Systematic Identification of Genes Involved in Feather Regeneration in Wanxi-White Goose

ABSTRACT: Regeneration is one of the key factors affecting downy feather production. However, the signals and molecular controlling the progression of feather regeneration was poorly understood. We used a high density microarray to profile the temporal transcriptome dynamics during the regeneration periods. A total of 3540 genes expressed differentially with significant fold changes during feather regeneration. Cluster analysis revealed event specific dynamic expression of genes related to cell cycling, cell migration, cell proliferation, follicle re-growth and fiber elongation. These clusters involved functional clusters like regulation of actin cytoskeleton, focal adhesion and sphingolipid metabolism, and enriched signaling pathways like Wnt signaling pathway, MAPK pathway and TGFβ signaling pathway. In cell cycling, mainly involved genes were cyclin B3, cyclin Y. In TGFβ signaling pathway, mainly involved genes were TGFβ3, BMP7, NOG and BMP2. While Wnt5a, Wnt10a, FZD2, and FZD10 were involved in canonical Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Our study provides a comprehensive genetic blue print of diverse cellular responses during regeneraton of goose feather. The data provide an initial step towards a better understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying feather regeneration process and also suggest that signals or molecular participated in feather regeneration was quite different from the generation of hair in mammals.

Project description:Cardiovascular diseases are a major cause of life-threatening burden around the world. The heart has a very low regeneration capacity and donor organs for transplantation are scarce. Therefore regeneration of lost myocardium with stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (CMs) provides an attractive strategy for heart repair. Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) can be efficiently differentiated in vitro into CMs but the molecular mechanisms behind this process are still not fully understood. In particular identification of secreted autocrine and/or paracrine factors that function as important extrinsic signals remained elusive because the mass spectrometry (MS)-based identification of secreted proteins from cell culture supernatants is impeded by high levels of albumin present in common differentiation media. Thus we established an albumin-free cardiomyogenic differentiation medium and performed secretomics at seven different time points during in vitro differentiation. This analysis led to the identification of 4832 proteins with 1802 being significantly altered during differentiation and 431 of these were annotated as secreted according to gene ontology. Bioinformatics revealed enrichment of extrinsic Wnt pathway-related proteins 3 days upon induction of differentiation and of extracellular matrix proteins in the resulting CMs. Numerous extrinsic components of Wnt, Activin A, Nodal, TGFβ, BMP or FGF signaling pathways were quantitatively assessed during differentiation. Notably, the abundance of pathway agonists was generally lower compared to the respective antagonists but their curves of progression over timer were rather similar. We hypothesize that Activin A, Nodal and TGFβ signaling are turned down shortly upon initiation of cardiac differentiation whereas BMP signaling is switched on. Wnt and FGF signaling peaks between d0 and d3 of differentiation and interestingly, Activin A and TGFβ signaling seem to be reactivated at the cardiac progenitor stages and/or in early CMs.
