Analysis of FGF20-regulated genes in organ of Corti progenitors by translating ribosome affinity purification.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Understanding the mechanisms that regulate hair cell (HC) differentiation in the organ of Corti (OC) is essential to designing genetic therapies for hearing loss due to HC loss or damage. We have previously identified Fibroblast Growth Factor 20 (FGF20) as having a key role in HC and supporting cell differentiation in the mouse OC. To investigate the genetic landscape regulated by FGF20 signaling in OC progenitors, we employ Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification combined with Next Generation RNA Sequencing (TRAPseq) in the Fgf20 lineage.

Results

We show that TRAPseq targeting OC progenitors effectively enriched for RNA from this rare cell population. TRAPseq identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) downstream of FGF20, including Etv4, Etv5, Etv1, Dusp6, Hey1, Hey2, Heyl, Tectb, Fat3, Cpxm2, Sall1, Sall3, and cell cycle regulators such as Cdc20. Analysis of Cdc20 conditional-null mice identified decreased cochlea length, while analysis of Sall1-null and Sall1-ΔZn2-10 mice, which harbor a mutation that causes Townes-Brocks syndrome, identified a decrease in outer hair cell number.

Conclusions

We present two datasets: genes with enriched expression in OC progenitors, and DEGs downstream of FGF20 in the embryonic day 14.5 cochlea. We validate select DEGs via in situ hybridization and in vivo functional studies in mice.

Analysis of FGF20-regulated genes in differentiating cochlear hair and supporting cell progenitors via ribosome affinity purification

Project description:Background: Understanding the developmental mechanisms that regulate hair cell differentiation in the cochlea is essential to designing genetic therapies for acquired hearing loss due to hair cell loss or damage. We have previously identified Fibroblast Growth Factor 20 (FGF20) as having a key role in hair cell and supporting cell differentiation and patterning in the mouse cochlear sensory epithelium. To investigate the genetic landscape regulated by FGF20 signaling in hair cell and supporting cell progenitors, we employ Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification (TRAP) combined with Next Generation mRNA Sequencing (TRAPseq). Methods: In mice, we used Fgf20-Cre to activate ROSA-fsTRAP in hair cell and supporting cell progenitors, and then collected translating mRNA using TRAP from Fgf20+/- (control) and Fgf20-/- cochleae. Library preparation and sequencing were done in two separate experiments, each with 12 samples that included 2 pre-TRAP (pre-immunoprecipitation) Fgf20+/- samples, 2 TRAP Fgf20+/- samples, 4 pre-TRAP Fgf20-/- samples, and 4 TRAP Fgf20-/- samples. Samples were sequenced via Illumina HiSeq 3000. We compared pre-TRAP (pre-immunoprecipitation) samples with TRAP mRNA samples to validate the TRAP technique as well as identify genes enriched in our target cell population. We also compared Fgf20+/- and Fgf20-/- TRAP mRNA samples to identify differentially expressed genes downstream of FGF20 during hair cell and supporting cell differentiation. Results: TRAPseq targeting the prosensory cell population effectively enriches for translating mRNA within this rare cell population. TRAPseq comparing Fgf20+/- and Fgf20-/- samples identified differentially expressed genes downstream of FGF20. These included FGF-response genes Etv4, Etv5, Etv1, and Dusp6, as well as genes associated with cochlea development and hearing, such as Hey1, Hey2, Heyl, Tectb, Fat3, Cpxm2, Sall1, and cell cycle regulators such as Cdc20.

Cell type-specific mRNA purification by translating ribosome affinity purification (TRAP).

Project description:Cellular diversity and architectural complexity create barriers to understanding the function of the mammalian CNS at a molecular level. To address this problem, we have recently developed a methodology that provides the ability to profile the entire translated mRNA complement of any genetically defined cell population. This methodology, which we termed translating ribosome affinity purification, or TRAP, combines cell type-specific transgene expression with affinity purification of translating ribosomes. TRAP can be used to study the cell type-specific mRNA profiles of any genetically defined cell type, and it has been used in organisms ranging from Drosophila melanogaster to mice and human cultured cells. Unlike other methodologies that rely on microdissection, cell panning or cell sorting, the TRAP methodology bypasses the need for tissue fixation or single-cell suspensions (and the potential artifacts that these treatments introduce) and reports on mRNAs in the entire cell body. This protocol provides a step-by-step guide to implement the TRAP methodology, which takes 2 d to complete once all materials are in hand.

Identification of Genes Enriched in GnRH Neurons by Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification and RNAseq in Mice.

Project description:Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons are a nexus of fertility regulation. We used translating ribosome affinity purification coupled with RNA sequencing to examine messenger RNAs of GnRH neurons in adult intact and gonadectomized (GDX) male and female mice. GnRH neuron ribosomes were tagged with green fluorescent protein (GFP) and GFP-labeled polysomes isolated by immunoprecipitation, producing one RNA fraction enhanced for GnRH neuron transcripts and one RNA fraction depleted. Complementary DNA libraries were created from each fraction and 50-base, paired-end sequencing done and differential expression (enhanced fraction/depleted fraction) determined with a threshold of >1.5- or <0.66-fold (false discovery rate P ? 0.05). A core of ?840 genes was differentially expressed in GnRH neurons in all treatments, including enrichment for Gnrh1 (?40-fold), and genes critical for GnRH neuron and/or gonadotrope development. In contrast, non-neuronal transcripts were not enriched or were de-enriched. Several epithelial markers were also enriched, consistent with the olfactory epithelial origins of GnRH neurons. Interestingly, many synaptic transmission pathways were de-enriched, in accordance with relatively low innervation of GnRH neurons. The most striking difference between intact and GDX mice of both sexes was a marked downregulation of genes associated with oxidative phosphorylation and upregulation of glucose transporters in GnRH neurons from GDX mice. This may suggest that GnRH neurons switch to an alternate fuel to increase adenosine triphosphate production in the absence of negative feedback when GnRH release is elevated. Knowledge of the GnRH neuron translatome and its regulation can guide functional studies and can be extended to disease states, such as polycystic ovary syndrome.

Interrogating translating RNAs and cell-type specific gene expression using Cre-activated translating ribosome affinity purification

Project description:We characterize a Cre-activated TRAP allele (Rosa26fsTRAP) to show that endothelium-specific activation of Rosa26fsTRAP identifies endothelial cell enriched transcripts, and that cardiomyocyte-restricted TRAP is a useful means to identify genes that are differentially expressed in cardiomyocytes in a disease model. We also show that TRAP is an effective means to study translational regulation, and we several nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes are under strong translational control. These RNA-seq data show that the TRAP strategy and the Rosa26fsTRAP allele will be useful tools to probe cell type specific transcriptomes, and to study translational regulation. Study TRAP RNA and total RNA in two cases: heart specific tissues, Banding or Sham, using RNA-seq technology.

Translational profiling of zebrafish retina cells using translating ribosome affinity purification methods

Project description:Translating ribosome affinity purification (TRAP) methods allow cell-specific recovery of polyribosome-associated RNAs by genetic tagging of ribosomes in selected cell populations. In this study, we purified and analysed the polyribosome-associated RNA fraction of zebrafish embryo´s retinas at 22 hours post-fertilization. To this aim, we generated a transgenic strain in which the tagged ribosomes expression is restricted to the retina cells due to the activity of a specific promoter.

Examining efficiency of enrichment of kidney pericyte-specific messages by TRAP (Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification)

Project description:The long term goal is to define the transcriptional changes that accompany pericyte-to-myofibroblast transition in fibrotic kidney disease. Medullary pericytes are identified by their expression of a eGFPL10a fusion protein whose expression is driven by a Col1a1 promoter. Pericyte-specific RNA is generated by eGFP-affinity purification of polysomes from medullary lysates and then subject to microarray analysis. Col1a1-eGFPL10a mice were subject to Sham or unilateral ureteral obstruction surgery. Sham kidneys were collected at day 0, and UUO kidneys were collected at day 2 or day 5 for TRAP.
