Project description:Purpose: localized aberrant cell proliferation induced by activation of Yki in ISCs impairs muscle functions. To gain insight into the cross talk between intestine and muscle, we performed a transcriptomic analysis of thoracic muscles in ISC overproliferation flies. Methods: To extract total RNAs for RNA-Seq experiment, we used 10 thoraces dissected out from both esg-Gal4, tub-Gal80ts, UAS-GFP/+ (Con) and esg-Gal4, tub-Gal80ts, UAS-GFP/UAS-Yki-act (Yki) flies incubated for 8 days at 29°C. After assessing RNA quality with Agilent Bioanalyzer, mRNAs were enriched by poly-A pull-down. Then, sequencing libraries constructed with Illumina TruSeq RNA prep kit were sequenced using Illumina HiSeq2000 at the Columbia Genome Center (http://systemsbiology.columbia.edu/genome-center). We multiplexed samples in each lane, which yields targeted number of single-end 100 bp reads for each sample, as a fraction of 180 million reads for the whole lane. Sequence reads were mapped back to the Drosophila genome (flybase genome annotation version r5.51) using Tophat. With the uniquely mapped reads, we quantified gene expression levels using Cufflinks (FPKM values). Next, we performed data normalization on the read counts and applied a negative binomial statistical framework using the Bioconductor package DESeq to quantify differential expression between experimental and control data. Results: Gene list enrichment analysis of the downregulated muscle transcriptome by ISCs Yki overexpressioin revealed a striking enrichment of multiple metabolic processes impinging on carbohydrate metabolism, amino acid metabolism, metabolism of vitamins and cofactors, and metabolism of xenobiotics by cytochrome P450. Interestingly, target genes of Foxo, a transcription factor inhibited by insulin/IGF signaling, are enriched in the upregulated muscle transcriptome of ISCs Yki overepxression flies. In particular, induction of InR and Thor, well-characterized targets of Foxo, are validated with qPCR. Conclusions: Our study represents ISCs overproliferation induced by Yki overepxression remotedly regulates muscle function and gene expression probally via modulation of insulin signaling in muscle. Our results show that RNA-seq offers a comprehensive evaluation of signaling network and biological process in organ communication. Thoraces mRNA profiles of both esg-Gal4, tub-Gal80ts, UAS-GFP/+ (Con) and esg-Gal4, tub-Gal80ts, UAS-GFP/UAS-Yki-act (Yki) flies incubated for 8 days at 29°C were generated by deep sequencing, in replicate, using Illumina HiSeq2000.

Project description:Reactive oxygen species (ROS) serve as intracellular signaling molecules; however, in excess ROS molecules are damaging to biomacromolecules such as DNA, lipids, and proteins. The excess accumulation of ROS leads to oxidative stress, disrupting redox homeostasis in the cell and has been linked with aging and neurodegenerative disease. The eye is particularly vulnerable to oxidative stress due to the tissue’s high energy demand and generation of ROS by products. In proteins, the thiol group on cysteine residues is susceptible to oxidation. Cysteine residues have multiple oxidation states that can be classified into two categories—reversible and irreversible. Irreversible oxidation states include sulfinic and sulfonic acids, which may alter or impair the activity of the protein depending on the position of the cysteine residue. In contrast, reversible oxidation states include sulfenic acid or inter- and intramolecular disulfides, and can often function as redox sensors in the cell. Here, we sought to evaluate how increasing amounts of oxidative stress alters the redox proteome landscape in Drosophila. To characterize the redox proteome, we developed an iodoTMT-multiplex isolation, labeling, and enrichment method to identify cysteine availability and potential oxidation in both S2 cells and w1118 fly eyes. To do this, we exposed S2 cells to 20mM H2O2 relative to control (untreated), and w1118 flies to prolonged blue light versus an untreated control, followed by redox proteome profiling with iodoTMT-sixplex reagents.

Project description:To test whether other genes were being silenced in the Cyp6g1 knockdown strain due to off-target RNAi effects, and whether other gene expression changes were contributing to the altered susceptibility to imidacloprid in these knockdown flies. A comparison between w;Act5C-GAL4/CyO; UAS:RNAi_Cyp6g1Hp2/TM3Sb and the genetic control w;Act-GAL4/CyO;+/TM3Sb was performed. Ten 2-3 day old adult males or females were transferred to sugar-agar plates and then collected at various time points (0, 2, 5, 8 hours). The RNA samples for up to three independent experiments per timepoint for each genotype were then pooled, in equal concentrations, before hybridisation to the Affymetrix Drosophila GeneChip 1. As a preliminary analysis provided evidence for assuming that there is no interaction between genotype and duration in the sugar-agar plate, the knockdown and control chips for each of the five timepoints provided some degree of replication for the comparison between the knockdown flies and control flies. Differential expression that was consistently observed between knockdown and control over each of the five timepoints was regarded as providing evidence of a genuine difference. 2-3 day old adult flies of the appropriate genotype (Cyp6g1 knockdown or its genetic control) were transferred to bioassay plates and collected after specified timepoints in the assay plate, i.e. 0, 2, 5 or 8 hours. Each experiment contained ?3 replicates of each genotype/timepoint, and a different number of independent experiments (1-3) were pooled per microarray sample as described below. An experiment is defined as treatments set up from the same cohort of flies on a single day. Independent experiments are set up using distinct cohorts of flies, on distinct days. We included one pair of tests to compare samples from single experiments with pooled samples from independent experiments (DS003001 to DS003004, DS003002 to DS003005), and also a single pair of samples to compare males to females (DS003002 to DS003003). As it turned out - in our analysis - the timepoints selected were not discriminative, in that there were no differences detected that could be attributed to an effect of time in the bioassay.

Project description:Ayurvedic drug formulations Bacopa monnieri and Centella asiatica are known to have neuroprotective effects. These have been traditionally used in the treatment of Alzhemeir’s disease, and other neurological deficits. Using pan neuronal Aβ42 model of Drosophila melanogaster, a mass spectrometry based quantitative proteomic analysis platform was used to generate the data on proteins altered in response to the Aβ42 toxicity and restoration of altered proteins by consumption of aqueous extracts of two Ayurvedic drug formulations Bacopa monnieri and Centella asiatica aqueous extract. Quantitative proteomic analysis resulted in 0.67 million mass spectra corresponding to 2,59,168 peptide-spectrum matches (PSM) mapping to 24,305 non- redundant peptides corresponding to 11,480 Drosophila melanogaster proteins. Proteins were filtered for >3 PSMs, resulting in 9,540 proteins. Flies expressing Aβ42 significantly altered 517 proteins which were involved in maintaining essential neuronal functions. Supplementing flies with Bacopa monnieri or Centella asiatica extract commonly rescued 224 proteins from Aβ42 toxicity, moreover, extract supplemented group significantly altered proteins which were additionally supporting neuronal maintenance in flies with Aβ42 stress.

Project description:Purpose: We isolated Drosophila midgut cells : Delta+ intestinal stem cells (ISCs), Su(H)+enteroblasts (EBs), Esg+ cells (ISC+EB), Myo1A+Enterocytes (ECs), Pros+Enteroendocrine cells (EEs) and How+Visceral muscle cells (VM) from whole midguts to identify stem cell specific genes and study cell type specificities of midgut cells. We also isolated all the cell types from the 5 major regions (R1-R5) of the Drosophila midgut to study differences in cells in different regions. Methods: 3-7 day old female flies were dissected. Flies with GFP/YFP marking different cell types (using the GAL4-UAS system) were used to separate cells of the midgut.The midguts were dissociated with Elastase and FACS sorted using FACS AriaIII. RNA was extracted, amplified and sequenced. Whole midgut samples were sequenced on Illumina GAIIX and regional cell populations were sequenced on HiSeq2000. Methods:Raw fastqc reads were mapped to the Drosophila genome (Drosophila_melanogaster.BDGP5.70.dna.toplevel.fa) using Tophat 2.0.9 at default (using boost_1_54_0, bowtie2-2.1.0, samtools-0.1.19). Methods: For differential expression analysis, DESeq (p-value adjustment 0.05 by method Benjamini-Hochberg) was used. The reads were normalized also to Reads per kilobase of transcript per million mapped reads (RPKM). Results: More than 50% of the genome is expressed in the adult midgut (FlyAtlas- Chintapalli et al., 2007), of these genes about 50% (2457) were differentially expressed (DE) between all 4 cell types (ISCs, EBs, ECs and EEs) atleast 2 folds with 95% confidence Results: 159 genes that were specifically enriched in ISCs, 509 genes were specifically repressed in ISCs Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of Drosophila intestinal cell transcriptomes, with biologic replicates, generated by RNA-seq technology.Our data facilitates comparative investigations of expression profiles of cells and reveals novel stem cell genes. Further region specific profiling adds precision to the analysis of variances in the midgut regions. We identify transcriptional regulators and regional transcription factors which modulate the midgut physiology. The dataset will be a great resource for hypothesis generation, tool building and fine tuned studies on the Drosophila midgut. mRNA profiles of Drosophila intestinal cells from whole midguts and midgut regions were generated by Deep Sequencing. Whole midgut profiles were generated in triplicates (Illumina GAIIx, 72 bp read length) and regional cell type profiles were genrated in duplicates (HiSeq 2000, 50bp read length).

Project description:The synaptic protein α-synuclein is linked through genetics and neuropathology to the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease and related disorders. However, the mechanisms by which α-synuclein influences disease onset and progression are incompletely understood. To identify novel pathways and potential therapeutic targets we performed proteomic analysis in a highly penetrant new Drosophila model of α-synucleinopathy. We identified 476 significantly upregulated and 563 significantly downregulated proteins in heads from α-synucleinopathy model flies compared to controls. We then used multiple complementary analyses to identify and prioritize genes and pathways within the large set of differentially expressed proteins for functional studies. We performed Gene Ontology enrichment analysis, integrated our proteomic changes with human Parkinson’s disease genetic studies, and compared the α-synucleinopathy proteome with that of tauopathy model flies, which are relevant to Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders. These approaches identified GTP cyclohydrolase (GCH1) and folate metabolism as candidate mediators of α-synuclein neurotoxicity. In functional validation studies we found that knockdown of Drosophila Gch1 enhanced locomotor deficits in α-synuclein transgenic flies, while folate supplementation protected from α-synuclein toxicity. Our integrative analysis suggested that mitochondrial dysfunction was a common downstream mediator of neurodegeneration. Accordingly, Gch1 knockdown enhanced metabolic dysfunction in α-synuclein transgenic fly brains while folate supplementation partially normalized whole brain bioenergetics. Here we outline and implement an integrative approach to identify and validate potential therapeutic pathways using comparative proteomics and genetics and capitalizing on the facile genetic and pharmacological tools available in Drosophila.

Project description:Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is generally a late onset neurodegenerative disease. Mutations in the Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) gene accounts for approximately 20% of familial ALS and 2% of all ALS cases. Although a number of hypothesis have been proposed to explain mutant SOD1 toxicity, the molecular mechanisms of the disease remain unclear. SOD1 linked ALS is thought to function in a non-cell autonomous manner such that the motoneurons are critical for the onset and glia contribute to the progress of the disease. To dissect the roles of motoneurons and glia, we used the Gal4-UAS system to determine gene expression changes following the expression of mutant human SOD1 (G85R) selectively in either motoneurons or glia, and concurrently in motoneurons and glia of flies. We conducted a microarray on young (5 days old) and old (45 days old) flies expressing G85R in these cell types and identified a number of genes involved in a variety of processes. The candidate genes identified by this screen may help elucidate the individual and combined contributions of motoneurons and glial cells in ALS. We used microarrays to evaluate the transcriptional profile of 5 day old and 45 day old flies expressing mutant human SOD1 (G85R) in a tissue specific manner in motoneurons, glia, and together in motoneurons and glia and compared the expression to flies expressing wild-type drosophila SOD1 controls. The Gal4-UAS system was used to drive tissue expression of either mutant human SOD1 (G85R) or wild-type drosophila SOD1 (dSOD1) in flies. Flies containing either the motoneuronal driver, D42-Gal4, the glial driver, M1B-Gal4, or the combined motoneuronal and glial drivers, D42+M1B-Gal4 were crossed to flies containing either mutant human SOD1, UAS-G85R, or wild-type drosophila SOD1, UAS-dSOD1, as a control. Adult male progeny were collected within 24 hours after eclosion and aged to 5 (5d) and 45 (45d) days old. Groups of 10 flies were maintained in vials of cornmeal agar food and transferred to fresh food every 5-7 days. For each Gal4-UAS line and each age, 3 biological replicates consisting of 40 whole flies were flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and used to isolate total RNA, for a total of 36 samples.

Project description:Manganese is considered essential for animal growth. Manganese ions serve as cofactors to three mitochondrial enzymes: superoxide dismutase (Sod2), arginase and glutamine synthase. In Drosophila melanogaster, manganese has also been implicated in the formation of ceramide phosphoethanolamine, the insect’s sphingomyelin analogue, a structural component of membranes. Manganese overload leads to neurodegeneration and toxicity in both humans and Drosophila. Here, we describe a Drosophila model of manganese deficiency. Due to the lack of manganese-specific chelators, we used chemically defined media to grow the flies and deplete them of the metal. Dietary manganese depletion reduces Sod2 activity. We then examined gene and protein expression changes in the intestines of manganese depleted flies. We found adaptive responses to the lack of the known manganese-dependent enzymatic activities and alterations in genes/enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism and glycosylations, similar to earlier reports of manganese deficiency in vertebrate animals.
