EZH2-mediated H3K27me3 targets transcriptional circuits of neuronal differentiation

ABSTRACT: Our work describes novel roles for EZH2 in the specification of cortical neurons. Previous reports established the current model of EZH2-mediated control of neuronal progenitors differentiation through the regulation of their proliferation and developmental transitions. We built on these findings and studied the role of EZH2 in post-mitotic glutamatergic neurons differentiated from embryonic stem cells, a particularly relevant cell type where the impact of its regulation has thus far remained elusive. Briefly, our key results can be summarized as follows: 1. The conditional deletion of EZH2 at the moment of cell cycle exit in neural progenitors allowed us to study the role of EZH2 selectively in post-mitotic glutamatergic neurons. 2. Time course transcriptomic and epigenomic analyses of H3K27me3 in absence of EZH2 revealed a significant dysregulation of transcriptional networks affecting synaptic plasticity, in particular long term depression. 3. These analyses also revealed potential novel roles of EZH2 in controlling the regulation between the glutamatergic signature and the GABAergic one, suggesting a mechanism entailing failure of Prdm13 repression, a histone methyltransferase with a known role in determining GABAergic neurons specification.

Single-cell delineation of lineage and genetic identity in the mouse brain

Project description:We used massively parallel tagging of progenitors to track clonal relationships and transcriptomic signatures during murine forebrain development. We found several examples of clonal divergence and convergence in both neurons and glia, and examined the processes that led to clonal divergence of GABAergic neurons. Immediately after exiting the cell-cycle, GABAergic neurons originating from the same mitotic progenitor diverged into different trajectories, suggesting that differentiation into subtypes is initiated as a lineage-dependent processes at the progenitor cell level.

Individual Human Cortical Progenitors Can Produce Excitatory and Inhibitory Neurons

Project description:The cerebral cortex is a cellularly-complex structure comprised of a rich diversity of neuronal and glial cell types. Cortical neurons can be broadly categorized into two classes—glutamatergic excitatory neurons and GABAergic inhibitory interneurons. Previous developmental studies in rodents have led to the prevailing model that while excitatory neurons are born from progenitors located in the cortex, cortical interneurons are born from a separate population of progenitors located outside of the developing cortex in the ganglionic eminences1-5. However, the developmental potential of human cortical progenitors has not been thoroughly explored. Here we show that in addition to excitatory neurons and glia, human cortical progenitors are also capable of producing GABAergic neurons with the transcriptional characteristics and morphologies of cortical interneurons. By developing a cellular barcoding tool called “ScRNAseq-compatible Tracer for Identifying Clonal Relationships” (STICR), we were able to perform clonal lineage tracing of 1912 primary human cortical progenitors from six specimens and capture both the transcriptional identities and clonal relationships of their resulting progeny. A subpopulation of cortically-born GABAergic neurons were transcriptionally similar to cortical interneurons born from the caudal ganglionic eminence and these cells were frequently related to excitatory neurons and glia. Thus, our results demonstrate that individual human cortical progenitors can generate both excitatory neurons and cortical interneurons, providing a new framework for understanding the origins of neuronal diversity in the human cortex.

EB-mediated NPY expression and release.

Project description:Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is an endogenous modulator of neuronal activity by regulating GABA and glutamate release. Previously, we found that estradiol modulates NPY expression in the hippocampal dentate gyrus. Here we investigated which estrogen receptor type activation is required for the NPY expression. Further, we determined effects of estrogen receptor activation on NPY release. Finally, we determined the contribution of estrogen-mediated remodeling of the GABAergic and glutamatergic network in relation to changes in coupling with NPY in ovariectomized rats. We found that activation of either estrogen receptor type increases NPY expression as well as NPY release in the dentate gyrus. We also found that compared to OVX rats, estrogen replacement increases the likeness of synergistic/antagonistic coupling between the NPY and GABAergic synapse genes while the glutamatergic synapse genes are less likely coupled with NPY. The data together suggest that estrogen plays a critical role in regulation of activity of the NPY system and its coupling to GABAergic and glutamatergic synapses in female rat dentate gyrus. Two-conditions (E = beta-estradiol replacement vs O = oil) experiment. Biological replicates: 4E, 4O.

Mutation of a schizophrenia risk gene SETD1A alters neuronal network activity in human neurons through cAMP/PKA pathway

Project description:Using CRISPR/Cas9 to generate an hiPSC line with SETD1A haploinsufficiency and differentiating it into glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons, we found that SETD1A haploinsufficiency resulted in altered neuronal network activity, which was predominantly defined by increased network burst frequency, whereas unchanged global firing activity. In individual neurons, this network phenotype was reflected functionally by increased synchronized synaptic inputs and structurally by increased somatodendritic complexity in both glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons. The transcriptome profile in SETD1A haploinsufficient neurons demonstrated perturbations in gene sets associated with schizophrenia, synaptic transmission, and glutamatergic synaptic function. In addition, transcriptomic data suggested cAMP/PKA pathway might be disturbed in SETD1A haploinsufficient networks, which was further verified by pharmacological experiments.

Temporal patterning of apical progenitors and their daughter neurons in the developing neocortex

Project description:During cortical development, distinct subtypes of glutamatergic neurons are sequentially born and differentiate from dynamic populations of progenitors. How progenitors and their daughter cells are temporally patterned remains unknown. Here, we trace the transcriptional trajectories of successive generations of apical progenitors (APs) and isochronic cohorts of their daughter neurons in the developing mouse neocortex using high temporal resolution parallel single-cell RNA sequencing. We identify and functionally characterize a core set of evolutionarily-conserved temporally patterned genes which drive APs from internally-driven states to more exteroceptive states, revealing a progressively increasing role for extracellular signals as corticogenesis unfolds. These embryonic age-dependent AP molecular states are reflected in their neuronal progeny as successive ground states, onto which essentially conserved early post-mitotic differentiation programs are applied. Thus, temporally unfolding molecular birthmarks present in progenitors act in their post-mitotic progeny as seeds for adult neuronal diversity.

Cell-type based analysis of microRNA profiles in the mouse brain

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNA) are implicated in brain development and function but the underlying mechanisms have been difficult to study in part due to cellular heterogeneity in neural circuits. To systematically analyze miRNA expression in neurons, we have established a miRNA tagging and affinity purification (miRAP) method that is targeted to cell types through the Cre-loxP binary system in mice. Our studies of the neocortex and cerebellum reveal the expression of a large fraction of known miRNAs with distinct profiles in glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons, and subtypes of GABAergic neurons. We further detected putative novel miRNAs, tissue or cell type-specific strand selection of miRNAs, and miRNA editing. Our method thus will facilitate a systematic analysis of miRNA expression and regulation in specific neuron types in the context of neuronal development, physiology, plasticity, pathology and disease models, and is generally applicable to other cell types and tissues. RNA was extracted from miRNA tagging samples(Ago2 IP or Myc IP), processed and sequenced on Illumina genome analyzer

Comprehensive spatiotemporal mapping of single-cell lineages in developing mouse brain by CRISPR-based barcoding

Project description:A fundamental interest in developmental neuroscience is to map the complete single-cell lineages within the brain. We developed a CRISPR editing-based lineage specific tracing (CREST) method for clonal tracing in Cre mice. We combined two complementary strategies to map the comprehensive single-cell lineage landscape in developing mouse brain. Applying snapCREST (snapshotting CREST) in mouse ventral midbrain (vMB), we constructed a spatiotemporal lineage landscape spanning the major developmental stage of vMB. Specifically, we identified six progenitor archetypes that could represent principal clonal fate of individual vMB progenitors, whose progenies showed restricted and graded distribution along the dorsal-ventral axis. We uncovered subregion-specific relationship between glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons and identified three distinct clonal lineages in the floor plate that specified glutamatergic neurons, dopaminergic neurons, or both neuronal types. We further created pandaCREST (progenitor and derivative associating CREST) by combining CREST, ex vivo organoid culture, and clonal splitting strategy to associate the transcriptome of progenitor cells in vivo with their differentiation potentials. Using pandaCREST, we identified multiple developmental origins of dopaminergic neurons and demonstrated that the fate potential of a transcriptome-defined progenitor type reflects the composite potentials of individual progenitors, each with distinct clonal fate and molecular signatures. Thus, the CREST method and strategies allow comprehensive single-cell lineage analysis that could offer new insights into the molecular programs underlying neural specification.

Cross-Species Single-cell Comparative Analysis of Amygdala

Project description:The amygdala or amygdala-like structure in the brain are found in all vertebrates, and plays a critical role for emotional processing. But the cellular architecture of amygdala and how they evolved are still elusive. Here, we generated single-nucleus RNA-sequencing data for more than 200,000 cells in human, macaque, mouse and chicken amygdala. Abundant neuronal cell types derived from different subnuclei of amygdala were identified in all datasets. Cross-species analyses revealed GABAergic neurons and GABAergic neuron-enriched subnuclei of amygdala were well-conserved in cellular composition and marker gene expression, whereas glutamatergic neuron-enriched subnuclei were relatively divergent. Furthermore, we discovered that LAMP5+ interneurons were much more numerous in primates, while DRD2+ GABAergic neurons, LAMP5+ and SATB2+ glutamatergic neurons were predominant in the human central amygdalar nucleus (CEA) and basolateral amygdala complex (BLA), respectively. In addition, we also identified GABAergic neuron-enriched subnuclei of amygdala in the chicken. Altogether, our study highlight extremely cell-type diversity in the amygdala across species and their species-specifc adaptations.

Targeted proteoform mapping uncovers specific Neurexin-3 variants required for dendritic inhibition

Project description:Diversification of cell adhesion molecules by alternative splicing is proposed to underlie molecular codes for neuronal wiring. Transcriptomic approaches mapped detailed cell type-specific mRNA splicing programs. However, it has been hard to probe synapse-specific localization and function of the resulting protein splice isoforms, or “proteoforms”, in vivo. We here apply a proteoform-centric workflow in mice to test synapse-specific functions of splice isoforms of the synaptic adhesion molecule Neurexin-3 (NRXN3). We uncover a major proteoform, NRXN3 AS5, that is highly expressed in GABAergic interneurons and dendrite-targeting GABAergic terminals. NRXN3 AS5 abundance significantly diverges from the distribution of the Nrxn3 mRNA and is gated by translation-repressive elements. Nrxn3 AS5 isoform deletion results in selective impairment of dendrite-targeting interneuron synapses in the dentate gyrus without affecting somatic inhibition or glutamatergic perforant-path synapses. This work establishes cell- and synapse-specific functions of a specific neurexin proteoform and highlights the importance of alternative splicing regulation for synapse specification.
