Project description:The liver plays a central role in vertebrate glucose homeostasis, and is also one of the most sexually dimorphic organs in terms of gene expression. While the extent of hepatic sexual dimorphism has been well described in mammals, little is known regarding this phenomenon in non-mammalian species, particularly fish. In this study, we examined hepatic gene expression and physiological phenotypes (growth, proximate body composition, retention efficiencies) to determine whether male and female zebrafish respond differently to diets comprised of 0, 15, 25, or 35 % carbohydrate. Using both Affymetrix microarrays and qRTPCR, we observed substantial sexual dimorphism in the hepatic transcriptome, and the response of some genes to dietary carbohydrate manipulation also varied by sex. Males upregulated genes associated with oxidative metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, energy production, and amelioration of oxidative stress, while females had higher expression levels of genes associated with translation. Males also expressed elevated levels of hnf4α, a gene thought to be involved in regulating hepatic sexual dimorphism in the rodent. Dietary carbohydrate affected hepatic gene expression, growth performance, retention efficiencies of protein and energy, and percentage of moisture, lipid, and ash. Significant diet effects reflected differences between the 0% carbohydrate diet and the other diets, consistent with previous work on other cyprinids showing a high tolerance for dietary carbohydrate. Our data support the use of the zebrafish as a model for the study of both normal and disease states associated with carbohydrate metabolism, and highlight the importance of accounting for both sex and diet; The liver plays a central role in vertebrate glucose homeostasis, and is also one of the most sexually dimorphic organs in terms of gene expression.

Project description:We sequenced the transcriptome of gentamicin induced renal regeneration in adult zebrafish. Specifically, zebrafish kidney tissues in the first, third, fifth and seventh days of kidney injury and the control group were selected. Each sample contains three kidneys. Three samples were taken in each period, and then the total RNA of the kidney was extracted for second-generation sequencing.

Project description:To illustrate the functions of the various cell types in the zebrafish kidney, we sequenced the kidney cells by single-cell messenger RNA sequencing. Six randomly selected zebrafish kidneys were used and obtained about 7,147 cells for RNA sequencing using a modified version of the cell expression by linear amplification and sequencing (CEL-seq) method and incorporating unique molecular identifiers to count the transcripts.

Project description:To facilitate the search for genetic modifiers that modulate ARPKD disease progression and severity, we sought to generate a congenic rat model that carries the PCK Pkhd1 mutation but is resistant to the development of ARPKD. We transferred the Pkhd1 mutation from the PCK rat onto the genetic background of the FHH (Fawn-Hooded Hypertensive) rat. This newly developed strain, called FHH.Pkhd1, showed significant amelioration of renal disease, and delayed onset of biliary abnormalities. To initiate the exploration for genes and pathways that modulate susceptibility to renal cystogenesis, we investigated transcriptional changes in kidneys from PCK, SD, FHH and FHH.Pkhd1 rats by microarray analysis. Both kidneys were harvested from 6 animals for each strain; SD, FHH, PCK, FHH.Pkhd1 (FHH.PCK-(D9Rat35-D9Rat70)/Mcwi, RGD ID 5147594) at 30 days of age. The kidneys were bisected and stored in RNAlater at 4C for 24hrs. RNA was extracted using the Trizol (Invitrogen) method according to manufacturer’s instructions. RNA from each strain was pooled together, reverse transcribed, and hybridized to three Affymetrix Rat 230 arrays (Affymetrix).

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of pooled adult kidneys from transgenic zebrafish expressing human KIT-D816V mutant gene versus wild-type zebrafish was performed. The aim of this experiment was to determine the expression and cellular changes caused by expression of KIT-D816V oncogene in the hematopoietic organ in zebrafish. This transgenic zebrafish represents a model of systemic mastocytosis with many features of this disease present in adults Two-condition experiment, Tg(actb2:KIT-D816V) versus wild-type(AB), one replicate of each prepared from 3 adult kidneys of each genotype and a dye-swap hybridization of these RNA samples.

Project description:Background: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) affects more than 12 million people worldwide. Mutations in PKD1 and PKD2 cause cyst formation through unknown mechanisms. To unravel the pathogenic mechanisms in ADPKD, multiple studies have investigated transcriptional mis-regulation in cystic kidneys from patients and mouse models, and numerous dysregulated genes and pathways have been described. Yet, the concordance between studies has been rather limited. Furthermore, the cellular and genetic diversity in cystic kidneys has hampered the identification of mis-expressed genes in kidney epithelial cells with homozygous PKD mutations, which are critical to identify polycystin-dependent pathways.
