Individual bee brain behavior-age

ABSTRACT: This experiment examines gene expression profiles in individual honey bee brains (adult worker Apis mellifera). The purpose is to test whether behavioral phenotype can be predicted by expression profiles in individual brains in a naturalistic context (i.e., colonies in the field). The two behavioral phenotypes examined are 'nurse' and 'forager'. Other factors examined are age, genotype (full-sister group), and colony environment.

An additional processed data file is available on the FTP site for this experiment.

Gene expression profiles in the brain predict behavior in individual honey bees.

We show that the age-related transition by adult honey bees from hive work to foraging is associated with changes in messenger RNA abundance in the brain for 39% of approximately 5500 genes tested. This result, discovered using a highly replicated experimental design involving 72 microarrays, demonstrates more extensive genomic plasticity in the adult brain than has yet been shown. Experimental manipulations that uncouple behavior and age revealed that messenger RNA changes were primarily associ ...[more]

Transcription profiling of brains of adult honey bee workers (Apis mellifera) performing different behavioral tasks in the hive

Project description:This experiment examines gene expression profiles in the brains of adult honey bee workers (Apis mellifera) performing different behavioral tasks in the hive. The different behavioral groups examined were nurse, comb builder, guard, undertaker, and forager. The comb builder, guard, and undertaker behavioral groups perform their respective tasks over a relatively short time scale (typically 1 day), while nursing and foraging are longer duration (lasting > 1 week). The purpose of this study was to examine whether behaviors that persist over different time scales are associated with differences in the extent of gene expression changes in the brain.

Transcription profiling of QMP pheromone-mediated gene expression in the honey bee brain

Project description:This experiment was designed to monitor the gene expression changes of young bees raised with and without queen mandibular pheromone (QMP). This experiment was a timecourse, comparing QMP- to QMP+ bees over 4 days of exposure. Bees that had eclosed over 16 hours were collected from a brood frame and placed in cages, 35 bees/cage. 8 hours later, queen mandibular pheromone (QMP, 0.1 queen equivalents) treatment was initiated, and fresh QMP was placed in the cage every day. One hour after QMP treatment had been refreshed, QMP- and QMP+ cages were collected into liquid nitrogen. 8 cages of each were collected on each day of the timecourse (1 day of treatment = Day 1, as well as Day 2, Day 3, and Day4).

Distance Effect

Project description:Here we show that regions of the honeybee brain involved in visual processing and learning and memory show a genomic response to distance information. Using a method that separates effects of perceived distance from effects of actual distance flown, we found that individuals forced to shift from a short to a perceived long distance to reach a feeding site showed differences in gene expression in the optic lobes and mushroom bodies relative to individuals that continued to perceive flying a short distance.

Transcription profiling of young bees raised in colonies with a queen, with queen mandibular pheromone (QMP), or without a queen.

Project description:This experiment was designed to identify gene expression differences in young bees raised in colonies with a queen, with queen mandibular pheromone (QMP), or without a queen. The source colony was split into three colonies, allocating roughly equal quantities of adult bees, brood, and pollen and nectar stores. One colony retained the original queen (QR), one was left queenless (QL), and the third was given a strip that contained 10 Qeq (QMP+), a dose shown to mimic a live queen (20). The three colonies were transferred to a different apiary > 2 mi away so they would not return to the site of their natal hive. Prior to the colony split, bees (N ~1500) were collected 0-36 h after eclosion, marked on the dorsal thorax with a paint dot (Testors Paint), and ~500 were placed in each of the three colonies. Two days later, the marked bees were collected (N = 100). Bees were collected into liquid nitrogen, and heads were stored as above.

Global transcriptome analysis of fungal genes affected by a novel antifungal agent KR-72, a 13-(4-isopropylbenzyl)berberine derivative a 13-(4-isopropylbenzyl)berberine derivative

Project description:A 13-(4-isopropylbenzyl)berberine derivative (named KR-72) was synthesized and examined for antifungal activities against various human pathogenic fungi. The synthesized compound exhibited remarkably enhanced antifungal activity than berberine and berberrubine. Regardless of the potent antifungal activity of KR-72, its mode of action and the physiological impacts of the drug on fungal metabolism remain elusive. In this study, we performed the DNA microarray-based transcriptome analysis to identify KR-72 responsive genes and employed reverse genetics approaches to characterize their functions in Cryptococcus neoformans, which causes fatal meningoencephalitis in humans. First, KR-72 treatment altered in remodeling of transcriptome profiles in C. neoformans. Genes involved in translation and transcription were mostly upregulated, while those involved in cytoskeleton, intracellular trafficking, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism and energy production were downregulated. Supporting this, KR-72 has a strong synergistic effect with a calcineurin inhibitor FK506, while it has an antagonistic effect with polyene drug. Finally, KR-72 treatment promoted expression of ECM16, NOP14, HSP10, and MGE1, which we proved to be essential for the growth of C. neoformans. Among them, KR-72 mediated induction of MGE1 also appeared to hamper the viability of C. neoformans, potentially through impaired cell cycle or DNA repair system. This study will proposed mode of action for KR-72. The six slides of Cryptococcus_neoformans 3X20K are used in this analysis, 3 biological replicate experiments are performed, total RNAs are extracted under 2 conditions (with or without treatment of KR-72 with H99 (H99 Wild type strain (Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii serotype A). We use the KR-72 non-treated RNAs from this experiment as a control RNA. We use Cy5 as Sample dye and Cy3 as a control dye.
