Project description:Transcriptional profiling of 28 hpf zebrafish transgenic expressing human KIT-D816V mutant gene versus wild-type embryos was performed. The aim of this experiment was to determine the expression changes caused by expression of KIT-D816V oncogene. This transgenic zebrafish represents a model of systemic mastocytosis with many features of this disease present in adults, but no very clear phenotypes in embryos. Thus, we attempted to determine if there are certain expression changes, which can be used as molecular features of active KIT expressed in these embryos. Two-condition experiment, Tg(actb2:KIT-D816V) versus wild-type(AB), 4 replicate experiments with a dye-swap each time

Project description:To investigate its role during zebrafish development, wnt signalling was either activated by the conditional expression of wnt8b or inhibited by the conditional expression of dickkopf-1b (dkk1b) under the control of the hsp70 heat shock promoter. The transgenic constructs contained a gfp reporter fusion to differentiate between transgenic embryos and their wild type siblings. Transgenic embryos and wild type control embryos at the 48 hours post fertilization stage (hpf) were exposed to heat shock (37 C) for 2 hours and were collected 4 hours after heat shock. The transcriptional response to activated or inhibited wnt signalling was profiled using microarrays and compared to wild type expression.

Project description:Adult F0 female zebrafish were fed with control diet or diets containing 5-AZA, MeHg or TCDD. After breeding with unexposed males to produce the F1 generation, livers were sampled from the F0 females. F1 generation embryos were unexposed to test chemicals, were sampled, then bred to produce F2 fish, also unexposed to test chemicals. Methylated DNA immunoprecipitation was carried out on liver samples from F0 and F1 and F2 embryos and MeDIP samples were labeled with Cy5 and hybridised to a zebrafish CGI tiling array versus Cy3-labled zebrafish genomic DNA. The objective was to determine DNA methylation changes following chemical exposure and whether these persisted transgenerationally.

Project description:The general objective of the study was to determine modulation of gene expression by environmental factors, specifically simulation of microgravity, with a special emphasis on bone formation. For this reason, the specific period of treatment was chosen between 5-6 days post-fertilization (dpf), when bone formation and calcification are taking place. Zebrafish larvae were placed at 5 dpf into a clinostat (CLINO) for 24 hours, which was shown to simulate microgravity by the specific rotational movements it generates. We show that CLINO exposure causes a clear decrease of bone formation, as illustrated by cranial skeleton staining of the bone matrix by Alizarin Red, by morphometric analysis of the resulting images. Thus, a whole genome micro-array experiment was conducted to identify genes that may be involved in the observed effect on bone formation.

Project description:Eye development and photoreceptor maintenance requires the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), a thin layer of cells that underlies the neural retina. Despite its importance, RPE development has not been studied by a genomic approach. A microarray expression profiling methodology was established in this study for studying RPE development. The intact retina with RPE attached was dissected from developing embryos, and differentially expressed genes in RPE were inferred by comparing the dissected tissues with retinas without RPE using microarray and statistical analyses. We found 8810 probesets to be significantly expressed in RPE at 52 hours post-fertilization (hpf), of which 1443 might have biologically meaningful expression levels. Further, 78 and 988 probesets were found to be significantly over- or under-expressed in RPE respectively compared to retina. Also, 79.2% (38/48) of the known over-expressed probesets have been independently validated as RPE-related transcripts. The results strongly suggest that this methodology can obtain in vivo RPE specific gene expression from the zebrafish embryos and identify novel RPE markers. Experiment Overall Design: The gene expression levels of three independent replicates of retina with RPE attached consisting of ten samples each at 52hpf (WRR52) were compared with three independent pure retinal samples consisting of ten retinas each at 52hpf (WR52). The yield-adjusted WR52 expression values were assumed to be equivalent to the retinal contribution in WRR52 samples and deducted from WRR52 expression values to obtain estimations of RPE gene expression at 52hpf (RPE52). Differential gene expressions between RPE and retina were inferred by comparing the RPE52 estimates and WR52 expression values.

Project description:Zebrafish males undergo a juvenile ovary to testis type gonadal transformation process. To understand how juvenile ovary-to-testis transformation in zebrafish is genetically regulated, we compared the transcriptomes of juvenile ovary (JO) and juvenile ovotestis (JOT) samples at 35 dpf using the Gonad Uniclone Microarray v1 (ArrayExpress ID: A-MEXP-838). We also analyzed the transcriptomes of the 32 dpf JO, 32 dpf JOT, 34 dpf JOT, and 36 dpf JOT gonads using the slightly modified Gonad Uniclone Microarray v2 and together with the 35 dpf JO and 35 dpf JOT samples, compared the JO samples against the JOT samples to identify genes that could be potentially involved in the gonad transformation process.

Project description:Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a framework for analyzing RPE expression profiles from zebrafish eye mutants. Methods: The fish model we used was smarca4 (SWI/SNF related, matrix associated, actin dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily a, member 4), a retinal dystrophic mutant that the retinal phenotype and expression profiles were previously characterized. Histological and Affymetrix GeneChip analyses were conducted to define the RPE defects and underlying differential expression respectively. Results: Histological analysis indicates that smarca4 RPE was formed but its differentiation was abnormal. In particular, ultra-structural analysis of smarca4 RPE by transmission electron microscopy showed a number of defects in melanogenesis, suggesting that the cytoskeletal dynamics was impaired. To compare the expression profile of normal wild-type (WT) and smarca4 RPE, their retinas and RPE-attached retinas were microdissected and the gene expression values of these tissues measured by Affymetrix GeneChip analysis. The RPE expression values were then estimated from these samples using an approach previously established by us. A factorial analysis was conducted using the expression values of RPE, retinal as well as the whole-embryo samples. Specific rules (contrasts) were built using the coefficients of the resulting fitted model to select for three groups of genes: 1) Smarca4-regulated RPE genes, 2) Smarca4-regulated retinal genes, and 3) Smarca4-regulated RPE genes that are not differentially expressed in the retina. The latter group consists of 39 genes that are highly related to cytoskeletal dynamics, melanogenesis, paracrine and intracellular signal transduction. Conclusions: Our analytical framework can potentially identify genes in zebrafish mutants that both retina and RPE are affected by the underlying mutation. The gene expression levels of three independent replicates of WT whole embryos (WA52), WT retinas (WR52), WT RPE-attached retinas (WRR52), smarca4/yng retinas (YR52), smarca4 RPE-attached retinas (YRR52) and smarca4 whole embryos (YA52) were measured by Affymetrix Zebrafish Whole Genome Arrays. All samples were collected at 52 hpf. The probe-level data of these sample groups were background adjusted, normalized and summarized by a robust multiarray average (RMA) algorithm. RPE expression values were estimated from the comparison between the retinal and RPE-attached retinal samples of the same genotype based on a method we previously developed (Leung et al., Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 2007; 48:881). Then, a 3x2 factorial design was used to analyze the expression values of three kinds of tissue (T): whole embryo, retina and RPE in two kinds of mutation (M) background: WT and smarca4. Using the coefficients from the fitted models, contrasts were built to identify candidate genes that fulfilled specific criteria. The false discovery rate (FDR) q-value cutoff for a contrast was 0.001. Several contrasts were ultimately combined to allow for selection of genes that were regulated by Smarca4 in the retina and RPE. These include 1) Smarca4-regulated RPE genes, 2) Smarca4-regulated retinal genes, and 3) Smarca4-regulated RPE genes that are not differentially expressed in the retina.
