Nasonia vitripennis'in çeşitli biyolojik sorular için model organizma olarak son zamanlarda artan kullanımı ile2,3,7,17, N. vitripennis genlerinin fonksiyonel analizi için basitleştirilmiş ve verimli bir protokol sağlamak için enjeksiyon yöntemlerinin geliştirilmesine ve optimize edilmesine ihtiyaç vardır. Gen düzenleme reaktiflerinin embriyonik mikroenjeksiyon?...

CRISPR / Cas9 gen düzenleme, özellikle mücevher yabanatı, Nasonia vitripennisgibi birçok yükselen model organizmada fonksiyonel genetik çalışmalar için güçlü bir teknolojidir. Yetiştirme kolaylığı ve tam bir genomun mevcudiyeti, mücevher yaban arısını farklı biyolojik süreçlerin moleküler mekanizmalarını aydınlatan önemli bir deneysel sistem haline getirir. Örneğin, N. vitripennis son zamanlarda haplodiploid cinsiyet belirleme sisteminin epigenetik temelini çözmek için kullanılmıştır1,2, B kromozomlarının biyolojisi3,4,5,6ve sirkadiyen ve mevsimsel düzenlemenin genetik temeli7,8. N. vitripennis'i çalışmaya elverişli kılan özelliklerden bazıları arasında kısa nesil süre (~2 hafta 25 °C), yüksek üreme oranları, pupal aşamasında kolay cinsiyet ayrımı ve suşları 4 °C'de diapause ve depolama yeteneği bulunur. Yaşam döngüsü, dişi eşekarısının blowfly, Lahit bullata'nınpupalarını parazitleştirmesiyle başlar. Ovipozitörleri aracılığıyla dişiler, üfleme üflemeli pupal durumunda 50'ye kadar yumurta bırakırlar. Yumurtalar S. bullata pupa ile beslenen larvalara dönüşür, önümüzdeki birkaç gün boyunca gelişmeye devam eder ve daha sonra yavrular, ardından yetişkin eklozyonu ve konak puparium9'danortaya çıkar.
RNA girişim (RNAi) 10 ve CRISPR/Cas9 11,12 gibi N. vitripennis'tefonksiyonel genetik çalışmalar yapmak için moleküler araçlar mevcuttur, ancak öncelikle embriyonik mikroenjections13'ün gerçekleştirilmesinde zorluklar nedeniyle sınırlıdır. N. vitripennis yumurtaları gelişim için bir pupal konak gerektirdiği için yumurta manipülasyonu çok zordur. Pre-blastoderm evre embriyoları konak üflemeli pupalardan toplanmalı, hızlı bir şekilde mikroenjeze edilmeli ve hemen geliştirme için ana bilgisayara geri aktarılmalıdır13. Bu adımlar, mikroenjected embriyolara veya pupal konaklarına zarar vermemek için hassas ve özel eğitim gerektirir13. Dahası, yumurtalar çok küçük ve kırılgandır, özellikle mikroenjections sonra, enjekte iğnesinin sürekli tıkanması neden olan çok viskoz bir sitoplazmaile 13. Bu özellikler embriyonik mikroenjections son derece zorlu hale getirir, yüksek eğitimli operatörler ve çoğu N. vitripennis laboratuvarlarında bulunmayan özel ekipman gerektirir.
CRISPR reaktiflerinin teslimi için alternatif enjeksiyon yöntemlerinin optimizasyonu, N. vitripennis'in bir model organizma olarak birleştirilmesine katkıda bulunacaktır. Pupaların ve yetişkinlerin manipülasyonu embriyoları manipüle etmekten daha az zordur ve temel bir enjeksiyon kurulumu ile gerçekleştirilebilir. Burada, pupa ve yetişkinlerin enjeksiyonu için iki protokol tanımlanmıştır: biri enjeksiyonlar için özel ekipman içeren, diğeri ise cam kılcal iğne ile donatılmış bir aspiratör tüp tertibatının kullanımını içeren. Aspiratör tüpünün kullanımı özellikle embriyo mikroenjections için özel ekipmana erişimi olmayan laboratuvarlar için uygundur. Beyaz veya siyah pupalar ve yetişkin eşekarısı da dahil olmak üzere N. vitripennis'infarklı gelişim aşamalarının verimli enjeksiyonları gösterilmiştir. Beyaz pupal aşamasındaki eşekarısı özellikle RNAi aracılı nakavt deneyleri için uygundur. Nasonia'daki RNAi ilk olarak Lynch ve Desplan tarafından 200610'datanımlanmış olmasına rağmen, RNAi enjeksiyonlarının nasıl yapıldığına dair görsel bir prosedür yoktur. RNAi son zamanlarda B kromozomu PSR (Paternal Sex Ratio)3'ün haploidizer genini keşfetmek ve saat geninin tutulumunun incelenmesi için kullanıldı, nokta, N. vitripennis biyolojik ritimlerinde7.
Siyah pupa ve yetişkin eşekarısı, ReMOT Kontrolü (Reseptör Aracılı Kargo Transdüksiyonu) ve BAPC (Dallı Amfifilik Peptit Kapsülleri) protokollerini kullanarak CRISPR/Cas9 germline gen düzenlemesini teşvik etmek için kullanılabilir. Bu iki yumurtalık doğum yönteminin son zamanlarda Nasonia'da hedef gende germline mutasyonları üretmek için etkili olduğu tanımlanmıştır, cinnabar7,12. Burada, nasonia'da ve muhtemelen diğer parazitoid eşekarısılarda fonksiyonel genetik çalışmalar üretmek için kullanılabilecek hem pupal hem de yetişkin enjeksiyonları için, özel ekipman gerektirmeden ve embriyonik mikroenjeksiyonları atlayarak adım adım bir metodolojinin görsel prosedürünü içeren enjeksiyonlar için basitleştirilmiş bir protokol sağlanmıştır.

pupal and adult injections for rnai and crispr gene editing in nasonia vitripennis

Mücevher eşekarısı, Nasonia vitripennis, haplo-diploid cinsiyet tayini, B kromozomu biyolojisi, konak-symbiont etkileşimleri, speciation ve zehir sentezinin epigenetiklerini incelemek için verimli bir model sistemi haline gelmiştir. CRISPR/Cas9 da dahil olmak üzere çeşitli moleküler araçların mevcudiyetine rağmen, fonksiyonel genetik çalışmalar bu organizmada hala sınırlıdır. CRISPR/Cas9 teknolojisinin N. vitripennis'te uygulanmasının başlıca sınırlaması embriyonik mikroenjeksiyonların zorluklarından kaynaklanmaktadır. Embriyo enjeksiyonları, küçük embriyo büyüklüğü ve embriyonik gelişim için konak pupa gereksinimi nedeniyle, bu organizmada ve genel olarak birçok parazitoid eşekarısında özellikle zordur. Bu zorlukları ele almak için Cas9 ribonikleoprotein, embriyonik mikroenjeksiyon yerine yetişkin enjeksiyonu ile kadın yumurtalıklarına karmaşık doğum optimize edildi ve bu da hem somatik hem de kalıtsal germline düzenlemelerine neden oldu. Enjeksiyon prosedürleri, ReMOT Kontrolü (Reseptör Aracılı Yük Transdüksiyonu) veya BAPC (Dallı Amfifilik Peptit Kapsülleri) kullanılarak pupa ve dişi eşekarısında optimize edildi. Bu yöntemlerin embriyo enjeksiyonuna etkili alternatifler olduğu, bölgeye özgü ve kalıtsal germline mutasyonlarına olanak sağladığı gösterilmiştir.

Bu makale, bir femtojet veya aspiratör tüpü kullanarak pupal ve yetişkin mikroenjeksiyon için iki kolay yöntem sönmektedir. İlk yöntem, RNAi tutarlılığı için önemli olan daha hassas bir sıvı enjeksiyonuna izin verirken, ikincisi Nasonia pupalarına veya yetişkinlere daha büyük miktarlarda sıvı enjeksiyonuna izin verir.

Localized RNAi and Ectopic Gene Expression in the Medicinal Leech

In this video, we show the use of a pneumatic capillary gun for the accurate biolistic delivery of reagents into live tissue. We use the procedure to perturb gene expression patterns in selected segments of leech embryos, leaving the untreated segments as internal controls.
The pneumatic capillary gun can be used to reach internal layers of cells at early stages of development without opening the specimen. As a method for localized introduction of substances into living tissues, the biolistic delivery with the gun has several advantages: it is fast, contact-free and non-destructive. In addition, a single capillary gun can be used for independent delivery of different substances. The delivery region can have lateral dimensions of ~50-150 &#181;m and extends over ~15 &#181;m around the mean penetration depth, which is adjustable between 0 and 50 &#181;m. This delivery has the advantage of being able to target a limited number of cells in a selected location intermediate between single cell knock down by microinjection and systemic knockdown through extracellular injections or by means of genetic approaches.
For knocking down or knocking in the expression of the axon guidance molecule Netrin, which is naturally expressed by some central neurons and in the ventral body wall, but not the dorsal domain, we deliver molecules of dsRNA or plasmid-DNA into the body wall and central ganglia. This procedure includes the following steps: (i) preparation of the experimental setup for a specific assay (adjusting the accelerating pressure), (ii) coating the particles with molecules of dsRNA or DNA, (iii) loading the coated particles into the gun, up to two reagents in one assay, (iv) preparing the animals for the particle delivery, (v) delivery of coated particles into the target tissue (body wall or ganglia), and (vi) processing the embryos (immunostaining, immunohistochemistry and neuronal labeling) to visualize the results, usually 2 to 3 days after the delivery.
When the particles were coated with netrin dsRNA, they caused clearly visible knock-down of netrin expression that only occurred in cells containing particles (usually, 1-2 particles per cell). Particles coated with a plasmid encoding EGFP induced fluorescence in neuronal cells when they stopped in their nuclei.

In this video, we show a procedure for an accurate biolistic delivery of reagents into live tissue with a novel miniature gene gun. We are knocking down the expression of the axon guidance molecule Netrin in leech embryos by delivering molecules of dsRNA into the ventral body wall and ganglia of single segments.

Paraffin-Embedded and Frozen Sections of Drosophila Adult Muscles

The molecular characterization of muscular dystrophies and myopathies in humans has revealed the complexity of muscle disease and genetic analysis of muscle specification, formation and function in model systems has provided valuable insight into muscle physiology. Therefore, identifying and characterizing molecular mechanisms that underlie muscle damage is critical. The structure of adult Drosophila multi-fiber muscles resemble vertebrate striated muscles 1 and the genetic tractability of Drosophila has made it a great system to analyze dystrophic muscle morphology and characterize the processes affecting muscular function in ageing adult flies 2. Here we present the histological technique for preparing paraffin-embedded and frozen sections of Drosophila thoracic muscles. These preparations allow for the tissue to be stained with classical histological stains and labeled with protein detecting dyes, and specifically cryosections are ideal for immunohistochemical detection of proteins in intact muscles. This allows for analysis of muscle tissue structure, identification of morphological defects, and detection of the expression pattern for muscle/neuron-specific proteins in Drosophila adult muscles. These techniques can also be slightly modified for sectioning of other body parts.

RNAi Mediated Gene Knockdown and Transgenesis by Microinjection in the Necromenic Nematode Pristionchus pacificus

Although it is increasingly affordable for emerging model organisms to obtain completely sequenced genomes, further in-depth gene function and expression analyses by RNA interference and stable transgenesis remain limited in many species due to the particular anatomy and molecular cellular biology of the organism. For example, outside of the crown group Caenorhabditis that includes Caenorhabditis elegans3, stably transmitted transgenic lines in non-Caenorhabditis species have not been reported in this specious phylum (Nematoda), with the exception of Strongyloides stercoralis4 and Pristionchus pacificus5. To facilitate the expanding role of P. pacificus in the study of development, evolution, and behavior6-7, we describe here the current methods to use microinjection for making transgenic animals and gene knock down by RNAi. Like the gonads of C. elegans and most other nematodes, the gonads of P. pacificus is syncitial and capable of incorporating DNA and RNA into the oocytes when delivered by direct microinjection. Unlike C. elegans however, stable transgene inheritance and somatic expression in P. pacificus requires the addition of self genomic DNA digested with endonucleases complementary to the ends of target transgenes and coinjection markers5. The addition of carrier genomic DNA is similar to the requirement for transgene expression in Strongyloides stercoralis4 and in the germ cells of C. elegans. However, it is not clear if the specific requirement for the animals' own genomic DNA is because P. pacificus soma is very efficient at silencing non-complex multi-copy genes or that extrachromosomal arrays in P. pacificus require genomic sequences for proper kinetochore assembly during mitosis. The ventral migration of the two-armed (didelphic) gonads in hermaphrodites further complicates the ability to inject both gonads in individual worms8. We also demonstrate the use of microinjection to knockdown a dominant mutant (roller,tu92) by injecting double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) into the gonads to obtain non-rolling F1 progeny. Unlike C. elegans, but like most other nematodes, P. pacificus PS312 is not receptive to systemic RNAi via feeding and soaking and therefore dsRNA must be administered by microinjection into the syncitial gonads. In this current study, we hope to describe the microinjection process needed to transform a Ppa-egl-4 promoter::GFP fusion reporter and knockdown a dominant roller prl-1 (tu92) mutant in a visually informative protocol.

RNAi Mediated Gene Knockdown and Transgenesis by Microinjection in the Necromenic Nematode Pristionchus pacificus

In model organisms, transgenesis can manipulate gene functions while RNAi can knockdown specific mRNA transcripts 1-2. This protocol aims to illustrate the techniques needed to introduce stably transmitted DNA and transient double stranded RNA into the necromenic nematode Pristionchus pacificus for studies in evolutionary, developmental, and behavioral biology.

RNAi-mediated Gene Knockdown and In Vivo Diuresis Assay in Adult Female Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes

This video protocol demonstrates an effective technique to knockdown a particular gene in an insect and conduct a novel bioassay to measure excretion rate. This method can be used to obtain a better understanding of the process of diuresis in insects and is especially useful in the study of diuresis in blood-feeding arthropods that are able to take up huge amounts of liquid in a single blood meal. 
This RNAi-mediated gene knockdown combined with an in vivo diuresis assay was developed by the Hansen lab to study the effects of RNAi-mediated knockdown of aquaporin genes on Aedes aegypti mosquito diuresis1. 
The protocol is setup in two parts: the first demonstration illustrates how to construct a simple mosquito injection device and how to prepare and inject dsRNA into the thorax of mosquitoes for RNAi-mediated gene knockdown. The second demonstration illustrates how to determine excretion rates in mosquitoes using an in vivo bioassay.

In Vivo SiRNA Transfection and Gene Knockdown in Spinal Cord via Rapid Noninvasive Lumbar Intrathecal Injections in Mice

This report describes a step-by-step guide to the technique of acute intrathecal needle injections in a noninvasive manner, i.e. independent of catheter implantation. The technical limitation of this surgical technique lies in the finesse of the hands. The injection is rapid, especially for a trained experimenter, and since tissue disruption with this technique is minimal, repeated injections are possible; moreover immune reaction to foreign tools (e.g. catheter) does not occur, thereby giving a better and more specific read out of spinal cord modulation. Since the application of the substance is largely limited to the target region of the spinal cord, drugs do not need to be applied in large dosages, and more importantly unwanted effects on other tissue, as observed with a systemic delivery, could be circumvented1,2. Moreover, we combine this technique with in vivo transfection of nucleic acid with the help of polyethylenimine (PEI) reagent3, which provides tremendous versatility for studying spinal functions via delivery of pharmacological agents as well as gene, RNA, and protein modulators.

Intravenous Injections in Neonatal Mice

Intravenous injection is a clinically applicable manner to deliver therapeutics. For adult rodents and larger animals, intravenous injections are technically feasible and routine. However, some mouse models can have early onset of disease with a rapid progression that makes administration of potential therapies difficult. The temporal (or facial) vein is just anterior to the ear bud in mice and is clearly visible for the first two days after birth on either side of the head using a dissecting microscope. During this window, the temporal vein can be injected with volumes up to 50 &#956;l. The injection is safe and well tolerated by both the pups and the dams. A typical injection procedure is completed within 1-2 min, after which the pup is returned to the home cage. By the third postnatal day the vein is difficult to visualize and the injection procedure becomes technically unreliable. This technique has been used for delivery of adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors, which in turn can provide almost body-wide, stable transgene expression for the life of the animal depending on the viral serotype chosen.

Animal models of pediatric disease can experience early onset and aggressive disease progression. Clinically relevant therapy delivery to young mouse models can be technically difficult. This protocol describes a non-invasive intravenous injection method for newborn mice within the first two postnatal days of life.

Silencing the Spark: CRISPR/Cas9 Genome Editing in Weakly Electric Fish

Electroreception and electrogenesis have changed in the evolutionary history of vertebrates. There is a striking degree of convergence in these independently derived phenotypes, which share a common genetic architecture. This is perhaps best exemplified by the numerous convergent features of gymnotiforms and mormyrids, two species-rich teleost clades that produce and detect weak electric fields and are called weakly electric fish. In the 50 years since the discovery that weakly electric fish use electricity to sense their surroundings and communicate, a growing community of scientists has gained tremendous insights into evolution of development, systems and circuits neuroscience, cellular physiology, ecology, evolutionary biology, and behavior. More recently, there has been a proliferation of genomic resources for electric fish. Use of these resources has already facilitated important insights with regards to the connection between genotype and phenotype in these species. A major obstacle to integrating genomics data with phenotypic data of weakly electric fish is a present lack of functional genomics tools. We report here a full protocol for performing CRISPR/Cas9 mutagenesis that utilizes endogenous DNA repair mechanisms in weakly electric fish. We demonstrate that this protocol is equally effective in both the mormyrid species Brienomyrus brachyistius and the gymnotiform Brachyhypopomus gauderio by using CRISPR/Cas9 to target indels and point mutations in the first exon of the sodium channel gene scn4aa. Using this protocol, embryos from both species were obtained and genotyped to confirm that the predicted mutations in the first exon of the sodium channel scn4aa were present. The knock-out success phenotype was confirmed with recordings showing reduced electric organ discharge amplitudes when compared to uninjected size-matched controls.

Here, a protocol is presented to produce and rear CRISPR/Cas9 genome knockout electric fish. Outlined in detail are the required molecular biology, breeding, and husbandry requirements for both a gymnotiform and a mormyrid, and injection techniques to produce Cas9-induced indel F0 larvae.

Nuclei Isolation from Adult Mouse Kidney for Single-Nucleus RNA-Sequencing

The kidneys regulate diverse biological processes such as water, electrolyte, and acid-base homeostasis. Physiological functions of the kidney are executed by multiple cell types arranged in a complex architecture across the corticomedullary axis of the organ. Recent advances in single-cell transcriptomics have accelerated the understanding of cell type-specific gene expression in renal physiology and disease. However, enzyme-based tissue dissociation protocols, which are frequently utilized for single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq), require mostly fresh (non-archived) tissue, introduce transcriptional stress responses, and favor the selection of abundant cell types of the kidney cortex resulting in an underrepresentation of cells of the medulla.
Here, we present a protocol that avoids these problems. The protocol is based on nuclei isolation at 4 &#176;C from frozen kidney tissue. Nuclei are isolated from a central piece of the mouse kidney comprised of the cortex, outer medulla, and inner medulla. This reduces the overrepresentation of cortical cells typical for whole-kidney samples for the benefit of medullary cells such that data will represent the entire corticomedullary axis at sufficient abundance. The protocol is simple, rapid, and adaptable and provides a step towards the standardization of single-nuclei transcriptomics in kidney research.

Here, we present a protocol to isolate high-quality nuclei from frozen mouse kidneys that improve the representation of medullary kidney cell types and avoids the gene expression artifacts from enzymatic tissue dissociation.

Effective Oral RNA Interference (RNAi) Administration to Adult Anopheles gambiae Mosquitoes

RNA interference has been a heavily utilized tool for reverse genetic analysis for two decades. In adult mosquitoes, double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) administration has been accomplished primarily via injection, which requires significant time and is not suitable for field applications. To overcome these limitations, here we present a more efficient method for robust activation of RNAi by oral delivery of dsRNA to adult Anopheles gambiae. Long dsRNAs were produced in Escherichia coli strain HT115 (DE3), and a concentrated suspension of heat-killed dsRNA-containing bacteria in 10% sucrose was offered on cotton balls ad-libitum to adult mosquitoes. Cotton balls were replaced every 2 days for the duration of the treatment. Use of this method to target doublesex (a gene involved in sex differentiation) or fork head (which encodes a salivary gland transcription factor) resulted in reduced target gene expression and/or protein immunofluorescence signal, as measured by quantitative Real-Time PCR (qRT-PCR) or fluorescence confocal microscopy, respectively. Defects in salivary gland morphology were also observed. This highly flexible, user-friendly, low-cost, time-efficient method of dsRNA delivery could be broadly applicable to target genes important for insect vector physiology and beyond.

Effective Oral RNA Interference RNAi Administration to Adult Anopheles gambiae Mosquitoes

The oral administration of dsRNA produced by bacteria, a delivery method for RNA interference (RNAi) that is routinely used in Caenorhabditis elegans, was successfully applied here to adult mosquitoes. Our method allows for robust reverse genetics studies and transmission-blocking vector studies without the use of injection.
