Quantification of gene expression patterns to reveal the origins of abnormal morphogenesis

Abstract: 16The earliest developmental origins of dysmorphologies are poorly understood in many congenital 17 diseases. They often remain elusive because the first signs of genetic misregulation may initiate as 18 subtle changes in gene expression, which can be obscured later in development due to secondary 19 phenotypic effects. We here develop a method to trace back the origins of phenotypic abnormalities by 20 accurately quantifying the 3D spatial distribution of gene expression domains in developing organs. By 21 ap… Show more

“…However, since μCT measures X-ray transmissivity and cannot distinguish colors, it can provide fine structural data, but not suitable gene expression pattern data. Opticalbased 3D imaging systems, such as light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) and optical projection tomography (OPT), enable the creation of 3D reconstructed images of specific gene expression patterns and 2D optical cutting planar images (Keller, 2013;Martínez-Abadías et al, 2018). Both LSFM and OPT are useful for obtaining 3D gene expression data; however, 2D planar images from these methods are virtual sections and cannot be re-used for various labeling methods, as can be done using the CoMBI method.…”

“…Connecting these mechanisms to 3D change in organismal form requires quantification of cellular processes in whole embryonic structures over developmental time. While three dimensional morphology can be quantified from microCT and optical projection tomography images (Parsons et al, 2008;Boughner et al, 2008;Xu et al, 2015;Martínez-Abadías et al, 2018), cellular dynamics are much less accessible in three dimensions. This is because the vast majority of quantification of cellular dynamics is based on analysis of serial histological sections, with localized sampling rather than whole embryonic structures (Ramaesh and Bard, 2003;Miklius and Hilgenfeldt, 2011;Russ and Dehoff, 2012).…”
