ZFP423 regulates early patterning and multiciliogenesis in the hindbrain choroid plexus

ABSTRACT: 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.

The transcription factor Otx2 regulates choroid plexus development and function

Project description:The choroid plexuses (ChPs) are the main regulators of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) composition and thereby also control the composition of a principal source of signaling molecules that is in direct contact with neural stem cells in the developing brain. The regulators of ChP development mediating the acquisition of a fate that differs from the neighboring neuroepithelial cells are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate in mice a crucial role for the transcription factor Otx2 in the development and maintenance of ChP cells. Deletion of Otx2 by the Otx2-CreERT2 driver line at E9 resulted in a lack of all ChPs, whereas deletion by the Gdf7-Cre driver line affected predominately the hindbrain ChP, which was reduced in size, primarily owing to an increase in apoptosis upon Otx2 deletion. Strikingly, Otx2 was still required for the maintenance of hindbrain ChP cells at later stages when Otx2 deletion was induced at E15, demonstrating a central role of Otx2 in ChP development and maintenance. Moreover, the predominant defects in the hindbrain ChP mediated by Gdf7-Cre deletion of Otx2 revealed its key role in regulating early CSF composition, which was altered in protein content, including the levels of Wnt4 and the Wnt modulator Tgm2. Accordingly, proliferation and Wnt signaling levels were increased in the distant cerebral cortex, suggesting a role of the hindbrain ChP in regulating CSF composition, including key signaling molecules. Thus, Otx2 acts as a master regulator of ChP development, thereby influencing one of the principal sources of signaling in the developing brain, the CSF. We performed gene expression microarray analysis of fourth ventricular choroid plexus tissue from Otx2 k.o. mice compared to wildtype mice from the same litters.

MiR-34b regulates multiciliogenesis during organ formation in zebrafish

Project description:Multiciliated cells possess multiple motile cilia on the cell surface and are widely distributed throughout the vertebrate body to perform important physiological functions by regulating fluid movement in the intercellular space. However the molecular mechanisms underlying multiciliogenesis are not well understood. Although dysregulation of members of the miR-34 family plays a critical role in the progression of various cancers, the physiological function of miR-34b, especially in regulating multiciliogenesis, is largely unknown. Here we focus on the multiciliated cells in the zebrafish kidney to study whether and how miR-34b regulate multiciliogenesis. We performed genome-wide gene expression profiling of zebrafish kidney multiciliated cells in the absence (miR-34b morpholino) or presence of miR-34b (control morpholino). RNA samples for microarray gene expression profiling were collected at 3 days post fertilization.

Human iPSC-derived organoids recapitulate development of the cerebellum.

Project description:Single-cell profiling of stem cell-derived cerebellar organoids revealed transcriptionally-discrete populations encompassing the major cerebellar neuronal cell types including granule cells, roof plate, choroid plexus, Bergmann glia, Purkinje cells and glutamatergic deep cerebellar nuclei. Cellular identity and maturity were confirmed through comparison to an atlas of developing murine cerebellar cell types.

A non-hemispheric transtentorial ZFTA-fusion-positive ependymoma in a 6-month-old boy

Project description:We report an infantile case of midline ‘supratentorial ependymoma ZFTA fusion-positive’ involving both the infra- and the supra-tentorial compartments (i.e., cerebellar vermis, pons and midbrain). The radiological features, i.e., the upward displacement and compression of the supratentorial anatomical structures and the infiltrative margins of the tumour towards the cerebellar vermis, suggested an infratentorial origin of the lesion with secondary involvement of the supratentorial compartment. This case adds to the limited literature of non-hemispheric ‘supratentorial ependymoma ZFTA fusion-positive’ occurring in midline structures, both supratentorial (pineal region, thalamus) and infratentorial (cervico-medullary region and spinal cord), and in the cerebellum. These cases highlight the need to consider this entity in the differential diagnosis of paediatric non-hemispheric lesions and raise the question of whether the inclusion of the location within the WHO definition of this tumour type may be too restrictive

Mucociliary epidermis RNA-seq data from controls and after manipulation of cell fates by Notch (suh-dbm, nicd) and cell type controlers (Foxa1MO, dnMCIDAS)

Project description:This study was conducted to investigate the effects of enriching or depleting cell types in mucociliary organoids in Xenopus laevis. (1) Uninjected control embryos were compared to (2) inhibition of Notch signaling (suh-dbm) which enriches ionocytes and multiciliated cells, (3) inhibition of Notch and suppression of MCIDAS (suh-dbm + dnMCIDAS) which enriches ionocytes and depletes multiciliated cells, (4) overactivation of Notch (nicd) which suppresses ionocytes and multiciliated cells and promotes small secretory cells and basal cells, (5) knockdown of foxa1 (foxa1MO) which depletes small secretory cells. Embryos were injected at 2-4 cell stage and were used to generate animal cap explants at embryonic stage 8. Explants were grown into mucociliary organoids and collected at embryonic stages 10.5, 16, 25, and 32 for total RNA extraction.

Project description:Bulk RNA samples were recruited from GCE of the cerebellar vermis. We obtained two WT and two Kdm3b+/- mice samples for RNA-sequencing analysis. After trimming low-quality bases, the sequence reads were aligned using the STAR algorithm. Then, we quantified gene expression using the StringTie, resulting 16,447 genes expressed in cerebellum tissues.
