MTOR promotes zebrafish larvae fin regeneration through regulating macrophages activation and CaM-mTOR-dnm1l axis

ABSTRACT: To investigate the functional and mechanistic roles of mTOR in zebrafish larvae fin regeneration, we firstly examined the spatiotemporal expression of mTOR in larvae fin and established a mTOR knockout (mTOR-KO) transgenic fish line using CRISPER / Cas9 gene editing technology. Moreover, mTOR was essential for the activation of macrophages, which is a key factor in maintaining the regenerative repair process. We also demonstrated that mTOR knockdown attenuated the proliferative capacity of bud embryo cell during the regenerative phase, while cell apoptosis was not affected. RNA-sequence analysis showed changes in mitochondrial function and dnm1l was identified as the main regulatory factor during the fin regeneration stage. We further suggested that mTOR may promote mitochondrial fission to support bud embryo cell regeneration via CaM-mTOR-dnm1l axis.

Transcription profiling of Zebrafish 1 Day post amputation vehicle or beclomethasone exposed to study regeneration

Project description:Zebrafish caudal fin regeneration is an established model to study tissue regeneration. In order to identify novel molecular signaling pathways critical for regeneration, we developed a rapid throughput in vivo regeneration assay. We screened a 2000 member structurally diverse small molecule library, followed by assessment of regenerative progression at three days post amputation. A cluster of glucocorticoids was identified among the âpositive hitsâ. To identify the molecular targets of the activated glucocorticoid receptor, microarray analysis was performed using RNA isolated from the regenerates of control and glucocorticoid exposed zebrafish. We identified 673 transcripts that were differentially regulated. The level of expression and spatial expression pattern of select genes were completed by qPCR and by in situ hybridization, respectively. Altogether, these studies demonstrate the power of chemical genetics to identify chemical probes and their targets which will provide a path towards defining conserved regenerative pathways. Experiment Overall Design: The caudal fin of zebrafish larvae at 2days post fertilization were amputated and exposed to vehicle control alone or Beclomethasone . Regenerating fins were isolated at 1days post amputation. Three replicates were collected at each time point. 150 fins were pooled to comprise one replicate.

Single-cell RNA sequencing of the cut and uncut caudal fin of zebrafish larvae

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study was to establish the first detailed cell atlas of the regenerating caudal fin of zebrafish larvae. Intact and regenerating caudal fin were used for single-cell RNA-sequencing with the aim to provide the first integrated model of epimorphic regeneration in zebrafish larvae and demonstrate the diversity of the cells required for blastema formation. Methods: 150 of regenerating caudal fin (cut) and intact caudal fine (uncut) samples were dissociated and loaded into the 10x Genomics Chromium Platform, and sequenced using Illumina NovaSeq 6000. Conclusion: Our study constitutes a resource of the gene expression profile in intact and regenerating caudal fin of zebrafish larvae. We report the application of single-molecule-based sequencing technology for high-throughput profiling of both intact (uncut) and regenerating caudal fin samples (cut) at 24hpA. We confirmed the presence of macrophage subsets, previously described by our group to govern zebrafish fin regeneration, and identified a novel blastemal cell population.

Evolutionarily divergent mTOR remodels translatome for tissue regeneration

Project description:An outstanding mystery in biology is why some species, such as the axolotl, can regenerate tissues whereas mammals cannot1. Here, we demonstrate that rapid activation of protein synthesis is a unique feature of the injury response critical for limb regeneration in the axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum). By applying polysome sequencing, we identify hundreds of transcripts, including antioxidants and ribosome components that are selectively activated at the level of translation from pre-existing messenger RNAs in response to injury. By contrast, protein synthesis is not activated in response to non-regenerative digit amputation in the mouse. We identify the mTORC1 pathway as a key upstream signal that mediates tissue regeneration and translational control in the axolotl. We discover unique expansions in mTOR protein sequence among urodele amphibians. By engineering an axolotl mTOR (axmTOR) in human cells, we show that these changes create a hypersensitive kinase that allows axolotls to maintain this pathway in a highly labile state primed for rapid activation. This change renders axolotl mTOR more sensitive to nutrient sensing, and inhibition of amino acid transport is sufficient to inhibit tissue regeneration. Together, these findings highlight the unanticipated impact of the translatome on orchestrating the early steps of wound healing in a highly regenerative species and provide a missing link in our understanding of vertebrate regenerative potential.

Amino acid priming of mTOR is essential for heart regeneration

Project description:For a short period of time in mammalian neonates, the mammalian heart can regenerate via cardiomyocyte proliferation. This regenerative capacity is largely absent in adults. In other organisms, including zebrafish, damaged hearts can regenerate throughout their lifespans. Many studies have been performed to understand the mechanisms of cardiomyocyte de-differentiation and proliferation during heart regeneration however, the underlying reason why adult zebrafish and young mammalian cardiomyocytes are primed to enter cell cycle have not been identified. Here we show the primed state of a pro-regenerative cardiomyocyte is dictated by its amino acid profile and metabolic state. Adult zebrafish cardiomyocyte regeneration is a result of amino acid-primed mTOR activation. Zebrafish and neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes display elevated glutamine levels, predisposing them to amino acid-driven activation of mTORC1. Injury initiates Wnt/β-catenin signalling that instigates primed mTORC1 activation, Lin28 expression and metabolic remodeling necessary for zebrafish cardiomyocyte regeneration. These studies reveal a unique mTORC1 primed state in zebrafish and mammalian regeneration competent cardiomyocytes.

Transcription profiling of zebrafish adult and larval fin to investigate mechanisms of regeneration

Project description:Zebrafish have the remarkable ability to regenerate body parts including the heart, spinal cord and fins by a process referred to as epimorphic regeneration. Recent studies have illustrated that similar to adult zebrafish, early life stage-larvae also possess the ability to regenerate the caudal fin. A comparative genomic analysis was used to determine the degree of conservation in gene expression among the regenerating adult caudal fin, adult heart and larval fin. Results indicate that these tissues respond to amputation/injury with strikingly similar genomic responses. Comparative analysis revealed raldh2, a rate-limiting enzyme for the synthesis of Retinoic acid (RA), as one of the highly induced genes across the three regeneration platforms. Experiment Overall Design: The caudal fin of zebrafish larvae at 2days post fertilization were amputated. Caudal fin tissue at 2dpf and regenerating fins were isolated at 1, 2and 3 days post amputation. Three replicates were collected at each time point. 150 fins were pooled to comprise one replicate.

Regenerating zebrafish fin fold vs. uncut control

Project description:Teleost fish have the remarkable ability to regenerate their body parts including heart, spinal cord, and the caudal fin, while many higher vertebrates including us humans have only a limited ability. To facilitate molecular and genetic approaches for regeneration, we previously established an assay using the fin fold of early stage larvae, which regenerate their caudal fin folds as in adult regeneration. Here, we performed transcriptional profiling of regenerating larval fin folds and identified genes with differential expression during regeneration. Gene expression profiling of zebrafish larval fin-fold regeneration was performed by comparing amputated fin fold and uncut control. Keywords: Stress response, injury response. Two time points, 18-24 hours post amputation (hpa) and 48 hpa, of regenerating fin fold were analyzed. We performed one replicate per each time point. For microarray expression profiling, total RNA was extracted from regenerating and uncut caudal fin folds of AB strain larvae. Tail tissues of 16-24 hpa, 48 hpa, and uncut siblings of the respective stages including 3-5 posterior somite segments were collected on ice. Total RNA was extracted by using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, California, United States) according to the manufacturerâs instruction. The quantity and quality of total RNA were assessed by absorbance at 260 nm and 280 nm and by gel electrophoresis. Approx. 9 Î¼g of total RNA was recovered from ~250 tail tissues at 16-24 hpa or uncut control tissues; and approx. 5 Î¼g, from ~130 tail tissues at 48 hpa or uncut control tissues. Probes for microarray analysis were labeled with cy3 (amputated fin fold at 16-24 hpa and uncut control at 48 hpa) or cy5 (uncut control at 16-24 hpa and amputated fin fold at 48 hpa), and used for hybridization.

Hyaluronic acid synthesis is required for zebrafish tail fin regeneration

Project description:Using genome-wide transcriptional profiling and whole-mount expression analyses of zebrafish larvae, we have identified hyaluronan synthase 3 (has3) as an upregulated gene during caudal fin regeneration. has3 expression is induced in the wound epithelium within hours after tail amputation, and its onset and maintenance requires fibroblast growth factor, phosphoinositide 3-kinase, and transforming growth factor-β signaling. Inhibition of hyaluronic acid (HA) synthesis by the small molecule 4-methylumbelliferone (4-MU) impaired tail regeneration in zebrafish larvae by preventing injury-induced cell proliferation. In addition, 4-MU reduced the expression of genes associated with wound epithelium and blastema function. Treatment with the glycogen synthase 3-kinase inhibitors rescued 4-MU-induced defects in cell proliferation and tail regeneration, even though only a subset of wound epithelium and blastema markers was restored. Our findings uncover a role for HA biosynthesis in zebrafish tail regeneration and its epistatic relationships with other regenerative processes.
