Metabolic analysis of wound response in Wolbachia infected Drosophila melanogaster

ABSTRACT:

Viral studies of Drosophila melanogaster typically involve virus injection with a small needle, causing post-injury a wounding/wound healing response, in addition to the effects of viral infection. However, the metabolic response to the needle injury is understudied, and many viral investigations neglect potential effects of this response. Furthermore, the wMel strain of the endosymbiont bacterium Wolbachia pipientis provides anti-viral protection in Drosophila. Here we used NMR-based metabolomics to characterise the acute wounding response in Drosophila and the relationship between wound healing and the Wolbachia strain wMel. The most notable response to wounding was found on the initial day of injury and lessened with time in both uninfected and Wolbachia infected flies. Metabolic changes in injured flies revealed evidence of inflammation, Warburg-like metabolism and the melanisation immune response as a response to wounding. In addition, at five days post injury Wolbachia infected injured flies were metabolically more similar to the uninjured flies than uninfected injured flies were at the same time point, indicating a positive interaction between Wolbachia infection and wound healing. This study is the first metabolomic characterisation of the wound response in Drosophila and its findings are crucial to the metabolic interpretation of viral experiments in Drosophila in both past and future studies.

Wound healing process after TBI in zebrafish: time course (zebrafish)

Project description:The interaction between neurogenesis and angiogenesis after traumatic brain injury is a complex and dynamic process. To resolve this, we chose the zebrafish model organism for studying brain wound healing via systems biology approach. Transcriptome microarray data and histological analysis of injured fish were sampled at different time points during recovery process. Time-course microarray data following wound healing of zebrafish were obtained. From this set of data, we constructed two intracellular proteinM-bM-^@M-^Sprotein interaction (PPI) networks for the traumatic brain injury healing mechanism. Each fish in each group was injured by a 1.5 mm, 27G needle tip from day 0 to 28, respectively. These injured fish were collected at 0, 0.25, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28 dpi (day post injury). 0.625M-NM-<g of Cy3 cRNA for C. albicans array and 1.65 M-NM-<g of Cy3 cRNA for zebrafish array was fragmented to an average size of about 50-100 nucleotides by incubation with fragmentation buffer at 60M-BM-0C for 30 minutes. Each time point contain two biological repeats.

A Drosophila chitinase-like protein has an immune function.

Project description:In the present study we analyzed the function of one member of Drosophila CLPs namely Drosophila IDGF3 with a special focus on immunity. We found that Idgf3 mutants are homozygous viable, and have defects in hemolymph clotting, which is the earliest of Drosophila larvae response after injury. We could further demonstrate that IDGF3 contributes to fly immunity: idgf3 mutants show increased sensitivity to Gram-negative bacteria as well as increased mortality after nematode infections. IDGF3 overexpression leads to a hyper-coagulation phenotype in larvae and a decrease in viability of adult flies. Transcription profiling further confirmed that IDGF3 is involved in the activation of innate defense mechanisms and signal pathways connected to wound healing and regenerative processes. A large fraction of immune- and regenerative genes require IDGF3 for their induction, suggesting that ÎÃÃ´ similar to Chi3l1- IDGF3 is a key regulators of the epithelial response to injury and infection.

RNA-seq and Microarray in Transcriptome Profiling of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tears: Implications for Prognostic Biomarkers Discovery

Project description:Injury to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is common in young individuals and a frequent cause of functional instability and early onset of osteoarthritis. The healing potential of an injured ACL is known to decay over time. The molecular origin of this healing deficiency largely remains elusive but plausibly involves gene transcripts associated with tissue healing. To explore this possibility, we set out to identify transcript expression differences in injured ACL remnants recovered at the time of surgical reconstruction, via microarray (n=24) and RNA-seq (n=8) technologies in transcriptome profiling. We found that time-from-injury was an important determinant of changes in gene expression signatures predominately resulting in repression of several biological processes as identified by gene ontology. The most interesting observation was a time-dependent decline in the gene transcripts as well as the biological processes common to both microarray and RNA-seq analyses. Compared to acute tears, in chronic several important biological processes were namely extracellular matrix organization, angiogenesis, cell adhesion, wound healing, mesenchyme transition, and response to hypoxia. Furthermore, the cross-platform concordance in terms of differentially expressed transcripts or enriched pathways was linearly correlated (r=0.64). Microfluidic digital PCR confirmed the expression of selected differentially expressed transcripts. These intriguing findings suggest an initial attempt of the injured ACL to repair, which drops with time. These findings have implications for efforts to repair the ACL and may be relevant for its reconstruction. These findings also emphasize the utility of differentially expressed transcripts as prognostic biomarkers in patients with ACL injury.

Identification of systemic injury response genes in Drosophila melanogaster

Project description:The systemic response to injury in Drosophila melanogaster is characterized by the activation of specific signaling pathways that facilitate the regeneration of wounded tissue and help coordinate wound healing with organism growth. The mechanisms by which damaged tissues influence the development and function of peripheral non-injured tissues is not fully understood. Injury was induced in early third instar larvae via temperature-dependent cell death in wing imaginal discs. Microarray analysis using RNA isolated from injured and control was used to identify genes underlying the systemic injury response. We identified 150 genes which were differentially expressed in response to localized cell death in wing imaginal discs. Upregulated genes were associated biological processes including carnitine biosynthesis, signal transduction and regulation of oxidoreductase activity while terms associated with downregulated genes included wound healing, imaginal disc-derived wing hair outgrowth, and regulation of glutamatergic synaptic transmission. Pathway analysis revealed that wing disc damage led to changes in fatty acid, cysteine, and carnitine metabolism. One gene, 14-3-3ζ, which encodes a known regulator of Ras/MAPK signaling was identified as a potential regulator of transdetermination during tissue regeneration. Our results raise the possibility that immune function and cell proliferation during wing disc repair and regeneration in Drosophila may require the sulfur amino acid cysteine and its’ metabolites, taurine and glutathione, similar to what has been reported during tissue repair in mammals. Further, it seems likely that imaginal disc damage stimulates the mobilization of fatty acids to support the energetically demanding process of tissue regeneration. The roles of additional genes that are differentially regulated following imaginal disc injury remain to be elucidated.

Single-cell analysis of human kidney biopsy tissue reveals epithelial and immune cell responses to BK polyomavirus infection

Project description:BK polyomavirus (BKV) infection is associated with injury and subsequent graft loss due to the extent of injury or rejection. However, the molecular mechanisms driving injury and subsequent adverse outcomes remain poorly understood. In a cross-sectional study, single-cell RNA sequencing from kidney allograft biopsies was used to assess cell type-specific responses between uninfected controls and two distinct phases of BKV infection: peaking (increasing viral blood titers) and resolving (decreasing viral titers following immunosuppression reduction). Genes upregulated in BK viral nephropathy (BKVN) were enriched for polyomavirus infection hallmarks, including ribosome biogenesis, translation, and energy restructuring. Additionally enriched pathways included wound healing, cellular stress, antigen presentation and immune signaling. Even without BKVN (peaking BK viremia alone), epithelial cells expressed signatures for wound healing, cellular stress, and extracellular matrix remodeling. In vivo tubular cell responses at single-cell resolution were validated against single cell transcriptomic data of BKV infected cells in a cell culture model. Despite similarities, in vivo tubular cells underwent metabolic adaptation favoring fatty acid oxidation and proinflammatory responses not observed in culture models likely from an absent innate and adaptive immune system. Despite lymphopenia and immunosuppressive therapies, the proportion of recipient derived intrarenal adaptive immune cells was expanded in biopsies associated with peaking viremia alongside activation of innate immune responses. Adaptive immune cells continued to have persistent inflammatory signaling and remodeling of energy metabolism during the resolving phase of infection. These novel insights into BKV-associated injury could have implications for clinical management and improved allograft outcomes

sc-RNA sequencing of skeletal muscle macrophages during T. gondii infection and injury

Project description:The proper coordination of macrophages is essential for skeletal muscle repair. However, the full heterogenity of macrophages responding to injury has yet to be elucidated on the single-cell level. Furthermore, chronic inflammation may shift macrophage heterogeneity at steady-state and affect the generation of heterogeneity necessary for tissue repair. We use scRNA-sequencing to determine the heterogeneity of skeletal muscle macrophages during infection and wound repair (uninfected and infected). We identify multiple transcriptionally distinct macrophage subsets during injury in uninfected mice as well as during infection at steady-state. Interestingly, in response to injury, infected skeletal muscle macrophages fail to generate certain subsets of reparative macrophages in a timely fashion.

Injury-Induced Connexin 43 Expression Regulates Endothelial Wound Healing

Project description:Endothelial cell (EC) injury is a major contributing factor to vascular surgical failure. As such, understanding the mechanisms of endothelial healing is essential to the development of vascular therapeutics and procedures. Gap junctions formed by connexin 43 (Cx43) are implicated in regulating skin wound healing, but their role in endothelial healing is unknown. Secondary analysis of RNAseq data from in vivo injured mouse aortas (GEO: GSE115618), identified significant Cx43 upregulation in EC post-injury. We developed a novel in vivo model of EC injury using mouse carotid artery ligation to test the role of Cx43. We identified that EC immediately adjacent to the wound edge upregulate Cx43 protein expression, predominantly at cell-cell junctions. We show significantly delayed EC healing in a mouse model of inducible EC-specific Cx43 deletion (EC-Cx43 KO) at 24 hr post ligation. Single cell RNAseq analysis of 10,829 cells from 18 hr injured EC-WT and EC-Cx43 KO carotids revealed a Cx43-associated reduction in enrichment of EC pathways associated with migration, proliferation, and ERK/MAPK signaling pathways. Finally, the importance of Cx43 phosphorylation on EC healing was tested in mice with single-point alanine mutations (phospho-null) in known phosphorylation sites that alter Cx43 channel assembly and opening. Mice containing alanine mutations at ERK phosphorylated Cx43 serines (Cx43S255/262/279/282A) reduces healing rates similar to EC-Cx43 KO. These data suggest that EC injury-induced Cx43 upregulation, and subsequent Cx43 gap junction-mediated cell-to-cell communication are required for normal EC migration during wound healing after vascular injury.

Transcription profiling of Drosophila infected with Drosophila C virus reveals a third evolutionary conserved innate immunity pathway operates in drosophila and counters viral infection

Project description:The response of drosophila to bacterial and fungal infections involves two signaling pathways, Toll and Imd, which both activate NF-kB family members. We have studied the global transcriptional response of flies to infection with drosophila C virus. Viral infection induced a set of genes distinct from those regulated by the Toll or Imd pathways, and triggered activation of a STAT binding activity. Genetic experiments showed that the JAK kinase Hopscotch was involved in the control of the viral load in infected flies, and was required, though not sufficient, for the induction of some virus-regulated genes. Our results indicate that in addition to Toll and Imd, a third evolutionary conserved innate immunity pathway operates in drosophila and counters viral infection.
