英文摘要
PROJECT SUMMARY:
Organs and other complex tissues “know” when and how to stop growing to arrive at the correct size and
shape. Disruption of organ size control mechanisms can lead to congenital abnormalities, poor organ
homeostasis and tissue repair, and tumors. Adult zebrafish caudal fins, including their complex skeleton and
other tissues, perfectly regenerate to their original size and shape regardless of the nature or position of the
injury. Therefore, zebrafish fin regeneration provides a compelling and genetically tractable vertebrate model
to interrogate organ size control mechanisms. Prevailing models for robust fin size regeneration speculate that
fin cells maintain a multitude of “positional identities” that somehow instruct different degrees of outgrowth.
We propose a distinct and straightforward model that neatly explains how fin size and shape is restored without
invoking molecularly encoded positional information. A key cell population at the distal end of the
regenerating fin that we term the “niche” produces Wnt signals that promote fin outgrowth by sustaining
progenitor cells. We identify Dachsund transcription factors as novel niche markers and show that the niche
uniquely forms from intra-‐‑ray mesenchyme that populates the inside of the cylindrical, differentially sized,
and progressively tapered fin rays. We show that the niche, and therefore Wnt, steadily dissipates as
regeneration unfolds; once exhausted, growth stops. As such, regenerated fin size is dictated by the amount of
niche formed upon damage – which is simply dependent on the availability of intra-‐‑ray mesenchyme and
hence bone width at the damage site. This “transpositional scaling” model suggests that macro-‐‑scale fin size
and shape is determined by mesenchyme-‐‑niche state transitions and self-‐‑restoring bone geometry rather than
unique positional identities of individual cells. We will explore this paradigm and uncover underlying cell and
molecular mechanisms for size control during fin regeneration by three Specific Aims: 1. Define intra-‐‑ray
mesenchyme / distal niche lineage cell states, transitions, and fates, 2. Determine signaling and transcriptional
mechanisms maintaining niche state and function, and 3. Determine niche “countdown timer” mechanisms
using longfint2 zebrafish – which we show have a broken timer due to misexpression of the kcnh2a ion channel.
This insight suggests ion channels and Ca2+ signaling govern niche cell self-‐‑renewal. Our program will support
a potentially broadly applicable “transpositional scaling” concept with exemplary mechanisms for how organ
size and shape are determined by dynamic populations of tissue-‐‑resident niche cells. Our study will have
additional human health impacts since 1) understanding bone regeneration in zebrafish may inform
regenerative medicine approaches for human bone disease, and 2) kcnh2a is the zebrafish orthologue of kcnh2,
which is commonly mutated in long QT syndrome and encodes a protein that is a notorious therapeutic “off-‐‑
target”. Our paradigmatic and diverse technological innovations will open up new directions and inspire other
scientists, broadening our project’s impact on both fundamental research and regenerative medicine.
