R-loop landscapes in the developing human brain are linked to neural differentiation and cell type-specific transcription [prenatal brain DRIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: Here, we construct genome-scale maps for R-loops, three-stranded nucleic acid structures comprised of a DNA/RNA hybrid and a displaced single strand of DNA, in the proliferative and differentiated zones of the human prenatal brain. We show that R-loops are abundant in the progenitor-rich germinal matrix, with preferential formation at promoters slated for upregulated expression at later stages of differentiation, including numerous neurodevelopmental risk genes. RNase H1-mediated contraction of the genomic R-loop space in neural progenitors shifted differentiation toward the neuronal lineage and was associated with transcriptomic alterations and defective functional and structural neuronal connectivity in vivo and in vitro. Therefore, we conclude that R-loops are important for fine-tuning differentiation-sensitive gene expression programs of neural progenitor cells.

Chip-Seq of mouse Ago-1 and TRIM32-bound small RNAs from E14.5 brain.

Project description:In the mouse neocortex, neural progenitor cells generate neurons through repeated rounds of asymmetric cell division. How distinct fates are established in their daughter cells is unclear. We show here that the TRIM-NHL protein TRIM32 segregates asymmetrically during progenitor division and induces neuronal differentiation in one of the two daughter cells. TRIM32 is highly expressed in differentiating neurons. In both horizontally and vertically dividing progenitor cells, TRIM32 distribution becomes polarized in mitosis so that the protein is enriched in one of the two daughter cells. While TRIM32 overexpression induces cell cycle exit and neuronal differentiation, TRIM32 RNAi causes both daughter cells to proliferate and prevents the initiation of a neuronal differentiation program . TRIM32 ubiquitinates and degrades the transcription factor c-Myc but also binds Argonaute-1 and thereby increases the activity of specific micro-RNAs. We show that Let-7 is one of the TRIM32 targets and is required and sufficient for neuronal differentiation. Our data suggest that the asymmetric segregation of a micro RNA regulator controls self renewal in the mammalian brain. Experiment Overall Design: small RNA from total mouse brain, Ago-1 and TRIM32 IPs were cloned and sequenced using 454 GS FLX system.

Programmed genomic instability regulates neural transdifferentiation of human brain microvascular pericytes [DRIP-Seq]

Project description:The observation that human microvascular pericytes transdifferentiate into neurons provided an opportunity to explore the endogenous molecular basis for lineage reprogramming. Here, we show that abrupt destabilization of the higher-order chromatin topology that chaperones lineage memory of pericytes is driven by transient global transcriptional arrest. This leads within minutes to localized decompression of the repressed competing higher-order chromatin topology and expression of pro-neural genes. Transition to neural lineage is completed by probabilistic induction of R-loops in key myogenic loci upon re-initiation of RNA polymerase activity, leading to depletion of the myogenic transcriptome and emergence of the neurogenic transcriptome.

A small molecule accelerates neuronal differentiation in the adult rat

Project description:Adult neurogenesis occurs in mammals and provides a mechanism for continuous neural plasticity in the brain.However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms regulating hippocampal neural progenitor cells (NPCs) and whether their fate can be pharmacologically modulated to improve neural plasticity and regeneration. Here, we report the characterization of a unique small molecule (KHS101) that selectively induces a neuronal differentiation phenotype. Mechanism of action studies revealed a link of KHS101 to cell cycle exit and specific binding to the TACC3 protein, whose knockdown in NPCs recapitulates the KHS101-induced phenotype. Upon systemic administration, KHS101 distributed to the brainandresulted in a significant increase in neuronal differentiation in vivo. Our findings indicate that KHS101 accelerates neuronal differentiation by interaction with TACC3 and may provide a basis for pharmacological intervention.directed at endogenous NPCs. Compare expression profile of KHS101-treated hippocampal progenitor cells (2 concentrations) vs. DMSO (negative control), retinoic acid (positive control)

A dynamic view of the proteomic landscape during differentiation of ReNcell VM cells, an immortalized human neural progenitor line

Project description:The immortalized human ReNcell VM cell line represents a reproducible and easy-to-propagate cell culture system for studying the differentiation of neural progenitors. To better characterize the starting line and its differentiation, we assessed protein and phospho-protein levels over a two-week period during which ReNcell progenitors differentiated into neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. Five of the datasets measured protein levels or states of phosphorylation based on tandem-mass-tag (TMT) mass spectrometry. Proteomic analysis revealed reproducible changes in pathways responsible for cytoskeletal rearrangement, cell phase transitions, neuronal migration, glial differentiation, neurotrophic signalling and extracellular matrix regulation. Proteomic data revealed accelerated differentiation in cells treated with the poly-selective CDK and GSK3 inhibitor kenpaullone or the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor mevastatin, both of which have previously been reported to promote neural differentiation. These data provide in-depth information on the ReNcell progenitor state and on neural differentiation in the presence and absence of drugs, setting the stage for functional studies.

CTCF-RNA interactions orchestrate cell-specific chromatin loop organization [iCLIP2]

Project description:CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) is essential for chromatin organization, but its role in dynamically shaping chromatin loops during cellular differentiation is not fully understood. We previously demonstrated that CTCF interacts with endogenous RNAs, and deletion of its ZF1 RNA-binding region disrupts chromatin loops in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Using an ESC-to-neural progenitor cell (NPC) differentiation model, we show that the ZF1 RNA-binding region of CTCF is crucial for maintaining cell-type specific chromatin loops. Expression of CTCF-∆ZF1 leads to dysregulation of genes within these disrupted loops, particularly those involved in neuronal development and function. We identified NPC-specific, CTCF-interacting RNAs and chose Podxl and Grb10 for further study. We found that CRISPR-Cas9-mediated truncation of Podxl and Grb10 disrupts chromatin loops in cis, similar to the disruption seen in the NPC-∆ZF1 mutant. Our study underscores the importance of CTCF-ZF1 RNA interactions in preserving cell-specific genome structure and cellular identity.
