Transcriptomic study of the Drosophila midgut during larval development

ABSTRACT: The main goal of this study was to characterize the transcriptome of the Drosophila midgut during larval development. Larval midguts were collected on three different days during development for RNA extraction and mRNA-seq. Our data show that a drastic transcriptomic change occurs in the midgut between the third and fourth day of larval life, corresponding to the entry into the third instar.

Expression profile of third instar larval fat body and midgut tissues

Project description:We use mRNA-seq to transcriptionally profile larval fat body and midgut tissues from Drosophila third instar larvae. These data provide insights into tissue physiology and can be used to identify tissue specific transcripts. Fat bodies from wandering third instar larvae were dissected from ~50 male larvae and gonads were removed to eliminate contaminating transctips from the gonads. Larval midguts were dissected from ~50 wandering third instar larvae. Larval tissues were removed to Graces unsupplemented medium on ice prior to RNA extraction with TRIzol reagent. mRNA-seq samples were prepared from 5ug of total RNA and subject to Illumina based sequencing.

Transcriptional Signatures in Response to Wheat Germ Agglutinin and Starvation in Drosophila melanogaster Larval Midgut

Project description:One function of plant lectins is to serve as defenses against herbivorous insects. The midgut is the critical site affected by dietary lectins such as wheat germ agglutinin (WGA). We observed marked cellular structural and gene expression changes in Drosophila melanogaster third-instar larval midguts from insects WGA-fed or starved. Dietary WGA caused shortening, branching, swelling, distortion and in some cases disintegration of the midgut microvilli (Mv). Starvation was accompanied by shortening of the Mv. Microarray analyses revealed that dietary WGA evolved differential expression of 62 transcripts; seven of which were also differentially expressed in starved insects. The differentially regulated gene cluster in WGA-fed larvae were associated with (i) cytoskeletal organization, (ii) immune responses, (iii) detoxification reactions, and (iv) energy metabolism. Four putative transcription factor binding motifs (TFBMs) were associated with the differentially-expressed genes. At least one of these putative TFBMs exhibited substantial similarity to MyoD, a TFBM associated with cellular structures in mammals. These results are in keeping with the hypothesis that WGA causes a starvation-like effect as well as structural changes of midgut cells of Drosophila third-instar larvae. Keywords: stress response

Characterization of the effect of hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 (Hnf4) silencing in enterocytes on gene expression in the developing Drosophila larval midgut

Project description:The main objective of this study was to characterize the effects of Hnf4 silencing in enterocytes (ECs) on the Drosophila midgut during larval development. Larval midguts from control animals and animals expressing Hnf4 RNAi in ECs were collected on day three and four after egg laying, corresponding to the late L2 and early L3 stages, respectively. Midguts were then processed for RNA extraction and mRNA sequencing. Our mRNA-seq study reveals significant changes in the transcriptome of control midguts between days three and four of larval development, with increased expression of numerous genes involved in lipid metabolism. Silencing Hnf4 largely suppresses this transcriptional switch, highlighting the role of this nuclear receptor in inducing intestinal lipid metabolism during larval development.

Whole genome expression analysis in the third-instar larval midgut of Drosophila melanogaster

Project description:Survival of insects on a substrate containing toxic substances such as plant secondary metabolites or insecticides is dependent on the metabolism or excretion of those xenobiotics. The primary sites of xenobiotic metabolism are the midgut, Malpighian tubules and fat body. In general, these organs are treated as single tissues by online databases, but several studies have shown that gene expression within subsections of the midgut is compartmentalized. In this article, RNA sequencing analysis was used to investigate whole-genome expression in subsections of the third-instar larval midgut. The results support functional diversification in subsections of the midgut. Analysis of the expression of gene families that are implicated in the metabolism of xenobiotics suggests that metabolism may not be uniform along the midgut. These data provide a starting point for investigating gene expression and xenobiotic metabolism in the larval midgut.

Transcription profiling of Drosophila third instar larvae midgut

Project description:Oligoarray analysis was used to determine the number and nature of genes expressed in third-instar Drosophila melanogaster larval midguts. The majority of transcripts were associated with protein synthesis and metabolism. Serine proteases were the main proteolytic enzymes detected. Experiment Overall Design: Three replicates for each sample. We used Affy chip Drosophila 1.
