Cell type transcriptome atlas for the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea

ABSTRACT: The transcriptome of a cell dictates its unique cell-type biology. We used single-cell RNA sequencing to determine the transcriptomes for essentially every cell type of a complete animal: the regenerative planarian Schmidtea mediterranea. Planarians contain a diverse array of cell types, possess lineage progenitors for differentiated cells (including pluripotent stem cells), and constitutively express positional information, making them ideal for this undertaking. We generated data for 66,783 cells, defining transcriptomes for known and many previously unknown planarian cell types and for putative transition states between stem and differentiated cells. We also uncovered regionally expressed genes in muscle, which harbors positional information. Identifying the transcriptomes for potentially all cell types for many organisms should be readily attainable and is a powerful new approach to metazoan biology.

Single-muscle-cell transcriptome profiling along the planarian anteroposterior axis

Project description:How positional information instructs adult tissue maintenance is poorly understood. Planarians undergo whole-body regeneration and tissue turnover, providing a model for adult positional information studies. Genes encoding secreted and transmembrane components of multiple developmental pathways are predominantly expressed in planarian muscle cells. Several of these genes regulate regional identity, consistent with muscle harboring positional information. Here, single-cell RNA-sequencing of 115 muscle cells from distinct anterior-posterior regions identified 44 regionally expressed genes, including multiple Wnt and ndk/FGF receptor-like (ndl/FGFRL) genes. Two distinct FGFRL-Wnt circuits, involving juxtaposed anterior FGFRL and posterior Wnt expression domains, controlled planarian head and trunk patterning. ndl-3 and wntP-2 inhibition expanded the trunk, forming ectopic mouths and secondary pharynges, which independently extended and ingested food. fz5/8-4 inhibition, like that of ndk and wntA, caused posterior brain expansion and ectopic eye formation. Our results suggest that FGFRL-Wnt circuits operate within a body-wide coordinate system to control adult axial positioning.

Allometry of cell types in planarians by single cell transcriptomics

Project description:We used scRNA-seq to examine cell type allometry in asexual planarians. We profiled 28,738 single cell transcriptomes of planarian of 3 different sizes categories: small (S), medium (M) and large (L). We detected changes in cell type frequency and gene expression patterns in planarian of different sizes, capturing regulatory programs of distinct cell types in response to allometric scaling.

Multiplex single cell analysis of serotonergic neuron function in planarians reveals widespread effects in diverse cell types

Project description:We used scRNA-seq to examine serotonergic function in asexual planarians. We profiled 47,292 single cell transcriptomes of planarian of 3 different RNAi categories: gfp(RNAi), lhx1/5-1(RNAi) and pitx(RNAi). We detected changes in cell type frequency and gene expression patterns in planarian of different knock-down conditions, capturing regulatory programs of distinct cell types in response to loss of serotonergic function.

equinox RNAi gene expression profiling

Project description:Regeneration is a widespread phenomenon that often requires formation of a new tissue outgrowth at wounds called a blastema. Identifying the key signals that trigger blastema formation is therefore fundamental for understanding the mechanistic basis of regeneration. We uncovered a role for the wound epidermis in regeneration initiation in planarians. The gene equinox is expressed within hours of injury in the planarian wound epidermis and encodes a secreted protein conserved in many phyla. Following equinox inhibition, animals failed to form blastemas, reset positional information, and upregulate stem cell (neoblast) proliferation at wounds. Associated with these defects was an inability to maintain wound-induced gene expression. We propose that activation of equinox in the wound epidermis initiates planarian regeneration.

Planarian stem cell transcriptome

Project description:Many long-lived species of animals require the function of adult stem cells throughout their lives. However, the transcriptomes of stem cells in invertebrates and vertebrates have not been compared, and consequently ancestral regulatory circuits that control stem cell populations remain poorly defined. In this study, we have used data from high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) to compare the transcriptomes of pluripotent adult stem cells from planarians with the transcriptomes of human and mouse pluripotent embryonic stem cells. From a stringently-defined set of 4,432 orthologs shared between planarians, mice and humans, we identified 123 conserved genes that are ≥ 5-fold differentially expressed in stem cells from all three species. Guided by this gene set, we used RNAi screening in adult planarians to discover novel stem cell regulators, which we found to affect the stem cell-associated functions of tissue homeostasis, regeneration, and stem cell maintenance. Examples of genes that disrupted these processes included the orthologs of TBL3, PSD12, TTC27, and RACK1. From these analyses, we concluded that by comparing stem cell transcriptomes from diverse species, it is possible to uncover conserved factors that function in stem cell biology. These results provide insights into which genes composed the ancestral circuitry underlying the control of stem cell self-renewal and pluripotency. Three planarian tissues were analyzed: stem cells, stem cell progeny, and differentiated tissues. For the manuscript: Labbe, RM, et. al., 2012, Stem Cells

H3K36me3 is significantly more enriched at Set1-affected loci than at MLL1/2-affected loci in planarian stem cells

Project description:Histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) is known to correlate with both active and poised genomic loci, yet many questions remain regarding its functional roles in vivo. We identify functional genomic targets of two H3K4 methyltransferases, Set1 and MLL1/2, in both the stem cells (X1) and differentiated tissue (Xins) of the planarian flatworm Schmidtea mediterranea. We show that, despite their common substrate, these enzymes target distinct genomic loci in vivo, which are distinguishable by the footprint each enzyme leaves on the chromatin template, i.e., the breadth of the H3K4me3 peak. Whereas Set1 targets are broadly associated with the maintenance of the stem cell population, MLL1/2 targets are specifically enriched for genes involved in ciliogenesis. These data not only confirm that chromatin regulation is fundamental to planarian stem cell function, but also provide evidence for post-embryonic functional specificity of H3K4me3 methyltransferases in vivo. To test this, we looked at the H3K4me3 chromatin profile in WW, X1 and Xins cell types upon knockdown of set1, mll1/2, as well as WT. Examine binding of H3K36me3 in WT in Planarian. The experiment performed yielded a total of 2 samples. These samples validate the main ChIP samples.
