Project description:We applied Solexa sequencing technology to identify Amphioxus microRNA genes. We identified 113 amphioxus microRNA genes, 55 were conserved across species and coded for 45 nonredundant mature miRNAs, whereas 58 were amphioxus-specific and accounted for 53 mature miRNAs. Analyzing the evolutionary history of amphioxus miRNAs, we found amphioxus possessed many miRNAs that are also found in chordates and vertebrates, suggesting these miRNAs may represent cephalochordate lineage innovation. By detailed comparison of the miRNA phylogenetic histories, we further found that amphioxus is more vertebrate-like than tunicates. Keywords: Small RNA 18-30 nt small RNAs from 12 adult Chinese Amphioxus were sequenced in one Solexa lane.

Project description:The spatial and temporal control of Hox gene transcription is essential for patterning the vertebrate body axis. Although this process involves changes in histone posttranslational modifications, the existence of particular three-dimensional (3D) architectures remained to be assessed in vivo. Using high-resolution chromatin conformation capture methodology, we examined the spatial configuration of Hox clusters in embryonic mouse tissues where different Hox genes are active. When the cluster is transcriptionally inactive, Hox genes associate into a single 3D structure delimited from flanking regions. Once transcription starts, Hox clusters switch to a bimodal 3D organization where newly activated genes progressively cluster into a transcriptionally active compartment. This transition in spatial configurations coincides with the dynamics of chromatin marks, which label the progression of the gene clusters from a negative to a positive transcription status. This spatial compartmentalization may be key to process the collinear activation of these compact gene clusters. Examination of gene expression in 3 cell types. Examination of 2 different histone modifications in 2 cell types.

Project description:Recently, amphioxus has served as a model for studying the origin and evolution of vertebrate immunity. However, little is known about how microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the immune defense in amphioxus. In this article, we identified the amphioxus miRNAs in the acute-phase response to Lipopolysaccharide (LPS). First, we determined the time point for the peak of immune response in amphioxus after LPS challenge by evaluating the expression of TLR4 and NF-κb(v-rel) which were commonly used immune response indicators. Then we performed miRNA microarray analysis on gill samples collected at the time point to select the differentially expressed miRNAs. Finally, we used real-time quantitative PCR to detect the expression patterns of amphioxus miRNAs under effective LPS challenge during the time course. The microarray data revealed that the miRNA expression file was significantly changed after LPS stimulation. The changes of the most upregulated and most downregualted miRNAs in gills of the amphioxus following challenge with LPS revealed a temporal induction kinetic. Our current study will provide valuable information to take an insight into molecular mechanism of innate immune and the evolution of the miRNA family.

Project description:The amphioxus, as a simple basal chordate model, plays an important and unique role on providing insights into the evolution of tissues and organs of the vertebrates. To understand the unique features of the amphioxus during evolution, it’s important to identify the gene and microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles of amphioxus tissues or organs. However, the systematic examination of these expression profiles is not conducted. Here, we focused on characterizing the miRNA expression patterns of three amphioxus digestive organs (the gill, intestine and hepatic caecum) that are believed to be the first line of immune defense.

Project description:Hox genes are required during the morphogenesis of both vertebrate digits and external genitals.We investigated whether transcription in such distinct contexts involves a shared enhancer-containing landscape. We show that the same regulatory topology is used, yet with some tissue-specific enhancer-promoter interactions, suggesting the hijacking of a regulatory backbone from one context to the other. In addition, comparable organizations are observed at both HoxA and HoxD clusters, which separated through genome duplication in an ancestral invertebrate animal.We propose that this convergent regulatory evolution was triggered by the pre-existence of some chromatin architecture, thus facilitating the subsequent recruitment of the appropriate transcription factors. Such regulatory topologies may have both favored and constrained the evolution of pleiotropic developmental loci in vertebrates.
