Excitatory amino acid transporter 1 supports adult hippocampal neural stem cell self-renewal.

ABSTRACT: Within the adult mammalian dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus, glutamate stimulates neural stem cell (NSC) self-renewing proliferation, providing a link between adult neurogenesis and local circuit activity. Here, we show that glutamate-induced self-renewal of adult DG NSCs requires glutamate transport via excitatory amino acid transporter 1 (EAAT1) to stimulate lipogenesis. Loss of EAAT1 prevented glutamate-induced self-renewing proliferation of NSCs in vitro and in vivo, with little role evident for canonical glutamate receptors. Transcriptomics and further pathway manipulation revealed that glutamate simulation of NSCs relied on EAAT1 transport-stimulated lipogenesis, likely secondary to intracellular Ca2+ release and glutamate metabolism. Our findings demonstrate a critical, direct role for EAAT1 in stimulating NSCs to support neurogenesis in adulthood, thereby providing insights into a non-canonical mechanism by which NSCs sense and respond their niche.

Intracrine Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Maintains Hippocampal Neural Stem Cell Quiescence

Project description:In the dentate gyrus (DG) of the adult mouse hippocampus, neural stem cells (NSCs) balance self-renewal and differentiation to produce neurons that support hippocampal function. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a well-known supporting factor for adult neurogenesis, but conflicting studies have left it uncertain how VEGF signals to NSCs. Here, we identified a VEGF-VEGFR2 intracrine signaling mechanism within adult DG NSCs that prevents their exhaustion. We show both in vitro and in vivo that NSC-VEGF loss caused cell-autonomous exhaustion of adult DG NSCs. In contrast, extracellular VEGF was neither necessary nor sufficient to maintain NSC quiescence or to stimulate VEGFR2 signaling, most likely due to sheddase-mediated cleavage of extracellular VEGFR2 ligand binding domains. Our findings support an exclusively intracellular mechanism for VEGF signaling in adult DG NSCs, thereby providing resolution to previously conflicting studies and suggesting cellular source can dictate the functional impact of soluble ligands in DG NSCs.

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.

Histone lysine demethylase JMJD3/KDM6B is required for the establishment of adult hippocampal neurogenesis

Project description:Mutations in the JMJD3 (KDM6B) chromatin regulator are causally associated with autism spectrum disorder and syndromic intellectual disability, but the neurodevelopmental roles of this histone 3 lysine 27 (H3K27) demethylase are poorly understood. Neural stem cells (NSCs) in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) generate new granule neurons throughout life, and deficits in DG neurogenesis are associated with cognitive and behavioral problems. Here we show that Jmjd3 is required for the establishment of adult neurogenesis in the mouse DG. Conditional deletion of Jmjd3 in embryonic DG precursors results in an adult hippocampus that is essentially devoid of NSCs. While early postnatal mice with Jmjd3-deletion have near normal numbers of DG NSCs, at later stages, Jmjd3-deleted NSCs fail to propagate normally. In addition to the loss of NSCs during postnatal development, neurogenesis from Jmjd3-deleted NSCs is impaired, corresponding to defective neurogenic gene expression. Without Jmjd3, NeuroD2 and Bcl11b(Ctip2) are not properly expressed and exhibit increased levels of H3K27me3, underscoring the role of Jmjd3 in the regulation of transcription for neuronal differentiation. Thus, these data indicate that Jmjd3 plays dual roles in postnatal DG neurogenesis, being critical for the establishment of the NSC pool as well as the differentiation of young DG granule neurons. More broadly, our results suggest a neurodevelopmental link between JMJD3 mutations and hippocampal dysfunction, providing new insights into how mutations in chromatin regulators may contribute to learning disorders.

Topoisomerase IIA in Adult NSCs Regulates SVZ Neurogenesis by Transcriptional Activation of Usp37 (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Topoisomerase IIA (TOP2a) has been traditionally known as an important nuclear enzyme that resolves entanglements and relieves torsional stress of DNA double strands. However, little is known about its function in genomic transcriptional regulation, especially during adult neurogenesis. Here, we show that TOP2a is preferentially expressed in neurogenic niches in the brain of adult mice, such as the subventricular zone (SVZ). Conditional knockout of Top2a in adult neural stem cells (NSCs) in the SVZ significantly inhibits their self-renewal and proliferation and ultimately reduces neurogenesis. To gain insight into the molecular mechanisms by which TOP2a regulates adult NSCs, we perform RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-Seq) and identify ubiquitin-specific proteases 37 (Usp37) as a direct TOP2a target gene. Importantly, overexpression of Usp37 is sufficient to rescue the impaired self-renewal ability of adult NSCs caused by Top2a knockdown. Taken together, our proof-of-principle study illustrates a TOP2a/Usp37-mediated novel molecular mechanism of adult neurogenesis, which will significantly expand our understanding of the function of topoisomerase in adult brain.

Gene expression profiling of neural stem cells and their neuronal progeny reveals IGF2 as a regulator of adult hippocampal neurogenesis

Project description:Neural stem cells (NSCs) generate new neurons throughout life in two distinct areas of the mammalian brain: the subventricular zone (SVZ) lining the lateral ventricles and the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG). How gene expression signatures differ among NSCs and immature neurons within and between these adult neurogenic regions is unknown. We isolated NSCs and their progeny using transgenic mice expressing GFP under the control of the Sox2 promoter (labeling NSCs) and transgenic mice expressing DsRed under the control of the doublecortin (Dcx) promoter (labeling immature neurons). Comparison of the transcriptomes of SOX2+ cells derived from both neurogenic areas revealed that NSCs are highly similar but that functionally significant differences in gene expression exist: IGF2, which is expressed only in SOX2+ cells in the DG but not in the SVZ, is required for proliferation of DG-derived but not SVZ-derived NSCs. Gene expression profiles strongly diverged in immature neurons, and we provide evidence that ephrinB3, which was up-regulated only in the DG but not in the SVZ during neuronal differentiation, regulates the survival of newborn granule cells. Thus, the data provided here show that stem cell populations in the adult DG and SVZ are similar but have unique properties that manifest themselves later during neural differentiation, resulting in distinct neuronal populations Hippocampi and SVZ from 6 week old DCX-DsRed and Sox2-GFP Reporter mice were dissected and cell sorted using FACS. cDNA were generated and analysed using Agilent Platform.

Developmental Cytoplasmic-to-Nuclear Translocation of RNA-Binding Protein HuR Is Required for Adult Neurogenesis

Project description:Although neurogenesis in the adult brain recapitulates processes that occur during embryonic development, adult neurogenesis exhibits distinct characteristics from its embryonic counterpart. However, the intrinsic mechanism underlying the differential regulation of neurogenesis between these two stages remains unclear. Herein, we show that the ablation of RNA-binding protein HuR in neural stem cells (NSCs) impairs adult, but not embryonic, neurogenesis. HuR is predominantly expressed in the cytoplasm of embryonic NSCs but translocates into the nucleus of adult NSCs. Transcriptomic analysis of HuR-deficient adult NSCs revealed that nuclear HuR primarily regulates alternative splicing of numerous premRNA transcripts, including focal adhesion kinase (FAK). HuR-deficient adult NSCs generate increased FAK mRNA isoforms with shorter 5’ UTRs, leading to enhanced FAK mRNA translation and hyperactivated FAK signaling, and inhibition of FAK ameliorates defective adult neurogenesis and impaired hippocampus-dependent learning in HuR-deficient mice. Taken together, these findings reveal novel mechanistic insights into the differential regulation of embryonic and adult neurogenesis through developmental cytoplasmic-to-nuclear translocation of HuR in NSCs.
