A SIX6 reporter for studies of early optic development

ABSTRACT: Human pluripotent stem cells represent an exciting tool to investigate the mechanisms of human eye development and to build human models of retinal dystrophy. To explore the dynamics of early eye development in a carefully controlled setting and optimize this process, we have developed an eyefield expressed SIX6-GFP reporter that enables the systematic optimization of early eye-field development allowing the identification of conditions that favor early optic development.

SIX6 regulation in human optic vesicles is mediated by early microenvironmenta factors

Project description:Human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) represent an exciting tool to investigate the mechanisms of human eye development and to build models of human retinal disease. When grown in 3D, these cells can self-organize into laminar organized retinas; however, significant variation in the size, shape and composition of individual organoids exists, and this variation can create challenges. Neither the microenvironment nor the timing of critical growth factors driving eye formation or retinogenesis are fully understood. To explore the dynamics of early retinal organoid development, we have developed a SIX6-GFP reporter line that enables the systematic optimization of early eye field development, allowing for the identification of conditions that favor optic development. We found that SIX6 expression in 3D optic structures is influenced by small molecules regulating SHH and WNT signaling in a dose and time dependent fashion. In addition, we demonstrated that hypoxic growth conditions favor SIX6 expression, and promote eye formation. The systematic optimization of these pathways leads to optic vesicles with robust SIX6 expression and global gene expression profiles consistent with a retinal identity. The use of stem cell derived human retinal organoids with a real time marker for retinogenesis, therefore, represents an important model for probing the mechanisms of early human eye development.

Six3 and Six6 jointly regulate the identities and developmental trajectories of multipotent retinal progenitor cells in the embryonic mouse retina

Project description:Regulation of retinal differentiation in mammals is not adequately understood. Using single-cell RNA sequencing of control and Six3 and Six6 compound-mutant mouse embryonic eye-cups, we identified cell clusters and developmental trajectories jointly regulated by transcription factor Six3 and its close paralog Six6. In control retinas, naïve retinal progenitor cells had two major trajectories leading to ciliary margin cells and retinal neurons, respectively. The ciliary margin trajectory was directly from naïve retinal progenitor cells at G1 phase whereas the neuronal trajectory was through a neurogenic state marked by Atoh7 expression. Upon Six3 and Six6 dual deficiencies, both naïve and neurogenic retinal progenitors were defective, ciliary margin differentiation was enhanced, and multi-lineage neuronal differentiation was disrupted. An ectopic neuronal trajectory lacking the Atoh7+ state led to ectopic neurons. Additionally, opposing gradients of Wnt and Fgf signaling were perturbed. Our findings provide deeper insight into molecular mechanisms underlying early retinal differentiation in mammals.

SIX6 knockdown in Jurkat-Cas9 T-ALL cell line

Project description:T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a hematological malignancy strongly affected by the abnormal activity of transcription factors. Here we report a high expression of developmental transcription factor SIX6 in TAL1 subtype of T-ALL. Our data indicates that this high expression is directly regulated by binding of TAL1 and GATA3 transcription factors into an upstream enhancer element. We also looked into the potential targets of SIX6 in T-ALL and Crispr-cas9 mediated knockout of SIX6 in Jurkat cells caused significant changes in the expression of multiple genes, including genes related to mTOR signaling. In two independent patient cohorts, the high SIX6 expression shows a trend of less favourable prognosis. However, the knockout of SIX6 was not enough to have an effect on proliferation, cell cycle or viability of the Jurkat cells and overexpression of SIX6 in the T-ALL zebrafish model didn’t influence the progression of the disease. Our results show that high expression of SIX6 has a trend towards a less favourable outcome, but SIX6 doesn’t have an independent oncogenic role in T-ALL.

Six3 and Six6 are jointly required for the maintenance of multipotent retinal progenitors through both positive and negative regulation

Project description:Purpose: the goal of this experiment was to identify differentially expressed genes in Six3 null, Six6 null and Six3;Six6 compound null retinas by RNAsequencing. Method: Retinas were dissected out from the following E13.5 mouse embryos: 1) WT (Six3F/F; Six6+/+); 2) Six3 KO (Six3F/F; CAGGCre-ERTM; Six6+/+); 3) Six6 KO (Six3F/F; Six6–/–); 4) DKO (Six3F/F; CAGGCre-ERTM; Six6–/–). RNA was then extracted from the retinas and profiled using RNAsequencing. Results: RNA isolated from three pairs of retinas for each genotype group (181.2-792 ng, RIN>9) was used for library preparation using KAPA RNA HyperPrep Kit with RiboErase. Sequencing was run on Illumina HiSeq 2500 in 100-bp single-end high-output mode in the Einstein Epigenomics Core Facility. About 30 million reads were generated for each sample. Each genotype group initially had three biological replicates, but one Six6 KO replicate was later removed due to over duplication. After trimming adapters with Trim Galore (v. 0.3.7), RNA-Seq reads were aligned back to mouse genome mm10 using Tophat (v. 2.0.13). The number of reads mapped back to each gene was calculated with HTseq (v.0.6.1) using Refseq gene annotation (downloaded from the UCSC genome browser in 03/17). The Cuffdiff in Cufflinks package (v. 2.2.1) was used to generate FPKM values. We identified 13498 transcripts with FPKM value >1 in at least one of samples. Deseq2 was used to determine the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with FDR less than 0.05 as a cutoff.

Zfp503/Nlz2 is Required for RPE Differentiation and Optic Fissure Closure

Project description:Uveal coloboma is a congenital eye malformation caused by failure of the optic fissure to close in early human development. Despite significant progress in identifying genes whose regulation is important for executing this closure, mutations are detected in a minority of cases using known gene panels, implying additional genetic complexity. We show that the mouse Zfp503/Nlz2 gene is dynamically regulated in developing mouse eyes and that loss of its expression results in uveal coloboma. KO embryos exhibit altered expression patterns of several key transcription factors involved in eye development, including Otx2, Mitf, Pax6, Pax2, Vax1 and Vax2, resulting in reduced melanin pigmentation in the presumptive retinal pigment epithelium and its differentiation into a neural-retina-like lineage. From a large cohort of patients with exome sequencing records, only one patient with clinical diagnosis of retinal degeneration was identified carrying a pPresumed loss-of-function variants in the human ortholog, ZNF503. Although no disease-causing association was demonstrated, because of the retinal degeneration rather than of uveal coloboma phenotype, are rare and may be associated with retinal degeneration, rather than a uveal coloboma phenotype, suggesting it is tempting to speculate that a pleiotropic role of ZNF503 might have a pleiotropic role in ocular development and physiology

Wnt ligands from the embryonic surface ectoderm regulate bimetallic strip optic cup morphogenesis in the mouse

Project description:Wnt signaling in early eye development, specifically the lens placode shows expression of 12 out of 19 Wnt ligands. We these Wnt activities were suppressed using conditional deletion of Wntless, dramatic phenotypic changes in morphogensis occurred. Microarray analysis of the genes that were changed in response to deletion of Wnt ligands in the developing eye region show direct or indirect responses from the surface ectoderm to the developing RPE and optic cup curvature, creating an overal shape change phenotype in the bilayerd epithelium of the optic cup. Mouse embryos at embryonic stage e10.5 were disected into pbs and eye regions were disected and removed for RNA extraction and hybridization to Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to identify the genes that were changed in response to deletion of Wls from the developing surface ectoderm of the eye region. Genes changed could be the direct or indirect result from deleltion of Wls from the surface ectoderm using the LeCre recombinase gene as a tool for analysis.
