Identification of Embryonic Pancreatic Genes using Xenopus DNA Microarrays

ABSTRACT: The pancreas is an exocrine and endocrine endodermal organ involved in digestion and glucose homeostasis. During embryogenesis, the anlagen of the pancreas arise from dorsal and ventral evaginations of the foregut that later fuse to form a single organ. In order to better understand the molecular genetics of early pancreas development, we sought to isolate markers that are uniquely expressed in this tissue. Microarray analysis was performed comparing dissected pancreatic buds, liver buds, and the stomach region of tadpole stage Xenopus embryos. A total of 912 genes were found to be differentially expressed between these organs during early stages of organogenesis. K-means clustering analysis predicted 120 of these genes to be specifically enriched in the pancreas. Of these, we report on the novel expression patterns of 24 genes. Among them, STXBP6 and KIRREL2 were expressed by the early tailbud stage, suggesting the possible involvement of novel signaling pathways in early pancreas development.

Transcription profiling of Xenopus Dorsal Ventral Pancreatic Bud Comparison

Project description:During embryogenesis, the pancreas develops from separate dorsal and ventral buds, which fuse to form the mature pancreas. Little is known about the functional differences between these two buds or the relative contribution of cells derived from each portion to the pancreas after fusion. To follow the fate of dorsal or ventral bud derived cells in the pancreas after fusion, we produced chimeric Elas-GFP transgenic/wild type embryos in which either dorsal or ventral pancreatic bud cells expressed GFP. We found that ventral pancreatic cells migrate extensively into the dorsal pancreas after fusion, whereas the converse does not occur. Moreover, we found that annular pancreatic tissue is composed exclusively of ventral pancreas derived cells. To identify ventral pancreas specific genes that may play a role in pancreatic bud fusion, we isolated individual dorsal and ventral pancreatic buds, prior to fusion, from stage 38/39 Xenopus laevis tadpoles and compared their gene expression profiles. Morpholino-mediated knockdown of one of these ventral specific genes, transmembrane 4 superfamily member 3 (tm4sf3), inhibited dorsal-ventral pancreatic bud fusion as well as acinar cell differentiation. Conversely, overexpression of tm4sf3 promoted the development of annular pancreas. Our results are the first to define molecular and behavioral differences between the dorsal and ventral pancreas, and suggest an unexpected role for the ventral pancreas in pancreatic bud fusion. Experiment Overall Design: We analyzed two samples of dorsal and two samples of ventral pancreatic buds.

Vascularized And Complex Organ Buds From Diverse Tissues Via Mesenchymal Cell-Driven Condensation

Project description:Here, we demonstrate a generalized method for organ bud formation from diverse tissues by combining pluripotent stem cell-derived tissue-specific progenitors or relevant tissue samples with endothelial cells and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The MSCs initiated condensation within these heterotypic cell mixtures, which was dependent upon substrate matrix stiffness. Defining optimal mechanical properties promoted formation of 3D, transplantable organ buds from tissues including kidney, pancreas, intestine, heart, lung, and brain. Transplanted pancreatic and renal buds were rapidly vascularized and self-organized into functional, tissue-specific structures. These findings provide a general platform for harnessing mechanical properties to generate vascularized, complex organ buds with broad applications for regenerative medicine.

Blood vessels restrain pancreas branching, differentiation and growth

Project description:How organ size and form are controlled during development is a major question of biology. Blood vessels have been shown to be essential for early development of the liver and pancreas, and are fundamental to normal and pathological tissue growth. Here we report that non-nutritional signals from blood vessels surprisingly act to restrain pancreas growth. Elimination of endothelial cells increases the size of embryonic pancreatic buds. Conversely, VEGF-induced hypervascularization decreases pancreas size. The growth phenotype results from vascular restriction of pancreatic tip cell formation, lateral branching and differentiation of the pancreatic epithelium into endocrine and acinar cells. The effects are seen both in vivo and ex vivo, indicating a perfusion-independent mechanism. Thus the vasculature controls pancreas morphogenesis and growth by reducing branching and differentiation of primitive epithelial cells. For transcriptome analysis, RNA was isolated using QIAGEN RNeasy micro Kit from pancreatic buds of Pdx1-tTA (n=3) and littermate Pdx1-tTA; TET-VEGF (n=3) e12.5 embryos, or from e12.5 wild type pancreatic buds explanted and treated with VEGFR2i (n=5) or vehicle (n=5) for 2 days. Pooled samples were hybridized to Affymetrix mouse gene 1.0 st arrays. The arrays were RMA normalized using Partek Genomic Suite 6.5. Differentially regulated genes were selected based on p-values and ratios using t-test.

Differential gene expression among three sex types reveals a MALE STERILITY 1 (CpMS1) for sex differentiation in papaya

Project description:The aim of this study was to identify differentially expressed genes among male, female and hermaphrodite flowers in papaya during early (pre-meiosis) and later (post-meiosis) stages of flower development. We identified a Male Sterility 1 gene (CpMS1) highly up-regulated in male and hermaphrodite flower buds compared to female flower buds. Besides important transcription factors related to flower organ development and flowering time regulation, we identified differential expression of genes that are known to participate in ABA, ROS and auxin signaling pathways.

Thyroid hormone induced changes in Xenopus laevis tadpole limb bud

Project description:Premetamorphic Xenopus laevis tadpoles limb bud cells respond to thyroid hormone by proliferation and subsequent differentiation. The goal of this experiment is to identify the genes involved in the TH-induced proliferation pathway in developing tadpole limb bud and compare it to TH-induced proliferation and differentiation program in tadpole brain. Xenopus tadpoles (NF54) were treated with 1 mM methimazole in 0.1 X MMR solution for 1 week to block the endogenous TH production and reduce the TH present in the system of the tadpole. They were then treated with 100 nM T3 in 1 mM methimazole and 0.1 x MMR for another 24h and 48h or without T3 for 48h (control group). Limb buds were dissected at the end of the experiment.

Thyroid Hormone (TH) Controls The Remodeling Of The Pancreas And The Liver, Part A

Project description:Thyroid hormone (TH) controls the remodeling of the pancreas and the liver. TH-induces dedifferentiation of the exocrine pancreas to a progenitor state (Proc. Nat. Acad Sci. 105, 8962-8967 (2008)) and it remodels the endocrine pancreas (Dev. Biol. 328, 384-391 (2009)). The redifferentiated frog pancreas resembles closely the pancreas of other typical vertebrates. Two pancreas arrays were carried out. The first one studied gene expression changes at different developmental stages of Xenopus laevis during metamorphosis. The second array studies gene expression changes at varying times after the addition of TH to premetamorphic tadpoles. Keywords: cell cycle design,co-expression design,reference design,time series design Thyroid hormone (TH) controls remodeling of the pancreas. The micro array was carried out to identify changes in gene expression between the tadpole and frog pancreas. This is part 1, done on the 44K Xenopus platform. This dataset was used only for one pancreas experiment with several data points (control, 12h, 24h, 48h and frog). Each was made in triplicate. Samples in all 3 parts of the study received the same thyroid hormone levels.
