RNA-seq transcriptomic analysis of mouse sympathetic neuroblasts and adrenal chromaffin cells

ABSTRACT: Adrenal chromaffin cells and sympathetic neuron are derived from neural crest precursors and both cell types can give rise to childhood cancer, neuroblastoma. However only limited is known about the mechanism of their development. Better understanding of their transcriptomic profiles during development could gives an insight into the cell fates acquisition as well as the origin of neuroblastoma. Yellow fluorescent protein expressing sympathetic neuroblasts and adrenal chromaffin cells were isolated from E12.5 TH-IRES-Cre;ROSA26-EYFP mouse embryos by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Transcriptomic profiles of sympathetic neuroblasts and adrenal chromaffin cells from embryonic age (E)12.5 TH-IRES-Cre;ROSA26-EYFP mice were generated by RNA sequencing, in four paired biological replicates.

Project description:MiRNAs have the potential to regulate cellular differentiation programs. However, miRNA-deficiency in primary hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) results in HSC depletion in mice, leaving the question of whether miRNAs play a role in early-lineage decisions unanswered. To address this issue, we deleted Dicer1, which encodes an essential RNaseIII enzyme for miRNA biogenesis, in murine CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha (C/EBPA)-positive myeloid-committed progenitors in vivo. In contrast to the results in HSCs, we found that miRNA depletion affected neither the number of myeloid progenitors nor the percentage of C/EBPA-positive progenitor cells. Analysis of gene-expression profiles from wild type and Dicer1-deficient granulocyte-macrophage progenitors (GMPs) revealed that 20 miRNA families were active in GMPs. Of the derepressed miRNA targets in Dicer1-null GMPs, 27% are normally exclusively expressed in HSCs or are specific for multi-potent progenitors and erythropoiesis, indicating an altered gene-expression landscape. Dicer1-deficient GMPs were defective in myeloid development in vitro and exhibited an increased replating capacity, indicating a regained self-renewal potential of these cells. In mice, Dicer1 deletion blocked monocytic differentiation, depleted macrophages and caused myeloid dysplasia with morphological features of Pelger-Huët anomaly. These results provide evidence for a miRNA-controlled switch for a cellular program of self-renewal and expansion towards myeloid differentiation in GMPs. To generate Cebpa-Cre;R26-LSL-Eyfp;Dicer1wt/fl/Dicer1fl/fl mice, we crossed mice that contain floxed Dicer1 alleles (Dicer1fl) with Cebpa-Cre;R26-LSL-Eyfp reporter mice 2. Fetal livers were obtained on embryonic day (E) 13.5. Routine genotyping of Dicer1; Cebpa-Cre;R26-LSL-Eyfp mice was performed by PCR assays of DNA from tail or toe biopsies. For transplantation, 6 to 8-week-old recipient mice (C57Bl/6, Jackson Laboratories) were irradiated (8.5 Gy) and tail-vein injected with fetal liver single-cell suspensions. Typically, cells from each fetal liver were transplanted into two recipient mice. Hematopoietic tissues were analyzed 6-10 weeks post transplantation. EYFP positive GMPs from the bone marrow of Dicer wt control (n=3), Dicer -/wt (n=3 and Dicer fl/fl (n=3) were sorted and analyzed for gene expression profiles.
