Project description:Analysis of genomic methylation differences between day workers and shift workers. We hypothesized that there would be differences in methylation patterns between day workers and shift workers, and that some of these differences may explain the association between long-term shift work and breast cancer. The array provides methylation data on more than 27,000 CpG sites spread across the genome. Bisulfite-converted DNA from 10 day workers and 10 shift workers were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 27k Human Methylation Beadchip v1.2.

Project description:In social insects, workers perform distinct tasks according to the caste they belong to, and workers from different castes differ in their age (nest workers are usually younger than foragers are). The caste shift thus seems inseparable from age, preventing from deciphering the role of labour division and age in regulating individual physiology and ageing rates. We set up an experimental protocol separating age and caste effects by defining four groups of black garden ant (Lasius niger) workers: young foragers (Y.F), old foragers (O.F), young nest workers (Y.NW) and old nest workers (O.NW). Proteomics highlighted differences between individuals according to their age, whereas metabolomics revealed caste-related differences. Our study highlighted that age and caste influence specifically different aspects of the physiology of ant workers.

Project description:This study aims to examine global gene expression profiles before and after the work-shift among coke-oven workers (COW). COW work six consecutive days and then take two days off. Two blood and urine samples in each worker were collected before starting to work after two-days off and end-of-shift in the sixth-day work in 2009. Altered gene expressions (ratio of gene expression levels between end-of-shift and pre-shift work) were performed by Human OneArray expression system which probes ~30,000-transcription expression profiling of human genes. Sixteen workers, all men, were enrolled in this study. Median urinary 1-hydroxypyrene (1OHP) levels (mole/mole creatinine) in end-of-shift work were significantly higher than those in pre-shift work (2.58 vs. 0.29, p = 0.0002). Among the 20,341 genes which passed experimental quality control, 26 gene expression changes, 7 positively- and 19 negatively-, were highly correlated with across-the-shift urinary 1OHP levels (end-of-shift – pre-shift 1OHP) (p-value < 0.001). The high and low exposure groups of across-the-shift urinary 1OHP levels dichotomized in ~2.00 µmole/mole creatinine were able to be distinguished by these 26 genes. Some of them are known to be involved in apoptosis, chromosome stability/DNA repair, cell cycle control/tumor suppressor, cell adhesion, development/spermatogenesis, immune function, and neuronal cell function. Sixteen coke-oven workers who had worked in one of two coke-oven plants for at least one year in the largest steel company in Taiwan voluntarily participated in this study between July-October, 2009. Coke-oven workers regularly work 6 days and take two days off. Thus, we collected their blood and urine samples at two different time points: one was during the pre-shift work on the first day after two days off, and the second one was at the end-of-shift work on the 6th work day. Information about age and smoking status was also collected before the collection of biological specimens.

Project description:<p>The study was initially designed as a longitudinal cohort study of cardiovascular effects of particulate exposure. Participants were boilermaker construction workers who were exposed to particulate matter (PM) component (e.g. a focus on metal constituents) while performing welding, grinding or cutting work in the welding plants. Participants were followed up approximately half a year for a non-work day and a work day from 1999 to 2012, and blood, urine, blood pressure, as well as real-time PM2.5 samples were collected from each participant. In this specific study, we conducted epigenome-wide DNA methylation profiling through Center for Inherited Disease Research (CIDR) services using Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450, which will give us more compete epigenome-wide coverage. Genome-wide DNA methylation was carried out on paired samples pre- and post-work shift at a welding apprentice school. With transcriptomic and metabolomic data already generated from the same panel study, we will be able to conduct integrative analysis to gain insights into mechanisms of gene-metal interactions and maximize the probability of finding genes functionally relevant to PM-induced adverse cardiovascular outcomes. </p>

Project description:Apis mellifera workers in temperate climates display two castes; short lived summer bees that engage in nursing, hive maintenance and foraging, and long lived winter bees (diutinus bees) which remain within the hive and are essential for thermoregulation. Label free quantitative proteomic analysis was conducted on A. mellifera workers sampled from July to October 2019 to compare the proteomes of workers as the colony progresses through the year. Proteomic analysis revealed a shift in protein expression in workers in September and October in comparison to July and August samples. Workers samples in September and October had a higher abundance of proteins associated with oxidative phosphorylation and storage proteins such as hexamerin. Interestingly, a shift in protein expression was detected in newly emerged bees between July to October, providing evidence that workers have adapted to emerge with a different protein profile in preparation for the winter months.

Project description:Ants are among the most successful animals on earth, with societies of a complexity that rivals our own. These societies are characterized by reproductive division of labor between female queens that can live several years and lay thousands of eggs per day, workers that live only a few months and are sterile, and males that live only a few weeks and do not participate in colony tasks. These striking differences in lifespan and roles are echoed by extensive morphological and physiological divergence. Using the fire ant, Solenopsis invicta, we conduct the first genome-wide survey of developmental gene expression levels over 20 time-points from larval to adult stages in workers, queens and males

Project description:This experiment examines differences in gene expression between wildtype and an experimental strain (anarchistic) of worker honey bees (Apis mellifera). Mature wildtype and anarchistic workers tend to have non-active and active ovaries, respectively. Thus young workers from these strains are expected to show differential expression at loci involved in the regulation of worker reproduction, which occurs via arrhenotokous parthenogenesis.
