Project description:Bergmann glial cells of the vertebrate cerebellum play essential roles in the development and maintenance of cerebellar structure and function. During development, Bergmann glia provide structural support to the expanding cerebellar anlage and also serve as guides for migrating neurons (granule cells). As the cerebellum matures, Bergmann glia become important in dendritic arborization, synapse maintenance and synaptic function. The molecular mechanisms underlying these diverse and important functions of Bergmann glia remain largely unknown. We used microarray analysis to examine global gene expression in individual Bergmann glial cells derived at P6 (a time of extensive neuronal migration and cerebellar growth) and at P30 (when cerebellar development is complete and Bergmann glia play important roles at synapses). After gentle dissociation of cerebellar tissue derived from mice expressing GFP under the GFAP gene promoter (GFAP-GFP mice) (Zhuo, L., et al., 1997, Developmental biology), single GFP-positive Bergmann glial cells were aspirated into microcapillary tubes. Amplified cDNAs were prepared from single cells using RT-PCR and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 expression arrays (one array per cell). Five P6 cells and five P30 cells were used to generate the data presented in this study.

Project description:Cerebellar circuitry is critical for balance and motor control among a wide array of functions and largely consists of granule and Purkinje neurons. Bergmann glia in the cerebellum form distinct morphological structures that facilitate granule neuron migration during development and that maintain the cerebellar organization and functional integrity. At present, molecular control of the formation and morphogenesis of Bergmann glia remains obscure. In this study, we found that Zeb2 (a.k.a. Sip1 or Zfhx1b), a Mowat-Wilson syndrome-associated transcriptional regulator, is highly restricted to Bergmann glia and is essential for their development and maturation. The mice with Zeb2 ablation in the cerebellar neural progenitor exhibit dysgenesis of cerebellar cortical lamination and locomotion defects. Deletion of Zeb2 markedly reduced Bergmann glial proliferation, differentiation and the establishment of the normal radial scaffold, disrupting migration of granule cell progenitors from external to internal granular layers. Transcriptome profiling indicated that Zeb2 regulates multiple pathways including FGF and Notch signaling as well as axonal guidance cues including Netrin G2 and Gdf10 to control Bergmann glial development. Our data reveal that Zeb2 acts as a transcriptional integrator of diverse signaling pathways to regulate the formation and morphogenesis of Bergmann glia ensuring maintenance of cerebellar integrity, suggesting that Zeb2 dysfunction in Bergmann glia might contribute to motor deficits in Mowat-Wilson syndrome.

Project description:The loss of Tmem106b results in an age-dependent loss of cerebellar Purkinje cells accompanied with motor function deficits. Tmem106b deficiency also results in lysosomal enlargement in both Purkinje cells and microglia, and increased neuroinflammation including complement system activation. These data suggest that, in addition to myelination, Tmem106b also plays important role in maintaining the health and survival of cerebellar Purkinje cells during aging.

Project description:Gene expression profiles generated from human tumor cells laser-microdissected from surgical samples of seven choroid plexus papillomas (Grade I WHO) as eight samples of epithelial cells lasermicrodissected from normal choroid plexus obtained at autopsy. Choroid plexus tumors are rare pediatric brain tumors derrived from the choroid plexus epithelium. Gene expression profiles of lasermicrodissected tumor cells from 7 individual choroid plexus tumor samples obtained at surgery were compared to gene expression profiles from non-neoplastic choroid plexus epithelial cells lasermicrodissected from normal non-neoplastic choroid plexus obtained at autopsy (Am J Surg Pathol. 2006 Jan;30(1):66-74.) in order to identfy genes differentially expressed in choroid plexus tumor cells.

By studying the gene expression profiles of normal choroid plexus, choroid plexus papilloma and choroid plexus carcinoma in mice, we aim to gain a better understanding of the biology of choroid plexus tumors

Project description:The choroid plexus (ChP) is a secretory tissue that produces cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) secreted into the ventricular system. It is a monolayer of secretory, multiciliated epithelial cells derived from neuroepithelial progenitors and overlying a stroma of mesenchymal cells of mesodermal origin. Zfp423, encoding a Kruppel-type zinc finger transcription factor essential for cerebellar development and mutated in rare cases of cerebellar vermis hypoplasia / Joubert syndrome and other ciliopathies, is expressed in the hindbrain roof plate (RP), from which the IV ventricleChP arises, and, later, in mesenchymal cells giving rise to the stroma and leptomeninges.Zfp423mutants display a marked reduction of the hindbrain ChP (hChP), which 1) fails to express established markers of its secretory function and genes implicated in its development and maintenance (Lmx1a, Otx2); 2) shows a perturbed expression of signaling pathways previously unexplored in hChP patterning (Wnt3); 3) displays a lack of multiciliated epithelial cells and a profound dysregulation of master genes of multiciliogenesis (Gmnc). Our results propose Zfp423as a master gene and one of the earliest known determinants of hChP development.

Project description:Choroid plexus secretes cerebrospinal fluid important for brain development and homeostasis. The OTX2 homeoprotein is critical for choroid plexus development and remains highly expressed in adult choroid plexus. Through RNA sequencing analyses of constitutive and conditional knockdown adult mouse models, we reveal putative roles for OTX2 in choroid plexus function, including cell signaling and adhesion, and show that it regulates the expression of factors secreted into cerebrospinal fluid, notably transthyretin. We also show that Otx2 expression impacts choroid plexus immune and stress responses, and also affects splicing which leads to changes in mRNA isoforms of proteins implicated in oxidative stress response and DNA repair. Through mass spectrometry analysis of OTX2 protein partners in the choroid plexus, and in known non-cell autonomous target regions such as visual cortex and subventricular zone, we identified putative targets involved in cell adhesion, chromatin structure and RNA processing. Thus, OTX2 retains important roles in choroid plexus function and brain homeostasis throughout life.

Project description:Why individuals with Down Syndrome (DS, trisomy 21) are particularly susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 induced disease remains largely unclear. The choroid plexus secrets the cerebrospinal fluid and strongly expresses the ACE2 receptor and the chromosome 21 encoded TMPRSS2 protease. To investigate the role of the choroid plexus in SARS-CoV-2 central nervous system infection in DS, we established a new type of brain organoid from DS and isogenic euploid control iPSC that consists of a core of appropriately patterned functional cortical neuronal cell types that is surrounded by a patent and functional choroid plexus (CPCOs). Remarkably, DS-CPCOs not only recapitulated abnormal features of DS cortical development but also revealed defects in ciliogenesis and epithelial cell polarity of the developing choroid plexus. We next demonstrate that the choroid plexus layer facilitates SARS-CoV-2 replication and infection of cortical neuronal cells, and that this is increased in DS-CPCOs. We further show that inhibition of TMPRSS2 activity in DS-CPCOs inhibits SARS-CoV-2 infectivity. We conclude that CPCOs are a useful model for dissecting the role of the choroid plexus in euploid and DS forebrain development and enables screening for therapeutics that can inhibit SARS-CoV-2 induced neuro-pathogenesis.
