Gene expression profiling of planarian heads or cephalic ganglia after inhibition of Hedgehog signaling pathway genes by RNAi

ABSTRACT: Hedgehog signaling is critical for vertebrate central nervous system (CNS) development, but its role in CNS biology in other organisms is poorly characterized. In the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea, hedgehog (hh) is expressed in medial cephalic ganglia neurons, suggesting a possible role in CNS maintenance or regeneration. We performed RNA sequencing of planarian brain tissue following RNAi of hh and the gene encoding its receptor, patched (ptc). We identified two misregulated genes, intermediate filament-1 (if-1) and calamari (cali), that are expressed in a previously unidentified non-neural CNS cell type. These cells expressed orthologs of astrocyte-associated genes involved in neurotransmitter uptake and metabolism, and extended processes enveloping regions of high synapse concentration. We conclude these are glia-like cells (GLCs). Planarian GLCs exist in two compartments with gene expression programs distinguished by Hh signaling. Planarian GLCs and their regulation by Hedgehog signaling present a novel tractable system for dissection of glia biology.

Identification of genes whose expression is affected by ptc + dpp double RNAi in spider embryos

Project description:In the spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum, Hedgehog (Hh) and Decapentaplegic (Dpp) signaling play key roles in the formation of the two major embryonic axes (Akiyama-Oda and Oda, 2010, Development 137, 1263-1273; Akiyama-Oda and Oda, 2006, Development 133, 2347-2357). Patched (Ptc), a receptor for Hh,functions as a negative regulator of Hh signaling. Double parental RNA interference (pRNAi) against spider homologs of ptc and dpp, Pt-ptc and Pt-dpp, respectively, results in severe defects in axis formation. In this microarray experiment, we attempted to identify candidate genes whose expressions are regulated by Hh and Dpp signaling during axis formation.

Genome-wide Identification of genes that transcriptionally respond to altered states of Hedgehog signaling in embryos of the spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum

Project description:Hedgehog signaling plays pivotal roles in formation of the embryonic anterior-posterior axis in the spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum. In this work, using the combination of RNA-sequencing and parental RNA interference (pRNAi), we genome-widely identified genes that transcriptionally responded to altered states of Hedgehog signaling in spider embryos, which were caused by Pt-hedgehog (Pt-hh) pRNAi and Pt-patched (Pt-ptc) pRNAi. The identified genes were classified into four classes (Classes I to IV) based on the positive/negative responses to the Pt-hh pRNAi and Pt-ptc pRNAi states. The Class II genes were negatively regulated by Hh signaling (positive response to Pt-hh pRNAi and negative response to Pt-ptc pRNAi). Among the Class II genes, we identified Pt-msx1 as a key segmentation gene in the spider embryo. Moreover, we conducted a transcriptomic analysis of Pt-msx1 pRNAi embryos and identified additional genes whose expression showed patterns associated with segmentation.

Gorlin syndrome-derived induced pluripotent stem cells are hypersensitive to Hedgehog-mediated osteogenic induction

Project description:Gorlin syndrome is an autosomal dominant inherited syndrome that predisposes a patient to the formation of basal cell carcinomas, odontogenic keratocysts, and skeletal anomalies. Patched-1 (PTCH1) is a Hedgehog (Hh) receptor that acts as a negative regulator of constitutive Hh signaling by preventing the G protein-coupled receptor Smoothened from entering the cilium in the absence of Hh protein binding. We generated iPSCs from four unrelated Gorlin syndrome patients with loss-of-function mutations in PTCH1 using the Sendai virus vector (SeVdp(KOSM)302). The patient-derived iPSCs exhibited basic iPSC features, including stem cell marker expression, totipotency, and the ability to form teratomas. To check the Patient-derived iPSCs mimic patinet phenotype, We performted osteoblast differentiation and checked mRNA expression by hedgehog PCR array systems.

Transcription profiling of mouse with Hedgehog-induced medulloblastoma reveals oncogenic Hedgehog signaling promotes medulloblastoma from lineage-restricted granule cell progenitors

Project description:Origins of the brain tumor, medulloblastoma, from stem cells or restricted pro-genitor cells are unclear. To investigate this, we activated oncogenic Hedgehog signaling in multipotent and lineage-restricted CNS progenitors. We observed that normal unipo-tent cerebellar granule neuron precursors (CGNP) derive from hGFAP+ and Olig2+ rhombic lip progenitors. Hedgehog activation in a spectrum of early and late stage CNS progenitors generated similar medulloblastomas, but not other brain cancers, indicating that acquisition of CGNP identity is essential for tumorigenesis. We show in human and mouse medulloblastoma that cells expressing the glia-associated markers Gfap and Olig2 are neoplastic and that they retain features of embryonic-type granule lineage progenitors. Thus, oncogenic Hedgehog signaling promotes medulloblastoma from lineage-restricted granule cell progenitors. Gene expression profiling of cerebellar tumors generated from various early and late stage CNS progenitor cells. Experiment Overall Design: Group comparisons with biological replicates

Next Generation Sequencing (RNA sequencing) of Wild Type and GLI1 knock-out CUTLL1 childhood T lymphoblastic lymphoma cell line

Project description:T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a highly malignant pediatric leukemia, where few therapeutic options are available for patients which relapse. The evolutionarily conserved Hedgehog (Hh) pathway plays a crucial role in patterning and organogenesis during early development, in adult tissue maintenance and repairing functions. Once Hh ligands bind to PTCH1/2 on target cells, the inhibition of Patched proteins for Smo is relieved. Smo translocates to the primary cilium and leads to the breakdown of a protein complex formed by Suppressor of Fused (SUFU) and GLI proteins. GLI transcription factors (GLI1-3) are released and translocate to the nucleus, initiating transcription of Hh target genes. GLI2 and GLI3 have transcriptional activation and repression properties, while GLI1 is a strong positive regulator of Hh transcriptional targets. In T-ALL rare hedgehog pathway mutations have been observed and approximately 20% of T-ALL cases present with ectopic expression of Hh pathway ligands and GLI1. However, the function of Hh signaling and in particular GLI transcription factors in T-ALL initiation and/or tumor progression is not well-known. RNA sequencing was performed in the CUTLL1 T-ALL cell line after knocking out GLI1 gene using CRISPR/Cas9 system.
