Differential gene expression and splicing in apc mutant zebrafish


ABSTRACT: APC is a classical tumor suppressor in humans, and truncating mutations are early somatic events in most cases of sporadic colon cancer. APC directly enhances the activity of glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) and therefore loss of full length APC reduces GSK-3 activity, leading to stabilization of b-catenin protein and activation of downstream Wnt/b-catenin signaling. GSK-3 also phosphorylates multiple core mRNA splicing factors and loss of Gsk3a/b in mouse ES cells and human lymphocytes alters mRNA splicing at a genome wide level. We therefore predict that loss of APC should similarly alter splicing by reducing GSK-3 activity. Here we use RNA-seq to assess differential gene expression and altered splicing in apc-mcr mutant zebrafish embryos at 48hpf. We find robust activation of known Wnt/b-catenin target genes, as expected. Surprisingly, we also find markedly increased expression of multiple genes related to inflammation and cytokine signaling. We also identify 340 mRNA splicing variations in apc mutant zebrafish. Many of these local splice variants (LSVs) occur in mRNAs the regulate cell adhesion, migration, and morphogenesis.
