Emergence of neuronal diversity during vertebrate brain development

ABSTRACT: Neurogenesis comprises many steps from progenitor proliferation to neuronal differentiation and maturation. These processes are highly regulated, but the landscape of transcriptional changes underlying brain development are poorly characterized. Here, we describe a developmental single-cell RNA-seq catalog of ~220,000 zebrafish brain cells encompassing 12 stages from 12 hours post-fertilization to 15 days post-fertilization. We characterize known and novel gene markers for ~800 clusters and provide an overview of the diversification of neurons and progenitors across these timepoints. We also introduce an optimized version of the GESTALT lineage recorder that enables higher expression and recovery of Cas9-edited barcodes to query lineage segregation. Cell type characterization indicates that most embryonic neural progenitor states are transitory and transcriptionally distinct from neural progenitors of post-embryonic stages. Reconstruction of cell specification trajectories reveals that late-stage retinal neural progenitors transcriptionally overlap cell states observed in the embryo. The zebrafish brain development atlas provides a resource to define and manipulate specific subsets of neurons and to uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying vertebrate neurogenesis.

A post-transcriptional program coordinated by CSDE1 prevents intrinsic neural differentiation of human embryonic stem cells

Project description:While the transcriptional network of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) has been extensively studied, relatively little is known about how post-transcriptional modulations determine hESC function. RNA-binding proteins play central roles in RNA regulation, including translation and turnover. Here we show that the RNA-binding protein CSDE1 is highly expressed in hESCs to maintain their undifferentiated state and prevent default neural fate. Notably, loss of CSDE1 accelerates neural differentiation and potentiates neurogenesis. Conversely, ectopic expression of CSDE1 impairs neural differentiation. We find that CSDE1 post-transcriptionally modulates core components of multiple regulatory nodes of hESC identity, neuroectoderm commitment and neurogenesis. Among these key pro-neural/neuronal factors, CSDE1 binds fatty acid binding protein 7 (FABP7) and vimentin (VIM) mRNAs as well as transcripts involved in neuron projection development regulating their stability and translation. Thus, our results uncover CSDE1 as a central post-transcriptional regulator of hESC identity and neurogenesis.

A post-transcriptional program coordinated by CSDE1 prevents intrinsic neural differentiation of human embryonic stem cells

Project description:We compared hESCs with their neuronal counterpart to quantify differences in the expression of cold-shock domain containing proteins.

Meningeal cells contribute to postnatal cortical neurogenesis.

Project description:Postnatal brain neurogenesis in mammals is believed to be restricted to rare germinative remnants of the neuroepithelium. In this study, we discovered that, in the postnatal brain, a subset of embryonically derived progenitors is present in meningeal substructures. These cells migrate from the meningeal substructures to the retrosplenial and visual motor cortex and differentiate into (electrically) functional integrated neurons. Lineage tracing analysis revealed that this subset of neural progenitors originate largely from PDGFR+ cells. PDGFR-derived cells differentiate mostly into Satb2+ neurons in cortical layers I-IV. Thus, a reservoir of embryonically derived progenitors in the meninges contributes to postnatal cerebral cortical neurogenesis.

Chromatin Accessibility in Developing Human Brain

Project description:<p>Non-coding regions comprise most of the human genome and harbor a significant fraction of risk alleles for neuropsychiatric diseases, yet their functions remain poorly defined. We created a high-resolution map of non-coding elements involved in human cortical neurogenesis by contrasting chromatin accessibility and gene expression in the germinal zone and cortical plate of the developing cerebral cortex. To obtain a high resolution depiction of chromatin structure and gene expression in developing human fetal cortex, we dissected the post-conception week (PCW) 15-17 human neocortex into two major anatomical divisions to distinguish between proliferating neural progenitors and post mitotic neurons: (1) GZ: the neural progenitor-enriched region encompassing the ventricular zone (VZ), subventricular zone (SVZ), and intermediate zone (IZ) and (2) CP: the neuron-enriched region containing the subplate (SP), cortical plate (CP), and marginal zone (MZ). Tissues were obtained from three independent donors and three to four technical replicates from each tissue were processed for ATAC-seq to define the landscape of accessible chromatin and RNA-seq for genome-wide gene expression profiling.</p>

mRNA and miRNA expression analysis of developmental ethanol exposure in zebrafish

Project description:During early neurogenesis, multiple whole animal gene expression profiling studies revealed widespread changes in developmental mRNA and miRNA abundance in ethanol-exposed embryos. Consistent with a role for miRNAs in neurobehavioral development, miRNA target prediction analyses identified multiple miRNAs misexpressed in the ethanol exposed cohorts that were also predicted to target inversely expressed transcripts known to influence brain morphogenesis. [mRNA] A twelve chip study using total RNA recovered from pools of 75 tropical 5D zebrafish embryos at 24 hours post fertilization (hpf). Embryos were exposed to control embryo medium, 100 mM ethanol, or 300 mM ethanol from 4-24 hpf, with four-fold biological redundancy per condition. A single 12x135K Nimblegen array was used to measure the expression level of 38,489 genes from Danio rerio using 60-mer probes, with three-fold technical redundancy. [miRNA] A twelve chip study using miRNA recovered from pools of 75 tropical 5D zebrafish embryos at 12, 24, 36, and 48 hours post fertilization (hpf). Embryos were exposed to control embryo medium or 300 mM ethanol from 4-24 hpf, with two-fold biological redundancy per condition. Control samples were pooled and hybridized to a single array. 12 miRZebrafish arrays (based on MirBase release 12.0) were used to measure the expression level of 218 mature miRNA from Danio rerio, with 12-fold technical redundancy.

Transcription profiling of Zebrafish 24hpf mutant sk8

Project description:The production of functional mRNA involves multiple steps including transcription initiation, elongation, and termination. spt5 encodes a conserved essential transcription elongation factor that controls RNAPII processivity in vitro and co-localizes with RNAPII in vivo. We used microarrays to detail the global expression of gene expression at 24 hours post fertilization in wild-type and Spt5 mutant (fog-sk8) to identify Spt5 transcriptionally dependent genes and affected pathways. Here we report that a mutation in zebrafish spt5, sk8, deregulates <5% of ~10,000 genes examined. These findings reveal a small but diverse set of developmentally regulated genes, whose expression is critically dependent on Spt5-regulated RNAPII stalling in vertebrate development. Experiment Overall Design: RNA from zebrafish embryos were harvested at 24 hours post fertilization for hybridization to Affymetrix gene arrays.

C-terminal Domain Small Phosphatase 1 and MAP kinase reciprocally control REST stability and neuronal differentiation.

Project description:The RE1 Silencing Transcription Factor (REST) in stem cells represses hundreds of genes essential to neuronal function. During neurogenesis, REST is degraded in neural progenitors to promote subsequent elaboration of a mature neuronal phenotype. Prior studies indicate that part of the degradation mechanism involves phosphorylation of two sites in the C-terminus of REST that require activity of the E3 ubiquitin ligase, bTrCP. We identify a new proline-directed phosphorylation motif, at Serines 861/864 upstream of these sites, which is a substrate for the Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans Isomerase, Pin1, as well as the ERK1/2 kinases. Mutation at S861/864 stabilizes REST, as does inhibition of Pin1 activity. Interestingly, we find that C-Terminal Domain Small Phosphatase1 (CTDSP1) is recruited by REST to neuronal genes, is present in REST immunocomplexes, dephosphorylates S861/864 and stabilizes REST. Expression of a REST peptide containing S861/864 in neural progenitors inhibits terminal neuronal differentiation. Together with previous work indicating that both REST and CTDSP1 are expressed to high levels in stem cells and down regulated during neurogenesis, our results suggest that CTDSP1 activity stabilizes REST in stem cells, and that ERK dependent phosphorylation combined with Pin1 activity promotes REST degradation in neural progenitors.
