Heterochronic transcription factor expression drives cone-dominant retina development in 13-lined ground squirrels. [scRNA-Seq]

Project description:Evolutionary adaptation to diurnal vision in ground squirrels has led to the development of a cone-dominant retina, in stark contrast to the rod-dominant retinas of most mammals. The molecular mechanisms driving this shift remain largely unexplored. Here, we perform single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) and chromatin accessibility profiling (scATAC-Seq) across developmental retinal neurogenesis in the 13-lined ground squirrel (13LGS) to uncover the regulatory basis of this adaptation. We find that 13LGS cone photoreceptors arise not only from early-stage neurogenic progenitors, as seen in rod-dominant species like mice, but also from late-stage neurogenic progenitors. This extended period of cone generation is driven by a heterochronic shift in transcription factor expression, with cone-promoting factors such as Onecut2, Pou2f1, and Zic3 remaining active in late-stage progenitors, while cone-differentiation factors Thrb, Rxrg, and Mef2c are expressed precociously in cone specification. Functional analyses reveal that Zic3 and Mef2c promote cone specification, acting through species-specific regulatory elements that drive their expression in late-stage progenitors. These results demonstrate that evolutionary modifications to gene regulatory networks underlie the development of cone-dominant retinas, providing insight into mechanisms of sensory adaptation and potential strategies for cone photoreceptor regeneration in vision disorders.

Platelet proteome dynamics in hibernating 13-lined ground squirrels

Project description:Hibernating mammals undergo a dramatic drop in temperature and blood flow during torpor and must suppress hemostasis to avoid stasis blood clotting. In addition, cold storage of most mammalian platelets induces cold storage lesions, resulting in rapid clearance following transfusion. 13-lined ground squirrels (Ictidomys tridecemlineatus) provide a model to study hemostasis and cold storage of platelets during hibernation because, even with a body temperature of 4-8C, their platelets are resistant to cold storage lesions. We quantified and systematically compared proteomes of platelets collected from ground squirrels at summer (activity), fall (entrance), and winter (topor) to elucidate how molecular-level changes in platelets may support hemostatic adaptations in torpor. Platelets were isolated from squirrel blood collected in June, October, and January. Platelet lysates from each animal were digested with trypsin prior to 11-plex tandem mass tag (TMT) labeling, followed by LC-MS/MS analysis for relative protein quantification. We found over 700 platelet proteins with significant changes over the course of entrance, torpor, and activity – including systems of proteins regulating translation, platelet degranulation, metabolism, complement, and coagulation cascades. We also noted species specific differences in hemostatic, secretory, and inflammatory regulators in ground squirrel platelets relative to human platelets. In addition to providing the first ever proteomic characterization of platelets from hibernating animals, our results support a model whereby systematic changes in metabolic, hemostatic, and other proteins support physiological adaptations in torpor. In addition, our results could translate into better methods to cold store human platelets, increasing their supply and quality for transfusions.

Suppression of neurons in circumventricular organs enables months-long survival without water in thirteen-lined ground squirrels

Project description:Water deprivation is a life-threatening condition that engages a protective physiological response to couple osmolyte retention with potentiation of thirst. This response, typical for most mammals, safeguards against short-term water deprivation, but fails in the long-term. Thirteen-lined ground squirrels (Ictidomys tridecemlineatus) employ the short-term response during summer, whereas during winter they lack thirst and survive without water for months. Here, we show that long-term thirst suppression occurs despite hormonal and behavioral signs of a dramatic fluid deficit and originates from hypoactivity of neurons in the circumventricular organs, which exhibit marked functional suppression during winter that blunts their sensitivity to thirst cues. Our work reveals a remarkable capacity of the evolutionarily conserved brain regions which control fluid homeostasis in mammals to enable long-term survival without water.

Rapid microwave fixation of the brain reveals seasonal changes in the phosphoproteome of hibernating thirteen-lined ground squirrels

Project description:Hibernating mammals such as the thirteen-lined ground squirrel (Ictidomys tridecemlineatus) experience significant reductions in oxidative metabolism and body temperature when entering a state known as torpor. Animals entering or exiting torpor do not experience permanent loss of brain function or other injuries, and the processes that enable such neuroprotection are not well understood. To gain insight into changes in protein function that occur in dramatically different physiological states, we performed quantitative phosphoproteomics experiments on thirteen-lined ground squirrels that are summer active, winter torpid, and spring active. An important aspect of our approach was the use of focused microwave irradiation of the brain to sacrifice the animals and rapidly inactivate phosphatases and kinases to preserve the native phosphoproteome. Overall, our results showed pronounced changes in phosphorylated proteins for the transitions into and out of torpor, including for proteins involved in gene expression and DNA repair, cellular plasticity, and human disease. In contrast, the transition between active states showed minimal changes. This study offers valuable insight into the global changes of brain phosphorylation in hibernating mammals, the results of which may be relevant to the future therapeutic strategies for brain injury.
