Transcriptome dynamics of developing photoreceptors in 3-D retina cultures recapitulates temporal sequence of human cone and rod differentiation revealing cell surface markers and gene networks

ABSTRACT: To define molecular mechanisms underlying rod and cone differentiation, we generated H9 human embryonic stem cell line carrying a GFP reporter that is controlled by the promoter of cone-rod homeobox (CRX) gene, the first known marker of post-mitotic photoreceptor precursors. CRXp-GFP reporter in H9 line replicates endogenous CRX expression when induced to form self-organizing 3-D retina-like tissue. We define temporal transcriptome dynamics of developing photoreceptors during the establishment of cone and rod cell fate. Our studies provide an essential framework for delineating molecules and cellular pathways that guide human photoreceptor development and should assist in chemical screening and cell-based therapies of retinal degeneration. Undifferentiated CRXp-GFP HP hES cells and 3D-neural retina were collected at days 37, 47, 67 and 90 and dissociated into single cells. Cells were sorted at 4°C and by FACSAria (Becton Dickinson). GFP+ and GFP- cells were separately collected. Total RNA was extracted by RNA purification kit (Norgen Biotek) and analyzed by 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies Genomics). High quality of total RNA (RIN: 7.7-9.2) was subjected to libraries construction using 40-60 ng of total RNA as input. Libraries were constructed using a stranded modification of the Illumina TruSeq mRNA (Brooks, et al. Meth Mol Biol 2012). Each library was single-end sequenced in an independent lane of a GAIIx at a length of 76 bases. Fastq files were generated from reads passing chastity filter.

The derivation of three-dimensional (3D) stratified neural retina from pluripotent stem cells has permitted investigations of human photoreceptors. We have generated a H9 human embryonic stem cell subclone that carries a green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter under the control of the promoter of cone-rod homeobox (CRX), an established marker of postmitotic photoreceptor precursors. The CRXp-GFP reporter replicates endogenous CRX expression in vitro when the H9 subclone is induced to form self- ...[more]

Project description:Early embryogenesis is a unique developmental stage where genetic control of development is handed off from mother to zygote. Yet the contribution of this transition to the evolution of gene expression is poorly understood. Here we study two aspects of gene expression specific to early embryogenesis in Drosophila: sex-biased gene expression prior to the onset of canonical X chromosomal dosage compensation, and the contribution of maternally supplied mRNAs. We sequenced mRNAs from individual unfertilized eggs, precisely staged and sexed blastoderm embryos and compared levels between D. melanogaster, D. yakuba, D. pseudoobscura and D. virilis. First, we find that mRNA content is highly conserved for a given stage and that studies relying on pooled embryos may systematically overstate the degree of gene expression divergence. Unlike studies done on larvae and adults, where most species show a larger proportion of genes with male-biased expression, we find that transcripts in Drosophila embryos are largely female-biased in all species, likely due to incomplete dosage compensation prior to the activation of the canonical dosage compensation mechanism. The divergence of sex-biased gene expression across species is observed to be often due to a decrease of expression, the most drastic example of which is the overall reduction of male expression from the neo-X chromosome in D. pseudoobscura, leading to a pervasive female-bias on this chromosome. We see no evidence for a faster evolution of expression on the X chromosome in embryos (no “faster X” effect), unlike in adults and contrary to a previous study on pooled non-sexed embryos. Finally, we find that most genes are conserved in regard to their maternal or zygotic origin of transcription, and present evidence that differences in maternal contribution to the blastoderm transcript pool may be due to species-specific divergence of transcript degradation rates We sequenced mRNA from D. melanogaser, D. yakuba, D. pseudoobscura and D. virilis single unfertilized eggs (1 to 2 per species) and from both single female and male embryos (3 per sex per species).

Project description:Purpose: The current study tests the hypothesis that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor Î² (PPARÎ²) has a role in liver regeneration due to its effect in regulating energy homeostasis and cell proliferation. Methods: Wild-type (WT) and PPARÎ²-null mice (KO) male mice (3-5 month, C57BL/6) were kept in steel microisolator cages at 22Â°C with a 14-hr/10-hr light/dark cycle. Food and water were provided ad libitum throughout the entire feeding period. Standard PH was performed. All the animal experiments were conducted in accordance with the National Institutes of Health Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals under protocols approved by the University of California Davis Animal Care and Use Committee.Mouse liver RNA was prepared using TRIzol (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). RNA concentration and integrity were determined by the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer using a RNA Nano Bioanalysis Chip. RNA-sequencing library preparation and sequencing was carried out by the Genome Sequencing Facility at University of Kansas Medical Center (Kansas City, KS). cDNA libraries were prepared with 2 Âµg of total RNA using the TruSeq RNA Sample Preparation Kit (Illumina). The libraries were clustered and sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 instrument with 100 bp paired end reads. Results: Differential gene expression profiling revealed the inhibition of expression in genes and pathways that are involved in metabolism and proliferation in regenerating KO livers. Specifically, PPARÎ² deficiency affected the activation of Akt and the expression of E2fs. Pathways that control glycolysis, FA synthesis as well as cell proliferation were de-regulated in regenerating PPARÎ² KO livers. Conclusions: The data suggest a role for PPARÎ² in regulating liver regeneration that is mediated at least in part through Akt and E2f-regulated pathways. mRNA profiles of 3-month old wild type (WT) and PPARbeta mice were generated by deep sequencing, one simple, using Illumina HiSeq 2000 instrument with 100 bp paired end reads
