Project description:Compared to other fish models, miRNAs are currently most extensively studied and identified in zebrafish. Approximately 415 dre-miRNAs have been identified and several articles have studied some aspect of miRNA function in zebrafish such as their role in basic development and in disease pathways. However, this field of research is in its infancy and the function of several dre-miRNAs, as well as their tissue-specific expression profile, are yet to be defined. In this study, the liver and gut were dissected (wildtype/untreated fish), total and small RNA were extracted, mRNA and miRNA libraries constructed and subjected to high throughput sequencing (HTS) using standard approaches. We carried out differential expression (DE) analysis and compared liver miRNA expression to gut using established bioinformatics pipelines. Through bioinformatics analysis, known and putative novel miRNAs were identified. Finally, we constructed a “miRNA matrix” that connects both total RNA-Seq and miRNA-Seq.

Project description:Purpose: We report the application of NGS for the impacts of BDE47 exposure on the miRNA expression profiling of zebrafish larvae. Methods: miRNA profiles of 6-day-old BDE47-treated and control zebrafish larvae were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina Hisq 2000 platform. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with TopHat followed by Cufflinks. Results: Compared BDE47 treatments with solvent control, a dozen of validated zebrafish miRNAs, including dre-miR-142a-3p, dre-miR-142b-5p, dre-miR-144-3p, dre-miR-146a, dre-miR-190a, dre-miR-219-5p, dre-miR-301b-3p, dre-miR-459-5p, rno-miR-33-5p, dre-miR-735-3p, and dre-miR-735-5p, significantly changed their expressions. Conclusions: This study provides a framework for the application of high-throughput sequencing towards characterization of the impacts of BDE47 on whole zebrafish larval miRNA expression profiling.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression primarily at the post-transcriptional levels and thereby play important roles in regulating many physiological and developmental processes. Oocyte maturation in fish is induced by hormones produced from the hypothalamus, pituitary, and ovary. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulates the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH), which in turn, induces the secretion of maturation-inducing hormone (MIH) from the ovary. It is documented that small early vitellogenic (or stage IIIa) follicles are unable to undergo oocyte maturation whereas oocytes in mid- to late vitellogenic (stage IIIb) follicles can be induced by LH and MIH to become mature. To determine whether miRNAs may be involved in the growth and acquisition of maturational competency of ovarian follicles, we determined the miRNA expression profiles in follicular cells collected from stage IIIa and IIIb follicles using next-generation sequencing. It was found that miRNAs are abundantly expressed in the follicular cells from both stages IIIa and IIIb follicles. Furthermore, bioinformatics analysis revealed the presence of 214 known, 31 conserved novel and 44 novel miRNAs in zebrafish vitellogenic ovarian follicular cells. Most mature miRNAs in follicular cells were found to be in the length of 22 nucleotides. Differential expression analysis revealed that 11 miRNAs were significantly up-regulated, and 13 miRNAs were significantly down-regulated in the stage IIIb follicular cells as compared with stage IIIa follicular cells. The expression of four of the significantly regulated miRNAs, dre-miR-22a-3p, dre-miR-16a, dre-miR-181a-3p, and dre-miR-29a, was validated by real-time PCR. Finally, gene enrichment and pathway analyses of the predicted targets of the significantly regulated miRNAs supported the involvement of several key signaling pathways in regulating ovarian function, including oocyte maturation. Taken together, this study identifies novel zebrafish miRNAs and characterizes miRNA expression profiles in somatic cells within the zebrafish ovarian follicles. The differential expression of miRNAs between stage IIIa and IIIb follicular cells suggests that these miRNAs are important regulators of zebrafish ovarian follicle development and/or oocyte maturation.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play vital roles in various biological processes by leading to mRNA cleavage or translational repression, and are also involved in multiple stress conditions. However, the detailed roles of miRNAs in cold acclimation in fish are still unclear. In the present study, high-throughput sequencing was performed to identify miRNAs from 6 small RNA libraries from the zebrafish embryonic fibroblast ZF4 cells under control (28°C, 30 days) and cold-acclimation (18°C, 30 days) conditions. A total of 414 miRNAs, 349 known and 65 novel, were identified. Among those miRNAs, 24 (19 known and 5 novel) were up-regulated, and 23 (9 known and 14 novel) were down-regulated in cold acclimated cells. The Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses indicated that the known differentially expressed miRNAs (DE-miRNA) are involved in cold acclimation by regulation of phosphorylation, cell junction, intracellular signal transduction, ECM-receptor interaction and so on. Moreover, dre-miR-100-3p inhibitor or dre-miR-16b mimics could protect ZF4 cells under cold stress, indicating the involvement of miRNA in cold acclimation. In summary, the present data show that miRNAs are closely involved in cold acclimation in fish and provide information for further understanding of the roles of miRNAs in cold acclimation.

Project description:In this study, we generated a zebrafish model of DBA with RPL5 morphants and implemented high-throughput RNA-seq and miRNA-seq to identify key genes, lncRNAs, and miRNAs during zebrafish development and hematopoiesis. We found that RPL5 is required for both primitive and definitive hematopoiesis processes that are partially mediated by the P53 pathway. Several genes such as cirh1a, noc2l, tars, and nol6 and miRNAs such as dre-miR-10a*, dre-miR-722, dre-miR-737, and dre-miR-142a-3p were significantly deregulated, and these changes may play a crucial role in hematopoiesis, ribosome biogenesis and development process. We also characterized the lncRNome in zebrafish with RPL5 deficiency. By constructing a comprehensive regulatory network, we identified central node genes in the network connected to the P53 pathway, almost all of which were targeted by the significantly deregulated miRNAs listed above. Our results therefore establish a regulatory network for critical genes and miRNAs involved in the RPL5-deficient zebrafish model and provide a comprehensive basis for the molecular pathogenesis of RPL5-mediated DBA and other ribosomopathies.

Project description:Recent evidence has suggested that fluoxetine, a serotonin-reuptake inhibitor and emerging environmental contaminant, can have non-targeted effects on metabolism in fish exposed to this waterborne pollutant. Using the highest, environmentally relevant, detectable level of fluoxetine (540 ng/L) we examined the impact of fluoxetine on the miRNA profile in the liver of zebrafish that were both fed and fasted for a period of 7 days. These results were further compared to the miRNA profile of zebrafish fasted and fed for 7 days, which were not exposed to fluoxetine. Results indicated that several miRNA that were involved with downregulating genes/pathways in response to fasting were also upregulated in fish exposed to fluoxetine, irrespective to fasting or feeding. These results suggest fluoxetine can have non-targeted effects on metabolic pathways mediated through miRNA expression. Furthermore, specific miRNA (dre-let-7d & dre-miR-140-5p) were found to target the catalytic subunit (AMPKa1 & AMPKa2, respectively) of AMP-Kinase, a master regulator of metabolism. Using predictive software and qPCR validation, combined with the expression profile of these two miRNA, we were able to establish a significant relationship between the expression of these specific miRNA to the downregulation of AMPKa subunit under the influence of 540 ng/L fluoxetine. Adult, female zebrafish were either fed or fasted for 7 days with and without the presense of 540 ng/L fluoxetine, and livers extracted and miRNA purified for miRNA microaary experiment.

Project description:This study reports on infection-inducible miRNAs in zebrafish. Using a custom-designed microarray platform for miRNA expression we found that miRNAs of the miR-21, miR-29, and miR-146 families were commonly induced by infection of zebrafish embryos with Salmonella typhimurium and by infection of adult fish with Mycobacterium marinum. A custom-designed Agilent zebrafish 8x15k miRNA platform was used to profile miRNA expression in zebrafish embryos infected with Salmonella typhimurium strain SL1027 and adult zebrafish infected with Mycobacterium marinum strain Mma20 . The 15k design contained a duplicate of 7604 probes of 60-oligonucleotide length. The probes consisted of 2x22 nucleotide sequences antisense to mature miRNAs separated by a spacer of 8 nucleotides (CGATCTTT) and with a second spacer with the same sequence at the end. From 7604 probes 546 were designed for left (5') and right (3') arms of the hairpins of zebrafish miRNAs known in miRBase, while the remainder 7058 probes corresponded to predicted hairpin structures in the zebrafish genome that might include additional miRNAs but were not considered in this study. Zebrafish embryos were infected at 28 hours post fertilization (hpf) by injecting 200-250 colony forming units of Salmonella typhimurium into the caudal vein and miRNA profiles of infected embryos were compared to control embryos injected with PBS (phosphate buffered saline) at 8 hours post-infection (hpi; 3 biological replicates and 2 technical replicates per each sample). Adult zebrafish were infected with 10000 colony forming units of Mycobacterium marinum and miRNA profiles were compared to PBS-injected control fish at 6 days post infection (dpi; 3 biological replicates). For dual color hybridization of the Agilent chips miRNA samples from infected zebrafish were labeled with Hy3 and samples from control fish were labeled with Hy5.

Project description:The role of microRNAs in gene regulation has been well established. The extent of miRNA regulation also increases with increasing genome complexity. Though the number of genes appear to be equal between human and zebrafish, substantially less microRNAs have been discovered in zebrafish compared to human (Release 19). It appears that most of the miRNAs in zebrafish are yet to be discovered. We sequenced small RNAs from brain, gut, liver, ovary, testis, eye, heart and embryo of zebrafish. In brain, gut and liver sequencing was done in male and female separately. Majority of the sequenced reads (16-62%) mapped to known miRNAs, with the exception of ovary (5.7%) and testis (7.8%). Using the miRNA discovery tool (miRDeep2), we discovered novel miRNAs from the un-annotated reads that ranged from 7.6 to 23.0%, with exceptions of ovary (51.4%) and testis (55.2%). The prediction tool identified a total of 459 novel pre-miRNAs. We compared expression of miRNAs between different tissues and between males and females to identify tissue associated and sex associated miRNAs respectively. These miRNAs could serve as putative biomarkers for these tissues. The brain and liver had highest number of tissue associated (22) and sex associated (34) miRNAs, respectively. This study comprehensively identifies tissue and sex associated miRNAs in zebrafish. Further, we have discovered 459 novel pre-miRNAs (~30% seed homology to human miRNA) as a genomic resource which can facilitate further investigations to understand miRNA-mRNA gene regulatory networks in zebrafish which will have implications in understanding the function of human homologs. Known miRNA profiling, novel miRNA discovery and identification of tissue associated and sex associated miRNAs from sRNA deep sequencing data of different tissues and embryo of zebrafish (in triplicate) was carried out using the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform.
