Characterization of an Eye Field-like State during Optic Vesicle Organoid Development [ATAC-seq]

ABSTRACT: Specification of the eye field (EF) within the neural plate marks the earliest detectable stage of eye development. Experimental evidence, primarily from non-mammalian model systems, indicates that the stable formation of this group of cells requires the activation of a set of key transcription factors (TFs). This critical event is challenging to probe in mammals and, quantitatively, little is known regarding the regulation of the transition of cells to this ocular fate. Using optic vesicle organoids to model the onset of the EF, we generate timecourse transcriptomic data allowing us to identify dynamic gene-expression programs that characterise this cellular-state transition. Integrating this with chromatin accessibility data suggests a direct role of canonical EFTFs in regulating these gene-expression changes, and highlights candidate cis-regulatory elements through which these TFs act. Finally, we begin to test a subset of these candidate enhancer elements, within the organoid system, by perturbing the underlying DNA sequence and measuring transcriptomic changes during EF activation.

Expression data of Xrx1 gain and loss of function experiments from early Xenopus laevis embryos (stage 13)

Project description:Eye development is a multistep process that requires specific inductive signals and precise morphogenetic movements, starting early during development in the eye-field, a well-definite region of the anterior neural plate. It has been demonstrated that a gene network of eye field transcription factors (EFTFs) contributes to specify the neural and retinal fate of the eye field. Among these EFTFs, Xrx1 is involved in proliferation and neurogenesis in the eye field and is necessary for the correct development of the retina. By means of Affymetrix microarrays, a high throughput screening was performed, looking for genes that can mediate the function of Xrx1, by comparison of the expression profiles of whole embryos in which the Xrx1 function was either overexpressed or abolished by use of morpholino antisense oligonucleotides. Xenopus laevis embryos were harvested soon after fertilization. 50ng of capped Xrx1 mRNA or 0.5pmol of MoXrx1 antisense oligonucleotides were coinjected with 400ng of GFP synthetic mRNA as a tracer, in both dorsal blastomeres of 4-cells stage embryos. Embryos were let to develop until stage 13, in which the eye field induction steps are active, and selected for correct injection site by fluorescence topographic assessment. RNA was extracted from each single embryo and control PCRs were performed to assess the correct molecular signature of Xrx1 loss- and gain- of function.

Expression data from mouse optic nerve head after optic nerve crush

Project description:Reactive gliosis is a complex process that involves profound changes in gene expression. We used microarray to indentify differentially expressed genes and to investigate the molecular mechanisms of reactive gliosis in optic nerve head in response to optic nerve crush injury. C57Bl/6 female mice were 6-8 weeks old at the time of optic nerve crush surgery. The optic nerve in the left eye was crush 1 mm behind the globe for 10 seconds and the right eye served as contralateral control. The animals were allowed to recover for 1 day, 3 day, 1 week, 3 weeks and 3 months before the optic nerve heads were collected. The naive control mice did not receive any surgery in either eye. Due to the small tissue size of the mouse optic nerve head, two optic nerve heads were pooled together for each microarray chip. The left eyes and the right eyes of two mice were combined respectively to form one pair of experiment and control samples. There were five biological replicates (10 mice) for each condition.

Identification of genes expressed preferentially in the developing peripheral margin of the optic cup

Project description:Identification of genes expressed in a preferential manner in the developing ciliary body/iris will provide a starting point for future functional analyses. To identify candidate genes expressed in a variety of ocular tissues during development, we have profiled single cells from the developing eye. Post hoc identification of the origin of these cells showed that they included cells from the periphery of the developing optic cup. By comparing the expression profiles of these cells to many retinal cell types, candidate genes for preferential expression in the periphery were identified.

A SIX6 reporter for studies of early optic development

Project description: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.

Multi-species single-cell transcriptomic analysis of ocular compartment regulons

Project description:We constructed the first single cell atlas of the human, porcine and zebrafish ocular compartments and compared inter-species transcriptomic expression data in retinal cell populations. In the non-retinal cell populations, we identified putative adult stem cells present in the iris tissue. We created a disease map of genes involved in eye disorders across cells of posterior and anterior compartments of eye. We also probed the regulons of different cell populations, which included transcription factors (TFs) and receptor-ligand interactions and reveal unique directional signalling and cross-talks between ocular cell-types. Such regulons were checked for conservation across vertebrates including human, mouse, pig, zebrafish, and non-human primates to identify common core factors. Finally, we focused on one such transcription factor KLF7, which was conserved across species. After perturbing KLF7 gene expression during retinal ganglion cells (RGC) differentiation from human embryonic stem cells, we conclude that KLF7 plays a major role in maturation of RGC cells during differentiation.

Differential gene expression in Danio rerio during optic nerve regeneration

Project description:To gain a better understanding of the factors necessary for successful CNS regeneration, a temporal analysis of the changes in gene expression in the eye caused by optic nerve injury was conducted. Dual color oligonucleotide microarrays were used to compare total RNA harvested from the eyes of sham-operated and optic nerve-injured fish at 3, 24, and 168 hours following surgery. Optic nerve injured fish are compared to sham-operated fish in order to eliminate gene expression due to non-neuronal damage and inflammatory response. Statistical analyses identified 131 genes with a 2.0-fold or greater difference in expression. Wild type zebrafish were obtained from a local pet store. Optic nerve injury was conducted using a severing model accomplished as follows. Zebrafish were anesthetized in 0.2% MS-222 dissolved in tank water. The muscles surrounding the eye were cut and the eye angled rostrally to expose the nerve. The optic nerve was then severed using microsissors without damaging the ophthalmic artery. In sham operated fish the muscles surrounding the eye were severed but the nerve was not damaged. RNA was extracted from the eye at three time points following surgery 3 hours, 24 hours, and 168 hours. RNA was pooled from multiple fish to achieve 10 ug total RNA. Samples were collected in triplicate per time point. Gene expression was analyzed on a dual color oligonucleotide array where the optic nerve injured fish were compared to sham-operated fish. Four samples of RNA were also collected from control fish and compared to each other on the microarray to confirm that processing did not create expression differences.

The Epigenetic Factor Landscape of Developing Neocortex is Regulated by Transcription Factors Pax6→Tbr2→Tbr1

Project description:Epigenetic factors (EFs) regulate multiple aspects of cerebral cortex development, including proliferation, neuronal differentiation, laminar fate, and regional identity. The same neurodevelopmental processes are also regulated by transcription factors (TFs), notably the Pax6→Tbr2→Tbr1 cascade expressed sequentially in radial glial progenitors, intermediate progenitors, and postmitotic projection neurons, respectively. Here, we studied the EF landscape and its regulation in embryonic mouse neocortex. Microarray and in situ hybridization assays revealed that many EF genes are expressed in specific cortical cell types, such as intermediate progenitors, or in rostrocaudal gradients. Furthermore, many EF genes are directly bound and transcriptionally regulated by Pax6, Tbr2, or Tbr1, as determined by chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing and gene expression analysis of TF mutant cortices. The results demonstrated that Pax6, Tbr2, and Tbr1 form a direct feedforward genetic cascade, with direct feedback repression. Results also revealed that each TF regulates multiple EF genes that control DNA methylation, histone marks, chromatin remodeling, and noncoding RNA.
