Project description:When misexpressed in late Drosophila prepupae, the transcription factor Senseless (Sens) blocks death of the larval salivary glands that normally occurs in the early pupa. The aim of the experiment was to identify genes responding to Sens that might mediate the effect of the protein on cell death and other biological processes. The yeast transcription factor GAL4, expressed from a heat-inducible transgene (P{GAL4-Hsp70.PB}89-2-1), was used to drive expression of Sens from a UAS-sens transgene. After crossing the GAL4 and UAS lines, expression of GAL4 was induced by a 30-min heat shock treatment (37 °C) of the progeny at 9 hours after puparium formation. Salivary glands were dissected at 14 hours after puparium formation and RNA isolated for microarray analysis with Affymetrix GeneChips. Control samples were obtained from animals treated the same way carrying one copy of the GAL4 transgene (progeny of a cross between flies of the P{GAL4-Hsp70.PB}89-2-1 and w1118 strains) and w1118 animals. The microarray data identified several genes associated with programmed cell death, including caspase genes, which respond to Sens. In addition, the data show that many Drosophila genes respond to the yeast transcription factor GAL4 in a UAS-independent manner. To identify target genes of Sens that are of biological relevance, gene expression patterns in the presence of Sens were compared to gene expression patterns in both the presence and the absence of GAL4. This comparison revealed that Sens seems to preferentially downregulate targets that are upregulated by GAL4, suggesting that these genes may not necessarily constitute true transcriptional targets of Sens. Experiment Overall Design: Experimental RNA samples were obtained in 3 biological replicates from sens-expressing salivary glands (SG_sens_14APF_rep1, SG_sens_14APF_rep2, SG_sens_14APF_rep3) and compared to control samples obtained from GAL4-expressing salivary glands (SG_1P{hsGAL4}89(S)_14APF_rep1) and non-GAL4-expressing salivary glands (SG_w1118_14APF_rep1, SG_w1118_14APF_rep2). All samples were compared using dChip and normalized to the same baseline array (median intensity 150).

Project description:The yeast transcription factor GAL4 has been reported to cause cell death and to have other biological effects when expressed in Drosophila (Kramer and Staveley, 2003: Genet. Mol. Res. 2, 43; Rezaval et al., 2007: Eur. J. Neurosci. 25, 683). Using heat-shock-induced expression of GAL4 to drive expression of a UAS-senseless responder gene in transcriptional profiling experiments, we found that the underlying cause of these effects might be a genomic response to GAL4. To further characterize this response and to account for GAL4-independent changes caused by the transgene integration, GAL4 was expressed from two copies of the transgene in two independent lines, P{GAL4-Hsp70.PB}89-2-1 (short P{hs-GAL4}89) and P{hs-GAL4}X1. In addition, GAL4 was expressed from only one copy of the transgene in P{hs-GAL4}89 prepupae to account for the dosage dependence of observed effects. Prepupae carrying the hs-GAL4 transgenes were subjected to a 30-min heat shock treatment (37 °C) at 9 hours after puparium formation. RNA was isolated from salivary glands dissected from these and similarly treated w1118 control animals at 14 hours after puparium formation and subjected to microarray analysis with Affymetrix GeneChips. The microarray data identified an overlapping set of 1,009 genes that showed an at least 1.5-fold change in expression in both of the GAL4-expressing lines, defining a core set of GAL4-responsive genes in the salivary glands. This set includes genes involved in the control and execution of programmed cell death and in other important regulatory pathways. Experiment Overall Design: Experimental RNA samples were obtained from GAL4-expressing salivary glands of the line P{hs-GAL4}X1 in 3 biological replicates (SG_P{hsGAL4}X1_14APF_rep1, SG_P{hsGAL4}X1_14APF_rep2, SG_P{hsGAL4}X1_14APF_rep3); of the line P{hs-GAL4}89 in one replicate (SG_P{hsGAL4}89_14APF_rep1); of animals carrying only one copy of P{hs-GAL4}89 in one replicate (SG_1P{hsGAL4}89_14APF_rep1). The samples were compared to control samples obtained in two biological replicates from the salivary glands of w1118 control animals (SG_w1118(2)_14APF_rep1, SG_w1118(2)_14APF_rep2). All samples were compared using dChip and normalized to the same baseline array (median intensity 145). Statistical analysis of differences between the P{hs-GAL4}X1 and w1118 samples was carried out using GeneSpring (Agilent Technologies) and a false discovery rate (FDR) cutoff of 0.05.

Project description:Drosophila melanogaster undergoes a complete metamorphosis, during which time the larval male and female forms transition into sexually dimorphic, reproductive adult forms. To understand this complex morphogenetic process at a molecular-genetic level, we performed whole genome microarray analyses. In somatic tissues at 48 hour After Puparium Formation (APF), 173 sex-biased transcripts that likely function downstream of the doublesex (dsx) branch of the sex determination hierarchy were identified. The mode of regulation of the sex-specific isoforms of DSX (DSX-F and DSX-M) was examined. It was determined that for most downstream targets, DSX-F and DSX-M regulate gene expression in the same manner, but that one isoform acts as a more potent regulator. Keywords: wild type; genetic modification All microarrays were dual channel with direct comparisons of male versus female or wild type versus mutant. All samples consist of whole body pupae collected at 48 hour After Puparium Formation (APF). For each experiment, four biological replicates were analyzed in a dye-swap design.

Project description:When misexpressed in late Drosophila prepupae, the transcription factor Fork head (Fkh) blocks death of the larval salivary glands that normally occurs in the early pupa. The aim of the experiment was to identify genes responding to Fkh that might mediate the effect of the protein on cell death and other biological processes. Fkh was expressed in the line P[hs-Fkh111] from a heat-inducible transgene that encodes wild-type Fkh protein. Expression of Fkh was induced by incubating prepupae for 30 min in a 37 °C water bath, starting at 9.5 hours after puparium formation. Salivary glands were dissected at 14 hours after puparium formation and RNA isolated for microarray analysis with Affymetrix GeneChips. Control samples were obtained from w1118 animals treated the same way. The microarray analysis identified 55 genes annotated as functioning in apoptosis whose expression was at least 1.5-fold changed by Fkh. These genes include the death genes hid and reaper, which play a central role in the control of salivary gland death. Other groups of significantly enriched genes include genes functioning in autophagy, steroid-signaling pathways, salivary gland secretion, and phospholipid metabolism. In addition, the microarray data identify genes as responsive to Fkh that are known to be controlled by the FOXA counterparts of Fkh in vertebrates, indicating that target genes and biological processes controlled by Fkh are evolutionarily conserved.

Project description:In Drosophila, male-specific FRU (FRUM) is required to establish the potential for courtship behaviors, but the downstream effectors of FRUM during development are largely unknown. A microarray-based approach identified genes that are differentially expressed as a consequence of FRUM in pupae, in both whole body and CNS tissues. Genes were also identified that are sex-differentially expressed in CNS tissues. The FRUM-regulated sets were significantly overrepresented with genes also regulated by the ecdysone regulatory pathway. Two EcR isoforms (EcRA and EcRB1) are expressed in FRUM-expressing neurons during distinct periods of metamorphosis. Males with abrogated EcRA function in FRUM-expressing neurons aggressively court other males. Transcriptional profiles of mutants with abrogated EcRA function in the fru circuit demonstrate that EcR and FRUM regulate common gene sets, including the early gene broad. These results demonstrate a novel role for EcR in specifying male courtship behavior through its actions specifically in the FRUM neural circuitry. All microarrays were dual channel with direct comparisons of male versus female, wild type versus mutant, or experimental versus control. For each experiment, four to eight independent biological samples were analyzed using a dye-swap design. Samples consisted of whole body pupae or dissected CNS collected either at 0 hour After Pupal Formation (APF), 48 hour APF, or 0-24 hour adults.

Project description:Exercise has an measureable impact on gene expression profiles of white blood cells. While subpopulations of white blood cells undergo specific changes in answer to physical load we focused on pan T-lymphocytes and Monocytes. These cells are in direct contact to organs influenced by exercise and additionally should be affected by alterations of nutrient and gas composition in blood, which occur as a consequence of exercise. We screened the gene expression profiles of top athletes at the beginning and the end of the Tour de France 2005 and at at the annual rest period in order to find functional processes that are differentially expressed in answer to the longtime and high load training and competition. Therefor we filtered out genes with significant changes in gene expression more than 1.5fold between two of the three conditions and build overlap lists of this list and GO (gene ontology) lists and KEGG (kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes) lists. We observed a strong decline in immune functions and an equal decline in metabolic processes. Experiment Overall Design: 12 professional cyclists from two german top teams gave written agreement to participate to this study. We collected 12ml of whole blood at each time point and isolated T-lymphocytes out of 4ml and monocytes out of 8ml whole blood. The experimental groups are divided into rest (6 replicates in Tcells/ 7 replicates in Monocytes), start (10 replicates in each cell type) and final (8 replicates in Tcells/ 9 replicates in Monocytes). This means that we collected samples at the beginning and the end of the Tour de France and during the annual rest period of the athletes.
