Project description:The glucose-sensing Mondo pathway regulates expression of metabolic genes in mammals. Here, we have revealed an unexpected role of this pathway in vertebrate embryonic development. We characterized Mondo pathway function in the zebrafish and showed that knock-down of mondoa impaired the early morphogenetic movement of epiboly in zebrafish embryos. Expression of nsdhl , an enzyme of cholesterol and pregnenolone synthesis, was strongly reduced in these embryos. Loss of Nsdhl function likewise impaired epiboly and led to microtubule cytoskeleton defects in the embryo, similar to MondoA loss of function. Both epiboly and microtubule cytoskeleton defects were partially restored by pregnenolone treatment. Gene disruption of mondoa perturbed epiboly with only partial penetrance, likely due to compensatory changes in the expression of cholesterol/steroid metabolism genes. Collectively, our results show a novel role for MondoA in the regulation of early vertebrate development, connecting glucose, cholesterol and steroid hormone metabolism with early embryonic cell movements.

Project description:Evaluating the risks and benefits of using traditional medicinal plants is of utmost importance for a huge fraction of the human population, in particular in Northern Vietnam. Zebrafish are increasingly used as a simple vertebrate model for testing toxic and physiological effects of compounds, especially on development. Here, we tested 12 ethanolic extracts from popular medicinal plants collected in Northern Vietnam for their effects on zebrafish survival and development during the first 4 days after fertilization. We characterized more in detail their effects on epiboly, hatching, growth, necrosis, body curvature, angiogenesis, skeletal development and mostly increased movement behavior. Finally, we confirm the effect on epiboly caused by the Mahonia bealei extract by staining the actin filaments and show that this extract also inhibits cell migration of mouse embryo fibroblasts. In conclusion, we show that zebrafish early life stages reveal that traditional medicinal plant extracts are able to affect embryo development to various degrees, prompting caution to apply these medications to pregnant women. In addition, we show that an extract causing delay in epiboly also inhibits mammalian cell migration, suggesting that this effect may serve as a preliminary test for identifying extracts that inhibit cancer metastasis.

Project description:Gene expression was measured using microarrays in 8 hour postfertilization embryos, comparing control versus ethanol-treated (2 to 8 hours postfertilization) embryos. This experiment was performed to determine the gene expression changes that occur in response to ethanol treatment as a model of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) occurs when pregnant mothers consume alcohol, causing embryonic ethanol exposure and characteristic birth defects that include craniofacial, neural and cardiac defects. Gastrulation is a particularly sensitive developmental stage for teratogen exposure, and zebrafish is an outstanding model to study gastrulation and FASD. Epiboly (spreading blastomere cells over the yolk cell), prechordal plate migration and convergence/extension cell movements are sensitive to early ethanol exposure. Here, experiments are presented to characterize mechanisms of ethanol toxicity on epiboly and gastrulation. Epiboly mechanisms include blastomere radial intercalation cell movements and yolk cell microtubule cytoskeleton pulling the embryo to the vegetal pole. Both of these processes were disrupted by ethanol exposure. Ethanol effects on cell migration also indicated that cell adhesion was affected, which was confirmed by cell aggregation assays. E-cadherin cell adhesion molecule expression and distribution, which control epiboly and gastrulation, were not affected. Gene expression microarray analysis was used to identify potential causative factors for early development defects, and expression of the cell adhesion molecule protocadherin-18a (pcdh18a), which controls epiboly, was significantly reduced in ethanol-exposed embryos. Injecting pcdh18a synthetic mRNA in ethanol-treated embryos partially rescued epiboly cell movements, including enveloping layer cell shape changes. Together, data show that epiboly and gastrulation defects induced by ethanol are multifactorial, and include yolk cell (extraembryonic tissue) microtubule cytoskeleton disruption and blastomere adhesion defects, in part caused by reduced pcdh18a expression. Control vs. ethanol-treated zebrafish embryos that were treated from 2 to 8 hours postfertilization. Total RNA from control and ethanol-treated embryos were harvested at 8 hours postfertilization.

Project description:Microarrays have evolved from low-density cDNA or oligonucleotide arrays to high-density platforms, for several study species even covering the complete transcriptome. At the same time, transcriptomics experiments have become more complex and multifactorial in nature, requiring many microarrays to assess multiple biologically relevant hypotheses. Scientists using this technology are therefore painfully aware of the high financial cost of a typical microarray experiment. Unfortunately, this often leads to either a suboptimal experimental design in an effort to reduce the cost by using fewer microarrays, or to abandoning microarray technology altogether. In this study, we argue that for many studies high-density full genome microarrays are in fact technical overkill. By selectively reducing full genome probe sets to a lower number of probes, it is possible to significantly reduce the total cost of a microarray experiment. The study consists of four microarray analyses: a cadmium probe selection experiment, a temperature probe selection experiment, a cadmium validation experiment and a cadmium validation experiment.

Project description:Tris(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TDCIPP) is a high-production volume organophosphate flame retardant widely used within the United States. Within zebrafish, initiation of TDCIPP exposure at 0.75 h post-fertilization (hpf) results in genome-wide alterations in methylation during cleavage (2 hpf) as well as epiboly delay or arrest (at higher concentrations) during late-blastula and early-gastrula (4-6 hpf). To determine whether these TDCIPP-induced effects were associated with impacts on the transcriptome, embryos were exposed to vehicle (0.1% DMSO) or 2 μM TDCIPP from 0.75 hpf to 6 hpf, and total RNA was extracted from triplicate embryo pools per treatment and hybridized onto duplicate Affymetrix Zebrafish Gene 1.0 ST Arrays per RNA sample. Based on transcriptome-wide profiling, TDCIPP resulted in a significant impact on biological pathways involved in dorsoventral patterning and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling. Consistent with pathway-level responses, TDCIPP exposure also resulted in strongly dorsalized embryos by 24 hpf – a phenotype that mimicked the effects of dorsomorphin, a potent and selective BMP inhibitor. Moreover, the majority of dorsalized embryos were preceded by epiboly arrest at 6 hpf. Our microarray data also revealed that the expression of sizzled (szl) – a gene encoding a secreted Frizzled-related protein that limits BMP signaling – was significantly decreased by nearly 4-fold at 6 hpf. Therefore, we used a splice-blocking morpholino to test the hypothesis that knockdown of szl phenocopies TDCIPP-induced delays in epiboly progression. Interestingly, contrary to our hypothesis, injection of szl MOs did not affect epiboly progression but, similar to chordin (chd) morphants, resulted in mildly ventralized embryos by 24 hpf. Overall, our findings suggest that TDCIPP-induced epiboly delay may be independent of szl expression and function, and that TDCIPP-induced dorsalization may – similar to dorsomorphin – be due to interference with BMP signaling during early zebrafish.

Project description:Tetraodon embryos were obtained by in vitro fertilization of eggs and their development was observed through brightfield microscopy. The embryo development was divided into distinct stages using morphological features as described for normal development of other fish species like medaka (Oryzias latipes), zebrafish (Danio rerio), and fugu (Takifugu rubripes). Total RNA was extracted with Trizol (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer s protocol from eggs, whole embryo at 30% epiboly (30 epi) and whole embryo at 24 hours post fertilisation (24 hpf). The RNA samples were treated with 2U Dnase I (Qiagen) per μg RNA sample at 37°C for 10 minutes. Digested samples were then treated with 20 mg/mL proteinase K (Sigma Aldrich) at 37°C for 45 minutes. The quality and quantity of total RNA were assessed with the Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent) and no sign of degradation was detected (RIN > 9.0). Sequencing libraries were generated from total RNA samples following the Truseq RNA protocol (Illumina). Single end reads (1 x 50 nucleotides) were obtained from 3 lanes on a Hiseq1000 using SBS v3 kits (Illumina).
