Project description:The larval brain of Ciona intestinalis has similar architecture to that of vertebrates, but is only composed of approximately 330 cells. Transgenic embryos that carried Ci-beta-tubulin(promoter)::Kaede exhibited robust Kaede expression in the larval brain. Kaede-expressing cells were isolated, and their transcriptome was compared with that of cells that did not express Kaede using an oligonucleotide-based microarray. Our analysis identified 565 candidate genes that were preferentially expressed in the larval brain, 77 of which have previously been reported to be brain-related. The 565 genes included transcription factors, such as Otx, en, Pax3/7, Prop-A, Lhx1, Six3/6, Unc4-A, FoxC, and DMRT1; and signal transduction molecules, such as FGF4/5/6, Hedgehog1, Hedgehog2, patched, Fringe1, and Dkk3. Nearly 30 of the identified genes coded for receptors for neurotransmitters, neuropeptides or hormone pepetides. In addition, 15 genes encoded neuropeptides and hormone peptides, five of which were novel. Our catalog of genes that are expressed in the Ciona larval brain provides a foundation for future studies exploring the complex gene regulatory networks that mediate chordate brain development and function.

Project description:Recent whole-genome studies and in-depth expressed sequence tag (EST) analyses have identified most of the developmentally relevant genes in the urochordate, Ciona intestinalis. In this study, we made use of a large-scale oligo-DNA microarray to further investigate and identify genes with specific or correlated expression profiles. This large-scale oligo-DNA microarray for C. intestinalis should facilitate the understanding of global gene expression and gene networks during the development and ageing of a basal chordate.

Project description:Among urochordates (tunicates)—the closest living relatives of vertebrates—Ciona intestinalis is increasingly being used as a model organism in the field of developmental biology. Ciona intestinalis is the seventh animal which genome published; the ~120-Mbp euchromatin region is estimated to contain ~16,000 protein-coding genes. In addition, analyses of more than one million ESTs have provided the foundation for gene models and associated transcriptomes. The fertilized Ciona intestinalis egg develops into a tadpole larva with a simplified chordate body plan, and then it metamorphose into adult sea squirt of sessile filter feeder. One of interests in the field of developmental biology is to understand what kind of genes are expressed in the body and how spatially and/or temporally coordinated expression of genes is controlled. In this study, we investigated the entire gene expression of 11 organs of adult Ciona; the neural complex, branchial sac, esophagus, stomach, endostyle, intestine, body-wall muscle, heart, blood cells, ovary, and testis. Our data would provides basic information of transcriptome in each organ and help to understand gene expression control of organ specific genes.
