Transcription profiling of control and heat resistant Drosophila adult females before and at 8 time points after heat stress

ABSTRACT: Gene expression was measured in control and heat resistance selected adult female flies before and at 8 time points after heat stress for 1h @ 36 degrees,Abstract The availability of full genome sequences has allowed the construction of microarrays, with which screening,of the full genome for changes in gene expression is possible. This method can provide a wealth of information about,biology at the level of gene expression and is a powerful method to identify genes and pathways involved in various,processes. In this study, we report a detailed analysis of the full heat stress response in Drosophila melanogaster,females, using whole genome gene expression arrays (Affymetrix Inc, Santa Clara, CA, USA). The study focuses on,up- as well as downregulation of genes from just before and at 8 time points after an application of short heat hardening,(368C for 1 hour). The expression changes were followed up to 64 hours after the heat stress, using 4 biological,replicates. This study describes in detail the dramatic change in gene expression over time induced by a short-term,heat treatment. We found both known stress responding genes and new candidate genes, and processes to be involved,in the stress response. We identified 3 main groups of stress responsive genes that were earlyâ??upregulated, earlyâ??,downregulated, and lateâ??upregulated, respectively, among 1222 differentially expressed genes in the data set. Comparisons,with stress sensitive genes identified by studies of responses to other types of stress allow the discussion of,heat-specific and general stress responses in Drosophila. Several unexpected features were revealed by this analysis,,which suggests that novel pathways and mechanisms are involved in the responses to heat stress and to stress in,general. The majority of stress responsive genes identified in this and other studies were downregulated, and the,degree of overlap among downregulated genes was relatively high, whereas genes responding by upregulation to heat,and other stress factors were more specific to the stress applied or to the conditions of the particular study. As an,expected exception, heat shock genes were generally found to be upregulated by stress in general.

Project description:Direct comparison of the genome-level expression patterns of THP-1 cells exposed to either LPS or heat shock; Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) serve a sentinel role allowing the host to efficiently sense and adapt to the presence of danger signals. Herein we have directly compared the genome-level expression patterns (microarray) of human PBMC (THP-1 cells) subjected to one of two canonical danger signals, heat shock and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Based on sequential expression and statistical filters, and in comparison to control cells, we found that 3,988 genes were differentially regulated in THP-1 cells subjected to LPS stress, and 2,921 genes were differentially regulated in THP-1 cells subjected to heat shock stress. Venn analyses demonstrated that the majority of differentially regulated genes (greather than or equal to 70%) were uniquely expressed in response to one of the two danger signals. Functional analyses demonstrated that the two danger signals induced expression or repression of genes corresponding to unique pathways, molecular functions, biological processes, and gene networks. In contrast, there were 184 genes that were commonly upregulated by both stress signals, and 430 genes that were commonly downregulated by both stress signals. Interestingly, the 184 commonly upregulated genes corresponded to a gene network broadly related to inflammation, and more specifically to chemokine signaling. These data demonstrate that the mononuclear cell responses to the canonical stress signals, heat shock and LPS, are highly divergent. However, there is a heretofore unrecognized common pattern of gene network expression corresponding to chemokine-related biology. The data also serve as a reference database for investigators in the field of stress signaling. Experiment Overall Design: In vitro exposure of THP-1 cells to control conditions, LPS (1 micogram/ml for 4 hrs), or heat shock (43 deg C for 1 hour, followed by a 4 hour recovery at 37 deg C)

Project description:Temperature is an important ecological condition, and sudden temperature changes in soil can induce stress in soil-dwelling invertebrates. Soil animals can move to more favorable habitats and/or adapt physiologically to a stressful environment. Hyperthermic conditions will impact gene expression as one of the first steps. We use a transcriptomics approach to identify the transcripts of which expression changed in response to heat stress in the springtail Folsomia candida using a 5,131 probe microarray. A temperature shift from 20Â°C to 30Â°C for 30 minutes significantly altered the expression of 142 genes, of which 116 were upregulated, and 26 downregulated. Many upregulated genes encoded heat shock proteins (Hsps) or enzymes involved in the synthesis of ATP, such as members of the electron transport chain. Furthermore, genes involved in oxidative stress and anion-transporting ATPases were upregulated. Downregulated were glycoside hydrolases, involved in catalysis of certain disaccharides, which indicate an accumulation of stress-protective disaccharides. The microarray results from this study, which were validated using quantitative RT PCR, reveal a mild response to heat shock in this soil invertebrate, relative to other organisms. This may be due to specific ecological factors during evolution of soil invertebrates, such as the relatively stable temperatures in the soil habitat. This study presents potential candidate genes for future functional studies concerning thermal stress in soil-dwelling invertebrates, like e.g., the investigation of the heat hardening process. Folsomia candida was first acclimated to LUFA 2.2 soil at 20 C for two days. Then animals were either exposed to 30 C for 30 minutes (heat shock treated), or were not heat shocked (reference). For each treatment 4 biological replicates were used, replicate samples consisted of total RNA extracted from ~30 animals exposed in the same jar to either reference or heat shock. Each unique heat shock treated sample was hybridized to a unique reference sample. In total in 4 hybridizations of 8 samples, was performed. The dyes were evenly distributed, which means that for each treatment two samples were labeled with cy3 and the other two with cy5.
