Genes can be tracked by tagging with fluorescent proteins
Allows detection of gene being “turned on” during development

Wnt1 Gene Expression
Mark Feltner, M.A. Skyline High School Dallas, Texas
![Page 30: Dr. Alvin Yeh Department of Biomedical Engineering Dr. Arne Lekven Department of Biology Josh Bergerson Normangee High School.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649cfa5503460f949cb487/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Laser’s 2-photon emission, in conjunction with fluorescent proteins, is providing us with more detailed imaging of developing embryos.
![Page 31: Dr. Alvin Yeh Department of Biomedical Engineering Dr. Arne Lekven Department of Biology Josh Bergerson Normangee High School.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649cfa5503460f949cb487/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Several of the genes discussed are oncogenes – they can, under some circumstances, initiate cancerous growth.
(Q: these include which: wnt 1, wnt 8 (all wnt’s??) spt, pax 2…others?)
![Page 32: Dr. Alvin Yeh Department of Biomedical Engineering Dr. Arne Lekven Department of Biology Josh Bergerson Normangee High School.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649cfa5503460f949cb487/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Each gene is involved in early brain development. The sp5 gene expression, for instance, is involved in development of the midbrain, hindbrain and spinal cord, but not the forebrain.

Multiple genes work together in the same place at the same time
![Page 34: Dr. Alvin Yeh Department of Biomedical Engineering Dr. Arne Lekven Department of Biology Josh Bergerson Normangee High School.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649cfa5503460f949cb487/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
In early zebrafish emryos, the mesoderm and endoderm are initially mixed.
They differentiate.
![Page 35: Dr. Alvin Yeh Department of Biomedical Engineering Dr. Arne Lekven Department of Biology Josh Bergerson Normangee High School.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649cfa5503460f949cb487/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
But these are ‘just’ fish, right? How is this relevant to us?
In every vertebrate embryo, there is always a midbrain-hindbrain boundary. This goes for all mammalian species, including us, the mighty Homo sapiens.
![Page 36: Dr. Alvin Yeh Department of Biomedical Engineering Dr. Arne Lekven Department of Biology Josh Bergerson Normangee High School.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649cfa5503460f949cb487/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
In fact, this diagram helps illustrate the commonalities of gene expression that all vertebrate species share.
![Page 37: Dr. Alvin Yeh Department of Biomedical Engineering Dr. Arne Lekven Department of Biology Josh Bergerson Normangee High School.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649cfa5503460f949cb487/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
To recap: Before you can actually see a difference in cell formation, the cells are already expressing the various genes that will cause them to differentiate.
The wnt1 gene appears to be conserved across multiple vertebrate species, including humans.
Thus: understand zerbrafish early brain development, and we can better understand mammalian gene expression of brain development.
![Page 38: Dr. Alvin Yeh Department of Biomedical Engineering Dr. Arne Lekven Department of Biology Josh Bergerson Normangee High School.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649cfa5503460f949cb487/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
This is huge.
Currently, we know what expression of wnt1 gene does, but nobody knows the mechanism of how this gene gets turned on.
This is one question that we hope to answer. Of course, there are many more.
