Project description:Species expand their geographic distribution when environmental conditions are favorable or when mutations arise that allow them to live in previously unfavorable conditions. The European wasp spider, Argiope bruennichi, has expanded its range poleward, and populations at the northern edge show higher tolerance to cold and are genetically differentiated from the core populations. We aimed to investigate the degree and limits of plasticity in a recently cold-adapted Estonian population by exposing overwintering juveniles (spiderlings) to three fixed winter regimes over the course of three months. These regimes differed in absolute and relative day and night temperature: cold (5°C day, −15°C night), moderate (5°C day, −5°C night), and warm (15°C day, −5°C night). We expected a differential response to the winter regimes in survival, lipid content, metabolites, and gene expression patterns. The survival probability of the spiderlings decreased over winter by approximately 20% and their lipid content by 28%, with no significant differences between groups. Spiderlings also did not differ in content of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids per dry weight. However, in spiderlings exposed to the warm winter regime, short-chain omega-3 PUFAs were less abundant (~57%) and long-chain omega-3 PUFAs more abundant (~66%) compared to the other regimes. The gene expression response was low under the cold regime and much higher under the warm regime, as compared to the moderate regime. The affected pathways suggest a more pronounced stress response under warmer winter temperatures. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that A. bruennichi spiderlings from a northern population can endure very different winter regimes. However, the observed physiological responses to the warmer regime suggest metabolic costs that may reduce spiderling survival probability after emergence from the egg sac. We conclude that, despite remarkable tolerance to different winter regimes, warmer winters have nuanced effects on spiderling physiology beyond survival probability.

Project description:To investigate a role of nuclear WASp in T cell development we performed WASp chromatin immunoprecipitation and deep sequencing (ChIP-Seq) in thymocytes and spleen CD4+ T cells. To pre-process raw ChIP-Seq data, the total number of reads were normalized and aligned against the mouse genome. WASp was enriched at transcription start sites of a large number of protein-coding genes. Many of the WASp-enriched genes were associated with RNA Polymerase II-enriched genes and active epigenetic marks of transcription; H3K4m3, H3K9a, H3K27a, and with the epigenetic mark for active enhancers H3K4m1. To study the distribution of overactive WASpI296T in the thymocyte genome and to identify regions enriched in WASpI296T binding, we performed second round of ChIP-Seq analysis using the WASp F-8 antibody. To detect differences in gene enrichment between thymocytes expressing wildtype WASp or WASpI296T, we applied stringent conditions and subtracted common genes between the two samples. Using this approach, we identify 70 WASpI296T-enriched genes. Functional clustering of these genes revealed that WASpI296T was associated with RNA Polymerase II genes in 11 functional groups of genes.thymocytes and spleen CD4+ T cells. WASp was enriched at transcription start sites of a large number of protein-coding genes.
