Abstract |
We present here a transcriptome-wide characterization of spatial and cell-type specific expression patterns in non-regenerating animals, augmented with a comparison of transcript modulations during apical and basal regeneration after decapitation and mid-gastric bisection. The homeostatic and regeneration profiles of 25’637 Hydra transcripts are available on HydrAtlas (https://hydratlas.unige.ch), a web interface allowing a convenient access to the profiles of each transcript. Quantitative RNA-seq data were produced in several independent replicates (i) from slices dissected along the body column, (ii) from FACS-sorted cells of transgenic lines constitutively expressing GFP in one or the other stem cell populations, (iii) from the body column of animals having lost their ISCs after drug or heatshock treatment, (iv) from regenerating tips undergoing either head or foot regeneration at nine distinct time-points, from 30 minutes up to 48 hours post-amputation.
Research performed on animal species able to regenerate appendages, organs or tissues in adulthood have demonstrated the potential of adult stem cells (ASCs) and/or differentiated cells to restaure missing or injured structures. We also know since 2006 that differentiated cells can reactivate their stem cell potential, offering potent tools for regenerative medicine. However there is a need to fully understand the mechanisms that maintain ASCs or promote their differentiation, and those that lead differentiated cells to spontaneously dedifferentiate or transdifferentiate. The freshwater cnidarian polyp Hydra provides a unique model system to investigate the relationships between stemness, cell plasticity, regenerative potential and aging. Indeed Hydra maintains its body shape through continuous cell renewal, can regenerate any missing body part, and shows low senescence. These properties rely on three distinct stem cell populations that cannot replace each other, ectodermal epithelial and endodermal epithelial, both unipotent, and interstitial, multipotent. Recent work from our laboratory showed that interstitial cells are highly sensitive to cell death whereas the epithelial cells, predominantly in G2, are cell death resistant. Interestingly the elimination of the interstitial cells is compatible not only with animal survival but also with the maintenance of regeneration and budding. In this proposal we wish to combine Next Generation Sequencing and transgenic strategies to characterize the biochemical and genetic cascades that immediately after bisection promote the formation of an organizing activity in an adult gastric tissue, to evaluate the impact of epithelial cell death resistance and G2 pausing on regeneration. From these approaches, we expect to further characterize the role of injury-induced ROS signaling in wound healing and regeneration, and to identify novel regulators of physiological reprogramming, either when the animals regenerate or when they loose their interstitial cells. These candidates will be tested in mammalian contexts.
