Quantifying the effects of lack of Stim2 on neuronal origin cells at single cell resolution

ABSTRACT: Stromal interaction molecule (STIM) proteins reside on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane and regulate Ca2+ homeostasis and signaling. The stim2a and stim2b double-knockout zebrafish have problems with vision, altered retinal pigment epithelium and thinner ganglion cell layer, and display decreased survival under low oxygen conditions. Also, genes related to light perception are downregulated in the (stim2a;stim2b)-/- zebrafish. In this study, we investigated the effect of lack of Stim2 on neuronal origin cells with single cell RNA sequencing. Utilizing a manifold learning-based method, we identified the subset of cells that were affected the most by the double-knockout. We found that genes involved in development of retina and trigeminal placode were downregulated in that subset of cells in the (stim2a;stim2b)-/- zebrafish. According to marker gene expression, (stim2a;stim2b)-/- zebrafish had decreased number of retinal ganglion cells expressing midkine b (mdkb), amacrine cells (ptmaa, ptmab), cells of the inner nuclear layer (calb2a), and trigeminal placode or sensory neurons (elavl4, slc17a6b) than (stim2a;stim2b)+/+ zebrafish. Furthermore, global downregulation of genes, especially ribosomal protein coding genes, linked with abnormality of retinal pigmented epithelium and brain development in general, and genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation and autophagy was observed in the subset of cells most affected by the double-knockout. Altogether, the results revealed potential mechanisms through which Stim2 may regulate vision/sensory circuitry, cellular response to hypoxia, and prevent neurodegeneration.

Loss of Stim2 in zebrafish induces retinal gene expression cellular changes resembling glaucoma characteristics [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Calcium is involved in vision processes in retina and is implicated in various pathologies including glaucoma. Rods are protected against prolonged lowering of intracellular calcium ion concentrations by Store Operated Calcium Entry (SOCE). We showed zebrafish lacking SOCE calcium sensor Stim2 had problem with vision as indicated by behavior tests, staining of retina and downregulation of genes related to light perception. In this work we aimed to understand the mechanism responsible for the vision problems in stim2 zebrafish knockout. scRNA-sequencing of neuronal origin cells from brains of 5 dpf larvae identified 27 clusters. Differently expressed genes were detected in ten clusters including amacrine and GABAergic retinal interneurons and GABAergic optic tectum cells. In five clusters the proportion of cells in stim2 KO fish versus control was significantly decreased including GABAergic diencephalon and optic tectum, and was increased in amacrine and GABAergic retinal interneurons. Transmission Electron Microscopy in stim2 KO fish revealed decrease in width of inner plexiform layer (IPL), ganglion cells and their dendrites numbers what is characteristic for glaucoma. Analysis of cell density in the inner nucleus layer, which includes amacrine cells among others, showed a significant decrease in the number of GABAergic neurons.The area of cristae in photoreceptor mitochondria was statistically lower in stim2 KO than in control retinas.

The transcriptional landscape of the developing chick trigeminal ganglion

Project description:The trigeminal ganglion is a critical structure in the peripheral nervous system, responsible for transmitting sensations of touch, pain, and temperature from craniofacial regions to the brain. Trigeminal ganglion development depends upon intrinsic cellular programming as well as extrinsic signals exchanged by diverse cell populations. With its complex anatomy and dual cellular origin from cranial placodes and neural crest cells, the trigeminal ganglion offers a rich context for examining diverse biological processes, including cell migration, fate determination, adhesion, and axon guidance. Avian models have, so far, enabled key insights into craniofacial and peripheral nervous system development. Yet, the molecular mechanisms driving trigeminal ganglion formation and subsequent nerve growth remain elusive. In this study, we performed RNA-sequencing at multiple stages of chick trigeminal ganglion development and generated a novel transcriptomic dataset that has been curated to illustrate temporally dynamic gene expression patterns. This publicly available resource identifies major pathways involved in trigeminal gangliogenesis, particularly with respect to the condensation and maturation of placode-derived neurons, thus inviting new lines of research into the essential processes governing trigeminal ganglion development.

Single-Cell Profiling of Zebrafish Retinal Ganglion Cells Reveal an Injury Response Mediated by Cell Dedifferentiation and Leukocytes [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are the sole projection neurons connecting the retina to the brain and therefore play a critical role in vision. Death of RGCs during glaucoma results in irreversible loss of vision as RGCs do not regenerate after injury in the human eye. There are no FDA approved drugs to prevent RGC death and/or promote RGC survival after injury. There is a critical need to better understand the molecular underpinnings of neuroprotection in vivo that can then be leveraged to develop new therapeutic approaches. Unlike mammals, zebrafish RGCs are resilient to injury and this study characterizes zebrafish retinal ganglion cell injury response to optic nerve transection (ONT) using isl2b:eGFP transgenic fish line, single cell and bulk RNA sequencing and in situ hybridization. We demonstrate that zebrafish RGCs do not show subtype specific resilience to injury but show a distinct temporal injury response which includes an increase in subtype 3, a cell population having progenitor and regenerative identity.

Phenotype of stim2 zebrafish knockout

Project description:Stromal interaction molecules (STIMs) are endoplasmic reticulum resident proteins that regulate Ca2+ homeostasis and signaling by store-operated calcium entry (SOCE). The different properties and functions of STIM1 and STIM2 have been described mostly based on work in vitro. Since STIM2 knockout mice do not survive till the adulthood we generated stim2a and stim2b double knockout zebrafish and characterized it. This (stim2a;stim2b)-/- fish were fertile and did not have apparent morphological phenotype. However, RNA-sequencing revealed 1424 genes differentially expressed with at least 2-fold change. One of the most upregulated gene was annexinA3a, which is a marker of activated microglia. This corresponded well to augmented Neutral Red staining observed by imaging in vivo of (stim2a;stim2b)-/- brain. The lack of Stim2 decreased survival of fish under low oxygen conditions. Behavioral tests such as visual-motor response and dark-light preferences indicated that (stim2a;stim2b)-/- larvae might have problems with vision. This is consistent with GO BP's analysis, which showed downregulation of many genes related to light perception. The Periodic acid-Schiff staining of retina sections from adult fish reveled the alteration in stratum pigmentosum suggesting involvement of Stim2-dependent process in visual perception. Together, these data reveal new functions for Stim2 in nervous system.

Gene expression timecourse in zebrafish whole eye in response to optic nerve crush

Project description:It is well-established that neurons in the adult mammalian central nervous system are terminally differentiated and, if injured, will be unable to regenerate their connections. In contrast to mammals, zebrafish and other teleosts display a robust neuroregenerative response. Following optic nerve crush (ONX), retinal ganglion cells (RGC) regrow their axons to synapse with topographically correct targets in the optic tectum, such that vision is restored in ~21 days. What accounts for these differences between teleostean and mammalian responses to neural injury is not fully understood. A time course analysis of global gene expression patterns in the zebrafish eye after optic nerve crush can help to elucidate cellular and molecular mechanisms that contribute to a successful neuroregeneration. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression patterns underlying a successful regeneration or the optic nerve following injury. Experiment Overall Design: Microarray analysis was performed on total RNA extracted from whole eye following optic nerve crush (ONX) or sham surgery at defined intervals (4, 12, & 21 days).

Neuroinflammation in Advanced Canine Glaucoma

Project description:Dogs frequently develop glaucoma, a disease that leads to vision loss due to loss of retinal ganglion cells and degeneration of axons within the optic nerve. We used Affymetrix Gene chips to characterize transcriptional changes between healthy and glaucomatous retinas. These data describe gene expression changes in the canine retina with glaucoma. RNA was isolated from the retinas of 5 dogs with advanced glaucoma and from 5 normal individuals.

Chick Otic Placode Induction Arrays

Project description:The inner ear develops from a patch of thickened cranial ectoderm adjacent to the hindbrain called the otic placode. Studies in a number of vertebrate species suggest that the initial steps in induction of the otic placode are regulated by members of the Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) family, and that inhibition of FGF signaling can prevent otic placode formation. To better understand the genetic pathways activated by FGF signaling during otic placode induction, we performed microarray experiments to estimate the proportion of chicken otic placode genes that can be up-regulated by the FGF pathway in a simple culture model of otic placode induction. Surprisingly, we find that FGF is only sufficient to induce about 15% of chick otic placode-specific genes in our experimental system. However, pharmacological blockade of the FGF pathway in cultured chick embryos showed that although FGF signaling was not sufficient to induce the majority of otic placode-specific genes, it was still necessary for their expression in vivo. These inhibitor experiments further suggest that the early steps in otic placode induction regulated by FGF signaling occur through the MAP kinase pathway. Although our work suggests that FGF signaling is necessary for otic placode induction, it demonstrates that other unidentified signaling pathways are required to co-operate with FGF signaling to induce the full otic placode program. 8 samples were analyzed. These contain two replicates of each of the following four catergories: Otic ectoderm, Non-Otic (lateral) ectoderm, Trigeminal Ectoderm cultured - FGF, Trigeminal Ectoderm cultured + FGF
