英文摘要
The Zebrafish Resource Core (Zf-Core) will be an integral component of the Washington University in St. Louis
School of Medicine Model Organism Screening Center (wuMOSC), a multi-model organism platform for
functional analysis of Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) variants. It will serve as a resource for gene
variant modeling, particularly in cases where analysis is not feasible in invertebrate model organisms, such as
D. melanogaster and/or C. elegans. We anticipate that our bioinformatic analyses will designate ~65 variants
per year to be analyzed in the zebrafish model.
We will leverage the relatively short generation time, high fecundity, and external development of
transparent zebrafish embryos to develop and implement a rapid, efficient, and disease variant-tailored
pipeline for evaluating the variant pathogenicity using CRISPR/Cas9 approaches and/or RNA overexpression.
The Zf-Core has improved on previous methods of fish husbandry by employing large-scale robotic feeding to
allow for rapid growth of animals. This effectively halves the typical zebrafish generation time and thus will
accelerate screening UDN variants proposed here. The PI laboratory also recently improved homologous
recombination-based genome editing methods in zebrafish using TALEN or CRISPR/Cas9 strategies.
For UDN gene-variants where the null allele manifests a phenotype prior to day 3 post fertilization, we will
assess the degree to which the mutant phenotype can be rescued by injection into one-celled zygotes of
synthetic RNA encoding the human protein variant, or zebrafish protein with this variant introduced. These
experiments provide a rapid assessment as to whether the variant has normal, reduced, elevated or otherwise
abnormal activity. If lines harboring nonsense or other deleterious mutations in the disease gene of interest
already exist they will be imported to our Zf-Core. Alternatively, we will generate small insertions/deletions
(indel) mutations using CRISPR/Cas9 strategy by designing a guide RNA that would also allow us to introduce
the disease variant into the endogenous locus.
In a second strategy, for genes with phenotypes detectable after day 3 post fertilization, the variant will be
knocked-into the zebrafish ortholog by CRISPR/Cas9 editing. The phenotype of the resulting loss of function
and knock-in mutants will be analyzed to verify any reported defects or to uncover them. Transparent embryos
and larvae will be evaluated at the level of overall morphology, formation of specific organs and tissues using
in vivo microscopy, and adults by microCT imaging to assess skeleton and soft tissues. Observation of a
phenotype with a variant knock-in suggests that the variant is deleterious to the model organism and provides
experimental evidence that it is a promising/likely disease-causing candidate. Lack of observable phenotype
would indicate the experimental test provides no evidence for pathogenicity. The Zf- Core will be a strong
component of the wuMOSC to inform the diagnosis of rare and poorly characterized diseases.
