Temporarily epigenetic repression in Bergmann glia regulates the migration of Granule cells (ChIP-seq)

ABSTRACT: Forming tight interaction with both Purkinje and granule cells (GCs), Bergmann glia (BG) are essential for cerebellar morphogenesis and neuronal homeostasis. However, how BG act in this process is unclear without comprehensively transcriptomic landscape of BG. Here, high temporal-resolution investigation of transcriptomes with FACS-sorted BG revealed the dynamic of genes within given functions and pathways enabled BG to assist neural migration and construct neuron-glia network. We found the peak time of GCs migration (P7-10) was strikingly coincided with the downregulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) related genes by prevailing transcriptional repression, and the disrupting of which by Setdb1 ablation at P7-10 in BG led to the significant migration defect of GCs by abnormal ECM expression emphasizing the criticality of Nfix-Setdb1 mediated H3K9me3 repressive complex for the precise regulation of GCs migration in vivo. Thus, BG’s transcriptomic landscapes offer an insight into the mechanism by which BG are in-depth integrated in cerebellar neural network.

Roles of Cdc42 and Rac in Bergmann glia during cerebellar corticogenesis (WT_primary_astrocyte)

Project description:Bergmann glia (BG) are important in the inward type of radial migration of cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs). However, details regarding the functions of Cdc42 and Rac in BG for radial migration of CGN are unknown. To examine the roles of Cdc42 and Rac in BG during cerebellar corticogenesis, mice with a single deletion of Cdc42 or Rac1 and those with double deletions of Cdc42 and Rac1 under control of the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) promoter: GFAP-Cre;Cdc42flox/flox (Cdc42-KO), GFAP–Cre;Rac1flox/flox (Rac1-KO), and GFAP-Cre;Cdc42 flox/flox;Rac1flox/flox (Cdc42/Rac1-DKO) mice, were generated. Both Cdc42-KO and Rac1-KO mice, but more obviously Cdc42-KO mice, had disturbed alignment of BG in the Purkinje cell layer (PCL). We found that Cdc42-KO, but not Rac1-KO, induced impaired radial migration of CGNs in the late phase of radial migration, leading to retention of CGNs in the inferior half of the molecular layer (ML). Cdc42-KO, but not Rac1-KO, mice also showed aberrantly aligned Purkinje cells (PCs). These phenotypes were exacerbated in Cdc42/Rac1-DKO mice. Alignment of BG radial fibers in the ML and BG endfeet at the pial surface of the cerebellum evaluated by GFAP staining was disturbed and weak in Cdc42/Rac1-DKO mice, respectively. Our data indicate that that Cdc42 and Rac, but predominantly Cdc42, in BG play important roles during the late phase of radial migration of CGNs. We also report here that Cdc42 is involved in gliophilic migration of CGNs, in contrast to Rac, which is more closely connected to regulating neurophilic migration.

Single-cell gene expression data from Bergmann glial cells of mouse cerebellum

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.

Zeb2 is Essential for Bergmann Glial Development and Cerebellar Organization

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.

RNA-seq Analysis of Wild Type and Ptpn11-deficient cerebellar Transcriptomes

Project description:We have recently discovered that deletion of Ptpn11, which codes for protein tyrosine phosphatase Shp2, blocks Bergmann glia (BG) formation and cerebellar foliation, whereas expressing a constitutively active Mek1 (Map2k1), Mek1DD, reverses the Ptpn11-deficient phenotypes, uncovering a previously unappreciated role of BG in folding of the cerebellar cortex. Relatively little is known regarding to the BG induction. The goal of the study was to determine molecular features of newly generated BG. To identify transcripts enriched in nascent BG, we performed RNA-seq of microdissected cerebellar tissues from wild type (WT), En1cre/+;Ptpn11F/F (Ptpn11-cKO), and En1cre/+;Ptpn11F/F;R26Mek1DD/+ (Ptpn11-cKO;MEK) embryos at E12.5, E13.5, and E14.5. As BG are initially formed at E13.5, we reasoned that BG-enriched transcripts should be increased from E12.5 to E14.5, decreased in Ptpn11-cKO cerebella, and restored in Ptpn11-cKO;MEK cerebella. By intersecting differentially expressed (DE) genes based on the above-mentioned assumptions, we wanted to identify genes that are specifically expressed in BG and affected by Ptpn11 deletion. Conclusions: though RNA-seq and subsequent validation, we have successfully identified genes that enriched in nascent BG in the developing mouse cerebellum.
