Identifying active cis-regulatory elements during the development of the limbs and external genitalia in the mouse and lizard.

Project description:The morphologies of the amniote phallus and limbs differ dramatically, but these structures share signaling pathways and patterns of gene expression in early development. Thus far, the extent to which genital and limb transcriptional networks share cis-regulatory elements has remained unexplored. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation with an antibody against the histone modification mark H3K27ac followed by Illumina high-throughput sequencing, we identify thousands of active enhancers in developing limbs, genital tubercle, and additional embryonic tissues of the mouse and green anole lizard (Anolis carolinensis). We show in global analyses of cis-regulatory activity that embryonic limbs and genitalia display overlapping patterns of enhancer activity, and that many H3K27ac-marked regions are shared between mouse and green anole. Our findings support the hypothesis that the amniote phallus evolved through co-option of a preexisting appendage developmental program.

Developmental and sexual dimorphic atlas of the prenatal mouse external genitalia at the single cell level

Project description:Before the onset of sexual differentiation, male and female external genitalia are morphologically indistinguishable. After the onset of sex-specific production of sex steroids by the gonads, the male and female external genitalia differentiate into either a penis or clitoris. Here we use single cell sequencing to investigate the similarities and differences of cell populations in the external genitalia during the critical sexual differentiation window in the mouse embryo. We found the male and female genitalia are largely similar in cell composition and gene expression at the bipotential stage of development. As sexual differentiation ensues, sex steroid-dependent and -independent differences in cell populations arise, leading to dimorphic establishment of the external genitalia.

A relative shift in cloacal location repositions external genitalia in amniote evolution.

Project description:The move of vertebrates to a terrestrial lifestyle required major adaptations in their locomotory apparatus and reproductive organs. While the fin-to-limb transition has received considerable attention, little is known about the developmental and evolutionary origins of external genitalia. Similarities in gene expression have been interpreted as a potential evolutionary link between the limb and genitals; however, no underlying developmental mechanism has been identified. We re-examined this question using micro-computed tomography, lineage tracing in three amniote clades, and RNA-sequencing-based transcriptional profiling. Here we show that the developmental origin of external genitalia has shifted through evolution, and in some taxa limbs and genitals share a common primordium. In squamates, the genitalia develop directly from the budding hindlimbs, or the remnants thereof, whereas in mice the genital tubercle originates from the ventral and tail bud mesenchyme. The recruitment of different cell populations for genital outgrowth follows a change in the relative position of the cloaca, the genitalia organizing centre. Ectopic grafting of the cloaca demonstrates the conserved ability of different mesenchymal cells to respond to these genitalia-inducing signals. Our results support a limb-like developmental origin of external genitalia as the ancestral condition. Moreover, they suggest that a change in the relative position of the cloacal signalling centre during evolution has led to an altered developmental route for external genitalia in mammals, while preserving parts of the ancestral limb molecular circuitry owing to a common evolutionary origin.

Tgfbr1 controls developmental plasticity between the hindlimb and external genitalia by remodeling their regulatory landscape

Project description:The hindlimb and external genitalia of present-day tetrapods are thought to derive from an ancestral common primordium that evolved to generate a wide diversity of structures adapted for efficient locomotion and mating in the ecological niche conquered by the species. We show that despite long evolutionary distance from the ancestral condition, the early primordium of the mouse external genitalia preserved the capacity to take hindlimb fates. In the absence of Tgfbr1, the pericloacal mesoderm generates an extra pair of hindlimbs at the expense of the external genitalia. It has been shown that the hindlimb and the genital primordia share many of their key regulatory factors. Tgfbr1 controls the response to those factors acting in a pioneer-like mode to modulate the accessibility status of regulatory elements that control the gene regulatory networks leading to the formation of genital or hindlimb structures. Our work uncovers a remarkable tissue plasticity with potential implications in the evolution of the hindlimb/genital area of tetrapods, and identifies a novel mechanism for Tgfbr1 activity that might also contribute to the control of other physiological or pathological processes.

Gene expression profile at single-cell level of regenerating lizard (Anolis carolinensis) tail

Project description:Lizards cannot naturally regenerate limbs but are the closest known relatives of mammals capable of epimorphic tail regrowth. However, the mechanisms regulating lizard blastema derivation and chondrogenesis remain unclear. We utilized single-cell RNA sequencing analyses of regenerating lizard tails throughout the course of regeneration to assess diversity and heterogeneity in regeneating tail cell populations.
