Project description:These tissue were harvested to complement and extend the studies that generated GSE23093. They served 3 purposes; 1) identify genes important to choroid plexus function and compare them with those important for meninges and associated vasculature (MAV) function, 2) determine genes in the choroid plexus and sensitivity hyperthermia and amphetamine toxicity, 3) identify the important gene expression changes related to the immune system in MAV, choroid plexus and trunk' blood Gene mRNA expression patterns in choroid plexus and trunk blood were determined under control conditions as well as after (3 hr and 1day) exposure to either environmentally-induced hyperthermia or neurotoxic doses of amphetamine. This data was analyzed and compared to data from meninges and associated vasculature previously deposited in GEO. The data gathered under control conditions was used to further understand how the choroid plexus and meninges and associated vasculature might function to generate and regulate the cerebrospinal fluid. The expression patterns in the choroid plexus after environmentally-induced hyperthermia or neurotoxic doses of amphetamine was determine its damage and protective responses. The expression patterns after environmentally-induced hyperthermia or neurotoxic doses of amphetamine were compared among choroid plexus, meninges and associated vasculature and blood were analyzed to determine immune system responses.

Project description:Central nervous system (CNS) macrophages comprise parenchymal microglia and border-associated macrophages (BAMs) residing in the meninges, the choroid plexus and the perivascular spaces. With the exception of choroid plexus macrophages, most CNS macrophages emerge during primitive hematopoiesis in the extra-embryonic yolk sac. What remains unknown however, is whether microglia and BAMs share a developmental program or arise from separate predefined lineages. Here, we identified two phenotypically, transcriptionally and locally distinct brain macrophage populations throughout development, giving rise to microglia and BAMs. Two independent macrophage populations were already present in the yolk sac prior to their seeding of the brain. Using fate-mapping system, we demonstrate that in contrast to microglia, the pool of embryonic BAMs in the choroid plexus and the meninges was gradually replaced by precursors emerging later in embryogenesis. The development of microglia was dependent on TGF-β whereas the genesis and maturation of BAMs occurred independently of this cytokine. Collectively, our data show that developing parenchymal and non-parenchymal brain macrophages are separate entities in terms of ontogeny, gene expression signatures and requirement for TGF-β.

Project description:Gene expression profiles generated from human tumor cells laser-microdissected from surgical samples of seven choroid plexus papillomas (Grade I WHO) as eight samples of epithelial cells lasermicrodissected from normal choroid plexus obtained at autopsy. Choroid plexus tumors are rare pediatric brain tumors derrived from the choroid plexus epithelium. Gene expression profiles of lasermicrodissected tumor cells from 7 individual choroid plexus tumor samples obtained at surgery were compared to gene expression profiles from non-neoplastic choroid plexus epithelial cells lasermicrodissected from normal non-neoplastic choroid plexus obtained at autopsy (Am J Surg Pathol. 2006 Jan;30(1):66-74.) in order to identfy genes differentially expressed in choroid plexus tumor cells.

Project description:While the roles of parenchymal microglia in brain homeostasis and disease are fairly clear, other brain-resident myeloid cells remain less understood. By dissecting border regions and combining single-cell RNA sequencing with high-dimensional cytometry, bulk RNA-sequencing, fate-mapping and microscopy, we reveal the diversity of non-parenchymal brain macrophages. Border-associated macrophages (BAMs) residing in the dura mater, subdural meninges and choroid plexus consisted of distinct subsets with tissue-specific transcriptional signatures, and their cellular composition changed during postnatal development. BAMs exhibited a mixed ontogeny and subsets displayed distinct self-renewal capacities upon depletion and repopulation. Single-cell and fate-mapping analysis both suggested there is a unique microglial subset residing on the apical surface of the choroid plexus epithelium. Finally, gene network analysis and conditional deletion revealed IRF8 as a master regulator that drives the maturation and diversity of brain macrophages. Our results provide a framework for understanding host-macrophage interactions in the healthy and diseased brain.

Project description:The choroid plexus produces cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by transport of electrolytes and water from the vasculature to the brain ventricles. The choroid plexus plays additional roles in brain development and homeostasis by secreting neurotrophic molecules, and by serving as a CSF-blood barrier and immune interface. Prior studies have identified transporters on the epithelial cells that transport water and ions into the ventricles and tight junctions involved in the CSF-blood barrier. Yet, how the choroid plexus epithelial cells maintain the brain ventricle system and control brain physiology remain unresolved. To provide novel insights into the physiological roles of the choroid plexus, we use juvenile and adult zebrafish as model systems. Upon histological and transcriptomic analyses, we first identified that the zebrafish choroid plexus is highly conserved with the mammalian choroid plexus and that it expresses all transporters necessary for CSF secretion. Using novel genetic lines, we also identified that the choroid plexus secretes proteins into the CSF. Next, we generated a transgenic line allowing us to ablate specifically the epithelial cells in the choroid plexus. Using the ablation system, we identified a reduction of the ventricular sizes, but no alterations of the CSF-blood barrier. Altogether, our findings identified that the zebrafish choroid plexus is evolutionarily conserved and critical for maintaining the size and homeostasis of the brain ventricles.

Project description:Tumor-associated hydrocephalus (TAH) is a common and lethal complication of brain metastases. Although other factors beyond mechanical obstructions have been suggested, the exact mechanisms are unknown. Using single-nucleus RNA-sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, we find that a distinct population of mast cells locate in the choroid plexus and dramatically increase during TAH. Genetic fate-tracing and intracranial mast cell-specific tryptase knockout showed that choroid plexus mast cells (CPMCs) disrupt cilia of choroid plexus epithelia via the tryptase-PAR2-FoxJ1 pathway and consequently increase cerebrospinal fluid production. Mast cells are also found in the human choroid plexus. Levels of tryptase in cerebrospinal fluid are closely associated with clinical severity of TAH. BMS-262084, an inhibitor of tryptase, can cross blood-brain-barrier, inhibits TAH in vivo and alleviates mast cell-induced damage of epithelial cilia in a human pluripotent stem cell-derived choroid plexus organoid model. Collectively, we uncover the function of CPMCs and provide an attractive therapy for TAH.
