Project description:We report transcriptional heterogeneity of venous endothelial cells (ECs) in the tail of zebrafish embryos, which consist of HSPC-niche-constituting ECs and caudal vessel (CV)-constituting ECs. To characterize isl1-derived ECs which derive from the endoderm and mainly constitute the HSPC niche in the caudal hematopoietic tissue (CHT), we performed single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of isl1-derived ECs and the other ECs separately isolated from the tails of zebrafish embryos. Our analyses revealed that tail venous ECs were split into 5 distinct sub-clusters where isl1-derived ECs and the other ECs were similarly distributed to all venous EC clusters, and further revealed that genes whose expression levels are different between isl1-derived ECs and the other ECs tend to show similar changes across all of the clusters even after their diversification.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of zebrafish embryo comparing wild type untreated embryos with embryos injected with morpholino of zf-grna. This assay is used for determination of expression profiling of trunk muscle at 16, 24, 48, 72 hpf under GRN-A deficiency.
Project description:This experiment investigates the role of a novel AHR-regulated gene on the global transcriptome in 48 hpf zebrafish exposed to 0.1% DMSO or 1 ng/mL TCDD.
Project description:We sought to identify new factors important for myeloid development. From a forward genetic screen in zebrafish we identified the transciptional repressor Zbtb11. To understand pathways regulated by Zbtb11 we profiled gene expression in 48 hpf WT and mne mutant zebrafish. We identified TP53 as a significantly upregulated gene in mne compared to WT.
Project description:Microarray analysis of triplicate RNA samples isolated from kdrl:eGFP-sorted ECs of wildtype, npas4l-/-, etsrp-/-, and sox32-/- zebrafish embryos in Tg(kdrl:EGFP) transgenic background between 18 and 18.5 hpf.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of zebrafish embryo comparing wild type untreated embryos with embryos injected with morpholino of zf-grna. This assay is used for determination of expression profiling of trunk muscle at 16, 24, 48, 72 hpf under GRN-A deficiency. Two-condition experiment, wild type vs. MO-grnA treated cells. Biological replicates: each group contains 200 embryos.
Project description:In order to obtain the transcriptomic information about roof/dorsal and floor/ventral endothelial cells (ECs) of the dorsal aorta (DA) in zebrafish, we isolated single ECs from the DA roof and the floor respectively using the Tg(flk1:eGFP;flk1:NLS-Eos) zebrafish after photoconversion, and then performed scRNA sequencing. These single ECs were isolated at two different time points, 21 hpf and 28 hpf, when the lumen of the DA is established and the EHT begins , respectively.
Project description:In our previous study, we found zebrafish embryos treated with 5uM 11,12-EET (epoxyeicosatrienoic acid) had increased stem cell marker, runx1, expression in the AGM. EET also induced ectopic runx1 expression in the tail. To systematically study how EET regulates gene expression, we performed microarray analysis on EET-treated embryos. Zebrafish whole embryos were synchronized at fertilization. Embryos were grown at 28 degree overnight. 25 embryos per group were treated with DMSO or 5uM 11,12-EET starting from 24 hpf (hour post fertilization) until 36 hpf at 28 degree. The triplicates were from three different clutches of embryos, and split into DMSO v.s. EET for each clutch.
