Description
We characterized monosaccharide-dependent gene expression in the Drosophila fat body using fructose and glucose. Control and high-sugar diets were compared and RNA-seq was used to identify potential target genes. Overall design: Drosophila were reared on control (0.3 M fructose or glucose) or high sugar (1.7 M fructose or glucose) diets until the wandering third instar stage. Fat bodies were isolated and RNA was extracted to determine the effects of each sugar at different concentrations on gene expression using Illumina RNA-seq.

Description
We compared gene expression in the Drosophila fat body on control and high-sugar diets in order to gain insight into the role of this organ during caloric overload. Differential expression analysis revealed changes in gene expression suggestive of a role for CoA metabolism in the ability to tolerate high-sugar feeding. This led us to perform biochemical and mutant studies supporting a model where CoA is limiting in the face of caloric overload. Overall design: Wild-type Drosophila were reared on control (0.15M sucrose) and high-sugar (0.7M sucrose) diets until the wandering stage. Fat bodies were isolated and RNA extracted to determine the effects of diet on gene expression using Illumina RNA-seq.

Description
The lack of mouse models permitting the specific ablation of tissue-resident macrophages and monocyte-derived cells complicates understanding of their contribution to tissue integrity and to immune responses. Here we use a new model permitting diphtheria-toxin (DT)-mediated depletion of those cells and in which dendritic cells are spared. We showed that the myeloid cells of the mouse ear skin dermis are dominated by a population of melanin-laden macrophages, called melanophages, that has been missed in most previous studies. By using gene expression profiling, DT-mediated ablation and parabiosis, we determined their identity including their similarity to other skin macrophages, their origin and their dynamics. Limited information exist on the identity of the skin cells responsible for long-term tattoo persistence. Benefiting of our knowledge on melanophages, we showed that they are responsible for retaining tattoo pigment particles through a dynamic process which characterization has direct implications for improving strategies aiming at removing tattoos.

Description
Murine Cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection leads to early activation of various immune cells, including B and T lymphocytes, before the actual initiation of antigen-specific adaptive immunity. This activation is partly driven by innate cytokines, including type I interferon (IFN), which are induced early after infection. The objective of this study was to address the role of type I IFN in shaping early/innate B and T cell responses to a primary acute viral infection.

Description
We compared four transcription factor knockdowns using transgenic RNAi expressed in the larval fat body. FOXO, Tfb1, p53, and Stat92E-dependent gene expression in the Drosophila fat body was quantified on control and high-sugar diets in order to generate expression profiles via RNA-seq. These expression data were used to build a gene regulatory network to predict novel roles for these and other genes during caloric overload. Overall design: Control and fat body-expressed transcription factor RNAi Drosophila were reared on control (0.15M sucrose) and high-sugar (0.7M or 1M sucrose) diets until the wandering stage. Fat bodies were isolated and RNA extracted to determine the effects of diet on gene expression using Illumina RNA-seq.

Description
Chronic high sugar feeding induces obesity, hyperglycemia, and insulin resistance in flies and mammals. These phenotypes are controlled by the fat body, a liver- and adipose- like tissue in Drosophila flies. To gain insight into the mechanisms underlying the connection between diet and insulin sensitivity, we used Illumina RNA-seq to profile gene expression in fat bodies isolated from chronically high sugar fed, wandering (post-prandial) third instar wild type larvae w(L3). These data were compared to control-fed wild-type wL3 fat bodies as well as those expressing transgenic interfering RNA (i) targeting CG18362 (Mio/dChREBP) in the fat body on both diets. Overall design: Female VDRC w1118, cgGAL4, UAS-Dcr2 or UAS-ChREBPi(52606), cgGAL4, UAS-Dcr2 wandering third instar larvae were fed control (0.15M) or high (0.7M) sucrose and fat bodies isolated for RNA extraction.

Description
We compared ecdysone receptor (EcR)-dependent gene expression in the Drosophila fat body on 0.15 M sucrose and 0.5 M sucrose high-sugar diets in order to gain insight into the role of this gene during caloric overload. Phenotypic analyses showed an increased severity of EcR RNAi phenotypes with increasing dietary sugar concentration. Because EcR is a transcription factor, we performed RNA-seq studies to identify transcriptional targets that might underlie insulin resistance downstream of EcR RNAi. Overall design: Control and fat body-expressed EcR RNAi Drosophila were reared on control (0.15 M sucrose) and high-sugar (0.5 M sucrose) diets until the wandering stage. Fat bodies were isolated and RNA extracted to determine the effects of diet on gene expression using Illumina RNA-seq.

Description
We compared Seven-up-dependent gene expression in the Drosophila fat body on control and high-sugar diets in order to gain insight into the role of this gene during caloric overload. Phenotypic analyses showed an increased severity of Seven-up RNAi phenotypes with increasing dietary sugar concentration. Because Seven-up is a transcription factor, we performed RNA-seq studies to identify transcriptional targets that might underlie insulin resistance downstream of Seven-up RNAi. Our data support a model where Seven-up promotes insulin signaling by inhibiting ecdysone receptor target gene expression. Overall design: Control and fat body-expressed Seven-up RNAi Drosophila were reared on control (0.15M sucrose) and high-sugar (0.7M sucrose) diets until the wandering stage. Fat bodies were isolated and RNA extracted to determine the effects of diet on gene expression using Illumina RNA-seq.

Description
Chronic high sugar feeding induces obesity, hyperglycemia, and insulin resistance in flies and mammals. To gain insight into the mechanisms underlying this response, we profiled gene expression in chronically high sugar fed, wandering (post-prandial) third instar wild type larvae (L3). These data were compared to control-fed larvae as well as those (mid-L3) actively feeding for twelve hours on both diets.
