Odor experience at mating changes female attraction to polyamines.

(A) Scheme depicting paradigm used in all experiments. Virgin females were kept alone for 6–7 days or mated on day 2 for 24 hr, then separated, and test at day 6–7 for their preference for the odor of the polyamine, putrescine. Mated females show a high preference for polyamine, which depends on mating-induced modulation of polyamine-detecting olfactory neurons (see text for details). (B) CantonS females before mating (virgins) and 1–9 days after mating (a.m.) were analyzed for their preference to putrescine odor as groups in a T-maze. (C) Females mutant for ORCO (ORCOmutant) showed a significantly reduced preference for polyamines during olfactory preference test compared to controls (ORCOhet). Note that ORCO is not required for the detection of polyamine odor, but for the detection of pheromones and other food related odors. T-maze group assay. Bars depict preference index (PI) ± SEM. Student-s t-test; p-values: n.s.:>0.05, *:<0.05, **:<0.01 (D) T-maze group assay for females mated at restrictive temperature (32 °C) and tested at permissive temperature for their polyamine preference (25 °C). In addition, ORCO>shits1 and pooled IR76b and IR41a-Gal4>shits1 females were mated and tested at 25 °C as a control. Note that synaptic inhibition of ORCO-expressing OSNs during mating significantly reduced the females’ attraction to putrescine odor. T-maze group assay. (E) T-maze group assay for females mated at restrictive temperature (32 °C) or at permissive temperature (25 °C) and tested at permissive temperature for their polyamine preference (25 °C). Note that increased temperature at test leads to a slightly higher attraction to polyamine as compared to testing at 25 °C. This might explain why the difference between flies of the same genotype tested at different temperatures is reduced by not significantly. Bars depict preference index (PI) ± SEM. Student-s t-test; p-values: n.s.:>0.05, *:<0.05, **:<0.01. N>8 groups of 20–40 female flies.

Analysis of the role of polyamines and mating-related cues.

(A) Mating does not significantly increase the attraction of females to different concentrations of ammonia.(B) Mating does not increase the attraction of females to vinegar in the T-maze. Note that, like in the putrescience and ammonia T-maze experiments, females were not starved. (C) Seminal fluid is not required to induce postmating polyamine preference. Wildtype CantonS females were mated with males without seminal fluid (prd-Gal4;UAS-BiP RNAi) or with control males (prd-Gal4/+ or UAS-BiP RNAi/+). (D) Sperm is not essential for postmating polyamine preference induction. Wildtype CantonS females were mated with sterile males unable to produce sperm (sons of tudor-deficient females) or with control males (control). Single female preference for putrescine in T-maze assay. 50% represents chance. (E) Courtship without mating induces higher preference in virgin females. Note that preference of courted, not mated virgins is not significantly different from mated females (p>0.1). Single female preference for putrescine in T-maze assay. 50% represents chance. (F) Standard fly food contains high levels of polyamines, spermine, spermidine and putrescine. (G) Wildtype CantonS females were exposed in food vials for 24 hr to water or to cVA (pure) and then tested in the T-maze assay for their preference for putrescine. No significant difference was found between the two groups. (H) Wildtype CantonS females were mated to wildtype males on different substrates. Mating for 24 hr on pure agarose reduced mated female attraction to polyamines. Females behaved not significantly different from virgins (a, p>0.1) and females mated on regular fly food (b, p>0.1). Single female preference for putrescine in T-maze assay. 50% represents chance. (I) Group T-maze preference assay with females raised and mated on holidic diet or standard fly food. No significant difference was found between the groups. Depicted p-values for single fly assay, unless indicated otherwise, refer to the difference between experimental and control group in virgins or mated females, respectively.

The mushroom body and learning mechanisms are required in long-term preference change upon mating.

(A) Simplified schematic overview of the observed connections between neurons in the olfactory system. PN: projection neuron; LHN: lateral horn neuron; KC: Kenyon cell; DAN: dopaminergic neuron; MBON: mushroom body output neuron. Olfactory sensory neurons connect to PNs in the antennal lobe. PNs project to the two higher olfactory center, the mushroom body (MB) and the lateral horn (LH). In the MB, they provide input to KCs. In the LH, they connect to various types of LHNs. KCs form excitatory synapses onto MBONs. DANs form modulatory synapses onto KCs and MBONs. Note the existence of several recurrent connections. Selected MBONs also project to the LH and make connections with LHNs. This canonical motif can be found in all 15 MB compartments along the MB lobes. Apart from these synaptic connections, additional connections have been shown or proposed. See text for more details. (B) Scheme of experimental paradigm used to block Kenyon cell (KC) synaptic output at precise times during the experiment. Shibirets1 was expressed under the control of MB10B-Gal4 in all Kenyon cells (KCs). Temperature shifts from 25 to 30℃ at four different time points were used to inhibit KC output before, during, after mating and at test, respectively. At days 6–7 after mating, females were given the choice between the odor of water (control) and the odor of putrescine in a T-maze assay. (C) KC synaptic output is required during mating and during preference test. Inhibition of KC output in virgin females during test did not affect putrescine odor preference. Single female preference for putrescine in T-maze assay. 50% represents chance. Fisher’s exact test. All p-values depict the comparison between the respective control (pBDP-Gal4;UAS-shits1) and the text group (MB10B-Gal4;UAS-shits1). p-values: n.s.:>0.1, *:<0.1, **:<0.05, ***:<0.001. n=16 single female flies.

(A) Left panel shows the expression of GCaMP7s under the control of VT1211 in β’1/2 MBONs. The same flies express CsChrimson under the control of MB188B (PAM-β’1,γ3/4). Middle panel shows a representative image of a response to putrescine odor. Right graph shows the peak ∆F/F GCaMP responses in β’1 and 2 MBONs in three different groups of flies of the same genotype (VT1211-GCaMP7s;MB188B-CsChrimson). Flies were fed with retinal but not exposed to light (black bar), exposed to red light (white bar) or fed with retinal and exposed to red light (test group, yellow bar). No significant difference was found between the groups. n=8–9 (B) Optogenetic stimulation of PAM-β’1,γ3/4 induced a change in calcium levels in the β’1 MBON. The response in flies (VT1211-GCaMP7s;MB188B-CsChrimson) fed with retinal-supplement food and flies of the same genotype fed with standard food is shown. Retinal is necessary to activate Cs-Chrimson. No significant difference was found between groups. Note that retinal is present in low amounts in standard fly food. Therefore, it is possible the PAM-β’1,γ3/4 neurons activate the connected MBONs. (C) The MBON response to putrescine (100 mM) of the flies in (B) is shown. Retinal-supplemented food- and standard fly food-fed flies responded similarly to putrescine odor. n=6 flies fed with retinal, and 6 flies fed with solvent. Bars depict response in % ± SEM. Student t-test; No significant difference was found between groups.

The mushroom body regulates odor preference behavior of females before and after mating.

Working model showing that in virgin females (before mating), the activity of PPL1 dopaminergic neurons and MBONβ’2 suppress the expression of polyamine odor preference. During mating, β’1,γ3/4 PAM dopaminergic neurons and β’1-MBONs convey the experience of mating, possibly through the detection of the pheromone cVA, to the mushroom body. This mechanism induces a long-lasting change in polyamine preference in mating females. Moreover, mating changes the polyamine odor response of the AD1b2 LHONs. After mating, mated females express their higher attraction to polyamine odor through a circuit involving the activity of PAM-β’2,γ4 dopaminergic neurons and the suppression of MBON-β’2 output. In addition, output of the lateral horn through at least two different types of output neurons (AD1b2 and aSP-g) is required for the expression of high polyamine preference. It is conceivable that the lateral horn and the mushroom body circuits are connected through specific output neurons such as MBON-α2sc.
