Project description:Estrogen signaling is important for vertebrate embryonic development. Here we have used zebrafish (Danio rerio) as a vertebrate model to identify estrogen regulated genes during the first 4 days of development. Zebrafish embryos were exposed to 1 M-BM-5M 17M-NM-2-estradiol from 3 hours post fertilization to 4 days post fertilization, harvested daily and subjected to RNA extraction for transcriptome analysis using microarrays. Estrogen responsive genes were analyzed with hierarchical clustering followed by gene function and tissue expression analysis. Markedly distinct sets of genes were up and down-regulated by estrogen treatment at different time points. Among these genes, only the well-known estrogenic marker vtg1 was co-regulated at all time points. Despite this, the biological functional categories targeted by estrogen were similar throughout zebrafish development. Estrogen responsive genes were enriched mainly in the liver, pancreas and brain. In conclusion, our data shows that in zebrafish distinct cohorts of E2 responsive genes are expressed in a tissue specific manner at different developmental stages. However, the biological pathways that are affected are conserved. 30 embryos were pooled as one sample and exposed to 1 M-NM-<M E2 or vehicle (0.1% DMSO) at approximately 3 hours post fertilization (hpf). At different time points, 1 dpf (24 hpf), 2 dpf (48 hpf), 3 dpf (72 hpf) and 4 dpf (104 hpf), embryos were collected for total RNA extractions. Time points 1 and 2 dpf were performed in biological triplicates of independent pools of RNA while time points 3 and 4 dpf were performed in quadruplicates.

Project description:A great number of studies have investigated changes induced by morphine exposure in gene expression using several experimental models. In this study, we examined gene expression changes during chronic exposure to morphine during maturation and differentiation of zebrafish CNS. Our study identified different functional classes of genes and individual candidates involved in the mechanisms underlying susceptibility to morphine actions related to CNS development. These results open new lines to study the treatment of pain and the molecular mechanisms involved in addiction. We also found a set of zebrafish-specific morphine-induced genes, which may be putative targets in human models for addiction and pain processes. Zebrafish embryos were divided into two experimental groups: control embryos and embryos at 5 hpf exposed to 10 nM morphine and collected at 24 hpf (covering the complete embryogenesis). Morphine was administered to the embryos in their water environment, i.e., diluted in E3 embryonic medium. The exposition to begun at the stage of 5 hpf (end of blastula) is continuous, in order to study the chronic effects of the exposure to drug. Microarray experiments were performed using six replicates for each condition, which contained the RNA of approximately one hundred embryos to minimize the influence of potential individual differences between the animals and technical variation introduced by tissue preparation. We previously reported that a concentration of 10 nM morphine is the highest concentration that can be used without a toxic effect on the embryos, and close to 5% of the morphine diluted in the E3 medium is detected in the embryo.

Project description:To further characterize the roles of cortisol signaling via the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in developing zebrafish, we have used morpholino oligonucleotides to knockdown GR protein translation and measured gene expression in RNA extracted from 24 and 36 hours post fertilization (hpf) embryos. The GR morpholino was characterized previously in Nesan et al., 2012, Endocrinology 181, 35-44) Single-cell zebrafish embryos were microinjected with either active morpholino or mispair control. Embryos were frozen at 24 and 36 hpf and total RNA extracted for microarray analysis. Three independent replicates (different breeding events on separate days) were performed for each treatment per timepoint.

Project description:We use the zebrafish embryo model to study the innate immune response against Staphylococcus epidermidis. Therefore, we injected S. epidermidis (and three controls groups) into the yolk at 2 hpf and samples at mutiple timepoints. Gene expression profiles were obtained at 6, 30, 54, 78, 102 and 126 hpi by microarrays. The results show that the gram-positive bacterium S. epidermidis induces a late immune response with a strong response at 102 hpi. This microarray study was designed to determine the gene expression profile during infection with Staphylococcus epidermidis. RNA was isolated from groups of embryos (20) at 6 timepoints during the infection. Wildtypes zebrafish embryos were micro-injected into the yolk (2hpf) with (1) 20 CFU of S. epidermdis O-47 mCherry bacteria suspended in PVP (Polyvinylpyrrolidone), (2) mock-injected with PVP as a control, (3) Needle insertion as control, (4) Non-injected as a control. After injections embryos were transferred into fresh egg water and incubated at 28M-BM-0C. At 8 hpf (6 h post infection), 32 hpf (30 h post infection), 56 hpf (54 h post infection), 80 hpf (78 h post infection), 104 hpf (102 h post infection) or 128 hpf (126 h post infection) twenty embryos per treatment group were snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen, and total RNA was isolated using TRIZOL reagent. All treatment groups were analyzed using a common reference approach.

Project description:The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) regulates gene expression upon activation by glucocorticoid (GC) hormones. In zebrafish, two GR splice variants exist: the canonical GR M-NM-1-isoform (GRM-NM-1), and the GR M-NM-2-isoform (GRM-NM-2). The exact function of GRb remains elusive. We have investigated the transcriptional role of GRa and GRb in the zebrafish embryo model by injecting mebryos with two splice-blocking morpholinos (one leading to knockdown of both GR M-NM-1- and M-NM-2-isoforms, and another targeting the alternative splicing of the GR pre-mRNA in favor of the GR M-NM-2-isoform) and with GRM-NM-2 mRNA (resulting in specific GRM-NM-2 overexpression). Transcriptome profiling was performed on total RNA isolated from 30 hpf embryos. Our results show that GRb does not act as a dominant-negative inhibitor of GRa, and that GRa regulates two distinct gene clusters, which are mainly involved in the metabolism of the embryo. This microarray study was designed to determine the effect of knockdown and overexpression of GRa and GRb. For this purpose, wild type (AB/TL) zebrafish embryos were injected at the 1-2 cell stage with a standard control morpholino (SC-MO), a splice-blocking morpholino leading to knockdown of both GR M-NM-1- and M-NM-2-isoforms (MO1), a splice-blocking morpholino targeting the alternative splicing of the GR pre-mRNA in favor of the GR M-NM-2-isoform (MO2), or GRb mRNA. At 24 hpf, each group was treated with dexamathasone (or vehicle) for 6 hr. This resulted in 8 treament groups: SC-MO/veh, SC-MO/dex, MO1/veh, MO1/dex, MO2/veh, MO2/dex, GRb mRNA/veh, GRb mRNA/dex. After the incubation period, embryos were collected and RNA was isolated from 20 embryos per treatment group (30 hpf). Three individual experiments were performed, and the resulting triplicate samples were analyzed by microarray, using a common reference approach.

Project description:Aiming to identify insulin-independent modulators of glucose homeostasis, we performed a drug screen on zebrafish insulin (ins) mutants and identified androgen receptor (AR) antagonists. To investigate how AR antagonism mediates glucose level reduction in ins mutants, we evaluated the effects of antagonist treatment using transcriptomic studies. RNA-Seq analyses were performed on 120 hours post fertilization (hpf) ins mutants treated with Flutamide or Cyproterone starting at 84 hpf compared to vehicle (DMSO) treated mutants.

Project description:In zebrafish, ovulated oocytes contain both cortisol deposited from the maternal circulation and maternal mRNA for the glucocorticoid receptor (gr mRNA), which is spread as granular structures throughout the central ooplasm. At the 1-cell stage (0.2 hpf), this transcript is relocated by streamers in the blastodisc area and equally partitioned among blastomeres. At 15 hpf, it is replaced by the zygotic transcript. Morpholino knockdown was applied to block translation (grATG1MO or MO2-nr3c1 and grATG2MO or MO3-nr3c1) of both maternal and zygotic gr transcripts, while a missplicing morpholino (grmismMO or MO4-nr3c1) was used to block post-transcriptionally the zygotic transcript alone. MO2-nr3c1 and MO3-nr3c1 (but not MO4-nr3c1) treatment produced craniofacial and caudal malformations in 1-dpf embryos and 5-dpf larvae, which were also affected by pericardial oedema, persistent yolk sac, reduced subintestinal veins, altered neurogenesis and uninflated swim bladder. Such effects were rescued with trout gr2 mRNA. Pangenomic microarray analysis revealed that 114 and 37 highly expressed transcripts were up- and down-regulated, respectively, by maternal GR protein deficiency in 5-hpf embryos. Similar alterations were found at 10 hpf. These effects were confirmed by real-time PCR of 2 up- (casp8, grp1 and igf2a) and 1 down-regulated transcripts (mcm6) evaluated at 4, 8 and 12 hpf. As the contents of transcripts were modified already at 4 hpf, it seems that the lack of GR affects both ways the molecular machinery for the degradation of maternal mRNAs. These results indicate that the maternal gr transcript participates in the maternal programming of zebrafish development. MO2-nr3c1 morphants were compared with MO2-nr3c1-5m morphants at 5 hpf and 10 hpf. MO2-nr3c1 morphants were compared with wild type (WT) at 5 hpf and 10 hpf. MO2-nr3c1 is a morpholino selected to knockdown translation of gr mRNA. MO2-nr3c1-5m is a specific control morpholino.
