Project description:The outcome of Notch proliferation on proliferation depends on the context. In Drosophila wing imaginal discs Notch activation causes hyperplasia despite having localized inhibitory effects on proliferation. To understand te underlying mechanisms we have used genomic strategies to identify the Notch-Su(H) target genes during wing discs hyperplasis. these data are the results from expression profiling the RNAs from hyperplastic wing discs overexpressing Nicd. Direct comparison of third instar lavae wing imaginal disc Nicd (abxUbxFLPase; Act>y>Gal4, UAS GFP; FRT82B tubGal80 with UAS-Nicd; FRT82B) vs control (abxUbxFLPase; Act>y>Gal4, UAS GFP; FRT82B tubGal80 with FRT82B ). 4 Biological replicates, the 2nd replicate was performed as a dye-swap.

Project description:The outcome of Notch activation on proliferation depends on cellular context. In Drosophila wing discs Notch activation causes hyperplasia despite having localized inhibitory effects on proliferation. To understand the underlying mechanisms we have used genomic strategies to identify the Notch-Su(H) target genes directly activated during wing disc hyperplasia. These data are the results from ChIP-Chip experiments to identify genomic regions occupied by Su(H) in hyperplastic Nicd-expressing Drosophila wing discs. 2 independent replicates; Immunoprecipitation perfomed with Su(H) antibody on chromatin isolated from wing discs overexpressing Nicd (abxUbxFLPase; Act>y>Gal4, UAS GFP; FRT82B tubGal80 with UAS-Nicd; FRT82B) and compared to the total input DNA.

Project description:Distinct shaping of the upper versus lower facial skeleton is essential for function of the vertebrate jaw and middle ear, yet the cellular mechanisms by which this occurs have remained unclear. Here, we show that Endothelin1 (Edn1) signaling accelerates mesenchymal condensation and subsequent cartilage formation in the lower face through antagonism of Jagged-Notch signaling and Prrx1 transcription factors. A genomic analysis of facial skeletal precursors in mutants and overexpression embryos reveals that Jagged-Notch signaling represses genes that are strongly induced as pharyngeal arch neural crest-derived cells begin skeletal differentiation. In wild types, initial Jagged-Notch repression dorsally ensures that barx1+ condensations and cartilage differentiation occur first in ventral-intermediate zones of the pharyngeal arches. Reduced Jagged-Notch signaling results in an expansion of pre-cartilage condensations in the upper face, with loss of barx1 partially restoring dorsal cartilage shapes in jag1b mutants. Further, by studying new mutants for zebrafish prrx1a and prrx1b, we find that Prrx1 genes function in parallel to Jagged-Notch signaling to restrict the formation of dorsal barx1+ pre-cartilage condensations. Consistently, combined losses of jag1b and prrx1a/b robustly rescue ventral barx1+ condensations and lower facial cartilage development in edn1 mutants. Together, our work suggests that Edn1 works through parallel inhibition of Jagged-Notch and Prrx1 pathways to promote an earlier and more extensive establishment of cartilage condensations in the lower face. We performed RNAseq on FACS-sorted neural crest-derived pharyngeal arch cells (fli1a:GFP; sox10:DsRed double positive) from wild-type embryos at 3 different stages (20, 28, and 36 hours post fertilization) and embryos with altered levels of Edn1 and Notch signaling (edn1 mutants and hsp70I:Gal4; UAS:Edn1 transgenics; jag1b mutants, dibenzazepine-treated embryos, and hsp70I:Gal4; UAS:NICD transgenics. We also sequenced RNA from heat-shocked UAS:Edn1+ and hsp70I:Gal4+ transgenics and jag1b+/+ controls.

Project description:Human oncogenes involved in the development of hematological malignancies have been widely used to model experimental leukemia. Here, we used the fli1 promoter in zebrafish to target the expression of oncogenic HRAS to endothelial cells, including the hemogenic endothelium and observed the development of a myelo-erythroid proliferative disease. In larvae, the pathological phenotype is characterized by some disruption of the vascular system with prominent expansion of the caudal hematopoietic tissue, increase of expression of stem cell markers and myelo-erythroid specific genes and production of a large number of l-plastin leukocytes. In mosaic juveniles, increased number of hematopoietic blasts and arrest of myeloid maturation was found in kidney marrow. Peripheral blood showed delays of erythrocyte maturation and increased number of circulating myeloid progenitors. We found that the abnormal phenotype is associated with a down regulation of the Notch pathway as shown by the decrease of expression of Notch target genes, whereas overexpressing an activated form of Notch together with the oncogene prevents the expansion of the myelo-erythroid compartment. This study identifies the downregulation of the Notch pathway following an oncogenic event in the hemogenic endothelium as an important step in the pathogenesis of myelo-erythroid diseases and describes a number of potential effectors of this transformation. Methods: mRNA profiles of transgenic zebrafish overexpressing the oncogene HRAS in endothelial cells (Tg(fli1ep:GAL4FF)ubs3; Tg(UAS:eGFP-HRASV12)io006); or expressing activate Notch in endothelial cells (Tg(fli1ep:GAL4FF)ubs3; tg(UAS:NICD)kca3) were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 2000. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed using the CLC bio Assembly Cell software (version 3.2) and the Ensembl (release 63) predicted cDNAs for the Zv9 genome assembly. qRTM-bM-^@M-^SPCR validation was performed using TaqMan and SYBR Green assays.

Project description:All vertebrates share a segmented body axis. Segments form from the rostral end of the presomitic mesoderm (PSM) with a periodicity that is regulated by the segmentation clock. The segmentation clock is a molecular oscillator that exhibits dynamic clock gene expression across the PSM with a periodicity that matches somite formation. Notch signalling is crucial to this process. Altering Notch intracellular domain (NICD) stability affects both the clock period and somite size. However, the mechanism by which NICD stability is regulated in this context is unclear. We identified a highly conserved site crucial for NICD recognition by the SCF E3 ligase, which targets NICD for degradation. We demonstrate both CDK1 and CDK2 can phosphorylate NICD in the domain where this crucial residue lies and that NICD levels vary in a cell cycle-dependent manner. Inhibiting CDK1 or CDK2 activity increases NICD levels both in vitro and in vivo, leading to a delay of clock gene oscillations and an increase in somite size.

Project description:Physiologically, Notch signal transduction plays a pivotal role in differentiation; pathologically, Notch signaling contributes to the development of cancer. Transcriptional activation of Notch target genes involves cleavage of the Notch receptor in response to ligand binding, production of the Notch intracellular domain (NICD), and NICD migration into the nucleus and assembly of a coactivator complex. Posttranslational modifications of the NICD are important for its transcriptional activity and protein turnover. Deregulation of Notch signaling and stabilizing mutations of Notch1 have been linked to leukemia development. We found that the methyltransferase CARM1 (coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1; also known as PRMT4) methylated NICD at five conserved arginine residues within the C-terminal transactivation domain. CARM1 physically and functionally interacted with the NICD-coactivator complex and was found at gene enhancers in a Notch-dependent manner. Although a methylation-defective NICD mutant was biochemically more stable, this mutant was biologically less active as measured with Notch assays in embryos of Xenopus laevis and Danio rerio. Mathematical modeling indicated that full but short and transient Notch signaling required methylation of NICD. Analysis of gene expression upon inactivation and activation of Notch signaling in Beko cells.

Project description:We report the transcriptional changes associated with inhibition of recycling endosome function within the developing zebrafish retina. Recycling endosome function was inhibited through transgenic expression of a Rab11a dominant negative protein within the developing retinal progenitor cells using UAS::mCherry-Rab11aS25N; vsx2::Gal4 transgenic zebrafish. Changes in gene expression, compared to vsx2:Gal4 controls were profiled through bulk RNA-sequencing experiments of dissected zebrafish retinas. Gene expression changes resulting from inhibition of recycling endosome function were then compared to experiments in which canonical signaling pathways were modulated, including activation of Notch-signaling (over-expression of the constitutively active Notch1a intracellular domain; UAS::myc-NICD1a; vsx2::Gal4), activation of Wnt-signaling (over-expression of Wnt2b; UAS::EGFP-Wnt2b;; vsx2::Gal4), activation of Hippo-signaling (over-expression of nuclear retained YapS87A; dRED::UAS::YapS87A; vsx2::Gal4), and inhibition of mTor signaling (through treatment of zebrafish embryos with Torrin).
