The DLX/Notch axis is necessary for spatiotemporal regulation of neural cell fate

ABSTRACT: The neuronal-glial cell fate switch in the developing ventral telencephalon is a tightly regulated process. DLX2 is well established as important in promoting interneuron differentiation and migration but the mechanisms for repression of glial fate remain elusive. Here, the DLX2 regulatory network dynamic in the developing telencephalon was fully characterised using a multiomic approach at single-cell resolution. Using coupled snRNAseq and snATACseq, and single-cell spatial transcriptomics we identified spatiotemporal-context dependent effects of Notch repression by DLX2 in maintaining progenitor populations and facilitating neuronal differentiation. Furthermore, we showed that DLX2 directly represses Notch signalling genes and glial fate promoting transcription factors, thereby repressing early adoption of oligodendrocyte fate during neurogenesis. Thus, this demonstrates that the temporal cell fate switch is mediated by DLX2 via a multilayer gene regulatory network and redefines the complex neuronal-glial cell specification mechanisms in the developing telencephalon.

A single factor elicits multilineage reprogramming of astrocytes in the adult mouse striatum

Project description:Astrocytes in the adult brain show cellular plasticity; however, whether they have the potential to generate multiple lineages remains unclear. Here, we perform in vivo screens and identify DLX2 as a transcription factor that can unleash the multipotentiality of adult resident astrocytes. Genetic lineage tracing and time-course analyses reveal that DLX2 enables astrocytes to rapidly become ASCL1+ neural progenitor cells, which give rise to neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes in the adult mouse striatum. Single-cell transcriptomics and pseudotime trajectories further confirm a neural stem cell-like behavior of reprogrammed astrocytes, transitioning from quiescence to activation, proliferation, and neurogenesis. Gene regulatory networks and mouse genetics identify and confirm key nodes mediating DLX2-dependent fate reprogramming. These include activation of endogenous DLX family transcription factors and suppression of Notch signaling. Such reprogramming-induced multipotency of resident glial cells may be exploited for neural regeneration.

Human neuron subtype programming through combinatorial patterning with scSeq readouts

Project description:iPSCs were induced into neuronal fate using either NGN2 or ACL1/DLX2 under different conditions. Single-cell RNA-sequencing was used to measure diversity of acquired neuronal fates. Single-cell multiome (RNA+ATAC) was performed on patterned iPSCs.

Time course microarray approach comparing the ectopic expression and loss-of-function of gcm to wildtype

Project description:The determination of glial fate in the developing embryonic nervous system of Drosophila is dependent on the master regulatory gene glial cells missing (gcm). gcm encodes a transcription factor and serves as a binary switch by inducing the glial fate and repressing the neuronal pathway. The ectopic expression of gcm throughout the CNS leads to excessive glia on the cost of presumptive neurons, whereas gcm loss-of-function embryos lack nearly all lateral glial cells. To date only little is known about the genetic program underlying glial differentiation. In order to identify glial specific genes downstream of gcm we performed a whole-genome microarray approach, where we compared the gcm gain-of-function situation (GOF) and, for the first time, the gcm loss-of-function (LOF) against wildtype in a time course experiment throughout embryogenesis. Intense filtering of differentially regulated genes on behalf of statistics as well as developmental means such as profile of differential regulation enabled us to identify more than 40 novel glial genes. The confirmation of these genes by in situ hybridization revealed temporal expression profiles in all or subsets of glial cells. We give a detailed description of the expression patterns of the candidate genes and adress their regulation in the glial pathway in different glial mutant backgrounds. Additionally we started to analyze mutant phenotypes of candidate genes to clarify their functional relevance for glial differentiation.

Protocadherin 8 and transcription factor Dbx1 regulate the formation of developing cerebral cortex

Project description:Normal development of the mammalian central nervous system requires correct tissue patterning, production of the appropriate cell types and establishment of functional neuronal circuits. Transcription factors (TFs) play essential roles in these processes, regulating the expression of target genes responsible for neuronal subtypes specific features. Cell adhesion molecules are key components of neuronal identities that control cell sorting, migration, neurite outgrowth/guidance and synaptogenesis. So far, the link between cell adhesion and cell fate is not known TFs are known to control neuronal adhesion but not the opposite. Here, using acute gain- and loss-of-function experiments by in utero electroporation in the developing mouse telencephalon we demonstrate that ectopic expression of Dbx1, a homeodomain TF acting as a cell fate determinant, leads to increased expression of Protocadherin 8 (Pcdh8) and cell aggregation, together with the induction of neuronal fate markers Nr4a2 (Nurr1) and Pax6. These effects were are modulated depending on the region and timing of electroporation. Furthermore, we found that Pcdh8 expression is required for Dbx1-induced fate specification. Surprisingly, Pcdh8 overexpression also proved sufficient to induce Dbx1 expression as well as a complete reorganisation of the apico-basal polarity and dorso-ventral patterning. Finally, we present evidence that these effects are mediated through regulation of the expression of Notch ligands and promotion of cell cycle exit. Altogether, our work therefore points to cell adhesion molecules as unexpectedimportant, yet unexpected important, players in the regulation of cell identity and, in particular, Pcdh8 through its bidirectional action crossregulation with the Dbx1 transcription factor.

Hdac3 Interaction with p300 Histone Acetyltransferase Regulates the Oligodendrocyte and Astrocyte Lineage Fate Switch (ChIP-Seq)

Project description:Establishment and maintenance of CNS glial cell identity ensures proper brain development and function, yet the epigenetic mechanisms underlying glial fate control remain poorly understood. Here we show that the histone deacetylase Hdac3 controls oligodendrocyte-specification gene Olig2 expression, and functions as a molecular switch for oligodendrocyte and astrocyte lineage determination. Our data suggest that Hdac3 cooperates with p300 to prime and maintain oligodendrogenic programs while inhibiting Stat3-mediated astrogliogenesis, and thereby regulate phenotypic commitment at the point of oligodendrocyte-astrocytic fate decision.
