Project description:The Outer Subventricular Zone (OSVZ) is a germinal layer playing key roles in the development of the neocortex, with particular relevance in gyrencephalic species like human and ferret where it contains abundant basal Radial Glia Cells (bRGCs) that promote cortical expansion. Here we identify a brief period in ferret embryonic development when apical RGCs generate a burst of bRGCs that become founders of the OSVZ. After this period, bRGCs in the OSVZ proliferate and self-renew exclusively locally, thereby forming a self-sustained lineage independent from the other germinal layers. The time window for the brief period of OSVZ bRGC production is delineated by the coincident down-regulation of Cdh1 and Trnp1, and their up-regulation reduces bRGC production and prevents OSVZ seeding. This mechanism in cortical development may have key relevance in brain evolution and disease Samples were analyzed with 3 replicates of each of them (except E34SVZ that has 2 replicantes). Comparisons were done taking different reference sample depending on the comparison.

Project description:A major challenge in Down syndrome (DS) is to understand how the extra-dose of functional chromosome 21 (HSA21) genetic elements can impact on the tissue-specific transcriptome to contribute to phenotypic alterations. MiRNAs are post-transcriptional modulators with genome-wide regulatory effects. Five microRNAs have been identified in HSA21 that are present in triple copy in DS individuals. Interestingly, in the Ts65Dn mouse model of DS two of these miRNAs, miR-155 and miR-802, are also triplicated resulting in its overexpression. In the current work, we have developed a lentiviral miRNA-sponge genetic strategy for miR-155 and miR-802 (Lv-miR155-802T) to identify novel mRNA targets involved in hippocampal function. Hippocampal injection of the lentiviral sponge in Ts65Dn mice reduced miR-155 and miR-802 overexpression. Noticeable lentiviral sponge rescued the expression of the miRNA predicted targets showing the potential of the strategy to identify miRNA dosage-sensitive genes with potential involvement in DS-hippocampal phenotypes. Euploid and trisomic adult mice were bilaterally injected at the level of the ventral hippocampus at selected coordinates (AP=-3.3mm, L=+/- 3mm, DV=-3.3mm and -2.3mm relative to bregma). Up to 108 transducing units (3µl of viral suspensions of Lv-Contol or Lv-miR155-802T) were injected into each hemisphere at a rate of 0.2 µl/min, under the precise control of an infusion pump (Ultramicropump, World Precision Instruments). Mice were euthanized for hippocampus collection at day 23 after administration. Transcriptome of hippocampus of euploid and trisomic mice treated with Lv-Control or Lv-miR155-802T was analysed using an Agilent SurePrint G3 Mouse gene expression 8x60K Microarray (ID 028005). A total RNA 100 ng, obtained using miRNeasy Mini Ki (QIAGEN), were labeled using LowInputQuick Amp Labeling kit (Agilent 5190-2305) following manufacturer instructions. Briefly, mRNA was reverse transcribed in the presence of T7-oligo-dT primer to produce cDNA. cDNA was then in vitro transcribed with T7 RNA polymerase in the presence of Cy3-CTP to produce labeled cRNA. The labeled cRNA was hybridized to the Agilent SurePrint G3 Mouse gene expression 8x60K Microarray (ID 028005) according to the manufacturer's protocol. The arrays were washed, and scanned on an Agilent G2565CA microarray scanner at 100% PMT and 3µm resolution. Intensity data was extracted using the Feature Extraction software (Agilent). Replicates from each genotypes and treatment group were distributed as follows: EU+Lv-Contol n=4, EU+Lv-miR155-802T n=4, TS+Lv-Contol n=5, TS+Lv-miR155-802T n=3.

Project description:Compared to circulating neutrophils (NC cells), splenic neutrophils (NBH cells) have an activated phenotype and enhanced B cell-helper activity. The transcriptome analysis of splenic and circulating neutrophils was performed to verify whether the enhanced B cell-helper activity of splenic neutrophils correlated with a specific gene signature. Unstimulated neutrophils were FACS sorted from the peripheral blood and spleen of six adult healthy subjects for RNA isolation and Agilent analysis.

Project description:Mouse models of intestinal crypt cell differentiation and tumorigenesis have been used to characterize the molecular mechanisms underlying both processes. DNA methylation is a key epigenetic mark and plays an important role in cell identity and differentiation programs and cancer. To get insights into the dynamics of cell differentiation and malignant transformation we have compared the DNA methylation profiles along the mouse small intestine crypt and early stages of carcinogenesis. Genome-scale analysis of DNA methylation together with microarray gene expression have been applied to compare intestinal crypt stem cells (EphB2positive), differentiated cells (EphB2negative), ApcMin/+ adenomas and the corresponding non-tumor adjacent tissue, together with small and large intestine samples and the colon cancer cell line CT26. Compared with late stages, small intestine crypt differentiation and early stages of carcinogenesis display few and relatively small changes in DNA methylation. Hypermethylated loci are largely shared by the two processes and affect the proximities of promoter and enhancer regions, with enrichment in genes regulated by PRC2 and associated with the intestinal stem cell signature. The hypermethylation is progressive, with minute levels in differentiated cells, as compared with intestinal stem cells, and reaching full methylation in advanced stages. Hypomethylation shows different signatures in differentiation and cancer and is already present in the non-tumor tissue adjacent to the adenomas in ApcMin/+mice, but at lower levels than advanced cancers. Taking into account the parallelisms between human and mouse intestinal carcinogenesis, this study provides a reference framework to interpret the alterations found in human cancer. We have analyzed ApcMin/+ adenomas and the corresponding non-tumor adjacent tissue, together with small and large intestine samples and the colon cancer cell line CT26. Samples were in triplicates, except for tissue adjacent to adenoma (in duplicates).

Project description:The apical ectodermal ridge (AER) is a transient ectodermal population of cells that defines the dorso-ventral border of the developing limb bud. It functions as a major signaling centre that, through the secretion of various growth factors including FGF8, instructs the growth and patterning of the developing limb. We have identified that the AER expresses markers of cellular senescence and wanted to examine if there was any overlap with oncogene-induced senescence, an adult form of senescence induced in premalignant lesions. To achieve this, we microdissected the AER from embryonic day 11.5 mouse embryos. In addition, we collected the surface ectoderm from the proximal limb bud, that was not senescent and profiled both populations, to identify those genes that are enriched in the AER The AER was microdissected from embryonic day 11.5 mouse forelimb. Surface ectoderm from the posterior limb was used as a comparative control. Samples from 2-3 mice were pooled for each replicate, for 3-4 replicates.

Project description:Neural development requires crosstalk between signaling pathways and chromatin. In this study, we demonstrate that neurogenesis is promoted by an interplay between the TGFM-NM-2 pathway and the H3K27me3 histone demethylase (HDM) JMJD3. Genome-wide analysis showed that JMJD3 is targeted to gene promoters by Smad3 in neural stem cells (NSCs) and is essential to activate TGFM-NM-2-responsive genes. In vivo experiments in chick spinal cord revealed that the generation of neurons promoted by Smad3 is dependent on JMJD3 HDM activity. Overall, these findings indicate that JMJD3 function is required for the TGFM-NM-2 developmental program to proceed Mouse neural stem cells (NSC) control and JMJD3 knock down (shctrl and shJMJD3) were treated with the vehicle (-TGFb) or TGFbeta 5ng/ml (+TGFb) for 2.5h. Three replicates were performed for each point. And all of them were use it to posterior analysis.

Project description:PHF8 is a histone demethylase associated with X-linked mental retardation (XLMR). It has been described as a transcriptional coactivator involved in cell cycle progression, but its physiological role is still poorly understood. Here we show that PHF8 controls the expression of genes involved in cell adhesion and cytoskeleton organization such as RhoA, Rac1 and GSK3M-NM-2. A lack of PHF8 not only results in a cell cycle delay but also in a disorganized actin cytoskeleton and impaired cell adhesion. Our data demonstrate that PHF8 directly regulates the expression of these genes by demethylating H4K20me1 at promoters. Moreover, c-Myc transcription factor interacts with PHF8 and binds to the analyzed promoters, suggesting that c-Myc is involved on PHF8 recruitment to these promoters. Further analysis in the neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y and in cortical neurons shows that depletion of PHF8 results in deficient neurite elongation. Overall, our results suggest that the mental retardation phenotype associated with loss of function of PHF8 could be due to abnormal neuronal connections as a result of alterations in cytoskeleton function. HeLa cells were transfected with either control or PHF8 siRNAs. Experiments were performed in biological triplicates. RNA were extracted and sujected to microarray analysis.
