MTOR activity is essential for retinal pigment epithelium regeneration in zebrafish

ABSTRACT: Zebrafish is capable of endogenously regenerating functional retina pigment epithelium (RPE) after widespread genetic ablation which involves a series of cellular and molecular events that remain to be defined. Here, using the RPE genetic ablation model in zebrafish, we observed that mTOR signaling was activated in the RPE cells post-ablation. Pharmacological and genetic inhibition of mTOR signaling impaired RPE regeneration, while activation of mTOR signaling benefited RPE recovery, suggesting mTOR signaling was required and sufficient for RPE regeneration post-ablation in zebrafish. We further identified an interesting crosstalk between mTOR signaling and microglia/macrophages during RPE regeneration that mTOR acts as an upstream regulator of microglia/macrophage infiltration to the injury site while microglia/macrophage, in turn, rainenforce mTOR activity.

THE IMMUNE RESPONSE MODULATES ZEBRAFISH RETINAL PIGMENT EPITHELIUM REGENERATION [macrophages]

Project description:Loss of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) due to dysfunction or disease can lead to blindness in humans. Harnessing the intrinsic ability of the RPE to self-repair is an attractive therapeutic strategy; however, mammalian RPE is limited in its regenerative capacity. Zebrafish possess tremendous intrinsic regenerative potential in ocular tissues, including the RPE, but little is known about the mechanisms that drive RPE regeneration. Here, utilizing zebrafish, we identified elements of the immune response as critical mediators of intrinsic RPE regeneration. Macrophages/microglia are responsive to RPE damage and are required for the timely progression of the regenerative response and our data highlight that inflammation post-RPE injury is also critical for normal RPE regeneration. These data are the first to identify the molecular and cellular underpinnings of RPE regeneration in any system and hold significant potential for translational approaches aimed towards promoting a pro-regenerative environment in mammals.

mTOR-dependent translation amplifies microglia priming in ageing

Project description:Microglia maintain homeostasis in the brain. However, with age, they become primed and respond more strongly to inflammatory stimuli. We show here that microglia from aged mice upregulated mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex 1 signaling regulating translation, as well as cytokine protein levels. Genetic ablation of mTOR signaling showed a dual, yet contrasting effect on microglia priming: it caused an NF-kB-dependent upregulation of priming genes at mRNA level; however, mice displayed reduced cytokine protein levels, diminished microglia activation and milder sickness behavior. The effect on translation was dependent on reduced phosphorylation of 4EBP1 and increased 4EBP1 expression, resulting in decreased binding of EIF4E to EIF4G. Similar changes were present in aged human microglia and in damage-associated microglia, indicating upregulation of mTOR-dependent translation is an essential step licensing microglia priming in ageing and neurodegeneration.

Pre-existent adult sox10+ cardiomyocytes contribute to myocardial regeneration in the zebrafish

Project description:During heart regeneration in the zebrafish, fibrotic tissue is replaced by newly formed cardiomyocytes derived from pre-existing ones. It is unclear whether the heart is comprised of several cardiomyocyte populations bearing different capacity to replace lost myocardium. Here, using sox10 genetic fate mapping, we identified a subset of pre-existent cardiomyocytes in the adult zebrafish heart with a distinct gene expression profile that expanded massively after cryoinjury. Genetic ablation of sox10+ cardiomyocytes severely impaired cardiac regeneration revealing that they play a crucial role for heart regeneration.

Fasting wildtype, tfeb -/- knockout, and lmna -/- knockout metabolite profiling of adult zebrafish

Project description:Inhibition of mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) activity exerts cardioprotective functions. We propose to assess the metabolite profile in zebrafish cardiomyopathy models to test the cardioprotective role of mTOR-TFEB-autophagy and mTOR-lmna- autophagy signaling in heart, liver, muscle, brain, and kidney tissue. In addition mTOR signaling among zebrafish 2 hour post feeding, 24 hour post feeding, and 48 hour post feeding will be profiled. These studes will be used as a baseline and for protocol development before we assess changes in DOX-induced cardiomyopathy.

Amino acid priming of mTOR is essential for heart regeneration

Project description:For a short period of time in mammalian neonates, the mammalian heart can regenerate via cardiomyocyte proliferation. This regenerative capacity is largely absent in adults. In other organisms, including zebrafish, damaged hearts can regenerate throughout their lifespans. Many studies have been performed to understand the mechanisms of cardiomyocyte de-differentiation and proliferation during heart regeneration however, the underlying reason why adult zebrafish and young mammalian cardiomyocytes are primed to enter cell cycle have not been identified. Here we show the primed state of a pro-regenerative cardiomyocyte is dictated by its amino acid profile and metabolic state. Adult zebrafish cardiomyocyte regeneration is a result of amino acid-primed mTOR activation. Zebrafish and neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes display elevated glutamine levels, predisposing them to amino acid-driven activation of mTORC1. Injury initiates Wnt/β-catenin signalling that instigates primed mTORC1 activation, Lin28 expression and metabolic remodeling necessary for zebrafish cardiomyocyte regeneration. These studies reveal a unique mTORC1 primed state in zebrafish and mammalian regeneration competent cardiomyocytes.

Zebrafish microglia transcriptome

Project description:Purpose: Identify zebrafish microglia transcriptome in the healthy and neurodegenerative brain. Methods: RNA sequencing was performed on FACS-sorted microglia (3x), other brain cells (3x) and activated microglia (4x). Microglia activation was induced using nitroreductase-mediated cell ablation. 10-20 million reads per sample were obtained. Reads were mapped to zebrafish genome GRC10. Results: We identified the zebrafish microglia transcriptome, which shows overlap with previously identified mouse microglia transcriptomes. Transcriptomes obtained 24h and 48h after treatment appeared highly similar. Therefore, these datasets were pooled. Additionally, we identified an acute proliferative response of microglia to induced neuronal cell death.

mTOR-neuropeptide Y signaling sensitizes nociceptors to drive neuropathic pain development

Project description:Neuropathic pain is a refractory condition that involves de novo protein synthesis in the nociceptive pathway. The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a master regulator of protein synthesis; however, mechanisms underlying its role in neuropathic pain remain elusive. Using spared nerve injury-induced neuropathic pain model, we found mTOR activation in large-diameter dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons and spinal microglia. However, selective ablation of mTOR in DRG neurons, rather than microglia, alleviated neuropathic pain. Combining transcriptomic profiling, electrophysiological recording and pharmacologic manipulations, we demonstrated that activated mTOR promoted neuropeptide Y (NPY) induction in mechanoreceptors and that NPY acted on Y2 receptors (Y2R) but not Y1R to enhance nociceptor excitability. Peripheral replenishment of NPY reversed pain alleviation upon mTOR removal, whereas Y2R antagonists prevented its function. Our findings reveal an unexpected link between mTOR and NPY in promoting nociceptor sensitization and neuropathic pain, through NPY/Y2R signaling-mediated intra-ganglionic transmission.
