Comment[ArrayExpressAccession] E-MTAB-1608 MAGE-TAB Version 1.1 Investigation Title Heat Hardening Comment[Submitted Name] Heat Hardening Experiment Description A common measure of heat resistance in Drosophila is the time it takes a fly to be knocked down by higher temperatures measured in a long knockdown tube or in small glass vials. This heat knockdown process involves gradual paralysis and non-responsiveness to stimuli, usually within half hour duration of constant heat exposure, and is ostensibly reversible upon return to lower temperatures, although there may be long-term fitness effects. Hardening for increased heat resistance requires exposure periods of up to 3 hours at temperatures ranging from 34C to 38C. The experiment was aimed at understanding the heat hardening process and samples were taken during the hardening period (15 minutes, 45 minutes, 1½ hours, 2¼ hours and 3 hours).

No CO2 was used during the sampling as this has been observed to have a significant effect on heat hardening. Control flies were maintained in a 18C incubator and heat harderned flies were placed in a 36C incubator. Briefly, samples were homogenised in 1 ml TRIzol in FastPrep tubes (Lysing Matrix D; Q-Biogene, Morgan Irvine, CA, USA) using a bead mill (Hybaid RiboLyser; Hybaid, Teddington, UK). Total RNA was extracted using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) following the manufacturers instructions. The RNA was further processed into cRNA using standard Affymetrix protocols. Probes from the Affymetrix Drosophila_2 Gene Chips were mapped to up-to-date Ensembl transcript annotation with Custom CDF Drosphila2_Dm_ENST. To remove background and probe sequence biases and to summarize probes into probeset values we used gcrma in R version 2.15. Probesets that could be mapped to mRNA transcripts that were expressed were retained for loess probeset-level normalization. If a probeset mapped to more than one transcript, then only one transcript was used for subsequent analysis.
