Project description:Background: V0v spinal interneurons are highly-conserved, glutamatergic, commissural neurons that function in locomotor circuits. We have previously shown that Evx1 and Evx2 are required to specify the neurotransmitter phenotype of these cells. However, we still know very little about the gene regulatory networks that act downstream of these transcription factors in V0v cells. Methods: To identify candidate members of V0v gene regulatory networks, we FAC-sorted WT and evx1;evx2 double mutant zebrafish V0v spinal interneurons and expression-profiled them using microarrays and scRNA-seq. We also used in situ hybridization to compare expression of a subset of candidate genes in evx1;evx2 mutants and wild-type siblings. Results: Our data reveal two molecularly-distinct subtypes of V0v spinal interneurons at 48 h and suggest that, by this stage of development, evx1;evx2 double mutant cells transfate into either inhibitory spinal interneurons, or motoneurons. Our results also identify 25 transcriptional regulator genes that require Evx1/2 for their expression in V0v interneurons, plus a further 11 transcriptional regulator genes that are repressed in V0v interneurons by Evx1/2. Two of the latter genes are hmx2 and hmx3a. Intriguingly, we show that Hmx2/3a, repress dI2 interneuronal expression of skor1a and nefma, two genes that require Evx1/2 for their expression in V0v interneurons. This suggests that Evx1/2 might regulate skor1a and nefma expression in V0v interneurons by repressing Hmx2/3a expression. Conclusions: This study identifies two molecularly-distinct subsets of V0v spinal interneurons, as well as multiple transcriptional regulators that are strong candidates for acting downstream of Evx1/2 to specify the essential functional characteristics of V0v interneurons. Our data further suggest that in the absence of both Evx1 and Evx2, V0v spinal interneurons initially change their neurotransmitter phenotypes from excitatory to inhibitory and then, later, start to express markers of distinct types of inhibitory spinal interneurons, or motoneurons. Taken together, our findings significantly increase our knowledge of V0v spinal development and move us closer towards the essential goal of identifying the complete gene regulatory networks that specify this crucial cell type.

Project description:Spinal inhibitory interneurons play crucial roles in shaping motor output, but the molecular heterogeneity contained within cardinal spinal interneuron populations is unclear. This experiment was designed to identify genes enriched in the Engrailed1 (En1) population of ventral V1 inhibitory interneurons relative to the Ptf1a population of dorsal dI4/dILA interneurons, with the goal of identifying genetic markers for discrete V1 subpopulations.

Project description:The goals of this study is to compare transcriptome profiles (RNA-seq) of zebrafish V2a interneurons with regrown axon and those without regrown axon in the spinal segments rostral to the lesion after spinal cord injury. For purification of V2a interneurons with regrown axon, the fluorescent tracer Rhodamine Dextran (RD) was retrogradely applied to Tg(Chx10:GFP) fish at three or eight weeks post injury. Spinal cord segments rostral to the lesion site was collected from 20 fish at 3- or 8 wpi, and corresponding spinal cord segments from 20 uninjured fish were collected as control material. GFP+/RD+ and GFP+/RD- cells were FAC-sorted and subjected to RNA-sequencing. Total RNA was isolated using SMART-SeqTM v4 UltraTM Low Input RNA Kit for Sequencing (Clontech). Sequencing libraries (N=5-6) were generated using NEBNext UltraTM RNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina following the manufacturer’s instructions (NEB). We mapped about 40-80 million sequence reads per sample to the zebrafish genome and identified 42,370 transcripts in the zebrafish V2a interneurons in the spinal cord. Our study represents the detailed analysis of transcriptomes of zebrafish V2a interneurons with regrown axon and those without regrown axon in the spinal segments rostral to the lesion after spinal cord injury.

Project description:We isolated and expression profiled V0v spinal interneurons, as well as all spinal neurons and all trunk cells using Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) of different transgenic zebrafish lines in which these cells express fluorescent proteins at 27 hours post fertilization (hpf). We used a custom-designed Agilent microarray to study the expression of transcription factors in these cell types.
