<h4>Background</h4>Hypoxia plays an important role in many biological/pathological processes. In particular, hypoxia is associated with cardiac ischemia. which, although initially inducing a protective response, will ultimately lead to the death of cardiomyocytes and loss of tissue, severely affecting cardiac functionality. Although myocardial damage/loss remains an insurmountable problem for adult mammals, the same is not true for adult zebrafish, which are able to completely regenerate their h ...[more]

Project description:Zebrafish have the remarkable ability to regenerate body parts including the heart, spinal cord and fins by a process referred to as epimorphic regeneration. Recent studies have illustrated that similar to adult zebrafish, early life stage-larvae also possess the ability to regenerate the caudal fin. A comparative genomic analysis was used to determine the degree of conservation in gene expression among the regenerating adult caudal fin, adult heart and larval fin. Results indicate that these tissues respond to amputation/injury with strikingly similar genomic responses. Comparative analysis revealed raldh2, a rate-limiting enzyme for the synthesis of Retinoic acid (RA), as one of the highly induced genes across the three regeneration platforms. Experiment Overall Design: The caudal fin of zebrafish larvae at 2days post fertilization were amputated. Caudal fin tissue at 2dpf and regenerating fins were isolated at 1, 2and 3 days post amputation. Three replicates were collected at each time point. 150 fins were pooled to comprise one replicate.

Project description:The planarian Dugesia japonica has amazing ability to regenerate a head from the anterior ends of the amputated stump with maintenance of the original anterior-posterior polarity. Although planarians present an attractive system for molecular investigation of regeneration and research has focused on clarifying the molecular mechanism of regeneration initiation in planarians, but proteomic studies are still in the early stages. Here, a global proteomics analysis of regenerating head fragments in planarians at 0h, 2h and 6h after amputation was performed using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ)-based quantitative proteomics coupled with LC-MS/MS strategy. Then the significantly changed proteins were identified. The correlation betwwen protein expression profiles and signaling pathways/biological processes was analyzed by bioinformatics and systems biology.

Project description:Ischemic cardiopathy is the leading cause of death in the world, for which efficient regenerative therapy is not currently available. In mammals, after a myocardial infarction episode, the damaged myocardium is replaced by scar tissue featuring collagen deposition and tissue remodelling with negligible cardiomyocyte proliferation. Zebrafish, in contrast, display an extensive regenerative capacity as they are able to restore completely lost cardiac tissue after partial ventricular amputation. Due to the lack of genetic lineage tracing evidence, it is not yet clear if new cardiomyocytes arise from existing contractile cells or from an uncharacterised set of progenitors cells. Nonetheless, several genes and molecules have been shown to participate in this process, some of them being cardiomyocyte mitogens in vitro. Though questions as what are the early signals that drive the regenerative response and what is the relative role of each cardiac cell in this process still need to be answered, the zebrafish is emerging as a very valuable tool to understand heart regeneration and devise strategies that may be of potential value to treat human cardiac disease. Here, we performed a genome-wide transcriptome profile analysis focusing on the early time points of zebrafish heart regeneration and compared our results with those of previously published data. Our analyses confirmed the differential expression of several transcripts, and identified additional genes the expression of which is differentially regulated during zebrafish heart regeneration. We validated the microarray data by conventional and/or quantitative RT-PCR. For a subset of these genes, their expression pattern was analyzed by in situ hybridization and shown to be upregulated in the regenerating area of the heart. The specific role of these new transcripts during zebrafish heart regeneration was further investigated ex vivo using primary cultures of zebrafish cardiomyocytes and/or epicardial cells. Our results offer new insights into the biology of heart regeneration in the zebrafish and, together with future experiments in mammals, may be of potential interest for clinical applications. In order to study zebrafish heart regeneration, a time course experiment was realized where amputated heart regenerating were compared to control heart. Samples in triplicate were extracted at 1, 3, 5 and 7 days post-amputation.

Project description:Variability of regenerative potential among animals has long perplexed biologists. Based on their amazing regenerative abilities, planarians have become important models for understanding the molecular basis of regeneration; however, planarian species with limited regenerative abilities are also found. Despite the importance of understanding the differences between closely related, regenerating and non-regenerating organisms, few studies have focused on the evolutionary loss of regeneration, and the molecular mechanisms leading to such regenerative loss remain obscure. Here we examine Procotyla fluviatilis, a planarian with restricted ability to replace missing tissues, utilizing next-generation sequencing to define the gene expression programs active in regeneration-permissive and regeneration-deficient tissues. We found that Wnt signaling is aberrantly activated in regeneration-deficient tissues. Remarkably, down-regulation of canonical Wnt signaling in regeneration-deficient regions restores regenerative abilities: blastemas form and new heads regenerate in tissues that normally never regenerate. This work reveals that manipulating a single signaling pathway can reverse the evolutionary loss of regenerative potential. RNA-seq experiments to identify gene expression changes following amputation in body regions with variable regenerative potential. Adult Procotyla fluviatilis were amputated at sites either anterior or posterior to the pharynx. After 24 hours post-amputation, tissues near the amputation site were excised and RNA was extracted. Similar tissues were excised from uncut control animals. Samples were processed for RNA-seq using Illumina procedures. We generated a de novo P. fluviatilis transcriptome and used RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to characterize transcripts from excised tissue fragments in Reg+ and Reg- body regions 24 hours post-amputation. We performed parallel analyses on tissues excised from intact animals at identical body regions to account for regional differences in transcripts, thereby identifying changes resulting from amputation. Samples A1-A3 = Regeneration-proficient (Reg+) tissue excision 24 hours after amputation. Samples B1-B3 = Tissue excision from regeneration-proficient (Reg+) region but not amputated. Samples C1-C3 = Tissue excision from regeneration-deficient (Reg-) tissues 24 hours after amputation. Samples D1, D3-D4 = Tissue excision from regeneration-deficient (Reg-) region that was not amputated.

Project description:Teleost fish have the remarkable ability to regenerate their body parts including heart, spinal cord, and the caudal fin, while many higher vertebrates including us humans have only a limited ability. To facilitate molecular and genetic approaches for regeneration, we previously established an assay using the fin fold of early stage larvae, which regenerate their caudal fin folds as in adult regeneration. Here, we performed transcriptional profiling of regenerating larval fin folds and identified genes with differential expression during regeneration. Gene expression profiling of zebrafish larval fin-fold regeneration was performed by comparing amputated fin fold and uncut control. Keywords: Stress response, injury response. Two time points, 18-24 hours post amputation (hpa) and 48 hpa, of regenerating fin fold were analyzed. We performed one replicate per each time point. For microarray expression profiling, total RNA was extracted from regenerating and uncut caudal fin folds of AB strain larvae. Tail tissues of 16-24 hpa, 48 hpa, and uncut siblings of the respective stages including 3-5 posterior somite segments were collected on ice. Total RNA was extracted by using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, California, United States) according to the manufacturerâs instruction. The quantity and quality of total RNA were assessed by absorbance at 260 nm and 280 nm and by gel electrophoresis. Approx. 9 μg of total RNA was recovered from ~250 tail tissues at 16-24 hpa or uncut control tissues; and approx. 5 μg, from ~130 tail tissues at 48 hpa or uncut control tissues. Probes for microarray analysis were labeled with cy3 (amputated fin fold at 16-24 hpa and uncut control at 48 hpa) or cy5 (uncut control at 16-24 hpa and amputated fin fold at 48 hpa), and used for hybridization.

Project description:Mammalian genomes likely encode all gene products required to regenerate an amputated limb, yet they lack the correct instructions for strategically modulating those gene products to accomplish limb regeneration. Zebrafish and many other non-mammalian vertebrates possess these instructions, which exist as gene cis-regulatory elements. Here, to identify candidate tissue regeneration enhancer elements (TREEs) important for zebrafish fin regeneration, we performed ATAC-seq from bulk tissue or purified fibroblasts of uninjured and regenerating caudal fins. We identified thousands of DNA regions from each tissue type with dynamic accessibility during regeneration, and assigned these regions to proximal genes with corresponding changes in RNA levels. To determine whether these profiles revealed bona fide TREEs, we tested the sufficiency of several sequences in stable transgenic and mutant lines. These experiments identified new regulatory sequences near several induced and/or required genes, including fgf20a, cx43, and mdka, with unique expression domains for each confirmed TREE. Deletion of TREE sequences from the zebrafish genome revealed requirements and redundancies surrounding cis-regulatory regions. Our study generates a novel resource for dissecting the regulatory mechanisms of appendage regeneration.

Project description:Heart failure is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the developed world, partly because mammals lack the ability to regenerate heart tissue. Whether this is due to evolutionary loss of regenerative mechanisms present in other organisms or to an inability to activate such mechanisms is currently unclear. Here, we decipher mechanisms underlying heart regeneration in adult zebrafish and show that the molecular regulators of this response are conserved in mammals. We identified miR-99/100 and Let-7a/c, and their protein targets smarca5 and fntb, as critical regulators of cardiomyocyte dedifferentiation and heart regeneration in zebrafish. Although human and murine adult cardiomyocytes fail to elicit an endogenous regenerative response following myocardial infarction, we show that in vivo manipulation of this molecular machinery in mice results in cardiomyocyte dedifferentiation and improved heart functionality after injury. These data provide a proof-of-concept for identifying and activating conserved molecular programs to regenerate the damaged heart. Analysis of miRNA levels in regenerating zebrafish hearts
