Single-cell profiling of photoreceptor cells in adult zebrafish

ABSTRACT: Vertebrate vision is mediated by two kinds of photoreceptors, rods and cones, responsible for dim- and bright-light vision, respectively. Gene expression differences among cone subtypes remain poorly understood compared with rods. We generated single-cell transcriptome data using a droplet-based approach to reveal the extent of gene expression diversity among adult zebrafish photoreceptor subtypes. Populations of photoreceptor cells were enriched by using the transgenic zebrafish lines, Tg(rho:EGFP)ja2Tg and Tg(gnat2:EGFP)ja23Tg, which express GFP in rods and all cone subtypes, respectively. By analyzing the single-cell transcriptomes, we found that in addition to the four canonical zebrafish cone types (ultraviolet, blue, green and red), there exist subpopulations of green and red cones in the ventral retina that express red-shifted opsin paralogs (opn1mw4 and opn1lw1). This work lays a foundation for future studies aimed at understanding how molecular differences among cone subtypes affect photoreceptor function.

Samd7 preserves cell identity and enforces the ‘one neuron-one receptor’ rule in vertebrate photoreceptors

Project description:The exclusive expression of single sensory receptors in individual neurons (the ‘one-neuron-one receptor’ rule) is essential for vision and other sensory systems. Here, we show that the transcriptional corepressor Samd7 enforces this rule in vertebrate red cones and acts in other photoreceptor types to maintain cell identity. In the zebrafish samd7-/- retina, red cones are transformed to hybrid red/UV-sensitive cones, green cones are transfated to blue cones, and the number of rods is greatly reduced. In the mouse Samd7-/- retina, dorsal M-cones are transformed to hybrid M/S-cones—analogous to the transformation of red to red/UV cones that occurs in zebrafish—and rods aberrantly express cone genes including S-opsin. Altogether, Samd7 acts to repress short-wavelength cone gene expression in long-wavelength-sensitive cones, thereby sustaining the mutually exclusive patterns of opsin expression and cone identity required for color vision.

Transcriptional profiles of cone cells, rod cells, and pineal photoreceptor cells in zebrafish

Project description:For isolation of rod, cone, and pineal photoreceptor cells, we used the transgenic zebrafish lines, Tg(rho:egfp)ja2Tg, Tg(gnat2:egfp)ja23Tg, and Tg(exorh:EGFP)ja1Tg, which express EGFP in rods, all cone subtypes, and pineal rod cells, respectively. Retinas were dissected from dark-adapted adult fish under dim red light. The isolated retinas were digested with trypsin in Ca2+-free Ringer’s solution. The reaction was terminated by adding soybean trypsin inhibitor and fetal bovine serum. The dissociated EGFP-positive cells were isolated with a fluorescence activating cell sorter (FACSAria, BD Biosciences) by the following three parameters: forward scatter, side scatter and green fluorescence. Goal was to determine differentially expressed genes among three types of photoreceptor cells.

Recruitment of Rod Photoreceptors from Short Wavelength Sensitive Cones during the Evolution of Nocturnal Vision in Mammals

Project description:Vertebrate ancestors had only cone-like photoreceptors. The duplex retina evolved in jawless vertebrates with the advent of highly photosensitive rod-like photoreceptors. Despite cones being the arbiters of high-resolution color vision, rods emerged as the dominant photoreceptor in mammals during a nocturnal phase early in their evolution. We investigated the evolutionary and developmental origins of rods in two divergent vertebrate retinae. In mice, we discovered genetic and epigenetic vestiges of short wavelength cones in developing rods and cell lineage tracing validated the genesis of rods from S-cones. Curiously, rods did not derive from S-cones in zebrafish. Our study illuminates several questions regarding the evolution of duplex retina and supports the hypothesis that, in mammals, the S-cone lineage was recruited via the Maf-family transcription factor NRL to augment rod photoreceptors. We propose that this developmental mechanism allowed the adaptive exploitation of scotopic niches during the nocturnal bottleneck early in mammalian evolution.

Epigenomic Landscapes of Retinal Rods and Cones

Project description:Both rod and cone photoreceptors are critical for mammalian vision yet they have important functional differences. In this study, we investigate patterns of DNA methylation and chromatin accessibility in mouse rods and cones. Unexpectedly, we find that a substantial fraction of hypo-methylated regions in the rod methylome are in inaccessible chromatin. These regions show marks of active regulatory regions earlier in neuronal development and could remain undermethylated in adult rods due to their highly compact chromatin. We further identify rod- and cone-enriched regions of accessible chromatin that correspond with cell type-specificity of nearby photoreceptor gene expression. We predict novel DNA signatures of rod and cone specificity and show that NR2E3 function is necessary for rods to gain their complete ensemble of epigenomic features. Taken together, our data capture the epigenomic landscapes of retinal rods and cones, including differences relevant to chromatin structure and photoreceptor biology.

HDAC inhibition ameliorates cone survival in retinitis pigmentosa mice

Project description:Cone photoreceptor cell death in inherited retinal diseases, such as Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), leads to the loss of accurate and color vision and ultimately blindness. In RP, a vast number of mutations are affecting the structure and function of rod photoreceptors while cones remain mutation-free. Once majority of rods have degenerated cones are dying secondarily due to the increased oxidative stress, inflammation and loss of structural and nutritional support normally provided by rods. Here we demonstrated that secondary cone cell death in animal models for RP is governed by an increased activity of histone deacetylates (HDACs). A single intravitreal injection of an HDAC inhibitor at a late stage of the disease, when majority of rods have already degenerated, is sufficient to delay cone death and support long-term cone survival. Surviving cones are retaining functionality and are mediating light-driven ganglion cell responses. RNA-seq analysis of surviving cones demonstrated that HDAC inhibition affords multi-level protection trough regulation of different prosurvival pathways including MAPK, PI3K-AKT and autophagy. These study suggest a unique possibility for targeted pharmacological protection of both primary degenerating rods and mutation-free secondary dying cones and creates hope to maintain vision in RP patients independent of the disease stage.
