Downstream targets of Pax6 in the early developing rat brains

ABSTRACT: Pax6 is a transcription factor that is expressed in neuroepithelial cells from the initial stage of brain development. Region specific expression of Pax6 plays pivotal roles in the developing CNS, including brain patterning, neuronal specification, neuronal migration, and axonal projection. Regarding neurogenesis, Pax6 multiply works either as to promote neuronal differentiation or cell proliferation in a highly context-dependent manner. However, no Pax6 target gene is identified as to promote proliferation and/or inhibit differentiation of neuroepithelial cells. Here, we performed comparative analysis using the Affymetrix U34A array to identify genes that are differentially expressed in the early stage of wild-type and Pax6 homozygous mutant rat (rSey2/rSey2) brains. Keywords = Pax6 transcription factor Keywords = rat Keywords = forebrain and hindbrain regions of the wild-type or Pax6 homozygous embryos Keywords = up-or down-regulated genes Keywords: ordered

Pax6 targets in neural stem cells

Project description:Pax6 is a highly conserved transcription factor among vertebrates and is important in various aspects of the central nervous system (CNS) development. However, the gene regulatory circuitry of Pax6 underlying these functions remains elusive. We find that, following expression in neural progenitor cells, Pax6 targets many promoters embedded in an active chromatin environment. Intriguingly, many of these sites are also bound by another progenitor factor, Sox2, which cooperates with Pax6 in gene regulation. A combinatorial analysis of Pax6 binding dataset with transcriptome changes in Pax6-deficient neural progenitors reveals a dual role for Pax6, in which it activates the neuronal (ectodermal) genes while concurrently represses the mesodermal and endodermal genes thereby ensuring the unidirectionality of lineage commitment towards glutamatergic neuronal differentiation. Furthermore, Pax6 is critical for inducing activity of transcription factors that elicit neurogenesis and repress others that promote non-neuronal lineages. In addition to many established downstream effectors, Pax6 directly binds and activates a number of genes that are specifically expressed in neural progenitors but have not been previously implicated in neurogenesis. The in utero knockdown of one such gene, Ift74, during brain development impairs polarity and migration of new-born neurons. These findings demonstrate new aspects of the gene regulatory circuitry of Pax6, revealing how it functions to control neuronal development at multiple levels to ensure unidirectionality and proper execution of the neurogenic program.

Pax6 mutant neocortex vs. wild type

Project description:Pax6 is a transcription factor with key functional roles in embryonic development. In order to identify downstream effectors of Pax6 in the developing cerebral cortex we performed microarray analysis. We compared gene expression profiles of cortical tissues isolated from wild type and Pax6-/- mouse embryos. In order to identify Pax6 downstream targets we carried out microarray analysis of Pax6-/- mutant mice. Pax6 is highly expressed in the mouse cerebral cortex at embryonic day E14.5, therefore we selected this tissue in order to compare gene expression profiles between wild type and Pax6-/- homozygous cortici. RNA samples were isolated from three mutant and three wild type embryos.

Regulation of Tlx3 by Pax6 is required for the restricted expression of ChrnÎ±3 in Cerebellar Granule Neuron progenitors during development

Project description:Homeobox gene Tlx3 is known to promote glutamatergic differentiation and is expressed in post-mitotic neurons of CNS. Contrary to this here, we discovered that Tlx3 is expressed in the proliferating progenitors of the external granule layer in the cerebellum, and examined factors that regulate this expression. Using Pax6-/-Sey mouse model and molecular interaction studies we demonstrate Pax6 is a key activator of Tlx3 specifically in cerebellum, and induces its expression starting at embryonic day (E)15. By Postnatal day (PN)7, Tlx3 is expressed in a highly restricted manner in the cerebellar granule neurons of the posterior cerebellar lobes, where it is required for the restricted expression of nicotinic cholinergic receptor-Î±3 subunit (ChrnÎ±3) and other genes involved in formation of synaptic connections and neuronal migration. These results demonstrate a novel role for Tlx3 and indicate that Pax6-Tlx3 expression and interaction is part of a region specific regulatory network in cerebellum and its deregulation during development could possibly lead to Autistic spectral disorders (ASD) Anterior and posterior lobes of PN7 mouse cerebellum were isolated separately and differentially expressed genes were identified.

Identification of a core cross-regulatory neurogenic network regulated by the transcription factor Pax6 interacting with Brg1-containing SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex

Project description:The molecular mechanisms of neurogenic fate determination are of particular importance in light of the need to regenerate neurons. However the molecular logic of neurogenic fate determination is still ill understood, even though some key transcription factors have been implicated. Here we describe how one of these, the transcription factor Pax6, regulates adult neurogenesis by initiating a cross-regulatory network of 3 transcription factors executing neuronal fate and regulating genes required for neuronal differentiation. This network is initiated and driven to sufficiently high expression levels by the transcription factor Pax6 in close interaction with Brg1-containing SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling factors. Genetic deletion of either Pax6 or Brg1, the ATPase unit of the SWI/SNF complex, in neural stem cells of the adult mouse subependymal zone results in a fate conversion to distinct glial subtypes most pronounced when neuroblasts leave the neurogenic niche. Consistent with the phenocopy in vivo virtually all genes down-regulated by Brg1 deletion have Pax6-binding motifs. Amongst the few down-stream transcription factors are Sox11, Nfib and Brn4 that crossregulate each other and rescue neurogenesis also in direct reprogramming in the absence of Brg1 (or Pax6). Thus the function of Pax6-SWI/SNF is necessary and sufficient for neuronal fate maintenance and initiates a cross-regulatory effector network required for neuronal fate execution and maintenance to counteract glial differentiation in the adult brain. This identifies a novel role highly specific role of a chromatin-remodelling complex in stabilizing fate decisions in normal and forced neurogenesis. We performed gene expression microarray analysis on tissue derived from the SEZ or from the core region of the olfactory bulb from Brg1 cKO and control mice

Expression data from the telencephalon of wild-type and rSey2/rSey2 rats

Project description:Pax6 is one of the important transcription factors involved in regional specification and neurogenesis in the developing cortex. To identify candidate target genes of Pax6, we performed transcriptome analyses of wild-type (WT) and Pax6 homozygous mutant rats (rSey2/rSey2) telencephalons at E11.5 within a day of onset of Pax6 expression. In our transcriptome analyses, down-regulated genes in the rSey2/rSey2 rat exhibited larger fold changes, whereas up-regulated genes had relatively small fold changes.

PAX6 mutation alters circadian rhythm and β cell function in mice without affecting glucose tolerance

Project description:The transcription factor PAX6 is involved in the development of the eye and pancreatic islets, besides being associated with sleep-wake cycles. Here, we investigated a point mutation in the RED subdomain of PAX6, previously described in a human patient, to present a comprehensive study of a homozygous Pax6 mutation in the context of adult mammalian metabolism and circadian rhythm. Pax6Leca2 mice lack appropriate retinal structures for light perception and do not display normal daily rhythmic changes in energy metabolism. Despite β cell dysfunction and decreased insulin secretion, mutant mice have normal glucose tolerance. This is associated with reduced hepatic glucose production possibly due to altered circadian variation in expression of clock and metabolic genes, thereby evading hyperglycemia. Hence, our findings show that while the RED subdomain is important for β cell functional maturity, the Leca2 mutation impacts peripheral metabolism via loss of circadian rhythm, thus revealing pleiotropic effects of PAX6.
