Regulatory elements governing neurogenesis and proliferation in developing human neocortex

Project description:Non-coding regions compose most of the human genome, yet their functionality is poorly defined. In the developing human neocortex, non-coding regulatory elements tightly regulate expression to direct neural progenitor proliferation and neurogenesis. Here, we define thousands of non-coding elements involved in human neurogenesis by contrasting chromatin accessibility via ATAC-seq from the germinal zone and cortical plate.

Dual and separable roles for Ezh2 in neurogenic astroglia

Project description:The epigenetic mechanisms that enable specialized astrocytes to retain neurogenic competence throughout adult life are still poorly understood. Here we show that astrocytes that serve as neural stem cells (NSCs) in the adult mouse subventricular zone (SVZ) express the histone methyltransferase EZH2. This Polycomb repressive factor is required for neurogenesis independent of its role in SVZ NSC proliferation, as Ink4a/Arf-deficiency in Ezh2-deleted SVZ NSCs rescues cell proliferation, but neurogenesis remains defective. Olig2 is a direct target of EZH2, and repression of this bHLH transcription factor is critical for neuronal differentiation. Furthermore, Ezh2 prevents the inappropriate activation of genes that specify non-SVZ neuronal subtypes. In the human brain, SVZ cells including local astroglia also express EZH2, correlating with postnatal neurogenesis. Thus, EZH2 is an epigenetic regulator that distinguishes neurogenic SVZ astrocytes, orchestrating distinct and separable aspects of adult stem cell biology, which has important implications for regenerative medicine and oncogenesis.

Epigenetic regulation by chromatin activation mark H3K4me3 in primate progenitor cells within adult neurogenic niche [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Histone 3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) is known to be associated with transcriptionally active or poised genes and required for postnatal neurogenesis within the subventricular zone (SVZ) in the rodent model. Previous comparisons have shown significant correlation between baboon (Papio anubis) and human brain. In this study, we demonstrate that chromatin activation mark H3K4me3 is present in undifferentiated progenitor cells within the SVZ of adult baboon brain. To identify the targets and regulatory role of H3K4me3 within the baboon SVZ, we developed a technique to purify undifferentiated SVZ cells while preserving the endogenous nature without introducing culture artifact to maintain the in vivo chromatin state for genome-wide studies (ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq). Overall, H3K4me3 is significantly enriched for genes involved in cell cycle, metabolism, protein synthesis, signaling pathways, and cancer mechanisms. Additionally, we found elevated levels of H3K4me3 in the MRI-classified SVZ-associated Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), which has a transcriptional profile that reflects the H3K4me3 modifications in the undifferentiated progenitor cells of the baboon SVZ. Our findings highlight the importance of H3K4me3 in coordinating distinct networks and pathways for life-long neurogenesis, and suggest that subtypes of GBM could occur, at least in part, due to aberrant H3K4me3 epigenetic regulation. SVZ H3K4me3 ChIP-seq profile of an adult baboon brain was generated by deep sequencing with Illumina HiSeq 2000.

Human dihydrofolate reductase is a substrate of protein kinase CK2α

Project description:Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) is a prominent molecular target in antitumor, antibacterial and antiprotozoan chemotherapies. Our in silico amino acid sequence and 3D structure analyses revealed the presence of several putative CK2 phosphorylation sites. Indeed, CK2α subunit phosphorylated DHFR in vitro. In order to identify phosphorylation site we used site-directed mutagenesis to obtain several DHFR mutants with predicted CK2-phosphorylable serine or threonine residues substituted with alanines. All enzyme forms were subjected to in vitro phosphorylation by CK2α subunit. The results pointed to serine 168. Mass spectrometry analyses revealed the presence of additional phosphoserine 145. Phosphorylation by CK2α of S145A mutant and lack of phosphorylation of S145A/S168A double mutant may indicate that S145 phosphorylation may occur only when serine 168 is already phosphorylated. The effect of these and other mutations on enzyme catalytic activity was also investigated.

TBR1 Regulates Autism Risk Genes in the Developing Neocortex

Project description:Exome sequencing studies have identified multiple genes harboring de novo loss-of-function (LoF) variants in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), including TBR1, a master regulator of cortical development. We performed ChIP-seq for TBR1 during mouse cortical neurogenesis and show that TBR1-bound regions are enriched adjacent to ASD genes. ASD genes were also enriched among genes that are differentially expressed in Tbr1 knockouts, which together with the ChIP-seq data, suggests direct transcriptional regulation. Of the 9 ASD genes examined, 7 were misexpressed in the cortices of Tbr1 knockout mice, including 6 with increased expression in the deep cortical layers. ASD genes with adjacent cortical TBR1 ChIP-seq peaks also showed unusually low levels of LoF mutations in a reference human population and among Icelanders. We then leveraged TBR1 binding to identify an appealing subset of candidate ASD genes. Our findings highlight a TBR1-regulated network of ASD genes in the developing neocortex that are relatively intolerant to LoF mutations, indicating that these genes may play critical roles in normal cortical development.
