Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Regulates Progenitor Balance and Upper Layer Neuronal Generation During the Development and Evolution of the Cerebral Cortex

ABSTRACT: Radial progenitors serve to coordinate the generation and placement of appropriate numbers and types of neurons in the developing cerebral cortex. Radial progenitors divide asymmetrically to generate neurogenic intermediate progenitors (IPs) and the symmetric proliferation of IPs rapidly expands cortical neuronal population. The temporal maintenance of a balanced diversity of cortical progenitors and the resultant generation, placement, and connectivity of appropriate numbers of different classes of neurons serve as a blueprint to guide the formation of a properly wired cerebral cortex. Here, we show that Tuberous Sclerosis Complex proteins function to facilitate radial progenitor/intermediate progenitor balance and the generation of upper-layer neurons. Regulation of TSC expression levels during human brain evolution may lead to the expanded generation of upper-layer neurons necessary for higher-order brain functions in humans.

Single cell RNA-sequencing of 75-day old human H1 and H9 embryonic stem cell-derived cerebral organoids

Project description:The scRNA-seq analysis of 75 day old human cerebral organoids grown at the air-liquid interface (ALI-COs) reveals six well-defined major clusters. Cell-type and maturity markers define a (1) distinct population of deep layer subcortical projection neurons, (2) upper layer intracortical (callosal) projection neurons and intermediate progenitors, (3) ventricular and subventricular zone radial glial cells, (4) more mature upper and deep layer neurons, (5) interneurons and (6) actively dividing cells with intermediate progenitor and radial glia markers. In addition, the gene expression profile of these clusters corresponds with their expected functional characteristics appropriate to their maturity. Altogether, our data reflect a full repertoire of cortical neuronal and progenitor identities corresponding with the stages of cortical development in age-matched fetal brains.

A dynamic unfolded protein response contributes to the control of cortical neurogenesis

Project description:The cerebral cortex contains layers of neurons sequentially generated by distinct lineage-related progenitors. At the onset of corticogenesis, the first-born progenitors are apical progenitors (APs) whose asymmetric division give birth directly to neurons. Later, they switch to indirect neurogenesis by generating intermediate progenitors (IPs), which give rise to projection neurons of all cortical layers. While a direct lineage relationship between APs and IPs has been established, the molecular mechanism that controls their transition remains elusive. Our data suggest that interfering with codon translation speed triggers endoplasmic reticulum stress and the unfolded protein response (UPR), further impairing the generation of IPs and leading to microcephaly. Moreover, we demonstrate that a progressive downregulation of UPR in cortical progenitors acts as physiological signal to amplify IPs and promotes indirect neurogenesis. Thus, our findings reveal a hitherto unrecognized contribution of UPR to cell fate acquisition during mammalian brain development.

TRNP1 regulates expansion and folding of the mammalian cerebral cortex by control of radial glial fate

Project description:Evolution of the mammalian brain encompassed a remarkable increase in size of cerebral cortex, including tangential and radial expansion, but the mechanisms underlying these key parameters are still largely unknown. Here, we identified the novel DNA associated protein TRNP1 as a regulator of cerebral cortical expansion in both these dimensions. Gain and loss of function experiments in the mouse cerebral cortex in vivo demonstrate that high Trnp1 levels promote neural stem cell self-renewal and tangential expansion, while lower levels promote radial expansion resulting in a potent increase in the generation of intermediate progenitors and outer radial glial cells resulting in folding of the otherwise smooth murine cerebral cortex. Remarkably, TRNP1 expression levels exhibit regional differences also in the cerebral cortex of human fetuses anticipating radial or tangential expansion respectively. Thus, the dynamic regulation of TRNP1 is critical to regulate tangential and radial expansion of the cerebral cortex in mammals. We performed gene expression microarray analysis on embryonic mouse cerebral cortex derived from Trnp1 knockdown and control animals.

The role of Insulinoma associated 1 protein in the development of the mammalian neocortex

Project description:Basal (intermediate) progenitors are the major source of neurons in the mammalian cerebral cortex. The molecular machinery governing basal progenitor biogenesis is unknown. Here we show that the zinc finger transcription factor Insm1 (insulinoma-associated 1) is expressed specifically in progenitors undergoing neurogenic divisions and has a key role in basal progenitor formation. Mouse embryos lacking Insm1 contained half the number of basal progenitors and showed a marked reduction in cortical plate radial thickness. Forced premature expression of Insm1 in neuroepithelial cells resulted in their mitosis occurring at the basal (rather than apical) side of the ventricular zone and induced expression of the basal progenitor marker Tbr2. Remarkably, these cells remained negative for Tis21, a marker of neurogenic progenitors, and did not generate neurons but underwent self-amplification. Our data imply that Insm1 is involved in the generation and expansion of basal progenitors, a hallmark of cerebral cortex evolution. Keywords: knock out, genetic modification,

Cell-to-cell adhesion and neurogenesis in human cortical development: a study comparing 2D monolayers with 3D organoid cultures

Project description:Organoids (ORG) are increasingly used as models of cerebral cortical development. Here we compared transcriptome and cellular phenotypes between ORG and monolayers (MON) generated in parallel from three biologically distinct iPSC lines. Multiple read-outs revealed increased proliferation in MON, which was caused by increased integrin signaling. MON also exhibited altered radial glia polarity, global suppression of Notch signaling and impaired generation of intermediate progenitors (INP), outer radial glia (oRG) and cortical neurons, which were all partially reversed by reaggregation of dissociated cells into organoids. Network analyses revealed co-clustering of cell adhesion, Notch- related transcripts their transcriptional regulators in a module strongly downregulated in MON. The data suggest that cortical ORG, with respect to MON, initiates more efficient Notch signaling in ventricular radial glia owing to preserved cell adhesion, resulting in subsequent generation of INP and oRG, in a sequence that better recapitulates the evolution of the cortical ontogenetic process.

Differential expression levels of Sox9 in early neocortical radial glial cells regulate the decision between stem cell maintenance and differentiation

Project description:Radial glial progenitor cells (RGCs) in the dorsal forebrain directly or indirectly produce excitatory projection neurons and macroglia of the neocortex. Recent evidence shows that the pool of RGCs is more heterogeneous than originally thought and that progenitor subpopulations can generate particular neuronal cell types. Using single cell RNA sequencing, we have studied gene expression patterns of two subtypes of RGCs that differ in their neurogenic behavior. One progenitor type rapidly produces postmitotic neurons, whereas the second progenitor remains relatively quiescence before generating neurons. We have identified candidate genes that are differentially expressed between these RGCs progenitor subtypes, including the transcription factor Sox9. Using in utero electroporation, we demonstrate that elevated Sox9 expression in progenitors prevents RGC division and leads to the generation of upper-layer cortical neurons from these progenitors at later ages. Our data thus reveal molecular differences between cortical progenitors with different neurogenic behavior and indicates that Sox9 is critical for the maintenance of RGCs to regulate the generation of upper layer neurons.

Single cell RNA-sequencing of 90-day old astrocyte conditioned medium treated forebrain organoids (ACMOs) and control forebrain organoids

Project description:The scRNA-seq analysis of 90-day old ACMOs and forebrain organoids reveals six well-defined major clusters. All cells were categorized into six distinct clusters: (1) deep layer subcortical projection neurons, (2) upper layer projection neurons, (3) intermediate progenitors, (4) radial glial cells, (5) dividing cells, (6) astrocytes. Both ACMOs and control organoids underwent a correct trajectory of cell diversification and contained a large diversity of progenitor and neuronal cell types belonging to the neuroectodermal lineage. Transcriptomic comparisons and pathway enrichment analysis were performed between control organoids and ACMOs.
