Glass promotes the differentiation of both neuronal and non-neuronal cells in the Drosophila eye

ABSTRACT: Multiple cell types can be specified from a single pool of progenitors through the combinatorial activity of transcriptional regulators, which activate distinct developmental programs to establish different cell fates. The zinc finger transcription factor Glass is required for neuronal progenitors in the Drosophila eye imaginal disc to acquire a photoreceptor identity. Glass is also expressed in non-neuronal cone and pigment cells, but its role in these cells is unknown. To examine how Glass activity is affected by the cellular context, we misexpressed it in different tissues. When expressed in neuroblasts of the larval brain or in epithelial cells of the wing disc, Glass activated both a common core set of target genes and distinct gene sets specific to each tissue. In addition to photoreceptor-specific genes, Glass induced markers of cone and pigment cells. Cell type-specific glass mutations generated in cone or pigment cells using somatic CRISPR revealed autonomous developmental defects, and expressing Glass specifically in these cells partially rescued glass mutant phenotypes. Glass thus acts in both neuronal and non-neuronal cells to promote their differentiation into functional components of the eye, suggesting that it is a determinant of organ identity.

RNA-seq in wild-type and glass mutant eye-antennal discs in Drosophila melanogaster

Tag-seq in eye-antennal and wing imaginal discs of D.melanogaster, D.yakuba, and D.virilis; RNA-seq in wild-type and glass mutant D.melanogaster eye-antennal imaginal discs.

Project description:In this study we use Tag-sequencing in eye-antennal and wing imaginal discs across Drosophila species to determine a set of conserved eye-specific developmental genes. Next, we perform motif discovery analysis using the tool i-cisTarget, to depict the core gene developmental network underlying compound eye photoreceptor. The Glass position weight matrix appears as the most highly overrepresented motif, thus positioning Glass as a master regulator in compound eye photoreceptor development. Differential gene expression analysis by RNA-seq in D.melanogaster wild-type eye-antennal versus glass mutant [gl 60j] shows that the majority of our predicted Glass targets show strong downregulation in the glass mutant. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.

A Single Cell Genomics Atlas of the Drosophila Larval Eye Reveals Distinct Developmental Timelines and Novel Markers for All Photoreceptor Subtypes

Project description:The Drosophila eye is a powerful model system to study the dynamics of cell differentiation, cell state transitions, cell maturation, and pattern formation. However, a high-resolution single cell genomics resource that accurately profiles all major cell types of the larval eye disc and their spatiotemporal relationships is lacking. Here, we report transcriptomic and chromatin accessibility data for all known cell types in the developing eye. Photoreceptors appear as strands of cells that represent dynamic developmental timelines. Photoreceptor subtypes are transcriptionally distinct when they begin to differentiate, but then appear to assume a common transcriptome as they mature. We identify novel cell type maturation genes, enhancers, and potential regulators, as well as genes with distinct R3 or R4 photoreceptor specific expression. Finally, we observe that photoreceptor chromatin accessibility is more permissive than non-neuronal lens-secreting cone cells, which show a more restrictive chromatin profile. These single cell genomics atlases will greatly enhance the power of the Drosophila eye as a model system.

RNA-seq in wild-type and glass mutant eye-antennal discs in Drosophila melanogaster

Project description:The aim of this data set is to perform a differential expression analysis between wild type eye-antennal imaginal disc and discs that are homozygous glass mutant gl[60j]. This data set is used to validate Glass target gene predictions identified by i-cisTarget on a set of conserved eye-specific genes. RNA-seq was performed in eye-antennal imaginal discs of two D.melanogaster wild-type strains (Canton S and strain RAL-208 (Jordan et al. 2007, Ayroles et al. 2009)), representing two biological replicates; and in glass mutant (gl[60j]) discs for two technical replicates.

Eye imaginal disc development

Project description:Coordinating cell proliferation and differentiation is essential during organogenesis. In Drosophila, the photoreceptor, pigment and support cells of the eye are specified in an orchestrated wave as the morphogenetic furrow passes across the eye imaginal disc. Cells anterior of the furrow are uncommitted to cell type and remain mitotically active, while most cells in the furrow arrest at G1 and adopt specified ommatidial fates. We used microarray expression analysis to monitor changes in transcription at the furrow and identified genes whose expression correlates with either proliferation or fate specification.

The deubiquitinase Otud7b suppresses cone photoreceptor degeneration in mouse models of retinal degenerative diseases

Project description:Primary and secondary cone photoreceptor cell death in retinal degenerative diseases, including age-related macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa, leads to severe vision impairment and blindness. Regardless of the fact that protection of cone photoreceptor cells under stress conditions, such as retinal degenerative diseases, is crucial for maintaining vision, the underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear. Here, we investigated the function of the deubiquitinase Otud7b/Cezanne in the retina. We identified that Otud7b is predominantly expressed in photoreceptor cells in the mouse retina. While the ablation of Otud7b did not cause a significant defect in development and maturation of the mouse retina, Otud7b‒/‒ mice subjected to light-induced damage, which is one of the dry age-related macular degeneration models, exhibited increased cone photoreceptor degeneration. In addition, Otud7b deficiency in Mak‒/‒ mice, a retinitis pigmentosa mouse model, resulted in further cone photoreceptor degeneration. Moreover, neuronal cells deficient in Otud7b were susceptible to serum starvation, resulting in cell death. We found that NF-κB activity is increased in the Otud7b‒/‒ retinas exposed to light by RNA-sequencing analysis. Luciferase reporter assay also demonstrated increased NF-κB activation in Otud7b-deficient neuronal cells under stress. The neuronal cell death resulting from Otud7b deficiency was suppressed through the inhibition of NF-κB. Furthermore, we observed that inhibition of NF-κB attenuated cone photoreceptor degeneration in the light-exposed Otud7b‒/‒ retina. Together, the current study suggests that Otud7b deubiquitinase protects cone photoreceptor cells under stress conditions by modulating the NF-κB activity.

Comparison of wild-type and Mfsd2a KO eye cups

Project description:Eye photoreceptor membrane discs in outer rod segments are highly enriched in the visual pigment rhodopsin and the omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenote (DHA). The eye acquires DHA from blood, but transporters for DHA uptake across the blood-retinal barrier (BRB) or retinal pigment epithelium have not been identified. Mfsd2a is a newly described sodium-dependent lysophosphatidylcholine symporter expressed at the BRB. Microarrays were used to determine difference in gene expression between wild-type and Mfsd2a KO eye cups.
