Role of ERb in neural differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells

ABSTRACT: Global gene expression profile of midbrain neural differentiation of mESCs from WT and ERb knockout mice, with or without the selective ERb agonist LY3201 (0.5 nM). Estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) is highly expressed in the fetal brain and is essential for proper corticogenesis during development. Nevertheless, the transcriptional signatures regulated by ERβ during defined neural differentiation stages have not been investigated. In the present study we used mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) from wildtype (WT) and ERβ knockout (BERKO) mice to derive neural precursor cells (NPCs) and further differentiated these towards defined midbrain neural fates. This allowed us to systematically investigate transcriptionally active determinants during stages of midbrain neurogenesis. We found that ERβ is important during early neural development in regulating proliferation and maintaining the stem cell pool of neuroepithelial and midbrain stem cells. Detailed gene profiling analysis revealed that loss of ERβ perturbs normal neurogenesis by affecting the expression of factors involved in cell adhesion, axon guidance, and signaling of Notch, Wnt, glutamate- and GABA receptors. Among these we identified several factors that are crucial for dopaminergic neuron development and maintenance, as well as the promotion of oligodendrocyte differentiation. We also demonstrate that these effects are largely independent of ligand activated ERβ. Our data identifies ERβ as an important component in midbrain neurogenesis, where its disruption results in premature depletion of the neural stem cell pool in favor of oligodendrogliogenesis.

The dynamic interactome of Polycomb family complexes during stem cell differentiation

Project description:While the core subunits of Polycomb group (PcG) complexes are well characterized, little is known about the dynamics of these protein complexes during cellular differentiation. We used quantitative interaction proteomics to study PcG proteins in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) and neural progenitor cells (NPCs). We found the stoichiometry of PRC1 and PRC2 to be highly dynamic during neural differentiation.

Transcriptional profiling of mouse embryonic stem cells without Huntingtin (Htt)

Project description:Mutation in the huntingtin (HTT) gene causes Huntington’s disease. Wild type Htt is essential for development as Htt knockout mice die at day E7.5. Increasing evidence suggests mutant Htt may alter neurogenesis and development of striatal neurons resulting in neuronal loss. Using mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), we examined the role of Htt in neural differentiation. We found Htt-null (HN) mESCs inefficient in generating neural stem cells. In contrast differentiation into progenitors of mesoderm and endoderm lineages was not affected. To investigate the basis for the lack of neural differentiation, we carried out gene expression profiling by RNA-seq to examine if genes involved in neural differentiation were dysregulated in HN mESCs.

A post-transcriptional program coordinated by CSDE1 prevents intrinsic neural differentiation of human embryonic stem cells

Project description:While the transcriptional network of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) has been extensively studied, relatively little is known about how post-transcriptional modulations determine hESC function. RNA-binding proteins play central roles in RNA regulation, including translation and turnover. Here we show that the RNA-binding protein CSDE1 is highly expressed in hESCs to maintain their undifferentiated state and prevent default neural fate. Notably, loss of CSDE1 accelerates neural differentiation and potentiates neurogenesis. Conversely, ectopic expression of CSDE1 impairs neural differentiation. We find that CSDE1 post-transcriptionally modulates core components of multiple regulatory nodes of hESC identity, neuroectoderm commitment and neurogenesis. Among these key pro-neural/neuronal factors, CSDE1 binds fatty acid binding protein 7 (FABP7) and vimentin (VIM) mRNAs as well as transcripts involved in neuron projection development regulating their stability and translation. Thus, our results uncover CSDE1 as a central post-transcriptional regulator of hESC identity and neurogenesis.

A lysine demethylase-independent function of Phf2 regulates cohesin-mediated DNA replication for neural stem cell activation

Project description:The activation of quiescent neural stem cells (qNSCs) in the dentate gyrus is required for lifelong neurogenesis. However, the mechanisms that promote the exit of neural stem cells (NSCs) from quiescence remain elusive. We demonstrate that the expression of plant homeodomain finger protein 2 (Phf2) activates the exit of postnatal mouse NSC from shallow quiescence. Loss of Phf2 prevents NSC activation and neurogenesis in postnatal 30 (P30) mice but does not decrease the label-retaining NSC pool, indicating that Phf2 is not required for the exit of NSC from quiescence. NSC-specific deletion of Phf2 modestly compromises embryonic mouse NSC proliferation without increasing apoptosis, indicating that Phf2 is crucial for embryonic development. Moreover, human cortical organoids reveal that Phf2 promotes NPC proliferation via a lysine demethylase-independent manner. Mechanistically, Phf2 directly binds to the cohesion complex via Rad21 and regulates the DNA replication in mouse NSC by associating with the cohesion complex releasing protein Wapl activity. Our study identifies the Phf2-cohesin complex mediated DNA replication for neural stem cell activation in a lysine demethylase-independent manner.

Wild-type, Foxa2-/-, and Nkx2.2-/- mESCs at different time points of differentiation

Project description:We report gene-expression profiling of different mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) mutant cell lines differentiating to neuronal lineages upon treatment with Retinoic Acid (RA) and Smoothened agonist (SAG). We generated genome-wide expression profiles of embryonic stem cells and neural progenitors at different differentiating time-points for different mutant cell lines and WT control mESCs. We find NKX2.2 and FOXA2 are key components of an intrinsic timer in neural stem cells founded on a negative feedback network that regulates the duration of motor neuron neurogenesis.

Enrichment, proteome analysis and transplantation of human embryonic stem cell derived dopaminergic progenitors expressing LMX1a

Project description:Despite the progress in safety and efficacy of cell therapy with pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), the presence of residual undifferentiated stem cells or proliferating neural progenitor cells (NPCs) with rostral identity has remained a major challenge. Here we reported the generation of an LMX1A knock-in GFP reporter human embryonic stem cell (hESC) line that marks the early dopaminergic progenitors during neural differentiation. Purified GFP positive cells in vitro exhibited expression of mRNA and proteins that characterized and matched the midbrain dopaminergic identity. Further proteomic analysis of enriched LMX1A+ cells identified several membrane associated proteins including CNTN2, enabling prospective isolation of LMX1A+ progenitor cells. Transplantation of hPSC-derived purified CNTN2+ progenitors enhanced dopamine release from transplanted cells in the host brain and alleviated Parkinson’s disease symptoms in animal models. Our study establishes an efficient approach for purification of large numbers of hPSC-derived dopaminergic progenitors for therapeutic applications.

C-terminal Domain Small Phosphatase 1 and MAP kinase reciprocally control REST stability and neuronal differentiation.

Project description:The RE1 Silencing Transcription Factor (REST) in stem cells represses hundreds of genes essential to neuronal function. During neurogenesis, REST is degraded in neural progenitors to promote subsequent elaboration of a mature neuronal phenotype. Prior studies indicate that part of the degradation mechanism involves phosphorylation of two sites in the C-terminus of REST that require activity of the E3 ubiquitin ligase, bTrCP. We identify a new proline-directed phosphorylation motif, at Serines 861/864 upstream of these sites, which is a substrate for the Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans Isomerase, Pin1, as well as the ERK1/2 kinases. Mutation at S861/864 stabilizes REST, as does inhibition of Pin1 activity. Interestingly, we find that C-Terminal Domain Small Phosphatase1 (CTDSP1) is recruited by REST to neuronal genes, is present in REST immunocomplexes, dephosphorylates S861/864 and stabilizes REST. Expression of a REST peptide containing S861/864 in neural progenitors inhibits terminal neuronal differentiation. Together with previous work indicating that both REST and CTDSP1 are expressed to high levels in stem cells and down regulated during neurogenesis, our results suggest that CTDSP1 activity stabilizes REST in stem cells, and that ERK dependent phosphorylation combined with Pin1 activity promotes REST degradation in neural progenitors.

A post-transcriptional program coordinated by CSDE1 prevents intrinsic neural differentiation of human embryonic stem cells

Project description:We compared hESCs with their neuronal counterpart to quantify differences in the expression of cold-shock domain containing proteins. While the transcriptional network of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) has been extensively studied, relatively little is known about how post-transcriptional modulations determine hESC function. RNA-binding proteins play central roles in RNA regulation, including translation and turnover. Here we show that the RNA-binding protein CSDE1 is highly expressed in hESCs to maintain their undifferentiated state and prevent default neural fate.

LncRNA RUS shapes the gene expression program towards neurogenesis

Project description:The evolution of brain complexity correlates with an increased expression of long, non-coding (lnc) RNAs in neuronal tissues. Although prominent examples illustrate the potential of lncRNAs to scaffold and target epigenetic regulators to chromatin loci, only few cases have been described to function during neurogenesis. We present a first functional characterization of the lncRNA LINC01322, which we term RUS for ‘RNA upstream of Slitrk3’. The RUS gene is well conserved in mammals by sequence and synteny next to the neurodevelopmental gene Slitrk3. RUS is exclusively expressed in neural cells and its expression increases along with neuronal markers during neuronal differentiation of mouse embryonic cortical neural stem cells. Depletion of RUS locks neuronal precursors in an intermediate state towards neuronal differentiation, with arrested cell cycle and increased apoptosis. RUS associates with chromatin in the vicinity of genes involved in neurogenesis, most of which change their expression upon RUS depletion. The identification of a range of epigenetic regulators as specific RUS interactors suggests that the lncRNA may mediate gene activation and repression in a highly context-dependent manner.
