Interspecific single-cell transcriptomic analysis reveals differences in signaling pathways governing gonadal primordial germ cells between chicken and zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) [chicken scRNA-seq]

Project description:Primordial germ cells (PGCs), major cell resource used in the production of germline chimeras in birds, have been used in conservation of avian genetic resources and production of transgenic animals. Numerous bird species have been put on the brink of extinction due to habitat loss and degradation caused by environmental destruction and climate change, but research on PGCs is limited to specific poultry, such as chickens. Although it has recently been expanding to various bird species, it is still difficult to utilize PGCs due to biological differences and difficulties in in vitro long-term culture. Here, we constructed a single-cell landscape of chicken gonadal PGCs with established long-term culture systems of PGCs and compared them with those of the vocal learning wild bird, the zebra finches. Our results identified the interspecific differences in signaling pathways in gonadal PGCs and somatic cells, respectively. In particular, the NODAL and insulin signaling pathways were more active in zebra finch than in chickens, whereas the FGF downstream signaling pathway known to be important for the proliferation of chicken PGCs, was more active in chickens. These differences may contribute to optimizing the in vitro culture conditions of zebra finch PGCs. This study is the first cross-species single-cell transcriptomic analysis targeting birds, and laid an essential groundwork to contribute to the restoration of endangered birds and the production of transgenic birds by securing sufficient PGCs from various bird species in the future.

Sex bias and dosage compensation in the zebra finch versus chicken genomes: general and specialized patterns among birds

Project description:We have performed a comparison of global patterns of gene expression between two bird species, the chicken and zebra finch, especially with regard to sex bias of autosomal vs. Z chromosome genes, dosage compensation and evolution of sex bias. Both species appear to lack a Z chromosome-wide mechanism of dosage compensation, because both have a similar pattern of significantly higher expression of Z genes in males relative to females. Unlike the chicken Z chromosome, which has female-specific expression of the non-coding RNA MHM (male hypermethylated), and acetylation of histone 4 lysine 16 (H4K16) near MHM, the zebra finch Z chromosome appears to lack the MHM sequence and acetylation of H4K16. The zebra finch also does not show the reduced male to female (M:F) ratio of gene expression near MHM similar to that found in the chicken. Although the M:F ratios of Z chromosome gene expression are similar across tissues and ages within each species, they differ between the two species. Z genes showing the greatest species difference in M:F ratio were concentrated near the MHM region of the chicken Z chromosome. The current study shows that the zebra finch differs from the chicken because it lacks a specialized region of greater dosage compensation along the Z chromosome, and shows dosage compensation for a different set of Z genes than the chicken. These patterns suggest that different avian taxa may have evolved specific compensatory mechanisms. Experimental groups: Post-hatch Days 1, 25, 45, and 90+ for both Females and Males (d1_F, d1_M, d25_F, d25_M, d45_F, d45_M, adult_F, adult_M). Biological replicates: 6 per group. One test developmental stage subject and one universal SoNG reference (pooled Taeniopygia guttata brain) per array.

Project description:We have conducted a Cross-Species Microarray analysis by hybridizing genomic DNA from the common whitethroat (Sylivia communis) on a newly developed Affymetrix costum array designed for the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata), the Lund-zf array. We have also quality tested the Lund-zf array by hybridizing zebra finch genomic DNA to the platform.

Validation of a genome-wide search for zebra finch epigenetically regulated genes using Zebra finch Exon Arrays

Project description:DNA methylation is tightly linked with gene expression regulation and has long been regarded a stable epigenetic mark in postmitotic cells. However, it recently became clear that postnatal brains appear to show stimulus-induced de novo CpG methylation or active demethylation related to neuronal plasticity. Due to striking homologies between the brains of birds and mammals, songbirds, especially the zebra finch, propose an attractive model for investigating the genome-wide DNA methylation profile and DNA methylation reconfiguration during brain development. In order to obtain a first genome-wide compendium of genes under putative DNA methylation control, we performed MethyCap-seq experiments on two recently cultured zebra finch cell lines, G266 and ZFTMA, also upon AZA-induced demethylation. First, the MethylCap-seq methodology in zebra finch was validated by comparison with RRBS generated data. Subsequently, quantitative analysis identified 30,700 significantly demethylated loci upon AZA-treatment. Further examination revealed enrichment of these regions in exons and promoters. To assess the influence of methylation on gene expression, RNA-seq experiments were performed. Comparison of the RNA-seq and MethylCap-seq results showed that at least 357 of the 3,457 AZA-upregulated genes are putatively regulated by methylation in the promoter region, for which a pathway analysis showed obvious enrichment for neurological networks. The ZF exon-arrays analysis validated the RNA-seq expression result for 75% and 62%, of the down and up-regulated genes, respectively. A subset of genes was validated also using qPCR and CpG pyrosequencing. To our knowledge, this study provides the first genome-wide DNA methylation map of the zebra finch genome as well as a comprehensive set of genes of which transcription is under putative methylation control
