Project description:Plethodontid salamanders are the largest family of salamanders and are classic models for studying the effect of rapidly evolving courtship pheromones on mating behavior and reproductive success. Despite interests in plethodontid reproduction, very little is known about the molecular composition of salamander gametes, as the extraordinary sizes of their genomes have impaired the development of various omic-scale resources. To identify what proteins may be expressed in salamander sperm, we performed DIA-MS on sperm samples from two plethodontid species, Plethodon shermani and Desmognathus ocoee. As the first detailed study of salamander sperm, this study partially fills in a critical taxonomic gap in the study of fertilization proteins in vertebrates.

Project description:Study abstract: Axolotl salamanders (Ambystoma mexicanum) remain aquatic in their natural state, during which biomechanical forces on their diarthrodial limb joints are likely reduced relative to salamanders living on land. However, even as sexually mature adults, these amphibians can be induced to metamorphose into a weight-bearing terrestrial stage by environmental stress or the exogenous administration of thyroxine hormone. In some respects, this aquatic to terrestrial transition of axolotl salamanders through metamorphosis may model developmental and changing biomechanical skeletal forces in mammals during the prenatal to postnatal transition at birth and in the early postnatal period. To assess differences in the appendicular skeleton as a function of metamorphosis, anatomical and gene expression parameters were compared in skeletal tissues between aquatic and terrestrial axolotls that were the same age and genetically full siblings. The length of long bones and area of cuboidal bones in the appendicular skeleton, as well as the cellularity of cartilaginous and interzone tissues of femorotibial joints were generally higher in aquatic axolotls compared to their metamorphosed terrestrial siblings. A comparison of steady state mRNA transcripts encoding aggrecan core protein (ACAN), type II collagen (COL2A1), and growth and differentiation factor 5 (GDF5) in femorotibial cartilaginous and interzone tissues did not reveal any significant differences between aquatic and terrestrial axolotls. RNAseq samples: Total RNA was isolated from whole body tissue samples of Mexican axolotl salamanders (Ambystoma mexicanum) at the following developmental stages: Embryo at the tail bud stage, newly hatched larva, larva at the limb bud stage, juvenile at 8.5 centimeters, and adult using variations of guanidinium-based protocols. RNA quantity, purity, and integrity of both the individual samples and the resulting pool were determined with an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer using the Eukaryotic Total RNA nano series II analysis kit. The pooled RNA sample was poly-A selected and used for Illumina random priming directional library prep. Four lanes were sequenced only on one end providing single end reads and 4 lanes were sequenced at both ends giving paired-end reads. The library was sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 for 75bp reads producing 147,248,512 single end reads and 2 x 153,254,667 paired-end reads.

Project description:The order Caudata of amphibians has been important in the study of tissue regeneration. The most complete genetic available data from salamanders are from Ambystoma mexicanum (Ambystomidae) and Notophthalmus viridescens (Salamandridae). Transcriptome data obtained with Next-generation sequencing technology has become a useful tool to discover new candidate genes in non-model organisms without a genome of reference. This study highlights the need of performing RNA-sequencing in other salamander species to compare and identify important clusters of genes that could be modulating important biological process in amphibians. Here we describe a de novo reference transcriptome and its annotation of a non-model terrestrial salamander, Bolitoglossa vallecula (Caudata: Plethodontidae). For this purpose, we utilized genome protein databases from vertebrates, nucleotide sequences obtained for salamander species, and a de novo reference transcriptomes of Bolitoglossa ramosi to conduct a homology analysis. While the majority of the transcripts recovered homologs with Bolitoglossa ramosi, only a minority of the data (22%; n= 94,739) recovered homologs with other vertebrates. We also compared the transcriptome profile of skin tissue between these Bolitoglossa species. We found a group of antimicrobial peptides, such as cathelicidins, which have been not previously described in salamanders and could be important modulators of different biological process. All animals used in this work were collected under the Contract on Genetic Access for scientific research for non commercial profit (Contrato de acceso a recursos genéticos para la investigación científica sin interés commercial) to Resources number 118–2015.

Project description:Transcriptome studies are revealing the complex gene expression basis of limb regeneration in the primary salamander model – Ambystoma mexicanum (axolotl). To better understand this complexity, there is need to extend analyses to additional salamander species. Using microarray and RNA-Seq, we performed a comparative transcriptomic study using A. mexicanum and two other ambystomatid salamanders: A. andersoni, and A. maculatum. Salamanders were administered forelimb amputations and RNA was isolated and analyzed to identify 405 non-redundant genes that were commonly, differentially expressed 24 hours post amputation. Many of the upregulated genes are predicted to function in wound healing and developmental processes, while many of the downregulated genes are typically expressed in muscle. The conserved transcriptional changes identified in this study provide a high-confidence dataset for identifying factors that simultaneous orchestrate wound healing and regeneration processes in response to injury, and more generally for identifying genes that are essential for salamander limb regeneration.
