Project description:In other experiments, we found that hygienic honey bees show lateralized responses to odors associated with brood disease. Bees are also known to have more olfactory sensilla on their right antenna compared to their left. Following this, we performed proteomics on right and left antennae of hygienic honey bees in order to identify a molecular basis for lateralization (N = 5); however, we did not identify any significantly different proteins.

Project description:The microsporidia Nosema ceranae are intracellular parasites that proliferate in the midgut epithelial cells of honey bees (Apis mellifera). To analyze the pathological effects of those microsporidia, we orally infected honey bee workers 7 days after their emergence. Bees were flash frozen 15 days after the infection. Then, the effects on the gut ventriculi were analyzed and compared to non-infected (control) bees.

Project description:Background: Honey bee is a major insect used for pollination of a number of commercial crops worldwide. However, the number of managed honey bee colonies has recently declined in several countries, and a number of possible causes are proposed. Although the use of honey bees for pollination can be considered as disruption of the habitat, its effects on honey bees' physiology have never been addressed. In Japan, more than 100 thousands colonies are annually used for pollination, and intriguingly 80% of them are used in greenhouses. Recently, honey bee colonies have often collapsed when they are introduced into greenhouses. Thus, to suppress colony collapses and maintain the number of worker bees in the colonies are essential for successful long-term pollination in greenhouses and recycling honey bee colonies.

Project description:There were important gaps in our knowledge of Israeli acute paralysis virus (IAPV), when IAPV was tightly linked to bee Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), the mysterious disease that, starting in 2006-2007, has been wiping out honey bees in the US. To fill in these gaps we studied the molecular basis of transmission, pathogenesis, and genetic diversity of IAPV infection in honey bees. We investigated the impact of IAPV infection on colony losses and host transcriptional response to IAPV infections, and exploited the potential of RNAi-based strategies for treating viral diseases in honey bees. Our study clearly shows that IAPV has become established as a persistent infection and is highly prevalent in the honey bee population. The existence of both horizontal and vertical transmission pathways of the virus likely accounts for the high prevalence of IAPV in bees. While IAPV is probably not the only culprit responsible for CCD, its ability to cause increased mortality in honey bees is firmly demonstrated. The phenotypic differences in pathology among different strains of IAPV may be due to their high level of standing genetic variation. The JAK-STAT pathway, along with other signaling events such as mTOR and MAPK pathways, likely involves honey bees’ antiviral immune responses to the IAPV infection. The identification of IAPV-encoded putative suppressor of RNAi and evidence that silencing the RNAi suppressor led to a significant reduction in IAPV replication in infected bees illustrates the therapeutic potential of targeting viral suppressor protein to reduce virus replication. Our study gives direction for developing strategies to reduce colony losses due to viral diseases.

Honey bee hives were installed into strawberry and eggplant greenhouses, and then the gene expression profiles of the honey bees were examined at the different time periods. Total 16 samples with two replicates were analyzed.

Project description:Purpose: Parts of Europe and the United States have witnessed dramatic losses in commercially managed honey bees over the past decade to what is considered an unsustainable extent. The large-scale loss of honey bees has considerable implications for the agricultural economy because honey bees are one of the leading pollinators of numerous crops. Honey bee declines have been associated with several interactive factors. Poor nutrition and viral infection are two environmental stressors that pose heightened dangers to honey bee health. Methods: We used RNA-sequencing to examine how monofloral diets (Rockrose and Chestnut) and Israeli acute paralysis virus inoculation influence gene expression patterns in honey bees. Results: We found a considerable nutritional response, with almost 2,000 transcripts changing with diet quality. The majority of these genes were over-represented for nutrient signaling (insulin resistance) and immune response (Notch signaling and JaK-STAT pathways). Somewhat unexpectedly, the transcriptomic response to viral infection was fairly limited. We only found 43 transcripts to be differentially expressed, some with known immune functions (argonaute-2), transcriptional regulation, and muscle contraction. We created contrasts to determine if any protective mechanisms of good diet were due to direct effects on immune function (resistance) or indirect effects on energy availability (tolerance). A similar number of resistance and tolerance candidate differentially expressed genes were found, suggesting both processes may play significant roles in dietary buffering from pathogen infection. We also compared the virus main effect in our study (polyandrous colonies) to that obtained in a previous study (single-drone colonies) and verified significant overlap in differential expression despite visualization methods showing differences in the noisiness levels between these two datasets. Conclusions: Through transcriptional contrasts and functional enrichment analysis, we add to evidence of feedbacks between diet and disease in honey bees. We also show that comparing results derived from polyandrous colonies (which are typically more natural) and single-drone colonies (which usually yield more signal) may allow researchers to identify transcriptomic patterns in honey bees that are concurrently less artificial and less noisy. Altogether, we hope this work underlines possible merits of using data visualization techniques and multiple datasets when interpreting RNA-sequencing studies.

Project description:The effects of neonicotinoid insecticides (NNIs) on honey bee health is intensely debated, with numerous studies showing negative effects of exposure, while others report no such effects. Understanding the cause of these differences is critical for developing evidence-based policy on the use of NNIs. We carried out experiments to study the genetic and molecular basis of NNI tolerance in honey bees, which may underlie the discrepancies observed in the literature. We discovered that worker survival post-exposure to an acute oral dose of clothianidin is heritable (H2=37.8%).

Project description:In this study we addressed whether the transcriptome profile in the honey bee brain is similar for two major parasites of honey bee, Varroa destructor and Nosema ceranae. Honey bees parasitized by these two parasites show accelerated behavioral maturation and deficiences in orientation and learning/memory that we hoped to characterized at the transcriptomic level.
