Expression Profiles of Planarain Stem Cells and their Immediate Division Progeny

ABSTRACT: Throughout adulthood, the replacement of cells lost to physiological turnover or injury in planarians is sustained by the proliferation and differentiation of adult stem cells known as neoblasts. Because neoblasts are the only known mitotic cells in asexual planarians, they can be efficiently eliminated by irradiation without significantly affecting post-mitotic differentiated cells. We uncovered a cohort of transcripts specific to the stem cells and their division progeny by defining the expression profiles of wild type and irradiated animals at different time points after irradiation. RNA from wild type animals, or from animals 24 hours or seven days after exposure to radiation, were compared to a common reference.

Molecular analysis of stem cells and their descendants during cell turnover and regeneration in the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea.

In adult planarians, the replacement of cells lost to physiological turnover or injury is sustained by the proliferation and differentiation of stem cells known as neoblasts. Neoblast lineage relationships and the molecular changes that take place during differentiation into the appropriate cell types are poorly understood. Here we report the identification and characterization of a cohort of genes specifically expressed in neoblasts and their descendants. We find that genes with severely downre ...[more]

Gene Expression Profiles of Planarians after 6,000 Rads Irradiation

Project description:The goal of the study was to identify genes expressed in the proliferative cell population (neoblasts) of adult planarians. Proliferating cells are rapidly and specifically eliminated following lethal irradiation. Genes expressed by neoblasts, therefore, were expected to show decreased level of expression following 6,000 rads, relative to control animals. Total RNA was collected from control (unirradiated) animals and from animals 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours following 6,000 rads irradiation. Between three and five replicates were used for each sample

A tetraspanin family member functionally resolves and facilitates the purification of adult pluripotent stem cells used for whole-body regeneration (Bulk)

Project description:Proliferating cells known as neoblasts include pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) capable of sustaining tissue homeostasis and regeneration of lost body parts in planarians. However, the lack of markers to prospectively identify and isolate these adult PSCs has significantly hampered their characterization. We used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and single cell transplantation to address this long-standing issue. Large-scale scRNA-seq of fluorescently sorted neoblasts unveiled a novel subtype of neoblast (Nb2) characterized by high levels of PIWI-1 mRNA and protein, and marked by a conserved cell-surface protein coding gene, tetraspanin 1 (tspan1). tspan1-positive cells survived sub-lethal irradiation, underwent clonal expansion to repopulate whole animals, and when purified with an anti-TSPAN-1 antibody rescued with high efficiency the viability of lethally irradiated animals after single-cell transplantation. Our work demonstrates the first prospective isolation of an adult PSC, bridges a conceptual dichotomy between operationally and molecularly defined neoblasts, and sheds light on the mechanisms governing in vivo pluripotency and the source of regeneration in planarians.

454 Life Sciences/Roche and Illumina sequencing of small RNAs from planarian samples

Project description:Freshwater planarian flatworms possess uncanny regenerative capacities mediated by abundant and collectively totipotent adult stem cells. Key functions of these cells during regeneration and tissue homeostasis have been shown to depend on PIWI, a molecule required for piRNA expression in planarians. Nevertheless, the full complement of piRNAs, and microRNAs (miRNAs) in this organism has yet to be defined. Here, we report on the large scale cloning and sequencing of small RNAs from the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea, yielding altogether millions of sequenced unique small RNAs. We show that piRNAs are in part organized in genomic clusters and that they share characteristic features with mammalian and fly piRNAs. We further identify 61 novel miRNA genes and thus double the number of known planarian miRNAs. Sequencing, as well as quantitative PCR of small RNAs uncovered ten miRNAs enriched in planarian stem cells. These miRNAs are down-regulated in animals in which stem cells have been abrogated by irradiation, and thus constitute miRNAs likely associated with specific stem cell functions. Altogether, we present the first comprehensive small RNA analysis in animals belonging to the third animal superphylum, the Lophotrochozoa, and single out a number of miRNAs that may function in regeneration. Several of these miRNAs are deeply conserved in animals. Small RNAs were sequenced from FACS-sorted neoblast stem cells, untreated planarians and irradiated planarians, depleted of neoblasts

Combining transcriptome and proteome analysis to identify and characterize the RpoS regulon in Pseudomonas fluorescens

Project description:Background: Microorganisms are the major cause of food spoilage during storage, processing and distribution. Pseudomonas fluorescens is a typical spoilage bacterium that contributes to a large extent to the spoilage process of proteinaceous food. RpoS is considered an important global regulator involved in stress survival and virulence in many pathogens. Our previous work revealed that RpoS contributed to the spoilage activities of P. fluorescens by regulating resistance to different stress conditions, extracellular acylated homoserine lactone (AHL) levels, extracellular protease and total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) production. However, RpoS-dependent genes in P. fluorescens remained undefined. Results: RNA-seq transcriptomics analysis combined with quantitative proteomics analysis basing on multiplexed isobaric tandem mass tag (TMT) labeling was performed for the P. fluorescens wild-type strain UK4 and its derivative carrying a rpoS mutation. A total of 375 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 212 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified in these two backgrounds. The DGEs were further verified by qRT-PCR tests, and the genes directly regulated by RpoS were confirmed by 5’-RACE-PCR sequencing. The combining transcriptome and proteome analysis revealed a role of this regulator in several cellular processes, including polysaccharide metabolism, intracellular secretion and extracellular structures, cell well biogenesis, stress responses, ammonia and biogenic amine production, which may contribute to biofilm formation, stress resistance and spoilage activities of P. fluorescens. Moreover, in this work we indeed observed that RpoS contributed to the production of the macrocolony biofilm’s matrix.

Unirradiated vs. irradiated wounded planarians

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Schmidtea mediterranea planarians that have been amputated transversely and left to regenerate for different time points (UNIRR); the same experiment was performed on irradiated - neoblast depleted animals (IRR). The purpose of this experiment was to identify transcriptional changes that are induced within the first 12h following amputation. In order to distinguish between gene expression changes in the differentiated tissue and the neoblasts, a second set of time course data was created from irradiated animals Two-color experiment, 3 replicates per condition (including 10 animals/replica)
