Increased activation of FGF signaling in mindbomb mutants correlates with defects in migration and specification of parapineal cells.
(A–D) Confocal sections showing the expression of the Tg(dusp6:d2EGFP) transgene (Green, (A–B’) or sox1a (red, (C–D) in the epithalamia of 32 hpf in control (A, A’, n = 36 and C, n = 30) and in mib-/- mutant embryos (B, B’, n = 34 and D, n = 21). Confocal sections are merged with a nuclear staining (gray, A’, B’, C, D) that makes the epiphysis (white circle) and parapineal (yellow circle) visible. Embryo view is dorsal, anterior is up; scale bar = 10 µm. (E–G) Dot plots showing the number (E–G) of Tg(dusp6:d2EGFP) (E), Topro-3 (F) and sox1a (G) positive parapineal cells in control (blue dots) or mib-/- mutant embryos (orange dots) at 32 hpf, with mean ± SEM. Tg(dusp6:d2EGFP) FGF reporter is expressed in more parapineal cells in mib-/- than controls (E; 7 ± 3 d2EGFP + cells in mib-/- mutant compared 4 ± 2 in siblings; p-value=3.845e-05, Welch t-test) while the expression of sox1a is similar in both contexts (G); the average number of parapineal cells counted with a nuclear marker increases slightly (F; 22 ± 7 in mib-/- mutants versus 19 ± 5 in sibling control embryos; p-value=0.037, Welch t-test). (H–I’’) Confocal sections showing the expression of gfi1ab (red) at 48 hpf in control embryos (H; n = 40) and in three examples of mib-/- mutant embryos (I-I’’; n = 35). (J–K) Confocal sections showing the expression of tbx2b (red) at 48 hpf in control embryos (J; n = 39) and in one example of mib-/- mutants embryo with the parapineal on the right (K; n = 36). (L–N) Dot plots showing the mean position of parapineal cells expressing sox1a at 32 hpf (L) sox1a at 48 hpf (M) or gfi1ab (N) (in µm distance to the brain midline (x = 0)) with each dot representing an embryo. Parapineal migration is usually delayed in mib-/- mutants at 32 hpf (L). At 48 hpf, the parapineal of mib-/- mutant embryos either did not migrate (n = 12/35 with a parapineal mean position between −15 µM and +15 µM (shaded zone) relative to brain midline (Reference 0)) or migrates either to the left (n = 17/35) or to the right (n = 6/35) (N, orange dots), while it usually migrated to the left in control embryos (N, n = 39/40, blue dots); p-value<0.0001, Welch t-test on absolute values. (O–Q) Number of parapineal cells expressing sox1a (O), gfi1ab (P) and tbx2b (Q) at 48 hpf in control (blue dots) or in mib-/- mutant embryos (orange dots). The number of sox1a and gfi1ab+ positive parapineal cells at 48 hpf is increased in mib-/- mutant embryos (p-value<0.0001 in Welch t-test) compared with controls (O, P) while the number of tbx2b expressing cells is unchanged (Q). Mean ± SEM are indicated as long and short bars. *** p-value<0.0001; * p-value<0.05 in Welch t-test. Data are representative of three experiments (H–I’’, N, P) or two independent experiments (A–G, J–M, O, Q).

Both the migration (distance from the midline; p-value=0.0001 in Welch t-test on absolute value) and laterality (left orientation of migration; p-value=0.0002 on Wilcoxon test) are affected in rbpja/b morphants (E). The number of gfi1ab+ cells is also increased in rbpja/b morphants (F, *** p-value<0.0001; Welch t-test). Data are representative of three (A–B’, E–F) or two experiments (C–D).

Embryo view is dorsal, anterior is up; epiphysis (white circle) and parapineal (yellow circle); scale bar = 10 µm. (C–D) Dot plots showing the number (C) and the mean position (D) of gfi1ab expressing parapineal (PP) cells at 48 hpf in embryos treated with DMSO (controls, blue dots, n = 47), with 30 µM LY411575 (light red dots, n = 31) or 100 µM LY411575 (red dots, n = 32) from 22 hpf to 32 hpf, with mean ± SEM; *** p-value=0.0003. (E–H) Confocal sections showing the expression of gfi1ab (red) merged with nuclear staining (gray) at 48 hpf, in wild-type (+/+) (E, F) or mib+/- embryos (G, H) treated with DMSO (E, n = 23 or G, n = 26) or with LY411575 (F, n = 25 and H, n = 34) from 22 to 32 hpf. (I–N) Upper panels show a schematic of the LY411575 treatment timeline (yellow box, 22 to 32 hpf for I-K or 8 to 22 hfp for dot plots L-N), and the time window corresponding to when the parapineal initiates its migration (blue box, 28 to 30 hpf). Dot plots showing the number (I, L) and the mean position (J, M) of gfi1ab expressing cells at 48 hpf, or the number of Tg(dusp6:d2EGFP) expressing cells at 32 hpf (K, N), in the parapineal of DMSO-treated wild-type (+/+, light blue dots; I-J, n = 23; L-M, n = 12; K, n = 28; N, n = 18), DMSO-treated mib+/- heterozygote (dark blue dots; I-J, ± = 26; L-M, n = 17; K, n = 21; N, n = 21), LY411575-treated wild-type ( light red dots; I-J, n = 25; L-M, n = 11; K, n = 23, N, n = 19) and LY411575-treated mib+/- (dark red dots, I-J, n = 34 or L-M, n = 16; K, n = 29, N, n = 26); each dot represents a single embryo. Mean ± SEM is shown in I, K, L, N; *** p-value<0.0001, in Wilcoxon test and Welch t-test. In J and M, there is no defect in migration per se (ns p-value in Welch t-test on absolute value) but LY411575 treatment from 8 to 22 hpf (M) triggers a laterality defect (increased number of embryos with a parapineal on the right). Data are representative of three (E–H, I–K) or two experiments (A–D and L–N). See also Figure 2—figure supplement 1, Figure 2—figure supplement 2 and Figure 2—figure supplement 3.

Decreasing or increasing FGF signaling rescues or aggravates the parapineal migration defect in Notch loss-of-function.
(A–D) Confocal sections showing the expression of gfi1ab (red) merged with nuclei staining (gray) at 48 hpf in representative control sibling (A–B) or mib-/- mutant embryos (C–D) treated from 24 to 32 hpf with DMSO (A, C) or 5 µM SU5402 (B, D). Parapineal migration is not affected in controls embryos treated with 5 µM of SU5402 (A–B); in C-D, examples show a parapineal that failed to migrate in a DMSO treated mib-/- mutant embryos (C) or that migrated to the left in a SU5402 treated mib-/- mutant embryos (D). Embryo view is dorsal, anterior is up; epiphysis (white circle) and parapineal (yellow circle); scale bar = 10 µm. (E–F) Upper panel show a schematic of the SU5402 (or DMSO) treatment timeline (24–32 hpf) in control and mib-/- mutant embryos. Dot plots showing the number (E) and the mean position (F) of gfi1ab expressing parapineal (PP) cells at 48 hpf in control embryos treated with DMSO (light blue dots; n = 32) or with 5 µM SU5402 (dark blue dots, n = 31), and in mib-/- mutant embryos treated with DMSO (orange dots, n = 31) or with SU5402 (yellow dots, n = 41). The number of gfi1ab-positive cells is increased in mib-/- mutants embryos, regardless of whether they were treated with SU5402 or DMSO (DMSO control versus DMSO mib-/-, ** p-value=0.0042; SU5402 control versus SU5402 mib-/-, ** p-value=0.0086, Welch t-test). The parapineal fails to migrate in 52% of DMSO treated mib-/- mutant embryos (PP mean position between −15 µm to +15 µm, gray-shaded area), and this proportion decreases to 19% of SU5402 treated mib-/- mutant embryos; p-value=0.0139 on a Chi-square test and p=0.0103 on a Welch t-test on absolute value. (G) Upper panel shows a schematic of the SU5402 (or DMSO) treatment timeline (24–32 hpf) in control and mib-/- mutant embryos. Dot plot showing the number of Tg(dusp6:d2EGFP) expressing parapineal cells at 32 hpf in control embryos treated with DMSO (light blue; n = 20) or with 5 µM SU5402 (dark blue, n = 18), and in mib-/- mutant embryos treated with DMSO (orange, n = 17) or with SU5402 (yellow, n = 21). The number of Tg(dusp6:d2EGFP)+ cells is increased in DMSO treated mib-/- mutants versus controls (p-value=0.0077) but is decreased in SU5402 treated mib-/- mutants compared to DMSO treated mib-/- mutants (p-value=0.0248 in Welch’s t-test). (H–I) Upper panel in H shows a schematic of heat shock timeline in Tg(hsp70:ca-fgfr1) embryos injected with rbpja/b morpholinos (MO). Dot plots showing the number (H) and the mean position (I) of gfi1ab expressing parapineal cells in control embryos that carry (purple dots; n = 55) or do not carry the Tg(hsp70:ca-fgfr1) transgene (light blue dots; n = 54), or in rbpja/bMO injected embryos that carry (dark red dots; n = 73) or do not carry the Tg(hsp70:ca-fgfr1) transgene (orange dots; n = 67). In rbpja/b morphants expressing Tg(hsp70:ca-fgfr1), the parapineal failed to migrate in 25% of embryos (n = 18/73; p-value=0.0007 Welch’s t-test on absolute value and p-value=0.0232 in Chi-square test), a defect significantly higher than expected from merely adding the effects of activated receptor transgene and rbpja/b MO injections alone (p-value=0.0001 in Welch t-test on absolute value and p-value=0.0003 in Chi-square test). Data are representative of four (H–I), three (A–F) or two experiments (G). Source files used to generate dot plots and for statistical analysis are available in Figure 4—source data 1.

Embryo view is dorsal, anterior is up; epiphysis (white circle), parapineal gland (yellow circle); scale bar=10 µm. Data representative of 2 experiments.
