Project description:Heart formation requires input from two populations of progenitor cells - the first and second heart fields - that differentiate at distinct times and create different cardiac components. The cardiac outflow tract (OFT) is built through recruitment of late-differentiating, second heart field (SHF) -derived cardiomyocytes to the arterial pole of the heart. Mechanisms responsible for selection of an appropriate number of OFT cells from the SHF remain unclear, although several lines of evidence emphasize the importance of FGF signaling in promoting this process. Here, we examine the impact of inhibition of FGF signaling on cardiac transcription profiles in an effort to identify genes operating downstream of FGF during OFT development. We compared hearts from embryos treated with the FGFR inhibitor SU5402 to the hearts from sibling embryos treated with DMSO. Two replicates were performed.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of the preingression epiblast versus lateral epiblast, of preingression epiblast from control embryos treated with the DMSO carrier vehicle (0.5%) versus embryos treated with SU5402, U0126 or LY294002. Embryos were stages 5-6 at time of tissue isolation. The preingression epiblast (E2 region) is the region of epiblast just lateral to the primitive streak. Lateral epiblast is the E3 region. Two condition experiment. Samples for each condition isolated from at least 30 embryos. The experiments used isolated preingression epiblast, which is defined as the region of epiblast adjacent to the primitive streak that will ingress through the primitive streak. Preingression epiblast was isolated by microdissection using tungsten needles from control embryos or embryos treated with SU5402, U0126 or LY294002.

Project description:Estrogen signaling is important for vertebrate embryonic development. Here we have used zebrafish (Danio rerio) as a vertebrate model to identify estrogen regulated genes during the first 4 days of development. Zebrafish embryos were exposed to 1 M-BM-5M 17M-NM-2-estradiol from 3 hours post fertilization to 4 days post fertilization, harvested daily and subjected to RNA extraction for transcriptome analysis using microarrays. Estrogen responsive genes were analyzed with hierarchical clustering followed by gene function and tissue expression analysis. Markedly distinct sets of genes were up and down-regulated by estrogen treatment at different time points. Among these genes, only the well-known estrogenic marker vtg1 was co-regulated at all time points. Despite this, the biological functional categories targeted by estrogen were similar throughout zebrafish development. Estrogen responsive genes were enriched mainly in the liver, pancreas and brain. In conclusion, our data shows that in zebrafish distinct cohorts of E2 responsive genes are expressed in a tissue specific manner at different developmental stages. However, the biological pathways that are affected are conserved. 30 embryos were pooled as one sample and exposed to 1 M-NM-<M E2 or vehicle (0.1% DMSO) at approximately 3 hours post fertilization (hpf). At different time points, 1 dpf (24 hpf), 2 dpf (48 hpf), 3 dpf (72 hpf) and 4 dpf (104 hpf), embryos were collected for total RNA extractions. Time points 1 and 2 dpf were performed in biological triplicates of independent pools of RNA while time points 3 and 4 dpf were performed in quadruplicates.

Project description:Investigation of whole genome expression pattern of 24 hours post fertilization Danio rerio embryos exposed to bisphenol A, 17β-estradiol, or 0.1% DMSO vehicle control This data represents 2 experiments using 2 separate microarrays. Microarray 1 [Low]: Embryos were exposed to 0.1 µM BPA, 0.1 µM E2, or control from 8 hpf to 24 hpf. Three biological replicates were collected for each treatment. 40 embryos were pooled to comprise a replicate. Microarray 2 [High]: Embryos were exposed to 80 µM BPA, 15 µM E2, or control from 8 hpf to 24 hpf. Two biological replicates were collected for each treatment. 40 embryos were pooled to comprise a replicate. These 2 microarray experiments are cross-comparable, as described in the associated publication.

Project description:Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling is known to support differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) into mesoderm and extraembryonic lineages, whereas other signaling pathways can largely influence this lineage specification. Here, we set out to reinvestigate the influence of ACTIVIN/NODAL and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) pathways on the lineage choices made by hESCs during BMP4-driven differentiation. We show that BMP activation, coupled with inhibition of both ACTIVIN/NODAL and FGF signaling, induces differentiation of hESCs, specifically to M-NM-2hCG hormone-secreting multinucleated syncytiotrophoblast and does not support induction of embryonic and extraembryonic lineages, extravillous trophoblast, and primitive endoderm. It has been previously reported that FGF2 can switch BMP4-induced hESC differentiation outcome to mesendoderm. Here, we show that FGF inhibition alone, or in combination with either ACTIVIN/NODAL inhibition or BMP activation, supports hESC differentiation to hCG-secreting syncytiotrophoblast. We show that the inhibition of the FGF pathway acts as a key in directing BMP4-mediated hESC differentiation to syncytiotrophoblast. Human embryonic Stem Cells (hESCs) were treated under defined conditions (N2B27) with BMP4 (B), SB431542 (SB) (ACTIVIN/NODAL inhibitor), SU5402 (SU) (FGFR1 inhibitor), FGF2 (F) either alone or in various combinations as mentioned, followed by isolation of total RNA.

Project description:Eight different types of sample (three samples each) were used in this study of cardiac cell migration in the tunicate Ciona intestinalis. The B7.5 lineage cells were isolated by Fluorescent Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) at the tailbud stage, when the cardiac precursors (anterior B7.5 lineage cells) are migrating into the trunk, while their sister cells (posterior 7.5 lineage cells) remain in the tail, where they form muscle cells. Cells were sorted at the late gastrula stage, prior to migration induction and after manipulation of the FGF-MAPK-Ets signaling pathway (targeted expression of dominant negative FGF receptor and Ets:VP16 fusion protein, targeted expression was achieved using the Mesp cis-regulatory DNA), FoxF function (a direct target of FGF-MAPK-Ets signaling, required primarily for cell migration) by targeted expression of FoxF:VP16 (constitutive activator) or FoxF:WRPW (constitutive repressor, dominant negative), Mesp function (over-expression of Mesp:VP16 inhibits primarily cell migration). Finally, the "whole embryo" samples were collected from dissociated whole tailbud embryos, without FACS. in summary the eight conditions are: "wt (files LC-wt-1,-2,-3)": wild_type B7.5 lineage cells, expressing GFP, sorted at the tailbud stage "Ets:VP16 (files LC-EV-1,-2,-3)": B7.5 lineage cells, expressing GFP and Ets:VP16, sorted at the tailbud stage "DnFGFR (files LC-dnFGFR-1,-2,-3)": B7.5 lineage cells, expressing GFP and dominant-negative FGF receptor, sorted at the tailbud stage. "FoxF:VP16 (files LC-FV-1,-2,-3)": B7.5 lineage cells, expressing GFP and FoxF:VP16, sorted at the tailbud stage. "FoxF:WRPW (files LC-FW-1,-2,-3)": B7.5 lineage cells, expressing GFP and FoxF:WRPW, sorted at the tailbud stage". "Mesp:VP16 (files LC-MV-1,-2,-3)": B7.5 lineage cells, expressing GFP and Mesp:VP16, sorted at the tailbud stage. "Late Gastrula (files LC-LG-1,-2,-3)": wild_type B7.5 lineage cells, expressing GFP, sorted at the late gastrula stage "whole embryo (files LC-whole-1,-2,-3": whole embryos, dissociated at the tailbud stage, not sorted.

Project description:The Pik3cd null females are subfertile and have less growing follicles than their heterozygous littermates in the ovary. These mice poorly respond to the exogenous gonadotropins and ovulate much less oocytes than controls. In addition, the estrodial stimulated GC proliferation in preantral follicles is also impaired in Pik3cd null ovaries. FSH and E2 dramatically activates PI3K/AKT pathway in GCs of wild type mice, but not in the Pik3cd null mice. we used microarray to identify those genes regulated by Pik3cd in response to PMSG (Pregnant Mare Serum Gonadotropin) and E2 treatment in ovary. We set 3 treatment groups of both Pik3cd+/- and Pik3cd-/- female mice, including PD21 untreatment, PD21 after PMSG administration for 44 hours, PD21 after E2 administration for 72 hours, each group contained three biological repeats. The genes up/down-regulated significantly (not less than 2 fold change) in Pik3cd+/- mice after PMSG and E2 treatment were listed out as PMSG or E2 target genes, in which, those had not the same change trends in Pik3cd-/- were considered as Pik3cd-dependent genes.
