Project description:Type 2 Diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome are pathologies impacting a large population worldwide where insulin resistance plays a central role. These pathologies are usually associated to a dysregulation of insulin secretion leading to a chronic exposure of the tissues to high insulin levels (i.e. hyperinsulinemia) what diminishes the concentration of key downstream elements causing insulin resistance. The complexity of the study of insulin resistance relies on the heterogeneity of the metabolic states where itM-bM-^@M-^Ys observed. In consequence, animal models for the study of insulin resistance, can not completely recapitulate the metabolic status of insulin resistant humans, what is translated in contradictory observations. To contribute to the understanding of the mechanisms triggering insulin resistance we have developed a zebrafish model to study insulin metabolism and its associated disorders. Zebrafish embryos appeared to be sensitive to human recombinant insulin, becoming insulin resistant when exposed to a high dose of the hormone, as confirmed by glucose measurements. Moreover RNAseq-based transcriptomic profiling of these embryos revealed a strong down regulation of a number of immune relevant genes as a consequences of the exposure to hyperinsulinemia. Interestingly, as an exception, the negative immune modulator ptpn6 appeared to be up regulated in insulin resistant embryos. Knockdown of ptpn6 showed to counteract the observed down regulation of the immune system and insulin signalling pathways effects at the transcriptional level caused by hyperinsulinemia. These results show that ptpn6 is a mediator of the metabolic switch between insulin sensitive and insulin resistant states. Our zebrafish model for hyperinsulinemia has therefore demonstrated it suitability to discover novel regulators of insulin resistance. In addition, our data will be very useful to further study the function of immunological determinants in a non-obese model system. 16 samples in total were analyzed. 4 replicates from control samples (injected with PBS) and 4 replicates of insulin injected samples at 0.5 hpi and 4 hpi. In each sample 10 embryos were pooled.

Project description:The exon junction complex (EJC) is composed of three core proteins Rbm8a, Magoh and Eif4a3 and is thought to play a role in several post-transcriptional processes. In this study we focus on understanding the role of EJC in zebrafish development. We identified transcriptome-wide binding sites of EJC in zebrafish via RNA:protein immunoprecipitation followed by deep sequencing (RIP-Seq). We find that, as in human cells, zebrafish EJC is deposited about 24 nts upstream of exon-exon junctions. We also identify transcripts regulated by Rbm8a and Magoh in zebrafish embryos using whole embryo RNA-seq from rbm8a mutant, magoh mutant and wild-type sibling embryos. This study shows that nonsense mediated mRNA decay is dysregulated in zebrafish EJC mutants.

Project description:The protein-tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1 (PTPN6) is an important glucose homeostasis modulator. Besides negatively regulating insulin signaling, the specific role of SHP-1 in metabolic control remains poorly understood. We show that SHP-1 acts as a co-activator for transcription of the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (PCK1) gene, thereby modulating basal gluconeogenesis in hepatocytes. SHP-1 interacts with RNA polymerase II-subunits and signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5), and localizes to the nucleus, where a sub-fraction of SHP-1 associates with chromatin. While SHP-1 binds to the PCK1-promoter, its loss affects RNA polymerase II-recruitment to this and other promoters of genes enriched for glucose metabolism-related functions. SHP-1-downregulation, and similarly STAT5 pharmacological inhibition reduce PCK1-transcript levels correlating with blunted gluconeogenesis. Overall, we identified a novel molecular SHP-1-function, that of a regulator of PCK1-transcription and subsequently hepatic gluconeogenesis, through physical interaction with the transcription machinery, mediated by an Akt-independent mechanism, but independent of STAT5 tyrosine-phosphorylation status.

Project description:Purpose: Construction of 3D zebrafish spatial transcriptomics data for studying the establishment of AP axis. Methods: We performed serial bulk RNA-seq data of zebrafish embryo at three development points. Using the published spatial transcriptomics data as references, we implemented Palette to infer spatial gene expression from bulk RNA-seq data and constructed 3D embryonic spatial transcriptomics. The constructed 3D transcriptomics data was then projected on zebrafish embryo images with 3D coordinates, establishing a spatial gene expression atlas named Danio rerio Asymmetrical Maps (DreAM). Results: DreAM provides a powerful platform for visualizing gene expression patterns on zebrafish morphology and investigating spatial cell-cell interactions. Conclusions: Our work used DreAM to explore the establishment of anteroposterior (AP) axis, and identified multiple morphogen gradients that played essential roles in determining cell AP positions. Finally, we difined a hox score, and comprehensively demonstrated the spatial collinearity of Hox genes at single-cell resolution during development.

Project description:Humans and animals have problems producing eggs with high embryo developmental competence, but the causes of poor egg quality are usually unknown. This study delivered the first proteomic portraits of egg quality in zebrafish, a leading model for vertebrate development. Egg batches of good and poor quality, evidenced by embryo survival for 24 h, were used to create pooled or replicated sample sets subjected to different levels of fractionation before LC-MS/MS. Obtained spectra were searched against a custom zebrafish proteome database and detected proteins were annotated, categorized and quantified based on their normalized spectral counts. Manual and automated enrichment analyses were highly confirmative, showing that good and poor quality eggs have disparate proteomes. Proteins involved in protein synthesis, energy metabolism, and lipid metabolism, and certain vitellogenin products were strikingly underrepresented in poor quality eggs. Poor quality eggs also had significantly higher representation of proteins related to immune system and endosome/lysosome functioning, oncogenes, and apoptosis, as well as lectins and egg envelope proteins. Quantitative comparisons of highly abundant proteins revealed 9 candidate egg quality markers warranting further study. In conclusion, the zebrafish egg proteome appears to be linked to embryo developmental potential, a phenomenon that begs further investigation.
