Allelic-Specific Transcriptional Activation of Ath5 in Neurogenic Asymmetric Cell Division in Danio Rerio
Abstract：Retinal Progenitor Cells (RPCs) can produce Retinal Ganglion Cells (RGCs), as the first type of retinal neurons, by passing through asymmetric pision. During this process, transcription activity of ath5 gene starts expression in these RPCs and their daughter cells. Although transcriptional factor ath5 has been reported to be necessary when RPCs generating RGCs, yet so far, allelic-specific transcriptional activity of ath5 gene has not been explored, which may serves as an key for answering critical question whether ath5 transcriptional activity exhibits asymmetry and whether such asymmetry associates with RGCs cell fate determination. In this study, we collect embryos of wild-type zebrafish embryos at a series of development stage of 24-30-36-48 hours post fertilization, then we obtain coronal frozen-sections of these embryos and conduct separate experiments of RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (RNA-FISH) as well as DNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (DNA-FISH) experiments. As RNA-FISH results shows, ath5 transcriptional activity exhibits mainly in the central area of 36 hpf retinal coronal section tissues, while this transcription pattern changes and presents restricted pattern near retina ciliary marginal zone at the development stage of 48 hpf. After that, we conduct optimized dual RNA-DNA FISH experiments called Double-FISH，and analyze these data by construction 3-D structure of single cell using IMARIS software. Preliminary results indicate that allelic-specific transcriptional activity of ath5 seems asymmetric, which might associates with neurogenic asymmetric cell pision and subsequent cell fate determination，especially RGCs.
