Single cell transcriptional profile of third instar larval wing discs in Drosophila using drop-seq (single cell RNA-seq)

ABSTRACT: Our study focuses on understanding the early transcriptional changes taking place during the divergence of the adult muscle precursors that give rise to indirect flight muscles and direct flight muscles in Drosophila. We analyzed the heterogenous cell population of the adult muscle precursors by scRNA-seq and build an integrated single-cell reference atlas. We addressed the differences among muscle-type and different cell state during myoblast differentiation. Also, our dataset includes the transcriptional profile of the epithelial cells localized in the presumptive hinge and notum of third instar larval wing discs. In addition we studied the functional relevance of Amalgam in flight muscle development by depleting Ama expression specifically in the adult muscle precursors. We determined the transcriptional changes and perturbations in AMP cell identity upon Ama knockdown.

Transcriptional profile of larval notum and flight muscle in Rbf knockdown and WT Drosophila flies

Project description:Our study focuses on understanding how Rbf impacts the formation of flight muscles in Drosophila. We analyzed by RNA-seq the transcriptional changes dependent on Rbf in proliferating adult muscle precursors and in mature flight muscles at two different stages of Drosophila development

The RNA binding protein Arrest (Aret) regulates myofibril maturation in Drosophila flight muscle

Project description:In Drosophila, fibrillar flight muscles (IFMs) enable flight, while tubular muscles mediate other body movements. Here, we use RNA-sequencing and isoform-specific reporters to show that spalt major (salm) determines fibrillar muscle physiology by regulating transcription and alternative splicing of a large set of sarcomeric proteins. We identify the RNA binding protein Arrest (Aret, Bruno) as downstream of salm. Aret shuttles between cytoplasm and nuclei, and is essential for myofibril maturation and sarcomere growth of IFMs. Molecularly, Aret regulates IFM-specific transcription and splicing of various sarcomeric targets, including Stretchin and wupA (TnI), and thus maintains muscle fiber integrity. As Aret and its sarcomeric targets are evolutionarily conserved, similar principles may regulate mammalian muscle morphogenesis. 9 samples from Drosophila melanogaster were analyzed in duplicate: control dissected wildtype flight muscle at 30h APF, 72h APF and 0 day adult, jump muscle and whole leg from 1d adult and RNAi/mutant conditions for salm (1d flight muscle) and aret (30h, 72h and 1d flight muscle)

An Evolutionarily Conserved Regulatory Pathway of Muscle Mitochondrial Network Organization

Project description:Mitochondrial networks provide coordinated energy distribution throughout muscle cells. However, pathways specifying mitochondrial network-type separately from contractile fiber-type remain unclear. Here, we show that natural energetic demands placed on Drosophila melanogaster muscles yield native cell-types among which contractile and mitochondrial network-types are regulated independently. Proteomic analyses of indirect flight, jump, and leg muscles together with muscles misexpressing known fiber-type specification factor salm identified transcription factors H15 and cut as potential mitochondrial network regulators. We demonstrate H15 operates downstream of salm regulating flight muscle contractile and mitochondrial network-type. Conversely, H15 regulates mitochondrial network configuration but not contractile type in jump and leg muscles. Further, we find that cut regulates salm expression in flight muscles and mitochondrial network configuration in leg muscles. These data indicate cell type-specific regulation of muscle mitochondrial network organization separately from contractile type, mitochondrial content, and mitochondrial size through an evolutionarily conserved pathway involving cut, salm, and H15.

The Hippo pathway controls myofibril assembly and muscle fiber growth by regulating sarcomeric gene expression

Project description:Skeletal muscles are comprised of gigantic multinucleated cells called muscle fibers, which often span several centimetres in length. Each muscle fiber is densely packed with contractile force-producing myofibrils and ATP-producing mitochondria. During animal development the size of the individual muscle fibers must dramatically increase to match the growth of the animal and to connect growing skeletal elements. How such dramatic tissue growth is coordinated with growth of the contractile apparatus in the muscle fibers is not well understood. Here, we use the large Drosophila flight muscles to mechanistically decipher how muscle fiber growth is controlled during development. We isolated flight muscles from Drosophila melanogaster pupae at 24 h and 32 h APF of the genotypes wt, Dlg5-IR, Slmap-IR, Yorkie-CA, Hippo-IR and isolated total RNA for subsequent BRB-seq sequencing. Our study reveals that regulated activity of core members of the Hippo pathway, Hippo, Warts and Yorkie is required to support post-mitotic flight muscle growth. Interestingly, we identify Dlg5 and Slmap as important members of the STRIPAK phosphatase complex, which negatively regulates Hippo activity and therefore enables post-mitotic muscle growth. Mechanistically, we find that the Hippo pathway controls the timing and the levels of sarcomeric gene expression during muscle development and thus regulates the key components that mediate muscle fiber growth. Since Dlg5, STRIPAK and the Hippo pathway are conserved in mammals a similar mechanism may contribute to skeletal muscle or cardiac growth in humans.

Single-cell transcriptomics of the Drosophila wing disc reveals instructive epithelium-to-myoblast interactions

Project description:In both vertebrates and invertebrates, generating a functional appendage requires interactions between ectoderm-derived epithelia and mesoderm-derived cells. To investigate such interactions, we used single-cell transcriptomics to generate a temporal cell atlas of the Drosophila wing disc from two developmental time points. Using these data, we visualized gene expression using a multi-layered model of the wing disc and catalogued ligand-receptor pairs that could mediate signaling between epithelial cells and adult muscle precursors (AMPs). We found that localized expression of the FGF ligands, Thisbe and Pyramus, in the disc epithelium regulates the number and location of the AMPs. In addition, Hedgehog ligand from the epithelium activates a specific transcriptional program within adjacent AMP cells, defined by AMP-specific targets Neurotactin and midline, that is critical for proper formation of direct flight muscles. More generally, our annotated temporal cell atlas provides an organ-wide view of potential cell-cell interactions between epithelial and myogenic cells.
