[bulk RNA Seq]", "GSE240238", "Transcriptome Analysis", "Background: V0v spinal interneurons are highly conserved  glutamatergic  commissural neurons that function in locomotor circuits. We have previously shown that Evx1 and Evx2 are required to specify the neurotransmitter phenotype of these cells. However  we still know very little about the gene regulatory networks that act downstream of these transcription factors in V0v cells. Methods: To identify candidate members of V0v gene regulatory networks  we FAC sorted WT and evx1;evx2 double mutant zebrafish V0v spinal interneurons and expression profiled them using microarrays and scRNA seq. We also used in situ hybridization to compare expression of a subset of candidate genes in evx1;evx2 mutants and wild type siblings.  Results: Our data reveal two molecularly distinct subtypes of V0v spinal interneurons at 48 h and suggest that  by this stage of development  evx1;evx2 double mutant cells transfate into either inhibitory spinal interneurons  or motoneurons. Our results also identify 25 transcriptional regulator genes that require Evx1/2 for their expression in V0v interneurons  plus a further 11 transcriptional regulator genes that are repressed in V0v interneurons by Evx1/2. Two of the latter genes are hmx2 and hmx3a. Intriguingly  we show that Hmx2/3a  repress dI2 interneuronal expression of skor1a and nefma  two genes that require Evx1/2 for their expression in V0v interneurons. This suggests that Evx1/2 might regulate skor1a and nefma expression in V0v interneurons by repressing Hmx2/3a expression. Conclusions: This study identifies two molecularly distinct subsets of V0v spinal interneurons  as well as multiple transcriptional regulators that are strong candidates for acting downstream of Evx1/2 to specify the essential functional characteristics of V0v interneurons. Our data further suggest that in the absence of both Evx1 and Evx2  V0v spinal interneurons initially change their neurotransmitter phenotypes from excitatory to inhibitory and then  later  start to express markers of distinct types of inhibitory spinal interneurons  or motoneurons. Taken together  our findings significantly increase our knowledge of V0v spinal development and move us closer towards the essential goal of identifying the complete gene regulatory networks that specify this crucial cell type. Overall design: Ten samples were analysed in total  all at 27 hpf. Five biological repicates were performed for V1 and dI2 spinal interneurons from uninjected wild type control embryos in the Tghmx CNEIII:cfos:GAL4 VP16 UAS:EGFPSU41 background.

We trimmed the adapter sequence \u201cCTGTCTCTTATACACATCT\u201d from the 3\u2019 end using default parameters  before trimming bases from the 5\u2019 end  selecting an end minimum quality value Phred score of 32  and a minimum read length of 65 bases. We aligned reads using default parameters and the STAR 2.6.1d algorithm. We normalized the log expression ratios using a Trimmed Means of M values TMM weighted algorithm. We performed differential expression analysis using the Gene Specific Analysis GSA algorithm in Partek Flow. The outcome of GSA was assessed by hierarchical clustering heatmap plotting  clustering by features  using average linkage and Euclidean cluster distance and point distance metrics respectively.

Morpholino injections always produce a spectrum of phenotypes  since it is hard to ensure that every cell receives the same dose. Therefore  prior to processing for FACS at 27 hpf  we removed any embryos with severely abnormal morphology stunted length and/or severely developmentally delayed  likely caused by receiving too much morpholino. DKD morphant embryos display a slight curled tail down morphology. Embryos that lacked this morphology and may therefore not have received any or sufficient morpholino were also removed before processing for FACS.", "Uninjected control embryos and hmx2;hmx3a DKD morphant embryos in the Tghmx CNEIII:cfos:GAL4 VP16 UAS:EGFPSU41 background generated as described above were screened for fluorescence from 24 hpf onwards.
