Project description:Transcriptional enhancer elements are responsible for orchestrating the temporal and spatial control over gene expression that is crucial for programming cell identity during development. Here, we describe a novel enhancer element important for regulating Prox1 expression in lymphatic endothelial cells. This evolutionarily conserved enhancer is bound by key lymphatic transcriptional regulators including GATA2, FOXC2, NFATC1 and PROX1. CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing of this enhancer element revealed that deletion of only 5 nucleotides encompassing the GATA2 binding site has a dramatic impact on lymphatic vascular development; mice homozygous for this deletion die soon after birth exhibiting profound lymphatic vascular defects. Lymphatic endothelial cells in enhancer mutant mice exhibit reduced levels of genes characteristic of lymphatic endothelial cell identity and acquire characteristics of hemogenic endothelium, including the capacity to generate hematopoietic cells. These data reveal the first transcriptional enhancer element important for regulating Prox1 expression and lymphatic endothelial cell identity and suggest that Prox1 is important for repressing hemogenic cell identity in the lymphatic endothelium.

Project description:The lymphatic vascular system plays important roles in the maintenance of interstitial fluid pressure, the afferent immune response and the absorption of dietary lipids. However, the molecular mechanisms that control lymphatic vessel network maturation and function remain largely unknown. To identify novel players in lymphatic vessel function, we isolated pure populations of lymphatic and blood vascular endothelial cells from mouse intestine using fluorescence-activated high-speed cell sorting and performed transcriptional profiling. We found that the axonal guidance molecules semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) and Sema3D were specifically expressed by lymphatic vessels. Quantitative PCR of ex vivo isolated cells and immunohistochemical analysis confirmed these results. Importantly, we found that the semaphorin receptor neuropilin-1 (Nrp-1) is expressed on the valves of collecting lymphatic vessels. Treatment of mice in utero (E12.5-E16.5) with an antibody that blocks Sema3A binding to Nrp-1, but not with an antibody that blocks VEGFA binding to Nrp-1, resulted in abnormal development of collecting lymphatic vessels and valves, and aberrant smooth muscle cell coverage. Conversely, Sema3A-deficient mice displayed branching defects of collecting lymphatic vessels as well as impaired valve development. Together, these results reveal an unanticipated role of Sema3A/Nrp-1 signaling in the maturation of the lymphatic vascular network. Colon single-cell suspensions were prepared by a fast protocol that minimizes the RNA degradation. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) was used to sort blood vascular endothelial cells (BEC) and lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC). 4 animal-matched pairs of LEC and BEC were chosen based on the quality of extracted and amplified material to provide homogenous groups of biological replicates. This gave 8 samples to analyze. Samples present LEC and BEC isolated from 4 healthy normal mice. The 4 mice used present the 4 biological replicates.

Project description:Purpose: In order to study signaling pathway changes of prenatal chlorpyrifos exposure embryonic kidney development Methods: By using RNA-seq, we studied the transcriptome of E12.5, E14.5, E16.5 and E18.5 prenatal chlorpyrifos exposure embryonic kidneys and DMSO exposure (control) embryonic kidneys Results: We show that Notch signaling pathway and aquaporin family had high expression in chlorpyrifos exposure E18.5 kidney. The nephron progenitor markers had low expression in chlorpyrifos exposure embryonic kidneys
