Geminin is required for Hox gene regulation to pattern the developing limb

ABSTRACT: Development of the complex structure of the vertebrate limb requires carefully orchestrated interactions between multiple regulatory pathways and proteins. Among these, precise regulation of 5’ Hox transcription factor expression is essential for proper limb bud patterning and development. Here, we identified Geminin (Gmnn) as a novel regulator of this process. A conditional model of Gmnn deficiency resulted in loss or severe reduction of forelimb skeletal elements, while both the forelimb autopod and hindlimb were unaffected. 5’ Hox gene expression expanded into more proximal and anterior regions of embryonic forelimb buds in this Gmnn-deficient model. A second conditional model of Gmnn deficiency instead caused a similar but less severe reduction of hindlimb skeletal elements and hindlimb polydactyly, while not affecting the forelimb. An ectopic posterior Shh signaling center was evident in the anterior hindlimb bud of Gmnn-deficient embryos in this model. This center ectopically expressed Hoxd13, the Hoxd13 target Shh, and the Shh target Ptch1, while these mutant hindlimb buds also had reduced levels of the cleaved, repressor form of Gli3, a Shh pathway antagonist. Together, this work delineates a new role for Gmnn in modulating Hox expression to pattern the vertebrate limb.

Gene expression changes in limb buds of Nipbl-haploinsufficient mice

Project description:Multiple genes are dysregulated in hindlimb buds of Nipbl-deficient embryos. In all, more than 1000 limb bud genes were found to be significantly altered in expression by microarray analysis of E10.5 mouse hindlimb buds. Small changes in expression (mostly decreases) were observed for genes involved in FGF, BMP, and SHH pathways, as well as numerous genes involved in the Wnt/planar cell polarity signaling pathway. Genes involved in the Mediator complex, Cohesin function, and Hox gene expression and functions were also dysregulated in Nipbl deficient limb buds. Microarray analysis using RNA extracted from E10.5 hindlimb limb buds harvested from stage-matched Nipbl+/- (n=12) and wildtype (n=12)

Comparative transcriptomic analyssi of mouse embryonic tissues and mESCs-derived limb bud-organoid tissues

Project description:We established the differentiation method of a limb bud organoid from mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) using SFEBq. mESCs-derived limb bud organoid selectively differentiate into forelimb or hindlimb by adjusting the retinoic acids activity. To evaluate a correlation of gene expression between limb bud organoid and embryonic tissues (limb bud, branchial arch, cardiac, and tail bud), we performed comparative transcriptome analysis using RNA-seq.

Early limb bud transcriptome analysis between anterior and posterior domain

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. Two samples were analyzed. We generate pairwise comparisons between anterior and posterior limb tissues. Genes with a fold-change ≥1.3 were selected.

Transcription profiling of mouse embryonic autopods to identify differentially expressed genes in developing forlimb and hindlimb tissues

Project description:Transcriptomes of mouse embryonic autopods were generated detecting expression of approximately 26179 transcripts in the developing forelimb or hindlimb autopods, representing about 58 % of the probe sets on MOE-430 A/B GeneChip. Three biological replicate array experiments were finished for each condition and MAS5.0 signal were used to do data analysis. Forty-four transcripts with expression differences higher than 2-fold were detected(T test, P<0.05), including Tbx4, Tbx5, Hoxc10 and Pitx1 which were previously shown to be differentially expressed in developing forelimb and hindlimb bud by in situ hybridization and SAGE study (Margulies 2001). RTPCR and in situ experiments confirmed several top differentially expressed genes which were newly discovered by our experiments. Vast amount of transcripts and its family members such as Bmp, Fgf, Epha, Wnt, T-box and Hox families detected to be highly expressed or differentially expressed in developing autopods, suggesting that the complexity of transcriptomes of developing autopods and dynamic differential expression and differential combinations of gene expression signals in the developing limb tissue contributes to differences in forelimb versus hindlimb patterning. The differentially expressed genes are the essential factors for morphological diversification of developing limb structures.

Transcription profiling of mouse forelimb autopods and genital buds from wild type and homozygous Del9 E12.5 embryos

Project description:Despite the importance of Hox genes in patterning the mouse embryo, few target genes of the Hox transcription factors have been identified. To search for HoxD targets we contrasted gene expression profiles in the presence and absence of the HoxD genes in two tissues where these genes are important in embryonic patterning-the genital bud and the distal domain of the limb. The Del9 mutant, in which all nine HoxD genes are absent, shows perturbed digit and genital morphogenesis. Therefore we used Affymetrix GeneChip arrays to compare gene expression in forelimb autopods and genital buds from wild type and homozygous Del9 E12.5 embryos.

HOX13 activity reprograms cis-regulatory modules during digit development (RNA-Seq)

Project description:The combinatorial expression of the Hox genes along the body axes, referred to as the HOX code, is a major determinant of cell fate and plays a prevailing role in generating the animal body plan. In developing limb buds, the paralogous group 13 genes of the HoxA and HoxD clusters are essential for patterning the distal-most limb structures, the digits. Inactivation of HOXA13 and HOXD13 transcription factors (HOX13) leads to complete digit agenesis in mice, but how HOX13 regulate transcriptional outcomes and confer identity to the distal-most limb cells has remained elusive. Here we performed genome-wide profiling of HOX13 by chromatin immunoprecipitation and analyzed the transcriptome and chromatin state of wild type early and late-distal limb buds, as well as Hoxa13-/-;Hoxd13-/- compound mutant limb buds. Our results show that inactivation of HOX13 impairs the activation and repression of putative cis-regulatory modules specific to the late-distal limb cells. Loss of HOX13 also disrupts the specific, spatial patterning of gene expression along the proximal-distal axis of the developing limb buds. These results show that proper termination of the early limb transcriptional program and activation of the late-distal limb program are coordinated by the dual action of HOX13 on cis-regulatory modules.
