Hierarchical regulation of cerebellar neurogenesis by Sin3A-mediated gene repression (ChIP-seq)

ABSTRACT: Cerebellar granule cells (GCs) are critical for motor and cognitive functions. Lineage tracing studies have identified a hierarchical developmental progression of GC neurogenesis, transitioning from Sox2+ stem-like quiescent cells to Atoh1+ rapidly proliferating granule cell precursors (GCPs), and ultimately to NeuN+ mature GCs. However, the molecular mechanisms governing these transitions remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that Sin3A, a core component of the histone deacetylase (Hdac) complex, plays a sequentially essential role in driving GC lineage progression across distinct precursor stages. In Sox2+ cells, Sin3A facilitates their transition to GCPs by repressing Sox2 expression. In GCPs, Sin3A suppresses Atoh1 transcriptional activity by recruiting Neurod1 as a co-repressor, thereby promoting GCP differentiation. Additionally, Sin3A ensures the survival and specification of GCPs by repressing non-lineage-specific gene expression. Our findings highlight the central role of the Sin3A complex in orchestrating distinct stages of cerebellar GC lineage development.

KMT2D is essential for cerebellar granule cell differentiation

Project description:The cerebellum contains 62%‒73% of the total number of neurons in the mouse brain. Granule cells (GCs) constitute the vast majority of cerebellar neurons. Single cell RNA-seq analyses showed that Atoh1-Cre-mediated knockout (KO) of the Kmt2d gene encoding the lysine methyltransferase KMT2D (MLL4 and a COMPASS-like enzyme) in the cerebellar GC lineage in mice inhibited cerebellar GC differentiation and downregulated neuron differentiation expression programs. In addition, Kmt2d KO inhibited the transition of GC progenitors to GCs while having a cell-non-autonomous impact on other cerebellar cells.

Notch signaling between cerebellar granule cell progenitors

Project description:During cerebellar development, maternal granule cell progenitors (GCPs) divide to produce not only postmitotic granule cells (GCs) but also sister GCPs. However, molecular machinery to proportionally produce distinct sister cell types from seemingly uniform GCPs is still elusive. Here we report Notch signaling makes a difference among GCPs, leading to their proportional differentiation.

KMT2D controls cerebellar granule cell differentiation by temporally activating neuronal transcriptional factor genes [RNA-seq]

Project description:Spatiotemporal gene expression is the fundamental feature for cellular differentiation, including neurogenesis. The epigenetic mechanism underlying spatiotemporal gene regulation during in vivo cellular differentiation remains largely unknown. The cerebellum contains ~80% of the total number of neurons in the human brain. Granule cells (GCs) constitute the vast majority of cerebellar neurons, and GC genesis is spatiotemporally regulated. Here, we show that Atoh1-Cre-mediated knockout (ACKO) of the Kmt2d gene encoding the lysine methyltransferase KMT2D (MLL4 and a COMPASS-like enzyme) in the cerebellar GC lineage in mice inhibits cerebellar GC differentiation while increasing cerebellar cell proliferation. Kmt2d ACKO impaired cerebellum-associated behaviors and caused facial peculiarity, microcephaly, and smaller body size (Kabuki syndrome-like characteristics) in mice. KMT2D temporally activates neuronal differentiation programs in cerebellar GC lineage. KMT2D-mediated activation of the key neuronal transcription factor genes En2, Pax6, and Myt1l is critical for GC differentiation. KMT2D positively programs super-enhancers/enhancers associated with these genes. Single cell RNA-seq analysis showed that Kmt2d ACKO inhibited the transition of GC progenitor to GCs while having a cell-non-autonomous impact on other cerebellar cells. These findings provide a unique epigenetic mechanism in which KMT2D temporally orchestrates gene expression required for cerebellar GC differentiation by programming neuronal enhancers.

TRAP seq of the human pluripotent stem cell derived ATOH1 lineage

Project description:Brain development is regulated by conserved transcriptional programs across species, but little is known about divergent mechanisms that create species-specific characteristics. Among brain regions, the cerebellum is now recognized to contribute to human cognitive evolution having a broad range of non-motor cognitive functions in addition to motor control. Emerging studies highlight the complexity of human cerebellar histogenesis, compared with non-human primates and rodents, making it important to develop methods to generate human cerebellar neurons that closely resemble those in the developing human cerebellum. Here we report a rapid and simple protocol for the directed derivation of the human ATOH1 lineage, the precursor of all excitatory cerebellar neurons, from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC), and strategies to decrease culture variability; a common limitation in hPSC studies. Upon transplantation into juvenile mice, early postmitotic hPSC-derived cerebellar granule cells migrated along glial fibers and integrated into the cerebellar cortex. By Translational Ribosome Affinity Purification (TRAP)-seq, the ATOH1 lineage most closely resembled human cerebellar tissue in the second trimester. Unexpectedly, TRAP-seq identified a heterochronic shift in the expression of RBFOX3 (NeuN) and NEUROD1, which are classically associated with differentiated neurons, within granule cell progenitors (GCPs) in the human external granule layer. This molecular divergence may provide the mechanism by which the GCP pool persists into year two post birth in humans, but only lasts for two weeks in mice. Our approach provides a scalable in vitro model of the human ATOH1 lineage that yields cerebellar granule cells within 48 days as well as a strategy for identifying uniquely human cellular and molecular characteristics.

Role of Tet1 and Tet3 genes and Chromatin Remodeling in Cerebellar Circuit Formation [gene expression]

Project description:Transcriptome analysis of mRNA samples purified from developing cerebellar granule cells and ES cell-derived granule cells using translating ribosome affinity purification (TRAP) method. Although mechanisms underlying early steps in cerebellar development are known, evidence is lacking on genetic and epigenetic changes during the establishment of the synaptic circuitry. Using metagene analysis, we report pivotal changes in multiple reactomes of epigenetic pathway genes in cerebellar granule cells (GCs) during circuit formation. During this stage, Tet genes are up-regulated and vitamin C activation of Tet enzymes increases the levels of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) at exon start sites of up-regulated genes, notably axon guidance genes and ion channel genes. Knockdown of Tet1 and Tet3 by RNA interference in ex vivo cerebellar slice cultures inhibits dendritic arborization of developing GCs, a critical step in circuit formation. These findings demonstrate a role for Tet genes and chromatin remodeling genes in the formation of cerebellar circuitry. We analyzed gene expression of cerebellar granule cells and ES cell-derived granule cells using the Affymetrix mouse gene 1.0 ST platform. Array data was processed by metagene analysis which was developed by the Broad Institute.

DNA microarray analysis using murine cerebellum at P6

Project description:We analysed genes upregulated or down regulated by double deletion of Rac1 and Rac3 (Rac1/Rac3-DKO) in cerebellar granule neurons compared with control, using the external granule layer (EGL) dissected from Rac1/Rac3-DKO cerebellum at P6. Rac1-KO mouse is an inducible knockout, in which Rac1 is specifically deleted in cerebellar granule neurons under control of Atoh1 (also called Math1) promoter. In contrast, Rac3-KO mouse is a conventional/simple KO, in which Rac3 is deleted in all cells in the body. Total RNA from the medial portion of the EGL of Rac1/Rac3-DKO and control cerebella at P6 was extracted using TRIzol (Invitrogen). The quality and quantity of RNA were determined using the Agilent 2100 BioAnalyzer.
