Project description:Purpose: While studying possible interaction between ras and hsrω genes we found that down- or up- regulation hsrω RNA levels results in further enhancement in activity hyperactive Ras protein in eye discs of Drosophila melanogaster. In order to find out reason underlying this phenomena we checked difference in gene expression between eye discs expressing activated Ras along with alterations in hsrω RNA levels and those expressing activated Ras alone. Method: Eye disc RNA profiles of wandering late third instar larvae of sev-GAL4>UAS-GFP, sev-GAL4>UAS-hsrωRNAi, sev-GAL4>EP3037, sev-GAL4>UAS-RasV12, sev-GAL4>UAS-hsrωRNAi UAS-RasV12 and sev-GAL4>EP3037 UAS-RasV12 were generated by sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina Hiseq2500 platform using 50bp pair-end reads, 12 samples per lane and each sample run across 2 lanes. This resulted in a sequencing depth of ~20 million reads. The resulting sequencing FastQ files were mapped to the Drosophila genome (dm6) using Tophat with Bowtie. The aligned SAM/BAM file for each was processed for guided transcript assembly using Cufflink 2.1.1 and gene counts were determined. Mapped reads were assembled using Cufflinks. Transcripts from all samples were subjected to Cuffmerge to get final transcriptome assembly across samples. In order to ascertain differential expression of gene transcripts between different samples, Cuffdiff 2.1.1 was used (Trapnell et al., 2012). Result: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped about 20 million sequence reads per sample to the Drosophila genome (dm6) and identified 15,905 transcripts with TopHat workflow in each genotypes studied. The sev-GAL4 driven expression of activated Ras in eye discs resulted in differential expression of many genes, with 374 genes being down-regulated and 138 up-regulated, when compared with those in sev-GAL4>UAS-GFP eye discs. Compared to only Ras expressing eye discs in case of down regulation of hsrω RNA in activated Ras background 148 gene were up-regulated while 434 were down-regulated. In eye discs expressing activated Ras alongwith over expression of hsrω RNA, 192 genes were up-regulated and 470 down-regulated compared to only activated Ras expressing eye discs. Some of these (11 genes) were validated using qRT-PCR. Conclusion: In activated Ras expressing eye discs, besides the expected increase in levels of transcripts of genes involved in cell growth, proliferation and differentiation, transcripts of many genes involved in RNA biosynthesis, metabolism and processing were up-regulated when compared with sev-GAL4>UAS-GFP eye discs. Levels of transcripts of none of the known members of Ras/Raf/MAPK signaling pathway were found to be significantly affected by changes in hsrω transcript levels in activated Ras expression background. Interestingly, several sn/snoRNAs along with a scaRNAs and some members of the RNA processing machinery were differentially expressed in activated Ras background and were further affected when the hsrω RNA levels were down-or up-regulated. In addition, while down-regulation of hsrω activity resulted in up-regulation of a few positive modulators of Ras signaling pathway, up-regulation of these transcripts caused down-regulation of the negative regulators of Ras/Raf/MAPK pathway, and thus resulting in increase in Ras activity in either cases.

Project description:We fed wildtype larvae a special diet that lacks precursor molecules necessary for the synthesis of the molting hormone ecdysone required for pupation, thus keeping animals in the larval stage. Importantly, in these larvae, the imaginal discs grow until their terminal size is reached but they do not proceed with differentiation as this requires a pulse of ecdysone. This method thus allowed us to directly compare actively growing discs with discs at the same developmental stage that terminated proliferation after reaching their proper size.

Project description:To probe mechanistic determinants of Yki function in mitochondrial biogenesis, we conducted a genome-wide microarray experiment, and specifically compared expression patterns of genes from control (GMR gal4) and Yorkie over-expressing (GMR gal4; UAS yki) pupal eye discs. The above mentioned genotypes were grown at 29 deg C and at about 40 hrs after pupariation, the pupal eye discs were dissected. RNA was extracted from the pupal eye discs, purified and used to generate microarray probes that were hybridized to the Drosophila genome 2 arrays (Affymetrix). The Gene Chip Operating system (Affymetrix) and dCHIP program (Harvard University) were used to generate pairwise comparisons between the transcription profiles of control and Yorkie over-expressing discs.

Project description:Drosophila mushroom body (MB) γ neurons undergo axon pruning during metamorphosis through a process of localized degeneration of specific axon branches. Developmental axon degeneration is initiated at the onset of metamorphosis by the pre-pupal rise in the steroid hormone ecdysone. This study identifies genes that alter their expression in MB neurons at the onset and early steps of axon pruning. Keywords: timecourse

Project description:We investigated gene expression levels in Heliconius erato butterflies with divergent wing patterns across a 656KB genomic interval linked to the red color pattern wing polymorphism. This included comparison of expression between two H. erato color pattern populations (H. e. petiverana and a H.e. etylus x H. himera hybrid) across three sections of the forewing that differed in pigmentation (the basal, mid, and distal wing sections) and five different stages of pupal development (Day 1, 3, 5 pupae and ommochrome and melanin pigmentation stages). These results allowed us to determine whether certain genes in this interval were differentially expressed between the wing pattern elements, and, therefore, potentially responsible for adaptive color pattern variation in these butterflies. Forewings from a total of 29 individuals, covering three biological replicates of five developmental time points for each of the two H. erato distinct phenotypes were dissected, with the only exception being that there were only two replicates of the day 1 hybrid phenotype. Individuals were reared at 25˚C and dissected at the following stages: a) day 1 = 12 hr after pupation; b) day 3 = 60 hr after pupation; c) day 5 = 108 hr after pupation; d) early ommochrome = ~ 156 hr after pupation when red scales in forewing partially mature, showing a pale orange color; and e) early melanin = ~ 180 hr after pupation melanic scales begin to turn black and are present primarily at the center of the wing. Using wing veins as landmarks, each forewing was cut into three sections corresponding to the color pattern boundaries: basal (F1), middle (F2), and apical (F3). A eight custom-designed Roche NimbleGen 12x135K format microarrays with probes spanning a 656,307bp genomic region (Roche NimbleGen Inc., Madison, Wisconsin, United States) were used to hybridize double stranded cDNA from 87 tissue samples. Repetitive sequence elements found more than five times across all currently available H. erato genomic sequences, including the probed region as well as additional genomic BAC sequences, were masked from the tiling region. The remaining unmasked non-repetitive genomic sequences were tiled using 60 bp probes staggered every 13 bp on average, with slight modifications to ensure probe quality, for a total of 48,547 probes. Microarry design and printing was performed by Roche NimbleGen. cDNA labeling, hybridization, and array scanning was performed by the City of Hope Microarray Facility (Duarte, California, United States). In addition to the probes from the red color pattern intervals, the arrays also include 40,763 probes across two other genomic intervals not addressed in this study, 45,046 probes representing 12450 transcripts from a recent transcriptome assembly at 1-6X coverage, and 3248 random probes. Results from the transcriptome and other color pattern intervals will be published separately, however, we analyzed all probes together for array normalization and quality control.

Project description:The goal of this gene expression profiling experiment was to identify the entire set of transcription factors expressed during late pupal wing development (~80h APF) when pigmentation genes are expressed We used Affymetrix microarrays to profile the expression of the transcription factors in late pupal wings of Oregon R flies. The staging of the flies was made by eye, based on the extent of wing pigmentation. RNA was extracted from batches of 40 flies and three biological replicates were analyzed.
