Spatio-temporal mRNA tracking in the early zebrafish embryo

ABSTRACT: We performed spatially resolved transcriptomics with sub-single-cell resolution in zebrafish embryos at the one-cell stage, which allowed us to identify a class of mRNAs that is specifically localized at an extraembryonic position in the yolk sac, the vegetal pole. The 3’ UTRs of these localized genes are enriched in specific sequence motifs. Comparison to two frog species revealed relatively low conservation of localized genes, but high conservation of sequence motifs. In vivo RNA labeling followed by scRNA-seq revealed that a large number of the localized transcripts are specifically transported to the primordial germ cells.

Next generation sequencing identifies differentially localized transcripts in Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis oocytes

Project description:RNA-seq technology was used to identify differentially localized transcripts from Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis stage VI oocytes. Besides the discovery of a group of novel animally enriched RNAs, this study revealed a surprisingly low conservation of vegetal RNA localization between the two frog species. mRNA profiles of Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis animal and vegetal oocyte halves were generated by RNA-seq technology. For Xenopus laevis, animal and vegetal oocyte RNA preparations from two different females were generated in duplicates. For Xenopus tropicalis, animal and vegetal oocyte RNA preparations from two different females were analyzed.

High Throughput Analysis Reveals Novel Maternal Germline RNAs Critical for PGC Preservation and Proper Migration

Project description:During oogenesis hundreds of RNAs are selectively localized to either the animal or vegetal cortical region. These maternal RNAs include determinants of both somatic and germline fates. Although microarray analysis has contributed to identifying localized determinants, it is not comprehensive and is limited to known transcripts. Here, we utilized high throughput RNA-sequencing analysis to comprehensively interrogate both animal and vegetal pole RNAs in the fully-grown Xenopus laevis oocyte. We identified 411 enriched RNAs at the vegetal pole, 198 of them annotated transcripts, and 27 RNAs enriched at the animal pole, 15 annotated. Of these, 90 were novel RNAs over 4-fold enriched at the vegetal pole and 6 over 10-fold at the animal pole. Unlike mRNAs, we found that microRNAs were not asymmetrically distributed. Whole mount in situ hybridization revealed all 17 selected RNAs were localized, confirming our data set. Biological function and network analysis of vegetally enriched transcripts identified protein-modifying enzymes, receptors, ligands, RNA binding proteins and 10 transcription factors or co-factors with 5 defining hubs linking 47 genes in a network. Initial functional studies of maternal vegetally-localized RNAs show, for the first time, that sox7 plays an important role in primordial germ cell (PGC) development and efnb1(ephrinB1), known to play important roles in migration/adhesion in the nervous system, is required for proper PGC migration. Based on our findings, we propose potential pathways operating at the vegetal pole that highlight where future investigations might be most fruitful.

Comparative analysis of gene expression profiles between four kinds of blastomere at 8-cell stage embryos.

Project description:The establishment of body axes and specification of early embryonic cells depend on maternally supplied transcripts and/or proteins, several of which are localized at specific regions of fertilized eggs and early embryos. The ascidian is known to exhibit a mosaic mode of development, and this mode is largely dependent on localized maternal factors. Using blastomere isolation, microarray and whole-mount in situ hybridization, the present study of Ciona intestinalis demonstrates that maternal transcripts of a total of 17 genes are localized at the posterior-most region of fertilized eggs and early embryos. Ten of them are newly identified in the present study, while the remaining seven genes have already been characterized in the previous studies. In addition, maternal transcripts of two genes, in addition to 14 genes encoded by the mitochondrial genome, showed a mitochondria-like distribution. Despite the present comprehensive approach, we could not identify maternal transcripts that are clearly localized to the animal-pole side, the vegetal-pole side, the anterior-side or other specific regions of the early embryo. Therefore, we concluded that the posterior-most localization and mitochondria-like distribution appear to be major specialized patterns of maternal transcripts in the early Ciona embryos. Four kinds of sample. Two series comparison (A4.1+a4.2+b4.2 blastomeres vs B4.1 blastomeres and Animal blastomeres vs Vegetal blastomeres) were examined including dye swap analyses.

Maternal RNA localization during early development of the axolotl

Project description:The asymmetric localization of maternal biomolecules is critical for body plan development. One of the most popular model organisms for early embryogenesis studies is Xenopus laevis but there is a lack of information in other animal species. Here, we compare the early development of two amphibian species – the frog X. laevis and the axolotl Ambystoma mexicanum. This study aimed to identify asymmetrically localized RNAs along the animal-vegetal axis during the early development of A. mexicanum. For that purpose, we performed spatial transcriptome-wide analysis, which revealed dynamic changes along the animal-vegetal axis classified into the following categories: relocalization, de novo synthesis and degradation. Surprisingly, our results showed that many of the vegetally localized genes, which are important for germ cell development, are degraded during early development. Furthermore, we assessed the motif presence in UTRs of degraded mRNAs and revealed the enrichment of several motifs in RNAs of germ cell markers. Our results suggest novel reorganization of the transcriptome during embryogenesis of A. mexicanum to converge to the similar developmental pattern as the X. laevis.

Vegetally localised Vrtn functions as a novel repressor to modulate bmp2b transcription during dorsoventral patterning in zebrafish

Project description:The vegetal pole cytoplasm represents a crucial source of maternal dorsal determinants for patterning the dorsoventral axis of the early embryo. Removal of the vegetal yolk in the zebrafish fertilised egg before the completion of the first cleavage results in embryonic ventralisation, but removal of this part at the two-cell stage leads to embryonic dorsalisation. How this is achieved remains unknown. Here, we report a novel mode of maternal regulation of BMP signaling during dorsoventral patterning in zebrafish. We identify Vrtn as a novel vegetally localised maternal factor with dorsalising activity and rapid transport towards the animal pole region after fertilisation. Co-injection of vrtn mRNA with vegetal RNAs from different cleavage stages suggests the presence of putative vegetally localised Vrtn antagonists with slower animal pole transport. Thus, vegetal ablation at the two-cell stage could remove most of the Vrtn antagonists, and allows Vrtn to produce the dorsalising effect. Mechanistically, Vrtn binds a bmp2b regulatory sequence and acts as a repressor to inhibit its zygotic transcription. Analysis of maternal-zygotic vrtn mutants further shows that Vrtn is required to constrain excessive bmp2b expression in the margin. Our work unveils a novel maternal mechanism regulating zygotic BMP gradient in dorsoventral patterning.

Comparative Hi-C reveals that CTCF underlies evolution of chromosomal domain architecture.

Project description:Topological domains are key architectural building blocks of chromosomes in complex genomes. Their functional importance and evolutionary dynamics are however not well defined. Here we performed comparative Hi-C in liver cells from four mammalian species, and characterized the conservation and divergence of chromosomal contact insulation and the resulting domain architectures within distantly related genomes. We show that the modular organization of chromosomes is robustly conserved in syntenic regions. This overall conservation is compatible with conservation of the binding landscape of the insulator protein CTCF. Specifically, conserved CTCF sites are co-localized with cohesin, enriched at strong topological domain borders and bind to DNA motifs with orientations that define the directionality of CTCF’s long-range interactions. Interestingly, CTCF binding sites which are divergent between species are strongly correlated with divergence of internal domain structure. This divergence is likely driven by local CTCF binding sequence changes, demonstrating how genome evolution can be linked directly with a continuous flux of local chromosome conformation changes. Conversely, we provide evidence that large-scale domains are harder to break and that they are reorganized during genome evolution as intact modules. Hi-C and 4C-seq experiments were conducted in primary liver cells obtained from mouse, rabbit, macaque and dog
