Project description:The aim of this experiment is to compare the transcriptome of Drosophila hemocytes at two developmental stages: in stage 16 embryo, mostly free from any immune challenge and in larvae, which grow in bacteria rich environment. Transgenes inducing the expression of RFP in the hemocytes were used to sort the hemocytes from the two stages before carrying out the sequencing.

Project description:We profiled the transcriptome of Drosophila melanogaster embryos in ttk2D50 embryos or after over-expression using btl-GAL4; UAS-ttk, respectively. We further isolated cells that express btl-enh-RFPmoe (Cabernard and Affolter 2005) and FACS sorting, and profiled their transcriptomes in the same genetic backgrounds. A total of 19 samples were analysed with 2-3 replicates each. For each embryos and sorted cells, the genotypes were: ttk2D50 btl-enh-RFPmoe (mutant; embryos: 2, cells: 2), btl-enh-RFPmoe (mutant control; embryos: 2, cells: 3), btl-GAL4; UAS-ttk, btl-enh-RFPmoe (over-expression; embryos: 3, cells: 2), btl-GAL4; btl-enh-RFPmoe (over-expression control; embryos: 3, cells: 2).

Project description:Toll pathway is a key mediator of antiplasmodial immunity and its mechanism of action is dependent on hemocytes (mosquito white blood cells). Anopheles gambiae were injected with dsRNA for Cactus, an inhibitor of the Toll pathway. Cactus silencing over activates the Toll pathway. The goal of this experiment is to evaluate hemocyte transcriptional changes between control mosquitoes injected with a non-related dsRNA (dsLacZ and dsCactus injected mosquitoes. We also divide hemocytes from control and experimental conditions into 2 groups: bound (hemocytes that attach to glass - granulocyte populations) and unbound (hemocytes that remain in suspension - prohemocytes and oenocytoids). Files from Unbound fractions are labelled: UB and from bound fractions are labelled B. Some of the samples were run twice and have 2 gz files.

Project description:Ticks are blood-feeding arachnids that are known to transmit various pathogenic microorganisms to their hosts. During blood feeding, ticks activate their metabolism and immune system to efficiently utilise nutrients from the host's blood and complete the feeding process. In contrast to insects, in which the fat body is known to be a central organ that controls essential metabolic processes and immune defence mechanisms, the function of the fat body in tick physiology is still relatively unexplored. To fill this gap, we sought to uncover the repertoire of genes expressed in the fat body associated with trachea (FB/Tr) by analyzing the transcriptome of individual, partially fed (previtellogenic) Ixodes ricinus females . The resulting catalog of individual mRNA sequences reveals a broad repertoire of transcripts encoding proteins involved in nutrient storage and distribution, as well as components of the tick immune system. To gain a detailed insight into the secretory products of FB/Tr specifically involved in inter-tissue transport and humoral immunity, the transcriptomic data were complemented with the proteome of soluble proteins in the hemolymph of partially fed female ticks. Among these proteins, the hemolipoglyco-carrier proteins were predominant. When comparing immune peptides and proteins from the fat body with those produced by hemocytes, we found that the fat body serves as a unique producer of certain immune components. Finally, time-resolved transcriptional regulation of selected immune transcripts from the FB/Tr was examined in response to experimental challenges with model microbes and analysed by RT-qPCR. Overall, our data show that the fat body of ticks, similar to insects, is an important metabolic tissue that also plays a remarkable role in immune defense against invading microbes. These findings improve our understanding of tick biology and its impact on the transmission of tick-borne pathogens.

Project description:Members of the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex are among the most frequently mutated genes in human cancer. SWI/SNF complex controls self-renewal and differentiation in stem cell lineages but how this function relates to tumorigenesis is currently unclear. Here, we use Drosophila neuroblasts to demonstrate that the SWI/SNF component Osa (ARID1) prevents tumorigenesis in stem cell lineages by ensuring correct unidirectional lineage progression. Our transcriptome anaysis identifies Ham as a key Osa target gene. comparison of transcriptomes of wild type Drosophila melanogaster larval type II NB lineages (excluding neurons) and osa RNAi type II lineages containing mainly NB-like cells and INPs

Project description:Stem cells are highly abundant and proliferate rapidly during early development but become a rare population in most adult organs. The molecular mechanisms causing stem cells to exit proliferation at a specific time are not well understood. Here, we show that changes in energy metabolism induced by the steroid hormone Ecdysone initiate an irreversible cascade of events leading to cell cycle exit in Drosophila neural stem cells. We show that the timely induction of oxidative phosphorylation and the mitochondrial respiratory chain are required in neuroblasts to uncouple cell cycle progression from cell growth. This results in a progressive reduction in neuroblast cell size and ultimately in terminal differentiation. Neuroblasts isolated from brain tumors fail to undergo this shrinkage process and this may explain why they are immortalized. Our findings show that cell size control can be modified by systemic hormonal signaling and reveal a unique connection between metabolism and proliferation control in stem cells.

Project description:Drosophila neuroblasts have emerged as a model for stem cell biology that is ideal for genetic analysis but is limited by the lack of cell-type specific gene expression data. Here, we describe a methodology to isolate large numbers of pure neuroblasts and differentiating neurons that retain both cell cycle and lineage characteristics. We determine transcriptional profiles by mRNA sequencing and identify 28 predicted neuroblast specific transcription factors, which can be arranged in a network containing hubs for Notch signaling, growth control and chromatin regulation. Overexpression and RNAi for these factors identify Klumpfuss as a regulator of self-renewal. We show that loss of Klu function causes premature differentiation while overexpression results in the formation of transplantable brain tumors. Our data represent a valuable resource for Drosophila developmental neurobiology and we describes methodology that can be applied to other invertebrate stem cell lineages as well. comparison of transcriptomes of Drosophila melanogaster larval neuroblasts and their differentiated daughter cells (neurons)

Project description:The squid, Euprymna scolopes, and the luminescent bacterium, Vibrio fischeri, form a highly specific beneficial light organ symbiosis. Not only does the host have to select V. fischeri from the environment, but it must also prevent subsequent colonization by non-symbiotic microorganisms. Host macrophage-like hemocytes are believed to play a role in mediating the symbiosis with V. fischeri. Previous studies have shown that the colonization state of the light organ influences the host’s hemocyte response to the symbiont. To further understand the molecular mechanisms behind this process, two quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomic techniques, isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) and label-free spectral counting, were used to compare and quantify the adult hemocyte proteomes from colonized (sym) and uncolonized (antibiotic-treated/cured) squid. Overall, iTRAQ allowed for the quantification of 1,024 proteins with 2 or more peptides. Thirty-seven unique proteins were determined to be significantly different between sym and cured hemocytes (p-value < 0.05), with 20 more abundant proteins and 17 less abundant in sym hemocytes. The label-free approach resulted in 1,241 proteins that were identified in all replicates. Of 185 unique proteins present at significantly different amounts in sym hemocytes (as determined by spectral counting), 92 were more abundant and 93 were less abundant. Comparisons between iTRAQ and spectral counting revealed that 30 of the 37 proteins quantified by iTRAQ exhibited similar trends identified by the label-free method. Both proteomic techniques mutually identified 16 proteins that were significantly different between the two groups of hemocytes (p-value <0.05). The presence of V. fischeri in the host light organ influenced the abundance of proteins associated with the cytoskeleton, adhesion, lysosomes, proteolysis, and the innate immune response. These data provide evidence that colonization by V. fischeri alters the hemocyte proteome and reveals proteins that may be important for maintaining host-symbiont specificity.
