Expression data from region-specific postnatal astrocytes

ABSTRACT: Astroglial cells in the adult brain constitute a heterogeneous population endowed with region-specific properties. Recently, they have acquired greater relevance as active components of the adult neural stem cell (aNSC) niches. Astrocytes located in the vicinity of aNSC reservoirs are thought to regulate aNSC behaviour. We have compared the function of glial cells isolated from the postnatal and adult subventricular zone and hippocampus (two stem cell niches, where aNSCs self-renew and give rise to immature neurons), from the olfactory bulb (a neurogenic region where the immature neurons cease to proliferate and terminally differentiate) and from a non-stem and non-neurogenic area such as the ventral mesencephalon. Co-culture experiments demonstrate that subventricular zone glial cells secrete soluble signals that promote NSC self-renewing divisions. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression of astroglial cells isolated from four different brain regions (olfactory bulb, ventral mesencephalon, hippocampus and subventricular zone) and identified up-regulated genes coding for secreted proteins in astrocytes from the subventricular zone. Primary astrocytes were cultured from four CD-1 mouse brain regions and cells were employed for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Primary tissue for the astrocyte cultures was dissected from four postnatal day 3 littermate pups. The tissue from the three pups was pooled in order to reduce individual differences of expression profiles.

Integration of genome-wide approaches identifies lncRNAs of adult neural stem cells and their progeny in vivo [RNA-seq]

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been described in cell lines and various whole tissues, but lncRNA analysis of development in vivo is limited. Here, we comprehensively analyze lncRNA expression for the adult mouse subventricular zone neural stem cell lineage. We utilize complementary genome-wide techniques including RNA-seq, RNA CaptureSeq, and ChIP-seq to associate specific lncRNAs with neural cell types, developmental processes, and human disease states. By integrating data from chromatin state maps, custom microarrays, and FACS purification of the subventricular zone lineage, we stringently identify lncRNAs with potential roles in adult neurogenesis. shRNA-mediated knockdown of two such lncRNAs, Six3os and Dlx1as, indicate roles for lncRNAs in the glial-neuronal lineage specification of multipotent adult stem cells. Our data and workflow thus provide a uniquely coherent in vivo lncRNA analysis and form the foundation of a user-friendly online resource for the study of lncRNAs in development and disease. RNA-seq (both paired end and single) from the adult neurogenic niches- subventricular zone (SVZ), olfactory bulb (OB), dentate gyrus (DG) and control non-neurogenic tissue, striatum (STR). Reads were used to assemble a lncRNA catalogue and determine expression values for both protein-coding and noncoding genes

Comprehensive proteome of the adult neural stem cell niche identifies key regulators of adult neurogenesis

Project description:Neural stem cells (NSCs) generating new neurons are restricted to few niches in the adult mammalian brain, while the remainder rather promotes gliogenesis. Here we take advantage of the spatial separation of an NSC niche (the subependymal zone) and the region to where the newly generated neurons migrate and integrate (the olfactory bulb). Using state-of-the-art mass spectrometry we present a comprehensive proteomic characterization of these niches compared to a region of the normal brain parenchyma (cerebral cortex) that is not contusive to neurogenesis and new neuron integration. We find unique compositions of regulatory ECM components in the neurogenic niche, with quiescent NSCs as a main source of their local ECM, including the multi-functional enzyme transglutaminase 2 that we identify as crucial for neurogenesis. Atomic force microscopy further corroborates indications from the proteome that neurogenic niches are significantly stiffer than the non-neurogenic parenchyma, highlighting the unique properties of these special niches.

Olig2 Defines a Unique Subset of Neural Stem Cells That Produce Specific Olfactory Bulb Interneuron Subtypes in the Subventricular Zone of Postnatal and Adult Mice

Project description:Distinct neural stem cells reside in different regions of the subventricular zone and generate multiple olfactory bulb interneuron subtypes in the adult mouse brain. This study shows that the basic helix-loop-helix type transcription factor Olig2 defines a ventrally enriched subset of NSCs in the early postnatal and adult SVZ and plays an important role in the subtype specification of olfactory bulb interneurons produced by adult NSCs.

Differential vulnerability of adult neurogenic niches to dosage of the Neurodevelopmental-disorder linked gene FoxG1

Project description:We report that the two adult neurogenic niches of the mammalian brain – the dentate gyrus of the hippocampal formation and the subependymal zone of the lateral ventricles - displayed differential vulnerability to increased FoxG1 dosage: high FoxG1 levels severely compromised survival and glutamatergic dentate granule neuron fate acquisition in the hippocampal neurogenic niche, but left neurogenesis of GABAergic neurons in the subependymal zone / olfactory bulb system unaffected. Comparative transcriptomic analyses revealed a significantly higher expression of the apoptosis-linked nuclear receptor Nr4a1 in FoxG1-overexpressing hippocampal neural precursors. Our results reveal differential vulnerability of neuronal subtypes to increased FoxG1 dosage and suggest that activity of a FoxG1/Nr4a1 axis contributes to such subtype-specific response.

Dual and separable roles for Ezh2 in neurogenic astroglia

Project description:The epigenetic mechanisms that enable specialized astrocytes to retain neurogenic competence throughout adult life are still poorly understood. Here we show that astrocytes that serve as neural stem cells (NSCs) in the adult mouse subventricular zone (SVZ) express the histone methyltransferase EZH2. This Polycomb repressive factor is required for neurogenesis independent of its role in SVZ NSC proliferation, as Ink4a/Arf-deficiency in Ezh2-deleted SVZ NSCs rescues cell proliferation, but neurogenesis remains defective. Olig2 is a direct target of EZH2, and repression of this bHLH transcription factor is critical for neuronal differentiation. Furthermore, Ezh2 prevents the inappropriate activation of genes that specify non-SVZ neuronal subtypes. In the human brain, SVZ cells including local astroglia also express EZH2, correlating with postnatal neurogenesis. Thus, EZH2 is an epigenetic regulator that distinguishes neurogenic SVZ astrocytes, orchestrating distinct and separable aspects of adult stem cell biology, which has important implications for regenerative medicine and oncogenesis.

PACAP induces adult neural progenitor surface attachment by increasing the production of extracellular matrix components

Project description:New neurons are born throughout the life of mammals in germinal zones of the brain known as neurogenic niches: the subventricular zone of the lateral ventricles and the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. These niches contain a subpopulation of cells known as adult neural progenitors (aNPCs), which self-renew and give rise to new neurons and glia. aNPCs are regulated by many factors present in the niche, including the extracellular matrix (ECM). We show that the neuropeptide PACAP (pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide) affects subventricular zone-derived aNPCs by increasing their surface adhesion. Gene array and reconstitution assays indicate that this effect can be attributed to the regulation of ECM components and ECM-modifying enzymes in aNPCs by PACAP. Our work suggests that PACAP regulates a bidirectional interaction between the aNPCs and their niche: PACAP modifies ECM production and remodeling, in turn the ECM regulates progenitor cell adherence. We speculate that PACAP may in this manner help restrict adult neural progenitors to the stem cell niche in vivo, with potential significance for aNPC function in physiological and pathological states.

Profiling astrocyte spatial heterogeneity and region-specific transcription factor networks

Project description:The goals of this study are to profile the molecular signatures of astrocytes from four brain regions (olfactory bulb, hippocampus, cortex, and brainstem) and determine if differential transcription factor enrichment may play a role in shaping astrocyte spatial diversity. We performed RNA-seq on astrocytes from the olfactory bulb, hippocampus, cortex, and brainstem, and determined region-specific molecular signatures. Using transcription factor motif discovery analysis on each region-specific gene signature we uncovered universal and region-specific transcription factor expression profiles.
