A tissue-mapped axolotl de novo transcriptome enables identification of limb regeneration factors

ABSTRACT: Discovery of genes driving axolotl limb regeneration has been challenging due to limited genomic resources. We assembled 42 RNA-Seq samples totaling approximately 1.3 billion 100 base paired-end reads using Trinity (Grabherr M.G. et al, Nature Biotechnology, 2011; Haas B.J. et al, Nature Protocols, 2013): https://github.com/trinityrnaseq/trinityrnaseq/wiki). We created a transcriptome with complete sequence information for most axolotl genes, identified transcriptional profiles that distinguish blastemas from differentiated limb tissues, and uncovered functional roles for cirbp and kazald1 in limb regeneration.

Multi-species atlas resolves an axolotl limb development and regeneration paradox

Project description:Humans and other tetrapods are considered to require apical-ectodermal-ridge, AER, cells for limb development, and AER-like cells are suggested to be re-formed to initiate limb regeneration. Paradoxically, the presence of AER in the axolotl, the primary regeneration model organism, remains controversial. Here, by leveraging a single-cell transcriptomics-based multi-species atlas, composed of axolotl, human, mouse, chicken, and frog cells, we first established that axolotls contain cells with AER characteristics. Surprisingly, further analyses and spatial transcriptomics revealed that axolotl limbs do not fully re-form AER cells during regeneration. Moreover, the axolotl mesoderm displays part of the AER machinery, revealing a novel program for limb (re)growth. These results clarify the debate about the axolotl AER and the extent to which the limb developmental program is recapitulated during regeneration.

Gene expression of senescent and non-senescent AL1 cells

Project description:Axolotl limb regeneration proceeds through the formation of a blastema, a mound of progenitor cells that accumulate at the end of the amputated stump. These progenitor cells expand and later undergo patterning to regenerate the missing limb, restoring both form and function. A subset of cells within the blastema become senescent, a state of permanent growth arrest. Here, we address the functional relevance of cellular senescence to axolotl limb regeneration, through a combination of gain- and loss-of-function assays. Using transcriptomic analyses on in vitro and in vivo senescent cells, we gain insights into the basis of the senescent phenotype, cell-cycle arrest, and molecular mediators involved in axolotl regeneration at the molecular level.

Comparative Transcriptional Profiling of the Axolotl Limb Identifies a Tripartite Regeneration-Specific Gene Program

Project description:Identifying the genetic program that induces limb regeneration in salamanders is an important resource for regenerative medicine, which currently lacks tools to promote regeneration of functional body structures. The genetic network underlying limb regeneration has been elusive due to the complexity of the injury response that occurs concomitant to blastema formation. Here we performed parallel expression profile time courses of non-regenerative lateral wounds versus amputated limbs in axolotl. We show that limb regeneration occurs in three distinguishable phases--early wound healing followed by a transition phase leading to establishment of the limb development program. By focusing on the transition phase, we identified 93 strictly regeneration-associated genes involved in oxidative stress response, chromatin modification, epithelial development and limb development. The specific expression of the genes was confirmed by in situ hybridization. Regeneration-specific expression databases are critical resources for understanding how regeneration-relevant phenotypes can be induced from adult cells Regeneration of the axolotl forelimb lower arm was compared with the healing of a deep lateral injury in a high density timecourse (uncut, 3h, 6h, 9h, 12h, 24h, 36h, 52h, 72h, 120h, 168h, 288h and 528h after injury). Three independent biological replicates were performed using separate cluches of animals. Amputated and lateral wound samples were made as matched contralateral samples of four pooled animals per timepoint.

Retinoic acid breakdown is required for proximodistal positional identity during axolotl limb regeneration

Project description:Regenerating limbs retain their proximodistal (PD) positional identity following amputation. This positional identity is encoded genetically by PD patterning genes, which instruct blastema cells to regenerate the appropriate PD limb segment. Retinoic acid (RA) is known to specify proximal limb identity, but how RA concentration is established in the blastema is unknown. Here, we show that RA breakdown via CYP26B1 is essential for determining the RA concentration within blastemas. CYP26B1 inhibition molecularly reprograms distal blastemas into a proximal identity, phenocopying the effects of administering excess RA. We identify Shox as an RA responsive gene that is differentially expressed between proximally and distally amputated blastemas. Ablation of Shox results in shortened limbs with proximal skeletal elements that fail to undergo endochondral ossification. These results suggest that PD positional identity is determined by RA degradation and that targets of RA have a critical role in skeletal element formation during limb regeneration.

Single-cell level transcriptomic anaylsis of the homeostatic and regenerating axolotl limb

Project description:Regeneration of complex multi-tissue structures, such as limbs, requires the coordinated effort of multiple cell types. In axolotl limb regeneration, the wound epidermis and blastema have been extensively studied via histology, grafting, and bulk-tissue RNA-sequencing. However, studying the contributions of these tissues is hindered due to limited information regarding the molecular identity of the cell types in regenerating limbs. By performing unbiased single-cell RNA-sequencing on over 25,000 cells from axolotl limbs, we identify a plethora of cellular diversity within epidermal, mesenchymal, and hematopoietic lineages in homeostatic and regenerating limbs. We identify regeneration-induced genes, develop putative trajectories for blastema cell differentiation, and propose the molecular identity and origin of fibroblast-derived blastema progenitor cells residing in homeostatic limbs. This work will enable application of molecular techniques to assess the contribution of these populations to limb regeneration. It will also facilitate work aimed at identifying transcripts and cells critical for limb regeneration.
