Xenopus laevis embryos and animal caps: Control vs PouV morpholino

ABSTRACT: Transcriptional profiling of Xenopus laevis embryos and ectoderm (animal caps) comparing embryos injected with control morpholino with embryos injected with the morpholino mixture PVD2, which knocks down all three Xenopus PouV proteins. Whole embryos (WE) or animal caps (AC) were collected at late blastula (9) or early gastrula (10) stages from Control and PVD2 morphants. Two conditions: Control vs. PouV morpholino; Two tissues: whole embryos, animal caps .Two timepoints: stage 9 and 10. Biological replicates: 2 control replicates at stage 9 and 10 for whole embryos, 2 control replicates at stage 9 and 10 for animal caps, 2 PVD2 morpholino replicates at stage 9 and 10 for whole embryos, 2 control replicates at stage 9 and 10 for animal caps

<h4>Background</h4>The class V POU domain transcription factor Oct4 (Pou5f1) is a pivotal regulator of embryonic stem cell (ESC) self-renewal and reprogramming of somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Oct4 is also an important evolutionarily conserved regulator of progenitor cell differentiation during embryonic development.<h4>Results</h4>Here we examine the function of Oct4 homologs in Xenopus embryos and compare this to the role of Oct4 in maintaining mammalian embryo-derived ...[more]

Project description:Neural crest development is orchestrated by a complex and still poorly understood gene regulatory network. Premigratory neural crest is induced at the lateral border of the neural plate by the combined action of signaling molecules and transcription factors such as AP2, Gbx2, Pax3 and Zic1. Among them, Pax3 and Zic1 are both necessary and sufficient to trigger a complete neural crest developmental program. However, their gene targets in the neural crest regulatory network remain unknown. Here, through a transcriptome analysis of frog microdissected neural border, we identified an extended gene signature for the premigratory neural crest, and we defined novel potential members of the regulatory network. This signature includes 34 novel genes, as well as 44 known genes expressed at the neural border. Using another microarray analysis which combined Pax3 and Zic1 gain-of-function and protein translation blockade, we uncovered 25 Pax3 and Zic1 direct targets within this signature. We demonstrated that the neural border specifiers Pax3 and Zic1 are direct upstream regulators of neural crest specifiers Snail1/2, Foxd3, Twist1, and Tfap2b. In addition, they may modulate the transcriptional output of multiple signaling pathways involved in neural crest development (Wnt, Retinoic Acid) through the induction of key pathway regulators (Axin2 and Cyp26c1). We also found that Pax3 could maintain its own expression through a positive autoregulatory feedback loop. These hierarchical inductions, feedback loops, and pathway modulation provide novel tools to understand the neural crest induction network. Transcriptomes of animal caps overexpressing Pax3+/-Zic1 in the presence/absence of cycloheximide, a translation inhibitor, were compared to control animal caps to identify direct Pax3 and Zic1 targets 2-4 cells stage embryos were injected with inducible Pax3-GR+/-Zic1-GR constructs. Animal caps were cut at stage 9. Cycloheximide (Chx, 0.1mg/ml) was then applied to the healed animal caps, from stage 10 to 10.5 (i.e. for 30 min at 23*C), then dexamethasone (Dex) was added at stage 10.5 to the cycloheximide-containing medium. Explants were rinced and lysed after two additional hours at 23*C, i.e. when sibling embryos reached stage 11.5-12. Total RNA was then extracted and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays. Transcriptomes were compared to determine Pax3 and Zic1 targets.
