Project description:Astrocyte diversity is greatly influenced by local environmental modulation. In this study, we analyzed the impact of ciliary deficient astrocytes on astrocytes’ intercellular communications and neuronal transcriptomes in the brain. Our analysis revealed a broad disturbance of astrocyte intercellular connectomes and profound changes in neuronal transcriptomic profiles induced by ciliary deficiency in astrocytes.

Project description:Astrocyte diversity is greatly influenced by local environmental modulation. In this study, we analyzed how primary ciliary signaling modulates astrocyte subtype-specific maturation and accessed the impact of ciliary deficient astrocytes on neuronal programs and behaviours. Comparative single-cell transcriptomics revealed that primary cilia mediate canonical Shh signaling to modulate astrocyte subtype-specific core features in synaptic regulation, intracellular transport, energy and metabolism. Our results uncover a critical role for primary cilia in transmitting local cues that drive the region-specific diversification of astrocytes within the developing brain.

Project description:Background: Whereas cilia damage and reduced cilia beat frequency have been implicated as causative of reduced mucociliary clearance in smokers, theoretically mucociliary clearance could also be affected by cilia length. Based on models of mucociliary clearance predicting cilia length must exceed the 6 -7 μm airway surface fluid depth to generate force in the mucus layer, we hypothesized cilia height may be decreased in airway epithelium of normal smokers compared to nonsmokers. Methodology/Principal Findings: Cilia length in normal nonsmokers and smokers was evaluated in aldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded endobronchial biopsies, and air-dried and hydrated samples brushed from human airway epithelium via fiberoptic bronchoscopy. In 28 endobronchial biopsies, healthy smoker cilia length was reduced 15% compared to nonsmokers (p<0.05). In 47 air-dried samples of airway epithelial cells, smoker cilia length was reduced 13% compared to nonsmokers (p<0.0001). Analysis of the length of individual, detached cilia in 17 samples, smoker cilia length was reduced 9% compared to nonsmokers (p<0.05). Finally, in 16 fully hydrated, unfixed samples, smoker cilia length was reduced 7% compared to nonsmokers (p<0.05). Conclusions/significance: Models predict that a reduction in cilia length would reduce mucociliary clearance, suggesting that smoking-associated shorter airway epithelial cilia plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of smoking-induced lung disease.

Project description:Germ cell connectivity via intercellular bridges is a widely conserved feature but its functional significance is poorly understood. Intercellular bridges are essential for fertility in male mice as genetic ablation of a critical bridge component, TEX14, causes loss of germ cell connectivity and meiotic failure, however the underlying reasons are unknown. A screen for meiosis-defective mouse mutants yielded a sterile mutant harboring a point mutation in Tex14 that leads to a partial loss of germ cell intercellular bridges. We utilized the Tex14 hypomorphs with reduced intercellular bridges, along with Tex14-null mice that completely lack bridges to examine the roles of germ cell connectivity during adult spermatogenesis. Complete or partial loss of intercellular bridges does not severely deplete spermatogonia, but spermatocytes are unable to undergo meiotic DNA replication and enter meiotic prophase. Phenotypic severity correlates with the extent of intercellular bridge depletion, with Tex14 hypomorphs containing a relatively larger number of spermatocytes undergoing meiosis, thus allowing us to assess impacts on meiotic progression. Tex14-deficient germ cells that enter prophase form meiotic breaks and initiate synapsis, but later exhibit synaptic failures and retain unrepaired breaks. Strikingly, Tex14-deficient germ cells derepress LINE1 retrotransposons and accumulate LINE1-encoded proteins during meiosis. Single-cell RNA-sequencing of testes from Tex14 hypomorphs show that intercellular bridge depletion modestly impacts the RNA landscape in early germ cell stages, while mutant cells that progress to late spermatocyte and post-meiotic spermatid stages broadly upregulate retrotransposons and dysregulate gene expression. RNA-sequencing confirms extensive sharing of transcripts between normal spermatids and demonstrates its partial attenuation in Tex14 hypomorphs, indicating that intercellular bridges enable exchange of cytoplasmic material between connected germ cells in testes. Tex14 hypomorphs display a progressive decline in germ cell numbers starting from the spermatocyte stage, with a complete lack of elongating spermatids, and are therefore sterile. Our findings reveal that the regulation of meiosis is non-cell-intrinsic and inform a model in which intercellular bridges orchestrate critical meiotic events and protect germline genome integrity during spermatogenesis, possibly by facilitating the exchange of regulatory factors.

Project description:This GEO Series contains datasets used in the paper "Evaluation Of RNAi And CRISPR Technologies By Large Scale Gene Expression Profiling In The Connectivity Map". The application of RNA interference (RNAi) to mammalian cells has provided the means to perform phenotypic screens to determine the functions of genes. Although RNAi has revolutionized loss of function genetic experiments, it has been difficult to systematically assess the prevalence and consequences of off-target effects. The Connectivity Map (CMAP) represents an unprecedented resource to study the gene expression consequences of expressing short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs). Analysis of signatures for over 13,000 shRNAs applied in 9 cell lines revealed that miRNA-like off-target effects of RNAi are far stronger and more pervasive than generally appreciated. We show that mitigating off-target effects is feasible in these datasets via computational methodologies to produce a Consensus Gene Signature (CGS). In addition, we compared RNAi technology to clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-based knockout by analysis of 373 sgRNAs in 6 cells lines, and show that the on-target efficacies are comparable, but CRISPR technology is far less susceptible to systematic off-target effects. These results will help guide the proper use and analysis of loss-of-function reagents for the determination of gene function.

Project description:Analysis of epithelial explants injected with the intracellular domain of Notch (ICD) to block the formation of multi-ciliate cells, either alone or along with FoxJ1. FoxJ1 misexpression leads to the induction fo ectopic cilia in Xenopus laevis epithelia. Results show which genes are affected by FoxJ1 during the induction of ectopic cilia. Ciliated cells that produce a leftward fluid flow have been proposed to mediate left-right patterning in many vertebrate embryos. These cilia combine features of primary sensory and motile cilia, but how such cilia are specified is unknown. We address this issue by analyzing the Xenopus and Zebrafish homologs of FoxJ1, a forkhead transcription factor necessary for ciliogenesis in multi-ciliate cells of the mouse. We show that the cilia that underlie left-right patterning on the Xenopus gastrocoel roof plate (GRP) and Zebrafish Kupffer’s vesicle (KV) are severely shortened or fail to form in FoxJ1 morphants. We also show that misexpressing XFoxJ1 is sufficient to induce ectopic GRP-like cilia formation in frog embryos. Microarray analysis indicates that XFoxJ1 induces the formation of cilia by upregulating the expression of motile cilia genes. These results indicate that FoxJ1 is a critical determinant in specifying cilia used in left-right patterning. Keywords: Cilia Induction
