Comprehensive transcriptome analysis of the neural stem cell and brain in control and NSC-specific (P)RR deficienct mice.

ABSTRACT: (Pro)renin receptor [(P)RR] is a single-pass transmembrane protein and is widely expressed in mammalian tissues. (P)RR acts as a component of the vacuolar ATPase in lysosomes, contributing to the degradation function and autophagy. Mutations in the (P)RR-coding ATP6AP2 have been reported to cause clinical conditions such as X-linked parkinsonism with spasticity. However, our understanding of the role of (P)RR in the whole brain development remains incomplete. We generated mice with neural stem cell (NSC)-specific (P)RR deficiency (CKO). CKO mice exhibited significant brain atrophy during mid-gestation, leading to perinatal lethality. Fetal CKO brains showed lateral ventricular enlargement with malformation of neocortex and ganglionic eminence (GE) from mid-gestation. CKO brains showed massive apoptosis of neuroblasts and other cell types along with microglial activation at E15. We found that CKO NSCs showed reduced proliferation in the primary neurosphere state, while it was recovered after passage, suggesting that (P)RR is not essential for NSCs self-renewal. We also show that cells in the CKO neocortex showed normal proliferation at E15. In this study, to understand the molecular basis of ATP6AP2-mediated neural stem cell development, we performed a comprehensive analysis of gene expression changes in neural stem cells and whole brain of (P)RR CKO micec using the next-generation RNA sequencing (RNA-seq).

Molecular basis of BMP-responsiveness switching during neural development

Project description:Bone morphogenetic proteins induce neuronal and astrocytic differentiation in mid-gestational (e.g. E11+2DIV), and late-gestational (e.g. E14+5DIV) neural stem cells (NSCs), respectively. We found that Smads, downstream transcription factors of BMP signaling, target dramatically different genomic regions in the neurogenic and gliogenic NSCs. The purpose of this study is to understand histone H3K27 tri-methylation profiles around Smads-binding sites in neurogenic and gliogenic NSCs, and uncover the mechanisms underlying distinct effects of BMPs on developmentally different NSCs. We found that histone H3K27 tri-methylation around Smads binding sites quickly change as gestation proceeds, strongly associated with the alteration of accessibility of Smads to the regions.

Transcriptomic and epigenetic disruptions in excitatory neurons in Dnmt3a conditional knockout mouse

Project description:We created a mouse line in which deletion of exon 19 of Dnmt3a is driven by the Neurod6 promoter (also known as Nex-Cre line). In this conditional knockout (cKO), Dnmt3a is functionally ablated in excitatory neurons in the neocortex and hippocampus starting in mid/late gestation (~E13-15). With an affinity purification approach to isolate tagged nuclei in mice (similar to INTACT; [Deal R.B. and Henikoff S. A simple method for gene expression and chromatin profiling of individual cell types within a tissue. Dev. Cell 18,1030-1040. (2010)]), we characterized the genome-wide patterns of transcription, DNA methylation, and histone modifications in excitatory pyramidal neurons of the frontal cortex from the Dnmt3a cKO and control mice. Our data provide a detailed assessment of the molecular basis of the accompanying changes of neurophysiological and behavioral phenotypes in the cKO mice, and suggest a complex interaction between DNA methylation and Polycomb-mediated repression in the epigenetic regulation in developing brain cells.

Gene expression profiling of mouse luminal uterine epithelium with knockout of ALK3

Project description:Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are transforming growth factor Î² (TGFÎ²) family members that regulate the post-implantation and mid-gestation stages of pregnancy. In this study we discovered that signaling via activin-like kinase 3 (ALK3/BMPR1A), a BMP type 1 receptor, is necessary for blastocyst attachment. To understand the role of ALK3 in the luminal uterine epithelium, we obtained the gene expression profiles of isolated luminal uterine epithelium from 3.5dpc control and Alk3 cKO mice.

Conditional depletion of intellectual disability and Parkinsonism candidate gene ATP6AP2 in fly and mouse induces cognitive impairment and neurodegeneration

Project description:ATP6AP2 is an essential accessory component of the vacuolar H+ ATPase (V-ATPase) and has been associated with intellectual disabilities (ID) and Parkinsonism. ATP6AP2 has been implicated in several signaling pathways, but little is known about its role in the nervous system. To decipher its function in behaviour and cognition, we generated and characterized conditional ATP6AP2 Drosophila and mouse models in the nervous system. In Drosophila, knockdown of ATP6AP2 induced defective phototaxis and vacuolisation of photoreceptor neurons and pigment cells when deleted in eyes and alteration of short- and long-term memory when deleted in the mushroom body. In mouse, conditional Atp6ap2 deletion in glutamatergic neurons (Atp6ap2Camk2aCre/0 mice) caused increased spontaneous locomotor activity and altered memory for fear. Both Drosophila ATP6AP2 knockdown and Atp6ap2Camk2aCre/0 mice presented with presynaptic transmission defect, abnormal number and morphology of synapses, and alteration of axonal transport in fly. In addition, Atp6ap2Camk2aCre/0 mice showed autophagy defect leading to axonal and neuronal degeneration in the cortex and the hippocampus. Surprisingly, myelinisation of axons was affected in our mutant mice. In accordance with the identified phenotypes across species, genome-wide transcriptome profiling of Atp6ap2Camk2aCre/0 mouse hippocampi revealed dysregulated genes involved in myelination, action potential, membrane bound vesicles and adult behaviour. In summary, disruption of ATP6AP2 in mouse and fly leads to cognitive impairment and neurodegeneration, mimicking aspects of the neuropathology associated with ATP6AP2 mutations in humans. Our results identify ATP6AP2 as an essential gene for the nervous system. 4 samples, 2 wt and 2 Atp6ap2Camk2aCre/0

Early Developmental Origins of Cortical Disorders Modeled in Human Neural Stem Cells [bulk RNA-seq]

Project description:The implications of the early phases of human telencephalic development, involving neural stem cells (NSCs), in the etiology of cortical disorders remain elusive. Here, we explored the expression dynamics of cortical and neuropsychiatric disorder-associated genes in datasets generated from human NSCs across telencephalic fate transitions in vitro and in vivo. We identified risk genes expressed in brain organizers and sequential gene regulatory networks across corticogenesis revealing disease-specific critical phases, when NSCs are more vulnerable to gene dysfunctions, and converging signaling across multiple diseases. Moreover, we simulated the impact of risk transcription factor (TF) depletions on different neural cell types spanning the developing human neocortex and observed a spatiotemporal-dependent effect for each perturbation. Finally, single-cell transcriptomics of newly generated autism-affected patient-derived NSCs in vitro revealed recurrent alterations of TFs orchestrating brain patterning and NSC lineage commitment. This work opens new perspectives to explore human brain dysfunctions at the early phases of development.

Multi-omics analyses demonstrate a critical role for EHMT1 methyltransferase in transcriptionalrepression during oogenesis

Project description:EHMT1 (also known as GLP) is a multifunctional protein, best known for its role as an H3K9me1 and H3K9me2 methyltransferase through its reportedly obligatory dimerization with EHMT2 (also known as G9A). Here, we investigated the role of EHMT1 in the oocyte in comparison to EHMT2 using oocyte-specific conditional knockout mouse models (Ehmt2 cKO, Ehmt1cKO, Ehmt1/2 cDKO), with ablation from the early phase of oocyte growth. Loss of EHMT1 in Ehmt1 cKO and Ehmt1/2 cDKO oocytes recapitulated meiotic defects observed in the Ehmt2 cKO; however, there was a significant impairment in oocyte maturation and developmental competence in Ehmt1 cKO and Ehmt1/2 cDKO oocytes beyond that observed in the Ehmt2cKO. Consequently, loss of EHMT1 in oogenesis results, upon fertilization, in mid-gestation embryonic lethality. To identify H3K9 methylation and other meaningful biological changes in each mutant to explore the molecular functions of EHMT1 and EHMT2, we performed immunofluorescence imaging, multi-omics sequencing, and mass spectrometry (MS)–based proteome analyses in cKO oocytes. Although H3K9me1 was depleted only upon loss of EHMT1, H3K9me2 was decreased, and H3K9me2-enriched domains were eliminated equally upon loss of EHMT1 or EHMT2. Furthermore, there were more significant changes in the transcriptome, DNA methylome, and proteome in Ehmt1/2 cDKO than Ehmt2 cKO oocytes, withtranscriptional derepression leading to increased protein abundance and local changes in genic DNA methylation in Ehmt1/2 cDKO oocytes. Together, our findings suggest that EHMT1 contributes to local transcriptional repression in the oocyte, partially independent of EHMT2, and is critical for oogenesis and oocyte developmental competence

Canonical and non-canonical PRC1 differentially contribute to the regulation of neural stem cell fate

Project description:Neocortex development is characterized by sequential phases of neural progenitor cell (NPC) expansion, neurogenesis and gliogenesis. Polycomb-mediated epigenetic mechanisms are known to play important roles in regulating the lineage potential of NPCs during development. The composition of Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1) is highly diverse in mammals and was hypothesized to contribute to context-specific regulation of cell fate. Here, we have performed side-by-side comparison of the role of canonical PRC1.2/1.4 and non-canonical PRC1.3/1.5, all of which are expressed in the developing neocortex, in NSC proliferation and differentiation. We found that the deletion of Pcgf2/4 in NSCs led to a strong reduction in proliferation and to altered lineage fate, both during the neurogenic and gliogenic phase, whereas Pcgf3/5 played a minor role. Mechanistically, genes encoding stem cell and neurogenic factors were bound by PRC1 and differentially expressed upon Pcgf2/4 deletion. Thus, rather than different PRC1 sub-complexes contributing to different phases of neural development, we found that canonical PRC1 played a more significant role in NSC regulation during proliferative, neurogenic and gliogenic phases compared to non-canonical PRC1. Here, we analyzed gene expression changes upon ablation of Pcgf2/4 in mouse NSCs after four days of neural differentiation.
