Project description:Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) direct RNA interference (RNAi) in eukaryotes. In flies, somatic cells produce siRNAs from exogenous double-stranded RNA as a defense against viral infection. Here, we identify 21-nt long, endogenous siRNAs (endo-siRNAs) corresponding to transposons and heterochromatic sequences in the somatic cells of Drosophila melanogaster. We also detected endo-siRNAs complementary to mRNAs: these siRNAs disproportionately mapped to the complementary regions of overlapping mRNAs predicted to form dsRNA in vivo. Normal accumulation of somatic endo-siRNAs requires the siRNA-generating ribonuclease, Dicer-2, and the RNAi effector protein, Ago2. We propose that endo-siRNAs generated by the fly RNAi pathway silence selfish genetic elements in the soma much as piRNAs do in the germ line. Keywords: Small RNA detection and quantification. Small RNAs (18-30 nt) from fly heads (WT, ago2 mutants, dcr-2 homozygous and heterozygous mutants, and WT expressing an inverted repeat directed against exon 3 of the gene "white") and S2 cells (transgenic for a construct expressing siRNAs against white and GFP) were sequenced using a Solexa Genome Analyzer instrument.

Project description:Deciphering the pathophysiological mechanisms that lead from the alteration of human Tau biology to neuronal death in tauopathies including Alzheimer's disease (AD), fronto-temporal dementia with parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17), Pick's disease (PiD), corticobasal degeneration (CBD) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) depends notably on the identification of Tau cellular partners and a better understanding of Tau functions. In this aim, we performed gene expression profiling to identify upregulated and downregulated genes in response to ectopic induced expression for 3 days of human Tau0N4RWT protein in Drosophila primary neuronal cultures from Elav-GAL4GS larval brains.

Project description:The development of an effective therapy against tauopathies like Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) remains challenging, partly due to limited access to fresh brain tissue, the lack of translational in vitro disease models and the fact that underlying molecular pathways remain to be deciphered. Several genes play an important role in the pathogenesis of AD and FTD, one of them being the MAPT gene encoding the microtubule-associated protein tau. Over the past few years, it has been shown that induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) can be used to model various human disorders and can serve as translational in vitro tools. Therefore, we generated iPSC harboring the pathogenic FTDP-17 (frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17) associated mutations IVS10+16 with and without P301S in MAPT using Zinc Finger Nuclease technology. Whole transcriptome analysis of MAPT IVS10+16 neurons reveals neuronal subtype differences, reduced neural progenitor proliferation potential and aberrant WNT signaling. Notably, all phenotypes were recapitulated using patient-derived neurons. Finally, an additional P301S mutation causes an increased calcium bursting frequency, reduced lysosomal acidity and tau oligomerization. Altogether, these tau mutant iPSC lines allow us to study IVS10+16 and P301S mutations in an isogenic background and to unravel a potential link between pathogenic 4R tau expression and FTDP-17.

Project description:Somatic embryos are very much similar to zygotic counterparts in many morphological aspects and the somatic embryos are derived from somatic cells by undergoing various metabolic regulations. The somatic embryos have been used in artificial seed technology, genetic engineering and germplasm conservation. Though somatic embryo development is an important topic in growth and developmental studies, the molecular mechanism underlying the developmental process remains unclear. Therefore, understanding the molecular basis behind somatic embryo development can provide insight on the signaling pathways integrating this process. Proteomic analysis of somatic embryo development in cv. Grand Naine (AAA) was carried out to identify the differentially accumulated protein using two dimensional gel electrophoresis coupled with mass spectrometry. In total, 25 protein spots were differentially accumulated in different developmental stages of somatic embryos. Among them, three proteins were uniquely present in 30 days globular stage somatic embryos and six proteins were uniquely present in 60 days matured somatic embryo. Functional annotation of identified spots showed that major proteins are involved in growth and developmental process (17 %) followed by defense response (12%) and signal transportation events (12 %). In early stage, cell division and growth related proteins were involved in the induction of somatic embryos whereas in late developmental stage, cell wall modification proteins along with stress related proteins like played a defense role against dehydration and osmotic stress and resulted in maturation of somatic embryo. Alongside some identified stage specific proteins are valuable indicators and have been used as genetic markers.

Project description:Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) is an adult-onset syndrome characterized by progressive degeneration of particular muscles. OPMD is caused by short GCG repeat expansions within the gene encoding the nuclear poly(A)-binding protein 1 (PABPN1) that extend an N-terminal polyalanine tract in the protein. Mutant PABPN1 aggregates as nuclear inclusions in OMPD patient muscles. We have created a Drosophila model of OPMD that recapitulates the features of the human disorder: progressive muscle degeneration, with muscle defects proportional to the number of alanines in the tract, and formation of PABPN1 nuclear inclusions. Wild-type human PABPN1 contains a stretch of 10 alanines following the initial methionine, which is expanded to 12–17 alanines in OPMD patients. In Drosophila, the PABPN1 homolog is the poly(A)-binding protein 2 (PABP2), which has the same function as PABPN1 in nuclear polyadenylation but lacks a polyalanine tract at the N-terminus. We used the UAS/Gal4 system to express mammalian PABPN1 in Drosophila. An alanine-expanded PABPN1 cDNA (encoding the 17 alanine tract) was cloned downstream of UAS sequences (UAS-PABPN1). Transgenic lines containing this construct were crossed to a Mhc-Gal4 driver, leading to muscle-specific expression. To gain insight into the molecular and physiological defects in OPMD we performed a transcriptomic analysis in OPMD fly muscles. Using microarrays, thorax gene expression was compared between control flies (Mhc-Gal4/+) and flies expressing PABPN1-17ala in thoracic muscles (UAS-PABPN1-17ala/+; Mhc-Gal4/+), at three time points (days 2, 6 and 11).
