Project description:In animals, the brain regulates feeding behavior in response to local energy demands of peripheral tissues, which secrete orexigenic and anorexigenic hormones. Although skeletal muscle is a key peripheral tissue, it remains unknown whether muscle-secreted hormones regulate feeding. In Drosophila , we find that decapentaplegic (dpp), the homolog of human bone morphogenetic proteins BMP2 and BMP4, is a muscle-secreted factor (a myokine) that is induced by nutrient sensing and that circulates and signals to the brain. Muscle-restricted dpp RNAi promotes foraging and feeding initiation whereas dpp overexpression reduces it. This regulation of feeding by muscle-derived Dpp stems from modulation of brain tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) expression and dopamine biosynthesis. Consistently, Dpp receptor signaling in dopaminergic neurons regulates TH expression and feeding initiation via the downstream transcriptional repressor Schnurri. Moreover, pharmacologic modulation of TH activity rescues the changes in feeding initiation due to modulation of dpp expression in muscle. These findings indicate that muscle-to-brain endocrine signaling mediated by the myokine Dpp regulates feeding behavior.

Project description:Dopamine, an essential human neurotransmitter, also plays important roles in plant-microbe interactions and abiotic stress tolerance in plants. Although dopamine biosynthesis is well-characterized in humans, it remains largely unclear in plants. Through metabolite-based genome-wide association studies, we identified a dopamine biosynthetic gene cluster in Brachypodium distachyon comprising two tyrosine decarboxylase genes and three putative polyphenol oxidase genes. Biochemical and knockout mutant analyses revealed that dopamine biosynthesis proceeds primarily via tyramine as an intermediate, and dopamine oxidation leads to tissue browning in B. distachyon. Homolog searches and enzymatic assays suggest that the dopamine biosynthetic pathway is likely conserved across numerous plant species. This discovery provides valuable insights into plant dopamine biosynthesis with potential applications in reducing food browning, improving plant stress resilience, and bioengineering valuable compounds.

Project description:The dorsal patterning in Drosophila is controlled by an extracellular gradient of the morphogens Decapentlaplegic/Screw (Dpp/Scrw), which are members of BMP/TGF-β family. Dpp/Scrw signal is transduced to the nucleus by the transcription factors, Mad/Medea. The transcriptional effectors exert their regulation in a graded-manner eliciting at least three threshold responses: high, intermediate and low. However, the mechanism underlying differential response to Dpp is poorly understood, due in part to the insufficient number of well-studied target genes. Gene expression changes were analysed in ectopic overexpressing Dpp mutant embryos to identify new target genes of Dpp/Mad pathway.

Project description:Dopamine acts on neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARC) which control homeostatic feeding responses. Here we demonstrate a differential enrichment of Drd1 expression in food intake-promoting AgRP/NPY neurons and a large proportion of Drd2-expressing anorexigenic POMC neurons. This translates into a predominant activation of AgRP/NPY neurons upon dopamine stimulation and a larger proportion of dopamine-inhibited POMC neurons. Employing intersectional targeting of Drd2-expressing POMC neurons, we reveal, that dopamine-mediated POMC neuron inhibition is Drd2-dependent and that POMCDrd2+ neurons exhibit differential expression of neuropeptide signaling mediators, which manifests in enhanced somatostatin responsiveness of these neurons compared to the global POMC neuron population. Retrograde pseudorabies mapping reveals predominant synaptic input onto these cells from within the ARC as well as characterized dopaminergic cell groups within the hypothalamus and subthalamic areas. Finally, selective chemogenetic activation of POMCDrd2+ neurons uncovers their ability to acutely suppress feeding and to preserve body temperature. Collectively, the present study provides the molecular and functional characterization of POMCDrd2+ neurons and aids to our understanding of dopamine-dependent control of homeostatic energy regulatory neurocircuits.

Project description:In the spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum, Hedgehog (Hh) and Decapentaplegic (Dpp) signaling play key roles in the formation of the two major embryonic axes (Akiyama-Oda and Oda, 2010, Development 137, 1263-1273; Akiyama-Oda and Oda, 2006, Development 133, 2347-2357). Patched (Ptc), a receptor for Hh,functions as a negative regulator of Hh signaling. Double parental RNA interference (pRNAi) against spider homologs of ptc and dpp, Pt-ptc and Pt-dpp, respectively, results in severe defects in axis formation. In this microarray experiment, we attempted to identify candidate genes whose expressions are regulated by Hh and Dpp signaling during axis formation.
