    Abstract Aims: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists are effective treatments for type 2 diabetes, effectively lowering glucose without weight gain and with low risk for hypoglycemia. However, their influence on the retinal neurovascular unit remains unclear. In this study, we analyzed the effects of the GLP-1 RA lixisenatide on diabetic retinopathy.
    Methods: Vasculo- and neuroprotective effects were assessed in experimental diabetic retinopathy and high glucose-cultivated C. elegans, respectively. In STZ-diabetic Wistar rats, acellular capillaries and pericytes (quantitative retinal morphometry), neuroretinal function (mfERG), macroglia (GFAP western blot) and microglia (immunohistochemistry) quantification, methylglyoxal (LC-MS/MS) and retinal gene expressions (RNA-sequencing) were determined. The antioxidant properties of lixisenatide were tested in C. elegans.
    Results: Lixisenatide had no effect on glucose metabolism. Lixisenatide preserved the retinal vasculature and neuroretinal function. The macro- and microglial activation was mitigated. Lixisenatide normalized some gene expression changes in diabetic animals to control levels. Ets2 was identified as a regulator of inflammatory genes. In C. elegans, lixisenatide showed the antioxidative property.
    Conclusions: Our data suggest that lixisenatide has a protective effect on the diabetic retina, most likely due to a combination of neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects of lixisenatide on the neurovascular unit.

    Abstract In a classic example of the invasion of a species by a selfish genetic element, the P-element was horizontally transferred from a distantly related species into Drosophila melanogaster. Despite causing 'hybrid dysgenesis', a syndrome of abnormal phenotypes that include sterility, the P-element spread globally in the course of a few decades in D. melanogaster. Until recently, its sister species, including D. simulans, remained P-element free. Here, we find a hybrid dysgenesis-like phenotype in the offspring of crosses between D. simulans strains collected in different years; a survey of 181 strains shows that around 20% of strains induce hybrid dysgenesis. Using genomic and transcriptomic data, we show that this dysgenesis-inducing phenotype is associated with the invasion of the P-element. To characterize this invasion temporally and geographically, we survey 631 D. simulans strains collected on three continents and over 27 years for the presence of the P-element. We find that the D. simulans P-element invasion occurred rapidly and nearly simultaneously in the regions surveyed, with strains containing P-elements being rare in 2006 and common by 2014. Importantly, as evidenced by their resistance to the hybrid dysgenesis phenotype, strains collected from the latter phase of this invasion have adapted to suppress the worst effects of the P-element.

    Abstract Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is characterized by vasoregression and glial activation. miRNA-124 (miR-124) reduces retinal microglial activation and alleviates vasoregression in a neurodegenerative rat model. Our aim was to determine whether miR-124 affects vascular and neural damage in the early diabetic retina. Diabetes was induced in 8-week-old Wistar rats by streptozotocin (STZ) injection. At 16 and 20 weeks, the diabetic rats were intravitreally injected with miR-124 mimic, and retinae were analyzed at 24 weeks. Microvascular damage was identified by evaluating pericyte loss and acellular capillary (AC) formation. Müller glial activation was assessed by glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) immunofluorescence staining. Microglial activation was determined by immunofluorescent staining of ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba1) in whole mount retinae. The neuroretinal function was assessed by electroretinography. The expression of inflammation-associated genes was evaluated by qRT-PCR. A wound healing assay was performed to quantitate the mobility of microglial cells. The results showed that miR-124 treatment alleviated diabetic vasoregression by reducing AC formation and pericyte loss. miR-124 blunted Müller glial- and microglial activation in diabetic retinae and ameliorated neuroretinal function. The retinal expression of inflammatory factors including Tnf-α , Il-1β , Cd74 , Ccl2 , Ccl3 , Vcam1 , Tgf-β1 , Arg1 , and Il-10 was reduced by miR-124 administration. The elevated mobility of microglia upon high glucose exposure was normalized by miR-124. The expression of the transcription factor PU.1 and lipid raft protein Flot1 was downregulated by miR-124. In rat DR, miR-124 prevents vasoregression and glial activation, improves neuroretinal function, and modulates microglial activation and inflammatory responses.

    Abstract Allele frequency time series data constitute a powerful resource for unraveling mechanisms of adaptation, because the temporal dimension captures important information about evolutionary forces. In particular, Evolve and Resequence (E&R), the whole-genome sequencing of replicated experimentally evolving populations, is becoming increasingly popular. Based on computer simulations several studies proposed experimental parameters to optimize the identification of the selection targets. No such recommendations are available for the underlying parameters selection strength and dominance. Here, we introduce a highly accurate method to estimate selection parameters from replicated time series data, which is fast enough to be applied on a genome scale. Using this new method, we evaluate how experimental parameters can be optimized to obtain the most reliable estimates for selection parameters. We show that the effective population size (Ne) and the number of replicates have the largest impact. Because the number of time points and sequencing coverage had only a minor effect, we suggest that time series analysis is feasible without major increase in sequencing costs. We anticipate that time series analysis will become routine in E&R studies.

    Abstract The degree of concordance between populations in the genetic architecture of a given trait is an important issue in medical and evolutionary genetics. Here, we address this problem, using a replicated pooled genome-wide association study approach (Pool-GWAS) to compare the genetic basis of variation in abdominal pigmentation in female European and South African Drosophila melanogaster. We find that, in both the European and the South African flies, variants near the tan and bric-à-brac 1 (bab1) genes are most strongly associated with pigmentation. However, the relative contribution of these loci differs: in the European populations, tan outranks bab1, while the converse is true for the South African flies. Using simulations, we show that this result can be explained parsimoniously, without invoking different causal variants between the populations, by a combination of frequency differences between the two populations and dominance for the causal alleles at the bab1 locus. Our results demonstrate the power of cost-effective, replicated Pool-GWAS to shed light on differences in the genetic architecture of a given trait between populations.
