Project description:Great progress has been made in identifying transcriptional programs that establish stem cell identity. In contrast, we have limited insight into how these programs are down-graded in a timely manner to halt proliferation and allow for cellular differentiation. Drosophila embryonic neuroblasts undergo such a temporal progression, initially dividing to bud off daughters that divide once (type I), then switching to generating non-dividing daughters (type 0), and finally exiting the cell cycle. We identify six early transcription factors that drive neuroblast and type I daughter proliferation. Early factors are gradually replaced by three late factors, acting to trigger the type I->0 daughter proliferation switch and eventually to stop neuroblasts. Early and late factors regulate each other and four key cell cycle genes, providing a logical genetic pathway for these transitions. The identification of this extensive driver-stopper temporal program controlling neuroblast lineage progression may have implications for studies in many other systems.

Project description:Bud formation is an adaptive trait that temperate forest trees have acquired to facilitate seasonal synchronization. We have characterized transcriptome-level changes that occur during bud formation of white spruce (Picea glauca [Moench] Voss.), a primarily determinate species in which preformed stem units contained within the apical bud constitute most of next season's growth. Microarray analysis identified 4460 differentially expressed sequences in shoot tips during short day-induced bud formation. Cluster analysis revealed distinct temporal patterns of expression, and functional classification of genes in these clusters implied molecular processes that coincide with anatomical changes occurring in the developing bud. Comparing expression profiles in developing buds under long day and short day conditions identified possible photoperiod-responsive genes that may not be essential for bud development. Several genes putatively associated with hormone signalling were identified, and hormone quantification revealed distinct profiles for ABA, cytokinins, auxin and their metabolites that can be related to morphological changes to the bud. Comparison of gene expression profiles during bud formation in different tissues revealed 108 genes that are differentially expressed only in developing buds and show greater transcript abundance in developing buds than other tissues. These findings provide a temporal roadmap of bud formation in white spruce.

These findings provide a temporal roadmap of bud formation in white spruce. Shoot tips (terminal buds), needles, and secondary stems were collected from two-year-old white spruce plants over a 10-week time course of 0, 1, 3, 7, 14, 28, and 70 days after switching from 6 to 8 weeks of long daylight photoperiods (LD; 16 hours of light and 8 hours of dark) to short daylight photoperiods (SD; 8 hours of daylight and 16 hours of dark). Remaining plants were kept in short days for an additional 8-15 weeks, and then transferred to low temperature (LT; 2°C to 4°C) for 3 to 4 weeks with continuing SD prior to harvest. Another set of plants was grown and harvested under the same conditions as described above, but remained in LD at all times. Four sets of dye-swap design microarray experiments were conducted. The first set of experiments (samples 1-7) studied the SD time course of buds development. Terminal buds from each time point (1d, 3d, 7d, 14d, 28d, and 70d) and LT were co-hybridized with actively growing shoot tips (0d). The same time point comparison (without LT) of shoot tips from LD-treated trees was carried out as the second set of experiments (samples 8-13). The third experiment (samples 14-20) denoted a separate LD/SD comparison at seven different time points (0d, 1d, 3d, 7d, 14d, 28d, and 70d), and the last experiment (samples 21-26) compared SD shoot tips, needles, and secondary stems with each of the other tissues at 14d and 70d. In each experiment, four biological replicates were used, with two replicates representing the dye-swaps.

Project description:The apical ectodermal ridge (AER) is a transient ectodermal population of cells that defines the dorso-ventral border of the developing limb bud. It functions as a major signaling centre that, through the secretion of various growth factors including FGF8, instructs the growth and patterning of the developing limb. We have identified that the AER expresses markers of cellular senescence and wanted to examine if there was any overlap with oncogene-induced senescence, an adult form of senescence induced in premalignant lesions. To achieve this, we microdissected the AER from embryonic day 11.5 mouse embryos. In addition, we collected the surface ectoderm from the proximal limb bud, that was not senescent and profiled both populations, to identify those genes that are enriched in the AER

Surface ectoderm from the posterior limb was used as a comparative control. Samples from 2-3 mice were pooled for each replicate, for 3-4 replicates.

Project description:The early limb bud consists of mesenchymal progenitors (limb progenitors) derived from the lateral plate mesoderm (LPM) that produce most of the tissues of the mature limb bud. The LPM also gives rise to the mesodermal components of the trunk, flank and neck. However, the mesenchymal cells generated at these other axial levels cannot produce the variety of cell types found in the limb bud, nor can they be directed to form a patterned appendage-like structure, even when placed in the context of the signals responsible for organizing the limb bud. Here, by taking advantage of a direct reprogramming approach, we find a set of factors (Prdm16, Zbtb16, and Lin28) normally expressed in the early limb bud, that are capable of imparting limb progenitor-like properties to non-limb fibroblasts. Cells reprogrammed by these factors show similar gene expression profiles, and can differentiate into similar cell types, as endogenous limb progenitors. The further addition of Lin41 potentiates proliferation of the reprogrammed cells while suppressing differentiation. These results suggest that these same four key factors may play pivotal roles in the specification of endogenous limb progenitors.

Project description:ChIP-seq is combined with RNA-seq analysis to identify the TBX3 and HAND2 target genes during mouse limb bud development. This analysis identifies the DEGs and direct transcriptional targets of HAND2 and TBX3 during the early determinative period critical to establishment of limb axis polarity and the SHH signaling center in the posterior limb bud mesenchyme. In particular, bioinformatics analysis identifies the target gene networks that are co-regulated by both TBX3 and HAND2 transcription factors in the limb bud mesenchyme. A significant fraction of the target genes identified are required for normal limb bud development and their spatio-temporal expression patterns are changed in mutant limb buds at early stages. This project was supported by SNSF Grant 310030_184734 to Rolf Zeller (project partner: Aimée Zuniga).

Project description:Shh signal mediated by Gli family of transcription factors regulates digit growth and patterning in early limb development. Shh expression in the posterior margin of the limb bud defines the zone of polarizing activity. However, much less is know about downstream targets that mediate Shh signal functions. In this dataset, we include the expression data obtained from dissected anterior and posterior halves of mouse limb bud respectively. These data are used to obtain 889 transcripts that were upregulated 1.3 fold or more in the posterior limb bud, and 1189 transcripts that were enriched in the anterior limb bud at 1.3 fold or more.
