Calcineurin Controls Proximodistal Blastema Polarity in Zebrafish Fin Regeneration

ABSTRACT: Planarian flatworms regenerate their heads and tails from anterior or posterior wounds and this blastema regeneration polarity is controlled by Wnt/β-catenin signaling. It is well known that a regeneration blastema of appendages of vertebrates such as fish and amphibians grows distally. However, it remains unclear whether a regeneration blastema in vertebrate appendages can grow proximally. Here, we show that a regeneration blastema in zebrafish fins can grow proximally along the proximodistal axis by calcineurin inhibition. We used fin excavation in adult zebrafish to observe the unidirectional regeneration, from the anterior cut edge (ACE) to the posterior cut edge (PCE) of the cavity and this unidirectional regeneration polarity occurs as the PCE fails to build blastemas. Furthermore, we found that calcineurin activities in the ACE were greater than in the PCE. Calcineurin inhibition induced the PCE blastemas, and calcineurin hyperactivation suppressed fin regeneration. Collectively, these findings identify calcineurin as a molecular switch to specify the PCE blastema of the proximodistal axis and regeneration polarity in zebrafish fin.

Retinoic acid breakdown is required for proximodistal positional identity during axolotl limb regeneration

Project description:Regenerating limbs retain their proximodistal (PD) positional identity following amputation. This positional identity is encoded genetically by PD patterning genes, which instruct blastema cells to regenerate the appropriate PD limb segment. Retinoic acid (RA) is known to specify proximal limb identity, but how RA concentration is established in the blastema is unknown. Here, we show that RA breakdown via CYP26B1 is essential for determining the RA concentration within blastemas. CYP26B1 inhibition molecularly reprograms distal blastemas into a proximal identity, phenocopying the effects of administering excess RA. We identify Shox as an RA responsive gene that is differentially expressed between proximally and distally amputated blastemas. Ablation of Shox results in shortened limbs with proximal skeletal elements that fail to undergo endochondral ossification. These results suggest that PD positional identity is determined by RA degradation and that targets of RA have a critical role in skeletal element formation during limb regeneration.

Expression data from regenerating axolotl forelimbs

Project description:Salamanders are capable of regenerating amputated limbs by generating a mass of lineage-restricted cells called a blastema. Blastemas only generate structures distal to their origin unless treated with retinoic acid (RA), which results in proximodistal (PD) limb duplications. Little is known about the transcriptional network that regulates PD duplication. In this study, we identified expression patterns that explain PD duplication including upregulation of proximal homeobox gene expression and silencing of distal-associated genes whereas limb truncation was associated with disrupted skeletal differentiation. Overall, mechanisms were identified that regulate RAR’s multifaceted roles in the salamander limb including regulation of skeletal patterning during epimorphic regeneration, skeletal tissue differentiation during regeneration, and homeostatic regeneration of intact limbs.

Single cell RNA sequencing of adult regenerating mouse digit tips

Project description:Innate regeneration following digit tip amputation is one of the few examples of epimorphic regeneration in mammals. Digit tip regeneration is mediated by the blastema, the same structure invoked during limb regeneration in some lower vertebrates. By genetic lineage analyses in mice, the digit tip blastema has been defined as a population of heterogeneous, lineage restructed progenitor cells. These previous studies, however, do not comprehensively evaluate blastema heterogeneity or address lineage restruction of closely related cell types. Here we report single cell RNA sequencing of over 38,000 cells from mouse digit tip blastemas and unamputated control digit tips and generate an atlas of the cell types participating in digit tip regeneration.

Failure of digit tip regeneration in the absence of Lmx1b suggests Lmx1b functions disparate from dorsoventral polarity

Project description:Mammalian digit tip regeneration is linked to the presence of nail tissue, but a nail-explicit model is missing. Here, we report that nail-less double-ventral digits of ΔLARM1/2 mutants that lack limb-specific Lmx1b enhancers, fail to regenerate. To separate the nail’s effect from the lack of DV polarity, we also interrogate double-dorsal double-nail digits and show that they regenerate. Thus, DV polarity is not a prerequisite for regeneration and the nail requirement is supported. Transcriptomic comparison between wild-type and non-regenerative ΔLARM1/2 mutant blastemas reveals differential up-regulation of vascularization and connective tissue functional signatures in wild-type versus upregulation of inflammation in the mutant. These results, together with the finding of Lmx1b expression in the postnatal dorsal dermis underneath the nail and uniformly in the regenerative blastema opens the possibility of additional Lmx1b roles in the progression of digit tip regeneration, in addition to the indirect effect of mediating the formation of the nail.

By genetic lineage analyses in mice, the digit tip blastema has been defined as a population of heterogeneous, lineage restructed progenitor cells. These previous studies, however, do not comprehensively evaluate blastema heterogeneity or address lineage restruction of closely related cell types. Here we report one additional single cell RNA sequencing sample (28 days post-amputation) to add to our already published 38,000 cells from mouse digit tip blastemas and unamputated control digit tips used to generate an atlas of the cell types participating in digit tip regeneration.

Compartmentalization and synergy of osteoblasts drive bone formation in the regenerating fin

Project description:This study investigated the cell composition and lineage relationships of FACS (fluorescence activated cell sorting)-enriched epidermal, bone forming (osteoblast) and (non-osteoblast) blastemal fin regenerate cells by single cell (sc) RNA sequencing. The repetitive cell harvesting in four-week intervals revealed a constant gene regulation over four successive regeneration rounds in the early outgrowth stage. In addition, the sc RNA dataset uncovered a potential lineage relationship between distal blastema cells and osteoblasts during fin regeneration. These findings, together with the identification of novel fin regenerate markers, advance our understanding of complex tissue regeneration in zebrafish.

bmp4 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.
