Digital gene expression tag profiling of digit morphologies in bats

ABSTRACT: As the only truly flying mammals, bats use their unique wing formed from elongated digits connected by membranes to power their flight. The forelimb of bats consists of four elongated digits (digits II-V) and one shorter digit (digit I) that is morphologically similar to the hindlimb digits. Elongation of bat forelimb digits is thought to results from changes in the temporal and spatial expression of a number of developmental genes. As a result, comparing gene expression profiles between short and elongated digit morphologies of the fore- and hindlimbs may elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying digit elongation in bats. Here, we performed a large-scale analysis of gene expression of forelimb digit I, forelimb digits II-V, and all five hindlimb digits in Myotis ricketti using digital gene expression tag profiling approach. Results of this study not only implicate several developmental genes as robust candidates underlying digit elongation in bats, but also provide a better understanding of the genes involved in autopodial development in general.

mRNA-seq data from embryonic autopods of the common bent-wing bat (Miniopterus schreibersii)

Project description:The only freely flying mammals, bats, develop a pair of dramatically elongated hands and broad wing membranes. It is hypothesized that alterations of many gene expressions result in the bat wing formation. However, it remains to be proved. Here, by mRNA-seq, we found that hundreds of genes are significantly high expressed in the elongating forelimb digits. mRNA-seq data of 14 autopod samples from embryonic bats (Miniopterus schreibersii) were obtained by Illumina HiSeq 2000.

Transcriptome comparison of bat (Miniopterus natalensis) forelimb and hindlimb autopods at developmental stages CS16 and CS17 and E13.5 mouse forelimb autopods

Project description:The bat offers an alternative paradigm to the standard mouse and chick model of limb development as it has extremely divergent forelimbs (long digits supporting a wing) and hindlimbs (short digits and claws) due the distinct requirements of both aerial and terrestrial locomotion. We used a cross-species microarray approach to identify differentially expressed (DE) genes between the bat (Minniopterus natalensis) forelimb and hindlimb autopods at Carollia developmental stages (CS) 16 and CS17, and between the bat (CS17) and mouse (E13.5) forelimb autopods. Several DE genes were identified, including two homeobox genes, Meis2, a proximal limb-patterning gene, and Hoxd11, a gene involved in digit elongation. Both genes are significantly over-expressed in the developing bat forelimb as compared to the hindlimb and equivalently staged mouse forelimbs. A reference design was used in this microarray experiment. A pool of left and right mouse forelimb autopods from 24 embryos was used as the reference sample. This sample was directly compared to individual CS16 and CS17 bat fore- and hindlimbs (left and right of one individual pooled) that were classified as the test conditions. Four experimental sessions were performed using an independently amplified mouse reference pool and 4 biological repeats for the bat limbs. These samples were co-hybridised to OPERON Mouse OpArray (ver. 4.0) spotted oligonucleotide slides to perform a competitive Cross-Species Hybridisation experiment. The bat aRNA (test) samples were labelled with Cy3 dye (green signal), the mouse aRNA (reference) sample was labelled with Cy5 dye (red signal).

Maintenance of Neural Activities in Torpid Rhinolophus ferrumequinum Bats Revealed by 2D Gel-based Proteome Analysis

Project description:Bats are the only mammals capable of self-powered flying. Many bat species hibernate in winter. A reversible control of cerebral activities is critical for bats to accommodate a repeated torpor-arousal cycle during hibernation. Little is known about the molecular mechanism that regulates neuronal activities in torpid bats. In this study, brain proteins were fractionated and compared between torpid and active Rhinolophus ferrumequinum bats.

Evidence against tetrapod-wide digit identities and for a limited frame shift in bird wings

Project description:In crown group tetrapods, individual digits are homologized in relation to a pentadactyl ground plan. However, testing hypotheses of digit homology is challenging because it is unclear whether digits develop with distinct and conserved gene regulatory states. Here we show dramatic evolutionary dynamism in the gene expression profiles of digits, challenging the notion that five digit identities are conserved across amniotes. Transcriptomics of developing limbs shows diversity in the patterns of genetic differentiation of digits, although the anterior-most digit has a unique, conserved expression profile. Further, we identify a core set of transcription factors that are differentially expressed among the digits of amniote limbs; their spatial expression domains, however, vary between species. In light of these results, we reevaluate the frame shift hypothesis of avian wing evolution and conclude that only the anterior-most digit has shifted position, suggesting a 1,3,4 digit identity in the bird wing.

Acute experimental infection of bats and ferrets with Hendra virus: insights into the early host response of the reservoir host and susceptible model species

Project description:Bats are the natural reservoir host for a number of zoonotic viruses, including Hendra virus (HeV) which causes severe clinical disease in humans and other susceptible hosts. Our understanding of the ability of bats to avoid clinical disease following infection with viruses such as HeV has come predominantly from in vitro studies focusing on innate immunity. Information on the early host response to infection in vivo is lacking and there is no comparative data on responses in bats compared with animals that succumb to disease. In this study, we examined the sites of HeV replication and the immune response of infected Australian black flying foxes and ferrets at 12, 36 and 60 hours post exposure (hpe). Viral antigen was detected at 60 hpe in bats and was confined to the lungs whereas in ferrets there was evidence of widespread viral RNA and antigen by 60 hpe. The mRNA expression of IFNs revealed antagonism of type I and III IFNs and a significant increase in the chemokine, CXCL10, in bat lung and spleen following infection. In ferrets, there was an increase in the transcription of IFN in the spleen following infection. Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) on lung tissue from bats and ferrets was performed at 0 and 60 hpe to obtain a global overview of viral and host protein expression. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis of immune pathways revealed that six pathways, including a number involved in cell mediated immunity were more likely to be upregulated in bat lung compared to ferrets. GO analysis also revealed enrichment of the type I IFN signaling pathway in bats and ferrets. This study contributes important comparative data on differences in the dissemination of HeV and the first to provide comparative data on the activation of immune pathways in bats and ferrets in vivo following infection.

Mouse Digits Regeneration RNA-seq Data

Project description:Mice were subjected to hindlimb distal phalanx (P3) amputation to digit 3. For each amputation, mice were anesthetized, the hindlimb claw was extended, and the distal phalanx and footpad was sharply dissected. A regenerating distal phalanx was generated by amputating ≤33% of the P3. Skin wounds were allowed to heal without suturing. Mice were subjected to micro-computed tomography (microCT) one day prior to surgery and immediately after amputation to confirm ≤ 33% removal of the P3. Any digit that did not fall within the ≤ 33% amputation guideline was omitted from the study. Based on our criteria, 17 animals were removed from the study resulting in a final total of 30 mice. P3 mice were collected at hours (0h, 3h, 6h ,12h, and 24h), and days (3d, 7d, 14d, and 21d). Each time point contained 3 mice, except day 7 (6 mice). At the time of P3 collection, samples were immediately immersed in RNAlater for 24h at 4C. The digits were then removed from RNAlater and stored at -80C until performing RNA sequencing.
