Identification and characterization of amphibian SLC26A5 using RNA-Seq

ABSTRACT: We mapped and sequenced the SLC26A5 of the American bullfrog from its inner ear cDNA using RNA-Seq. The frog SLC26A5 cDNA was 2,292 bp long, encoding a polypeptide of 763 amino acid residues, with 40% identity to mammals. After isolating the prestin gene of the frog, we generated a stable cell line transfected with this new coding gene and found it possessing similar electrophysiological features as the hair cells from the frog’s auditory organ. Our experiment demonstrated that the new coding gene could encode a functionally active protein conferring NLC to both frog HCs and the mammalian cell line.

RNA-sequencing of Adult Zebrafish Inner Ear Hair Cells

Project description:To understand the basic biological properties of inner ear hair cells (HCs) from non-mammalian vertebrates, we examined the transcriptome of adult zebrafish auditory and vestibular HCs. GFP-labeled HCs were isolated from inner-ear sensory epithelia of a pou4f3 promoter-driven GAP-GFP line of transgenic zebrafish. One thousand HCs and 1,000 non-sensory surrounding cells (nsSCs) were separately collected for each biological replicate, using the suction pipette technique. RNA sequencing of three biological replicates for the two cell types was performed. The resulting sequenced reads were mapped. Comparisons between HCs and nsSCs allow identification of enriched genes in HCs, which may underlie HC specialization. Our dataset provides an extensive resource for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying morphology, function, and pathology of adult zebrafish HCs. It also establishes a framework for future characterization of the genes expressed in HCs and for the study of HC evolution.

Inner ear hair cell proteome

Project description:The mammalian inner ear subserves auditory and vestibular sensations via highly specialized cells and proteins. We show that sensory hair cells (HCs) employ hundreds of uniquely or highly expressed proteins for processes involved in transducing mechanical inputs, stimulating sensory neurons, and maintaining structure and function of these post-mitotic cells. Our proteomic analysis of purified HCs extends the existing HC transcriptome, revealing undetected gene products and isoform-specific protein expression. Comparison with mouse and human databases of genetic auditory/vestibular impairments confirms the critical role of the HC proteome for normal inner ear function, providing a cell-specific pool of candidates for novel, important HC genes. Several proteins identified exclusively in HCs by proteomics and by immunohistochemistry map to human genetic deafness loci, potentially representing new deafness genes.

Substrate-specific gene expression in the amphibian chytrid pathogen

Project description:Determining the mechanisms of host-pathogen interaction is critical for understanding and mitigating infectious disease. Mechanisms of fungal pathogenicity are of particular interest given the recent outbreaks of fungal diseases in wildlife populations. Our study focuses on Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), the chytrid pathogen responsible for amphibian declines around the world. Previous studies have hypothesized a role for several specific families of secreted proteases as pathogenicity factors in Bd, but the expression of these genes has only been evaluated in laboratory growth conditions. Here we conduct a genome-wide study of Bd gene expression under two different nutrient conditions. We compare Bd gene expression profiles in laboratory growth media and in host tissue (i.e., frog skin). A large proportion of genes in the Bd genome show increased expression when grown in host tissue, indicating the importance of studying pathogens in their infection environment. A number of gene classes show particularly high levels of expression in host tissue, including three families of secreted proteases (metallo-, serine- and aspartyl-proteases), adhesion genes, lipase-3 encoding genes, and a group of phylogenetically unusual crinkler-like effectors. We discuss the roles of these different genes as putative pathogenicity factors and discuss what they can teach us about Bd's metabolic targets, host invasion, and pathogenesis. One 12-plex chip was analyzed from 12 RNA samples extracted from Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis grown in 2 substrates. Six biological replicates were used for each substrate - sterile frog skin and tryptone nutrient broth. The same dye, Cy5, was used for all samples.

Utricle Laser Timecourse

Project description:Much of human hearing loss is caused by loss of auditory hair cell (HC) function. Mammals cannot regenerate these essential mechanoelectrical transducers of sound. However, birds have retained the ability to regenerate HCs from surrounding supporting cells. To better understand hair cell regeneration, we have expression profiled the sensory epithelia from chicken cochleae and utricles. Pure sensory epithelia, consisting of HCs plus supporting cells, were damaged with either neomycin or laser treatment. Changes in gene expression at various points during regeneration were compared to undamaged control cultures on a custom microarray that interrogates the vast majority of transcription factor (TF) genes. These experiments involved multiple biological samples and hundreds of microarray comparisons. Keywords: timecourse
