The simplified and genetically conserved zebrafish pronephros is an excellent
model to examine the cryptic processes of cell fate decisions during the
development of nephron segments as well as the origins of associated endocrine
cells that comprise the corpuscles of Stannius (CS). Using whole mount in situ
hybridization, we found that transcripts of the zebrafish genes t-box 2a (tbx2a)
and t-box 2b (tbx2b), which belong to the T-box family of transcription factors,
were expressed in the caudal intermediate mesoderm progenitors that give rise to
the distal pronephros and CS. Deficiency of tbx2a, tbx2b or both tbx2a/b reduced
the size of the distal late (DL) segment, which was accompanied by a proximal
convoluted segment (PCT) expansion. Further, tbx2a/b deficiency led to
significantly larger CS clusters. These phenotypes were also observed in embryos
with the from beyond (fby)(c144) mutation, which encodes a premature stop codon
in the tbx2b T-box sequence. Conversely, overexpression of tbx2a and tbx2b in
wild-type embryos expanded the DL segment where cells were comingled with the
adjacent DE, and also decreased CS cell number, but notably did not alter PCT
development-providing independent evidence that tbx2a and tbx2b are each
necessary and sufficient to promote DL fate and suppress CS genesis. Epistasis
studies indicated that tbx2a acts upstream of tbx2b to regulate the DL and CS
fates, and likely has other targets as well. Retinoic acid (RA) addition and
inhibition studies revealed that tbx2a and tbx2b are negatively regulated by RA
signaling. Interestingly, the CS cell expansion that typifies tbx2a/b deficiency
also occurred when blocking Notch signaling with the chemical DAPT
(N-[N-(3,5-difluorophenacetyl)-L-alanyl]-S-phenylglycine t-butyl ester). Ectopic
activation of Notch in Tg(hsp70::Gal4; UAS::NICD)(NICD) embryos led to a reduced
CS post heat-shock induction. To further examine the link between the tbx2a/b
genes and Notch during CS formation, DAPT treatment was used to block Notch
activity in tbx2a/b deficient embryos, and tbx2a/b knockdown was performed in
NICD transgenic embryos. Both manipulations caused similar CS expansions,
indicating that Notch functions upstream of the tbx2a/b genes to suppress CS
ontogeny. Taken together, these data reveal for the first time that tbx2a/b
mitigate pronephros segmentation downstream of RA, and that interplay between
Notch signaling and tbx2a/b regulate CS formation, thus providing several novel
insights into the genetic regulatory networks that influence these lineages.
