Project description:Analysis of the function of Tlx in regulating brain tumor stem cells (BTSCs) at the gene expression level. Based on our knowledge, we know that Tlx is specifically expressed in the neural stem cells in mouse brain. It also functionally regulates neurogenesis during the postnatal stages. The hypothesis tested in the present study is that Tlx influences the maintenance and progression of mouse brain gliomas through regulating the self-renewal of BTSCs and it is also a specific marker of brain tumor stem cells (BTSCs). Results provide important information about the function of Tlx in brain gliomas.

Project description:Comparison of polysomal profiles of murine adult olig2 cortical progenitors, murine tumor olig2 cells derived from hPDGF-B-driven glioblastomas, and murine olig2 proliferative recruited glioma cells contributing to the tumor mass but not derived from the cell of origin An unbiased way to define a cell population lies in identification of its gene expression signature and subsequent comparison to gene expression signatures of known normal or cancer cells to define its position on the axis of tumorigenesis. To quantify similarities and differences in the expression profiles of recruited cells and tumor cells using microarray analysis, we used the bacTRAP technology that allows immunoprecipitation of polysomes from specific cell types in vivo (Heiman et al 2008, Doyle et al 2008). We compared polysomal expression profiles of hPDGFb-driven Ntv-a Ink4a/Arf+/- olig2 mouse glioma cells representing a histologically defined glioma population, recruited olig2 cells derived from Ink4a/Arf+/- olig2 RP-eGFP mice transplanted with non-fluorescent glioma cells, and normal adult cortical olig2 mouse progenitors, using Affymetrix 430 mouse 2.0 chips and Genespring GX10 software (Doyle et al 2008, Heiman et al 2008). Translational profiles of recruited olig2 cells and glioma olig2 cells were similar to each other and clearly distinct from the normal olig2 progenitors, majority of the differences accounted for by the “statistically significantly changed” set of mRNAs (ANOVA, p<0.05), and sample clustering reduced upon removal of the ANOVA-tested mRNA set. Unsupervised hierarchical mRNA clustering likewise indicated that recruited olig2 cells clustered more closely to glioma olig2 cells. The caveat is that olig2 expression in the adult normal brain of bacTRAP olig2 RP-eGFP mice labels both progenitors and mature oligodendrocytes, while recruited and tumor olig2 cells are almost entirely progenitors; therefore, some of the differences seen in the comparative analysis of normal, tumor and recruited olig2 cells may in part result from the shift in relative abundance of different progenitor and mature olig2 cell populations. Normal olig2 progenitors were collected from three replicates of pooled cortices of three olig2 RP-eGFP bacTRAP reporter mice. Mouse gliomas induced by injection of a non-fluorescent RCAS-hPDGFb (Shih et al 2004) or by transplantation of muring glioma cells derived from Ntv-a gliomas induced by the non-fluorescent RCAS-hPDGFb were collected from Ntv-a olig2 RP-eGFP bacTRAP reporter mice and immunoprecipitated; each tumor was processed as a separate sample. Briefly, mouse tissues were collected into ice-cold cyclohexamide-containing buffer, homogenized, cells were lysed in NP-40 and DHPC-containing buffer, centrifuged at 20,000g for 15 min, supernatant incubated with anti-eGFP-conjugated protein G beads 30 min at 4C, washed and RNA collected using Trizol reagent as per manufacturer’s instructions (Doyle et al., 2008; Heiman et al., 2008). RNA was purified, concentrated using Qiagen RNeasy kit, its quality confirmed by Agilent Bioanalyzer, 15ng per sample amplified using Affymetrix Two-Cycle Amplification kit and hybridized to Affymetrix 430 mouse 2.0 chips as described in Doyle et al., 2008; Heiman et al., 2008. Data was analyzed using Genespring GX10 software, as described in the text and in Doyle et al., 2008; Heiman et al., 2008. Briefly, samples were normalized using GCRMA, filtered to remove probe sets with low intensity, and analyzed using ANOVA (p<0.05) with SNK post-hoc and Benjamini and Hochberg FDR multiple testing correction. Probe quality, Pearson’s correlation, hierarchical clustering, heatmaps, gene profile plots were generated using Genespring GX10 software. Pathway analysis was performed using Ingenuity as per manufacturer’s instructions. Gliomas are thought to form by clonal expansion from a single cell-of-origin, and progression-associated mutations to occur in its progeny cells. Glioma progression is associated with elevated growth factor signaling and loss of function of tumor suppressors Ink4a, Arf and Pten. Yet, gliomas are cellularly heterogeneous; they recruit and trap normal cells during infiltration. We performed lineage tracing in a retrovirally mediated, molecularly and histologically accurate mouse model of hPDGFb-driven gliomagenesis. We were able to distinguish cells in the tumor that were derived from the cell-of-origin from those that were not. Phenotypic, tumorogenic and expression analyses were performed on both populations of these cells. Here we show that during progression of hPDGFb-induced murine gliomas, tumor suppressor loss can expand the recruited cell population not derived from the cell-of-origin within glioma microenvironment to dominate regions of the tumor, with essentially no contribution from the progeny of glioma cell-of-origin. Moreover, the recruited cells can give rise to gliomas upon transplantation and passaging, acquire polysomal expression profiles and genetic aberrations typically present in glioma cells rather than normal progenitors, aid progeny cells in glioma initiation upon transplantation, and become independent of PDGFR signaling. These results indicate that non-cell-of-origin derived cells within glioma environment in the mouse can be corrupted to become bona fide tumor, and deviate from the generally established view of gliomagenesis.

Project description:To investigate neuronopathic Gaucher disease brain cell gene expression, we established Gba flox/flox; Nestin-Cre mice and performed scRNA sequencing of whole brain cells from these and wild type mice. Unbiased clustering analysis revealed that most remarkable change between wild type and Gba flox/flox; Nestin-Cre mice was the appearance of an activated microglia cluster, which exclusively expressed Tnf. Our further study elucidated the mechanism by which activated microglia and TNF contribute to Gaucher disease pathology.

Project description:To investigate the contribution of Mincle in neuronopathic Gaucher disease, we established Gba flox/flox; Nestin-Cre mice and crossed them with Mincle deficient mice. RNA sequencing of microglia from these mice revealed Axl, a phaogocytic receptor was upregulated in Gba flox/flox; Nestin-Cre mice. In addition, Tnf was upregulated in Gba flox/flox; Nestin-Cre mice in a Mincle-dependent manner. Our further study elucidated that Mincle, Axl and TNF are involved in the pathology of Gaucher disease.

Project description:Malignant gliomas represent the most devastating group of brain tumors in adults, among which glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) exhibits the highest malignancy rate. Despite combined modality treatment, GBM recurs and is invariably fatal. A further insight into molecular background of gliomagenesis is required to improve patient outcome. The first aim of this study was to gain broad information on miRNA expression pattern in malignant gliomas, mainly GBM. We investigated the global miRNA profile of malignant glioma tissues by means of miRNA microarrays, deep sequencing and meta-analysis. We selected miRNAs the most frequently deregulated in glioblastoma tissues as well as peritumoral brain areas in comparison to normal human brain. We found candidate miRNAs contributing to progression from gliomas grade III to gliomas grade IV. The meta-analysis of miRNA profiling studies in GBM tissues summarizes the past and recent advances in an investigation of miRNA signature in GBM versus noncancerous human brain and provides a comprehensive overview. We proposed a set of 35 miRNAs which expression is the most frequently deregulated in GBM patients and 30 miRNA candidates recognized as novel GBM biomarkers. miRNA expression profile in the adult malignant gliomas, glioma peritumoral tissues and normal human brain.

Project description:H1299 cells were stably transfected with the Oct4 promoter/GFP or Nestin promoter/GFP reporter vectors. By FACS, 106 cells expressing high levels of GFP were isolated and placed into cell culture for twenty-four hours. Total RNA was used. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) are aberrantly expressed in most lung carcinomas. BMPs mediate cell fate decisions and self-renewal of stem cells. Inhibition of BMP signaling decreases the growth and induces cell death of lung cancer cells lines. It is not known whether the BMP signaling cascade is growth promoting in lung cancer cells expressing the stem cell markers Oct4 and/or nestin. Lung cancer cells expressing Oct4 or nestin were isolated from lung cancer cell lines by stably transfecting the Oct4 promoter or Nestin promoter expression vectors that activate the green fluorescent protein reporter. Our studies support that lung cancer cells activating the Oct4 or nestin promoter are different cell populations. Microarray and quantitative RT-PCR demonstrated that the expression levels of specific stem cell markers were different between the isolated Oct4 and nestin cells. Both the Oct4 and nestin populations were more tumorigenic that controls but histologically they were quite different. The isolated Oct4 and nestin cells also responded differently to inhibition of BMP signaling. Blockade of BMP signaling with the BMP receptor antagonist DMH2 caused significant growth inhibition in both the Oct4 and nestin cell populations but only increased cell death in the nestin population. DMH2 also induced the expression of nestin in the Oct4 population but not in the nestin cells. We also show that BMP signaling is an important regulator of the inhibitor differentiation proteins Id1 and Id3 in Oct4 and nestin cell populations Lung cancer cells expressing Oct4 or nestin were isolated and transfected with Oct4 or Nestin promoter expression vectors that activate the green fluorescent protein reporter. Microarray and quantitative RT-PCR were performed to study the differentially expressed genes. BMPs mediate cell fate decisions and self-renewal of stem cells were investigated.

Project description:Alternative splicing (AS) increases the informational content of the genome and is more prevalent in the brain than in any other tissue. The splicing factor Tra2b (Sfrs10) can modulate splicing inclusion of exons by specifically detecting GAA-rich binding motifs and its absence causes early embryonic lethality in mice. TRA2B has been shown to be involved in splicing processes of Nasp (nuclear autoantigenic sperm protein), MAPT (microtubule associated protein tau) and SMN (survival motor neuron), and is therefore implicated in spermatogenesis and neurological diseases like AlzheimerM-^Rs disease, dementia, ParkinsonM-^Rs disease and spinal muscular atrophy. Here we generated a neuronal-specific Tra2b knock-out mouse that lacks Tra2b expression in neuronal and glial precursor cells by using the Nestin-Cre. Neuronal-specific Tra2b knock-out mice die immediately after birth and show severe abnormalities in cortical development, which are caused by massive apoptotic events in the ventricular layers of the cortex, demonstrating a pivotal role of Tra2b for the developing central nervous system. Using whole brain RNA on exon arrays we identified differentially expressed alternative exons of Tubulin?1 and Shugoshin like2 as in vivo targets of Tra2b. Most interestingly, we found increased expression of the cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 1a (p21) which we could functionally link to neuronal precursor cells in the affected brain regions. We provide further evidence that the absence of Tra2b causes p21 upregulation and ultimately cell death in NSC34 neuronal-like cells. These findings demonstrate that Tra2b regulates splicing events essential for maintaining neuronal viability during development. Apoptotic events triggered via p21 might not be restricted to the developing brain but could possibly be generalized to the whole organism and explain early embryonic lethality in Tra2b-depleted mice.

Project description:The aim of this study was to examine the effect of genetic disruption of the circadian clock on gene expression in the cortex across timepoints. Circadian clock protein regulate many critical aspects of cellular function, and Bmal1 knockout mice develop severe neuroinflammation, suggesting a role for circadian clock gene in brain homeostatic function. We compared brain-specific Bmal1 KO mice (Nestin-Cre;Bmal1(flox/flox) with Per1/2 double mutant mice, in order to assess the effects of deletion of the positive and negative limbs of the core clock. 11mo Cre-, NestinCre+/-;Bmal1(fx/fx), or Per1brdm,Per2brdm mice were entrained to 12h light:dark conditions with lights on at 6am for one month, then placed in constant darkness for 24 hours, after which mice were harvested at 6am (CT6) or 6pm (CT18), still in the dark. Mice were anesthetized in the dark, then perfused briefly with PBS+heparin. The brain was then quickly dissected on a cold surface, and the cerebral cortex flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. Cortex samples were mechanically dissociated with a Qiashredder device, then extracted with chloroform and diluted in 70% ethanol. RNA was extracted using Qiagen RNEasy kit according to manufacturers specifications. cDNAs were chemically labeled with Kreatech ULS RNA labeling kit (Kreatech Diagnostics) and Cy5-labeled cDNAs were hybridized to Agilent Mouse v2 4x44K microarrays (G4846A-026655).
