Knockout of all nematode-specific NSPC genes expressed exclusively in excretory gland cell results in transcriptomic signatures indicating affected insulin signaling

ABSTRACT: The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is one of the best-studied model organisms in molecular biology; however, many aspects of its physiology and the functions of many genes remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the role of nematode-specific NSPC proteins, recently identified as primary targets of poly(A) polymerase TENT-5. Surprisingly, we found that NSPCs are exclusively expressed in the excretory gland cell, a cell with still unclear functionality. Using an optogenetic approach, we precisely ablated the excretory gland cell and observed that nematodes exhibited no transcriptomic or physiological changes in its absence. Additionally, we generated and thoroughly studied a strain with deletion of all 18 NSPC genes, which revealed that, despite previous indications, NSPCs lack antimicrobial activity. Instead, the transcriptomic analysis showed that the absence of NSPCs strongly impacts DAF-2/DAF-16 insulin signaling, suggesting that NSPCs may function as neuropeptides influencing key C. elegans signaling pathways. Although further studies are required to elucidate the physiological effects of this regulation, our findings provide new insights into this unexplored part of nematode physiology.

Metabolic control of adult neural stem cell self-renewal by the mitochondrial protease YME1L

Project description:The transition between quiescence and activation in neural stem and progenitor cells (NSPCs) is coupled to reversible changes in energy metabolism with key implications for life-long NSPC self-renewal and neurogenesis. How this metabolic plasticity is ensured between NSPC activity states is unclear. We find that a state-specific rewiring of the mitochondrial proteome by the i-AAA peptidase YME1L is required to preserve NSPC self-renewal. YME1L controls the abundance of numerous mitochondrial substrates in quiescent NSPCs, and its deletion activates a differentiation program characterized by broad metabolic changes causing the irreversible shift away from a fatty acid oxidation-dependent state. Conditional Yme1l deletion in adult NSPCs in vivo results in defective self-renewal and premature differentiation, ultimately leading to NSPC pool depletion. Our results disclose an important role for YME1L in coordinating the switch between metabolic states of NSPCs and suggest that NSPC fate is regulated by compartmentalized changes in protein network dynamics.

A fatty acid oxidation-dependent metabolic shift regulates adult neural stem cell quiescence

Project description:Adult hippocampal neurogenesis is important for certain forms of cognition and failing neurogenesis has been implicated in neuropsychiatric diseases. The neurogenic capacity of hippocampal neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) depends on a balance between quiescent and proliferative states. However, how this balance is regulated remains poorly understood. Here we show that the rate of fatty acid oxidation (FAO) defines quiescence vs. proliferation in NSPCs. Quiescent NSPCs show high levels of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1a (Cpt1a)-dependent FAO, which is downregulated in proliferating NSPCs. Pharmacological inhibition and conditional deletion of Cpt1a in vitro and in vivo leads to altered NSPC behavior, showing that Cpt1a-dependent FAO is required for stem cell maintenance and proper neurogenesis. Strikingly, experimental manipulation of malonyl-CoA, the metabolite that regulates levels of FAO, is sufficient to induce exit from quiescence and to enhance NSPC proliferation. Thus, the data presented here identify a shift in FAO metabolism that governs NSPC behavior and suggest an instructive role for fatty acid metabolism in regulating NSPC activity.

Lipid droplet availability affects neural stem/progenitor cell metabolism and proliferation

Project description:Neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) generate new neurons throughout adulthood. However, the underlying regulatory processes are still not fully understood. Lipid metabolism plays an important role in regulating NSPC activity: build-up of lipids is crucial for NSPC proliferation, whereas break-down of lipids has been shown to regulate NSPC quiescence. Despite their central role for cellular lipid metabolism, the role of lipid droplets (LDs), the lipid storing organelles, in NSPCs remains underexplored. Here we show that LDs are highly abundant in adult mouse NSPCs, and that LD accumulation is significantly altered upon fate changes such as quiescence and differentiation. NSPC proliferation is influenced by the number of LDs, inhibition of LD build-up, breakdown or usage, and the asymmetric inheritance of LDs during mitosis. Furthermore, high LD-containing NSPCs have increased metabolic activity and capacity, but do not suffer from increased oxidative damage. Together, these data indicate an instructive role for LDs in driving NSPC behaviour.

The role of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt) in hippocampal neural stem/progenitor cells

Project description:Neural stem/progenitor cell (NSPC) proliferation and self-renewal, as well as insult-induced differentiation, decrease markedly with age, but the molecular mechanisms responsible for these declines remain unclear. Here we show that levels of NAD+ and nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt), the rate-limiting enzyme in mammalian NAD+ biosynthesis, decrease with age in the hippocampus. Ablation of Nampt in adult NSPCs reduced their pool and proliferation in vivo. The decrease in the NSPC pool during aging can be rescued by enhancing hippocampal NAD+ levels. Nampt is the main source of NSPC NAD+ levels and required for G1/S progression of the NSPC cell cycle. Nampt is also critical for oligodendrocytic lineage fate decisions through a mechanism mediated redundantly by Sirt1 and Sirt2. Ablation of Nampt in the adult NSPCs in vivo reduced NSPC-mediated oligodendrogenesis upon injury. These phenotypes recapitulate defects in NSPCs during aging, implicating Nampt-mediated NAD+ biosynthesis as a mediator of these age-associated functional declines. Total RNA obtained from neurospheres derived from postnatal hippocampi subjected to 48 hours in vitro of incubation with Nampt-specific inhibitor FK866 (10 nM, 4 samples) or vehicle (DMSO, 1:1000, 4 samples).

Metabolic control of adult neural stem cell activity by FASN-dependent lipogenesis

Project description:Mechanisms controlling the proliferative activity of neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) play a pivotal role to ensure life-long neurogenesis in the mammalian brain. How metabolic programs are coupled with NSPC activity remains unknown. Here we show that fatty acid synthase (FASN), the key enzyme of de novo lipogenesis, is highly active in adult NSPCs and that conditional deletion of FASN in NSPCs impairs adult neurogenesis. The rate of de novo lipid synthesis and subsequent proliferation of NSPCs is regulated by Spot14, a gene we found to be selectively expressed in low proliferating adult NSPCs. Spot14 reduces the availability of malonyl-CoA, which is an essential substrate for FASN to fuel lipogenesis. Thus, we here identified a functional coupling between the regulation of lipid metabolism and adult NSPC proliferation. 6 samples were analyzed. Spot14+: Spot14 GFP positive mouse neural stem cell, 3 biological rep Spot14-: Spot14 GFP negative mouse neural stem cell, 3 biological rep

Transcriptomic analysis of Bmi1 overexpression in NSPC.

Project description:We have previously shown that conditional overexpression of Bmi1 in NSC increases their proliferation both in the developing neocortexand in the postnatal brain (Yadirgi et al. 2011). However, during embryonic development, increased and ectopic proliferation induced by overexpression of Bmi1 in progenitors committed toward a neuronal lineage triggered apoptosis, leading eventually to a reduced overall brain size (Yadirgi et al. 2011). These findings M-bM-^@M-^Sincreased proliferation of neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPC) and apoptosis of neuronal committed progenitors - could be faithfully reproduced in an in vitro assay where NSPC isolated from Nestin-Cre; STOP FloxBmi1 embryos are cultured in floating conditions in the presence of EGF and FGF2 (neurosphere assay). We isolated NSPC from Nestin-Cre;STOP FloxBmi1 E16.5 neocortices and cultured them briefly under neurosphere inducing conditions. We then analysed their transcriptome by whole-genome Illumina platform mouse v2 and compared it to the transcriptome of NSPC isolated from non-transgenic or single transgenic littermates. The objective of this analysis was to identify genes differentially expressed upon overexpression of the PcG gene Bmi1 in neural stem/progenitor cells. 4 samples, 2 condition with 2 biological replicates per condition
