Project description:Electric fishes have independently evolved six times. Most of these fish are weakly electric and they use their discharge mainly for orientation and communication. In the African weakly electric fish genus Campylomormyrus, electric organ discharge (EOD) signals are strikingly different in shape and duration among closely related species, they contribute to pre-zygotic isolation and may have triggered an adaptive radiation. We performed mRNA sequencing on electric organs (EOs) and skeletal muscle (SMs; from which the EOs derive) from three species with short (0.4 ms), medium (5 ms), and long (40 ms) EODs and two different cross-species hybrids. Using pairwise comparison of differential gene expression between EOs and SMs, we identified 1,444 up regulated genes in EO shared by all five species/hybrids cohorts, rendering them candidate genes for EO-specific properties in Campylomormyrus. To understand how gene expression contributes to the variation in EOD duration, we made cross species comparisons among species and tissue. We identified three types of EOD-duration-related expression patterns and several candidate genes, including KCNJ2, KLF5 and SLC24a2, their upregulation may contribute to increased EOD duration, along with a down-regulated gene KCNK6. Hybrids between a short (C. compressirostris) and a long (C. rhynchophorus) discharging species exhibit EODs of intermediate duration and showed imbalanced expression of KCNJ2 alleles. The preferential expression of the C. rhynchophorus allele is in line with a higher expression level in that parental species and points towards a cis-regulatory difference at this locus, relative to EOD duration. A further candidate gene, KLF5, is a transcription factor potentially balancing potassium channel gene expression, a crucial process for the formation of an EOD. Unraveling the genetic basis of the species-specific modulation of the EOD in Campylomormyrus is crucial for understanding the adaptive radiation of this emerging model taxon of ecological (perhaps even sympatric) speciation.

Project description:Hybridization can act as a catalyst for rapid phenotypic evolution by introducing novel allelic combinations, which can affect hybrid phenotype through changes in gene expression. The African weakly electric fish use their muscle-derived electric organ to produce electric organ discharge (EOD) for electrocommunication and electrolocation. The EOD in genus Campylomormyrus and cross-species hybrids is usually species-specific and varies during ontogeny. We compared the gene expression patterns and allele specific expression between juvenile and adult individuals in C. compressirostris (EOD duration 0.4 ms in juvenile and 0.4 ms in adult), C. rhynchophorus (EOD duration 5 ms in juvenile and 40 ms in adult) and their hybrid (EOD duration 0.4 ms in juvenile and 4 ms in adult). Differentially expressed genes between juveniles and adults were highly enriched in “membrane”, “plasma membrane” and “cytoplasm” Go Ontogeny terms. We detected several potassium channel-related genes (e.g. KCNJ2, ADCYAP1) that are potentially involved in the EOD development during ontogeny. The alleles from C. compressirostris show dominant expression in the hybrid at juvenile and adult life stages. KCNJ2 is the only gene that exhibits allelic dominance of C. rhynchophorus allele, and has an increasing expression during ontogeny in this allele. This suggests that the EOD development in hybrids could be related to the increasing allelic expression of the C. rhynchophorus allele under the scenario of overall dominance of C. compressirostris alleles. Our study sheds light in the evolution of the electric organ discharge in electric fishes and on the role of introgressive hybridization in complex phenotypic traits.

Project description:Cortical neurons exhibit astounding diversity in gene expression as well as in morphological and electrophysiological properties. Most existing neural taxonomies are based on either transcriptomic or morpho-electric criteria, as it has been technically challenging to study both aspects of neuronal diversity in the same set of cells. Here we used Patch-seq to combine patch-clamp recording, biocytin staining, and single-cell RNA sequencing of over 1300 neurons in adult mouse motor cortex, providing a comprehensive morpho-electric annotation of almost all transcriptomically defined neural cell types. We found that, although broad families of transcriptomic types (Vip, Pvalb, Sst, etc.) had distinct and essentially non-overlapping morpho-electric phenotypes, individual transcriptomic types within the same family were not well-separated in the morpho-electric space. Instead, there was a continuum of variability in morphology and electrophysiology, with neighbouring transcriptomic cell types showing similar morpho-electric features, often without clear boundaries between them. Our results suggest that neural types in the neocortex do not always form discrete entities. Instead, neurons follow a hierarchy consisting of distinct non-overlapping branches at the level of families, but can form continuous and correlated transcriptomic and morpho-electrical landscapes within families.

Project description:Study on changes in gene expression in primary cultures of neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes to electric stimulation. Through comparing non-stimulated, stimulated and blebbistatin supplemented and stimulated cultures we set out to identify the genes that are specifically activated by electric pulsing separate from cardiomyocyte contractions. After initial recovery phase, primary cultures of neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes were cultured for 3 days without pulsing, with electric pulsing or with electric pulsing combined with blebbistatin. Per treatment: 3 arrays, with samples obtained from 3 separate series of cardiomyocyte isolation and culturing. Per array: sample prepared from pooled (1:1) RNA from duplicate experiments.

Project description:Elasmobranch fishes, including sharks, rays, and skates, use specialized electrosensory organs called Ampullae of Lorenzini to detect extremely small changes in environmental electric fields. Electrosensory cells within these ampullae are able to discriminate and respond to minute changes in environmental voltage gradients through an as-yet unknown mechanism. Here we show that the voltage-gated calcium channel CaV1.3 and big conductance calcium-activated potassium (BK) channel are preferentially expressed by electrosensory cells in little skate (Leucoraja erinacea) and functionally couple to mediate electrosensory cell membrane voltage oscillations, which are important in the detection of specific, weak electrical signals. Both channels exhibit unique properties compared with their mammalian orthologues to support electrosensory functions: structural adaptations in CaV1.3 mediate a low voltage threshold for activation, while alterations in BK support specifically tuned voltage oscillations. These findings reveal a molecular basis of electroreception and demonstrate how discrete evolutionary changes in ion channel structure facilitate sensory adaptation.

Project description:We designed a custom expression 8x15 k microarray for Cottus fishes based on transcriptome sequencing. It is a known fact, that oligonucleotide probes differ in the binding behavior towards their target sequences. Therefore, we performed a calibration of our microarray where we assessed the binding behavior of the individual probes empirically. This information was used to normalize gene expression data measurements with the same microarray in another experiment. Please refer to the accompanying publication (Czypionka et al. 2011."Transcriptome changes after genome wide admixture in invasive sculpins" Molecular Ecology; no doi yet) for more information.
