Project description:Gene expression profiling has provided critical insights into the molecular pathways underlying development of model organisms, however little information is available on regulated gene expression during human embryogenesis. We have now filled this important gap of knowledge by performing genome-wide microarray analysis of the Homo sapiens gene expression during the 4-9th week, a period when most organs develop. We analyzed individually 3 embryos for each of the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th week of human embryonic development by using the Affymetrix U133 plus 2.0 human GeneChip array.About half of all human genes are expressed and 18.6% of the expressed genes were significantly regulated during this important period. We further identified over 5000 regulated genes, most of which were previously not known to be associated with animal development. Our study also revealed that the genes involved here are distinct from those during early embryogenesis, which include three groups of maternal genes. Furthermore, we discovered that genes in a given developmental process are coordinately regulated. This led us to develop an easily searchable database of this entire collection of gene expression profiles, allowing for identification new genes important for a particular developmental process/pathway and deducing the potential function of a novel gene. The validity of the predictions from the database was demonstrated with two examples through spatiotemporal analyses of the two novel genes. Such a database should serve as a highly valuable resource for the molecular analysis of human development and pathogenesis. Human embryos were obtained from therapeutic termination of pregnancy induced by Mifepristone. Morphologically normal embryos were selected and staged according to the Carnegie classification and the Chinese embryonic developmental characteristics. Each whole embryo was micro-dissected from an intact trophoblast and stored directly in liquid nitrogen or homogenized using Trizol solution and then stored at -80oC. Total RNA was isolated from each whole embryo individually and each of the 3 RNA samples for each developmental time point was independently analyzed on a Human U133 plus 2.0 Genome Oligonucleotide Array.

Project description:The significant morphological differences observed during embryo development in angiosperms and gymnosperms are expected to be the result of a differential control of gene expression. We used a loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) cDNA microarray to analyze global transcriptional changes along zygotic embryogenesis in maritime pine (Pinus pinaster). A time-course analysis of the data obtained from the five embryo developmental groups used in this study led to the identification of 4,645 genes whose expression varied along P. pinaster embryogenesis. These transcripts were clustered into six distinct expression profiles. The grouping of these profiles in early, mid-embryogenesis and embryo maturation, according to the developmental period where most of the sequences were up-regulated, evidenced that characteristic transcriptional changes are associated to each developmental period. The application of a cut-off value of 1.95-fold change led to the identification of 1,838 differentially expressed transcripts that were categorized by biological process. Metabolism, interaction with the environment, oxidation-reduction and transport were some of the most represented categories. During early embryogenesis genes putatively involved in phytohormone-mediated signaling were identified, whereas in middle stages the overrepresented genes could be associated with cotyledon formation and induction of somatic embryogenesis. Genes associated with the synthesis of storage products were up-regulated in the latest stages of pine embryo development. It was also during this developmental period that the largest number of sequences putatively encoding transcription factors was identified.

Pine immature zygotic embryos were pooled into five different developmental groups according to the collection date (Day0; Day5; Day11; Day15 and Day25). A common reference design was used. Total RNA was extracted from each sample. Three extractions were prepared per sample (biological replicates). A defined ammount from each RNA sample was pooled to use as reference. Messenger RNA was amplified for both test samples and reference. These were hybridized together in two separate experiments (technical replicates). In total, 30 slides were analyzed.

Kinetics of histone gene expression during early development of Xenopus laevis.
Koster JG, Destrée OH and Westerhoff HV. J Theor Biol.
1988 Nov 21;135(2):139-67. PMID: 3267765
Abstract:
Using literature data for transcriptional and translational rate constants, gene copy numbers, DNA concentrations, and stability constants, we have calculated the expected concentrations of histones and histone mRNA during embryogenesis of Xenopus laevis. The results led us to conclude that: (i) for X. laevis the gene copy number of the histone genes is too low to ensure the synthesis of sufficient histones during very early development, inheritance from the oocyte of either histone protein or histone mRNA (but not necessarily both) is necessary; (ii) from the known storage of histones in the oocyte and the rates of histone synthesis determined by Adamson and Woodland (1977), there would be sufficient histones to structure the newly synthesized DNA up to gastrulation but not thereafter (these empirical rates of histone synthesis may be underestimates); (iii) on the other hand, the amount of H3 mRNA recently observed during early embryogenesis (Koster, 1987, Koster et al., 1988) could direct a higher and sufficient synthesis of H3 protein, also after gastrulation. We present a quantitative model that accounts both for the observed H3 mRNA concentration as a function of time during embryogenesis and for the synthesis of sufficient histones to structure the DNA throughout early embryogenesis. The model suggests that X. laevis exhibits a major (i.e. some 14-fold) reduction in transcription of histone genes approximately 11 hours after fertilization. This reduction could be due to a decrease in the number of transcribed histone genes, a decreased rate constant of transcription with continued transcription of all the histone genes, and/or a reduction in the time during the cell cycle in which histone mRNA synthesis takes place. Alternatively, the histone mRNA stability might decrease approximately 16-fold 11 hours after fertilization.

Project description:Recent studies have found that known functions of circRNAs include sequestration of microRNAs or proteins, modulation of transcription and interference with splicing, and even translation to produce poly-peptides. The zebrafish model is also demonstrably similar to humans in many studies. In order to explore the changes in circRNAs during embryonic development, further to research the mechanism of action of circRNAs in development-related diseases. Zebrafish embryos at blastula period, gastrula period, segmentation period, throat stage and incubation period were collected. Illumina deep sequencing technology and CIRI algorithm were used to detecting circRNAs. Totally we identified 1028 circRNAs (junction reads ≥ 5 and p < 0.05). Considering that circRNAs function is related to host genes, then bioinformatics analysis revealed these differentially expressed host genes are involved in NOTCH signaling pathways, cardiovascular system development, retinal ganglion cell axon guidance and so on. Moreover, circRNAs can participate in biological regulation through miRNA sponges function. TargetScan and miRanda were used to predict 73 miRNAs binding to circRNAs such as miR-19b, miR-124 and so on, some miRNAs play important roles in embryogenesis. The peak expression of circRNAs is distributed at different time points, suggesting that it may be involved in embryogenesis at different stages. Our study provides a foundation for understanding the dynamic regulation of circRNA transcriptomes during embryogenesis and identifies novel key circRNAs that might control embryonic development in zebrafish model.

Project description:The epigenetic modifier lysine-specific histone demethylase 3a (kdm3a) is specific for demethylation of mono- and di-methylated 9th lysine of histone H3 (H3K9me1/2) and belongs to the Jumonji domain-containing group of demethylases. Kdm3a is known to play significant roles during various biological and pathophysiological processes such as spermatogenesis and metabolism, determination of sex, androgen receptor-mediated transcription, and embryonic carcinoma cell differentiation. In the current study, we evaluated the physiological functions of kdm3a during Xenopus laevis embryogenesis. Spatiotemporal expression pattern indicated maternal nature of kdm3a, exhibiting its expression from early embryonic stages until tadpole stage, however considerable high level of expression were observed during the neurula stage of Xenopus development. Depleting kdm3a using kdm3a antisense morpholino oligonucleotides induced anomalies, such as head deformities and small-sized eyes. Our whole-mount in situ hybridization results demonstrated that kdm3a knockdown is associated with defects in neural crest formation and migration. Further, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction revealed abnormal expression of neural markers in kdm3a morphants. RNA sequencing of kdm3a morphants indicated that kdm3a is implicated in mesoderm formation, cell adhesion, and metabolic processes of embryonic development. In conclusion, we suggest that kdm3a is critical for neural development during Xenopus embryogenesis and can be targeted for treatment of developmental disorders. The further detailed investigation is required to understand the molecular mechanism involved in neural development regulation by kdm3a.

Project description:The liver is a multifunctional organ, which undergoes rapid changes during the developmental period and relies on tightly-regulated gene expression. Little is known regarding the complex expression patterns of mRNAs during the early stages of human liver development in comparison to post-natal livers. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression during liver development following specification, at the stage of proliferation and differentiation when compared to post-natal livers, and identified distinct classes of up-regulated and downregulated genes during this process.

Project description:Background. Ovary culture has been a useful way to generate double haploid (DH) plant in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). However, the rate of embryo induction and the ability for induced embryo to grow into normal embryo are quite low. Moreover, the s mechanism of cucumber embryogenesis remains ambiguous. In this study, the molecular basis for cucumber embryogenesis was explored to set up basis for a more efficient ovary culture method. Differentially expressed genes during embryogenesis process, including the early stages of embryo formation, embryo maturation and shoot formation, were investigated using transcriptomic sequencing. Methods. Based on the cytological observation of cucumber ovary culture, the ovary culture can be divided into three stages:early embryo development, embryo maturation (from pre-embryos to cotyledon embryos) and the shoot formation stage. six key time points were selected for transcriptome sequencing and analysis. Results. We firstly conducted cytological observations which suggest that cell enlargement is the symbol for gametophytes to switch to sporophyte development pathway during early embryogenesis stage. In this stage, RNA-seq revealed 3468 up-regulated genes, including hormone signal transduction genes, hormone response genes and stress-induced genes. The reported embryogenesis-related genes BBM, HSP90 and AGL were also actively expressed during this stage. The total 480 genes that function in protein complex binding, microtubule binding, tetrapyrrole binding, tubulin binding and other microtubule activities were continuously up-regulated during the embryo maturation stage, indicating that the cytoskeleton structure was continuously being built and maintained by the action of microtubule-binding proteins and enzyme modification during embryo development. In shoot formation stage, 1383 genes were up-regulated, which were mainly enriched in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, plant hormone signal transduction, phenylalanine metabolism, and starch and sucrose metabolism. The shoot formation stage might be regulated by 6 transcription factors that contained a B3 domain, 9 genes in the AP2/ERF family and 2 genes encoded WUS homologous domain proteins. Conclusions. These findings offer a valuable framework for explaining the transcriptional regulatory mechanism underlying embryogenesis during cucumber ovary culture.
