Peer-Reviewed Papers


Baker, P.A., Meyer, M.D., Tsang, A. and Uribe, R.A. (2019). Immunohistochemical and ultrastructural analysis of the maturing larval zebrafish enteric nervous system reveals the formation of a neuropil pattern. Scientific Reports, Volume 9, Article number: 6941 www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-43497-9
  • In this paper, we describe that the zebrafish intestinal wall contains a meshwork of neural tissue, called the myenteric plexus, which matures between 7 and 18 days post fertilization.

  • In this paper, we summarize current knowledge of vagal neural crest development across vertebrates.

Rajan SG, Gallik KL, Monaghan JR, Uribe RA, Bronner ME, Saxena A. (2018). Tracking neural crest cell cycle progression in vivo. Genesis. e23214. In the Special Anniversary Edition celebrating 150 years of Neural Crest Research doi.org/ 10.1002/dvg.23214 PMID: 29956448
  • In this paper, we collaborated with the Saxena lab to create a novel cell cycle occupancy reporter, in neural crest cells.

  • In this study, it was discovered that a very fine window of time is critical for Retinoic Acid to affect vagal neural crest invasion into gut tissue. We also discovered that the transcription factor Meis3 is functionally important downstream of Retinoic Acid, expanding our knowledge of this critical Gene-Environment interaction during development.

  • In this study, Dr. Uribe and undergraduate researcher Tiffany Gu characterized the localization of ptf1a:GFP+ cells in the developing enteric plexus in zebrafish fishes.

Uribe R.A.*, Buzzi A.L.*, Bronner M.E. and Strobl-Mazzulla, P.H.  (2015).  Histone demethylase KDM4B regulates otic vesicle invagination via epigenetic control of Dlx3 expression.  The Journal of Cell Biology Nov 23; 211(4): 815-27. doi: 10.1083/jcb.201503071. *equal authorship. (Featured in “News: in this Issue”) PMID: 26598618
  • In this collaborative work, Dr. Uribe worked with graduate student Ailin Buzzi and Dr. Pablo Strobl-Mazzulla while in the Bronner lab to discover that the epigenetic factor KDM4B functions to regulate otic vesicle invagination and epithelial polarization in chick.

Uribe, R.A. and Bronner, M.E. (2015).  Meis3 is required for neural crest invasion of the gut during zebrafish enteric nervous system development. Molecular Biology of the Cell Nov 1; 26(21): 3728-40 doi:10.1091/mbc.E15-02-0112.  PMID: 26354419
  • In this investigative work, Dr. Uribe discovered that the transcription factor Meis3 functions to promote vagal neural crest migration into the primitive gut tube in zebrafish embryos.
   
Lee J., Cox B.D., Daly C., Lee C., Nuckels R.J., Tittle R.K., Uribe R.A. and Gross J.M. (2012). An ENU mutagenesis screen in zebrafish for visual system mutants identifies a novel splice-acceptor site mutation in patched2 that results in colobomas. Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science 53(13): 8214-21. PMID: 23150614
  • In this team project while a graduate student in the Gross lab, Dr. Uribe helped to screen through a family of zebrafish mutants for defects in eye formation during development. Of 18 recessive mutants discovered, this paper focuses description of the mutant phenotype called coloboma caused by a mutation in the patched2 gene.

  • This study found that the protein Id2a functions upstream of the Notch pathway to regulate cell cycle exit of retinal progenitors and their ability to undergo neuronal differentiation. This study was one of the first in the zebrafish eye community to leverage RNA-sequencing and bioinformatic analysis of isolated retinal tissue.
