Project description:A fundamental interest in developmental neuroscience is to map the complete single-cell lineages within the brain. We developed a CRISPR editing-based lineage specific tracing (CREST) method for clonal tracing in Cre mice. We combined two complementary strategies to map the comprehensive single-cell lineage landscape in developing mouse brain. Applying snapCREST (snapshotting CREST) in mouse ventral midbrain (vMB), we constructed a spatiotemporal lineage landscape spanning the major developmental stage of vMB. Specifically, we identified six progenitor archetypes that could represent principal clonal fate of individual vMB progenitors, whose progenies showed restricted and graded distribution along the dorsal-ventral axis. We uncovered subregion-specific relationship between glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons and identified three distinct clonal lineages in the floor plate that specified glutamatergic neurons, dopaminergic neurons, or both neuronal types. We further created pandaCREST (progenitor and derivative associating CREST) by combining CREST, ex vivo organoid culture, and clonal splitting strategy to associate the transcriptome of progenitor cells in vivo with their differentiation potentials. Using pandaCREST, we identified multiple developmental origins of dopaminergic neurons and demonstrated that the fate potential of a transcriptome-defined progenitor type reflects the composite potentials of individual progenitors, each with distinct clonal fate and molecular signatures. Thus, the CREST method and strategies allow comprehensive single-cell lineage analysis that could offer new insights into the molecular programs underlying neural specification.

Project description:GABAergic interneurons are lost in conditions including epilepsy and CNS injury, but there are few culture models available to study their function. Towards the goal of obtaining renewable sources of GABAergic neurons, we used the molecular profile of a functionally-incomplete GABAergic precursor clone to screen 17 new clones isolated from GFP+ rat E14.5 cortex and ganglionic eminence (GE) that were generated by viral introduction of v-myc. The clones grow as neurospheres in medium with FGF2, and after withdrawal of FGF2 they exhibit varying patterns of differentiation. Transcriptional profiling and qPCR indicated that one clone (GE6) expresses high levels of mRNAs encoding Dlx1, 2, 5 and 6, glutamate decarboxylases, and presynaptic proteins including neuropeptide Y and somatostatin. Protein expression confirmed that GE6 is a progenitor with restricted differentiation giving rise mostly to neurons with GABAergic markers. In co-cultures with hippocampal neurons, GE6 neurons became electrically excitable and received both inhibitory and excitatory synapses. After withdrawal of FGF2 in cultures of GE6 alone, neurons matured to express BetaIII-tubulin, and staining for synaptophysin and vesicular GABA transporter (VGAT) were robust after 1-2 weeks of differentiation. GE6 neurons also became electrically excitable and displayed synaptic activity, but synaptic currents were carried by chloride and were blocked by bicuculline. The results suggest that the GE6 clone, which is ventrally derived from the GE, resembles GABAergic interneuron progenitors that migrate into the developing forebrain. This is the first report of a relatively stable fetal clone that can be differentiated into GABAergic interneurons with functional synapses. The purpose was to compare differentiation patterns of several different immortalized rat neural progenitor clones to identify early stages in differentiation. The cell clones studies were: GE6 (GABAergic neuronal precursor), GE2 (non-neuronal precursor, CTX8 (multipotential precursor), L2.2 (interneuronal precursor), and L2.3 (multipotential precursor). Five rat neural precursor cell clones were compared at three different time points following FGF2 withdrawal, which triggers differentiation. Three sister culture replicates were performed for each cell clone and time point, yielding 45 samples. One microarray failed so we have 44 microarray results in the dataset.

Project description:The cerebral cortex is a cellularly-complex structure comprised of a rich diversity of neuronal and glial cell types. Cortical neurons can be broadly categorized into two classes—glutamatergic excitatory neurons and GABAergic inhibitory interneurons. Previous developmental studies in rodents have led to the prevailing model that while excitatory neurons are born from progenitors located in the cortex, cortical interneurons are born from a separate population of progenitors located outside of the developing cortex in the ganglionic eminences1-5. However, the developmental potential of human cortical progenitors has not been thoroughly explored. Here we show that in addition to excitatory neurons and glia, human cortical progenitors are also capable of producing GABAergic neurons with the transcriptional characteristics and morphologies of cortical interneurons. By developing a cellular barcoding tool called “ScRNAseq-compatible Tracer for Identifying Clonal Relationships” (STICR), we were able to perform clonal lineage tracing of 1912 primary human cortical progenitors from six specimens and capture both the transcriptional identities and clonal relationships of their resulting progeny. A subpopulation of cortically-born GABAergic neurons were transcriptionally similar to cortical interneurons born from the caudal ganglionic eminence and these cells were frequently related to excitatory neurons and glia. Thus, our results demonstrate that individual human cortical progenitors can generate both excitatory neurons and cortical interneurons, providing a new framework for understanding the origins of neuronal diversity in the human cortex.

Project description:Genetic variation confers susceptibility to neurodevelopmental disorders by affecting the development of specific cell types. Changes in cortical and striatal ɣ-aminobutyric acid-expressing (GABAergic) neurons are common in autism and schizophrenia. Here we used single-cell RNA sequencing to characterize the emergence of cell diversity in the human ganglionic eminences, the transitory structures of the human fetal brain where striatal and cortical GABAergic neurons are generated. We identified regional and temporal diversity among progenitor cells underlying the generation of a variety of projection neurons and interneurons. We found that these cells are specified within the human ganglionic eminences by gene regulatory networks similar to those previously identified in rodents. Our findings reveal an evolutionarly conserved regulatory logic controlling the specification, migration, and differentiation of GABAergic neurons in the human telencephalon.

Project description:To understand regulatory function in human neural differentiation, we performed ATAC-seq in human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), in vitro-differentiated neural progenitor cells (NPC) and ganglionic eminence-like (GE) cells, as well as commercially available neural stem cells, GABAergic neurons, and glutamatergic neurons. We also performed circular chromosome conformation capture (4C)-seq on these cells.
