Upregulated Hedgehog Signaling Promotes Zebrafish CNS Tumorigenesis

ABSTRACT: Using a cytokeratin 5 gene promoter, we ectopically expressed a constitutively active zebrafish smoothened (smoa1) in presumably glial progenitor cells of zebrafish CNS. Stable transgenic zebrafish developed retinal tumors and low grade glioma of the optic nerve. Microarray analysis showed upregulation of Hh downstream targets of ptc1, gli1 and gli2a in tumors. Immunofluorescence studies confirmed overexpression of Pax2, GFAP, S100 and Sox2, specifically in gliomas. We also detected upregulated expression of phosphorylated pRb and Mdm2 associated with gliomagenesis. Our results suggest that dysregulated Hh signaling initiates tumorigenesis in zebrafish CNS. Zebrafish optic nerve maintains phosphorylated pRb expression, therefore provides a unique niche for pathogenesis of glioma.

RNAs from 4 gross eye tumors (from fish of 4 months of age) and 4 normal eyes from wil-type control fish were extracted and used for array analysis

Differential gene expression in Danio rerio during optic nerve regeneration

Project description:To gain a better understanding of the factors necessary for successful CNS regeneration, a temporal analysis of the changes in gene expression in the eye caused by optic nerve injury was conducted. Dual color oligonucleotide microarrays were used to compare total RNA harvested from the eyes of sham-operated and optic nerve-injured fish at 3, 24, and 168 hours following surgery. Optic nerve injured fish are compared to sham-operated fish in order to eliminate gene expression due to non-neuronal damage and inflammatory response. Statistical analyses identified 131 genes with a 2.0-fold or greater difference in expression. Wild type zebrafish were obtained from a local pet store. Optic nerve injury was conducted using a severing model accomplished as follows. Zebrafish were anesthetized in 0.2% MS-222 dissolved in tank water. The muscles surrounding the eye were cut and the eye angled rostrally to expose the nerve. The optic nerve was then severed using microsissors without damaging the ophthalmic artery. In sham operated fish the muscles surrounding the eye were severed but the nerve was not damaged. RNA was extracted from the eye at three time points following surgery 3 hours, 24 hours, and 168 hours. RNA was pooled from multiple fish to achieve 10 ug total RNA. Samples were collected in triplicate per time point. Gene expression was analyzed on a dual color oligonucleotide array where the optic nerve injured fish were compared to sham-operated fish. Four samples of RNA were also collected from control fish and compared to each other on the microarray to confirm that processing did not create expression differences.

Integrated analyses of zebrafish miRNA and mRNA expression profiles identify miR-29b and miR-223 as potential regulators of optic nerve regeneration

Project description:We used microarrays to analyse expression profiles of zebrafish retina after optic nerve crush to identify potential regulatory mechanisms that underpin central nerve regeneration Total RNA extracted from 4 samples (pooling 4 animals) of Zebrafish retinae after performing optic nerve crush (at day 3 post crush) vs 4 samples (pooling 4 animals) of control (unoperated) Zebrafish retinae

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).

Expression data from P4 and P10 mouse optic nerves

Expression data from P4 and P10 mouse optic nerves

Project description:Optic nerves are an accessible part of the CNS, providing a source of glia without the presence of neuronal cell bodies. Therefore, an analysis was carried out of gene expression in optic nerves at P4, before myelination begins and at P10, when myelination is very actively proceeding. The goal was to obtain a profile of the changing gene expression that accompanies this transition from unmyelinated CNS nerve to myelinated nerve. Two microarray experiments were combined here. In the first, RNA was prepared from the optic nerves of 75 P4 C57BL/6J mice and 70 P10 C57BL/6J mice. In the second experiment, RNA was prepared from the optic nerves of 55 P4 C57BL/6J mice and two groups of 50 P10 C57Bl/6J mice. In total, there are 2 P4 RNA samples and 3 P10 RNA samples being hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip 430A for Mouse Expression.

Zebrafish Optic Nerve Regeneration Metabolomics - 3 Days Post Crush

Project description:Zebrafish (Danio Rerio) have the capacity for successful adult optic nerve regeneration. In contrast, mammals lack this intrinsic ability and undergo irreversible neurodegeneration seen in glaucoma and other optic neuropathies. Optic nerve regeneration is often studied using optic nerve crush, a mechanical neurodegenerative model. Untargeted metabolomic studies within successful regenerative models are deficient. Evaluation of tissue metabolomic changes in active zebrafish optic nerve regeneration can elucidate prioritized metabolite pathways that can be targeted in mammalian systems for therapeutic development. Female and male (6 month to 1 year old) right Zebrafish (Tg(gap43:GFP)) optic nerves were crushed and collected three days after. Contralateral, uninjured optic nerves were collected as controls. The tissue was dissected from euthanized fish and frozen on dry ice. Samples were pooled for each category (female crush, female control, male crush, male control) and pooled at n = 31 to obtain sufficient metabolite concentrations for analysis. Optic nerve regeneration was verified by microscope visualization of GFP fluorescence. Metabolites were extracted using a Precellys Homogenizer and a serial extraction method: (1) 1:1 Methanol/Water and (2) 8:1:1 Acetonitrile/Methanol/Acetone. Metabolites were analyzed by untargeted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC MS-MS) profiling using a Q-Exactive Orbitrap instrument coupled with Vanquish Horizon Binary UHPLC LC-MS system. Metabolites were identified and quantified using Compound Discoverer 3.3 and isotopic internal metabolites standards.
