Early Stem Cell Aging in the Mature Brain

ABSTRACT: Stem cell dysfunction drives many age-related disorders. Identifying mechanisms that initially compromise stem cell behavior represent early targets to enhance stem cell function later in life. Here, we pinpoint multiple factors that disrupt neural stem cell (NSC) behavior in the adult hippocampus. Clonal tracing showed that NSCs exhibit asynchronous depletion by identifying short-term (ST-NSC) and long-term NSCs (LT-NSCs). ST-NSC divide rapidly to generate neurons and deplete in the young brain. Meanwhile, multipotent LT-NSCs are maintained for months, but are pushed out of homeostasis by lengthening quiescence. Single cell transcriptome analysis of deep NSC quiescence revealed several hallmarks of molecular aging in the mature brain and identified tyrosine-protein kinase Abl1 as an NSC pro-aging factor. Treatment with the Abl-inhibitor Imatinib increased NSC proliferation without impairing NSC maintenance in the middle-aged brain. Our study indicates that hippocampal NSCs are particularly vulnerable to cellular aging, yet NSC function can be partially restored.

SETD4 Cells Contribute to Brain Development and Maintain Adult Stem Cell Reservoir for Neurogenesis

Project description:Cellular quiescence facilitates maintenance of neural stem cells (NSCs) and their subsequent regenerative functions in response to brain injury and aging. However, the specification and maintenance of NSCs in quiescence from embryo to adulthood remains largely unclear. Here, using Set domain-containing protein 4 (SETD4), an epigenetic determinant of cellular quiescence, we mark a small but long-lived NSC population in deep quiescence in the subventricular zone of adult murine brain. Genetic lineage tracing shows that SETD4+ cells appear before neuroectoderm formation and contribute to brain development. In the adult, conditional knock-out of SETD4 resulted in quiescence exit of NSCs, generating newborn neurons in the olfactory bulb and contributing to damage repair. However, long period deletion of SETD4 lead to exhaustion of NSC reservoir or SETD4 overexpression caused quiescence entry of NSCs, leading to suppressed neurogenesis. This study reveals the existence of long-lived deep quiescent NSCs and their neurogenetic capacities beyond activation.

Autofluorescence is a biomarker of neural stem cell activation state [Subventricular zone]

Project description:Neural stem cells (NSCs) in the adult brain are primarily quiescent but can activate and enter the cell cycle to produce newborn neurons. NSC quiescence can be regulated by disease, injury, and age, however our understanding of NSC quiescence is limited by technical limitations imposed by the bias of markers used to isolate each population of NSCs and the lack of live-cell labeling strategies. Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) of autofluorescent metabolic cofactors has previously been used in other cell types to study shifts in cell states driven by metabolic remodeling that change the optical properties of these endogenous fluorophores. Here we asked whether autofluorescence could be used to discriminate NSC activation state. We found that quiescent NSCs (qNSCs) and activated NSCs (aNSCs) each have unique autofluorescence intensity and fluorescence lifetime profiles. Additionally, qNSCs specifically display an enrichment of a specific autofluorescent signal localizing to lysosomes that is highly predictive of cell state. These signals can be used as a graded marker of NSC quiescence to predict cell behavior and track the dynamics of quiescence exit at single cell resolution in vitro and in vivo. Through coupling autofluorescence imaging with single-cell RNA sequencing in vitro and in vivo, we provide a high-resolution resource revealing transcriptional features linked to rapid NSC activation and deep quiescence. Taken together, we describe a single-cell resolution, non-destructive, live-cell, label-free strategy for measuring NSC activation state in vitro and in vivo and use this tool to expand our understanding of adult neurogenesis.

Troy+ brain stem cells cycle through quiescence and regulate their number by sensing niche occupancy

Project description:The adult mouse subependymal zone (SEZ) provides a niche for mammalian neural stem cells (NSCs). However, the molecular signature, self-renewal potential and fate behavior of NSCs remain poorly defined. Here we propose a model in which the fate of active NSCs is coupled to the total number of neighboring NSCs in a shared niche. Using knock-in reporter alleles and single-cell RNA sequencing, we show that the Wnt target Tnfrsf19/Troy identifies both active and quiescent NSCs. Quantitative analysis of genetic lineage tracing of individual NSCs under homeostasis or in response to injury reveals rapid expansion of stem cell number before some return to quiescence. This behavior is best explained by stochastic fate decisions, where stem cell number within a shared niche fluctuates over time. Fate-mapping proliferating cells using a novel Ki67iresCreER allele confirms that active NSCs reversibly return to quiescence, achieving long-term self-renewal. Our findings suggest a novel niche-based mechanism for the regulation of NSC fate and number.

Single-Cell Transcriptomics Reveals a Population of Dormant Neural Stem Cells that Become Activated upon Brain Injury

Project description:Heterogeneous pools of adult neural stem cells (NSCs) contribute to brain maintenance and regeneration after injury. The balance of NSC activation and quiescence, as well as the induction of lineage-specific transcription factors, may contribute to diversity of neuronal and glial fates. To identify molecular hallmarks governing these characteristics, we performed single-cell sequencing of an unbiased pool of adult subventricular zone NSCs. This analysis identified a discrete, dormant NSC subpopulation that already expresses distinct combinations of lineage-specific transcription factors during homeostasis. Dormant NSCs enter a primed-quiescent state before activation, which is accompanied by downregulation of glycolytic metabolism, Notch, and BMP signaling and a concomitant upregulation of lineage-specific transcription factors and protein synthesis. In response to brain ischemia, interferon gamma signaling induces dormant NSC subpopulations to enter the primed-quiescent state. This study unveils general principles underlying NSC activation and lineage priming and opens potential avenues for regenerative medicine in the brain. Single cell RNAseq of cells isolated from their in vivo niche in the subventricular zone, Striatum and Cortex during homeostasis as well as following ischemic injury. In total 272 single cells. (<WT>: homeostasis samples; <Ischemic_injured> and <Ischemic_injured_and_Interferon_gamma_knockout>: samples following ischemic injuried).

Epigenetic maintenance of neural stem cell quiescence in the adult mouse hippocampus via Setd1a [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Quiescence, a hallmark of adult neural stem cells (NSCs), is required for maintaining the NSC pool to support life-long continuous neurogenesis in the adult dentate gyrus (DG). Whether epigenetic mechanisms can maintain NSC quiescence over long term in the adult brain is not well-understood. Here we showed that adult mice with haploinsufficiency of Setd1a, a schizophrenia risk gene encoding a histone H3K4 methyltransferase, exhibited substantially enlarged DG with increased number of dentate granule cells. Deletion of Setd1a specifically in quiescent NSCs in the adult DG promoted their activation and neurogenesis, which was countered by inhibition of histone demethylase LSD1. Mechanistically, RNA sequencing and CUT & RUN analyses of cultured quiescent adult NSCs revealed Setd1a deletion-induced transcriptional changes and Setd1a targets, among which down-regulation of Bhlhe40 promoted quiescent NSC activation in the adult DG. Together, our study revealed a Setd1a-dependent epigenetic mechanism that sustains NSC quiescence in the adult DG.

The transition from quiescent to activated states in human hematopoietic stem cells is governed by dynamic 3D genome reorganization [Low-C]

Project description:Life-long blood production requires long-term hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSC) - marked by stemness states involving quiescence and self-renewal - to transition into activated short-term HSC (ST-HSC) with reduced stemness. As few transcriptional changes underlie this transition, we used single-cell and bulk ATAC-seq on human HSC and stem/progenitor subsets (HSPC) to uncover chromatin accessibility signatures, one including LT-HSC (LT/HSPC signature) and another excluding LT-HSC (Act/HSPC signature). These signatures inversely correlated during early hematopoietic commitment and differentiation. The Act/HSPC signature contains CTCF binding sites mediating 351 chromatin interactions, engaged in ST-HSC but not LT-HSC, enclosing multiple stemness pathway genes active in LT-HSC and repressed in ST-HSC. CTCF silencing derepressed stemness genes, restraining quiescent LT-HSC from transitioning to activated ST-HSC. Hence, 3D chromatin interactions centrally mediated by CTCF, endow a gatekeeper function that governs the earliest fate transitions HSC make by coordinating disparate stemness pathways linked to quiescence and self-renewal.

A lysine demethylase-independent function of Phf2 regulates cohesin-mediated DNA replication for neural stem cell activation

Project description:The activation of quiescent neural stem cells (qNSCs) in the dentate gyrus is required for lifelong neurogenesis. However, the mechanisms that promote the exit of neural stem cells (NSCs) from quiescence remain elusive. We demonstrate that the expression of plant homeodomain finger protein 2 (Phf2) activates the exit of postnatal mouse NSC from shallow quiescence. Loss of Phf2 prevents NSC activation and neurogenesis in postnatal 30 (P30) mice but does not decrease the label-retaining NSC pool, indicating that Phf2 is not required for the exit of NSC from quiescence. NSC-specific deletion of Phf2 modestly compromises embryonic mouse NSC proliferation without increasing apoptosis, indicating that Phf2 is crucial for embryonic development. Moreover, human cortical organoids reveal that Phf2 promotes NPC proliferation via a lysine demethylase-independent manner. Mechanistically, Phf2 directly binds to the cohesion complex via Rad21 and regulates the DNA replication in mouse NSC by associating with the cohesion complex releasing protein Wapl activity. Our study identifies the Phf2-cohesin complex mediated DNA replication for neural stem cell activation in a lysine demethylase-independent manner.
