Project description:The spinal cord neural stem cell potential is contained within the ependymal cells lining the central canal. Ependymal cells are, however, heterogeneous and we know little about what this reflects. To gain new insights into ependymal cell heterogeneity, we microdissected the ependymal cell layer from the thoracic spinal cord of 4 FOXJ1-EGFP transgenic mice (2.5-to-3-month old). After after dissociating the tissue into a cell suspension, we sorted single GFP-positive ependymal cells into lysis plates. cDNA synthesis was performed using Smart-seq2 technology.

Project description:We identified that Foxj1 is degraded by the ubiquitin proteasome system. Foxj1 protein is stabilized by the cullin-RING ligase inhibitor MLN4924. We evaluated global changes to ependymal cell culture gene expression profiles during MLN4924 treatment.

Project description:Ependymomas are glial tumors that share morphologic similarities with ependymal cells. Here we laser microdissected ependymoma cells of 15 infratentorial tumors and generated gene expression profiles. These profiles were compared to those of 7 laser microdissected ependymal tissues.

Here we laser microdissected ependymoma cells of 15 infratentorial tumors and generated gene expression profiles. These profiles were compared to those of 7 laser microdissected ependymal tissues. 10 000 laser microdissected cells of each of the 15 different infratentorial ependymomas and seven ependymal autopsy tissues were lysed and gene expression profiles were generated. Expression profiles of ependymomas were compared to those of ependymal cells.

Project description:Multiciliated Ependymal Cells and Adult Neural Stem Cells are components of the adult neurogenic niche, essential for brain homeostasis. These cells share a common glial cell lineage regulated by the Geminin family members Geminin and GemC1/Mcidas. Ependymal precursors require GemC1/Mcidas expression to massively amplify centrioles and become multiciliated cells. Here we show that GemC1-dependent differentiation occurs mostly in cycling Radial Glial Cells, in which a DNA damage response, including replicative stress and dysfunctional telomeres, arrests the cell cycle after the G1/S restriction point due to the activation of the p53-p21 pathway, which contributes to centriole amplification. Telomerase expression in Radial Glial Cells impairs ependymal differentiation and favors the Neural Stem Cell fate.

Project description:After spinal cord injury, ependymal cells considered as stem cells activate, proliferate and differentiate mainly into glial cells. To understand this further at the molecular level, we performed RNA profiling of these cells in situ using laser-dissection and also when they are cultured as neurospheres in different conditions (growth, differentiation, dedifferentiation) Abstract: Numerous vertebrates, including Human, maintain a pool of immature cells in the ependymal region of the adult spinal cord. During injury, these ependymal cells, considered as multipotent stem cells, rapidly activate, proliferate and generate neurons and glial cells in lower vertebrates or mainly glial cells in mammals. The mechanisms underlying this activation are ill-defined and we intended to fill this gap by performing RNA profiling of mouse ependymal region after lesion. Bioinformatics and immunofluorescence identified activation of STAT3 and ERK/MAPK signaling in ependymal cells after injury. This was also accompanied by downregulation of cilia-associated genes and FoxJ1, a central transcription factor of ciliogenesis. Six genes were upregulated more than 20 fold, namely Crym, Ecm1, Ifi202b, Nupr1, Osmr, Rbp1, Thbs2 whereas only one, Acta1 was downregulated to this extent. We explored further the role and regulation in ependymal cells of Osmr, the receptor for oncostatin (OSM). This inflammatory cytokine is specifically expressed by microglia cells and we observed interactions between these cells and ependymal cells in vivo. Using culture of ependymal cells in neurospheres, we found that several cytokines induced OSMR, OSM being the most potent. OSMR is also upregulated by co-culture with OSM-expressing microglial cells. Treatment of spinal cord neural stem cells with OSM decreased their proliferation, upregulate p-Stat3 and reduced their differentiation into oligodendrocyte-lineage Olig1+ cells. These results suggest an important role for microglia-derived oncostatin in the activation and fate of spinal cord ependymal cell.

Project description:Analysis of epithelial explants injected with the intracellular domain of Notch (ICD) to block the formation of multi-ciliate cells, either alone or along with FoxJ1. FoxJ1 misexpression leads to the induction fo ectopic cilia in Xenopus laevis epithelia. Results show which genes are affected by FoxJ1 during the induction of ectopic cilia. Ciliated cells that produce a leftward fluid flow have been proposed to mediate left-right patterning in many vertebrate embryos. These cilia combine features of primary sensory and motile cilia, but how such cilia are specified is unknown. We address this issue by analyzing the Xenopus and Zebrafish homologs of FoxJ1, a forkhead transcription factor necessary for ciliogenesis in multi-ciliate cells of the mouse. We show that the cilia that underlie left-right patterning on the Xenopus gastrocoel roof plate (GRP) and Zebrafish Kupffer’s vesicle (KV) are severely shortened or fail to form in FoxJ1 morphants. We also show that misexpressing XFoxJ1 is sufficient to induce ectopic GRP-like cilia formation in frog embryos. Microarray analysis indicates that XFoxJ1 induces the formation of cilia by upregulating the expression of motile cilia genes. These results indicate that FoxJ1 is a critical determinant in specifying cilia used in left-right patterning. Keywords: Cilia Induction

Project description:Formation of motile cilia in vertebrate embryos is essential for proper development and tissue function. Key regulators of motile ciliogenesis are the transcription factors FOXJ1 and NOTO, which are conserved throughout vertebrates. Downstream target genes of FOXJ1 have been identified in a variety of species, organs and cultured cell lines; in murine embryonic and foetal tissues, however, FOXJ1 and NOTO effectors have not been comprehensively analysed and our knowledge of the downstream genetic programme driving motile ciliogenesis in the mammalian lung and ventral node is fragmentary. We compared genome-wide expression profiles of undifferentiated E14.5 vs. abundantly ciliated E18.5 micro-dissected airway epithelia as well as Foxj1+ vs. Foxj1-deficient foetal (E16.5) lungs of the mouse using microarray hybridisation. 326 genes deregulated in both screens are candidates for FOXJ1-dependent, ciliogenesis-associated factors at the endogenous onset of motile ciliogenesis in the lung, including 123 genes that have not been linked to ciliogenesis before; 46% of these novel factors lack known homologues outside mammals. Microarray screening of Noto+ vs. Noto null early headfold embryos (E7.75) identified 59 of the lung candidates as NOTO/FOXJ1-dependent factors in the embryonic left-right organiser that carries a different subtype of motile cilia. For several uncharacterised factors from this small overlap – including 1700012B09Rik, 1700026L06Rik and Fam183b – we provide extended experimental evidence for a ciliary function.
