Project description:We collected over 8000 mouse embryos of each developmental stage (zygote, 2-cell, 4-cell, 8-cell, morula, blastocyst) and performed tandem mass tag (TMT)-based quantitative mass spectrometry and identified nearly 5000 proteins for each stage. In-depth analysis indicates that protein expression profiles of zygote, morula and blastocyst show apparent difference from 2- to 8-cell embryos due to the maternal-totipotent-differentiation transition. We further identified novel factors and proved that they play important roles in determining pre-implantation embryo development

Project description:Kidney injury is a common complication of severe disease. Here, we report that injuries of the zebrafish embryonal kidney are rapidly repaired by a migratory response in 2-, but not in 1-day-old embryos. Gene expression profiles between these two developmental stages identify cxcl12a and myca as candidates involved in the repair process. Zebrafish embryos with cxcl12a, cxcr4b, or myca deficiency display repair abnormalities, confirming their role in response to injury. In mice with a kidney-specific knockout, Cxcl12 and Myc gene deletions suppress mitochondrial metabolism and glycolysis, and delay the recovery after ischemia/reperfusion injury. Probing these observations in zebrafish reveal that inhibition of glycolysis slows fast migrating cells and delays the repair after injury, but does not affect the slow cell movements during kidney development. Our findings demonstrate that Cxcl12 and Myc facilitate glycolysis to promote fast migratory responses during development and repair, and potentially also during tumor invasion and metastasis.

Project description:Therapeutic and diagnostic illumination on internal organs and tissues with high controllability and adaptability in terms of spectrum, area, depth, and intensity remains a major challenge. Here, we present a flexible, biodegradable photonic device iCarP featured with a micrometer scale air gap constructed between a refractive polyester patch and the embedded removable tapered optical fiber (TOF). ICarP combines the advantages of light diffraction by TOF, dual refractions on TOF/air and air/patch interfaces of the air gap, and reflection inside the patch to obtain a “bulb-like” illumination, guiding the light towards the target tissue. Large area, high intensity, wide spectrum, continuous/pulsatile, deeply penetrating illumination was achieved without puncturing the target tissues. ICarP supported phototherapies with different photosensitizers and achieved higher efficacy compared to optical fibers with clinically relevant optical fiber structures, attributed to the light scattering effect. The robust photonic device is compatible with thoracoscopy-based minimally invasive implantation and exhibited consistent performance on mechanically dynamic animal hearts in a demonstrative application of in situ photosynthesis for myocardial infarction treatment. The iCarP phototherapy improved survival of cardiac cells and preserved cardiac functions. These initial results showed that iCarP could be a safe, precise and widely applicable device suitable for internal organs/tissues illumination and associated therapy and diagnosis.

Project description:Differential gene expression in preimplantation embryos has been documented, but few focused studies have been done to compare differential expression in human embryos after embryonic genome activation and specifically how they relate to blastocyst development. We hypothesized that blastocyst stage embryos would differentially express genes in pathways important in cell division, mobilization, and processes important in embryo implantation including endometrial apposition, adhesion, and invasion. We analyzed gene expression in 6 preimplantation human embryos. Embryos studied were previously cryopreserved, supernumerary human embryos donated by couples who completed their family building through in vitro fertilization and had given specific consent for use in research. Embryos cryopreserved at the pronuclear stage were thawed and cultured to cleavage (Day 3) or blastocyst (Day 5) stage. Differential gene expression was first obtained through Affymetrix gene expression microarrays and then validated both in silico using the Gene Expression Omnibus and in vitro with RT-qPCR. Compared to cleavage stage embryos, blastocyst stage embryos differentially expressed 51 genes (p < 0.001), with overrepresentation in amoebiasis pathways and pathways in cancer.

Project description:Changes in gene expression induced by the Cryotop vitrification procedure in bovine blastocysts using Agilent EmbryoGENE microarray slides. Bovine in vitro-produced embryos at the blastocyst stage (144 to 156 hours post insemination) were vitrified using the Cryotop system and compared with non-vitrified (control) embryos. After vitrification, the embryos were warmed and cultured for an additional 4 hours. Embryos that re-expanded or developed to the expanded blastocyst stage were used for microarray analysis.

Project description:Study question: What is the relative effect of common environmental and biological factors on transcriptome changes during human preimplantation development? Summary answer: Developmental stage and maternal age had a larger effect on the global gene expression profile of human preimplantation embryos than the culture medium or oxygen concentration used in in vitro culture. What is known already: Studies on mouse and bovine embryos have shown that different conditions in the in vitro culture of embryos can lead to changes in transcriptome profiles. For humans, an effect of developmental stage on the transcriptome profile of embryos has been demonstrated, but studies on the effect of maternal age or culture conditions are lacking. Participants/materials, setting, methods: Embryos that developed to morula or blastocyst stage during these 2 days whose amplified mRNA passed our quality control criteria for microarray hybridization were individually examined for genome-wide gene expression (N = 37). Main results and the role of chance: Based on the number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs), developmental stage (3519 DEGs) and maternal age (1258 DEGs) had a larger effect on the global gene expression profile of human preimplantation embryos than either tested culture medium (596 DEGs) or oxygen concentration (492 DEGs) used during in vitro culture. Interactions between the factors were found, indicating that culture conditions might have a different effect depending on the developmental stage or the maternal age of the embryos. Affected pathways included metabolism, cell cycle processes and oxidative phosphorylation. Limitations, reasons for caution: Culture of embryos for only 2 days might have limited the effect on global gene expression by the investigated culture conditions. Earlier stages of development (Day 0 until Day 4) were not analyzed and these embryos might respond differently to the experimental conditions. The freezing and thawing procedures might have had an effect on gene expression. RT–PCR validation was not performed due to scarcity of the material. Wider implications of the findings: Our results show that when studying gene expression in single human preimplantation embryos under various experimental conditions, one should take into account the confounding effect of biological variables, such as developmental stage and maternal age. This makes these experiments different from gene expression experiments where these variables can be tightly controlled, for example when using cell lines.

Project description:Separation of cell lineages during early mammalian development is required to establish the pluripotent founder cell population that will give rise to the embryo proper and a functional trophoblast to support its development. We systemically assessed the role of the homeobox gene Cdx2 in vivo and in vitro development with an RNAi approach. Effective elimination of both maternal and zygotic Cdx2 resulted in typical phenotypes of Cdx2-mutant embryos, such as failure of hatching and implantation. However, the blastulation and expression of TE specific markers in these Cdx2-deficient embryos excluded the possibility of Cdx2 to act as a TE determinant, although compromised structure and functioning of TE was observed and the resulted embryos were not viable. Strikingly, the efficiency of stem cell derivation was significantly higher than control when embryos were put on MEF at the 8-cell stage and the derived stem cells were fully pluripotent as shown by chimera and tetraploid complementation experiments. Comparative genomic hybridization of wild type and Cdx2 mutant at 8-cell and blastocyst mouse embryos were performed. 8-cell biological duplicates and blastocyst stage biological triplicates embryos were used.The hybridization experiments were duplicated in a reciprocal labeling manner to reduce dye integration bias (dye-swaps).

Project description:We examined expression profiles of genes that could be regulated by the MAPK pathways during mouse preimplantation development. We used Affymetrix GeneChips for microarray analysis, and three independent experiments were carried out. 8-cell stage embryos were treated or untreated with MAPK inhibitors, and blastocyst stage embryos were recruited for the study. Hybridization was carried out with the GeneChip Mouse Expression Set 430 or GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array following Affymetrix instructions. The array was then washed and stained using the GeneChip fluidics station according to the manufacture's instructions. Hybridized arrays were scanned using an Affymetrix GeneChip Scanner. Expression analysis was performed using GeneChip Operating Software 1.0 (Affymetrix) and scaled to an average probe set intensity of 500. Keywords: other

Study design, size, duration: Donated, good quality, day 4 cryopreserved human preimplantation embryos (N = 89) were randomized to be cultured in one of two culture media (G5 medium or HTF medium) and one of two oxygen concentrations (5% or 20%), with stratification for maternal age. Next to these variables, developmental stage after culture was taken into account in the analysis.

Project description:Plants grown under different illumination levels undergo a long-term acclimation response (LTR) resulting in differences in their leaf morphology and chloroplast protein composition to maximise their growth. At the proteomic level, LTR involves modulating the stoichiometry of photosynthetic complexes within the thylakoid membrane through de novo synthesis and degradation of specific proteins. The signalling pathways that mediate LTR in relation to light intensity remain largely unknown, however earlier studies demonstrated a key role for the light-harvesting complex II (LHCII) serine-threonine kinase STN7. We explored the effects of mutant strains of Arabidopsis targeting STN7 and its cognate phosphatase TAP38 in the LTR to low, moderate and high illumination, employing label-free quantitative proteomic analysis.
