Comparative transcriptome analysis of the regenerating zebrafish telencephalon unravels a key regulatory role for Wnt/β-catenin signaling at the early wound healing stage

ABSTRACT: Adult zebrafish can completely regenerate a wide range of injured organs including the CNS. RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) is a high-throughput sequencing method facilitating quantification of gene expression in a precisely manner. Development of RNA-Seq technologies and their extensive data-analysis methods make investigation of regulatory genes and functional gene annotations possible under specific conditions. In this study, we reveal the whole transcriptome profiles of both the lesioned and unlesioned hemispheres of the zebrafish telencephalon at early wound healing (20 hour post lesion) and early proliferative (3 day post lesion) stages of regeneration. Moreover, we uncover Wnt/β-catenin signaling as a key pathway that is activated at the early wound healing stage.

Project description:Adult zebrafish can completely regenerate their caudal fin following amputation. This complex process is initiated by the formation of an epithelial would cap over the amputation site by 12 hours post amputation (hpa). Once the cap is formed, mesenchymal cells proliferate and migrate from sites distal to the wound plane and accumulate under the epithelial cap forming the blastemal structure within 48 hpa. Blastemal cells proliferate and differentiate, replacing the amputated tissues, which are populated with angiogenic vessels and innervating nerves during the regenerative outgrowth phase which is completed around 14 days post amputation (dpa). Regenerative outgrowth does not occur in TCDD-exposed zebrafish. To identify the molecular pathways that are perturbed by TCDD exposure, male zebrafish were i.p. injected with 50 ng/g TCDD or vehicle and caudal fins were amputated. Regenerating fin tissue was collected at 1, 3 and 5 dpa for mRNA abundance analysis. Microarray analysis and quantitative real time PCR revealed that wound healing and regeneration alone altered the expression of nearly 900 genes by at least two fold between 1 and 5 dpa. TCDD altered the abundance of 370 genes at least two fold. Among these, several known aryl hydrocarbon responsive genes were identified in addition to several genes involved in extracellular matrix composition and metabolism. The profile of misexpressed genes is suggestive of impaired cellular differentiation and extracellular matrix composition potentially regulated by Sox9b. Experiment Overall Design: Regenerating fins were isolated at 1, 3 and 5 days post amputation. Three replicates were collected at each time point. 10 fins were pooled to comprise one replicate. Fish were dosed at 0 days post amputation with vehicle control alone or 50 ng/g TCDD.
