Transcriptomic Profiling of Vagal and Sacral Level Neural Crest Cell from Mouse Embryos Using Next Generation Sequencing

ABSTRACT: The ENS of vertebrates develops from neural crest cell (NCC) deriving from mainly the vagal neural crest, while NCCs from the sacral level to a less extent. In mouse embryos, the vagal NCCs emigrate from the neural tube adjacent to the somite level from 1-7 at Embryonic day (E)9.0, and sacral NCCs emigrate from the neural tube adjacent to the level of somites caudal to somite 24 in the mouse (in the chick, caudal to somite 28) at E9.5. The spatial difference in cell colonization between vagal and sacral NCCs is that vagal NCCs completely colonize the whole gut, while the distribution of sacral NCCs is only restricted to the hindgut segment. To determine the differences between these two groups of cells, we isolated vagal and sacral NCCs by neural tube explant culture and then performed high-throughput RNA-seq to examine the transcriptional variation. We analyzed that differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by gene ontology (GO) analysis in which the DEGs were enriched in cell adherin, proliferation, transcriptional regulation, et al. This study might help to explore the underlying basis for the different cell behaviors between vagal and sacral NCCs during mouse embryonic development.

Single-cell profiling coupled with lineage analysis reveals vagal and sacral neural crest contributions to the developing enteric nervous system

Project description:During development, much of the enteric nervous system (ENS) arises from the vagal neural crest that emerges from the caudal hindbrain and colonizes the entire gastrointestinal tract. However, a second contribution to the ENS comes from the sacral neural crest that arises in the caudal neural tube and populates the post-umbilical gut. By coupling single cell transcriptomics with axial-level specific lineage tracing in avian embryos, we compared the contributions of embryonic vagal and sacral neural crest cells to the pre-umbilical and post-umbilical chick ENS and the associated peripheral ganglia (the Nerve of Remak and pelvic plexuses) at embryonic day (E) 10.

hPSC-derived Sacral Neural Crest Enables Rescue in a Severe Model of Hirschsprung’s Disease [ATAC-seq]

Project description:The enteric nervous system (ENS) is derived from both the vagal and sacral component of the neural crest (NC). Here, we present the derivation of sacral ENS precursors from human PSCs via timed exposure to FGF, WNT and to GDF11 to enable posterior patterning and transition from posterior trunk to sacral NC identity respectively. Using a SOX2::H2B-tdTomato/ T::H2B-GFP dual reporter hPSC line, we demonstrate that both trunk and sacral NC emerge from a double-positive neuro-mesodermal progenitor (NMP). Vagal and sacral NC precursors yield distinct neuronal subtypes and migratory behaviors in vitro and in vivo. Remarkably, xenografting of both vagal and sacral NC lineages is required to rescue a mouse model of total aganglionosis, suggesting novel opportunities in the treatment of severe forms of Hirschsprung’s disease.

Single cell ATAC-seq of neural crest derivatives in mouse embryos

Project description:Neural crest cells are multipotent embryonic progenitors that give rise to a large number of cell types in a vertebrate embryo, thus, sometimes being considered as a 4th germ layer. Neural crest cells originate within the dorsal neural tube at the time of its closure, delaminate and migrate to multiple destinations. The paths of fate selection and differentiation in the neural crest cells are not fully understood. The analysis of open chromatin regions at single cell level will help to clarify the genetic programs behind the development of a vagal neural crest stream.

Analysis of gene expression in Sox10 Dom mutant sacral neural crest cells

Project description:Hirschsprung’s disease (HSCR) is a congenital disease which is characterized by the reduction or absence of neurons and glial cells in the enteric nervous system (ENS). Failure of neural crest cells (NCCs) to colonize the gut during the embryonic development has been considered as one of the possible causes of the disease. In this study, the migration and gene expression of sacral NCCs from the spontaneous mouse mutant Dominant megacolon (Dom) which is a HSCR animal model expressing a mutated transcription factor Sox10, were analyzed in order to identify candidate genes which may possibly affect the NCC migration in the mutant.

Loss of autism-candidate CHD8 perturbs neural crest development and intestinal homeostatic balance [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Individuals with mutations in CHD8 present with gastrointestinal complaints, yet the underlying mechanisms are understudied. Here, utilizing a stable constitutive chd8 mutant zebrafish model, we found that the loss of chd8 leads to reduced number of vagal neural crest cells (NCCs), enteric neural and glial progenitors, emigrating from the neural tube and that their early migration capability was altered. At later stages, although the intestinal colonization by the NCCs was complete, we found decreased numbers of both serotonin-producing enterochromaffin cells and NCC-derived serotonergic neurons, suggesting an intestinal hyposerotonemia in absence of chd8. Further, transcriptomic analyses revealed altered expression of key receptors and enzymes in serotonin and acetylcholine signaling pathways. Tissue examination of chd8 mutants revealed thinner intestinal epithelium accompanied by accumulation of neutrophils and decreased numbers of goblet cells and eosinophils. Last, single-cell sequencing of whole intestines showed a global disruption of the immune balance with perturbed expression of inflammatory interleukins and changes in immune cell clusters. Our findings propose a causal developmental link between chd8, NCC development, intestinal homeostasis, and autism-associated gastrointestinal complaints.

Early chromatin shaping predetermines multipotent vagal neural crest into neural, neuronal and mesenchymal lineages

Project description:The enteric nervous system (ENS) predominantly originates from vagal neural crest cells (VNC) that emerge from the caudal hindbrain, invade the foregut and populate the gastrointestinal tract. However, the gene regulatory network (GRN) orchestrating the early specification of VNC remains unknown. Using an EdnrB enhancer, we generated a comprehensive temporal map of the chromatin and transcriptional landscape of VNC in the avian model, revealing three VNC cell clusters (neural, neurogenic and mesenchymal), each predetermined epigenetically prior to neural tube delamination. We identify and functionally validate regulatory cores (Sox10/Tfap2B/SoxB/Hbox) mediating each programme and elucidate their combinatorial activities with other spatiotemporally-specific transcription factors (bHLH/NR). Our global deconstruction of the VNC-GRN in vivo sheds light on critical early regulatory mechanisms that may influence the divergent neural phenotypes in enteric neuropathies.
