Reactivation of mammalian regeneration by turning on an evolutionarily disabled genetic switch [scRNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Mammals display prominent diversity in the ability to regenerate damaged ear pinna, but the genetic changes underlying the failure of regeneration remain elusive. We performed comparative single-cell and spatial transcriptomic analyses of rabbits and mice recovering from pinna damage. Insufficient retinoic acid (RA) production, caused by the deficiency of rate-limiting enzyme Aldh1a2 and boosted RA degradation, was responsible for the failure of mouse pinna regeneration. Switching on Aldh1a2 or RA supplementation reactivated regeneration. Evolutionary inactivation of multiple Aldh1a2-linked regulatory elements accounted for the deficient Aldh1a2 expression upon injury in mice and rats. Furthermore, the activation of Aldh1a2 by a single rabbit enhancer was sufficient to improve ear pinna regeneration in transgenic mice. Our study identified a genetic switch involved in the evolution of regeneration.

Enhancer DNA pull-down of proteins extracted from PA2 tissue of mouse E11.5 embryos

Project description:Enhancers, through the combinatorial action of transcription factors (TFs), dictate both the spatial specificity and the levels of gene expression, and their aberrations can result in diseases. While HMX1 downstream enhancer is associated to ear malformations, the mechanisms underlying bilateral constricted ear (BCE) remain unclear. Here, we identify a copy number variation (CNV) containing three enhancers—collectively termed the positional identity hierarchical enhancer cluster (PI-HEC)—that drives BCE by coordinately regulating HMX1 expression. Each enhancer exhibits distinct activity-location-structure features, and the dominant enhancer with high mobility group (HMG)-box and homeodomain TF motifs modulating its activity and specificity, respectively. Mouse models demonstrate that neural crest-derived fibroblasts with aberrant Hmx1 expression in the basal pinna, along with ectopic distal pinna expression, disrupt outer ear development, affecting cartilage, muscle, and epidermis. Our findings elucidate mammalian ear morphogenesis and underscore the complexity of synergistic regulation among enhancers and between enhancers and transcription factors.

WNT signaling in human pluripotent stem cells promotes HDAC2-dependent epigenetic programs and development of retinoic acid-responsive mesoderm

Project description:Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) can be used as a scalable source of lymphocytes for adoptive cell therapies, contingent on the robust generation of definitive hematopoietic intermediates. Early WNT activation with CHIR99021 during mesoderm induction promoted the formation of KDR+ ALDH1A2+ mesodermal progenitors and subsequent generation of T cells in a retinoic acid (RA)-dependent manner. Integrated scRNA-seq and ATAC-seq defined a WNT-dependent developmental trajectory from hPSCs to KDR+ ALDH1A2+ mesoderm. Gene regulatory network modeling predicted HDAC2 and E-box transcription factors as regulators of RA-responsive mesodermal differentiation downstream of WNT. HDAC2 knockout impaired, while HDAC2 overexpression enhanced, KDR+ ALDH1A2+ progenitor formation. E-box factor manipulation had no discernible effect. An orthogonal chemical screen confirmed that HDAC2 inhibition suppressed KDR+ ALDH1A2+ mesodermal progenitors, whereas modulating histone methylation enhanced their formation. These findings reveal mechanisms by which WNT signaling promotes RA-responsive mesoderm and suggest methods to improve the generation of lymphocytes from hPSCs.

Comparative proteomic analysis revealed complex responses to Bordetella bronchiseptica infections in spleen in rabbits

Project description:Thirty five-week-old healthy Newzealand meet rabbits were used for bacteria infection. Bb infections were performed as the following: Finally, the dosage was 4.6×109CFU, and the ear vein was used in rabbits in the challenge group. Blood samples were collected for anticoagulant blood cell assay and serum isolation and preservation at 7 days after challenge. Six rabbits in the attack group died 10 days after the attack. All rabbits were euthanatized at the end of the experiment. Nine of the rabbits in each group were taken for spleen extraction.

Accumulation of acylcarnitines and mitochondrial dysfunction characterize the loss of neonatal myocardial regeneration capacity

Project description:Myocardial regeneration capacity declines during the first week after birth and is linked to the adaptation to oxidative metabolism. Utilizing this regenerative window, we characterized the metabolic changes in myocardial injury in 1-day-old regeneration-competent and 7-day-old regeneration-compromised mice. The mice were either sham-operated or received left anterior descending coronary artery ligation, to induce myocardial infarction (MI) and acute ischemic heart failure. Myocardial tissue samples were collected after 21 days for metabolomics, transcriptomics and proteomics analyses. Phenotypic characterizations were carried out using echocardiography, histology as well as mitochondrial structural and functional measurements. By integrating the findings from metabolome and transcriptome examinations, we identified mitochondrial dysfunction at the level of the carnitine shuttle contributing to myocardial regeneration incompetence. Regeneration failure was linked to accumulation of acylcarnitines and insufficient metabolic capacity for fatty acid beta-oxidation. We further identified specific transcription factors and post-transcriptional regulation contributing to both regeneration competence and failure. Rather than shifting from the preferred myocardial oxidative fuel source, our results put forward the facilitation of mitochondrial fatty acid transport and improving the beta- oxidation pathway to overcome the metabolic barriers for repair and regeneration in adult mammals after MI and heart failure.
