Genome-wide Identification of genes that transcriptionally respond to altered states of Hedgehog signaling in embryos of the spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum

ABSTRACT: Hedgehog signaling plays pivotal roles in formation of the embryonic anterior-posterior axis in the spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum. In this work, using the combination of RNA-sequencing and parental RNA interference (pRNAi), we genome-widely identified genes that transcriptionally responded to altered states of Hedgehog signaling in spider embryos, which were caused by Pt-hedgehog (Pt-hh) pRNAi and Pt-patched (Pt-ptc) pRNAi. The identified genes were classified into four classes (Classes I to IV) based on the positive/negative responses to the Pt-hh pRNAi and Pt-ptc pRNAi states. The Class II genes were negatively regulated by Hh signaling (positive response to Pt-hh pRNAi and negative response to Pt-ptc pRNAi). Among the Class II genes, we identified Pt-msx1 as a key segmentation gene in the spider embryo. Moreover, we conducted a transcriptomic analysis of Pt-msx1 pRNAi embryos and identified additional genes whose expression showed patterns associated with segmentation.

Identification of genes whose expression is affected by ptc + dpp double RNAi in spider embryos

Project description:In the spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum, Hedgehog (Hh) and Decapentaplegic (Dpp) signaling play key roles in the formation of the two major embryonic axes (Akiyama-Oda and Oda, 2010, Development 137, 1263-1273; Akiyama-Oda and Oda, 2006, Development 133, 2347-2357). Patched (Ptc), a receptor for Hh,functions as a negative regulator of Hh signaling. Double parental RNA interference (pRNAi) against spider homologs of ptc and dpp, Pt-ptc and Pt-dpp, respectively, results in severe defects in axis formation. In this microarray experiment, we attempted to identify candidate genes whose expressions are regulated by Hh and Dpp signaling during axis formation.

Identification of genes whose expressions are affected by hedgehog RNAi in spider embryos

Project description:In the spider Achaearanea tepidariorum, Hedgehog (Hh) signaling plays a key role in the formation of the two major embryonic axes. Analyses of expression patterns of the spider hh homolog, At-hh, suggested that Hh signaling might be involved in the subsequent segmentation process also. In this microarray experiment, we attempted to identify candidate genes whose expressions are regulated by Hh signaling during early phases of spider segmentation. The objective of this experiment was a screen for genes whose expressions might be affected by parental RNA interference (pRNAi) against At-hh in spider embryos. Oligonucleotide probes were designed based on accumulated A. tepidariorum EST sequences and embedded in custom microarrays (12K x2). Total RNA was extracted from late stage 5 embryos derived from a mated female before and after injection of dsRNA targeted for At-hh. Gene expression levels were compared between the untreated (normal) and the At-hh pRNAi-treated samples. Probes for At-hh and a homolog of Drosophila orthodenticle, At-otd, served as positive controls to validate this experiment.

Regulation of chromatin accessibility in early embryos of the common house spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum

Project description:We identified a lineage-specific GATA-like gene named fuchi nashi (fuchi) as a gene required for establishing a germ disc in the early embryo of the common house spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum. To investigate possible involvement of the early fuchi activity in regulation of chromatin accessibility, we used an assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with high-throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq). Whole embryos at stage 3 that were untreated (wild-type) or treated for fuchi or hedgehog (hh) parental RNAi (pRNAi), as well as wild-type whole embryos at stages 1 and 2, were analyzed by ATAC-seq. We found that chromatin accesibilities were specifically altered by fuchi pRNAi at many regions of the genome, whereas chromatin accessibilities were little affected by Pt-hh pRNAi, which served as negative control.

Genome-wide expression profiling in Drosophila wing imaginal discs

Project description:The imaginal discs of Drosophila melanogaster, where most known Hedgehog (Hh) signaling target genes are expressed with a restricted pattern, offers an accessible model system for identifying novel targets of the Hh signaling pathway. In the wing discs, cells near the A/P compartment boundary (B: ptc+) receive the highest level of Hh stimulation, A cells (A: hh-) further from the border receive lower levels of stimulation, while P cells (P: hh+) do not respond to Hh. To identify target genes whose expression is controlled by Hh signaling activity, we performed a systematic comparison of gene expression profiles among the A cells (A: hh-), the A cells adjacent to the A/P compartment boundary (B: ptc+), and P cells (P: hh+) via microarray analysis.

Identification of genetic targets of Hh signaling in Drosophila

Project description:Paracrine Hedgehog (Hh) signaling regulates growth and patterning in many Drosophila organs. We mapped chromatin binding sites for Cubitus interruptus (Ci), the transcription factor that mediates outputs of Hh signal transduction, and we analyzed transcription profiles of control and mutant embryos to identify genes that are regulated by Hh. Putative targets we identified include several Hh pathway components, most previously identified targets, and many targets that are novel. Analysis of expression patterns of pathway components and target genes gave evidence of autocrine Hh signaling in the optic primordium of the embryo. And, every Hh target we analyzed that is not a pathway component appeared to be regulated by Hh in a tissue-specific manner. We present evidence that Hh-dependent tissue specificity is dependent upon transcription factors that are Hh-independent, suggesting that “pre-patterns” of transcription factors partner with Ci to make Hh-dependent gene expression position-specific. Analysis of the expression profiles of loss of function mutantations in core components of the Hh signaling pathway. A total of 14 samples were analysed consisting of comparisons of hh-, ci-, smo-, ptc-, and Cim1-m4 (Activator) mis-expression embryos compared to wt sibling embryos.

Gene expression profiling of planarian heads or cephalic ganglia after inhibition of Hedgehog signaling pathway genes by RNAi

Project description:Hedgehog signaling is critical for vertebrate central nervous system (CNS) development, but its role in CNS biology in other organisms is poorly characterized. In the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea, hedgehog (hh) is expressed in medial cephalic ganglia neurons, suggesting a possible role in CNS maintenance or regeneration. We performed RNA sequencing of planarian brain tissue following RNAi of hh and the gene encoding its receptor, patched (ptc). We identified two misregulated genes, intermediate filament-1 (if-1) and calamari (cali), that are expressed in a previously unidentified non-neural CNS cell type. These cells expressed orthologs of astrocyte-associated genes involved in neurotransmitter uptake and metabolism, and extended processes enveloping regions of high synapse concentration. We conclude these are glia-like cells (GLCs). Planarian GLCs exist in two compartments with gene expression programs distinguished by Hh signaling. Planarian GLCs and their regulation by Hedgehog signaling present a novel tractable system for dissection of glia biology.

Targeted protein degradation reveals BET bromodomains as the cellular target of Hedgehog Pathway Inhibitor-1

Project description:Target deconvolution of small molecule hits from phenotypic screens presents a major challenge. Illustrative of these are the many screens that have been conducted to find inhibitors for the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway – a major developmental pathway with many implications in health and disease - with many hits but very few identified cellular targets. We here present a strategy for target identification based on Proteolysis-Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs), combined with label-free quantitative proteomics. We developed a PROTAC based on the downstream Hedgehog Pathway Inhibitor-1 (HPI-1), a phenotypic screen hit with unknown cellular target. Using our Hedgehog Pathway PROTAC (HPP) we identified and validated BET bromodomains to be the cellular targets of HPI-1. Furthermore, we found that HPP-9 has a unique mechanism of action as a long-acting Hh pathway inhibitor through prolonged BET bromodomain degradation. Collectively, we provide a powerful PROTAC-based approach for target deconvolution, that has answered the longstanding question of the cellular target of HPI-1 and yielded the first PROTAC that acts on the Hh pathway.

Gene expression profiles of murine granule neuron precursors and medulloblastoma

Project description:Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signals via Gli transcription factors to stimulate proliferation of granule neuron precursor cells (GNPs) in the cerebellum. Deregulation of Shh target genes often results in unrestrained GNP proliferation and eventually medulloblastoma (MB), the most common pediatric brain malignancy. Gene expression profiling was coupled with transcription factor binding location analysis to determine the Gli1-controlled transcriptional regulatory networks in GNPs and medulloblastoma cells. We detected significant overlap, as well as differences, in the Gli1-controlled transcriptional regulatory networks in GNPs and MBs. We determined the presence of gene expression in each dataset. There were 9260 genes expressed in Gli1-FLAG GNPs and 9185 genes expressed in Gli1-FLAG;Ptc+/- tumors; 8691 of which are in common. The large overlap is consistent with the cellular origin of these tumors. When the genes detectably expressed were intersected with our binding data, there were only 132 putative Gli1 target genes shared by both cell populations. Due to the heightened activation of the Hh pathway in tumors relative to GNPs, we further deduced direct Gli1 target genes exclusive to tumors by determining significantly induced genes in tumors versus in Ptc+/- GNPs. We identified at least 116 tumor-specific Gli1 target genes. These data suggest that tumor formation is accompanied by a tremendous change in the battery of Gli target genes. Presence of gene expression was determined for all samples: Gli1-FLAG-expressing GNPs, Ptc+/- GNPs, and Gli1-FLAG;Ptc+/-medulloblastomas. These datasets were intersected with chIP-chip data to determine potential direct Gli1 target genes. Differential gene expression was determined by comparing expression profiles from medulloblastoma tumors to those from Ptc+/- GNPs.
