ARF, not normally present in highly regenerative vertebrates, is specifically activated in blastemas of ARF transgenic zebrafish.

(A) Comparison of amino acid sequences of proteins produced by the Cdkn2a/b loci of zebrafish (Danio rerio), amphibians including the axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) and western clawed frog (Xenopus tropicalis), chickens (Gallus gallus), and mammals including the mouse (Mus musculus) and human (Homo sapiens). While Cdkn2a and Cdkn2b are conserved and encode Ink4 orthologs, Arf evolved recently and orthologs do not exist in highly regenerative vertebrates including teleost fish and urodele amphibians. (B) Schematic of transgene expressing cytoplasmic Green fluorescent protein (GFP) under the control of the human ARF promoter (top). The promoter consists of human regulatory sequences 736 bp upstream of the transcriptional start site (TSS) of ARF. Immunostaining (wide-field images) for GFP at 24 hpf, 48 hpf, and 72 hpf in wild type (WT) and ARF:GFP embryos (bottom). Scale bars: 200 μm. GFP expression is visible in the hearts of transgenic fish due to presence of a separate transgene used for selection (cmlc2:GFP). (C) Whole-mount in situ hybridization for GFP at 24 hpf, 48 hpf, and 72 hpf in WT and ARF:GFP embryos. Scale bars: 100 μm. Alkaline phosphatase staining is detected in the hearts of transgenic fish (arrow heads) because of the selection transgene as in (B). (D) Confocal images of coronal vibratome sections immunostained for GFP, Msxb, and Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) at 2 dpa in WT and ARF:GFP fins. Scale bars: 50 μm. GFP expression is induced in the proliferative blastema of the regenerate, but it is not expressed in the surrounding epithelium. White dashed lines represent amputation planes. (E) GFP intensity (green line) in the regenerates of ARF:GFP transgenic fish relative to WT fish after amputation. The black line represents the percentage of EdU + cells in the regenerates of WT fish after amputation (N=3; secondary axis). Figure supplement 1 shows in vitro ARF promoter assays. Figure supplement 2 shows additional images for panels B, D, and E. Figure supplement 3 shows wound healing in WT and ARF:GFP fins. Results are shown as mean ± standard deviation. hpa: Hours post amputation.

Figure 1—figure supplement 1
In vitro analysis of ARF promoter constructs in zebrafish and human cells.

Representative luciferase reporter data of three replicates: relative luminescence generated by ARF promoter-firefly luciferase reporter constructs transfected into zebrafish (ZKS, ZF4) and human (HeLa) cells. Two ARF promoter-reporter constructs were tested; one contained sequences up to 3.4 kb upstream of the TSS of ARF (3.4 kb), while the other contained sequences up to 736 bp upstream of the TSS of ARF (736 bp). Relative luminescence was measured by normalizing firefly luciferase values to those detected from a Renilla luciferase construct used as a transfection efficiency control. The relative luminescence values were then normalized to those of the negative control construct, pcDNA. Any values above 2 (black dashed line) are significant (N = 3; pcDNA = 1; p<0.05). Results are shown as mean ± standard deviation. ZKS: Zebrafish kidney stromal.

GFP reporter activity in WT or ARF:GFP zebrafish at multiple developmental and regenerative time points.

(A) Immunostaining (sagittal confocal images) for GFP at 24 hpf, 48 hpf, and 72 hpf in WT and ARF:GFP embryos. Scale bars: 200 μm. GFP expression is restricted to the hearts of transgenic fish due to presence of a separate transgene used for selection (cmlc2:GFP). (B) Confocal images from Figure 1 of coronal vibratome sections immunostained for GFP, Msxb, and PCNA at 2 dpa in WT and ARF:GFP fins. Scale bars: 50 μm. Included to the right of the figure are insets showing Msxb +, PCNA +, GFP- blastema cells in WT fins and cytoplasmic GFP expression in Msxb +, PCNA + blastema cells in ARF:GFP fins (white dashed boxes). DAPI is excluded from the inset images to improve clarity of costaining. Scale bars: 10 μm. (C) Wide-field epifluorescent images of WT and ARF:GFP fins at multiple time points during fin regeneration. GFP intensity of individual ARF:GFP images was evaluated relative to that of WT images at the same time points, and the resulting values were plotted in Figure 1E. There is a small amount of detectable autofluorescence below the amputation plane in the regenerating wild-type and transgenic fins. Scale bars: 100 μm. Dashed lines represent amputation planes. GFP: Green fluorescent protein; hpa: Hours postamputation; PCNA: Proliferating cell nuclear antigen; WT: Wild type.

ARF is not activated during wound healing in the absence of a blastema.

(A) At day 0, dorsal fin lobes were wounded (interray laceration, 0 dpi), while ventral fin lobes were amputated (0 dpa). At day 1, GFP expression was assayed in the healing (dorsal) and regenerating (ventral) fins. Scale bars: 0.5 mm. (B) Representative images (sagittal confocal images) of cytoplasmic GFP expression in WT and ARF:GFP fins that were either amputated (1 dpa) or wounded (1 dpi). GFP is only detected in ARF:GFP fins that have been amputated (N = 5). Scale bars: 50 μm. Arrows point to the interray wound. Dashed lines represent amputation planes.GFP: Green fluorescent protein; WT: Wild type.

Rb1 hyperphosphorylation and E2f1 binding of the human ARF promoter in the blastema during regeneration.

(A) Representative Western blot of three experimental replicates of Rb pathway components, E2f1, Rb1, and hyperphosphorylated Rb1 (p-Rb1), before injury (uninj.), at 2 dpa, and during embryogenesis at 72 hpf (left). Quantification of p-Rb1 and Rb1 levels normalized to β-Actin and relative to uninjured tissue. Results are from three independent biological replicate experiments and are shown as mean ratios ± standard deviation. *p<0.05; ***p<0.001 (right). (B) Confocal images of coronal vibratome sections immunostained for Green fluorescent protein (GFP), Msxb, and p-Rb1 in uninjured and regenerating (2 dpa) ARF:GFP fins. Scale bars: 50 μm. Very little p-Rb1 staining is seen in the uninjured fin, but high levels of p-Rb1 staining can be seen in Msxb + cells in the blastema at 2 dpa. The white dashed line represents the amputation plane. (C) Representative ChIP qPCR data of three experimental replicates with a pool of 30 fins per experiment. Tissue was collected from ARF:GFP transgenic fish before injury (uninj.), at 2 dpa (regenerate only), and at 72 hpf. Fold enrichment of E2f1 binding was normalized to rabbit IgG. The zebrafish thymidine kinase 1 (tk1) promoter was used as a positive control for E2f1 binding. Sequences 2 kbp upstream of tk1 were used as a negative control (tk1-). Values above twofold (black dashed line) are significant (p<0.05). Figure supplement 1 shows promoter sequences for the ARF, tk1, and tk1- promoters annotated for canonical E2f binding sites. hpa: Hours postamputation.

Model of ARF function in the context of Rb pathway activity during zebrafish development and fin regeneration.

ARF is not active during development during which a moderate level of mitogenic signaling causes modest phosphorylation of Rb1 (top); however, during regeneration, high mitogenic signaling induces Rb1 hyperphosphorylation and abundant free E2f1, which activates ARF and leads to inhibition of regeneration (bottom). The dashed lines represent the amputation plane.
