Project description:The spontaneous mutant Bronx waltzer (bv) mouse line is characterized by deafness and balance defect. We located the bv mutation to the Srrm4 gene which encodes a regulator of alternative pre-mRNA splicing. We found that Srrm4 is expressed in balance and hearing organs (i.e. in the vestibular maculas and the cochlea). Srrm4 is also expressed in the central nervous system including the cerebellum. To identify potential splicing defects in bv/bv mice, we analyzed RNA samples from the vestibular maculas and cerebellums of bv/bv mice and control (bv/+) littermates, using mouse exon junction microarrays (MJAY). In this dataset, we include probe-set level data obtained from vestibular macula samples. The processed data represent probe-set intensities that have been normalized to gene expression levels (Inorm). Inorm was calculated using batch-corrected data as well as data that were not corrected for a batch effect. 7 total samples were analyzed: vestibular maculas from 4 heterozygous (bv/+) and 3 homozygous (bv/bv) mouse embryos at E16.5.

Project description:We developed cell2location, a principled and versatile Bayesian model that is designed to resolve fine-grained cell types in spatial transcriptomic data and create comprehensive cellular maps of diverse tissues. To validate cell2location in real tissue, we applied the model to data from the mouse brain, which features diverse neural cell types organised in a well characterised spatial architecture across brain areas, thus presenting a canonical use case to test spatial genomics. We generated matched single nucleus (sn, this submission) and Visium spatial RNA-seq (10X Genomics) profiles of adjacent mouse brain sections that contain multiple regions from the telencephalon and diencephalon. To assess the biological and intra-organ technical variation in spatial mapping, we assayed two mouse brains and serial tissue sections from each brain (total of 3 and 2 matched sections from two animals, respectively, and an extra section for snRNA-seq), creating a rich multi-modal and replicated transcriptomic dataset. Tissue processing. Brains of wild-type adult C57BL/6 mice (postnatal day 56, 1 female and 1 male) were dissected, snap frozen, embedded in optimal cutting temperature compound (Tissue-Tek) and stored at -80oC. Brain hemispheres were cryosectioned at -20oC using a cryostat (Leica, CM3050S). To assess tissue quality, RNA was extracted from test tissue sections using the RNeasy Pico Kit (Qiagen) and yielded high RIN values (9.6 and 9.7) on an Agilent Bioanalyser, indicating high RNA quality. For matched single nuclei and Visium RNA-seq experiments, brain hemispheres were cryosectioned to adjacent thick (200 µm) and thin (10 µm) coronal sections, respectively, and processed the same day. In total, four consecutive sets of thick and thin tissue sections were collected from each brain. Five sets of tissue sections yielded both good quality single nuclei and Visium data (three adjacent sections from mouse 1 and two sections from mouse 2) while one additional section from mouse 2 yielded good single nuclei; these were considered for analysis in this study. Visium spatial transcriptomics. Thin (10 µm) mouse brain sections were cryosectioned and mounted directly onto separate capture areas on 10X Visium Spatial Gene Expression slides (beta product version). Processing was done per manufacturer’s protocols. Briefly, sections were methanol-fixed, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained, and imaged on a NanoZoomer 2.0 slide scanner (Hamamatsu). Sections were then permeabilized and further processed to obtain cDNA libraries that were quality controlled using the Agilent Bioanalyser. The cDNA libraries were sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 4000 system, aiming at 300 million raw reads per section with read lengths 28cy R1, 8cy i7 index, 0cy i5 index, 91cy read 2. 10X Visium spatial sequencing data was aligned to mouse pre-mRNA genome reference version mm10 using 10X SpaceRanger and mRNA count matrices were generated by adding intronic and exonic reads for each gene in each location. The paired histology H&E images were processed using 10X SpaceRanger to select locations covered by tissue by aligning pre-recorded spot locations with fiducial border spots in the histology image. This allows evaluating the correspondence between cell maps produced using our method and the known brain anatomy. This also allows identifying the number of nuclei in each spot using nuclear segmentation as described in Suppl. Methods and reported in Fig S8A-D. The histology image was used to manually annotate cortical layers in the primary somatosensory cortex (SSp) region using the lasso tool in the 10X Loupe browser.

Project description:It has been proposed that two amino acid substitutions in the transcription factor FOXP2 have been positively selected during human evolution due to effects on aspects of speech and language. Here, we introduce these substitutions into the endogenous Foxp2 gene.of mice. Although these mice are generally healthy, they have qualitatively different ultrasonic vocalizations, decreased exploratory behavior and decreased dopamine concentrations in the brain suggesting an effect of the humanized Foxp2 allele on basal ganglia. In the striatum, a part of the basal ganglia that is affected in humans with a speech deficit due to one non-functional FOXP2 allele, we find that medium spiny neurons have increased dendrite lengths and increased synaptic plasticity. Since mice carrying one non-functional Foxp2 allele show opposite effects, this suggests that alterations in cortico-basal ganglia circuits might have been important for the evolution of speech and language in humans. In this particular experiment, we investigate the effects of human Foxp2 (Foxp2hum) and the non-functional Foxp2 allele on striatal gene expression in embryonic, young and adult mice. We determined genome-wide gene expression patterns in striatal biopsies from Foxp2hum/hum, Foxp2wt/ko and Foxp2wt/wt mice using high-density oligonucleotide arrays. The animals were derived from two independent FoxP2 knock-in strains and one knock-out strain. In total 71 animals were used, 29 males and 42 females. The mice ages were E16.5, P15, P18, P21 and P95 when sacrificed. The microarrays were processed in totally six batches.

Single nucleus RNA-sequencing. Thick (200 µm) mouse brain sections were cryosectioned, dissected from OCT and kept in a tube on dry ice until subsequent processing. Nuclei were extracted from each section as described previously. Briefly, nuclei were released from sections via Dounce homogenisation, Hoechst-stained, and isolated via fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Nuclei were then loaded into the 10X Chromium Single Cell 3′ Kit (v3) to obtain 3,000-7,000 nuclei per well, and library preparation was done per manufacturer’s protocol. Libraries were sequenced on an Illumina NovaSeq S4 system. Sequencing data were processed using 10X CellRanger version 3.0.2, aligned to mouse pre-mRNA genome reference version mm10 and mRNA count matrices were generated by adding intronic and exonic unique molecular identifier (UMI) counts for each gene in each cell. Initially, snRNA-seq counts were processed using standard Seurat V3 workflow without correcting batch effects between 6 individual samples.

Project description:In most species, early germline development occurs in the absence of transcription with germline determinants subject to complex translational and post-translational regulations. Here, we report for the first time that early germline development is influenced by dynamic regulation of the proteasome system, previously thought to be ubiquitously expressed and to serve ‘housekeeping’ roles in controlling protein homeostasis. We show that proteasomes are present in a gradient with highest levels in the animal hemisphere but extending into the vegetal hemisphere of Xenopus oocytes. This distribution changes dramatically during the oocyte-to-embryo transition, with proteasomes becoming enriched in and restricted to the animal hemisphere and therefore separated from vegetally localized germline determinants. We identify Dead-end1 (Dnd1), a master regulator of vertebrate germline development, as a novel substrate of the ubiquitin-independent proteasomes. In the oocyte, ubiquitin-independent proteasomal degradation acts together with translational repression to prevent premature accumulation of Dnd1 protein. In the embryo, artificially increasing ubiquitin-independent proteasomal degradation in the vegetal pole interferes with germline development. Our work thus reveals novel inhibitory functions and spatial regulation of the ubiquitin-independent proteasome during vertebrate germline development.

Project description:In the adult mouse, distinct morphological and transcriptional differences separate stomach from intestinal epithelium. Remarkably, the epithelial boundary between these two organs is literally one cell thick. This discrete junction is established suddenly and precisely at embryonic day (E) 16.5, by sharpening a previously diffuse intermediate zone. In the present study, we define the dynamic transcriptome of stomach, pylorus and intestinal tissues between E14.5 and E16.5. We show that establishment of this boundary is concomitant with the induction of over a thousand genes in intestinal epithelium, and these gene products provide intestinal character. Hence, we call this process intestinalization. We identify specific transcription factors (Hnf4g, Creb3l3 and Tcfec) and examine signaling pathways (Hedgehog and Wnt) that may play a role in this process. Finally, we define a unique expression domain at the pylorus itself and detect novel pylorus-specific patterns for the transcription factor Gata3 and the secreted protein nephrocan. Experiment Overall Design: Stomach, pylorus and duodenum tissue from E14.5 and E16.5 mouse embryos were collected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to study the gene expression profiles and identify genes and pathways enriched in these three tissues at two important developmental times.

Project description:X chromosome reactivation (XCR) occurs over a prolonged period during genome-wide reprogramming in female germ cells, initiating soon after primordial germ cell specification. The kinetics of XCRs remain poorly understood, as previous studies of XCR were based on a few genes. For a global appraisal of XCR dynamics, we performed single-cell RNA-seq on F1 female (XX(Xist∆)) and male (XY) germ cells from E9.5 to E16.5 stages in development. Through the incorporation of interspecific crosses between C57B6J (B6) and Castaneus (CAST) parental mouse strains, containing a high number of informative single-nucleotide variants, we are able to distinguish gene expression from parental chromosomes in F1 embryos computationally.

Project description:Conditional disruption of Klf4 in the ectoderm-derived tissues of the eye results in defective cornea, conjunctiva and the lens. Expression of Klf4 is first detected in the embryonic day-12 (E12) mouse lens, peaks at E16, and declines thereafter. Lenses from Mice which were conditional null for Klf4 (Klf4CN) were characterized by morphology and transcriptome. Wild type and Klf4-conditional null mouse lens gene expression at embryonic day 16.5 (E16.5) and postnatal day 56 (PN56) was surveyed using Affymetrix mouse whole genome 430 2 arrays.
