Transcriptional analysis of fluorescence-activated sorted Mesp-GFP-labeled B7.5 founder trunk ventral cell lineage cells from Ciona intestinalis

ABSTRACT: The Ciona heart progenitor lineage (TVC, trunk ventral cells) is first specified by Fibroblast Growth Factor/Map Kinase (FGF/MapK) activation of the transcription factor Ets1/2 (Ets). For this analysis, B7.5 lineage cells were labeled with the Mesp-GFP reporter. In the first experiment, we targeted a dominant-negative form of the sole Ciona FGF receptor (FGFRdn) to the B7.5 lineage using the Mesp enhancer (Mesp-FGFRdn). In the second experiment, we targeted a dominant repressor form of Ets1/2 to the B7.5 lineage using the Mesp enhancer (Mesp-EtsWRPW). This construct is designed to repress Ets1/2 target gene transcription and has previously been shown to abolish TVC induction. We employed whole-genome microarray analysis of sorted B7.5 lineage cells to identify primary FGF:MapK:Ets1/2 target genes.

The complex, partially redundant gene regulatory architecture underlying vertebrate heart formation has been difficult to characterize. Here, we dissect the primary cardiac gene regulatory network in the invertebrate chordate, Ciona intestinalis. The Ciona heart progenitor lineage is first specified by Fibroblast Growth Factor/Map Kinase (FGF/MapK) activation of the transcription factor Ets1/2 (Ets). Through microarray analysis of sorted heart progenitor cells, we identified the complete set of ...[more]

Project description:Postplasmic/PEM RNAs constitute a large class of cortical maternal RNAs with include at least 2 determinants (Macho1 and PEM1) involved in muscle differentiation, unequal cleavage and posterior patterning of the embryo. Two main classes have been defined - type I (localized in oocytes) and type II (localizing in embryos). Based on the fact that Vasa RNA - the only type II recognized in Ciona - segregates into B8.12 (germ) and sister B8.11 cells, while many others (including Macho1 and PEM1) segregate only into B8.11 (somatic) cells a first attempts at re-classifying these RNAs has been made. We have analyzed the associations of postplasmic/PEM RNAs with cortical structures in 2 ascidians species Ciona intestinalis and Phallusia mammillata using: - very high resolution fluorescent in situ hybridization localization in eggs and embryos and in their cortical fragments, - comparisons of RNAs extracted from whole oocytes and from isolated cortices using microarray analysis â screening of the Ciona intestinalis genome for the presence in 3â UTR regions of repeats containing the tri-nucleotide CAC motif (xCACx) followed by localization of xCACx rich RNAs using in situ hybridization. Based on our combined approaches we observe that: - 1) the vast majority of Ciona intestinalis postplasmic/PEM RNAs (including Ci-Vasa) are cortically localized in the eggs (type I) - 2) postplasmic/PEM RNAs are much more likely to contain xCACx motifs in their 3âUTR than other transcripts. Using this criterion we have found 2 new postplasmic/PEM RNAs: MnK and PSD - 3) some postplasmic/PEM RNAs are anchored to cER while others are located into granules. We therefore come to the conclusion that there are at least 2 distinct categories of postplasmic/PEM RNAs based on their cortical anchorage and cell fate: I) cER sub-domain associated postplasmic/PEM RNAs (Macho1 like) which segregate in the somatic B8.11 cells. II) postplasmic/PEM RNAs associated with (putative germ) granules (Vasa like) which in addition to B8.11 cells segregate into B8.12 germ cells. Two kinds of sample, Dye Swap design with 2 arrays
