Shotgun Proteomic Analysis of Proteins Present in Mosquito Ovaries at 24 and 72 h After a Blood Meal

ABSTRACT: Female mosquitoes require a blood meal for oogenesis, and thereby receive a substantial iron load in the forms of holo-transferrin and hemoglobin. Our previous data showed that during digestion of a blood meal, the gut iron concentration decreases 10-fold, while that of the ovaries doubles from ingestion to 72 hours post feeding. Approximately 72 hours post feeding, eggs are laid with ~125 ng Fe each. We are interested in the effects of the blood meal on the expression of iron related proteins detected in the ovaries during time post feeding before eggs are laid. We have used shotgun proteomic analysis to identify proteins in the developing ovaries of Aedes aegypti; this information provides further insight into the effect of a blood meal on mosquito oogenesis.

Aedes aegypti [Linnaeus in Hasselquist; yellow fever mosquito] transmits several viruses that infect millions of people each year, including Zika, dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya, and West Nile. Pathogen transmission occurs during blood feeding. Only the females blood feed as they require a bloodmeal for oogenesis; in the bloodmeal, holo-transferrin and hemoglobin provide the females with a high iron load. We are interested in the effects of the bloodmeal on the expression of iron-associated p ...[more]

Project description:Corpus luteum (CL) is a transient endocrine tissue formed from the remnants of the ovarian follicle after ovulation. In response to gonadotropin surge, the ovulating follicle undergoes dramatic changes in expression of genes and differentiation of follicular cells into luteal cells. In several species, of the several genes that are down- regulated post ovulation, Cyp19A1 that codes for aromatase, essential for biosynthesis of estradiol- 17M-NM-2 (E2), also get down- regulated but appears to get up- regulated at later time points in the estrous cycle to have critical role in E2 secretion. In primates and rodents, higher expression and higher E2 levels has been observed in CL. Surprisingly, in the recently carried out gene expression profiling of PGF2M-NM-1- induced luteolysis studies in the bovine species [GSE27961], it was observed that expression of one of the earliest genes that was down- regulated was Cyp19A1 in the CL. However, the specific role of E2 in the regulation of CL function remains poorly defined. Thus, in the present study, efforts were made to examine the temporal changes in the global gene expression profile in the CL of pregnant rats after treatment with aromatase inhibitor (AI), Anastrozole, and E2 supplementation. The results obtained will further expand our knowledge on E2 target/responsive genes and the basic mechanism(s) that regulates the CL function. Key words: CL, E2, AI, Gene expression The objective of this study was to identify the effect of E2 deprivation and supplementation on CL function and temporal changes in the transcriptome of pregnant rat CL during day 12 to 16 of pregnancy following E2 deprivation by Anastrozole (AI, Aromatase inhibitor) treatment in pregnant rats, AI (1mg/ kg bw orally) treatment beginning on day 12 daily for 4 days. In the E2 supplementation experiments, together with AI, the rats were treated with E2 (10M-BM-5g/ day s.c.). CL tissues were collected on day 12 (no treatment; n=3 animals/ time point), day 16 (vehicle treatment; n=3 animals/ time point), day 16 (AI treatment; n=3 animals/ time point) and day 16 (AI+ E2 treatment; n=3 animals/ time point) to examine gene expression changes associated with E2 deprivation and recovery in the system. Following retrieval of CL from the ovary, corpora lutea were flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -70oC for the purpose of RNA isolation. The isolated RNA was labelled and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChipM-BM-. Rat Gene 1.0 ST arrays as per the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions.

Project description:The timing of flower opening is essential for pollination and thus seed production. Despite flower opening has been a long lasting topic for plant biologists, the underling molecular mechansim remains elusive. Here we used a unique cucumber line â6457â that spontaneously produces super ovary with delayed corolla opening as material, and explored the physiological, cytological, nutritional and transcriptomic reasons for the delayed corolla opening in super ovary. Our data showed that cell division and cell expansion persisited for a longer period of time in the super ovary, especially during the green yellow bud stage and yellow bud stage. Similarly, RNA-seq analyses showed that RNA and protein synthesis related genes were upregulated during these two stages, which may account for the decreased nitrogen and phosphrate content in the super ovary. Further, activation of transcription factors were delayed in the green yellow bud stage, while signalling kinases related genes were upregulated in the yellow bud stage in the super ovary. Photosynthesis related genes were also significantly activated in the super ovary, which corresponds to the increased soluble suble content. Phytohoromones such as cytokinins and gibberllins were elevated in the super ovary. Consistently, cytokinins and gibberllins related genes showed significantly enhanced expression. Therefore, both developmental and nutritional factors regulate the timing of female flower opening in cucumber, and provide a valuable foundation for dissecting the underling regulatory pathways of flower opening in planta. The normal ovary blooms at 4-5 days after labeling (when the ovary is visible) (DAL), with the majority blooms at 5 DAL, while the anthesis of super ovary occurs at 8-9 DALs, with most super ovaries blooms at 9 DAL.In the normal ovary, corolla at 1 DAL (N1), 3 DAL (N3), 4 DAL (N4), and 5 DAL (N5) is the typical stage for green bud, green yellow bud, yellow bud, and flowering, respectively, whereas in the super ovary, corolla at 1 DAL (S1) is the green bud, corolla at 3, 4 and 5 DAL (S3, S4, S5) is the green yellow bud, corolla at 7 and 8 DAL (S7, S8) is the yellow bud, and corolla at 9 DAL (S9) is the typical flowering stage.Transcriptome profiling of 11 stages include N1,N3,N4,N5,S1,S3,S4,S5,S7,S8 and S9 were performed, and each stage had 3 biological replicates.
