Identification of downstream targets of zebrafish Hoxb1a

ABSTRACT: Despite 30 years of Hox gene study we have a remarkably limited knowledge of the downstream target genes that Hox transcription factors regulate to confer regional identity. Here, we have used a microarray approach to identify genes that function downstream of a single vertebrate Hox gene, zebrafish hoxb1a. This gene plays a critical and conserved role in vertebrate hindbrain development, conferring identity to hindbrain rhombomere 4. For example, zebrafish Hoxb1a, similar to mouse Hoxb1, is required for the migration of r4-derived facial branchiomotor neurons into the posterior hindbrain. We have screened microarrays carrying more than 16,000 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) for genes that are differentially regulated in normal versus Hoxb1a-deficient rhombomere 4 tissue. Using this approach, we have identified both positively and negatively regulated candidate Hoxb1a target genes. We have used in situ hybridization to validate twelve positively regulated Hoxb1a targets. These downstream targets are expressed in a variety of subdomains within r4, with one gene, a novel prickle homolog (pk1b), expressed specifically within the facial branchiomotor neurons. Using morpholino knock-down we show that the Hoxb1a target Pk1b is required for facial neuron migration, a single aspect of rhombomere 4 identity.

Transcription profiling of mouse Hoxb1 mutant mRNA levels in rhombomere 4 at E10.5

Project description:Hoxb1 is required for proper specification of rhombomere 4 and the facial motor neurons. This study analyzed gene expression in the corresponding hindbrain segment of E10.5 mutant embryos. Several genetic pathways were found altered, including transcription factors such as Phox2b, Gata3, Nkx2-2 and Nkx6-1. Experiment Overall Design: Each of the three mutant and control samples was an independent biological replicate. Pools of r4 segments from multiple embryos were snap frozen on dry ice and stored at -80ÂºC. Total RNA was isolated, processed with standard Affymetrix protocols and hybridized to GeneChip Mouse Expression Sets 430A.

scMultiome analysis identifies embryonic hindbrain progenitors with mixed rhombomere identities

Project description:Rhombomeres serve to position neural progenitors in the embryonic hindbrain, thereby ensuring appropriate neural circuit formation, but the molecular identities of individual rhombomeres and the mechanism whereby they form have not been fully established. Here we apply scMultiome analysis in zebrafish to molecularly resolve all rhombomeres for the first time. We find that rhombomeres become molecularly distinct between 10hpf (end of gastrulation) and 13hpf (early segmentation). While the mature hindbrain consists of alternating odd- versus even-type rhombomeres, our scMultiome analyses do not detect extensive odd versus even characteristics in the early hindbrain. Instead, we find that each rhombomere displays a unique gene expression and chromatin profile. Prior to the appearance of distinct rhombomeres, we detect three hindbrain progenitor clusters (PHPDs) that correlate with the earliest visually observed segments in the hindbrain primordium and that represent prospective rhombomere r2/r3 (possibly including r1), r4 and r5/r6, respectively. We further find that the PHPDs form in response to Fgf and RA morphogens and that individual PHPD cells co-express markers of multiple mature rhombomeres. We propose that the PHPDs contain mixed-identity progenitors and that their subdivision into individual mature rhombomeres requires resolution of these mixed-identity cell states.

Single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) on mouse embryonic cranial motor neurons and surrounding tissue from wildtype and HCFP1 cRE1dup/+ mice.

Project description:We found hereditary congenital facial paralysis type 1 (HCFP1) is caused by variants that duplicate or change cis regulatory elements (cREs) controlling the neuronal expression of the GATA2 transcription factor. We generated an HCFP1 mouse model in which tandem copies of the human version of a GATA2 regulatory element we term cRE1 were inserted proximal to the mouse cRE1 (cRE1dup/+; hg19: chr3:128,175,708-128,176,563). We report the use of single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) for transcriptomic analysis of developing rhombomere 4(r4)-derived wild type (WT) and cRE1dup/+ facial branchial motor neurons (FBMNs) and inner ear efferent neurons (IEEs), as well as surrounding tissue, from embryos aged 9.5-12.5 post coitus (E9.5-12.5).

Generation of caudal-type serotonin neurons and hindbrain fate organoids from hPSCs

Project description:Serotonin (5-HT) neurons, the major components of the raphe nuclei, arise from ventral hindbrain progenitors. Based on the anatomical location and axonal projection, 5-HT neurons are coarsely divided into rostral and caudal groups. Here, we propose a novel strategy to generate hindbrain 5-HT neurons from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), which involves the formation of ventral-type neural progenitor cells (NPCs) and stimulation of the hindbrain 5-HT neural development. A caudalizing agent, retinoid acid (RA), was used to direct the cells into the hindbrain cell fate. Approximately 30-40% of hPSCs successfully developed into 5-HT-expressing neurons using our protocol, with the majority acquiring a caudal rhombomere identity (r5-8). We further modified our monolayer differentiation system to generate 5-HT neuron-enriched hindbrain-like organoids. We have also suggested downstream applications of our 5-HT monolayer and organoid cultures to study neuronal response to gut microbiota. Our methodology could become a powerful tool for future studies related to 5-HT neurotransmission.

Transcription profiling of mouse rhombomere 4 at E10.5 from knockins of Hoxb1 gene expressing Hox-A1 protein

Project description:This study analyzed mRNA profiles in rhombomere 4 of E10.5 mouse knock-in embryos expressing either normal endogenous Hox-B1 protein or the paralogous Hox-A1 protein from the Hoxb1 locus. The Hox-A1 protein was found to be detectably less efficacious than Hox-B1 in promoting neurogenesis in the basal plate of rhombomere 4 and its transcriptional profile shared several similarities with the Hoxb1 mutant. Experiment Overall Design: GFP-positive cells were FACS-sorted from dissected hindbrains of entire litters of E10.5 mouse embryos expressing either normal endogenous Hox-B1 protein or the paralogous Hox-A1 protein from the Hoxb1 locus, either one tagged with IRES-tauGFP. Three independent biological replicates of each genotype were analyzed. Total RNA was isolated, amplified and hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Arrays.

Axial skeleton anterior-posterior patterning is regulated through feedback regulation between Meis and retinoic acid

Project description:Vertebrate axial skeletal patterning is controlled by coordinated collinear expression of Hox genes and axial level-dependent activity of Hox protein combinations. Transcription factors of the Meis family act as cofactors of Hox proteins and profusely bind to Hox complex DNA, however their roles in mammalian axial patterning have not been established. Similarly, retinoic acid (RA) is known to regulate axial skeletal element identity through the transcriptional activity of its receptors, however whether this role is related to Meis/Hox regulation or functions in axial patterning remains unknown. Here we study the role of Meis factors in axial skeleton formation and its relationship to the RA pathway by characterizing Meis1, Meis2 and Raldh2 mutant mice. We report that Meis and Raldh2 regulate each other in a positive feedback regulatory loop that controls axial skeletal identity. Meis elimination produces homeotic transformations similar to those found in Raldh2 and anterior-Hox mutants and disrupts the expression of Hox target genes without changing the transcriptional profiles of Hox complexes. We propose that Meis regulates vertebrate axial skeleton patterning by exclusively affecting Hox protein function, and that alterations in RA levels can produce homeotic transformations without altering Hox transcription through regulating Meis expression.

Etv1 controls the establishment of non-overlapping motor innervation of neighboring facial muscles during development

Project description:The motor neurons innervating the muscles of facial expression are organized into somatotopic hindbrain clusters termed subnuclei. Each of the medial, intermediate, dorsolateral, and lateral subnuclei gives rise to a specific branch of the facial motor nerve (cranial nerve VII). How subnucleus-specific gene expression could mediate the accurate development of facial nerve projections was not well understood. We isolated specific facial motor subnuclei from E16.5 hindbrain cryosections using laser capture microdissection, purified the total RNA and analyzed it on Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays.
