DEK facilitates regeneration in Stroke-Injured and Aging Brain via triggering Quiescence Exit of Neural Stem Cell

ABSTRACT: Quiescent neural stem cells (NSCs) in the adult mammalian brain can, upon activation, generate neurons and glial cells that contribute to complex sensory and cognitive functions during damage repair or aging. However, the specific and sustainable determinants of quiescent NSC activation remain unclear. Here, we present DEK as the primary activator of NSC quiescence in mice, functioning via the inhibition of downstream Notch signaling pathway. Overexpression of DEK in adult NSCs triggers quiescence exit, facilitating neurogenesis, eventually leading to either the rejuvenation of aged brains or the improved damage repair in a stroke-injured model. Meanwhile, persistent DEK overexpression from embryonic stages deprives NSCs of the ability to enter quiescence, leading to the ultimate depletion of the adult NSC reservoir, causing atrophy of hippocampus and deficits in spatial learning. Our findings establish a new narrative for quiescence exit of NSCs by DEK, potentially applicable when treating neurodegenerative diseases and brain injury.

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.

LRIG1 is a gatekeeper to exit from quiescence in adult neural stem cells

Project description:Adult neural stem cells (NSCs) must tightly regulate quiescence and proliferation. Single cell analysis has suggested a continuum of cell states as NSCs exit quiescence. Here we capture and characterize in vitro primed quiescent NSCs and identify LRIG1 as an important regulator. We show that BMP-4 signaling induces a dormant non-cycling quiescent state (d-qNSCs), whereas combined BMP-4/FGF-2 signalling induces a distinct primed quiescent state poised for cell cycle re-entry. Primed quiescent NSCs (p-qNSCs) are defined by high levels of LRIG1 and CD9, as well as an interferon response signature, and can efficiently engraft into the adult subventricular zone (SVZ) niche. Genetic disruption of Lrig1 in vivo within the SVZ NSCs leads an enhanced proliferation. Mechanistically, LRIG1 primes quiescent NSCs for cell cycle re-entry and EGFR responsiveness by enabling EGFR protein levels to increase but limiting signaling activation. LRIG1 is therefore an important functional regulator of NSC exit from quiescence.

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.

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.

Molecular Cascade Reveals Sequential Milestones Underlying Hippocampal Neural Stem Cell Development into an Adult State

Project description:Quiescent adult neural stem cells (NSCs) in the mammalian brain arise from proliferating NSCs during development. Beyond acquisition of quiescence, an adult NSC hallmark, little is known about the process, milestones and mechanisms underlying the transition of developmental NSCs to an adult NSC state. Here we performed targeted single-cell RNA-seq analysis to reveal the molecular cascade underlying NSC development in the early postnatal mouse dentate gyrus. We identified two sequential steps, first a transition to quiescence followed by further maturation, each of which involved distinct changes in metabolic gene expression. Direct metabolic analysis uncovered distinct milestones, including an autophagy burst before NSC quiescence acquisition and cellular ROS level elevation along NSC maturation. Functionally, autophagy is important for the NSC transition to quiescence during early postnatal development. Together, our study reveals a multi-step process with defined milestones underlying establishment of the adult NSC pool in the mammalian brain.

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.

Converged Epitranscriptomic Co-regulation of TGFβ Signaling Components Suppresses the Quiescence Transition of Early Postnatal Hippocampal Neural Stem Cells

Project description:Quiescence acquisition of proliferating neural stem cells (NSCs) is required to establish the adult NSC pool yet the underlying molecular mechanisms are not well-understood. Here we showed that conditional deletion of the m6A reader Ythdf2, which promotes mRNA decay, in proliferating NSCs in the early postnatal mouse hippocampus led to elevated quiescence acquisition with decreased neurogenesis. Multimodal profiling of m6A modification, YTHDF2 binding, and mRNA decay in hippocampal NSCs identified shared targets in multiple TGFβ signaling pathway components, including TGFβ ligands, maturation factors, receptors, transcription regulators, and signaling regulators. Functionally, Ythdf2 deletion led to TGFβ signaling activation in NSCs, suppression of which rescued elevated quiescence acquisition of proliferating hippocampal NSCs. Our study reveals the dynamic nature and critical roles of mRNA decay in establishing the quiescent adult hippocampal NSC pool and uncovers a novel mode of epitranscriptomic control via co-regulation of multiple components of the same signaling pathway.
