Single cell sequencing of the hippocampal niche

ABSTRACT: Adult neurogenesis in the murine dentate gyrus occurs in a specialized microenvironment that sustains the generation of neurons during life. To fully understand adult neurogenesis, it is essential to determine the neural stem cell (NSC) and progenitor developmental stages, their molecular determinants, and the niche cellular and molecular composition. We report on a single cell RNA sequencing study of the hippocampal niche, performed by isolating all the non-neuronal cell populations. Our analysis provides a comprehensive description of the dentate gyrus cells and allows the identification of exclusive cell type-specific markers. We define the developmental stages and transcriptional dynamics of NSCs and progenitors, and find that while NSCs represent a heterogeneous cellular continuum, progenitors can be grouped in distinct subtypes. We determine the oligodendrocyte lineage and transcriptional dynamics, and describe microglia transcriptional profile and activation state. The combined data constitutes a valuable resource to understand regulatory mechanisms of adult neurogenesis.

Excitatory amino acid transporter 1 supports adult hippocampal neural stem cell self-renewal.

Project description:Within the adult mammalian dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus, glutamate stimulates neural stem cell (NSC) self-renewing proliferation, providing a link between adult neurogenesis and local circuit activity. Here, we show that glutamate-induced self-renewal of adult DG NSCs requires glutamate transport via excitatory amino acid transporter 1 (EAAT1) to stimulate lipogenesis. Loss of EAAT1 prevented glutamate-induced self-renewing proliferation of NSCs in vitro and in vivo, with little role evident for canonical glutamate receptors. Transcriptomics and further pathway manipulation revealed that glutamate simulation of NSCs relied on EAAT1 transport-stimulated lipogenesis, likely secondary to intracellular Ca2+ release and glutamate metabolism. Our findings demonstrate a critical, direct role for EAAT1 in stimulating NSCs to support neurogenesis in adulthood, thereby providing insights into a non-canonical mechanism by which NSCs sense and respond their niche.

Combined multiphoton live-cell imaging and molecular systems approaches reveal mosaic contribution of dynamic transiently signaling INPs to the adult Dentate Gyrus NSC niche

Project description:Here we directly compare for the first time how the longstanding static model of mouse Dentate Gyrus (DG) development compares with a comprehensive high-resolution live-cell multiphoton (live-MPM) imaging approach. We took advantage of multiple fluorescent protein-based cell-type specific reporters to identify Neural Stem Cells (NSC), Intermediate Neurogenic Progenitors (INPs), and Granule Neurons (GNs) to generate live 4D cellular datasets across embryonic, postnatal and adult ages. Live-MPM revealed that INPs and NSCs migrated long distances along multiple routes to seed the SGZ from multiple directions, and from mosaic progenitor zones along the septo-temporal axis of the hippocampus. We found that dynamic INPs processes and interactions contributed to the architecture of both transient and permanent NSC niches during embryonic development, and that INP cellular plasticity is maintained in the adult SGZ NSC niche. We also used a Molecular Systems (MS) approach to determine the basis for maintained INP cellular plasticity that revealed an overlapping signaling network infrastructure based largely on Rho-family mediated regulation of cytoskeletal dynamics. Our combined strategies revealed that dynamic INPs are a major molecular signaling transition state in the adult SGZ, and that Tbr2 expression defines the initial stage of GN commitment. Our novel findings reveal fundamental new insight into one of the most well studied brain regions key for normal cognitive function, and the importance of analyzing the development of live stem cell niches in vivo. In concert with live-cell imaging, we used microarray analysis to identify genes that may be involved in the development of the Dentate Gyrus NSC niche.

Epigenetic maintenance of neural stem cell quiescence in the adult mouse hippocampus via Setd1a [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Quiescence, a hallmark of adult neural stem cells (NSCs), is required for maintaining the NSC pool to support life-long continuous neurogenesis in the adult dentate gyrus (DG). Whether epigenetic mechanisms can maintain NSC quiescence over long term in the adult brain is not well-understood. Here we showed that adult mice with haploinsufficiency of Setd1a, a schizophrenia risk gene encoding a histone H3K4 methyltransferase, exhibited substantially enlarged DG with increased number of dentate granule cells. Deletion of Setd1a specifically in quiescent NSCs in the adult DG promoted their activation and neurogenesis, which was countered by inhibition of histone demethylase LSD1. Mechanistically, RNA sequencing and CUT & RUN analyses of cultured quiescent adult NSCs revealed Setd1a deletion-induced transcriptional changes and Setd1a targets, among which down-regulation of Bhlhe40 promoted quiescent NSC activation in the adult DG. Together, our study revealed a Setd1a-dependent epigenetic mechanism that sustains NSC quiescence in the adult DG.

Lysophosphatidic acid receptor expression identifies a pure population of adult hippocampal stem cells with an immune cell-related transcriptional profile

Project description:Lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1 (LPA1) is a phospholipid which has been linked to adult hippocampal neurogenesis and learning deficits. Here we investigated whether LPA acts directly on the hippocampal stem cells and whether LPA1 could be a functional marker for their prospective isolation. Our results reveal that exogenous LPA increases precursor potential in vitro and net neurogenesis in vivo, an effect that is mediated by Akt activation. Using a mouse reporter line, immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry followed by in vitro cell culture, we show that, in contrast to the subventricular zone, neural precursor cells in the adult mouse dentate gyrus express LPA1-GFP. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting for LPA1-GFP in combination with Prominin-1 and epidermal growth factor receptor expression allowed the efficient isolation of a very pure population of hippocampal stem cells. Transcriptional analysis revealed a profile suggesting immune response and cytokine signaling as molecular regulators of adult hippocampal neural stem cells. RNA from cells sorted (FACS) from the dentate gyrus of adult LPA1-GFP (lysophosphatidic acid receptor) reporter mice. Sorting was based on the markers EGFR (Egfr), LPA1 (Lpar1) and Prominin1 (Prom1). From each of 4 replicates, 3 populations (stem cells, progenitor cells, niche cells) were sequenced.

Histone lysine demethylase JMJD3/KDM6B is required for the establishment of adult hippocampal neurogenesis

Project description:Mutations in the JMJD3 (KDM6B) chromatin regulator are causally associated with autism spectrum disorder and syndromic intellectual disability, but the neurodevelopmental roles of this histone 3 lysine 27 (H3K27) demethylase are poorly understood. Neural stem cells (NSCs) in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) generate new granule neurons throughout life, and deficits in DG neurogenesis are associated with cognitive and behavioral problems. Here we show that Jmjd3 is required for the establishment of adult neurogenesis in the mouse DG. Conditional deletion of Jmjd3 in embryonic DG precursors results in an adult hippocampus that is essentially devoid of NSCs. While early postnatal mice with Jmjd3-deletion have near normal numbers of DG NSCs, at later stages, Jmjd3-deleted NSCs fail to propagate normally. In addition to the loss of NSCs during postnatal development, neurogenesis from Jmjd3-deleted NSCs is impaired, corresponding to defective neurogenic gene expression. Without Jmjd3, NeuroD2 and Bcl11b(Ctip2) are not properly expressed and exhibit increased levels of H3K27me3, underscoring the role of Jmjd3 in the regulation of transcription for neuronal differentiation. Thus, these data indicate that Jmjd3 plays dual roles in postnatal DG neurogenesis, being critical for the establishment of the NSC pool as well as the differentiation of young DG granule neurons. More broadly, our results suggest a neurodevelopmental link between JMJD3 mutations and hippocampal dysfunction, providing new insights into how mutations in chromatin regulators may contribute to learning disorders.

Intracrine Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Maintains Hippocampal Neural Stem Cell Quiescence

Project description:In the dentate gyrus (DG) of the adult mouse hippocampus, neural stem cells (NSCs) balance self-renewal and differentiation to produce neurons that support hippocampal function. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a well-known supporting factor for adult neurogenesis, but conflicting studies have left it uncertain how VEGF signals to NSCs. Here, we identified a VEGF-VEGFR2 intracrine signaling mechanism within adult DG NSCs that prevents their exhaustion. We show both in vitro and in vivo that NSC-VEGF loss caused cell-autonomous exhaustion of adult DG NSCs. In contrast, extracellular VEGF was neither necessary nor sufficient to maintain NSC quiescence or to stimulate VEGFR2 signaling, most likely due to sheddase-mediated cleavage of extracellular VEGFR2 ligand binding domains. Our findings support an exclusively intracellular mechanism for VEGF signaling in adult DG NSCs, thereby providing resolution to previously conflicting studies and suggesting cellular source can dictate the functional impact of soluble ligands in DG NSCs.

Single cell RNA sequencing of aging neural progenitors reveals loss of excitatory neuron potential and a population with transcriptional immune response (scRNA-Seq)

Project description:In the adult murine brain, neural stem cells (NSCs) reside in two main niches, the dentate gyrus (DG), and the subventricular zone (SVZ). In the DG, NSCs give rise to intermediate progenitors that differentiate into excitatory neurons, while progenitors in the SVZ migrate to the olfactory bulb (OB) where they mainly differentiate into inhibitory interneurons. Neurogenesis, the production of new neurons, persists throughout life but decrease dramatically during aging, concomitantly with increased inflammation. Many cell types, including microglia, undergo dramatic transcriptional changes but few such changes have been detected in neural progenitors. Furthermore, transcriptional profiles in progenitors from different neurogenic regions have not been compared at single cell level, and little is known about how they are affected by age-related inflammation. We have generated a single cell RNA sequencing dataset enriched for intermediate progenitors, which revealed that most aged neural progenitors only acquire minor transcriptional changes. However, progenitors set to become excitatory neurons decrease faster than others. In addition, a population in the aged SVZ, not detected in the OB, acquired major transcriptional activation related to immune responses. This suggests that differences in age related neurogenic decline between regions is not due to tissue differences but rather cell type specific intrinsic transcriptional programs, and that subset of neuroblasts in the SVZ react strongly to age related inflammatory cues.

Expression data of control and adult-induced Bcl11b mutant dentate gyrus granule cells 4 weeks after induction.

Project description:Bcl11b plays an important role in postnatal dentate gyrus development and adult neurogenesis. To determine its role in adult neurogenesis independant from postnatal development the Bcl11b mutation was induced at the age of 2 months. Microarray analysis was performed on RNA isolated 4 weeks after the induction of the Bcl11b mutation to determine Bcl11b target genes.
