. Functional genomics analysis of S. propinquum, especially with respect to molecular mechanisms related to rhizome growth and development, can contribute to the development of more sustainable grain, forage, and bioenergy cropping systems. In this study, we used a whole rice genome oligonucleotide microarray to obtain tissue-specific gene expression profiles of S. propinquum with special emphasis on rhizome development. A total of 548 tissue-enriched genes were detected, including 31 and 114 unique genes that were predominantly expressed in the rhizome tips (RT) and internodes (RI), respectively. Further GO analysis indicated that the functions of these tissue-enriched genes corresponded to their characteristic biological processes. A few distinct cis-elements, including ABA-responsive RY repeat CATGCA, sugar-repressive TTATCC, and GA-responsive TAACAA, were found to be prevalent in RT-enriched genes, implying an important role in rhizome growth and development. Comprehensive comparative analysis of these rhizome-enriched genes and rhizome-specific genes previously identified in S. propinquum indicated that phytohormones, including ABA, GA, and SA, are key regulators of gene expression during rhizome development. Co-localization of rhizome-enriched genes with rhizome-related QTLs in rice and sorghum generated functional candidates for future cloning of genes associated with rhizome growth and development. In conclusion, a whole rice genome oligonucleotide microarray was used to profile gene expression across five tissues of the perennial wild sorghum S. propinquum. Expression patterns of the five tissues were consistent with the different functions of each organ, and RT- and RI-enriched genes revealed clues regarding molecular mechanisms of rhizome development. Plant hormones, including ABA, GA, and SA, function as key regulators of rhizome gene expression and development. To shed further light on the identities of rhizome-specific genes, rhizome-enriched candidates were identified using QTL co-localization and comparative analysis. In this study, the specific gene expression patterns across five tissues, including rhizome tip (RT, distal 1 cm of the young rhizome), rhizome internodes (RI), shoot tip (ST, distal 5 mm of the tiller after removing all leaves), shoot internodes (SI) and young leaf (YL) in Sorghum propinquum, especially in the rhizome, were characterized by using a rice genome array. Three independent biological replicates for each tissue from individual plants were performed. The reference was equivalent to a mix of the 5 tissues.
