Seven hundred and thirty-four unique genes were recovered from a cDNA library enriched for genes up-regulated during the process of lens regeneration in the frog Xenopus laevis. The sequences represent transcription factors, proteins involved in RNA synthesis/processing, components of prominent cell signaling pathways, genes involved in protein processing, transport, and degradation (e.g., the ubiquitin/proteasome pathway), matrix metalloproteases (MMPs), as well as many other proteins. The findings implicate specific signal transduction pathways in the process of lens regeneration, including the FGF, TGF-beta, MAPK, Retinoic acid, Wnt, and hedgehog signaling pathways, which are known to play important roles in eye/lens development and regeneration in various systems. In situ hybridization revealed that the majority of genes recovered are expressed during embryogenesis, including in eye tissues. Several novel genes specifically expressed in lenses were identified. The suite of genes was compared to those up-regulated in other regenerating tissues/organisms, and a small degree of overlap was detected.

The NCBI accession numbers and putative identities corresponding to each clone ID are listed in Table 1 (bold entries). For additional images, including other stages of development, see www.life.illinois.edu/henry. In addition, refer to Supplemental Figure S1 for information summarizing specific and general patterns of expression in certain tissues/regions. Stages shown are as indicated (all Xenopus developmental stages follow those of Nieuwkoop and Faber,[1956]). All embryos are show as lateral views with the anterior end directed to the right. Black arrowheads point to the lens or the lens-forming region in some examples where there was highly elevated or specific expression in that tissue. Scale bar = 300 mu m.

The 17 most frequent classifications (annotation terms) are shown for each category, along with the number of genes associated with those particular assignments. The data is based on that included in Supplemental Figure S2. A total of 392 of the 734 unique Xenopus genes recovered exhibited significant similarity to human and other genes and could be related to equivalent Human UniProt IDs (376 of those genes possessed specific GO annotations).
