Transcriptional profiling of pax2a-Low and pax2a-High thyroid follicular cells in zebrafish
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Thyroid follicular cells (TFCs) are responsible for generation, storage and release of thyroid hormone. Single-cell analysis of zebrafish thyroid gland demonstrated transcriptional heterogeneity within the TFC population (Gillotay et al., bioRxiv, 2020. doi: 10.1101/2020.01.13.891630. GEO dataset for single-cell RNA-Seq.: GSE133466). Particularly, TFC displayed transcriptional heterogeneity in the expression of pax2a, a transcription factor involved in differentiation and maturation of TFCs. To validate the genetic heterogeneity, we generated a pax2a knock-in line, in which mKO2 expression is driven by endogenous pax2a locus. Using Tg(tg:nls-EGFP); pax2a:mKO2-Knock-in, we sorted for TFCs (GFP+) and separated the pax2a-Low (mKO2-Low) and pax2a-High (mKO2-High) populations for NGS.
