Sequence variants in enhancers have been implicated in disease however establishing the functional consequences of these variants is challenging due to a lack of understanding of precise cell types and developmental stages where the enhancers are normally active. PAX6 is the master regulator of eye development with a regulatory landscape containing multiple enhancers driving expression in the eye. Whether these enhancers perform additive redundant or distinct functions is unknown. Here we describe the precise cell types and regulatory activity of two PAX6 retinal enhancers HS5 and NRE. Using a unique combination of live imaging and single cell RNA sequencing in dual enhancer reporter zebrafish embryos we uncover differences in the spatiotemporal activity of these enhancers. Our results show that although overlapping these enhancers have distinct activities in different cell types and therefore likely non redundant functions. This work demonstrates that unique cell type specific activities can be uncovered for apparently similar enhancers when investigated at high resolution in vivo. Overall design: In order to define the precise cell types within the retina where the PAX6 enhancers HS5 and NRE are active we carried out scRNA seq on eyes from NRE eGFP/HS5 mCherry zebrafish reporter embryos. With this technique we aimed to uncover cell type or transcriptional differences between the two enhancer active populations. We dissected eyes from 48 hpf NRE eGFP/HS5 mCherry embryos and used FACS to enrich for either mCherry positive/HS5 active cells or eGFP positive/NRE active cells. Three samples for each population were processed for scRNA seq using the 10x Genomics Chromium single cell three prime gene expression technology.,,pubmed:37643867,,gfp enriched rep3,GSM7702835,,source name:Eye|tissue:Eye|genotype:NRE eGFP/HS5 mCherry|developmental stage:48 hpf|geo loc name:missing|collection date:missing,gfp enriched rep3,Cell Ranger v6.1.2 was used to perform alignment filtering barcode counting and UMI counting. A custom reference genome was created for alignment using cellranger mkref combining the Danio rerio GRCz11 genome assembly with manually annotated eGFP and mCherry sequences. Cell calling and QC: The emptyDrops function from DropletUtils was used to filter out empty droplets/barcodes not corresponding to cells Lun et al. 2019. Mitochondrial and ribosomal genes were excluded from the emptyDrops analysis to improve the filtering of droplets containing ambient RNA or cell fragments. The scater package was used to filter cells based on the QC metrics of library size detected genes and mitochondrial reads McCarthy et al. 2017. Cells with detected genes ≥ 500 library size ≥ 800 and mitochondrial reads ≤ 10% were retained. Within the processed dataset mean reads per cell = 11239 and median genes per cell = 1554. Reference mapping and filtering: The SingleR package was used to annotate cell types based on mapping to the zebrafish single cell transcriptome atlas Aran et al. 2019; Farnsworth et al. 2019. Expression matrix and cell annotation data were downloaded from the UCSC cell browser http://zebrafish dev.cells.ucsc.edu; only the 2 dpf data were used for mapping. Erroneously sorted cells of non retinal identity for example pigmented cell types such as melanocytes with high autofluorescence were filtered out at this stage. This was carried out to improve the resolution of clustering for retinal cell types. Clustering and cell type annotation: Seurat v4 was used for clustering and further analysis for a total of 6 288 cells Butler et al. 2018. SCTransform was used to perform log normalisation scaling and highly variable gene HVG detection on a dataset consisting of the 6 samples merged into one. Standard SCTransform options were used with regression of mitochondrial expression and cell cycle stage using ‘vars.to.regress’. We performed Principle Component Analysis PCA on the normalized counts matrix restricted to HVGs using Seurat's RunPCA function with number of PCs = 50. To enable integration of the samples we then used Harmony to generate PCs corrected for batch effects between libraries Korsunsky et al. 2019. The Harmony PCs were then used to perform K nearest neighbour analysis k=20 and Louvain clustering using Seurat 15 dimensions and resolution 0.6. Clusters were annotated as retinal cell types based on the highest expressed marker genes and other known genes for each cell type using information from the literature and ZFIN Sprague et al. 2008. Cell cycle scoring was performed using the Seurat CellCycleScoring function using zebrafish genes homologous to the ‘s.features’ and ‘g2m.features’ genes provided by Seurat.

Expression matrix and cell annotation data were downloaded from the UCSC cell browser http://zebrafish dev.cells.ucsc.edu; only the 2 dpf data were used for mapping. Erroneously sorted cells of non retinal identity for example pigmented cell types such as melanocytes with high autofluorescence were filtered out at this stage. This was carried out to improve the resolution of clustering for retinal cell types. Clustering and cell type annotation: Seurat v4 was used for clustering and further analysis for a total of 6 288 cells Butler et al. 2018. SCTransform was used to perform log normalisation scaling and highly variable gene HVG detection on a dataset consisting of the 6 samples merged into one. Standard SCTransform options were used with regression of mitochondrial expression and cell cycle stage using ‘vars.to.regress’. We performed Principle Component Analysis PCA on the normalized counts matrix restricted to HVGs using Seurat's RunPCA function with number of PCs = 50. To enable integration of the samples we then used Harmony to generate PCs corrected for batch effects between libraries Korsunsky et al. 2019. The Harmony PCs were then used to perform K nearest neighbour analysis k=20 and Louvain clustering using Seurat 15 dimensions and resolution 0.6. Clusters were annotated as retinal cell types based on the highest expressed marker genes and other known genes for each cell type using information from the literature and ZFIN Sprague et al. 2008. Cell cycle scoring was performed using the Seurat CellCycleScoring function using zebrafish genes homologous to the ‘s.features’ and ‘g2m.features’ genes provided by Seurat.

Sequence variants in enhancers have been implicated in disease however establishing the functional consequences of these variants is challenging due to a lack of understanding of precise cell types and developmental stages where the enhancers are normally active. PAX6 is the master regulator of eye development with a regulatory landscape containing multiple enhancers driving expression in the eye. Whether these enhancers perform additive redundant or distinct functions is unknown. Here we describe the precise cell types and regulatory activity of two PAX6 retinal enhancers HS5 and NRE. Using a unique combination of live imaging and single cell RNA sequencing in dual enhancer reporter zebrafish embryos we uncover differences in the spatiotemporal activity of these enhancers. Our results show that although overlapping these enhancers have distinct activities in different cell types and therefore likely non redundant functions. This work demonstrates that unique cell type specific activities can be uncovered for apparently similar enhancers when investigated at high resolution in vivo. Overall design: In order to define the precise cell types within the retina where the PAX6 enhancers HS5 and NRE are active we carried out scRNA seq on eyes from NRE eGFP/HS5 mCherry zebrafish reporter embryos.

We dissected eyes from 48 hpf NRE eGFP/HS5 mCherry embryos and used FACS to enrich for either mCherry positive/HS5 active cells or eGFP positive/NRE active cells.

Sequence variants in enhancers have been implicated in disease however establishing the functional consequences of these variants is challenging due to a lack of understanding of precise cell types and developmental stages where the enhancers are normally active. PAX6 is the master regulator of eye development with a regulatory landscape containing multiple enhancers driving expression in the eye. Whether these enhancers perform additive redundant or distinct functions is unknown. Here we describe the precise cell types and regulatory activity of two PAX6 retinal enhancers HS5 and NRE. Using a unique combination of live imaging and single cell RNA sequencing in dual enhancer reporter zebrafish embryos we uncover differences in the spatiotemporal activity of these enhancers. Our results show that although overlapping these enhancers have distinct activities in different cell types and therefore likely non redundant functions. This work demonstrates that unique cell type specific activities can be uncovered for apparently similar enhancers when investigated at high resolution in vivo. Overall design: In order to define the precise cell types within the retina where the PAX6 enhancers HS5 and NRE are active we carried out scRNA seq on eyes from NRE eGFP/HS5 mCherry zebrafish reporter embryos. With this technique we aimed to uncover cell type or transcriptional differences between the two enhancer active populations. We dissected eyes from 48 hpf NRE eGFP/HS5 mCherry embryos and used FACS to enrich for either mCherry positive/HS5 active cells or eGFP positive/NRE active cells.

A custom reference genome was created for alignment using cellranger mkref combining the Danio rerio GRCz11 genome assembly with manually annotated eGFP and mCherry sequences. Cell calling and QC: The emptyDrops function from DropletUtils was used to filter out empty droplets/barcodes not corresponding to cells Lun et al. 2019. Mitochondrial and ribosomal genes were excluded from the emptyDrops analysis to improve the filtering of droplets containing ambient RNA or cell fragments. The scater package was used to filter cells based on the QC metrics of library size detected genes and mitochondrial reads McCarthy et al. 2017. Cells with detected genes ≥ 500 library size ≥ 800 and mitochondrial reads ≤ 10% were retained. Within the processed dataset mean reads per cell = 11239 and median genes per cell = 1554. Reference mapping and filtering: The SingleR package was used to annotate cell types based on mapping to the zebrafish single cell transcriptome atlas Aran et al. 2019; Farnsworth et al. 2019. Expression matrix and cell annotation data were downloaded from the UCSC cell browser http://zebrafish dev.cells.ucsc.edu; only the 2 dpf data were used for mapping. Erroneously sorted cells of non retinal identity for example pigmented cell types such as melanocytes with high autofluorescence were filtered out at this stage. This was carried out to improve the resolution of clustering for retinal cell types. Clustering and cell type annotation: Seurat v4 was used for clustering and further analysis for a total of 6 288 cells Butler et al. 2018. SCTransform was used to perform log normalisation scaling and highly variable gene HVG detection on a dataset consisting of the 6 samples merged into one. Standard SCTransform options were used with regression of mitochondrial expression and cell cycle stage using ‘vars.to.regress’. We performed Principle Component Analysis PCA on the normalized counts matrix restricted to HVGs using Seurat's RunPCA function with number of PCs = 50. To enable integration of the samples we then used Harmony to generate PCs corrected for batch effects between libraries Korsunsky et al. 2019. The Harmony PCs were then used to perform K nearest neighbour analysis k=20 and Louvain clustering using Seurat 15 dimensions and resolution 0.6. Clusters were annotated as retinal cell types based on the highest expressed marker genes and other known genes for each cell type using information from the literature and ZFIN Sprague et al. 2008. Cell cycle scoring was performed using the Seurat CellCycleScoring function using zebrafish genes homologous to the ‘s.features’ and ‘g2m.features’ genes provided by Seurat.

Cells with detected genes ≥ 500 library size ≥ 800 and mitochondrial reads ≤ 10% were retained. Within the processed dataset mean reads per cell = 11239 and median genes per cell = 1554. Reference mapping and filtering: The SingleR package was used to annotate cell types based on mapping to the zebrafish single cell transcriptome atlas Aran et al. 2019; Farnsworth et al. 2019. Expression matrix and cell annotation data were downloaded from the UCSC cell browser http://zebrafish dev.cells.ucsc.edu; only the 2 dpf data were used for mapping. Erroneously sorted cells of non retinal identity for example pigmented cell types such as melanocytes with high autofluorescence were filtered out at this stage. This was carried out to improve the resolution of clustering for retinal cell types. Clustering and cell type annotation: Seurat v4 was used for clustering and further analysis for a total of 6 288 cells Butler et al. 2018. SCTransform was used to perform log normalisation scaling and highly variable gene HVG detection on a dataset consisting of the 6 samples merged into one. Standard SCTransform options were used with regression of mitochondrial expression and cell cycle stage using ‘vars.to.regress’. We performed Principle Component Analysis PCA on the normalized counts matrix restricted to HVGs using Seurat's RunPCA function with number of PCs = 50. To enable integration of the samples we then used Harmony to generate PCs corrected for batch effects between libraries Korsunsky et al. 2019. The Harmony PCs were then used to perform K nearest neighbour analysis k=20 and Louvain clustering using Seurat 15 dimensions and resolution 0.6. Clusters were annotated as retinal cell types based on the highest expressed marker genes and other known genes for each cell type using information from the literature and ZFIN Sprague et al. 2008. Cell cycle scoring was performed using the Seurat CellCycleScoring function using zebrafish genes homologous to the ‘s.features’ and ‘g2m.features’ genes provided by Seurat.

Sequence variants in enhancers have been implicated in disease however establishing the functional consequences of these variants is challenging due to a lack of understanding of precise cell types and developmental stages where the enhancers are normally active. PAX6 is the master regulator of eye development with a regulatory landscape containing multiple enhancers driving expression in the eye. Whether these enhancers perform additive redundant or distinct functions is unknown. Here we describe the precise cell types and regulatory activity of two PAX6 retinal enhancers HS5 and NRE. Using a unique combination of live imaging and single cell RNA sequencing in dual enhancer reporter zebrafish embryos we uncover differences in the spatiotemporal activity of these enhancers. Our results show that although overlapping these enhancers have distinct activities in different cell types and therefore likely non redundant functions. This work demonstrates that unique cell type specific activities can be uncovered for apparently similar enhancers when investigated at high resolution in vivo. Overall design: In order to define the precise cell types within the retina where the PAX6 enhancers HS5 and NRE are active we carried out scRNA seq on eyes from NRE eGFP/HS5 mCherry zebrafish reporter embryos. With this technique we aimed to uncover cell type or transcriptional differences between the two enhancer active populations. We dissected eyes from 48 hpf NRE eGFP/HS5 mCherry embryos and used FACS to enrich for either mCherry positive/HS5 active cells or eGFP positive/NRE active cells.

Sequence variants in enhancers have been implicated in disease however establishing the functional consequences of these variants is challenging due to a lack of understanding of precise cell types and developmental stages where the enhancers are normally active. PAX6 is the master regulator of eye development with a regulatory landscape containing multiple enhancers driving expression in the eye. Whether these enhancers perform additive redundant or distinct functions is unknown. Here we describe the precise cell types and regulatory activity of two PAX6 retinal enhancers HS5 and NRE. Using a unique combination of live imaging and single cell RNA sequencing in dual enhancer reporter zebrafish embryos we uncover differences in the spatiotemporal activity of these enhancers. Our results show that although overlapping these enhancers have distinct activities in different cell types and therefore likely non redundant functions. This work demonstrates that unique cell type specific activities can be uncovered for apparently similar enhancers when investigated at high resolution in vivo. Overall design: In order to define the precise cell types within the retina where the PAX6 enhancers HS5 and NRE are active we carried out scRNA seq on eyes from NRE eGFP/HS5 mCherry zebrafish reporter embryos. With this technique we aimed to uncover cell type or transcriptional differences between the two enhancer active populations. We dissected eyes from 48 hpf NRE eGFP/HS5 mCherry embryos and used FACS to enrich for either mCherry positive/HS5 active cells or eGFP positive/NRE active cells. Three samples for each population were processed for scRNA seq using the 10x Genomics Chromium single cell three prime gene expression technology.,,pubmed:37643867,,mcherry enriched rep2,GSM7702832,,source name:Eye|tissue:Eye|genotype:NRE eGFP/HS5 mCherry|developmental stage:48 hpf|geo loc name:missing|collection date:missing,mcherry enriched rep2,Cell Ranger v6.1.2 was used to perform alignment filtering barcode counting and UMI counting. A custom reference genome was created for alignment using cellranger mkref combining the Danio rerio GRCz11 genome assembly with manually annotated eGFP and mCherry sequences. Cell calling and QC: The emptyDrops function from DropletUtils was used to filter out empty droplets/barcodes not corresponding to cells Lun et al. 2019. Mitochondrial and ribosomal genes were excluded from the emptyDrops analysis to improve the filtering of droplets containing ambient RNA or cell fragments. The scater package was used to filter cells based on the QC metrics of library size detected genes and mitochondrial reads McCarthy et al. 2017. Cells with detected genes ≥ 500 library size ≥ 800 and mitochondrial reads ≤ 10% were retained. Within the processed dataset mean reads per cell = 11239 and median genes per cell = 1554. Reference mapping and filtering: The SingleR package was used to annotate cell types based on mapping to the zebrafish single cell transcriptome atlas Aran et al. 2019; Farnsworth et al. 2019. Expression matrix and cell annotation data were downloaded from the UCSC cell browser http://zebrafish dev.cells.ucsc.edu; only the 2 dpf data were used for mapping. Erroneously sorted cells of non retinal identity for example pigmented cell types such as melanocytes with high autofluorescence were filtered out at this stage. This was carried out to improve the resolution of clustering for retinal cell types. Clustering and cell type annotation: Seurat v4 was used for clustering and further analysis for a total of 6 288 cells Butler et al. 2018. SCTransform was used to perform log normalisation scaling and highly variable gene HVG detection on a dataset consisting of the 6 samples merged into one. Standard SCTransform options were used with regression of mitochondrial expression and cell cycle stage using ‘vars.to.regress’. We performed Principle Component Analysis PCA on the normalized counts matrix restricted to HVGs using Seurat's RunPCA function with number of PCs = 50. To enable integration of the samples we then used Harmony to generate PCs corrected for batch effects between libraries Korsunsky et al. 2019. The Harmony PCs were then used to perform K nearest neighbour analysis k=20 and Louvain clustering using Seurat 15 dimensions and resolution 0.6. Clusters were annotated as retinal cell types based on the highest expressed marker genes and other known genes for each cell type using information from the literature and ZFIN Sprague et al. 2008. Cell cycle scoring was performed using the Seurat CellCycleScoring function using zebrafish genes homologous to the ‘s.features’ and ‘g2m.features’ genes provided by Seurat.

Reference mapping and filtering: The SingleR package was used to annotate cell types based on mapping to the zebrafish single cell transcriptome atlas Aran et al. 2019; Farnsworth et al. 2019. Expression matrix and cell annotation data were downloaded from the UCSC cell browser http://zebrafish dev.cells.ucsc.edu; only the 2 dpf data were used for mapping. Erroneously sorted cells of non retinal identity for example pigmented cell types such as melanocytes with high autofluorescence were filtered out at this stage. This was carried out to improve the resolution of clustering for retinal cell types. Clustering and cell type annotation: Seurat v4 was used for clustering and further analysis for a total of 6 288 cells Butler et al. 2018. SCTransform was used to perform log normalisation scaling and highly variable gene HVG detection on a dataset consisting of the 6 samples merged into one. Standard SCTransform options were used with regression of mitochondrial expression and cell cycle stage using ‘vars.to.regress’. We performed Principle Component Analysis PCA on the normalized counts matrix restricted to HVGs using Seurat's RunPCA function with number of PCs = 50. To enable integration of the samples we then used Harmony to generate PCs corrected for batch effects between libraries Korsunsky et al. 2019. The Harmony PCs were then used to perform K nearest neighbour analysis k=20 and Louvain clustering using Seurat 15 dimensions and resolution 0.6. Clusters were annotated as retinal cell types based on the highest expressed marker genes and other known genes for each cell type using information from the literature and ZFIN Sprague et al. 2008. Cell cycle scoring was performed using the Seurat CellCycleScoring function using zebrafish genes homologous to the ‘s.features’ and ‘g2m.features’ genes provided by Seurat.

Sequence variants in enhancers have been implicated in disease however establishing the functional consequences of these variants is challenging due to a lack of understanding of precise cell types and developmental stages where the enhancers are normally active. PAX6 is the master regulator of eye development with a regulatory landscape containing multiple enhancers driving expression in the eye. Whether these enhancers perform additive redundant or distinct functions is unknown. Here we describe the precise cell types and regulatory activity of two PAX6 retinal enhancers HS5 and NRE. Using a unique combination of live imaging and single cell RNA sequencing in dual enhancer reporter zebrafish embryos we uncover differences in the spatiotemporal activity of these enhancers. Our results show that although overlapping these enhancers have distinct activities in different cell types and therefore likely non redundant functions. This work demonstrates that unique cell type specific activities can be uncovered for apparently similar enhancers when investigated at high resolution in vivo. Overall design: In order to define the precise cell types within the retina where the PAX6 enhancers HS5 and NRE are active we carried out scRNA seq on eyes from NRE eGFP/HS5 mCherry zebrafish reporter embryos. With this technique we aimed to uncover cell type or transcriptional differences between the two enhancer active populations. We dissected eyes from 48 hpf NRE eGFP/HS5 mCherry embryos and used FACS to enrich for either mCherry positive/HS5 active cells or eGFP positive/NRE active cells.

Conversely genes controlling regeneration following limited retinal cell loss per degenerative disease are undefined. Studying regeneration in the context of selective cell loss is important as evidence suggests injury specifics inform the regenerative process. Here transgenic zebrafish enabling inducible selective retinal ganglion cell RGC ablation were combined with single cell multiomics and CRISPR/Cas9 based knockout methods to screen 101 genes for effects on RGC regeneration. We identified 18 regulators of RGC regeneration seven knockouts inhibited and eleven promoted RGC regeneration. Surprisingly 35 of 36 known/implicated regulators of retinal tissue regeneration following widespread damage were not required for RGC regeneration and seven of these knockouts actually enhanced RGC replacement kinetics including sox2 olig2 and ascl1a. Mechanistic analyses revealed ascl1a knockout increased the propensity of progenitor cells to produce RGCs; i.e. biased progenitor cell fate.

Clustering steps were performed using steps from the pbmc Seurat tutorial available online. Briefly the top 2 000 variable genes were identified and used to identify principal components PCs of the data. The top 30 PCs were used to produce a UMAP and clusters were annotated with known zebrafish marker genes. Differentially expressed genes DEGs were identified using the FindAllMarkers function between each control and ablation timepoint in each retinal cell cluster minimum log2 foldchange cutoff of 0.25. scMultiomeseq: RNA expression data was processed as above.

Conversely genes controlling regeneration following limited retinal cell loss per degenerative disease are undefined. Studying regeneration in the context of selective cell loss is important as evidence suggests injury specifics inform the regenerative process. Here transgenic zebrafish enabling inducible selective retinal ganglion cell RGC ablation were combined with single cell multiomics and CRISPR/Cas9 based knockout methods to screen 101 genes for effects on RGC regeneration. We identified 18 regulators of RGC regeneration seven knockouts inhibited and eleven promoted RGC regeneration. Surprisingly 35 of 36 known/implicated regulators of retinal tissue regeneration following widespread damage were not required for RGC regeneration and seven of these knockouts actually enhanced RGC replacement kinetics including sox2 olig2 and ascl1a. Mechanistic analyses revealed ascl1a knockout increased the propensity of progenitor cells to produce RGCs; i.e. biased progenitor cell fate. These data demonstrate plasticity in how MG can convert to a stem like state and context specificity in how genes function during regeneration. Increased understanding of how disease relevant cell types can be selectively regenerated will support the development of disease tailored regenerative therapeutics. Overall design: We performed single cell RNA sequencing in larval zebrafish eyes following multiple paradigms of retinal damage including ablation of retinal ganglion cells RGCs 4 timepoints and ablation of rod photoreceptors and multiome sequencing following ablation of RGCs in fish with the ascl1a gene knocked out via CRISPR/Cas9.,,pubmed:39007397,,Multiome rgc:ntr 24h ablation ascl1a KO day 7 RNA,GSM8287448,,source name:Eye|tissue:Eye|transgenic line:rgc:ntr|treatment:mtz ascl1a gRNAs|geo loc name:missing|collection date:missing,Multiome rgc:ntr 24h ablation ascl1a KO day 7 RNA,scRNAseq: Raw reads were mapped to the Danio rerio GRCz10 using Cell Ranger v7.0 from 10x genomics.
