Modular, Cascade-like Transcriptional Program of Regeneration inStentor

Abstract: The giant ciliate Stentor coeruleus is a classical model system for studying regeneration and morphogenesis at the level of a single cell. The anterior of the cell is marked by an array of cilia, known as the oral apparatus, which can be induced to shed and regenerate in a series of reproducible morphological steps, previously shown to require transcription. If a cell is cut in half, each half will regenerate an intact cell, including a new oral apparatus in the posterior half. We used RNAseq to assay the dy… Show more

“…In Stentor, the cortical cilia generate a coherent flow over the whole body (Wan et al, 2020) which I hypothesize, based on the role of flow in PCP, might serve as a signal to help align the cortical rows during recovery after minceration or other disarrangements. It is interesting to note that Stentor regeneration is accompanied by expression of genes whose products are known to be involved in coupling ciliary orientation to planar cell polarity proteins in animals (Sood et al, 2021). Likewise, the Stentor cortex contains contractile fibers built of centrin-like EF hand proteins, and I hypothesize that mechanical tension generated by these fibers might play a role in transmitting long range spatial information to help enforce a common polarity among cortical units.…”

“…However, within the cell body samples, this protein was only detected in the anterior half and not the posterior half, consistent with it being associated with an anterior structure, possibly the MB itself. The possibility that SteCoe_22878 is a bona fide MB protein is further supported by the fact that this gene is upregulated during MB regeneration in sucrose-shocked cells (Sood 2021). In the soluble fraction of isolated MB (Table S3), one of the most highly enriched proteins (SteCoe_13619) is one of the GAS2-related proteins also detected in the MB specific protein list.…”

“…It is harder to reliably calculate an enrichment value for less abundant proteins, hence we applied a set of multiple criteria to add additional proteins to our MB protein list. As detailed in methods, we applied a joint criterion in which we required proteins to be enriched in the MB sample relative to intact cells, depleted in cell bodies from which the MB was removed, and encoded by genes that were upregulated during MB regeneration based on our previous RNAseq results (Sood 2021). This additional set contained 123 proteins.…”
