Project description:The oscillatory expression of Notch signaling in neural progenitors suggests that both repressors and activators of neural fate specification are expressed in the same progenitors. Since Notch1 regulates photoreceptor differentiation and contributes (together with Notch3) to ganglion cell fate specification, we hypothesized that genes encoding photoreceptor and ganglion cell fate activators would be highly expressed in Notch1 receptor-bearing (Notch1+) progenitors, directing these cells to differentiate into photoreceptors or into ganglion cells when Notch1 activity is diminished. To identify these genes, we used microarray analysis to study expression profiles of whole retinas and isolated from them Notch1+ cells at embryonic day 14 (E14) and postnatal day 0 (P0). To isolate Notch1+ cells, we utilized immunomagnetic cell separation. RNA from Notch1+ cells and whole retinas at E14 and P0 was extracted and used for microarray analysis. We processed individual samples that each contained 200,000-500,000 Notch1+ cells. A total of three independent biological replicates in the early stage (E14) of retinal development and four independent biological replicates in the late stage (P0) of retinal development were obtained for comparative profiling of Notch1+ cells and whole retinas.

Project description:Notch1 signaling is absolutely essential for steady-state thymic lymphopoiesis, but the role of other Notch receptors, and their potential overlap with the function of Notch1, remains unclear. Here we show that like Notch1, Notch3 is differentially expressed by progenitor thymocytes, peaking at the DN3 progenitor stage. Using mice carrying a gene-trapped allele, we show that thymic cellularity is slightly reduced in the absence of Notch3, although progression through the defined sequence of TCR-αβ development is normal, as are NKT and TCRγδ cell production. The absence of a profound effect from Notch3 deletion is not explained by residual function of the gene-trapped allele, since insertion mapping suggests that the targeted allele would not encode functional signaling domains. We also show that although Notch1 and Notch3 are co-expressed on some early intrathymic progenitors, the relatively mild phenotype seen after Notch3 deletion does not result from the compensatory function of Notch1, nor does Notch3 function explain the likewise mild phenotype seen after conditional (intrathymic) deletion of Notch1. Our studies indicate that Notch1 and Notch3 carry out non-overlapping functions during thymocyte differentiation, and that while Notch1 is absolutely required early in the lymphopoietic process, neither receptor is essential at later stages.

Project description:The mechanisms that activate some genes while silencing others are critical to ensure precision in lineage specification as multipotent progenitors become restricted in cell fate. During neurodevelopment, these mechanisms are required to generate the wide variety of neuronal subtypes found in the nervous system. Here we report interactions between basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcriptional activators and the transcriptional repressor PRDM13 that are critical for these processes during specification of dorsal spinal cord neurons. PRDM13 inhibits gene expression programs for the excitatory neuronal lineages in the dorsal neural tube while also suppressing a battery of genes that determine ventral neural tube fates including Olig1, Olig2 and Prdm12. PRDM13 does this via recruitment to chromatin by multiple neural bHLH factors to restrict gene expression in specific neuronal lineages. Together these findings highlight the function of PRDM13 in repressing bHLH transcriptional activators that together are required to achieve precise neuronal specification during development.

Project description:We used microarrays to perform a global gene expression analysis in Tcf1-expressing Thy1+CD25+ T lineage cells that develop on OP9 stroma in the absence of Notch1 signals. We compare this to the starting population, LMPP progenitors, and to control expressing T lineage cells that developed on OP9 stroma expressing Notch ligand DL4. The overall goal of this study was to determine if Tcf1 initiates T lineage specification in lymphoid progenitors. We found that Tcf1 was sufficient to upregulate many T lineage genes as compared to control expressing progenitors on OP9-DL4. Abstract of manuscript: The thymus imposes the T cell fate on incoming multipotent progenitors, but the molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. We show that transcription factor Tcf1 initiates T-lineage-specific gene expression. Tcf1 is downstream of Notch1 signaling and expressed in early T-cell progenitors. Progenitors deficient for Tcf1 are unable to initiate normal T-lineage specification. Conversely, ectopic expression of Tcf1 in hematopoietic progenitors is sufficient to induce expression of T-lineage specific genes in vitro. Thus, our study identifies Tcf1 as critically involved in the establishment T cell identity.

Thus, our study identifies Tcf1 as critically involved in the establishment T cell identity. Wiltype LMPPs were isolated by a FACSAria cell sorter and retrovirally transduced with a Tcf1-containing (Tcf1-VEX) or control vector (VEX) retrovirus. Tcf1-expressing cells and control-vector expressing cells were then seeded on OP9 stroma or OP9 stroma expressing Notch ligand DL4, respectively. On day 10, Thy1+CD25+ T lineage cells were sorted from Tcf1-expressing cells on OP9 stroma and compared to sorted LMPPs and Thy1+CD25+ T lineage cells that developed from control-vector expressing cells on OP9-DL4.

Project description:Tcf1 is necessary for optimal T lineage development. Tcf1 deficient progenitors fail to initiate the T lineage program in vitro and development is severely defective in vivo. We used microarrays to assess the overal global gene expression differences from Tcf1 wildtype and deficient lymphoid biased progenitors cultures on Notch-ligand expressing stroma to determine if Tcf1 deficient progenitors are able to intiate the T lineage specification program. Abstract of manuscript: The thymus imposes the T cell fate on incoming multipotent progenitors, but the molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. We show that transcription factor Tcf1 initiates T-lineage-specific gene expression. Tcf1 is downstream of Notch1 signaling and expressed in early T-cell progenitors.

Project description:During primary neurulation, the separation of a single-layered ectodermal sheet into the surface ectoderm (SE) and neural tube specifies SE and neural ectoderm (NE) cell fates. The mechanisms underlying fate specification in conjunction with neural tube closure are poorly understood. Here, by comparing expression profiles between SE and NE lineages, we observed that uncommitted progenitor cells, expressing stem cell markers, are present in the neural plate border/neural fold prior to neural tube closure. To identify what type of signaling pathways and transcriptional factors are involved in the fate specification between SE and NE cells during neurulation.
