Project description:Our aim in this study was to investigate the gene expression changes through pre-adult to adult, and adult to old age, in zebrafish brains. We isolated the neuronal cells and performed RNA sequencing in 3 months old, 6-8.5 months old, and 26-31 months old zebrafish brains. The cells were enriched in progenitor cell markers, which diminished throughout the aging process.

Project description:Age-related decline in brain endothelial cell (BEC) function critically contributes to cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative disease. Comprehensive atlases of the BEC transcriptome have become available but results from proteomic profiling are lacking. To gain insights into endothelial pathways affected by aging, we developed a magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS)-based mouse BEC enrichment protocol compatible with high-resolution mass-spectrometry based proteomics. In this experiment, first we have compared MACS sorted BECs across multiple time points between 3 and 18 months of age. Using unsupervised cluster analysis, we found a segregation of age-related protein dynamics with biological functions including a downregulation of vesicle-mediated transport. Our approach uncovered changes not picked up by transcriptomic studies such as accumulation of vesicle cargo and receptor ligands including Apoe. Therefor in our next proteomics experiment we compared BECs from 3-months-old Apoe-KO and WT mice and found 111 and 103 proteins to be up- and downregulated, respectively. Comparing the BEC proteomic signature of young Apoe-KO mice with the signature of aged (18-months-old) WT mice we found a positive correlation suggesting an accelerating effect of Apoe deficiency on BEC aging.

Project description:Methylmercury (MeHg) is a potent neurotoxin and endocrine disruptor that accumulates in aquatic systems. Previous studies have shown suppression of hormone levels in both male and female fish, suggesting effects on gonadotropin regulation in the brain. We investigated the gene expression profile in adult female zebrafish whole brain induced by acute (96 hr) MeHg exposure. Fish were exposed by injection to 0 or 0.5 M-BM-5g MeHg/g. Gene expression changes in the brain were examined using a two-color 22,000 feature zebrafish microarray. At a significance level of p<0.01, 79 genes were up-regulated and 76 genes were down-regulated in response to MeHg exposure. Individual genes exhibiting altered expression in response to MeHg exposure implicate effects on glutathione metabolism and GABA-A receptors in the mechanism of MeHg neurotoxicity. Gene ontology (GO) terms significantly enriched among altered genes included protein folding, cell redox homeostasis, and steroid biosynthetic process. The most affected biological functions were related to the nervous system development and function, as well as lipid metabolism and molecular transport. These results support the involvement of oxidative stress and effects on protein structure in the mechanism of action of MeHg in the female brain. Future studies will compare the gene expression profile induced in response to MeHg with that induced by other toxins and investigate responsive genes as potential biomarkers of MeHg exposure. Wild-type strain AB-1 zebrafish (Zebrafish International Resource Center, University of Oregon, Eugene, OR) were cultured at the Columbia Environmental Research Center (CERC), USGS, for MeHg exposures. Adult female zebrafish were injected with 0 M-NM-<g/g or 0.5 M-NM-<g/g MeHg in 2 M-BM-5L Na2CO3 (pH 6.98)/g body weight. After 96 hr, fish were anesthetized using ethyl 3-aminobenzoate methanesulfonate (MS-222, Sigma, St. Louis, MO). Whole brains were removed, flash frozen with liquid nitrogen and stored at 80M-BM-0C. For the microarray experiment, two zebrafish brains were pooled per sample. Four pooled samples were taken from fish treated with 0.5 M-NM-<g/g of MeHg, and the other five were taken from control fish treated with sodium carbonate. Array hybridizations were performed using a reference design, where each sample was compared to a reference sample. The reference sample consisted of equal amounts of RNA from control and treated female brains. Five replicates for the control and four replicates for the treated were analyzed. cDNA synthesis, cRNA labeling, amplification and hybridization were performed following the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys kits and protocols (Agilent Low RNA Input Fluorescent Linear Amplification Kit and Agilent 60-mer oligo microarray processing protocol; Agilent, Palo Alto, CA).

Project description:Domesticated animal populations often show profound reductions in predator avoidance and fear-related behavior compared to wild populations. These reductions are remarkably consistent and have been observed in a diverse array of taxa including fish, birds, and mammals. Experiments conducted in common environments indicate that these behavioral differences have a genetic basis. In this study, we quantified differences in fear-related behavior between wild and domesticated zebrafish strains and used microarray analysis to identify genes that may be associated with this variation. Compared to wild zebrafish, domesticated zebrafish spent more time near the water surface and were more likely to occupy the front of the aquarium nearest a human observer. Microarray analysis of the brain transcriptome identified high levels of population variation in gene expression, with 1,749 genes significantly differentially expressed among populations. Genes that varied among populations belonged to functional categories that included DNA repair, DNA photolyase activity, response to light stimulus, neuron development and axon guidance, cell death, iron-binding, chromatin reorganization, and homeobox genes. Comparatively fewer genes (112) differed between domesticated and wild strains with notable genes including gpr177 (wntless), selenoprotein P1a, synaptophysin and synaptoporin, and acyl-CoA binding domain containing proteins (acbd3 and acbd4). Microarray analysis identified a large number of genes that differed among zebrafish populations and may underlie behavioral domestication. Comparisons with similar microarray studies of domestication in rainbow trout and canids identified sixteen evolutionarily or functionally related genes that may represent components of shared molecular mechanisms underlying convergent behavioral evolution during vertebrate domestication. However, this conclusion must be tempered by limitations associated with comparisons among microarray studies and the low level of population-level replication inherent to these studies. RNA was extracted from the brains of fish from four behaviorally distinct strains of zebrafish and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays. Brains from 2-5 individual fish of the same sex were pooled and homogenized together, for a total of two biological replicate pools per sex per strain (16 microarrays total).

Project description:Gene expression profile comparing 17-month old wild-type with psen1hu2547 zebrafish. Total RNA from 3-4 brains of 17-month old adult psen1hu2547 or WT fish was extracted using RNeasy mini columns (Qiagen) and quality-checked using NanoDrop 1000 (Thermo Scientific) and formaldehyde gel electrophoresis. cDNA was generated and labeled with Cy3 or Cy5-CTP using the low RNA input linear amplification kit (Perkin-Elmer). Upon purification and fragmentation, labeled cRNA was hybridized to the zebrafish 22K 60-mer oligonucleotide microarray (G2518A-001, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) at 65ºC for 17 hours. Three independent biological repeats were performed.

Project description:Cdx2 has been suggested to play an important role in Barrett's esophagus (BE), or intestinal metaplasia (IM) in the esophagus. However, in vivo data have been lacking. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether transgenic overexpression of zCdx1b, the functional equivalent of mammalian Cdx2 in zebrafish, may lead to IM of squamous epithelium in zebrafish A transgenic zebrafish system was developed by expressing zCdx1b gene under the control of zebrafish keratin 5 promoter (zK5p). zCdx1b expression in the esophageal squamous epithelium of transgenic zebrafish was analyzed by in situ hybridization, immunohistochemical staining and RT-PCR. Gene expression in the esophageal squamous epithelium of wild-type and transgenic zebrafish was analyzed by Affymetrix microarray and confirmed by in situ hybridization. The upper digestive tract tissue from 3 adult zebrafish (3 months old) was pooled as one sample. Three zCdx1b transgenic samples were used for microarray, and 2 wild type samples were used for control.

Project description:17-ethinylestradiol (EE2) is a synthetic estrogen commonly used as an active substance in oral contraceptives. It is frequently found in waste water effluent and raise concern due to its persistent nature. EE2 binds to estrogen receptors with similar affinity to oestradiol and acts as one of the most potent hormone mimics found in the environment. Estrogen is involved in many aspects of the development of the neuroendocrine system influencing both brain structure and behavior. We and others have reported a significant effect on non-reproductive behaviors in adult fish and in recent studies we found that developmental exposure to EE2 resulted in an anxiogenic phenotype as adults even after a long remediation period. In this study we aim to study possible mechanisms behind the behavior alterations of zebrafish developmentally exposed to EE2 by sequencing the whole brain transcriptome. Zebrafish embryos were exposed to 0, 2.14 and 7.34 ng/L EE2 from 1 day to 80 days post fertilization. After the exposure period a remediation period of 120 days followed before the fish were sampled. 3 male brains from the control group (0 ng/L) and the 2.14 ng/L group were sampled and 3 female brains from the control group (0 ng/L) and 7.34 ng/L were sampled.
