Spatial Transcriptomics reveals brain regional gene expression profiles in murine model of Periventricular Heterotopia

ABSTRACT: Periventricular Heterotopia (PH) is a malformation of cerebral cortical development characterized by the presence of neurons along the wall of lateral ventricles. The most notable neurological symptoms are seizures that usually first appear when PH becomes evident during the teenage years. Heterozygous loss of function mutations within the FLNA gene in Xq28 are the most frequent cause of familial PH, while the genotype-phenotype correlation has not been well established. We generated a mouse model of PH by conditionally deleting Flna in neural progenitors along with a Flnb null mutation. In this mouse model, periventricular neurons are predominantly generated in postnatal ages. To understand the pathogenesis of PH and the mechanism of postnatal- adult neurogenesis, we assessed transcriptomic alterations resulting from Flna and Flnb double loss of function in the ventricular/subventricular zone (V-SVZ), upper cortical layers, and periventricular neurons, respectively. This dataset reveals spatially-dependent differential gene expressions between PH and their normal control counterparts at 3 months of age.

Altered migratory trajectories in cerebral organoids derived from individuals with neuronal heterotopia

Project description:Malformations of the human cortex represent a major cause of disability. Mouse models with mutations in known causal genes only partially recapitulate the phenotypes and are therefore not unlimitedly suited for understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms responsible for these conditions. Here we study periventricular heterotopia (PH) by analyzing cerebral organoids derived from induced pluripotent stem cells of patients with mutations in the cadherin receptor-ligand pair DCHS1 and FAT4 or from isogenic knock-out lines. Our results show that human cerebral organoids reproduce the cortical heterotopia associated with PH. Mutations in DCHS1 and FAT4 or knock-down of their expression cause changes in the morphology of neural progenitor cells and result in defective neuronal migration dynamics only in a subset of neurons. Single-cell RNA-sequencing data reveal a subpopulation of mutant neurons with dysregulated genes involved in axon guidance, neuronal migration and patterning. We suggest that defective neural progenitor cell (NPC) morphology and an altered navigation system in a subset of neurons underlie this form of periventricular heterotopia.

Spatial centrosome proteome of human neural cells uncovers novel interactors and disease hubs

Project description:Despite the crucial importance of the centrosome in brain development and disease, its comprehensive proteome remains uncharacterized in neural cells. Here, we used spatial proteomics to elucidate protein interaction networks at the centrosome of iPSC-derived human neural stem cells (NSCs) and neurons. Centrosome-associated proteins were largely cell-type specific, with protein hubs involved in RNA-dynamics. Analysis of neurodevelopmental disease cohorts identified a significant overrepresentation of NSC centrosome proteins with variants in patients with periventricular heterotopia (PH). Expressing the PH-associated mutant splicing factor PRPF6 reproduced the periventricular misplacement in the developing mouse brain, highlighting mis-splicing of transcripts of the MAP-kinase SAD-A at centrosomal location as essential for the phenotype. Collectively, cell-type specific centrosome interactomes explain how genetic variants in ubiquitous proteins may convey brain-specific phenotypes.

ECE2 regulates Neurogenesis and Neuronal Migration during Cortical Development.

Project description:During embryonic development, the cerebral cortex is equipped with excitatory projection and inhibitory interneurons that migrate in organized layers. Periventricular heterotopia (PH) is a rare and heterogeneous disorder in which a subpopulation of new-born projection neurons fails to initiate their radial migration to the cortex, ultimately resulting in bands or nodules of grey matter lining the lateral ventricles underneath a normal cortex. For many years, few genes had been identified that cause this disorder upon disruption, but recently it was shown that PH is genetically a very heterogeneous disease. Here, we study the neurodevelopmental role of endothelin converting enzyme 2 (ECE2), biallelic mutations in which have been identified in two patients with PH. Our results show that manipulation of ECE2 levels or activity in human cerebral organoids and in the developing mouse cortex leads to ectopic localization of neural progenitors and neurons. We uncover the role of ECE2 in neurogenesis and, mechanistically, we identify its involvement in generation and secretion of extracellular matrix and in protein phosphorylation. This strongly suggests ECE2 as a novel candidate gene for PH.

Mutations in the microtubule-associated protein Eml1 lead to ectopic progenitors and heterotopia formation during cortical development in mouse and human

Project description:Neuronal migration disorders such as lissencephaly and subcortical band heterotopia (SBH) are associated with epilepsy and intellectual disability. Doublecortin (DCX), LIS1 and alpha1-tubulin (TUBA1A), are mutated in these disorders, however corresponding mouse mutants do not show heterotopic neurons in the neocortex. On the other hand, the spontaneously arisen HeCo mouse mutant displays this phenotype. The study of this model reveals novel mechanisms of heterotopia formation. While, HeCo neurons migrate at the same speed as WT, abnormally distributed dividing progenitors were found throughout the cortical wall from E13. Through genetic studies we identified Eml1 as the mutant gene in HeCo mice. No full length transcripts of Eml1 were identified due to a retrotransposon insertion in an intron. Re-expression of Eml1, coding for a microtubule-associated protein, rescues the HeCo progenitor phenotype. We further show that EML1 is mutated in giant ribbon-like heterotopia in human. Our data link abnormal spindle orientations, ectopic progenitors and severe heterotopia in mouse and human. 16 samples analyzed corresponding to 8 wild type brain and 8 HeCo mutant brain

Brain heterotopia formation by ciliopathic breakdown of neuroepithelial and blood-cerebrospinal fluid barriers

Project description:In this study, we found that ablation of genes encoding ciliary transport proteins such as intraflagellar transport homolog 88 (Ift88) and kinesin family member 3a (Kif3a) in cortical radial progenitors led to periventricular heterotopia during late mouse embryogenesis. Conditional mutation of primary cilia unexpectedly caused breakdown of both the neuroepithelial lining and the blood-choroid plexus barrier. Choroidal leakage was partially caused by enlargement of the choroid plexus in the cilia mutants. We found that the choroid plexus expressed platelet-derived growth factor A (Pdgf-A) and that Pdgf-A expression was ectopically increased in cilia-mutant embryos. Cortices obtained from embryos in utero electroporated with Pdgfa mimicked periventricular heterotopic nodules of the cilia mutant.

Embryonic cortical extract mass spectrometry to identify EML1 interactors

Project description:The cerebral cortex is a highly organized structure whose development depends on different progenitor cell types. These give rise to post-mitotic neurons that migrate across the developing cortical wall to their final positions in the cortical plate. Apical radial glia cells (aRGs) are the main progenitor type in early corticogenesis, responsible for the production of other progenitors, and regulating the final neuronal output. Abnormal behavior of aRG can severely impact corticogenesis resulting in cortical malformations. Mutations in the microtubule associated protein Eml1 lead to severe subcortical heterotopia, characterized by the presence of aberrantly located neurons beneath the normotopic cortex. Mutations in EML1/Eml1 have been reported in three families presenting severe atypical heterotopia, as well as in the Heterotopic cortex ‘HeCo’ spontaneous mouse mutant. In the latter, ectopically cycling aRGs were found cycling outside their normal proliferative ventricular zone (VZ) from early stages of corticogenesis (Croquelois et al., 2009, Kielar et al., 2014, Shaheen et al., 2017). Ectopic aRGs are likely to be responsible for the formation of the heterotopia. It is thus crucial to understand the role of Eml1 in aRGs to elucidate the physiological and pathological mechanisms causing aRGs to leave the VZ. The role of Eml1 in aRGs remains vastly unexplored. We have thus performed mass spectrometry with embryonic cortex lysates (E13.5) to shed light on the intracellular pathways and molecular mechanisms in which Eml1 could be involved. This data combined with other cell biology and biochemistry approaches will contribute to understand the role of this heterotopia protein at early stages of development.

Loss of BAF (mSWI/SNF) Chromatin-remodeling ATPase Brg1 causes multiple malformations of cortical development in mice

Project description:Mutations in genes encoding subunits of the BAF (BRG1/BRM-associated factor) complex cause various neurodevelopmental diseases. However, the underlying pathophysiology remains largely unknown. Here, we analyzed the function of Brg1, a core ATPase of BAF complexes, in the developing cerebral cortex. Loss of Brg1 causes several morphological defects resembling human malformations of cortical development (MCDs), including microcephaly, cortical dysplasia, cobblestone lissencephaly, and periventricular heterotopia. We demonstrated that neural progenitor cell (NPC) renewal, neuronal differentiation, neuronal migration, apoptotic cell death, pial basement membrane, and apical junctional complexes, which are associated with MCD formation, were impaired after Brg1 deletion. Furthermore, transcriptome profiling indicated that a large number of genes were deregulated. The deregulated genes were closely related to MCD formation, and most of these genes were bound by Brg1. Cumulatively, our study indicates an essential role of Brg1 in cortical development and provides a new possible pathogenesis underlying Brg1-based BAF complex-related neurodevelopmental disorders.
