A Single Cell RNA Sequence Atlas of the Early Drosophila Larval Eye

ABSTRACT: TheDrosophilaeye has been an important model to understand principles of differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis and tissue morphogenesis. However, a single cell RNA sequence resource that captures gene expression dynamics from the initiation of differentiation to the specification of different cell types in the larval eye disc is lacking. Here, we report transcriptomic data from 13,000 cells that cover six developmental stages of the larval eye. Our data show cell clusters that correspond to all major cell types present in the eye disc ranging from the initiation of the morphogenetic furrow to the differentiation of each photoreceptor cell type as well as early cone cells. We identify dozens of cell type-specific genes whose function in different aspects of eye development have not been reported. These single cell data will greatly aid research groups studying different aspects of early eye development and will facilitate a deeper understanding of the larval eye as a model system.

Integrative Genomic Analyses Reveal Putative Cell Type-specific Targets of theDrosophilaEts Transcription Factor Pointed

Project description:The Ets domain transcription factors direct diverse biological processes throughout all metazoans and are implicated in development as well as in tumor initiation, progression and metastasis. The Drosophila Ets transcription factor Pointed (Pnt) is the downstream effector of the Epidermal growth factor receptor (Egfr) pathway and is required for cell cycle progression, specification, and differentiation of most cell types in the larval eye disc. Despite its critical role in development, very few targets of Pnt have been reported previously. Here, we employed an integrated approach by combining genome-wide single cell and bulk data to identify putative cell type-specific Pnt targets. First, we used chromatin immunoprecipitation with high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) to determine the genome-wide occupancy of Pnt in late larval eye discs. We identified enriched regions that mapped to an average of 6,941 genes, the vast majority of which are novel putative Pnt targets. Next, we integrated ChIP-seq data with two other larval eye single cell genomics datasets (scRNA-seq and snATAC-seq) to reveal 157 putative cell type-specific Pnt targets that may help mediate unique cell type responses upon Egfr-induced differentiation. Finally, our integrated data also predicts cell type-specific functional enhancers that were not reported previously. Together, our study provides a greatly expanded list of putative cell type-specific Pnt targets in the eye and is a resource for future studies that will

Analysis of Drosophila melanogaster Chromosome Topology in Larval Eye and Antennal Discs

Project description:The goal of this study was to examine chromosome topology in Drosophila larval eye and antennal discs by identifying topologically associating domains (TADs) across the genome. TADs were compared between the eye and antennal disc to determine whether they contribute to cell-type-specific homologous pairing and transvection.

Glass promotes the differentiation of both neuronal and non-neuronal cells in the Drosophila eye

Project description:Multiple cell types can be specified from a single pool of progenitors through the combinatorial activity of transcriptional regulators, which activate distinct developmental programs to establish different cell fates. The zinc finger transcription factor Glass is required for neuronal progenitors in the Drosophila eye imaginal disc to acquire a photoreceptor identity. Glass is also expressed in non-neuronal cone and pigment cells, but its role in these cells is unknown. To examine how Glass activity is affected by the cellular context, we misexpressed it in different tissues. When expressed in neuroblasts of the larval brain or in epithelial cells of the wing disc, Glass activated both a common core set of target genes and distinct gene sets specific to each tissue. In addition to photoreceptor-specific genes, Glass induced markers of cone and pigment cells. Cell type-specific glass mutations generated in cone or pigment cells using somatic CRISPR revealed autonomous developmental defects, and expressing Glass specifically in these cells partially rescued glass mutant phenotypes. Glass thus acts in both neuronal and non-neuronal cells to promote their differentiation into functional components of the eye, suggesting that it is a determinant of organ identity.

Analysis of Drosophila melanogaster Third Instar Larval Eye and Antennal Disc Transcriptomes

Project description:The goal of this study was to examine RNA expression levels in the Drosophila larval eye and antennal discs and determine whether higher levels of transcription were correlated with the ability of transgenes to drive pairing with their homologous endogenous loci between chromosomes. Additionally, RNA expression levels were compared between the eye and antennal discs to determine whether increased insulator protein expression contributed to increased pairing in the eye disc.

Expression data from third instar Drosophila eye discs

Project description:Third instar larval eye discs provide an in vivo model for cell cycle exit studies. Posterior to the Second Mitotic Wave proliferation is absent in a wild type eye disc. Inactivating mutations in tumor suppressor-like genes can lead to genome wide changes in gene expression that allow for inappropriate bypass of cell cycle exit signals posterior to the Second Mitotic Wave. In a mosaic tissue comprised of two wild type (Canton) populations (distinguished by presence or absence of GFP) there is roughly a 50/50 distribution of both populations in the tissue. Using the same method but comparing Warts (wts) to wild type you see that Warts mutant tissue is ~70-80% of the eye disc and the rest is wild type tissue. In the comparison of rbf1120a v rbf1120a+wts using the same method for mosaic creation we were able to see a similar ~80-85% of the eye disc as rbf1120a+wts. rbf1120a cells have relatively little advantage over wild type cells, but we were able to use entirely homozygous mutant discs for RNA extraction. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression underlying cell cycle exit and identified distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulated genes during this process. Drosophila third instar larvea were selected and the eye discs from these animals were prepared for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We used mosaic larval discs but the majority of the tissue was comprised of the mutant allelic combination we desired due to the proliferative advantage of these mutant cells over wild type cells.

A Single Cell Genomics Atlas of the Drosophila Larval Eye Reveals Distinct Developmental Timelines and Novel Markers for All Photoreceptor Subtypes

Project description:The Drosophila eye is a powerful model system to study the dynamics of cell differentiation, cell state transitions, cell maturation, and pattern formation. However, a high-resolution single cell genomics resource that accurately profiles all major cell types of the larval eye disc and their spatiotemporal relationships is lacking. Here, we report transcriptomic and chromatin accessibility data for all known cell types in the developing eye. Photoreceptors appear as strands of cells that represent dynamic developmental timelines. Photoreceptor subtypes are transcriptionally distinct when they begin to differentiate, but then appear to assume a common transcriptome as they mature. We identify novel cell type maturation genes, enhancers, and potential regulators, as well as genes with distinct R3 or R4 photoreceptor specific expression. Finally, we observe that photoreceptor chromatin accessibility is more permissive than non-neuronal lens-secreting cone cells, which show a more restrictive chromatin profile. These single cell genomics atlases will greatly enhance the power of the Drosophila eye as a model system.

Eye imaginal disc development

Project description:Coordinating cell proliferation and differentiation is essential during organogenesis. In Drosophila, the photoreceptor, pigment and support cells of the eye are specified in an orchestrated wave as the morphogenetic furrow passes across the eye imaginal disc. Cells anterior of the furrow are uncommitted to cell type and remain mitotically active, while most cells in the furrow arrest at G1 and adopt specified ommatidial fates. We used microarray expression analysis to monitor changes in transcription at the furrow and identified genes whose expression correlates with either proliferation or fate specification.
