Zebrafish sall1a and sall4 contribute to posterior body elongation

ABSTRACT: Vertebrate embryos elongate the body after gastrulation. Unlike in mice, which elongate both the trunk and tail after gastrulation, zebrafish embryos develop the trunk at the end of gastrulation, followed by tail elongation by proliferation of posteriorly located progenitors. Previous studies have shown that the transcription factors SALL1 and SALL4 redundantly regulate tail elongation in mouse embryos. To test whether sall1a and sall4 also regulate tail elongation in zebrafish, we generated zebrafish mutants for these genes. By 24 hours post-fertilization, sall4 mutant embryos developed normally but exhibited changes in gene expression at the posterior end of the body. sall1a mutants also developed normally by 24 hours post-fertilization. However, embryos mutant for both sall1a and sall4 showed a slight but significant reduction in body length compared to wild-type and sall1a mutant embryos. Our results support a role for sall1a and sall4 in tail elongation in zebrafish, though their contribution appears smaller than that observed in mouse embryos.

Transcription profiling of Zebrafish muscle tissue from wild type and runzel (ruz, carrying a mutant titin gene) embryos

Project description:The zebrafish runzel (ruz) carries a mutation in the titin gene resulting in muscle degeneration and embryonic lethality. At the onset of the visible phenotype (3-3.5 days post fertilization), RNA expression of the tail and trunk (primarily skeletal muscle) was compared between ruz mutants and wildtype siblings using the Affymetrix Zebrafish Gene Chip. Mutant RNA was matched with RNA of wildtype siblings from the same clutch. 3 separate clutches were used (n=3). RNA was labeled, sheered, and hybridized as in Shephard et al. (Shepard et al., 2005) and the data analyzed as in Choe et al. and Weber et al. (Choe et al., 2005; Weber et al., 2005). Results suggest a novel mechanism of titin muscular dystrophy pathogenesis including upregulation of heat shock proteins. Experiment Overall Design: At the onset of the visible phenotype (3-3.5 days post fertilization), RNA expression of the tail and trunk (primarily skeletal muscle) was compared between ruz mutants and wildtype siblings using the Affymetrix Zebrafish Gene Chip. RNA of mutants was matched with RNA of wildtype siblings from the same clutch. 3 separate clutches were used (6 arrays total).

setdb2 knockdown microarray

Project description:As the primary driving forces of gastrulation, convergence and extension (C&E) movements lead to a medio-lateral narrowing and an anterior-posterior elongation of the embryonic body axis. Histone methylation as a post-translational modification plays a critical role for early embryonic development, but its functions on C&E movements remaine largely unknown. Here, we uncover that knockdown of setdb2, a SET domain-containing protein possessing potential histone H3K9 methyltransferase activity, induces abnormal C&E movements. Then, we perform genome-wide gene expression profiling of zebrafish in 6h control embryos and setdb2 morphant embryos to address the downstream target of setdb2 gene.

Sall4 regulates posterior trunk mesoderm development by promoting mesodermal gene expression and repressing neural genes in the mesoderm

Project description:The trunk axial skeleton develops from paraxial mesoderm cells. Our recent study demonstrated that conditional knockout of the stem cell factor Sall4 in mice by TCre caused tail truncation and a disorganized axial skeleton posterior to the lumbar level. Based on this phenotype, we hypothesized that, in addition to the previously reported role of Sall4 in neuromesodermal progenitors, Sall4 is involved in the development of the paraxial mesoderm tissue. ATAC-seq in TCre; Sall4 mutant posterior trunk mesoderm shows that Sall4 knockout reduces chromatin accessibility. We found that Sall4- dependent open chromatin status drives activation and repression of WNT signaling activators and repressors, respectively, to promote WNT signaling. Moreover, footprinting analysis of ATAC-seq data suggests that Sall4-dependent chromatin accessibility facilitates CTCF binding, which contributes to the repression of neural genes within the mesoderm. This study unveils multiple mechanisms by which Sall4 regulates paraxial mesoderm development by directing activation of mesodermal genes and repression of neural genes.

Zebrafish whole embryos at 36 hpf treated with DMSO or 5uM 11,12-EET

Project description:In our previous study, we found zebrafish embryos treated with 5uM 11,12-EET (epoxyeicosatrienoic acid) had increased stem cell marker, runx1, expression in the AGM. EET also induced ectopic runx1 expression in the tail. To systematically study how EET regulates gene expression, we performed microarray analysis on EET-treated embryos. Zebrafish whole embryos were synchronized at fertilization. Embryos were grown at 28 degree overnight. 25 embryos per group were treated with DMSO or 5uM 11,12-EET starting from 24 hpf (hour post fertilization) until 36 hpf at 28 degree. The triplicates were from three different clutches of embryos, and split into DMSO v.s. EET for each clutch.

Poly(A)-tail profiling reveals an embryonic switch in translational control

Project description:Poly(A) tails enhance the stability and translation of most eukaryotic messenger RNAs, but difficulties in globally measuring poly(A)-tail lengths have impeded greater understanding of poly(A)-tail function. Here we describe poly(A)-tail length profiling by sequencing (PAL-seq) and apply it to measure tail lengths of millions of individual RNAs isolated from yeasts, cell lines, Arabidopsis thaliana leaves, mouse liver, and zebrafish and frog embryos. Poly(A)-tail lengths were conserved between orthologous mRNAs, with mRNAs encoding ribosomal proteins and other 'housekeeping' proteins tending to have shorter tails. As expected, tail lengths were coupled to translational efficiencies in early zebrafish and frog embryos. However, this strong coupling diminished at gastrulation and was absent in non-embryonic samples, indicating a rapid developmental switch in the nature of translational control. This switch complements an earlier switch to zygotic transcriptional control and explains why the predominant effect of microRNA mediated deadenylation concurrently shifts from translational repression to mRNA destabilization. 64 samples from a variety of species

RNA-seq of whole zebrafish embryos at 6 and 10hr post fertilisation

Project description:RNA-seq was performed to reveal the RNA expression profile at two different stages (shield and tail-bud stage) in the embryogenesis of zebrafish (wild type strain AB). Zebrafish embryos were collected at the shield stage and tail-bud stage, which correspond to 6 hours post fertilization (hpf) and 10 hpf, respectively. Total RNA was extracted with miRNeasy Mini Kit, libraries for sequencing were prepared with TruSeq stranded mRNA library prep kit (Illumina), and paired-end sequencing was performed using NovaSeq 6000 (Illumina).

A robust method for performing 1H-NMR lipidomics in embryonic zebrafish

Project description:The embryonic zebrafish is an ideal system for lipid analyses with relevance to many areas of bioscience research, including biomarkers and therapeutics. Research in this area has been hampered by difficulties in extracting, identifying and quantifying lipids. We employed 1H-NMR at 700MHz to profile lipids in developing zebrafish embryos. The optimal method for lipidomics in embryonic zebrafish incorporated rapid lipid extraction using chloroform and an environment without oxygen depletion. Pools of 10 embryos gave the most acceptable signal-to-noise ratio, and the inclusion of chorions in the sample had no significant effect on lipid abundances. Embryos, bisected into cranial (head and yolk sac) and caudal (tail) regions, were compared by principal component analysis and analysis of variance.

Transcription profiling of mouse Cdx2+/-Cdx4-/- mutant embryos versus wild type embryos at the 13 somite stage

Project description:Hox and Cdx transcription factors regulate embryonic positional identities. Cdx mutant mice display posterior body truncations of the axial skeleton, neuraxis, and caudal uro-rectal structures. We show that trunk Hox genes stimulate axial extension as they can largely rescue these Cdx mutant phenotypes. Conversely, posterior (paralog group 13) Hox genes can prematurely arrest posterior axial growth when precociously expressed. Our data suggest that the transition from trunk to tail Hox gene expression successively regulates construction and termination of axial structures in the mouse embryo. Thus, Hox genes seem to differentially orchestrate posterior expansion of embryonic tissues during axial morphogenesis as an integral part of their function in specifying head-to-tail identity. In addition, we present evidence that Cdx and Hox transcription factors exert these effects by controlling Wnt signaling. Concomitant regulation of Cyp26a1 expression, restraining retinoic acid signaling in the posterior growth zone, may likewise play a role in timing the trunk-tail transition. Experiment Overall Design: A micro-array screen of down regulated and upregulated genes in Cdx2+/-Cdx4-/- mutant embryos versus wildtype embryos was performed at the embryonic stage of 13 somites. RNA was isolated from the posterior part of the embryos dissected at the same axial level using the last somite boundary as a landmark. Posterior tissues from pools of 7 embryos of each genotype were pooled. The labeled cRNAs were hybridized on 4X44K Agilent Whole Mouse Genome dual colour Microarrays (G4122F) in a dye swap experiment, resulting in two individual microarrays.
