Project description:Peripheral somatosensory input is modulated in the dorsal spinal cord by a network of excitatory and inhibitory interneurons. PTF1A is a transcription factor essential in dorsal neural progenitors for specification of these inhibitory neurons. Thus, mechanisms regulating Ptf1a expression are key for generating neuronal circuits underlying somatosensory behaviors. Mutations targeted to distinct cis-regulatory elements for Ptf1a in mice, tested the in vivo contribution of each element individually and in combination. Mutations in an auto-regulatory enhancer resulted in reduced levels of PTF1A, and reduced numbers of specific dorsal spinal cord inhibitory neurons, particularly those expressing Pdyn and Gal.

Project description:Ptf1a has been shown to be necessary for determining an inhibitory interneuronal fate in many regions of the nervous system. In this study, we aim to investigate the sufficiency of Ptf1a to cell-autonomously promote a specific neuronal identity by misexpressing it in developing excitatory cortical pyramidal cells and studying its impact on pyramidal cell features, such as its gene expression profile. To accomplish this, we electroporate either a Ptf1a/GFP-misexpression construct or a GFP-only control construct into E12.5 mouse embryonic cortices, harvest the cortices at E15.5, and examine Ptf1a-induced changes to the pyramidal cell transcriptome, molecular expression pattern, neurotransmitter status, and morphology. We conclude that Ptf1a is sufficient to cell-autonomously promote an inhibitory peptidergic identity and alter neuronal morphology in developing cortical pyramidal cells. The results of this study provide insight into intrinsic transcriptional controls over neuronal identity, specifically implicate Ptf1a as a potent regulator of an inhibitory peptidergic identity, and may guide future studies of neuronal reprogramming for circuit repair after disease or injury.

Project description:Because Ptf1a is a transcription factor, this protein should regulate transcription of various genes in Ptf1a-expressing cells of the hypothalamus. To detect those downstream genes, we purified cells in the Ptf1a-lineage from the hypothalamus at E14.5 by FACS sorting, subsequently performed RNA-seq analysis and obtained 706 differentially expressed genes. 386 genes had lower and 320 had higher expression in Ptf1a-lineage cells from homozygous Ptf1a deficient mice. The down-regulated genes included Prdm13, Corl2 and Lhx5 that were known downstream targets of Ptf1a, in addition, Sox3 and Nkx2-1, which are known to be required for hypothalamic development. Interestingly, among those affected genes, we detected several genes encoding transmembrane and/or secreted proteins, such as Jag2 (ligand for Notch receptors), Sema6b, Sema4g (ligands for Plexin family proteins). These genes may have a non-cell autonomous role in the sexual differentiation of hypothalamic cells adjacent to Ptf1a-lineage cells. Kiss1 expression was not altered, as was expected by the finding that most Kiss1-expressing cells were not in the Ptf1a lineage.

Project description:This experiment used RNA-Seq technology to explore gene expression in mouse Ptf1a^YFP/+ [het] FACS sorted cells at E11.5 (early pancreatic Multipotent Progenitor Cells) and E15.5 (nascent acinar cells) as well as in Ptf1a^YFP/YFP [null] at E11.5 (delayed early MPC). 376 selected genes identified as differentially expressed between early pancreatic MPC and nascent acinar cells or between early pancreatic and delayed early MPCs have then been examined by Taqman Low Density Arrays (TLDAs) with Real Time RT-PCR for each 1-day time point from E10.5 to E15. 5 in Ptf1a^YFP/+ [het] and for E10.5 and E11.5 in Ptf1aYFP/YFP [null] . Finally, 94 genes identified in the first phase of TLDAs (including 2 endogenous control, Gapdh and 18S) were analyzed in a second TLDA phase for each 1-day time point from E10.5 to -E18.5 in Ptf1a^YFP/+ [het] and for E11.5 in Ptf1aYFP/YFP [null] with biological replicates (n>=3) for each time point.

Project description:Ptf1a and RbpjL form a complex. We wanted to identify genes that are regulated by the complex and distinguish those possibly regulated independently by Ptf1a and RbpjL in mouse pancreas using ChIP-seq technology. Chromatin Immunoprecipitations (ChIPs) for Ptf1a and RbpjL were performed with a number of mouse pancreas samples. Samples were sequenced with Solexa and sequenced DNA from Input (n=2), Ptf1a ChIP (n = 3), and RbpjL ChIP (n=2) samples were aligned to the NCBI Genome Build 37 M-^V mm9 to determine regions that were enriched for binding by Ptf1a and RbpjL.

Project description:The Ptf1a gene has essential functions during several stages of pancreas development. It is expressed in the naïve endoderm and required pancreas cell fate specification; it is also required later in the differentiation and maintenance of acinar cells. To identify the regulatory genetic program downstream of Ptf1a required for early pancreatic fate acquisition, we used microarrays to perform a comprehensive gene expression analysis of Ptf1a overexpressing endodermal tissue at NF32 and NF36. The results revealed an up-regulation on 1142 probe sets over 2-fold. Additional analyses, by in situ hybridizations, identified 9 genes that were endodermally expressed after the onset of endogenous Ptf1a; STXBP1, putative transmembrane protein TA-2, C25H, IGFBP1, IRF1, HALPN3, Hey1, sestrin 1, syndecan-4. These results provide insight into the regulatory network activated by Ptf1a during early pancreas development.

It is expressed in the naM-CM-/ve endoderm and required pancreas cell fate specification; it is also required later in the differentiation and maintenance of acinar cells.

These results provide insight into the regulatory network activated by Ptf1a during early pancreas development. In order to identify downstream targets of Ptf1a, two microarrays were performed at different time-points. The two microarrays compared control pancreatic tissue (GFP) and pancreatic tissue over-expressing Ptf1a (Ptf1a+GFP). The first microarray was performed at NF32, hence renamed MA32, 8 hours after the initial expression of endogenous Ptf1a. A second microarray was performed at NF36 (MA36), 8 hours after the first one. Ptf1a+gfp mRNA or gfp mRNA alone was injected into the two dorso-vegetal blastomeres of eight-cell embryos, targeting the anterior endoderm, and 40/48 hours later the anterior endoderm was dissected out. Approximated 15 endoderm explants were pooled for each RNA preparation, and both control and experimental samples were collected from the same batch of embryos; this was done in triplicate at NF32 and in quadruplicate at NF36 (Fig. 1A). For the NF32 microarray, we used the Affymetrix 3M-bM-^@M-^Y Xenopus laevis Genome 2.0 GeneChip, whereas for the NF36 microarray we used the Affymetrix 3M-bM-^@M-^Y Xenopus laevis Genome 1.0 GeneChip; the NF36 microarray was performed prior to the release of the 2.0 GeneChip.

Project description:Ptf1a was identified as the essential transcription factor which controls pancreatic exocrine enzyme expression. With lineage tracing eperiments Ptf1a was recognized as an important pancreatic progenitor transcription factor and Ptf1a null mice do not develop a pancreas. We used gene expression arrays to determine the global differeences in expression levels when pancreatic progenitor cells are expanding in Ptf1a heterozygote versus null mutants at E10.5. Ptf1a E10.5 dorsal pancreas total RNA from pools of 3 embryos was twice linear amplified and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 in triplicate for the Ptf1a KO and in duplicate for the Ptf1a heterozygote
