Project description:The cerebral cortex comprises diverse excitatory and inhibitory neuron subtypes, each with distinct laminar positions and connectivity patterns. Yet, the molecular logic underlying their precise wiring remains poorly understood. To identify ligand–receptor (LR) interactions involved in cortical circuit assembly, we tracked gene expression dynamics across major neuronal populations at 17 developmental stages using single-cell transcriptomics. This generated a comprehensive atlas of LR-mediated communication between excitatory and inhibitory neuron subtypes, capturing known and novel interactions. Notably, we identify neogenin-1 as the principal receptor for Cbln4 during the perinatal period, mediating synapse formation between somatostatin-expressing interneurons and glutamatergic neurons. We also identify cadherin superfamily members as candidate regulators of perisomatic inhibition onto deep and superficial excitatory neurons by parvalbumin-expressing basket cells, with opposing effects on synapse formation. These findings suggest a context-dependent role for cadherins in synaptic specificity and underscore the power of single-cell transcriptomics for decoding molecular mechanisms of cortical wiring.

Project description:The mammalian neocortex is a layered sheet of neural tissue that mediates complex cognitive processes including perception and cognition. Despite its importance, we still lack detailed knowledge of the cellular components of the neocortex. Integrating morphological, electrophysiological and molecular classification schemes into a common framework for defining cell types is challenging due to the limited scope of most single-cell analyses. Here, we developed a protocol for high-throughput electrophysiological and transcriptomic analysis of single neurons that combines whole-cell recordings and single-cell RNA-sequencing, which we call Patch-seq. Using this approach, we fully characterized the electrophysiological and molecular profiles of ~50 neocortical neurons, and show that gene expression patterns can be used to infer the morphological and physiological properties of individual neurons and their corresponding cell type. Our results shed light on the molecular underpinnings of neuronal diversity and demonstrate a path forward for comprehensive cell type characterization in the nervous system.

Project description:Evidence suggests a potential role for ciliopathy in Autism Spectrum Disorder aetiology, including the identification of autism-specific mutations in several ciliary genes. One of these, CEP41, encodes a centrosomal protein located at the basal body and in the ciliary axoneme. The CEP41 R242H missense mutation is predicted to have a deleterious effect on the structure of CEP41’s evolutionarily conserved rhodamine domain. Here we generated human iPSC cell lines with a homozygous R242H mutation. Control and CEP41 mutant iPSC lines were then differentiated into cerebral organoids, and single cell RNA-seq was performed after 6 and 10 weeks of development.

Project description:Most cancers including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are infiltrated by PNS neurons participating in their complex tumor microenvironment. However, their cell bodies and nuclei are located in the para- and pre-vertebral PNS ganglia located far from the tumor mass itself. Thus, molecular information on healthy organ- vs. cancer-infiltrating neurons is currently lacking in any sequencing dataset of healthy or tumor tissue. To specifically identify and molecularly characterize the identity and transcriptomes of PDAC-infiltrating neurons at single cell resolution, we developed “Trace-n-seq”. This method is based on retrograd tracing of axons from target tissues to their respective ganglia, followed by individual FACS-isolation and transcriptomic analysis. We characterized >2000 sympathetic and sensory neurons that infiltrate PDAC, healthy pancreas, or other abdominal organs.

Project description:Endovascular biopsy and fluorescence activated cell sorting was used to enrich for viable endothelial cells (ECs) from a vertebrobasilar aneurysm and the femoral artery. scRNAseq was then performed on 24 aneurysmal endothelial cells and 23 patient-matched non-aneurysmal femoral artery endothelial cells. cDNA libraries were prepared using the Smart-seq2 protocol on a Fluidigm C1 system (Fluidigm, South San Francisco, California) and sequenced on a HiSeq2500 machine (Illumina, San Diego, California).

Project description:We sequenced the mRNAs of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) cultured in different conditions. The two lines M (male) and F (female) used in this study were derived from E4 blastocysts of the same cross between a C57BL/6J (Mus musculus domesticus) and CAST/EiJ (Mus castaneus) male. mESCs were cultured in 2i and LIF as the ground state condition or in serum and LIF as the conventional condition. Epistem cell lines were also generated from the two lines by culturing them with Activin A and FGF2. In order to study more advanced development, we differentiated the two mESC lines through embryonic body formation to postmitotic motor neurons using retinoic acid and the smoothened agonist SAG. This differentiation process also results in the derivation of several types of interneurons. We picked single cells from all different conditions and generated sequencing libraries using the Smart-seq2 and Tn5 protocol. For simplicity, we designate the different condition as ES2i, ES, Epi and Neuron from hereon. We also obtained preimplantation inner cell mass and epiblast cells from E3.5 ICM (inner cell mass) and E4.5 blastocysts of the crossbred mice (male CAST/EiJ Ã female C57BL/6J) as well as postimplantation epiblast cells from E5.5 embryos of C57BL/6J mice Examination of gene expression profile in individual male and female embryonic stem cell lines along developmental progression

Project description:Generally, when LCM is used in diverse transcriptomic analyses, several hundred, if not thousands, of cells are needed to obtain high quality of RNA-seq data. As some cellular populations are very small and tissue often in scarcity, we aimed to carefully document the lowest number of cells needed to retrieve sequencable libraries. We started with capturing 120 cells and subsequently scaled down to 50 cells, 30 cells, 10 cells, 5 cells, 2 cells and finally 1 cell. By optimizing multiple steps in the procedure, including direct lysis of cells without performing RNA isolation, we developed LCM-seq that couples LCM with Smart-seq2 for robust and efficient polyA-based RNA sequencing. We applied LCM-seq to mouse and human neuron samples, and demonstrated that LCM-seq can allow us to acquire high quality RNA-seq data from mouse and human tissues to conduct various transcriptomic studies.

We identified discriminative cell populations with canonical and novel markers. Cross-species projection demonstrated the evolutionary conservation among mouse, monkey, and human. This dataset serves as a detailed transcriptomic atlas for understanding the adult primate central nervous system.
