Bulk tissue RNA-seq of in vitro macaque fetal cortical neural stem cells

ABSTRACT: Early telencephalic development involves patterning of the distinct regions and fate specification of the neural stem cells (NSCs). These processes, mainly characterized in rodents, remain elusive in primates and thus our understanding of conserved and species-specific features. Here, we profiled 761,529 single-cell transcriptomes from multiple regions of the prenatal macaque telencephalon. We defined the molecular programs of the early organizing centers and their cross-talk with NSCs, finding primatebiased signaling active in the antero-ventral telencephalon. Regional transcriptomic divergences were evident at early states of neocortical NSC progression and in differentiated neurons and astrocytes, more than in intermediate transitions. Finally, we show that neuropsychiatric disease- and brain cancerrisk genes have putative early roles in the telencephalic organizers’ activity and across cortical NSC progression.

Molecular programs of regional specification and neural stem cell fate progression in developing macaque telencephalon

Project description:During early telencephalic development, intricate processes of regional patterning and neural stem cell (NSC) fate specification take place. However, our understanding of these processes in primates, including both conserved and species-specific features, remains limited. Here, we profiled 761,529 single-cell transcriptomes from multiple regions of the prenatal macaque telencephalon. We deciphered the molecular programs of the early organizing centers and their cross-talk with NSCs, revealing primatebiased galanin-like peptide (GALP) signaling in the antero-ventral telencephalon. Regional transcriptomic variations were observed along the fronto-temporal axis during early stages of neocortical NSC progression and in neurons and astrocytes. Additionally, we found that genes associated with neuropsychiatric disorders and brain cancer risk might play critical roles in the early telencephalic organizers and during NSC progression.

Variation of human neural stem cells generating organizer states in vitro before committing to cortical excitatory or inhibitory neuronal fates [human RNAseq #1]

Project description:Better understanding the progression of neural stem cells (NSCs) in the developing cerebral cortex is important for modeling neurogenesis and defining the pathogenesis of neuropsychiat-ric disorders. Here we used RNA-sequencing, cell imaging and lineage tracing of mouse and human in vitro NSCs to model the generation of cortical neuronal fates. We show that con-served signaling mechanisms regulate the acute transition from proliferative NSCs to commit-ted glutamatergic excitatory neurons. As human telencephalic NSCs developed from pluripo-tentcy in vitro, they first transitioned through organizer states that spatially pattern the cortex before generating glutamatergic precursor fates. NSCs derived from multiple human pluripotent lines varied in these early states leading differentially to dorsal or ventral telencephalic fates. This work furthers systematic analysis of the earliest patterning events that generate the major neuronal trajectories of the human telencephalon. The gene amplitudes for the GWCoGAPS patterns in this data can be found in the supplemental files.

CCN1 forms a complex with GPC4 and heparin to fine tune signaling activities for embryonic cortical neural stem cell maintenance

Project description:Radial glial cells (RGCs) are the neural stem cells (NSCs) in the developing brain, capable of self-renewing and generating neurons and glia in order. The developmental behaviors of NSCs are determined by extrinsic factors from the NSC niche, together with intrinsic factors. Here, we show that Cellular Communication Network 1 (CCN1), a secreted matricellular protein, is an autocrine factor derived from RGCs in the embryonic telencephalon. Loss of Ccn1 in RGCs leads to accelerated lineage progression of RGCs, and causes premature cell cycle exit and neuronal differentiation, resulting in a reduction in NSC pool size, disruption of the cortical projection neurons generation, and in turn, at the expense of the perinatal gliogenesis. Mechanistically, CCN1 interacts with an RGC-expressed membrane protein GPC4, one of the heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs), and is required for GPC4 to maintain NSCs through the Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) signaling pathway, depending on the binding of heparin to CCN1. Our work provides a potential mechanism for the dynamic and sophisticated interconnections of niche components that meet the needs of context-dependent maintenance, differentiation, and fate determination of NSCs.

Early Stem Cell Aging in the Mature Brain

Project description:Stem cell dysfunction drives many age-related disorders. Identifying mechanisms that initially compromise stem cell behavior represent early targets to enhance stem cell function later in life. Here, we pinpoint multiple factors that disrupt neural stem cell (NSC) behavior in the adult hippocampus. Clonal tracing showed that NSCs exhibit asynchronous depletion by identifying short-term (ST-NSC) and long-term NSCs (LT-NSCs). ST-NSC divide rapidly to generate neurons and deplete in the young brain. Meanwhile, multipotent LT-NSCs are maintained for months, but are pushed out of homeostasis by lengthening quiescence. Single cell transcriptome analysis of deep NSC quiescence revealed several hallmarks of molecular aging in the mature brain and identified tyrosine-protein kinase Abl1 as an NSC pro-aging factor. Treatment with the Abl-inhibitor Imatinib increased NSC proliferation without impairing NSC maintenance in the middle-aged brain. Our study indicates that hippocampal NSCs are particularly vulnerable to cellular aging, yet NSC function can be partially restored.

Enhanced cortical neural stem cell identity through SMAD/WNT inhibition in human cerebral organoids facilitates emergence of outer radial glial cells

Project description:Cerebral organoids exhibit broad regional heterogeneity accompanied by limited cortical cellular diversity despite the tremendous upsurge in derivation methods, suggesting inadequate patterning of early neural stem cells (NSCs). Here we show that a short and early dual-SMAD/WNT inhibition course is necessary and sufficient for establishing robust and lasting cortical organoid NSC identity, efficiently suppressing of non-cortical NSC fates, while other widely used methods are inconsistent in their cortical NSC specification capacity. Accordingly, this method selectively enriches for outer radial glia (oRG) NSCs, which cytoarchitecturally demarcate well-defined outer sub-ventricular (oSVZ)-like regions propagating from superiorly radially organized, apical cortical rosette NSCs. Finally, this method culminates in the emergence of molecularly distinct deep and upper cortical layer neurons, and reliably uncovers cortex-specific microcephaly defects. Thus, a short SMAD/WNT inhibition is critical for establishing a rich cortical cell repertoire that enables mirroring fundamental molecular and cytoarchitectural features of cortical development and meaningful disease modeling.

Interleukin-4 induces neural stem cell plasticity by antagonizing Serotonin/HTR1 signaling that suppresses BDNF/NGFRA in adult zebrafish Alzheimer's disease model

Project description:In Alzheimer’s disease (AD), reduced neural stem cell (NSC) plasticity causes reduced neurogenesis. Therefore, supplying the brain with new neurons using endogenous neurogenic reservoir – NSCs - might counteract the progression of AD. However, the mechanisms that enhance NSC plasticity are unknown. We recently generated an AD model in adult zebrafish brain where NSCs could react by enhanced plasticity and neurogenesis, and identified Interleukin-4 (IL4) as a key factor underlying this ability. Although IL4 directly regulated NSCs through its receptor IL4R, it was not clear how IL4R-negative NSCs would enhance their proliferation. Here, by performing whole tissue and single cell transcriptomics, we report that IL4 regulates IL4R-negative NSCs through modulating tryptophan metabolism by reducing the availability of Serotonin (5-HT) that suppresses NSC plasticity. 5-HT receptor htr1+ is only expressed in periventricular neurons where 5-HT balances the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (bdnf), which promotes NSC proliferation through its receptor NGFRA, which is predominantly expressed in IL4R-negative NSCs. AD conditions induce IL4 that reduce 5-HT levels, and suppresses the suppressive effect on BDNF levels. Elevated levels of BDNF activate, through NGFRA, the proliferative output of the IL4R-negative NSCs. 5-HT overexpression dramatically reduces BDNF and proliferative ability of NSCs. Our results identify a novel IL4-dependent balancing mechanism on NSC proliferation by 5-HT through an intermediary regulatory cascade via HTR1, and BDNF/NGFRA signaling between periventricular neurons and NSCs. Our findings mark the heterogeneity of NSCs in response to direct or indirect regulation by IL4 – a biomarker for neurodegeneration-induced NSC plasticity.

NSC-derived exosomes enhance therapeutic effects of NSC transplantation on cerebral ischemia in mice

Project description:Transplantation of neural stem cells (NSCs) has been proved to promote functional rehabilitation of brain lesions including ischemic stroke. However, the therapeutic effects of NSC transplantation is limited by the low survival and differentiation rates of NSCs due to the harsh environment in the brain after ischemic stroke. Here, we employed NSCs derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) together with exosomes extracted from NSCs to treat cerebral ischemia induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) in mice. The results showed that NSC-derived exosomes significantly reduced the inflammatory response, alleviated oxidative stress after NSC transplantation, and facilitated NSCs differentiation in vivo. The combination of NSCs with exosomes ameliorated the injury of brain tissue including cerebral infarct, neuronal death and glial scarring, and promoted the motor function recovery. To explore the underlying mechanisms, we analyzed the miRNA profiles of NSC-derived exosomes and the potential downstream genes. Our study provided the rationale for the clinical application of NSC-derived exosomes as a supportive adjuvant for NSC transplantation after stroke.

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.
