Project description:Neural tube defects (NTDs) are one of the most common human birth defects, with a prevalence of approximately 1 in 1000 live births in the United States. In animal studies, deletion of p53 and hyperthermia leads to a significant increase in embryos that exhibit exencephaly. To evaluate the effects of hyperthermia on p53-deficient mouse embryos we used microarray approach to find genes modified by deletion of p53 and hyperthermia treatment in day 8.5 mouse embryos to identify genes that may be involved in the mechanisms underlining NTDs and begin to define the developmental role of p53 in the etiology of NTDs.

Project description:This data series was used for two separate studies. The initial study was aimed to idenify expression changes brought about by the Cecr2Gt45Bic mutation during neural closure. The study included two different strains, BALB/cCrl in which Cecr2GT45Bic shows a neural tube defect phenotype and FVB/N in which Cecr2Gt45Bic does not manifest neural closure defects. The second was to idenify strain specific expression differences present during neural closure of the mouse embryo between BALB/cCrl and FVB/N in order to identify candidate modifiers of the Cecr2Gt45Bic neural tube defect. Relevant abstracts are included below. The initial study ; BACKGROUND: Over 200 mouse genes are associated with neural tube defects (NTDs), including Cecr2, the bromodomain-containing subunit of the CERF chromatin remodeling complex. METHODS: Gene-trap mutation Cecr2Gt45Bic results in 74% exencephaly (equivalent of human anencephaly) on the BALB/c strain. Gene expression altered during cranial neural tube closure by the Cecr2 mutation was identified through microarray analysis of 11M-bM-^@M-^S14 somites stage Cecr2Gt45Bicembryos. RESULTS: Analysis of Affymetrix Mouse 430 2.0 chips detected 60 transcripts up-regulated and 54 transcripts down-regulated in the Cecr2Gt45Bic embryos (fold > 1.5, p < 0.05). The Cecr2 transcript was reduced only M-bM-^HM-<7- to 14-fold from normal levels, suggesting the Cecr2Gt45Bic is a hypomorphic mutation. We therefore generated a novel Cecr2 null allele (Cecr2tm1.1Hemc). Resulting mutants displayed a stronger penetrance of exencephaly than Cecr2Gt45Bic in both BALB/c and FVB/N strains, in addition to midline facial clefts and forebrain encephalocele in the FVB/N strain. The Cecr2 transcript is reduced 260-fold in the Cecr2tm1.1Hemc line. Subsequent qRT-PCR using Cecr2tm1.1Hemc mutant heads confirmed downregulation of transcription factors Alx1/Cart1,Dlx5, Eya1, and Six1. CONCLUSIONS: As both Alx1/Cart1 and Dlx5 mouse mutations result in exencephaly, we hypothesize that changes in expression of these mesenchymal/ectodermal transcription factors may contribute to NTDs associated with Cecr2. Birth Defects Research (Part A), 2010. 010 Wiley-Liss, Inc. The second study: ABSTRACT:Although neural tube defects (NTDs) are common in humans, little is known about their multifactorial genetic causes. While most mouse models involve NTDs caused by a single mutated gene, we have previously described a multigenic system involving susceptibility to NTDs. In mice with a mutation in Cecr2, the cranial NTD exencephaly shows strain specific differences in penetrance, with 74% penetrance in BALB/cCrl and 0% penetrance in FVB/N. Whole genome linkage analysis showed that a region of chromosome 19 was partially responsible for this difference in penetrance. We now reveal by genetic analysis of three subinterval congenic lines that the chromosome 19 region contains more than one modifier gene. Analysis of embryos showed that although a Cecr2 mutation causes wider neural tubes in both strains, FVB/N embryos overcome this abnormality and close. A microarray analysis comparing neurulating female embryos from both strains identified differentially expressed genes within the chromosome 19 region, including Arhgap19, which is expressed at a lower level in BALB/cCrl due to a stop codon specific to that substrain. Modifier genes in this region are of particular interest because it is syntenic to human chromosome 10q25, the site of a human susceptibility locus.

Project description:Neural tube defects (NTDs) are common birth defects in humans and show an unexplained female bias. Female mice lacking the tumor suppressor p53 display NTDs with incomplete penetrance. We found that the combined loss of pro-apoptotic BIM and p53 caused 100% penetrant, female-exclusive NTDs, which allowed us to investigate the female-specific functions of p53. We report that female p53–/– neural tube samples show fewer cells with inactive X markers Xist and H3K27me3, and a concomitant increase in biallelic expression of the X-linked genes, Huwe1 and Usp9x. The depletion of Xist and increase X-linked gene expression was confirmed by RNA sequencing.

Project description:Morphogenesis of the mammalian neural tube (NT) is reliant on precise, spatio-temporal expression of numerous genes and coordinated interaction of signal transduction and gene regulatory networks, disruption of which may contribute to the etiology of neural tube defects (NTDs). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) as well as their downstream messenger RNA (mRNA) targets are key modulators of cell and tissue differentiation. To define potential roles of miRNAs and mRNAs in development of the murine neural tube (NT), total RNA preparations from gestation day (GD)-8.5, -9.0 and -9.5 (crtitcal period of NT developemnt) mouse embryos were used to hybridize both microRNA arrays and messenger RNA arrays, to identify miRNAs and mRNAs co-expressed in the same developing NT tissue samples.

Project description:In order to more thoroughly investigate the mechanism of arsenate-induced NTDs we designed experiment in which highly sensitive Folr2 nullizygous mice were treated i.p. with teratogenic dose of sodium arsenate just at the beginning of the neural tube formation process. This specific knockout mouse and arsenic exposure conditions were chosen as they warranted high incidence of exencephaly in exposed embryos. We investigated the gene expression changes induced by arsenic in the anterior part of neural tube in order to discover patterns that might shed light on the mechanism of arsenic’s teratogenicity.

Project description:Embryonic development is tightly regulated by transcription factors and chromatin-associated proteins. H3K4me3 is associated with active transcription and H3K27me3 with gene repression, while the combination of both keeps genes required for development in a plastic state. Here we show that deletion of the H3K4me2/3 histone demethylase Jarid1b (Kdm5b/Plu1) results in major neonatal lethality due to respiratory failure. Jarid1b knockout embryos have several neural defects including disorganized cranial nerves, defects in eye development and increased incidences of exencephaly. Moreover, in line with an overlap of Jarid1b and Polycomb targets genes, Jarid1b knockout embryos display homeotic skeletal transformations typical for Polycomb mutants. Genome-wide analysis demonstrated that normally inactive genes encoding developmental regulators acquire aberrant H3K4me3 in early Jarid1b knockout embryos. H3K4me3 accumulates as embryonic development proceeds, leading to increased expression of neural master regulators in knockouts. Taken together, these results suggest that Jarid1b contributes to mouse development by protecting developmental genes from inappropriate acquisition of active histone modifications. * Lack of Jarid1b leads to major neonatal lethality and defects in neural systems * Jarid1b mutants display homeotic skeletal transformations * H3K4me3 is increased at inactive transcriptional regulators in Jarid1b-/- embryos * Chromatin changes are accompanied by elevated levels of key neural transcription factors Determining H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 in early (E8.5) mouse embryos

Project description:Exposure to ionizing radiation around the time of neural tube closure results in a number of developmental defects, including neural tube defects (e.g. exencephaly, cleft palate) and eye defects (e.g. microphtalmos, anaphtalmos). These defects result from perturbed neural tube closure and development of the presumptive eye. In order to better understand the underlying molecular mechanisms, gene expression profiling was performed in heads of mouse embryos at embryonic day 9, after they had been irradiated at embryonic day 7.5 with 1 Gy of X-rays. Non-irradiated mice served as controls for differential gene expression.
