Project description:Human embryonic stem cells with a GFP reporter knock-in into the NKX2.1 locus were differentiated and purified by FACS sorting for global gene expression analysis. Directed differentiation from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) has seen significant progress in recent years. Most differentiated populations, however, exhibit immature properties of an early embryonic stage, raising concerns about their ability to model and treat disease. Here, we report the directed differentiation of hPSCs into medial ganglionic eminence (MGE)-like progenitors and their maturation into forebrain type interneurons. We find that early stage progenitors progress via a radial glial-like stem cell enriched in the human fetal brain. Both in vitro and post-transplantation into the rodent cortex, the MGE-like cells develop into GABAergic interneuron subtypes with mature physiological properties along a prolonged intrinsic timeline of up to seven months, mimicking endogenous human neural development. MGE-derived cortical interneuron deficiencies are implicated in a broad range of neurodevelopmental and degenerative disorders, highlighting the importance of these results for modeling human neural development and disease. Human embryonic stem cells with a GFP reporter knock-in into the NKX2.1 locus were differentiated for 20, 35, and 55 days in vitro and GFP+ cells were purified by FACS sorting. Total RNA was prepared from each timepoint and compared to undifferentiated human embryonic stem cells. hESC = one sample and three technical replicates. D20 = three independent samples. D35 = one sample and two technical replicates. D55 = one sample and one technical replicate.

Project description:This study aimed to understand the role of the transcriptional regulator Prdm16 in the development of cortical interneurons in the mouse. Prdm16 was knocked out in cells derived from the medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) by using an Nkx2.1-Cre driver line in combination with a line carrying floxed Prdm16 alleles and with a Cre-dependent tdTomato reporter line (Ai14). The sequencing data compares the gene expression profiles of dissected MGEs at embryonic day 14 (E14), a stage when cortical interneurons are being generated from MGE progenitors.

Project description:We utilized single-cell RNA-sequencing to identify candidate genetic targets of Mafb and c-Maf in the MGE-lineage using Nkx2.1-Cre generated neonatal wildtype (WT) and conditional Mafb/c-Maf double deletion mutant (cDKO) animals. We identified genes that likely contribute to Maf cDKO's phenotypes, which include preferential parvalbumin interneuron loss, overproduction of hippocampal interneurons and neurite outgrowth defects.

Project description:Nkx2.1 is a critical regulator of mammalian lung development. It is expressed in epithelial cells at the initiation of lung organogenesis, becoming progressively restricted during development to bronchiolar and alveolar type II epithelial cells. In humans, it is a common marker of carcinomas of lung and thyroid origin and is highly amplified in 10-15% of lung adenocarcinomas. Despite its key role in development and disease only a few genes directly regulated by Nkx2.1 are known. To identify direct Nkx2.1target genes and pathways controlled by this transcription factor in vivo we analyzed, by chromatin immuno-precipitation (chip)-on-chip method, Nkx2.1 binding to DNA cis-elements in developing mouse lung. We analyzed embryonic day E11.5 lungs, when Nkx2.1 expressing cells are undergoing predominantly proliferation, and day E19.5, when Nkx2.1 expressing cells are undergoing predominantly differentiation. Many highly bound targets are known and well described, such as surfactant proteins and secretoglobins. Unique or common target genes involved in a variety of developmental and tumorigenic pathways were identified at each developmental time point. Positive regulation of cell proliferation was the highest overrepresented biological process at E11.5 while ion transport was the highest overrepresented biological process at E19.5. New identified targets include proliferation related genes such as E2F3, Met, Ccnb1, and Ccnb2. Nkx2.1 downregulation in mouse epithelial and human carcinoma cell lines reduced cell proliferation by arresting cells in the G2/M phase. Reduced expression of Nkx2.1 target genes in both cell lines supports a direct role of Nkx2.1 in regulation of cell proliferation genes. The identification of these transcriptional regulatory pathways in vivo aid us to understand Nkx2.1 function in lung development and link it to disease, since many of the identified targets are aberrantly up regulated in cancer cells. Developing mouse lung, 2 developmental time points E11.5 and E19.5, genomic DNA fragments immunoprecipitated with a-Nkx2.1 (07-601, Upstate-Millipore) vs input, E11.5, 2 biological replicates and E19.5, 3 biological replicates

Project description:In the mammalian cortex, about 60% of GABAergic interneurons, mainly including parvalbumin-expressing (PV+) and somatostatin (SST+) interneurons are generated from the medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) in the subpallium and tangentially migrate to the cortex. Here we analyze the role of the Sp9 transcription factor in regulating the development of MGE-derived cortical interneurons. We show that SP9 is widely expressed in the MGE subventricular zone (SVZ) and in MGE-derived migrating interneurons. By analyzing Sp9 null and conditional mutant mice, we demonstrate that Sp9 promotes MGE progenitor proliferation in the SVZ and is required for the normal patterning of tangential migration and the laminar distribution of MGE-derived cortical GABAergic interneurons. Loss of Sp9 function results in a ~50% reduction of MGE-derived cortical interneurons, an ectopic aggregation of MGE-derived neurons in the embryonic ventral telencephalon, and an increased ratio of SST+/PV+ cortical interneurons. Finally, we provide evidence that Sp9 regulates MGE derived cortical interneuron development through promoting expression of the Lhx6 and Lhx8 transcription factors.

Project description:Organoid techniques provide unique platforms to model brain development and neurological disorders. While organoids recapitulating corticogenesis were established, a system modeling human medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) development, a critical ventral brain domain producing cortical interneurons and related lineages, remains to be developed. Here, we describe a system to generate MGE or cortex-specific organoids from human pluripotent stem cells. These organoids recapitulate the developments of MGE and cortex domains respectively. Population and single-cell transcriptomic profiling revealed transcriptional dynamics and lineage productions during MGE and cortical organoids development. Chromatin accessibility landscapes were found to be involved in this process. Furthermore, MGE and cortical organoids generated physiologically functional neurons and neuronal networks. Finally, we applied fusion organoids as a model to investigate human interneuron migration. Together, our study provides a new platform for generating domain-specific brain organoids, for modeling human interneuron migration, and offers deeper insight into molecular dynamics during human brain development.
