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 wild type) right zebrafish 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 at 3 days post crush was demonstrated by microscope visualization of GFP fluorescence in Tg(gap43:GFP) transgenic fish. 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.

Project description:To elucidate the lipidomic and metabolomic alterations associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) pathogenesis, we utilized cmybpc3-/- zebrafish model. Fatty acid profiling revealed variability of 10 fatty acids profiles, with heterozygous (HT) and homozygous (HM) groups exhibiting distinct patterns. Hierarchical cluster analysis and multivariate analyses demonstrated a clear separation of HM from HT and control (CO) groups related to cardiac remodeling. Lipidomic profiling identified 257 annotated lipids, with two significantly dysregulated between CO and HT, and 59 between HM and CO. Acylcarnitines and phosphatidylcholines were identified as key contributors to group differentiation, suggesting a shift in energy source. Untargeted metabolomics revealed 110 and 53 significantly dysregulated metabolites. Pathway enrichment analysis highlighted perturbations in multiple metabolic pathways in the HM group, including nicotinate, nicotinamide, purine, glyoxylate, dicarboxylate, glycerophospholipid, pyrimidine, and amino acid metabolism. Our study provides comprehensive insights into the lipidomic and metabolomic unique signatures associated with cmybpc3-/- induced HCM in zebrafish. The identified biomarkers and dysregulated pathways shed light on the metabolic perturbations underlying HCM pathology, offering potential targets for further investigation and potential new therapeutic interventions.

Project description:Hspb8 is a member of the small heat shock protein (sHSP) family. Its expression is known to be upregulated under heat shock. This protein interacts with different partners and can, therefore, be involved in various processes relevant to tissue integrity and functioning. In humans, mutations in the gene encoding Hspb8 can lead to the development of various diseases such as myopathies and neuropathies. In our study, we aimed to perform an in-depth characterization of zebrafish Hspb8 during zebrafish development. We applied techniques such as RT-qPCR, Western blot, immunofluorescence, co-immunoprecipitation, LC-MS, and morpholino-mediated knockdown. We broadened the knowledge regarding zebrafish hspb8 expression during development under normal and heat shock conditions as well as its tissue- and subcellular-specific localization. A co-IP analysis allowed us to conclude that zebrafish Hspb8 can interact with proteins such as Bag3 and Hsc70, which are crucial for formation of an autophagy-inducing complex. We also demonstrated that hspb8 morpholino-mediated knockdown has an impact on zebrafish embryos' morphology, muscle ultrastructure, and motility behavior. Our research provides a valuable resource for the potential use of the zebrafish as a model for studying pathological conditions associated with hspb8 disorders.

Project description:The present study aims to investigate the metabolic effects of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) on zebrafish (Danio rerio) using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy. However, there is no significant information available regarding the characterization of organic molecules, and metabolites with SWCNT exposure. Noninvasive biofluid methods have improved our understanding of SWCNT metabolism in zebrafish in recent years. Here, we used targeted metabolomics to quantify a set of metabolites within biological systems. SWCNT at various concentrations was given to zebrafish, and the metabolites were extracted using two immiscible solvent systems, methanol and chloroform. Metabolomics profiling was used in association with univariate and multivariate data analysis to determine metabolomic phenotyping. The metabolites, malate, oxalacetate, phenylaniline, taurine, sn-glycero-3-phosphate, glycine, N-acetyl mate, lactate, ATP, AMP, valine, pyruvate, ADP, serine, niacinamide are significantly impacted. The metabolism of amino acids, energy and nucleotides are influenced by SWCNT which might indicate a disturbance in metabolic reaction networks. In conclusion, using high-throughput analytical methods, we provide a perspective of metabolic impacts and the underlying associated metabolic pathways.

Project description:In order to identify how MnTE-2-PyP affects p300 association to chromatin genome-wide, we performed a p300 chromatin Immunoprecipitation assay followed by Next Generation Sequencing on PC3 cells treated with or without MnTE-2-PyP one hour post-irradiation (Figure 3A). Based on the called peaks near genes, we predicted that HIF-1βand CREB transcription factors were associating DNA less in the presence of MnTE-2-PyP. DNA was ChIP-Fixed from Pc3 cells treated with 20 Gy radiation and with and without T2E drug. There are 2 biological replicates of PC3 untreated cells and 3 biological replicates of PC3 cells treated with MnTE-2-PyP. There are two corresponding input samples for the biological replicates.

Project description:During development, the inherited DNA methylation patterns from the parental gametes needs to be remodeled into a state compatible with embryonic pluripotency. In Zebrafish, this remodeling is achieved by the maternal methylome becoming hypomethylated to match the paternal methylome. However, how this is achieved in medaka (another teleost fish) is currently not known. Moreover, how DNA methylation remodeling is impacted in hybrid organisms, and the effects this may have on their development, is also not known. Here we address these questions by generation whole genome bisulfite sequencing data for zebrafish, medaka and zebrafish medaka embryos.

Project description:Zebrafish have emerged as a powerful model system to study leukocyte recruitment and inflammation. Here we characterize the morphology and function of inflammatory macrophages in zebrafish larvae. These macrophages can be distinguished from neutrophils by immunolabeling of L-Plastin without MPO co-expression and by an elongated morphology. Live imaging of transgenic zMPO:GFP larvae demonstrate that GFP(lo) macrophages migrate to wounds by extension of thin pseudopods and carry out phagocytosis of tissue debris, and FACS analysis of leukocyte markers indicates expression of CSF1R in these macrophages. These findings identify distinct functional and morphological characteristics of inflammatory macrophages in zebrafish larvae.

Project description:BackgroundZebrafish may prove to be one of the best vertebrate models for innate immunology. These fish have sophisticated immune components, yet rely heavily on innate immune mechanisms. Thus, the development and characterization of mutant and/or knock out zebrafish are critical to help define immune cell and immune gene functions in the zebrafish model. The use of Severe Combined Immunodeficient (SCID) and recombination activation gene 1 and 2 mutant mice has allowed the investigation of the specific contribution of innate defenses in many infectious diseases. Similar zebrafish mutants are now being used in biomedical and fish immunology related research. This report describes the leukocyte populations in a unique model, recombination activation gene 1-/- mutant zebrafish (rag1 mutants).ResultsDifferential counts of peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) showed that rag1 mutants had significantly decreased lymphocyte-like cell populations (34.7%) compared to wild-types (70.5%), and significantly increased granulocyte populations (52.7%) compared to wild-types (17.6%). Monocyte/macrophage populations were similar between mutants and wild-types, 12.6% and 11.3%, respectively. Differential leukocyte counts of rag1 mutant kidney hematopoietic tissue showed a significantly reduced lymphocyte-like cell population (8%), a significantly increased myelomonocyte population (57%), 34.8% precursor cells, and 0.2% thrombocytes, while wild-type hematopoietic kidney tissue showed 29.4% lymphocytes/lymphocyte-like cells, 36.4% myelomonocytes, 33.8% precursors and 0.5% thrombocytes. Flow cytometric analyses of kidney hematopoietic tissue revealed three leukocyte populations. Population A was monocytes and granulocytes and comprised 34.7% of the gated cells in rag1 mutants and 17.6% in wild-types. Population B consisted of hematopoietic precursors, and comprised 50% of the gated cells for rag1 mutants and 53% for wild-types. Population C consisted of lymphocytes and lymphocyte-like cells and comprised 7% of the gated cells in the rag1 mutants and 26% in the wild-types. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays demonstrated rag1 mutant kidney hematopoietic tissue expressed mRNA encoding Non-specific Cytotoxic cell receptor protein-1 (NCCRP-1) and Natural Killer (NK) cell lysin but lacked T cell receptor (TCR) and immunoglobulin (Ig) transcript expression, while wild-type kidney hematopoietic tissue expressed NCCRP-1, NK lysin, TCR and Ig transcript expression.ConclusionOur study demonstrates that in comparison to wild-type zebrafish, rag1 mutants have a significantly reduced lymphocyte-like cell population that likely includes Non-specific cytotoxic cells (NCC) and NK cells (and lacks functional T and B lymphocytes), a similar macrophage/monocyte population, and a significantly increased neutrophil population. These zebrafish have comparable leukocyte populations to SCID and rag 1 and/or 2 mutant mice, that possess macrophages, natural killer cells and neutrophils, but lack T and B lymphocytes. Rag1 mutant zebrafish will provide the platform for remarkable investigations in fish and innate immunology, as rag 1 and 2 mutant mice did for mammalian immunology.

Project description:During the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT), transcriptionally silent embryos rely on post-transcriptional regulation of maternal mRNAs until zygotic genome activation (ZGA). RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are important regulators of post-transcriptional RNA processing events, yet their identities and functions during developmental transitions in vertebrates remain largely unexplored. Using mRNA interactome capture, we identified 227 RBPs in zebrafish embryos before and during ZGA, hereby named the zebrafish MZT mRNAbound proteome. This protein constellation consists of many conserved RBPs, with additional embryo- and stage-specific mRNA interactors that likely reflect the dynamics of RNA-protein interactions during MZT. The enrichment of numerous splicing factors like hnRNP proteins before ZGA was surprising, because maternal mRNAs were found to be fully spliced. To address potentially unique roles of RBPs in embryogenesis, we focused on hnRNP A1. iCLIP and subsequent mRNA reporter assays revealed a function for hnRNP A1 in the regulation of poly(A) tail length and translation of maternal mRNAs through sequence-specific association with 3’UTRs before ZGA. Comparison of iCLIP data from two developmental stages revealed that hnRNP A1 dissociates from maternal mRNAs at ZGA and instead regulates the nuclear processing of pri-miR-430 transcripts, which we validated experimentally. The shift from cytoplasmic to nuclear RNA targets was accompanied by a dramatic translocation of hnRNP A1 and other pre-mRNA splicing factors to the nucleus in a transcription-dependent manner. Thus, our study identifies global changes in RNA-protein interactions during vertebrate MZT and shows that hnRNP A1 RNA-binding activities are spatially and temporally coordinated to regulate RNA metabolism during early development.
