Mapping and understanding the function of RNA in octopus brain

ABSTRACT: Coleoid cephalopods possess a highly complex nervous system and a rich behavioral repertoire that is unique within the invertebrates and is comparable to – but evolved independently from – the vertebrates (Shigeno et al. 2018). To explain this complexity, previous studies have implicated a unusually high level of mRNA editing in transcripts expressed in both the octopus and squid nervous system (Albertin et al. 2015; Alon et al. 2015; Liscovitch-Brauer et al. 2017). We have sequenced RNA across 18 tissues from the octopus O. vulgaris, and analyzed the extent of mRNA isoform usage as well as the expression of microRNAs in the nervous system in comparison to non-neuronal tissues.

RNA-seq of the Octopus vulgaris nervous system.

Project description:Three adult individuals of the Octopus vulgaris were collected from the Southern Tyrrhenian Sea (Italy). For each animal, total RNA was isolated from the supra- (SEM), sub- (SUB) esophageal masses, optic lobes (OL) and the arms (ARM). The RNA-sequencing has been performed using Illumina technology.

Emergence of novel cephalopod gene regulation and expression through large-scale genome reorganization

Project description:Coleoid cephalopods (squids, cuttlefish, octopus) have the largest nervous system among invertebrates that together with many lineage-specific morphological traits enables complex behaviors. The genomic basis underlying these innovations remains unknown. Using comparative and functional genomics in the model squid Euprymna scolopes, we reveal the unique genomic, topological, and regulatory organization of cephalopod genomes. We show that cephalopod genomes have been extensively restructured compared to other animals leading to the emergence of hundreds of tightly linked and evolutionary unique gene clusters (microsyntenies). Such novel microsyntenies correspond to topological compartments with a distinct regulatory structure and contribute to complex expression patterns. In particular, we identified a set of microsyntenies associated with cephalopod innovations (MACIs) broadly enriched in cephalopod nervous system expression. We posit that the emergence of MACIs was instrumental to cephalopod nervous system evolution and propose that microsyntenic profiling will be central to understand cephalopod innovations.

Cell types and molecular architecture of the Octopus bimaculoides visual system

Project description:Cephalopods have a remarkable visual system, with a camera-type eye, high acuity vision, and a wide range of sophisticated visual behaviors. However, the cephalopod brain is organized dramatically differently from that of vertebrates, as well as other invertebrates, and little is known regarding the cell types and molecular determinants of their visual system organization beyond neuroanatomical descriptions. Here we present a comprehensive single-cell molecular atlas of the octopus optic lobe, which is the primary visual processing structure in the cephalopod brain. We combined single-cell RNA sequencing with RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization to both identify putative molecular cell types and determine their anatomical and spatial organization within the optic lobe. Our results reveal six major neuronal cell classes identified by neurotransmitter/neuropeptide usage, in addition to non-neuronal and immature neuronal populations. Moreover, we find that additional markers divide these neuronal classes into subtypes with distinct anatomical localizations, revealing cell type diversity and a detailed laminar organization within the optic lobe. We also delineate the immature neurons within this continuously growing tissue into subtypes defined by evolutionarily conserved fate specification genes as well as novel cephalopod- and octopus- specific genes. Together, these findings outline the organizational logic of the octopus visual system, based on functional determinants, laminar identity, and developmental markers/pathways. The resulting atlas presented here delineates the “parts list” of the neural circuits used for vision in octopus, providing a platform for investigations into the development and function of the octopus visual system as well as the evolution of visual processing.

Cell type diversity in the octopus brain

Project description:Octopuses are mollusks that evolved intricate neural systems which are comparable with vertebrates in terms of cell number, complexity and size. Exactly how an octopus increases its neural cell number so dramatically and whether an increase in cell type diversity enables higher cognitive function and complex behavior is still unknown. To profile the cell diversity of the developing octopus brain we applied 10x Genomics’ single-cell/nuclei RNA sequencing technology. At hatching, the Octopus vulgaris brain possesses the main lobes and connections of an adult brain, but which cell types are present remains elusive. We were able to identify 42 robust cell types comprising mostly neural cells, as well as multiple glial subtypes and other non-neuronal populations such as endothelial cells and fibroblasts. In situ expression analysis of marker genes allowed spatial mapping of clusters, including vertical lobe cells and several optic lobe cell types. Investigation of cell type conservation indicated similar gene expression signatures between glial cells of mice, fly and octopus. Genes related to memory and learning were found enriched in vertical lobe cells, that showed molecular similarities with Kenyon cells in Drosophila but not to any mouse cell type. Lastly, we also analyzed the expression of newly expanded gene families (protocadherins, C2H2 zinc-finger transcription factors and G-protein coupled receptors) and found that these are enriched in specific cell types. Taken together, our data gives insight into cell type evolution and the composition of the complex octopus brain.

Shotgun proteomics analysis of saliva and salivary gland tissue from the common octopus Octopus vulgaris

Project description:The saliva of the common octopus (Octopus vulgaris) has been the subject of biochemical study for over a century. A combination of bioassays, behavioural studies and molecular analysis on O. vulgaris and related species suggests that it should contain a mixture of highly potent neurotoxins and degradative proteins. However, a lack of genomic and transcriptomic data has meant that the amino acid sequences of these proteins remain almost entirely unknown. To address this, we assembled the salivary gland transcriptome of O. vulgaris and combined it with high resolution mass spectrometry data from the posterior and anterior salivary glands of two adults, the posterior salivary glands of six paralarvae and the saliva from a single adult. We identified a total of 2810 protein groups from across this range of salivary tissues and age classes, including 84 with homology to known venom protein families. Additionally, we found 21 short secreted cysteine rich protein groups of which 12 were specific to cephalopods. By combining protein expression data with phylogenetic analysis we demonstrate that serine proteases expanded dramatically within the cephalopod lineage and that cephalopod specific proteins are strongly associated with the salivary apparatus.
