Fetal Growth Restriction Impairs Hippocampal Neurogenesis and Cognition via Tet1 in Offspring

ABSTRACT: Fetal growth restriction (FGR) increases the risk for impaired cognitive function later in life. However, the precise mechanisms remain elusive. Using dexamethasone-induced FGR and protein restriction-influenced FGR mouse models, we observed learning and memory deficits in adult FGR offspring. FGR induces decreased hippocampal neurogenesis from the early postnatal period to adulthood by reducing the proliferation of neural stem cells (NSCs). We further found a persistent decrease of Tet1 expression in hippocampal NSCs of FGR mice. Mechanistically, Tet1 downregulation results in hypermethylation of the Dll3 and Notch1 promoters and inhibition of Notch signaling, leading to reduced NSC proliferation. Overexpression of Tet1 activates Notch signaling, offsets the decline in neurogenesis, and enhances learning and memory abilities in FGR offspring. Our data indicate that a long-term decrease in Tet1/Notch signaling in hippocampal NSCs contributes to impaired neurogenesis following FGR and could serve as potential targets for the intervention of FGR-related cognitive disorders.

Epigenetic and transcriptomic profiling of neural stem cells after midazolam exposure

Project description:Here we show that early-life exposure to midazolam (MDZ), a widely used drug in pediatric anesthesia, persistently alters chromatin accessibility and expression of quiescence-associated genes in neural stem cells (NSCs) in mouse hippocampus. The alterations led to a continuous restriction of NSC proliferation toward adulthood, resulting in reduction of neurogenesis associated with the impairment of hippocampal-dependent memory functions. Moreover, we found that voluntary exercise restored hippocampal neurogenesis accompanied by the normalization of MDZ-perturbed transcriptome and ameliorated declined cognitive ability in MDZ-exposed mice.

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.

ESC-sEVs rejuvenate aging hippocampal NSCs by transferring SMADs to regulate the MYT1-Egln3-Sirt1 axis

Project description:Tissue stem cell senescence leads to stem cell exhaustion, which results in tissue homeostasis imbalance and a decline in regeneration capacity. However, whether neural stem cells (NSCs) senescence occurs and causes neurogenesis reduction during aging is unknown. In this study, mice at different ages were used to detect age-related hippocampal NSCs (H-NSCs) senescence, as well as the function and mechanism of embryonic stem cells derived small extracellular vesicles (ESC-sEVs) in rejuvenating H-NSCs senescence. We found a progressive cognitive impairment, as well as age-related H-NSCs senescence, in mice. ESC-sEVs treatment significantly alleviated H-NSCs senescence, recovered compromised self-renewal and neurogenesis capacities, and reversed cognitive impairment. Transcriptome analysis revealed that Myelin transcription factor 1 (MYT1) is downregulated in senescent H-NSCs but upregulated by ESC-sEV treatment. In addition, knockdown of MYT1 in young H-NSCs accelerated age-related phenotypes and impaired proliferation and differentiation capacities. Mechanistically, ESC-sEVs rejuvenated senescent H-NSCs partly by transferring SMAD4 and SMAD5 to activate MYT1, which downregulated Egln3, followed by activation of HIF2α, NAMPT, and Sirt1 successively. Taken together, our results indicated that H-NSCs senescence caused cellular exhaustion, neurogenesis reduction and cognitive impairment during aging, which can be reversed by ESC-sEVs. Thus, ESC-sEVs may be promising therapeutic candidates for age-related diseases.

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 3 (VEGFR3) controls hippocampal neural stem cell conversion into progenitor cells

Project description:Neural stem cells (NSCs) continuously produce new neurons within the adult mammalian hippocampus. However, this process declines with age and this decline correlates with defects in cognitive function and mood. Molecular mechanisms that activate quiescent NSCs to generate progenitor cells in vivo remain poorly understood. Here we show that adult hippocampal NSCs express VEGFR3, a key regulator of vascular and neural development, and are activated by the VEGFR3 ligand VEGF-C to enter the cell cycle and convert into progenitor cells. Conditional deletion of Vegfr3 in NSCs leads to a decline in hippocampal neurogenesis. Functionally, this is associated with increased anxiety behavior and compromised NSC activation in response to VEGF-C and physical activity. These findings establish VEGFR3 expression as a hallmark of adult mouse NSCs and demonstrate a specific requirement for VEGF-C/VEGFR signaling in NSC activation. Enhancing VEGFR3 signaling by VEGF-C may improve neurogenesis and mood during aging.

A single-cell transcriptomic analysis of the mouse hippocampus after voluntary exercise

Project description:Exercise has been recognized as a beneficial factor for cognitive health, particularly in relation to the hippocampus, a vital brain region responsible for learning and memory. Previous research has demonstrated that exercise-mediated improvement of learning and memory in humans and rodents correlates with increased adult neurogenesis and processes related to enhanced synaptic plasticity. Nevertheless, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. With the aim to further elucidate these mechanisms we provide a comprehensive dataset of the mouse hippocampal transcriptome at the single-cell level after four weeks of voluntary wheel-running. Our analysis provides a number of interesting observations. For example, the results suggest that exercise affects adult neurogenesis by accelerating the maturation of a subpopulation of Prdm16-expressing neurons. Moreover, we uncover the existence of an intricate crosstalk among multiple vital signaling pathways such as NF-κB, Wnt/β-catenin, Notch, retinoic acid (RA) pathways altered upon exercise in a specific cluster of excitatory neurons within the Cornu Ammonis (CA) region of the hippocampus. In conclusion, our study provides an important dataset and sheds further light on the molecular changes induced by exercise in the hippocampus. These findings have implications for developing targeted interventions aimed at optimizing cognitive health and preventing age-related cognitive decline.

A paternal methyl donor-rich diet altered cognitive and neural functions in offspring mice [expression profiling]

Project description:Evaluation of transgenerational influence of paternal dietary methyl substrates on offspring and grand-offspring brain and behavior Dietary intake of methyl donors, such as folic acid and methionine, shows considerable intra-individual variation in human populations. While it is recognized that maternal departures from the optimum of dietary methyl donor intake can increase the risk for mental health issues and neurological disorders in offspring, it has not been explored whether paternal dietary methyl donor intake influences behavioral and cognitive functions in the next generation. Here, we report that elevated paternal dietary methyl donor intake in a mouse model, transiently applied prior to mating, resulted in offspring animals (MD F1 mice) with deficits in hippocampus-dependent learning and memory, impaired hippocampal synaptic plasticity and reduced hippocampal theta oscillations. Gene expression analyses revealed altered expression of the methionine adenosyltransferase Mat2a and BK channel subunit Kcnmb2, which was associated with changes in Kcnmb2 promoter methylation in MD F1 mice. These phenomena did not extend into the F2 offspring generation. Together, our data indicate that paternal dietary factors influence cognitive and neural functions in the offspring generation.

Declining Lamin B1 expression mediates age-dependent decreases of hippocampal stem cell activity

Project description:Neural stem cells (NSCs) generate neurons throughout life in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG). With advancing age levels of neurogenesis sharply drop, which has been associated with a decline in hippocampal memory function. However, cell-intrinsic mechanisms mediating age-related changes in NSC activity remain largely unknown. Here we show that the nuclear lamina protein Lamin B1 (LB1) is downregulated with age in mouse hippocampal NSCs. LB1 is cross-regulated with Sun-domain containing protein 1 (SUN1), previously implicated in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), a disease of premature aging. LB1 and SUN1 govern the strength of a diffusion barrier in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that is associated with the segregation of aging factors during NSC divisions. Balancing the levels of LB1 and SUN1 in aged NSCs restores the ER-diffusion barrier. Virus-based restoration of LB1 expression in aged NSCs enhances stem cell activity in vitro and increases progenitor cell proliferation and neurogenesis in vivo. Thus, we here identify a novel mechanism associated with the age-related decline of neurogenesis in the mammalian hippocampus.

Developmental Cytoplasmic-to-Nuclear Translocation of RNA-Binding Protein HuR Is Required for Adult Neurogenesis

Project description:Although neurogenesis in the adult brain recapitulates processes that occur during embryonic development, adult neurogenesis exhibits distinct characteristics from its embryonic counterpart. However, the intrinsic mechanism underlying the differential regulation of neurogenesis between these two stages remains unclear. Herein, we show that the ablation of RNA-binding protein HuR in neural stem cells (NSCs) impairs adult, but not embryonic, neurogenesis. HuR is predominantly expressed in the cytoplasm of embryonic NSCs but translocates into the nucleus of adult NSCs. Transcriptomic analysis of HuR-deficient adult NSCs revealed that nuclear HuR primarily regulates alternative splicing of numerous premRNA transcripts, including focal adhesion kinase (FAK). HuR-deficient adult NSCs generate increased FAK mRNA isoforms with shorter 5’ UTRs, leading to enhanced FAK mRNA translation and hyperactivated FAK signaling, and inhibition of FAK ameliorates defective adult neurogenesis and impaired hippocampus-dependent learning in HuR-deficient mice. Taken together, these findings reveal novel mechanistic insights into the differential regulation of embryonic and adult neurogenesis through developmental cytoplasmic-to-nuclear translocation of HuR in NSCs.
