Cell type transcriptome atlas for the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea

Project description:The transcriptome of a cell dictates its unique cell-type biology. We used single-cell RNA sequencing to determine the transcriptomes for essentially every cell type of a complete animal: the regenerative planarian Schmidtea mediterranea. Planarians contain a diverse array of cell types, possess lineage progenitors for differentiated cells (including pluripotent stem cells), and constitutively express positional information, making them ideal for this undertaking. We generated data for 66,783 cells, defining transcriptomes for known and many previously unknown planarian cell types and for putative transition states between stem and differentiated cells. We also uncovered regionally expressed genes in muscle, which harbors positional information. Identifying the transcriptomes for potentially all cell types for many organisms should be readily attainable and is a powerful new approach to metazoan biology.

RNA Seq analysis of neoblasts from Schmidtea mediterranea treated with RNAi against zfp1, p53, or unc22 to identify factors involved in neoblast differentiation.

Project description:Epidermis is essential for animal survival, providing both a protective barrier and cellular sensor to the external environment. Interestingly, the epidermes of different species show broad morphological and functional diversity yet it is unclear whether this diversity came from modification of an existing gene regulatory network or de novo innovation of new genes. Here we identify the transcriptional regulators underlying the differentiation program of planarian epidermal lineage. We classify Smed-p53 as the most upstream molecule in this transcriptional cascade, suggesting a potentially conserved role for this gene in epidermal differentiation similar to TP63 in vertebrates. Moreover, we find that homologs of Sox and Pax family transcription factors, Smed-soxP-3 and Smed-pax-5, act cooperatively to activate the expression of epidermal markers. Together, these data show that planarian epidermal differentiation is regulated by a combination of conserved elements (p53/p63), recruitment of a non-conventional transcription module (soxP-3/pax-5), and novel genes (prog); they also suggest that specialized adpatations, such as epidermal mucus-secretion, arise from complex changes to gene networks. This experiment aims to identify regulators involved in epidermal differentiation at the neoblast stage by using RNA Seq to examine transcriptional changes in neoblasts (X1 population) isolated from animals treated with zfp-1 or p53 dsRNA.

Transcriptome analysis reveals strain-specific and conserved stemness genes in Schmidtea mediterranea

Project description:The transcriptome of the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea is not well characterized. We have used RNA-Seq to characterize the transcriptome in both sexual and asexual strains of S. mediterranea from both untreated and irradiated animals. Moreover, we have performed RNA-Seq on RNA purified from FACS sorted neoblasts and differentiated cells. Together these studies expand our understanding of the planarian transcriptome and have identified strain-specific, neoblast-specific, and conserved transcripts. RNA-Seq was performed on RNA isolated from untreated and irradiated S. mediterranea animals from both the sexual and asexual strains, on FACS purified X1 neoblasts, X2 neoblasts, and Xins differentiated cells. One of the raw data files for GSM847465 is missing. The fasta file is provided at http://genome.vcell.uchc.edu/GenomeData02/Graveley_Lab_Public_Data/Planarian/S.mediterranea_SexNIRmRNA3.fa.gz

Expression analysis of purified intestinal phagocytes in Schmidtea mediterranea

Project description:Identification of differentially expressed genes in intestinal phagocytes, compared to non-intestinal cells in Schmidtea mediterranea. Total RNA was isolated from either intestinal phagocytes or non-intestinal cells (control). Four independent biological replicates were conducted with two dye swaps. Labeled targets were hybridized to two oligonucleotide arrays on which 11,521 planarian transcripts were represented.
