Project description:Few families of signaling factors have been implicated in the control of development. Here we identify the neuropeptides nociceptin and somatostatin, a neurotransmitter and neuroendocrine hormone, as a class of developmental signals in chick and zebrafish. We show that signals from the anterior mesendoderm are required for the formation of anterior placode progenitors with one of the signals being somatostatin. Somatostatin controls ectodermal expression of nociceptin and both peptides regulate Pax6 in lens and olfactory progenitors. Consequently, loss of somatostatin and nociceptin signaling leads to severe reduction of lens formation. Our findings not only uncover these neuropeptides as developmental signals, but also identify a long-sought-after mechanism that initiates Pax6 in placode progenitors and may explain the ancient evolutionary origin of neuropeptides, pre-dating a complex nervous system. We used progenitors for anterior and posterior sensory placodes dissected from chick embryos HH5-7; these were either processed immediately or cultured for 5 hrs to hybridise to Affymetrix chick array. We aimed to identify genes that are co regualted with Pax6, a key regulator of lens and olfactory progenitor cells. Pax6 is normally present in anterior, but not posterior placode precursors, but upregulated in both after 5 hrs culture.

Project description:In vertebrates the endoderm which gives rise to the epithelial lining of the digestive tract becomes regionalized along its antero-posterior axis after gastrulation. The molecular basis of the initial step of this regionalization has largely remained unclear. Using chick model, we generated high-quality transcriptomic datasets of different stages/regions of the endoderm and analyzed their molecular heterogeneity. Total RNA from HH stage 4-5 entire definitive endoderm, HH stages 10-11 foregut endoderm and HH stages 8-10 mid/hindgut endoderm were purified. 5 M-NM-<g of RNA from each sample were used to screen Affymetrix Chicken Genome Array without an amplification step.

Project description:The relatively new high-resolution MRM (MRMHR) approach with the Triple-TOF MS running under nanoflow was adopted in this study to solidify further the findings of SWATH-MS results of differentially expressed proteins found across the time points in the chick vitreous for the benefit of low peptide amount consumption. Twelve up-regulated and 26 down-regulated proteins were found across all time points compared to day 7 using SWATH-MS. Several DEPs, such as alpha-fetoprotein, cadherins family group, neurocan, and reelin involved in structural and growth-related pathways, were validated for the first time using MRMHR under this experimental condition.

Project description:This study was performed to evaluated RNA extraction and gene expression analysis of FFPE specimen stored for more than 20 years. Using long time stored FFPE material; large retrospective studies correlating molecular features with therapeutic response and clinical outcome, can be performed. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) was used to evaluate RNA extraction methods and to compare gene expression profiles of FFPE and fresh frozen (FF) tissue. Extracted RNA was subsequently subjected to microarray analysis and compared to qPCR data. The Ambion RecoverAll kit appears to be particularly suited for RNA extraction of long time stored FFPE tissues. Gene expression analysis using Affymetrix platform displayed a high degree of correlation for endogenous control genes comparing FF and FFPE tissues. We conclude that high quality gene expression signatures can be recognized using Affymetrix gene expression platform on FFPE tissue stored for more than 20 years. However, a general interpretation must be done with caution as different FFPE procedures have varying effects on RNA quality. Three RNA extraction methods from Roche (Basel, Switzerland), Ambion (Austin, TX, USA) and Qiagen (Hilden, Germany), designed for FFPE material was used. The methods were compared using qPCR. For the qPCR analysis, two different concentrations of input cDNA were used (20ng and 100ng) and 32 human endogenous control genes were examined. RNA from the Ambion FFPE kit was further analyzed by using microarray. Amplification of RNA prior to microarray analysis was performed using Nugen technologies (San Carlos, CA, USA). Nugen has developed amplification kits both for FFPE and FF materials: WT- ovation FFPE RNA amplification System V2 (Nugen FFPE), Ovation FF RNA Amplification System V2 (Nugen V2 FF) and Ovation FF Pico RNA Amplification System (Nugen PICO FF). The Nugen FFPE kit, designed for FFPE material was only used for FFPE tissue. The Nugen Pico FF kit, designed to target small amounts of FF RNA (>500 pg) and the Nugen V2 FF kit designed to target total FF RNA, were only used for FF tissue. Affymetrix standard amplification protocol (Affy FF) designed for FF RNA was also included as the standard method for amplification.

Project description:Neural stem cells (NSCs) are self-renewing multipotent cells that line the neural-tube and generate all the nervous system. Understanding NSC biology is fundamental for neurodevelopmental research and therapy. Many studies emphasized the need to culture NSCs, which are typically purified from mammalian embryonic/adult brains. These sources are somewhat limited in terms of quantity, availability and animal ethical guidelines. Therefore, new sources are needed. The chick is a powerful system for experimental embryology which contributed enormously to neurodevelopmental concepts. Its accessibility, genetic/molecular manipulations, and homology to other vertebrates, makes it valuable for developmental biology research. Recently, we identified a population of NSCs in the chick hindbrain. It resides in rhombomere-boundaries, expresses Sox2 and generates progenitors and neurons. Here, we investigated whether these cells can recapitulate hindbrain development in culture. By developing approaches to propagate and image cells, manipulate their growth-conditions and separate them into subpopulations, we demonstrate the ordered formation of multipotent and self-renewing neurospheres that maintain regional identity and display differential stem/differentiation/proliferation properties. Live imaging revealed new cellular dynamics in the culture. Collectively, these NSC cultures reproduce major aspects of hindbrain development in-vitro, proposing the chick as a model for culturing hindbrain-NSCs that can be directly applied to other neural-tube domains and species.

Project description:To further identify the transcriptional changes underlying congenital tracheal malformation in a1H knockout mice, the differential gene expression panel was examined by Affymetrix microarray. To investigate the roles of a1H-regulated genes in tracheal development, we characterize the unique transcriptional changes of early trachea in kockout mice, and compare the expression profiles of knock out trachea with those of wild type trachea. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cellularisation and identified distinct classes of up or down-regulated genes during this process. Mouse embryos trachea were collected at embryo day 16 (E16) for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to obtain homozygous mouse embryos trachea in order to compare with gene expression profile of wild type mouse tracheal.

Project description:The vertebrate ectoderm gives rise to a variety of cell lineages, including neural, neural crest, placodal and non-neural cell fates. How cell fates are specified at the neural plate border (the region surrounding the neural plate) is not fully understood. We therefore carried out 10x scRNAseq of the chick epiblast to investigate cell fate specification at the neural plate border. Embryos were dissected and pooled according to stage. The tissue was then dissociated and FAC sorted to remove dead cells and remaining doublets before cells were stored in MeOH. Due to the time required to dissect embryos, multiple rounds of collections were carried out, with collections from the same stage pooled prior to 10x sequencing. Libraries were sequenced using an Illumina HiSeq 4000 at the Francis Crick Institute, London. This collection was a follow up to E-MTAB-10408.
