Project description:A theoretical framework for the function of the medial temporal lobe system in memory defines differential contributions of the hippocampal subregions with regard to pattern recognition retrieval processes and encoding of new information. To investigate molecular programs of relevance, we designed a spatial learning protocol to engage a pattern separation function to encode new information. After background training, two groups of animals experienced the same new training in a novel environment, however only one group was provided spatial information and demonstrated spatial memory in a retention test. Global transcriptional analysis of the microdissected subregions of the hippocampus exposed a CA3 pattern that was sufficient to clearly segregate spatial learning animals from control. Individual gene and functional group analysis anchored these results to previous work in neural plasticity. From a multitude of expression changes, increases in camk2a, rasgrp1 and nlgn1 were confirmed by in situ hybridization. Furthermore, siRNA inhibition of nlgn1 within the CA3 subregion impaired spatial memory performance, pointing to mechanisms of synaptic remodeling as a basis for rapid encoding of new information in long-term memory. Experiment Overall Design: RNA samples from animals subjected to a spatial learning paradigm were compared to controls using Affymetirx RAE230a chips. An N of 7 was used in each of the two experimental conditions.

Project description:Increasing evidence suggests microRNAs (miRNAs) control levels of mRNA expression during development of the nervous system and during sensory elicited remodelling of the brain. We used an associative olfactory learning paradigm (proboscis extension response) in the honeybee Apis mellifera to detect gene expression changes in the brain. Transcriptome analysis of bees trained to associate an odor with a reward and control bees exposed to air without reward, helped us abstract mRNA-miRNA interactions for empirical testing. Functional studies, feeding cholesterol-conjugated antisense RNA to bees resulted in the inhibition of miR-210 and of miR-932 that is embedded within the neuroligin 2 (Nlg2) gene involved in synapse development. Loss of miR-932 prevents long-term memory formation but not learning. We validated 3M-bM-^@M-^YUTR target site interactions of miR-932 and show miR-932 dysregulates actin, a key cytoskeletal molecule involved in neuronal development and activity-dependent plasticity of the brain. The analysis used Air group (no odor learning) as control sample for comparison to two groups of odor-conditioned bees: linalool and floral mix.

Project description:Behavioral transitions Young infant rats paradoxically prefer odors paired with shock but older pups learn aversions. This transition is amygdala- and corticosterone-dependent. Microarray results showed downregulated dopaminergic presynaptic function in the amygdala with preference learning. Corticosterone injected 8-day-old pups and untreated 12-day-old pups learn aversions and had dopaminergic upregulation in the amygdala. 8 day saline or corticosterone treated- or 12 day old untreated rat pups were trained with odor-shock pairings. Immediately after training pups were sacrificed and the amygdala dissected out. Controls were unpaired shock-odor groups.Paired and unpaired groups were processed together for each experimental condition. Paired and unpaired data were compared by ranked products.

Project description:Analysis used total RNA samples of individual brains of low hygienic strain worker bees that were derived from experimental colonies combined of low hygienic genotypes (L pure colonies) resp. low and high hygienic genotypes (L/H mixed colonies). Four-condition experiment: individuals that did perform hygienic behavior (uncapping) vs individuals that did not perform hygienic behavior (non-hygienic); individuals from L pure colonies vs individuals from L/H mixed colonies. A total of 76 biological replicates was analyzed, subdivided into 24 individuals that did perform hygienic behavior in mixed colonies; 24 individuals that did perform hygienic behavior in pure colonies; 14 individuals that did not perform hygienic behavior in mixed colonies; 14 individuals that did not perform hygienic behavior in pure colonies. Each individual brain RNA sample was divided into two subsamples labeled with cy3 resp. cy5. Loop Design was applied so that each individual brain sample was directly compared to at least two other samples.

Project description:Here we show that regions of the honeybee brain involved in visual processing and learning and memory show a genomic response to distance information. Using a method that separates effects of perceived distance from effects of actual distance flown, we found that individuals forced to shift from a short to a perceived long distance to reach a feeding site showed differences in gene expression in the optic lobes and mushroom bodies relative to individuals that continued to perceive flying a short distance.

Project description:As a matter of fact, honeybees are vital for the pollination of more than 80 crops of agricultural interest. However, population decline has become an important global issue causing significant concerns among agricultural experts and the broader public. For this, parasites are known to be the major culprits responsible for the losses of millions of honeybee colonies so far. Among these parasites, Varroa destructor has been identified as a major cause for global losses in Western honeybee (Apis mellifera) colonies. Hygienic behavior (HB), on the other hand, is a collective response by adult honeybees to defend against parasites and diseases that is known to involve in resistance towards Varroosis. Even with the efforts made to elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying HB, it is still not understood. In our study, we have studied the proteomic correlates to HB using a honeybee line (selected for Varroa-specific HB for over a decade in Germany). We sampled individual worker bees from this line that showed HB after closer infrared video observations and compared the proteomes of their mushroom bodies and antennae with those of workers that came from the same set of colonies but didn't show the behaviour. Furthermore, we compared the pupal hemolymph for worker bees of the selected HB line and a control line using state-of-the art techniques of proteomics. We identified a total of 8609 proteins (covered >55% of the honeybee proteome) from these three honeybee tissues. This is the most comprehensive proteomic study of the honeybee HB to date, and the first to focus on individual bees expressing Varroa-specific HB. These results have significantly advanced our knowledge on the biology underlining HB to a new level. The uniquely found functional classes and pathways by the proteins identified in each tissue suggest that hygienic bees have shaped distinct proteome settings to underpin the HB. Moreover, during analysis of pupal hemolymph proteome, the HB-line has adapted a unique strategy to boost an individual and social immunity and drove pupal organogenesis via energy metabolism and protein biosynthesis. Moreover, in the mushroom bodies of different HB phenotypic worker bees, the hygienic bees have enhanced their neuronal sensitivity to promote the execution of HB by activation of synaptic vesicles and calcium channel activities. Moreover, in the antennae of two HB phenotypic worker bees, the hygienic bees have demonstrated strengthening of their sensitivity associated with olfactory senses and signal transmissions, which is important to input a strong signal to the mushroom bodies and initiate HB. In conclusion, our novel findings have significantly extended our understandings of the molecular mechanisms that underline the HB to combat Varroa infestation. Furthermore, we identified a wide array of novel markers that are useful for accelerating marker associated selection of HB to aid in the natural resistance to a parasite blamed for a global decline in honeybee health.

Project description:We characterized and compared hemolymph proteome of Royal Jelly bees (RJbs), a stock selected for increasing RJ output from Italian bees (ITbs) and ITbs across the larval and adult ages. Unprecedented depth of proteome was attained by identifying 3394 hemolymph proteins in both bee lines. The proteome supports the general function of hemolymph to drive development and immunity across different phases in both bees. However, age-specific proteome settings have adapted to prime the distinct physiology for larvae and adult bees. In larvae, proteome are thought to drive the temporal immunity, rapid organogenesis, and reorganization of larval structures. In adults, proteome play key roles to prompt tissues development and immune defense in NEBs, glands maturity in NBs and carbohydrate energy production in FBs. Comparing the proteome between the same aged larval and adult samples, RJbs and ITbs have tailored distinct hemolymph proteome programs to drive their physiology. Particularly, in day 4 larvae and NBs, a large number of highly abundant proteins enriched in protein synthesis and energy metabolism in RJbs relative to ITbs imply that RJb larvae and NBs have reprogrammed their proteome to initiate different developmental trajectory and high RJ secretion in response to the enhanced RJ production by selection. Our hitherto depth of proteome coverage gains novel sight on molecular details in driving hemolymph function and high RJ production by RJbs.
