Project description:The general objective of the study was to determine modulation of gene expression by environmental factors, 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. We show that treatment with Para-Thyroid Hormone (PTH) 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 and by gene expression studies of selected genes. 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:The general objective of the study was to determine modulation of gene expression by environmental factors, 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. This experiment was designed as a new type of gravitational experiment, which we like to call \relative microgravity\, referring to the fact that the larvae first grow in hyper gravity for 5 days and are then returned to 1g normal gravity for 1 day. Zebrafish embryos were placed on a Large Diameter Centrifuge at 3 hpf, brought to a gravitational force of 3 g until 5 dpf. Reference embryos were kept in parallel at 1g (Inc). At 5dpf, one batch was left at 3g (3g), one batch was returned to 1g (3g>1g), while a third batch was returned to 1g, but left on the axis of the centrifuge (Axe; 3g>Axe). The experiment was repeated 4 times, each time with 4 batches of 60 larvae.

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 Large Diameter Centrifuge and brought to a gravitational force of 3g or 5g for 24 hours. We show that this treatment causes a clear increase of bone formation, as illustrated by cranial skeleton staining of the bone matrix by Alizarin Red, by morphometric analysis of the resulting images and by gene expression studies of selected genes.

Project description:The F5 generation of a wild-caught population of zebrafish (Danio rerio) from Mymensingh, Bangladesh, were used in this study. Replicate experiments were carried out with adult male fish aged 9 months. Each group was maintained in a 50L tank at 27M-11.5M-:C and 12:12h dark:light photoperiod and fed bloodworms (Ocean NutritionM-^Y, Belgium) to satiety for one week. The experimental protocol involved fasting fish for 7 days and subsequent refeeding a single meal of bloodworms delivered over a 3h period, after which any uneaten food was removed from the tank. Seven fish were sampled at -156, -24, 0 (prior to the meal), 0.75, 3, 6, 7.5, 9, 11, 24, 36h and killed humanely by an overdose of ethyl 3-aminobenzoate methanesulfonate salt (MS-222). Six samples from the 0, 3, and 6h time-points were used in the microarray hybridization.

Project description:Several environmental pollutants, especially organic compounds such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are potent carcinogenic chemicals. Exposure of different fish species to PAHs causes a high prevalence and variety of tumor lesions. To identify and compare the mode of action (MOA) of different model carcinogenic PAHs, a transcriptomic study was carried out in adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) after exposure to 0.3 mg/l of benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P) or to 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA), both of them dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO; final concentration of 0.01%). Samples for microarray analysis were taken after 1 and 2 weeks of exposure. The changes in the mRNA transcription levels over the corresponding controls were compared among treatments. Correspondence analysis was able to discriminate among treatments; factor 1 separated both sampling times while factor 2 separated the compounds. A total number of 3043 transcripts was shown to be differentially regulated in at least one of the treatments. B(a)P treatment produced regulation of sequences related to GO categories associated to cell cycle and cell division whereas DMBA regulated GO terms related to oxidation/reduction responses, responses to chemicals and response to bacterium. Both compounds were able to alter many xenobiotic metabolism related genes, especially upregulating the transcription of phase I metabolism-related genes such as cytochrome P450 members (cyp1a or cyp1b), and many cancer-related genes such as the Jun B proto-oncogene (junb). Overall, these results indicated that the exposure to both PAHs was able to differentially alter the transcription levels of genes involved in both the detoxification metabolism and the cell-cycle control, including different tumor-supressor genes and oncogens. These alterations have been often related to the appearance of tumor lesions. Zebrafish were waterborne exposed to 0.3ppm BaP or DMBA for 1 and 2 weeks. After 1 and 2 weeks hepatic samples were collected from each treatment group as well as from the control group. 3 biological replicates have been collected per exposure group and time point. Each biological replicate is a pool of 5 livers. Samples from the different treatments were hybridized in an n+2 (n = 9) A-optimal loop design. Additionally, these two designs were linked by two extra hybridizations to enable comparison between time points

Project description:Changes in environmental temperature can profoundly change species habitats and result in populations facing suboptimal environments. Many aquatic organisms are restricted in terms of migration by their habitat requirements. Also due to anthropogenic migration barriers (both physical as well as chemical), organisms are often left with no choice but to acclimate (or, in the long run, adapt) to their changing environment. The scope of this study is to investigate thermal acclimation in zebrafish by combining data from several levels of biological organization. Zebrafish were acclimated to a higher temperature (8°C increase compared to controls) or a lower temperature (8°C decrease compared to controls) in an acute as well as a prolonged and a chronic scenario (4, 14 and 28 days). General condition of the fish was assessed by determining organismal (condition factor) and biochemical (energy homeostasis) parameters. Data at the transcriptome level (using printed oligonucleotide microarrays containing 15,208 probes and real time PCR) were applied to clarify the mechanisms underlying the thermal acclimation response in zebrafish. All three biological replicates of liver samples from acute (4 days) and chronic (28 days) controls (26°), warm acclimation (34°) and cold acclimation (18°) were analyzed using microarrays. An A-optimal interwoven loop design was used in which each sample appeared on an array twice in Cy3 and twice in Cy5, resulting in 36 arrays for 18 samples.

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: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 evolutionary origin of vertebrate type 2 immunity is a topic of great interest. Several studies have focused on the immune cell components of evolutionary older vertebrates such as fish. However, how fish cytokines function and whether they have similar roles as in mammals is still a matter of speculation. Here, we have used the zebrafish (Danio rerio) to gain insights into il4/13a and il4/13b genes and characterized their role under both homeostatic and inflammatory conditions. We established knockouts for both il4/13a and il4/13b genes and showed that they are needed to suppress inflammation in larvae and in the gill mucosa. As a counterpoint, we examined the gills of il10 defective zebrafish and revealed the importance of il10 in maintaining homeostasis in this mucosal tissue. As in mammals, zebrafish il10 appears to have an anti-inflammatory function.
