Project description:Mammalian heart development is built on highly conserved molecular mechanisms with polygenetic perturbations resulting in a spectrum of congenital heart diseases (CHD). However, the transcriptional landscape of cardiogenic ontogeny that regulates proper cardiogenesis remains largely based on candidate-gene approaches. Herein, we designed a time-course transcriptome analysis to investigate the genome-wide expression profile of innate murine cardiogenesis ranging from embryonic stem cells to adult cardiac structures. This comprehensive analysis generated temporal and spatial expression profiles, prioritized stage-specific gene functions, and mapped the dynamic transcriptome of cardiogenesis to curated pathways. Reconciling the bioinformatics of the congenital heart disease interactome, we deconstructed disease-centric regulatory networks encoded within this cardiogenic atlas to reveal stage-specific developmental disturbances clustered on epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), BMP regulation, NF-AT signaling, TGFb-dependent induction, and Notch signaling. Therefore, this cardiogenic transcriptional landscape defines the time-dependent expression of cardiac ontogeny and prioritizes regulatory networks at the interface between health and disease. To interrogate the temporal and spatial expression profiles across the entire genome during mammalian heart development, we designed a time-course microarray experiment using the mouse model at defined stages of cardiogenesis, starting with embryonic stem cells (ESC, R1 stem cell line), early embryonic developmental stages: E7.5 whole embryos, E8.5 heart tubes, left and right ventricle tissues at E9.5, E12.5, E14.5, E18.5 to 3 days after birth (D3) and adult heart (Figure 1A). At each time point, microarray experiments were performed on triplicate biological samples. Starting at E9.5, tissue samples from left ventricles (LV) and right ventricles (RV) were microdissected for RNA purification and microarray analysis to determine spatially differential gene expression between LV and RV during heart development.

Project description:Single Cell Microarray <br>E10.5 genital ridges (TM at E7.5) incubated in 0.5mM EDTA/ PBS for 20 minutes at 37ï¾°C were transferred to 2% BSA/ PBS. PGCs were collected from the genital ridges pierced with fine glass needles. Released PGCs were identified by their morphological characteristics and transferred into lysis buffer with a mouth pipette. PGCs were genotyped with the remaining genital ridges. The amplified cDNA library of each PGC was classified by qPCR-based expression analyses of Nanog, Oct4, and Stella/Dppa3 (Kurimoto et al., 2007). cDNAs were labeled by in vitro transcription (Affymetrix). The cRNAs were hybridized with the GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (Affymetrix). Data were analyzed using the Microsoft Excel and MeV (multiple experimental viewer) software. <br>

Project description:It has now been well established that hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells originate from a specialised subset of endothelium termed hemogenic endothelium (HE) via an endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition. However, the molecular mechanisms determining which endothelial progenitors possess or not this hemogenic potential is currently unknown. In this study, we investigated the changes in hemogenic potential in endothelial progenitors at the early stages of embryonic development. We use a microarray approach to profile the genes regulated between E7.5 and E8.5 embryonic day in the ETV2+FLK1+CD41- compartment. Cells were sorted based on ETV2::GFP+/FLK1+/CD41- immunophenotype from ETV2::GFP embryos at E7.5 and E8.5 developmental stage in triplicates

Project description:Much remains unknown about the signals that induce early mesoderm to initiate hematopoietic differentiation. Here we show that endoglin (Eng), a receptor for the TGFβ superfamily, identifies all cells with hematopoietic fate in the early embryo. These arise in an Eng+Flk1+ mesodermal precursor population at E7.5, a cell fraction also endowed with endothelial potential. In Eng knockout embryos, hematopoietic colony activity and numbers of CD71+Ter119+ erythroid progenitors were severely reduced. This coincided with severely reduced expression of embryonic globin and key BMP target genes including the hematopoietic regulators Scl, Gata1, Gata2 and Msx-1. To interrogate molecular pathways active in the earliest hematopoietic progenitors, we applied transcriptional profiling to sorted cells from E7.5 embryos. Eng+Flk-1+ progenitors co-expressed TGFβ and BMP receptors and target genes. Furthermore, Eng+Flk-1+ cells presented high levels of phospho-SMAD1/5, indicating active TGFβ and/or BMP signaling. Remarkably, under hematopoietic serum-free culture conditions, hematopoietic outgrowth of endoglin-expressing cells was dependent on TGFβ superfamily ligands: BMP4, BMP2, or TGF-β1. These data demonstrate that the E+F+ fraction at E7.5 represents mesodermal cells competent to respond to TGFb1, BMP4, or BMP2, shaping their hematopoietic development, and that endoglin is a critical regulator in this process by modulating TGF/BMP signaling. E7.5 pooled embryos (25 litters; 300 embryos approximately) were dissected and 3,000 cells were sorted in triplicate for Eng-Flk1-, Eng-Flk1+, Eng+Flk1+, and Eng+Flk1- fractions. Microarray results were analyzed with GeneSpring GX software.

Project description:Ptf1a is a lineage-specific basic-helix-loop-helix transcription factor critical in the development of both the pancreas and nervous system. How one transcription factor controls diverse programs of gene expression is a fundamental question in developmental biology. To uncover molecular strategies for the program-specific functions of Ptf1a, we identified bound genomic regions in vivo during development of both tissues. A majority of regions bound by Ptf1a are tissue-specific, lie near genes needed for proper formation and maturation of each tissue, and reflect regions of open chromatin.M-BM- M-BM- Information for the specificity of Ptf1a binding and function is encoded in the DNA surrounding the Ptf1a-bound sites, since Ptf1a-bound regions are sufficient to direct tissue-restricted reporter expression when tested in transgenic mice. Fox and Sox factors were identified as lineage specific modifiers ofM-BM- Ptf1a binding, sinceM-BM- binding motifs for these factors are enriched in Ptf1a-bound regions in pancreas and neural tube, respectively. Although Ptf1a and Foxa2 co-localize to sites in embryonic pancreas and can act synergistically in cell transfection assays, biochemical experiments detected no physical interaction between the two factors. These findingsM-BM- indicateM-BM- that lineage-specific chromatin landscapes likely constrain the functions of Ptf1a, and identify Fox and Sox gene families as part of this process. RNA-Seq: Examination of gene expression in Ptf1a expressing cells (NT E.12.5, Pancreas E15.5) ChIP-Seq: Examination of chromatin occupancy in 2 tissue types (E12.5 NT and 17.5 Pancreas). Faire-Seq: Examination of open chromatin in 2 tissue types (E12.5 NT and 17.5 Pancreas).

Project description:E12.5 AV cushion and E17.5 AV valve from wild-type FVB/N mice and in vitro cultured MC3T3 cells; In the study we demonstrated shared gene expression in embryonic heart valve development and Osteoblast progenitor cells. The atrioventricular (AV) valves of the heart develop from undifferentiated mesenchymal endocardial cushions, that later remodel into stratified valves with diversified extracellular matrix (ECM). Because the mature valves express genes associated with osteogenesis and exhibit disease-associated calcification, we hypothesized the existence of shared regulatory pathways active in the remodeling AV valves and in bone progenitor cells. In order to define gene regulatory programs of valvulogenesis relative to osteoblast progenitors, we undertook Affymetrix gene expression profiling analysis of murine embryonic day (E)12.5 AV cushions compared to E17.5 remodeled AV valves (mitral and tri-cuspid) and to pre-osteoblast MC3T3-E1 (subclone4) cells. Overall MC3T3 cells were significantly more similar to E17.5 valves than to E12.5 cushions, supporting the hypothesis that valve remodeling involves the expression of many genes also expressed in osteoblasts. Several transcription factors characteristic of mesenchymal and osteoblast precursor cells, including Twist1 are predominant in E12.5 cushion. Valve remodeling also includes differential regulation of matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors as well as characteristic collagen isoform switching. Among the most highly enriched genes during valvulogenesis were members of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family including Asporin, a known negative regulator of osteoblast differentiation and mineralization. Together, these data support shared gene expression profiles of the remodeling valves and osteoblast bone precursor cells in normal valve development and homeostasis with potential functions in calcific valve disease. Experiment Overall Design: In the study, we hybridized RNA from E12.5 AV cushion and E17.5 AV valve from wild-type FVB/N mice and in vitro cultured MC3T3 cells to Affymetrix MOE430 2 GeneChip® arrays.

Project description:To elucidate the molecular features of craniofacial versus trunk neural crest cells (NCCs), we utilized P0-Cre/Floxed-EGFP mice that specifically label NCCs (Yamauchi et al., 1999 (PMID 10419695)). Craniofacial and trunk regions were isolated from P0-Cre/Floxed-EGFP mouse embryos at embryonic day E12.5, and dissociated cells were analyzed by flow cytometory in regard to the intensity of EGFP. In this study, we performed at least duplicate experiments for each of the four groups (Craniofacial EGFP+, Trunk EGFP+, Craniofacial EGFP-, Trunk EGFP-). Total of 9 samples.

Project description:Coordination of cellular processes through the establishment of tissue-specific gene expression programmes is essential for lineage maturation. The basic helix-loop-helix haemopoietic transcriptional regulator SCL/Tal1 is required for terminal differentiation of red blood cells. To gain insight into SCL function and mechanisms of action in erythropoiesis, we performed ChIP-sequencing and gene expression analyses from primary fetal liver erythroid cells. We show that SCL coordinates expression of genes in most known red cell-specific processes. The majority of SCLâs genomic targets require direct DNA-binding activity. However, one fifth of SCLâs target sequences, mainly amongst those showing high affinity for SCL, can recruit the factor independently of its DNA binding activity. An unbiased DNA motif search of sequences bound by SCL identified CAGNTG as SCL-preferred E-box motif in erythroid cells. Novel motifs were also characterised that may help distinguish activated from repressed genes and suggest a new mechanism by which SCL may be recruited to DNA. Finally, analysis of recruitment of GATA1, a protein partner of SCL, to sequences occupied by SCL suggests that SCLâs binding is necessary prior or simultaneous to that of GATA1. This work provides the framework to study regulatory networks leading to erythroid terminal maturation and to model mechanisms of action of tissue-specific transcription factors. Total RNA extracted from wild-type (WT) day E12.5 fetal liver Ter119- erythroid progenitor cells was compared to total RNA extracted from E12.5 fetal liver Ter119- cells expressing a DNA-binding mutant form of SCL (SclRER/RER).

Project description:The 5HT system is organized into rostral and caudal populations with discrete anatomical locations and opposite axonal trajectories in the developing hindbrain. 5HT neuron cell bodies in the rostral subdivision migrate to the midbrain and pons and extend ascending projections throughout the forebrain. 5HT cell bodies in the caudal subdivision migrate to the ventral medulla and caudal half of the pons and provide descending projections to the brainstem and spinal cord. Experiment Overall Design: We used microarrays to determine genes expressed by both rostral and caudal 5HT neurons as well as genes that are differentially expressed between rostral and caudal 5HT neurons at E12.5 when axon pathfinding and cell migration are underway. E12.5 neural tubes were isolated from ePet-EYFP embryos and dissected into a rostral domain (mesecephalic flexure to pontine flexure) and a caudal domain (pontine flexure to spinal cord). After cell dissociation (details under growth protocol), cells were subjected to fluorescent activated cell sorting (FACS) to obtain 4 cell populations. R+ = rostral ePetEYFP positive 5HT neurons; R- = YFP negative non-serotonergic cells in the rostral neural tube; C+ = caudal ePetEYFP positive 5HT neurons; C- = YFP negative non-serotonergic cells in the caudal neural tube. 200,000 cells for each of the 4 cell types (R+, R-, C+, C-) were collected for RNA extraction and hybridization to Affymetrix Mouse 430 2.0 arrays.

Project description:Zinc-finger genes Fezf1 and Fezf2 encode transcriptional repressors. Fezf1 and Fezf2 are expressed in the early neural stem/progenitor cells and control neuronal differentiation in mouse dorsal telencephalon. We compared gene expression profiles of rostral forebrains, which contain the telencephalon and the rostral part of the diencephalon, from embryonic day (E) 9.5, E10.5, and E12.5 wild-type control and Fezf1-/- Fezf2 -/- mouse embryos. The forebrain rostral to the caudal limit of the lateral ventricles was isolated manually from E9.5, E10.5, and E12.5 wild-type and Fezf1-/- Fezf2-/- mice. Total RNAs were isolated by Separsol-RNA I and were used for microarray analyses.
