Project description:The pituitary is the master neuroendocrine tissue, which regulates body homeostasis. It consists of the adenohypophysis (AH), which harbors hormones producing cells and the neurohypophysis (NH), which relays the direct passage of hormones from the brain to the periphery. We previously characterized the mouse NH cell identities (Chen Q et al., 2020). However, the zebrafish NH cell types remained unknown owning to surgical inaccessible and limited amount of the tissue. Using Mars-Seq single-cell sequencing (Jaitin et al., 2014), we characterized the cell types of the neurohypophyseal enriched population from the juvenile and adult zebrafish pituitaries, which laid the foundation for further lineage and functional research in this study.
Project description:This study provides a comprehensive proteomic analysis of five matched pairs of the anterior and posterior lobe of the pituitary, which was used to study the proteomic signature specific to both anterior and posterior lobes. Anterior Lobe n=5 Posterior Lobe n=5 A441 PT441 A442 PT442 A457 PT457 A459 PT459 A460 PT460
Project description:Shh signal mediated by Gli family of transcription factors regulates digit growth and patterning in early limb development. Shh expression in the posterior margin of the limb bud defines the zone of polarizing activity. However, much less is know about downstream targets that mediate Shh signal functions. In this dataset, we include the expression data obtained from dissected anterior and posterior halves of mouse limb bud respectively. These data are used to obtain 889 transcripts that were upregulated 1.3 fold or more in the posterior limb bud, and 1189 transcripts that were enriched in the anterior limb bud at 1.3 fold or more. Two samples were analyzed. We generate pairwise comparisons between anterior and posterior limb tissues. Genes with a fold-change ≥1.3 were selected.

Project description:Postnatal neuroblasts were microdissected by laser micro dissection from posterior and anterior rostral migratory stream (RMS). Neuroblasts in the posterior RMS are just started their migration. Neuroblasts in the anterior RMS are already migrated for several days in the stream
Project description:The transcriptomes of immortalized anterior and posterior limb cell lines derived from E10.5 embryos were compared. Total RNA extracted from three E10.5 anterior and posterior limb cell line samples were compared.

Project description:During amniote peripheral nervous system development, segmentation ensures the correct patterning of the spinal nerves relative to vertebral column. Along the antero-posterior (rostro-caudal) axis, each somite-derived half-sclerotome has intrinsic molecular properties that govern this segmentation process. Posterior half-sclerotomes express repellent molecules to restrict axon growth and neural crest migration to anterior half-sclerotomes. Here, we report an RNA-sequencing-based molecular characterization of anterior and posterior half-sclerotomes, using the chick embryo as a model organism.
