Project description:We aimed at characterizing the diverse hemocyte populations present in the hemolymph of the Drosophila larvae. The hemocytes were collected from wandering larvae infested by wasp (WI) or not infested (NI). The hemocytes were then sequenced using 10x genomics technology.

Project description:Background: Heliconius butterflies are an excellent model system for studies of adaptive convergent and divergent phenotypic traits. Wing colour patterns are used as signals to both predators and potential mates and are inherited in a Mendelian manner. The underlying genetic mechanisms of pattern formation have been studied for many years and shed light on broad issues, such as the repeatability of evolution. In Heliconius melpomene, the yellow hindwing bar is controlled by the HmYb locus and several genes in this region show expression pattern differences across races. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression that have key roles in many biological processes, including development. It seems likely that miRNAs could act as downstream regulators of genes involved in wing development, patterning and pigmentation. For this reason we characterised miRNAs in developing butterfly wings and examined differences in their expression between colour pattern races. Results: We sequenced small RNA libraries from two colour pattern races and detected 142 Heliconius miRNAs with homology to others found in miRBase. Several highly abundant miRNAs appeared to be differentially expressed between colour pattern races and this was tested further in different developing pupal wing stages using Northern blots. These revealed that differences in expression were due to developmental stage rather than colour pattern. Assembly of sequenced reads to the HmYb region identified miR-193 and miR-2788; located 2380bp apart in an intergenic region. A search for miRNAs in all available H. melpomene BAC sequences (~2.5Mb) did not reveal any other miRNA genes and no novel miRNAs were predicted. There were several regions where other small RNA sequences assembled to the HmYb region and appeared to be differentially expressed.These might represent other regulatory RNAs. Conclusions: Here we describe the first butterfly miRNAs and characterise their expression in developing wings. Some show differences in expression across developing pupal stages. Two miRNAs were located in the HmYb region. Future work will examine the expression of these miRNAs in different colour pattern races and identify miRNA targets among wing patterning genes. High-throughput sequencing of Heliconius melpomene endogenous small RNAs. Size fractionated small RNA from total RNA extracts of two different Heliconius melpomene races (Heliconius melpomene melpomene and Heliconius melpomene rosina) were isolated from wing tissue using miRVana kit. 100µg RNA from 11 individuals of different developmental stages was pooled for each race as follows: 4.1% larval stage <1; 2% larval stage 1-1.75; 2.9% larval stage 2-2.5; 22% larval stage 2.75-3; 19% larval stage > 3; 25% early pupae; 25% mid-melanin pupae. Sequences were ligated to adapters, purified again and reverse transcribed. After PCR amplification the sample was subjected to Solexa/Illumina high throughput pyrosequencing.

Project description:This project aimed to explore novel anticancer therapeutics from products of parasite since several data related to benefits from the T. spiralis infection have been documented. We validated antitumor activity of T. spiralis infective larval extract and extricate the parasite-derived-antitumor peptide. We found that larval extract exerted antitumor activity to three types of carcinoma cells including hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2, ovarian cancer SK-OV-3, and lung adenocarcinoma A549. Interestingly, it displayed the most antitumor effect to HepG2 cells. Using proteomic and bioinformatic approaches, three putative anticancer peptides were identified from T. spiralis infective larval extract. One of these peptides showed a dose-dependent-anti-HepG2 effect by inducing ROS accumulation, leading to inhibition of the cell proliferation. Our data indicate potential application of the larval extract-derived antitumor peptide as a complementary agent for human hepatoma treatment and highlight a positive aspect of parasite apart from its deleterious effect.

Project description:The tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta, is a lepidopteran model species widely used to study insect biochemical processes. While some of its larval hemolymph proteins are well understood, a detailed proteomic analysis was unavailable until 2016, revealing features such as correlation with transcriptome data, formation of immune complexes, and constitution of an immune signaling system. Yet, it is unclear how these may change in other developmental stages. In this paper, we report the proteomes of cell-free hemolymph from prepupae, pupae on days 4 and 13, and young adults. Of the 1,824 proteins identified, 907 have a signal peptide and 215 are related to immunity. Drastic changes in abundance of the storage proteins, for instance, reflect physiological disparities among prepupae, pupae, and adults. Considerably more proteins lacking signal peptide are present in the late pupae, suggesting that plasma acts as a temporary reservoir for intracellular components released from remodeling tissues during metamorphosis. In summary, the proteins and their levels revealed in this study are expected to stimulate focused explorations of humoral immunity in wandering larvae, pupae, and adults of M. sexta and shed light upon functional and comparative genomic research in other holometabolous insects.

Project description:In Drosophila,male courtship behaviour serves as an excellent paradigm to study how innate behaviors are controlled by the nervous system. These behaviors are in large part regulated by the gene fruitless (fru). fru encodes a set of putative transcription factors that promote male sexual behaior by controlling the development of sexually-dimorphic neuronal circuitry. Little is known about how Fru proteins function at the level of transcriptional regulation. To characterize the roles of fru sex-specific isoforms in specifying male behavior, we generated novel isoform-specific mutants, and used a genomic approach to identify direct Fru isoform targets during development. We demonstrate that all Fru isoforms directly target genes involved in the development of the nervous system, with individual isoforms exhibiting unique binding specificities. We observe that fru behavioral phenotypes are specificed by either a single, or combination, of isoforms. Finally, we illustrate the utility of these data for the identification of novel sexually dimorphic genoic enhancers, and novel downstream regulators of male-sexual behavior. 3 replicates per condition, one dye swap; per condition: one control, one experimental per replicate. No processed data for GSM1261882 and GSM1261883 are available.
