Transcriptome Analysis of Ciona intestinalis to Identify Genes Preferentially Expressed in the Larval Brain

ABSTRACT: The larval brain of Ciona intestinalis has similar architecture to that of vertebrates, but is only composed of approximately 330 cells. Transgenic embryos that carried Ci-beta-tubulin(promoter)::Kaede exhibited robust Kaede expression in the larval brain. Kaede-expressing cells were isolated, and their transcriptome was compared with that of cells that did not express Kaede using an oligonucleotide-based microarray. Our analysis identified 565 candidate genes that were preferentially expressed in the larval brain, 77 of which have previously been reported to be brain-related. The 565 genes included transcription factors, such as Otx, en, Pax3/7, Prop-A, Lhx1, Six3/6, Unc4-A, FoxC, and DMRT1; and signal transduction molecules, such as FGF4/5/6, Hedgehog1, Hedgehog2, patched, Fringe1, and Dkk3. Nearly 30 of the identified genes coded for receptors for neurotransmitters, neuropeptides or hormone pepetides. In addition, 15 genes encoded neuropeptides and hormone peptides, five of which were novel. Our catalog of genes that are expressed in the Ciona larval brain provides a foundation for future studies exploring the complex gene regulatory networks that mediate chordate brain development and function.

Heatshock otd / OTX2

Project description:The homeobox genes of the orthodenticle (otd)/Otx family play conserved roles in embryogenesis of the head and brain. Gene replacement experiments show that the Drosophila otd gene and orthologous mammalian Otx genes are functionally equivalent, in that overexpression of either gene in null mutants of Drosophila or mouse can restore defects in cephalic and brain development. This suggests that otd and Otx genes can control a comparable subset of downstream target genes in either organism. Here we use quantitative transcript imaging to analyze this equivalence of Drosophila otd and human Otx gene action at a genomic level. In this study, transgenic fly strains carrying the otd coding sequence or the human Otx2 coding sequence under control of the heat inducible Hsp70 promoter were used [Leuzinger et al.: Equivalence of the fly orthodenticle gene and the human OTX genes in embryonic brain development of Drosophila. Development 1998; 125:1703-1710.]. Stage 10-17 embryos were given a 25-min heat pulse in order to overexpress the otd or Otx2 genes and allowed to recover for 25 min.

Single-cell transcriptome profiling of the Ciona larval brain

Project description:The tadpole-type larva of Ciona has emerged as an intriguing model system for the study of neurodevelopment. The Ciona intestinalis connectome has been recently mapped, revealing the smallest central nervous system (CNS) known in any chordate, with only 177 neurons. This minimal CNS is highly reminiscent of larger CNS of vertebrates, sharing many conserved developmental processes, anatomical compartments, neuron subtypes, and even specific neural circuits. Thus, the Ciona tadpole offers a unique opportunity to understand the development and wiring of a chordate CNS at single-cell resolution. Here we report the use of single-cell RNAseq to profile the transcriptomes of single cells isolated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) from the whole brain of Ciona robusta (formerly intestinalis Type A) larvae. We have also compared these profiles to bulk RNAseq data from specific subsets of brain cells isolated by FACS using cell type-specific reporter plasmid expression. Taken together, these datasets have begun to reveal the compartment- and cell-specific gene expression patterns that define the organization of the Ciona larval brain.

Transcriptome analysis of different brain areas in Hcrt gene and Hcrt cell ablated mice

Project description:Hypocretin (HCRT) and melanin concentrating hormone (MCH) are brain neuropeptides regulating a wide range of functions including sleep and metabolism. Loss of function of HCRT causes the sleep disorder narcolepsy. We found that loss of HCRT neurons in Hcrt-ataxin-3 mice results in a specific 50% decrease in another orexigenic neuropeptide QRFP that might explain the metabolic syndrome in narcolepsy.

Single cell transcriptome atlas of the Drosophila larval brain

Project description:The cellular composition of the brain and how it is affected by starvation, remains largely unknown. Here we introduce a single-cell transcriptome atlas of the entire Drosophila melanogaster first instar larval brain. We first assigned cell type identity based on the expression of previously characterized marker genes, allowing us to distinguish five major groups: neural progenitors cells, differentiated neurons, glial cells, undifferentiated neurons as well as non-neural cells corresponding to organs and structures located adjacent to the brain. All major classes were further subdivided into multiple subtypes based on cluster analysis, revealing critical biological features of various cell types. Moreover, we included two different feeding conditions: normal fed versus starved. After starvation, the transcriptional profile of several cell clusters were altered, while the overall composition of the brain remains unaffected. Intriguingly, different cell clusters show very distinct responses to starvation, suggesting the presence of cell-specific programs for nutrition availability. Establishing a single-cell transcriptome atlas of the larval brain provides a powerful tool to explore cell diversity, assess genetic profiles of neurogenic, neuronal and glial cell types. The analysis of neurotransmitters, neuropeptides and their respective receptors may further open the doors for functional studies.
