Determination of Shavenbaby target genes in early Enterocytes (eECs)

ABSTRACT: Shavenbaby (Svb) transcription factor is involved in the homeostasis of intestinal stem cells (ISCs), and the differentiation of their enteroblast progeny (EB) into enterocytes (EC). Svb is produced as a long repressor protein called SvbRepressor (SvbREP). In presence of Pri peptides SvbREP is processed into a shorter activator form (SvbACT) through partial proteasomal degradation of the REP domain. In ISCs/EBs, Pri triggers SvbREP to ACT maturation, while SvbREP form accumulates in differentiated enterocytes. The absence of Svb promote the apoptosis of the intestinal stem cells. In ISCs/EBs, the ectopic expression of SvbREP form promotes the differentiation and the overexpression of SvbACT promotes hyperplasia. (Al Hayek, et al 2020) Based on these functional analyses, Svb appears to control ISC/EB survival and behavior, balancing proliferation and differentiation through a molecular switch between its 2 antagonistic isoforms. In this study, we determine the Svb target genes in different cell types along the intestinal cell lineage. This particular metadata sheet refers to early enterocytes (eEC) transcriptomic data (RNAseq) in control condition and upon modulation of Svb function.

Project description:Purpose: We isolated Drosophila midgut cells : Delta+ intestinal stem cells (ISCs), Su(H)+enteroblasts (EBs), Esg+ cells (ISC+EB), Myo1A+Enterocytes (ECs), Pros+Enteroendocrine cells (EEs) and How+Visceral muscle cells (VM) from whole midguts to identify stem cell specific genes and study cell type specificities of midgut cells. We also isolated all the cell types from the 5 major regions (R1-R5) of the Drosophila midgut to study differences in cells in different regions. Methods: 3-7 day old female flies were dissected. Flies with GFP/YFP marking different cell types (using the GAL4-UAS system) were used to separate cells of the midgut.The midguts were dissociated with Elastase and FACS sorted using FACS AriaIII. RNA was extracted, amplified and sequenced. Whole midgut samples were sequenced on Illumina GAIIX and regional cell populations were sequenced on HiSeq2000. Methods:Raw fastqc reads were mapped to the Drosophila genome (Drosophila_melanogaster.BDGP5.70.dna.toplevel.fa) using Tophat 2.0.9 at default (using boost_1_54_0, bowtie2-2.1.0, samtools-0.1.19). Methods: For differential expression analysis, DESeq (p-value adjustment 0.05 by method Benjamini-Hochberg) was used. The reads were normalized also to Reads per kilobase of transcript per million mapped reads (RPKM). Results: More than 50% of the genome is expressed in the adult midgut (FlyAtlas- Chintapalli et al., 2007), of these genes about 50% (2457) were differentially expressed (DE) between all 4 cell types (ISCs, EBs, ECs and EEs) atleast 2 folds with 95% confidence Results: 159 genes that were specifically enriched in ISCs, 509 genes were specifically repressed in ISCs Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of Drosophila intestinal cell transcriptomes, with biologic replicates, generated by RNA-seq technology.Our data facilitates comparative investigations of expression profiles of cells and reveals novel stem cell genes. Further region specific profiling adds precision to the analysis of variances in the midgut regions. We identify transcriptional regulators and regional transcription factors which modulate the midgut physiology. The dataset will be a great resource for hypothesis generation, tool building and fine tuned studies on the Drosophila midgut. mRNA profiles of Drosophila intestinal cells from whole midguts and midgut regions were generated by Deep Sequencing. Whole midgut profiles were generated in triplicates (Illumina GAIIx, 72 bp read length) and regional cell type profiles were genrated in duplicates (HiSeq 2000, 50bp read length).
