Project description:Somites are transient embryonic structures consisting of hundreds of cells that bud off from the anterior tip of the presomitic mesoderm on each side of the neural tube. They give rise to the vertebrae and associated skeletal muscles, nerves, and blood vessels. To characterise the transcriptional changes that orchestrate mouse somitogenesis, we have generated coupled RNA-seq and ATAC-seq profiles of individual somites, across embryonic development. We collected the three most posterior pairs of somites, which correspond to those most recently segmented, from embryos containing 8, 18, 21, 25, 27 and 35 pairs of somites. The three somites are labelled I, II and III from the most posterior to the most anterior. From each pair, one somite was used for RNA-seq and the other one for ATAC-seq.

Project description:Decrease in Cdx dosage in an allelic series of mouse Cdx mutants leads to progressively more severe posterior vertebral defects. These defects are corrected by posterior gain of function of the Wnt effector Lef1. Precocious expression of Hox paralogous 13 genes also induces vertebral axis truncation by antagonizing Cdx function. We report here that the phenotypic similarity also applies to patterning of the caudal neural tube and uro-rectal tracts in Cdx and Wnt3a mutants, and in embryos precociously expressing Hox13 genes. Cdx2 inactivation after placentation leads to posterior defects including incomplete uro-rectal septation. Compound mutants carrying one active Cdx2 allele in the Cdx4 null background (Cdx2/4), transgenic embryos precociously expressing Hox13 genes, and a novel Wnt3a hypomorph mutant all manifest a comparable phenotype with similar urorectal defects. Phenotype and transcriptome analysis in early Cdx mutants, genetic rescue experiments and gene expression studies lead us to propose that Cdx transcription factors act via Wnt signalling during the laying down of urorectal mesoderm, and that they are operative in an early phase of these events, at the site of tissue progenitors in the posterior growth zone of the embryo. Cdx and Wnt mutations and premature Hox13 expression also cause similar neural dysmorphology including ectopic neural structures sometimes leading to neural tube splitting at caudal axial levels. These findings involve the Cdx genes, canonical Wnt signalling, and the temporal control of posterior Hox gene expression in posterior morphogenesis in the different embryonic germ layers. They shed a new light on the etiology of the Caudal Dysplasia or Caudal Regression range of human congenital defects. We used dissected Cdx2 null mutant versus wild type embryos at the 4/5 somite and 7/8 somite stage. RNA was isolated from the posterior part of the embryos (20 embryos of each genotype and stage), dissected at the same axial levels by using the last somite boundary and the base of the allantois as landmarks. Differentially labelled cRNA from the Cdx2 and control embryos were hybridized on 4X44K Agilent Whole Mouse Genome dual colour Microarrays (G4122F) in two dye swap experiments and two technical replicates, resulting in eight individual arrays.

Project description:Within a given vertebrate species, the total number of vertebrae in each anatomical domain is precisely defined and shows little variation among individuals. In contrast, this number can vary tremendously between different species, ranging from as few as six vertebrae in frogs to as many as several hundred in some snakes and fish. Segmental precursors of the vertebrae, called somites are produced sequentially in the embryo from the presomitic mesoderm (PSM), until a final number characteristic of the species, is reached. Here, we show in the chicken embryo that, by controlling the rate of axis elongation, Hox genes control the total number of somites generated by the embryo. We observed that activation of the most posterior Hox genes in somite precursors of the tail bud correlates with an abrupt slowing-down of the speed of axis elongation. We show that progressively more posterior Hox genes, which are collinearly activated in somitic precursors of the epiblast, repress Wnt activity with increasing strength. This leads to a graded repression of the Brachyury/T transcription factor, reducing mesoderm ingression and slowing down the elongation process. Due to the continuation of somite formation, the PSM, which is not fed with sufficient supply of new cells posteriorly, becomes progressively exhausted, ultimately leading to an arrest of segment formation. Our data provide a conceptual framework to explain how the cross-talk between the segmentation clock and the Hox clock accounts for the diversity of vertebral formulae across animal species. Primitive streak aera corresponding to PSM precursors were dissected in Stage 9 somites chicken embryo overexpressing HoxA13 or a control H2B-Venus. The experiment was designed to have biological duplicate in each conditions. The gain-of-function was obtained by electroporating the embryo at Stage 5HH with a vector containing HoxA13 under the CAGGS promoter with an H2B venus reporter. In order to have enough material for the microarray, 7 embryos were pooled in each sample before the hybridization.

Project description:Gastrulation represents a pivotal point in mammalian development, when the basic body plan is established and cells are specified into one of the three germ layers. This is followed by rapid diversification into specific lineages and the appearance of the various cell types required to build each of the organs. The rich variety of cell types present at this stage has never been rigorously characterised in any mammalian organism, and thus insight into cell fate decisions and the underlying regulatory networks have been inaccessible. We have used droplet based single-cell RNA-sequencing to address this by profiling ~20000 cells from C57BL/6 E8.25 mouse embryos.

Project description:The zebrafish u-boot (ubo) gene encodes the transcription factor Prdm1, which is essential for the specification of the primary slow twitch muscle fibres that derive from adaxial cells. Here we show that Prdm1 executes this function by acting as a transcriptional repressor. Expression of the slow twitch isoform of the myosin heavy chain in adaxial cells is achieved by Prdm1 mediated repression of the transcriptional repressor Sox6. Using Chromatin immuno precipitation (ChIP) we found that genes encoding fast specific isoforms of sarcomeric proteins are direct targets of Prdm1. These genes are ectopically expressed in the adaxial cells of ubotp39 mutant embryos, suggesting that Prdm1 promotes slow twitch fibre differentiation by acting both as a global repressor of fast fibre specific genes as well as of a repressor of slow specific genes. Keywords: ChIP-chip Genomic array design. Microarrays were designed as described below and manufactured by Agilent Technologies (www.agilent.com). We have previously described the ChIP-chip technique in zebrafish and the design of promoter microarrays which cover a 2kb region around the transcription start sites (TSSs) of 11,512 zebrafish genes based on Zv4 (Wardle et al, 2006. Genome Biology 7:R71). In order to capture additional regulatory information further from the basal promoter region we also designed an expanded set of 60mer probes that cover 9kb upstream and 3kb downstream of the TSS of these genes using the same parameters as for the 2kb microarrays. These probe sequences were re-mapped to Zv6 over the course of the project and the coordinates given are for Zv6. We also incorporated several sets of control probes, both positive and negative. On each array there are 769 negative probes designed against zebrafish gene desert regions and Arabidopsis thaliana genes. In addition we included duplicates of promoter probes for several genes that we anticipated may be bound by factors of interest for this and other studies (tnnt3a, mylz2, myhz2, wnt11, flh, vent, msgn1, myod, fgf8, pcdh8) and these probes are arrayed on both slides slide. Finally on each array there are 1804 controls added by Agilent. The final design contained 352,490 probes divided between two microarray slides. Further information on design and manufacture of the microarrays can be found at the Agilent Technologies website.

Project description:Dynamic gene expression in the PSM of vertebrates is critical for the spatial and temporal patterning of somites. Using microarray analysis, we explored in detail, genes that are differentially regulated upon removal of CREB family function from the mouse PSM. Mouse PSM from R26R^AC/AC (Control) and R26R^AC/AC;T-Cre (Mutant) were harvested for RNA extraction. Nine PSM's from control and mutant genotypes were combined to generate three biological replicates (three PSM's/replicate). Samples were then applied to microarray analysis to identify differentially expressed genes between controls and mutants.
