Transcriptome profiling of Drosophila motor neurons with age

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this array was to investigate age-dependent changes the transcriptome of a highly homogenous cell population (Drosophila motor neurons) in order to help understand the contribution of changes in gene expression to age-dependent motor deficiencies. Drosophila motor neurons expressing GFP (via the UAS-Gal4 binary expression system) were isolated using flow cytometry from flies that were 7, 35 or 45 days old. The microarray design was highly redundant for calcium-binding and ion channel genes as we had apriori reasons to believe changes in these genes would be important. The ages were chosen because previous work had identified a major shift in neurotransmitter release between the ages of 35 and 45 days in Drosophila motor neurons. Although no significant changes were identified in that window, several genes showed elevated expression in old (35 day and 45 day) motor neurons compared to young (7 day) including matrix metalloproteinase 1 (dMMP1).

Aging alters mechanisms underlying voluntary movements in spinal motor neurons of mice, primates and humans.

Project description:Spinal motor neurons have been implicated in the loss of motor function that occurs with advancing age. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms that impair the function of these neurons during aging remain unknown. Here, we show that motor neurons do not die in old female and male mice, rhesus monkeys, and humans. Instead, these neurons selectively shed excitatory synaptic inputs throughout the soma and dendritic arbor during aging. By examining the translatome , we also show that aging alters the molecular composition of motor neurons in both male and female mice. Aging motor neurons present with changes in genes and molecular pathways with roles in glia-mediated synaptic pruning, and inflammation. They also exhibit changes in pathways with roles in axonal regeneration caused by axotomy and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Thus, we have identified cellular and molecular mechanisms altered in aged motor neurons that could serve as therapeutic targets to preserve motor function during aging.

Increasing Engagement With Messages Regarding CRC Screening Among Adults Aged 45-49

Project description:In May of 2021, the United States Preventive Service Task Force (USPSTF) updated their colorectal cancer (CRC) screening guidelines by recommending screening at an earlier age for average-risk adults starting at the age of 45 years old (Grade B recommendation). This is in addition to their Grade A recommendations of continuing to screen average-risk adults ages 50-75 years old. As the investigators health system aims to screen the newly eligible population of average-risk patients between the ages of 45-49, the investigators proposed randomized controlled trial is aimed to determine the most effective patient outreach approach to increase patients’ engagement with messages regarding CRC screening and screening uptake within this specific age-group.

Project description:An individual’s gene expression profile changes throughout life. This change in gene expression is shaped by differences in physiological needs and functions between the younger and older organism. Here we report a transcriptomic analysis of Drosophila melanogaster using microarrays. We compared the expression profiles of two-day-old female adult flies with those of 45-day-old flies. We identified 1184 genes with pronounced expression level differences between young and old age groups. Most genes involved in muscle development/maintenance that display different levels of expression with age were downregulated in older flies. Many of these genes contributed to sarcomere formation and function. Several of these genes were functionally related to direct and indirect flight muscles; some of them were exclusively expressed in these muscles. Conversely, several genes involved in apoptosis processes were upregulated in aging flies. Close to half of these genes, such as different caspases, promote cell death, whereas the other half is associated with the inhibition of apoptosis. Several genes that inhibit apoptosis contribute to cell-type maintenance for different cell groups, including neurons, cardiac cells, and salivary gland cells. In addition, several genes involved in resistance to toxic chemicals were upregulated in aging flies, which is consistent with a global upregulation of the defense response system in aging flies. Finally, 232 of the differentially expressed genes had no known functions.

Modular evolution of the Drosophila metabolome

Project description:In this study, we look at both targeted and untargeted metabolomic data from both sexes and 11 species of Drosophila. For the targeted analysis, we also looked at two ages to understand conserved changes with age in the Drosophila genus.

The Impact of Choice on Colorectal Cancer Screening

Project description:In May of 2021, the United States Preventive Service Task Force (USPSTF) updated their colorectal cancer (CRC) screening guidelines by recommending screening at an earlier age for average-risk adults starting at the age of 45 years old (Grade B recommendation). This is in addition to their Grade A recommendations of continuing to screen average-risk adults ages 50-75 years old. UCLA Health previously implemented a fecal immunochemical test (FIT) outreach program wherein FIT kits are mailed to average-risk patients overdue for CRC screening twice annually to promote screening uptake. As the investigators health system aims to screen the newly eligible population of average-risk patients between the ages of 45-49, the investigators proposed randomized controlled trial is aimed to determine the most effective patient outreach approach to maximize screening uptake within this age-group.

Transcriptional Dynamics of Motor Neuron Maturation in vivo and in vitro

Project description:Mouse spinal motor neurons are specified in the embryo on embrynic day 9.5 (E9.5), but motor function doesn't fully mature till the third week of postnatal life (P14-P21) and the degenerative disease Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis only affects motor neurons in adulthood (age of onset differs between models). In order to better understand motor neuron maturation, we have generated a temporal map of motor neuron transcriptional states at E10.5, E13.5, P4, P13, P21, P56, 2yr. In addition we have also profiled stem cell derived motor neurons that were co-cultured with astrocytes at DIV0, DIV7, DIV28.

Genome-wide R-loop distribution in Drosophila photoreceptor neurons throughout aging

Project description:We report the application of R-loop mapping in a cell-type specific context using photoreceptor neurons at different ages, as measured by days post eclosion (Day 10, Day 30 and Day 50). To validate our approach, we also performed R-loop mapping in 10 day old nuclei that were treated with RNAse H1 for 3 hours prior to application of MapR.
