The transcriptome of prospectively isolated adult neural stem cells

ABSTRACT: Since the discovery of adult neural stem cells, their exact identity is still under discussion. Moreover, the lack of a reproducible procedure to purify neural stem cells prospectively rather than by growing them in vitro has so far precluded their study at the transcriptome level. Here we demonstrate a novel procedure to prospectively isolate neural stem cells from the adult mouse subependymal zone on the basis of their GFAP- and prominin1-expression by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. All self-renewing, multipotent stem cells are contained in this fraction at 70% purity. The stem cell identity of these double-positive cells is further demonstrated in vivo, by using a novel split-Cre-technology for fate mapping. Comparison of the transcriptome of these prospectively isolated neural stem cells to the transcriptomes of other astrocytes or ependymal cells revealed a distinct clustering of the stem cells, highlighting their unique features, as well as profound similarities to the astrocyte as well as ependyma transcriptome.

FACS-sorting was used to isolate prospective neural stem, astrocytes and ependymal cells from brain regions of hGFAP eGFP expressing mice. Total RNA from these cells was hybridised on Affymetrix MOE430 2.0 arrays and expression patterns were analysed.

Transcriptome Response and Spatial Pattern of Gene Expression in the Primate Subventricular Zone Neurogenic Niche After Cerebral Ischemia

Project description:The main stem cell niche for neurogenesis in the adult mammalian brain is the subventricular zone (SVZ) that extends along the cerebral lateral ventricles. We aimed at characterizing the initial molecular responses of the macaque monkey SVZ to transient, global cerebral ischemia. We microdissected tissue lining the anterior horn of the lateral ventricle (SVZa) from 7 day post-ischemic and sham-operated monkeys. Transcriptomics shows that in ischemic SVZa, 541 genes were upregulated and 488 genes were down-regulated. The transcription data encompassing the upregulated genes revealed a profile typical for quiescent stem cells and astrocytes. In the primate brain the SVZ is morphologically subdivided in distinct and separate ependymal- and subependymal regions. The subependymal contains predominantly neural stem cells (NSC) and differentiated progenitors. To determine in which SVZa region ischemia had evoked transcriptional upregulation, sections through control and ischemic SVZa were analyzed by high-throughput in situ hybridization for a total of 150 upregulated genes shown in the www.monkey-niche.org image database. The majority of the differentially expressed genes mapped to the subependymal layers on the striatal or callosal aspect of the SVZa. Moreover, a substantial number of upregulated genes was expressed in the ependymal layer, implicating a contribution of the ependyma to stem cell biology. The transcriptome analysis yielded several novel gene markers for primate SVZa including the apelin receptor that is strongly expressed in the primate SVZa niche upon ischemic insult.

Post-transcriptional control of a stemness signature by RNA-binding 8 protein MEX3A regulates adult neurogenesis

Project description:Neural stem cells (NSCs) in the adult mammalian subependymal zone maintain a glial identity and the developmental potential to generate neurons during the lifetime. Production of neurons from these NSCs is not direct but follows an orderly pattern of cell progression which allows the gradual increase along the neurogenic lineage in the expression of pro-neural factors needed for neuronal specification. In this context, tightly regulated translation of existing transcriptional programs represents a potential mechanism to avoid the critical challenge posed by genes that encode proteins with conflicting functions, i.e. self-renew or differentiate. Here, we identify RNA-binding protein MEX3A as a post-transcriptional regulator of a set of stemness-associated transcripts at critical transitions in the subependymal neurogenic lineage. MEX3A binding to a set of quiescence-related RNAs in activated NSCs is needed for their return to quiescence, playing a role in the long-term maintenance of the NSC pool. Furthermore, it is required for the repression of the same program at the onset of neuronal differentiation. Our data indicate that MEX3A is a pivotal regulator of adult mammalian neurogenesis acting as a translational remodeller.

SEZ cells populations

Project description:Characterization of neural stem cells (NSC) from the adult rodent subependymal niche by flow cytometry and traceable nucleoside retention assays have indicated the co-existence of activated and quiescent NSC in this niche. Single-cell deep-sequencing has further revealed different NSC molecular states with regards to cell-cycle gene expression: quiescent, primed for activation, and fully activated. Here, we provide a multi-level procedure to classify all cells of the subependymal niche, without the need for reporter mice, into populations with coherent transcriptomes that can be functionally assayed. Our strategy reveals that primed NSC are slowly proliferating cells that contribute to NSC cultures and that neurospheres contain NSC which retain a primed-like molecular signature and exhibit slow cycling and long-term self-renewal. Our strategy provides a way to functionally assay NSC heterogeneity and to study quiescence levels in NSC populations.

Mex3a RIP-seq

Project description:Neural stem cells (NSCs) in the adult mammalian subependymal zone maintain a glial identity and the developmental potential to generate neurons during the lifetime. Production of neurons from these NSCs is not direct but follows an orderly pattern of cell progression which allows the gradual increase in pro-neural factors needed for neuronal fate. Although little is known about how stemness is molecularly balanced with the acquisition of the cell competence for neuronal differentiation along the lineage, regulated translation of existing transcripts is a potential mechanism to avoid the critical challenge posed by genes that encode proteins with conflicting functions, i.e. self-renew or differentiate. Here, we identify MEX3A as a post-transcriptional regulator of a set of stemness-associated transcripts at critical transitions in the subependymal neurogenic lineage. MEX3A regulates a quiescence-related RNA signature in activated NSCs that is needed for the return to quiescence, playing a role in the long-term maintenance of the NSC pool. Furthermore, it is required for the repression of the same program at the onset of neuronal differentiation. Our data indicate that MEX3A acts via a number of downstream targets to function as a pivotal regulator of adult mammalian neurogenesis.

Ependyma-expressed CCN1 restricts the size of the neural stem cell pool in the adult ventricular-subventricular zone

Project description:Adult neural stem cells (NSCs) reside in specialized niches, which hold a balanced number of NSCs, their progeny, and other cells. How niche capacity is regulated to contain a specific number of NSCs remains unclear. Here, we show that ependyma-derived matricellular protein CCN1 (cellular communication network factor 1) negatively regulates niche capacity and NSC number in the adult ventricular-subventricular zone (V-SVZ). Adult ependyma-specific deletion of Ccn1 transiently enhanced NSC proliferation and reduced neuronal differentiation in mice, increasing the numbers of NSCs and NSC units. Although proliferation of NSCs and neurogenesis seen in Ccn1 knockout mice eventually returned to normal, the expanded NSC pool was maintained in the V-SVZ until old age. Inhibition of EGFR signaling prevented expansion of the NSC population observed in CCN1 deficient mice. Thus, ependyma-derived CCN1 restricts NSC expansion in the adult brain to maintain the proper niche capacity of the V-SVZ.
