RNA-seq in primary Harpegnathos neuronal cultures stimulated with 20E or JH3

Project description:We cultured primary Harpegnathos neurons in a medium containing 20E or JH3 and then switched the hormones. RNA-seq was performed 30 minutes, 6 hours, or 24 hours after the switch. To determine baseline expression in the cultures before the switch we also performed RNA-seq on the 6-day-old cultures 30 minues after addition of vehicle (DMSO).

RNA sequencing of Harpegnathos saltator workers's non-visual brains, ovaries, and fat bodies injected with juvenile hormone (JH) or ecdysone (Ec).

Project description:In ant Harpegnathos saltator, workers can become the reproductive gamergates in a queenless condition. During the worker-to-gamergate transition, juvenile hormone signaling decreases but ovarian ecdysone production increases in the gamergate. Injecting juvenile hormone analog (JHA or methoprene) induces expression of worker-biased genes in the brain , while ecydsone promotes expression of ecdysone-responsive genes in ovaries.

20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) induced transcriptional changes in the atrium and spermatheca of female Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes 24 hours after 20E injection compared to ethanol treated controls.

Project description:Male Anophele gambiae mosquitoes transfer the steroid hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) to the female lower reproductive tract during mating. We have shown that this sexually transferred hormone is a key regulator of monandry and oviposition in An. gambiae females. In order to identify possible molecular pathways underlying the effects induced by sexually transferred 20E we investigated the transcriptional response in the atrium and spermatheca at 24 hours after 20E injection in the thorax of virgin females, which delivers to these reproductive tissues 20E levels comparable to those detected after mating. By comparing these results to those of microarrays assessing the post-mating transcriptional response in the female lower reproductive tract (LRT) at 24 hours post copulation, we were able to identify mating responsive genes likely regulated by male transferred 20E. For each experiment atrium and spermatheca were dissected from females 24 hours after 20E or ethanol (10%) injection and transcriptional profiles compared across 4 biological replicates using Agilent two-color microarrays

RNA sequencing of Harpegnathos saltator workers and gamergates' non-visual brains, ovaries, and fat bodies at 0, 3, and 10 days after initiation of the dueling tournament

Project description:Ant societies exhibit a division of labor in which a queen is in charge of reproduction while non-reproductive workers maintain the colony. In Harpegnathos saltator, workers retain reproductive ability, inhibited by the queen pheromones. Following the queen loss, the colony undergoes social unrest with an antenna dueling tournament. Most workers quickly abandon the tournament while a few workers continue the dueling for months and become gamergates (pseudoqueens). However, the temporal dynamics of the molecular mechanisms underlining the caste transition and social dominance remain unclear. To identify genetic factors responsible for this transition, we compared transcriptomes of ovary, fat body, and non-visual brains between dueling and non-dueling workers.

A male-specific steroid hormone controls female reproductive biology in the malaria mosquito

Project description:Insects, unlike vertebrates, are generally believed to lack steroid hormones with functions predominantly associated with adult male biology. In the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae, the ecdysteroid 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) appears to both control egg development in females and induce mating refractoriness and oviposition when sexually transferred by males. Here we show that these sex-specific functions are instead carried out by distinct steroids. We identify a male-specific oxidized form of 20E (3D20E) that upon sexual transfer switches off female mating receptivity, ensuring male paternity. Endogenous female 20E does not induce mating refractoriness, while it triggers oviposition in mated females when expression of a 20E-inhibiting kinase is repressed. 3D20E and 20E have different downstream targets, with 3D20E inducing expression of a tolerance factor that preserves female fitness during Plasmodium infection. The evolution of this male steroid has therefore not only shaped the mating biology of An. gambiae, but also impacted malaria transmission.

Whole body transcriptional response of female fruitflies to juvenile hormone

Project description:Juvenile hormone (JH) and 20-hydroxy-ecdysone (20E) are highly versatile hormones, coordinating development, growth, and reproduction in insects. Pulses of 20E provide key signals for initiating developmental and physiological transitions, while JH promotes or inhibits these signals in a stage-specific manner. Previous evidence suggests that JH and 20E might modulate innate immunity, but whether and how these hormones interact to regulate the immune response remains unclear. Here we show that JH and 20E have antagonistic effects on the expression of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in Drosophila melanogaster. In S2* cells challenged with bacterial peptidoglycans, 20E induces promoter activity and expression of AMPs in a dose-dependent manner, while JH III and its synthetic analogs (JHa) methoprene and pyriproxyfen abolish this 20E-dependent response. Using microarrays and GFP reporter gene assays in adult flies, we confirm that JH is a hormonal immuno-suppressor in vivo. When silencing both partners of the ecdysone receptor (EcR ) / ultraspiracle (USP) heterodimer with RNAi in S2* cells, 20E fails to activate Diptericin (Dpt) expression, suggesting that 20E regulates expression of this gene through EcR / USP signaling. In contrast, silencing methoprene-tolerant (MET), a candidate JH receptor, does not impair the immuno-suppressive action of JH III and JHa, indicating that in this context MET does not function as a JH receptor. Our results suggest that the balance of 20E and JH is a major determinant of immune homeostasis in insects. Keywords: Topical hormone treatment of whole flies
