Title |
Sox8 reprograms ectoderm into ear vesicles and associated neurons [Lmx1aE1_rnaseq] |
Organism |
Gallus gallus |
Experiment type |
Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing
|
Summary |
The vertebrate inner ear arises from a pool of progenitors with the potential to give rise to all the sense organs and cranial ganglia of the head1-6. Here we explore the molecular mechanisms that control ear specification from these progenitors. Using a multi-omics approach combined with loss-of-function experiments we identify a core transcriptional circuit that imparts ear identity, along with non-coding elements that integrate this information. This analysis places the transcription factor Sox8 at the top of the ear determination network. Introducing Sox8 into cranial ectoderm not only converts non-ear cells into ear progenitors, but also activates the cellular programmes for ear morphogenesis and neurogenesis. Thus, Sox8 emerges as a master regulator of ear identity and may be a key factor for sense organ cell reprogramming.

Overall design |
Chick embryos were electroporated at ss3-6 with either Lmx1aE1- or Sox3U3-EGFP reporter constructs. Embryos were collected at somite stage (ss) 18-21 and processed for cell dissociation. For each sample, 2000 EGFP+ cells were collected by FACS and RNA libraries generated and send for PE 75bp sequencing with HiSeq4000.
