Show abstract
Unlike mammals, zebrafish possess a remarkable ability to regenerate damaged retina after an acute injury. Retina regeneration in zebrafish involves the induction of Muller glia-derived progenitor cells (MGPCs) exhibiting stem cell-like characteristics, which are capable of restoring all retinal cell-types. Here, we explored the importance of Phosphatase and tensin homolog (Pten), a dual-specificity phosphatase and tumor suppressor during retina regeneration. The Pten undergo rapid downregulation in the Muller glia and is absent in MGPCs, which is essential to trigger Akt-mediated cell proliferation to cause retina regeneration. We found that the forced downregulation of Pten accelerates MGPCs formation, while its overexpression restricts the regenerative response. We observed that Pten regulates the proliferation of MGPCs not only through Akt pathway but also by Mmp9/Notch signaling. Mmp9-activity is essential to induce the proliferation of MGPCs in the absence of Pten. Lastly, we show that Pten expression is fine-tuned through Mycb/histone deacetylase1 and Tgf-{beta} signaling. The present study emphasizes on the stringent regulation of Pten and its crucial involvement during the zebrafish retina regeneration.
