Project description:The fatal neurodegenerative disorders amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) are the most common motoneuron disease and genetic cause of infant death, respectively. Various in vitro model systems have been established to investigate motoneuron disease mechanisms - in particular immortalized cell lines and primary neurons. By quantitative mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics we here compare the proteomes of primary motoneurons to motoneuron-like cell lines NSC-34 and N2a as well as to non-neuronal control cells at a depth of 10,000 proteins. We use this resource to evaluate the suitability of murine in vitro model systems for cell biological and biochemical analysis of motoneuron disease mechanisms. Individual protein and pathway analysis indicate substantial differences between motoneuron-like cell lines and primary motoneurons, especially for proteins involved in differentiation, cytoskeleton and receptor signaling, whereas common metabolic pathways were more similar. The ALS-associated proteins themselves also showed distinct differences between cell lines and primary motoneurons, providing a molecular basis for understanding fundamental alterations between cell lines and neurons with respect to neuronal pathways with relevance for disease mechanisms. Our study provides a proteomics resource for motoneuron research and presents a paradigm of how MS-based proteomics can be used to evaluate disease model systems

Project description:The identification of molecular specializations in cortical circuitry supporting complex behaviors, such as learned vocalizations, requires understanding the neuroanatomical context from which these circuits arise. In songbirds, the robust nucleus of the arcopallium (RA) provides the sole descending projection for fine motor control of vocalizations. Using single nuclei transcriptomics and spatial gene expression mapping in zebra finches, we were able to define cell types and molecular specializations that distinguish RA from adjacent regions involved in non-vocal motor and sensory processing. We describe an RA-specific vocal projection neuron, differential composition of inhibitory neuron subtypes, and unique glial specializations. We show how several cell-specific molecular features arise in a sex-dependent manner during development. Based on the molecular data, we were also able to electrophysiologically probe, for the first time, predicted GABAergic subtypes within RA. To facilitate future utilization of the data, we have developed interactive apps that allow integration of cell level molecular data with developmental and spatial distribution data from our gene expression brain atlas (ZEBrA). With this resource, users can explore molecular specializations of vocal-motor neurons and support cells that likely reflect adaptations key to the physiology and evolution of vocal control circuits.

Project description:Our knowledge about the molecular regulation of zebrafish gonad development and function is very limited. This study aims to identify gonad-expressed genes in zebrafish and to analyze their expression in various organs. Using our custom ÂGonad Uniclone Microarray v1, we performed a total of 32 hybridizations, using eight target organs with four biological replicates each. The target organs consisted of adult ovary and testis; the brain, kidney and rest-of-body (ie. whole body except the three organs listed earlier) from both male and female zebrafish, were used as controls. For simplicity, rest of body will be regarded as an organ. All targets were hybridized against a pooled common reference consisting of equal amounts of targets from all dissected organs from a single adult male and a single adult female.

Project description: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.

Project description:In mammals, fine motor control is essential for skilled behavior, and is subserved by specialized subdivisions of the primary motor cortex (M1) and other components of the brain’s motor circuitry. We profiled the epigenomic state of several components of the Rhesus macaque motor system, including subdivisions of M1 corresponding to hand and orofacial control. We compared this to open chromatin data from M1 in rat, mouse, and human. We found broad similarities as well as unique specializations in open chromatin regions (OCRs) between M1 subdivisions and other brain regions, as well as species- and lineage-specific differences reflecting their evolutionary histories. By distinguishing shared mammalian M1 OCRs from primate- and human-specific specializations, we highlight gene regulatory programs that could subserve the evolution of skilled motor behaviors such as speech and tool use. Further, in order to predict candidate enhancers in additional species for which primary data was not available, we developed machine learning models trained on genome sequence across species.

Project description:The origin of humans was accompanied by the emergence of new behavioral and cognitive functions, including language and specialized forms of abstract representation. However, the molecular foundations of these human capabilities are poorly understood. Because of the extensive similarity between human and chimpanzee DNA sequences, it has been suggested that many of the key phenotypic differences between species result primarily from alterations in the regulation of genes rather than in their sequences. To characterize gene expression patterns accross the brain and investigate the genetic basis of human specializations in brain organization and cognition, we used microarrays to quantify the transcript levels of thousands of genes in tissue samples from different brain regions of several human and chimpanzee individuals. Our results indicated that the human brain displays a distinctive pattern of gene expression relative to non-human primates, with higher expression levels for many genes belonging to a wide variety of functional classes. The increased expression of these genes could provide the basis for extensive modifications of cerebral physiology and function in humans, and suggests that the human brain is characterized by elevated levels of neuronal activity. Experiment Overall Design: Gene-expression profiling was performed on 32 tissue samples from different brain regions of a total of 7 humans and 4 chimpanzees. Most samples were hybridized to a single independent arrays, but in a few cases 2 replicates from the same sample were performed, totaling 37 different arrays.

Project description:Peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRPs) are a family of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that serve as a strong link between invertebrate and vertebrate immunity.It has been demonstrated that PGRPs in insects function as bacterial recognition molecules which trigger proteolytic or signal transduction pathways, being thus important in the antimicrobial innate immunity. To explore the effect of zebrafish short-form PGRP (zfPGRP-SC) on proteolytic or signal transduction pathway, RNA interference (siRNA) and high-density oligonucleotide microarray methods were used to identify differentially expressed genes regulated by zfPGRP-SC. Experiment Overall Design: The control siRNA, zfPGRP-SC siRNA were introduced into zebrafish zygotes at the concentration of 300 ng / μl under a normal microscope.The injection volume was 1 nL per embryo. To insure the isochronous development, the embryos of one experimental and two different control samples (the group injected with the control siRNA and the uninjected group) were from the artificial fertilized embryos collected within 5 minutes. To eliminate the difference from the different parents, all embryos were randomly mixed. The microinjection was conducted within 30 minutes. Twenty-four hours later, 400 embryos for each group were collected.

Project description:Past studies have identified topologically associating domains (TADs) as basic units of genome organization. Here, we present evidence for a new level of genome folding, whereby distant TAD pairs megabases apart interact to form meta-domains. Within meta-domains, gene promoters and structural intergenic elements present in distant TADs are specifically paired. The associated genes encode neuronal determinants, including those engaged in axonal guidance and adhesion. These long-range associations occur in a large fraction of neurons but support transcription in only a subset of neurons. Meta-domains are formed by diverse transcription factors that are able to pair over long and flexible distances. We present evidence that two such factors, GAF and CTCF, play direct roles in this process. The relative simplicity of higher-order meta-domain interactions in Drosophila, compared with those previously described in mammals, allowed the demonstration that genomes can fold into highly specialized cell type-specific scaffolds that enable megabase-scale regulatory associations.
