Expression data from region-specific postnatal astrocytes

ABSTRACT: Astroglial cells in the adult brain constitute a heterogeneous population endowed with region-specific properties. Recently, they have acquired greater relevance as active components of the adult neural stem cell (aNSC) niches. Astrocytes located in the vicinity of aNSC reservoirs are thought to regulate aNSC behaviour. We have compared the function of glial cells isolated from the postnatal and adult subventricular zone and hippocampus (two stem cell niches, where aNSCs self-renew and give rise to immature neurons), from the olfactory bulb (a neurogenic region where the immature neurons cease to proliferate and terminally differentiate) and from a non-stem and non-neurogenic area such as the ventral mesencephalon. Co-culture experiments demonstrate that subventricular zone glial cells secrete soluble signals that promote NSC self-renewing divisions. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression of astroglial cells isolated from four different brain regions (olfactory bulb, ventral mesencephalon, hippocampus and subventricular zone) and identified up-regulated genes coding for secreted proteins in astrocytes from the subventricular zone.

Primary astrocytes were cultured from four CD-1 mouse brain regions and cells were employed for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Primary tissue for the astrocyte cultures was dissected from four postnatal day 3 littermate pups. The tissue from the three pups was pooled in order to reduce individual differences of expression profiles.

Integration of genome-wide approaches identifies lncRNAs of adult neural stem cells and their progeny in vivo [RNA-seq]

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been described in cell lines and various whole tissues, but lncRNA analysis of development in vivo is limited. Here, we comprehensively analyze lncRNA expression for the adult mouse subventricular zone neural stem cell lineage. We utilize complementary genome-wide techniques including RNA-seq, RNA CaptureSeq, and ChIP-seq to associate specific lncRNAs with neural cell types, developmental processes, and human disease states. By integrating data from chromatin state maps, custom microarrays, and FACS purification of the subventricular zone lineage, we stringently identify lncRNAs with potential roles in adult neurogenesis. shRNA-mediated knockdown of two such lncRNAs, Six3os and Dlx1as, indicate roles for lncRNAs in the glial-neuronal lineage specification of multipotent adult stem cells. Our data and workflow thus provide a uniquely coherent in vivo lncRNA analysis and form the foundation of a user-friendly online resource for the study of lncRNAs in development and disease. RNA-seq (both paired end and single) from the adult neurogenic niches- subventricular zone (SVZ), olfactory bulb (OB), dentate gyrus (DG) and control non-neurogenic tissue, striatum (STR). Reads were used to assemble a lncRNA catalogue and determine expression values for both protein-coding and noncoding genes

Comprehensive proteome of the adult neural stem cell niche identifies key regulators of adult neurogenesis

Project description:Neural stem cells (NSCs) generating new neurons are restricted to few niches in the adult mammalian brain, while the remainder rather promotes gliogenesis. Here we take advantage of the spatial separation of an NSC niche (the subependymal zone) and the region to where the newly generated neurons migrate and integrate (the olfactory bulb). Using state-of-the-art mass spectrometry we present a comprehensive proteomic characterization of these niches compared to a region of the normal brain parenchyma (cerebral cortex) that is not contusive to neurogenesis and new neuron integration. We find unique compositions of regulatory ECM components in the neurogenic niche, with quiescent NSCs as a main source of their local ECM, including the multi-functional enzyme transglutaminase 2 that we identify as crucial for neurogenesis. Atomic force microscopy further corroborates indications from the proteome that neurogenic niches are significantly stiffer than the non-neurogenic parenchyma, highlighting the unique properties of these special niches.

Olig2 Defines a Unique Subset of Neural Stem Cells That Produce Specific Olfactory Bulb Interneuron Subtypes in the Subventricular Zone of Postnatal and Adult Mice

Project description:Distinct neural stem cells reside in different regions of the subventricular zone and generate multiple olfactory bulb interneuron subtypes in the adult mouse brain. This study shows that the basic helix-loop-helix type transcription factor Olig2 defines a ventrally enriched subset of NSCs in the early postnatal and adult SVZ and plays an important role in the subtype specification of olfactory bulb interneurons produced by adult NSCs.

Differential vulnerability of adult neurogenic niches to dosage of the Neurodevelopmental-disorder linked gene FoxG1

Project description:We report that the two adult neurogenic niches of the mammalian brain – the dentate gyrus of the hippocampal formation and the subependymal zone of the lateral ventricles - displayed differential vulnerability to increased FoxG1 dosage: high FoxG1 levels severely compromised survival and glutamatergic dentate granule neuron fate acquisition in the hippocampal neurogenic niche, but left neurogenesis of GABAergic neurons in the subependymal zone / olfactory bulb system unaffected. Comparative transcriptomic analyses revealed a significantly higher expression of the apoptosis-linked nuclear receptor Nr4a1 in FoxG1-overexpressing hippocampal neural precursors. Our results reveal differential vulnerability of neuronal subtypes to increased FoxG1 dosage and suggest that activity of a FoxG1/Nr4a1 axis contributes to such subtype-specific response.

BRG1 ChIP-Seq on E12.5 WT and LncBAR-KO (KO) neurospheres (passage 3)

Project description:Neocortical projection neurons of mammalian brains are largely direct daughters of intermediate progenitors (IP), which are progenies of radial glial cells (RG). The maintenance of the RG pool, production and expansion of IPs are essential for neocortical formation during development, as well as neocortical expansion during evolution. Here we characterized an epigenetic circuit that controls precise neurogenic programming of the neocortex. The circuit comprises a long non-coding RNA – LncBAR and the SWI/SNF (BAF) chromatin-remodeling complex, which transcriptionally maintains the expression of Zbtb20. LncBAR knockout neocortex contains fewer upper-layer projection neurons. Intriguingly, loss of LncBAR promotes IP production of RGCs, but hampers neurogenic division and lengthens the cell-cycle durations of IPs during mid-later cortical neurogenesis. Moreover, in LncBAR knockout mice, depletion of the neural progenitor pool at embryonic stage causes fewer adult neural stem cells at the subventricular zone, leading to compromised adult neurogenesis to replenish the olfactory bulb. LncBAR binds to BRG1, the core enzymatic component of the SWI/SNF (BAF) chromatin-remodeling complex. LncBAR depletion enhances association of BRG1 with and the genomic locus of, and suppresses the expression of Zbtb20, a transcription factor gene known to regulate both embryonic and adult neurogenesis. ZBTB20 re-expression in LncBAR-knockout neural precursors reversed compromised neurogenic divisions of IPCs. Together, we revealed a previously unidentified epigenetic machinery to control neurogenesis of neural precursors.

Activation of quiescent neurogenic niches of aging brain

Project description:Proposals for induced glia-to-neuron conversion have raised the potential for generating new neurons to replace those lost due to injury, aging or neurodegenerative diseases. Here, single-cell spatial transcriptomics [Multiplexed Error Robust Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (MERFISH)] is used to construct a spatial cell atlas of the subventricular and dentate gyrus neurogenic niches of young and aged adult murine brain. RNAs that encode the RNA binding protein Polypyrimidine Tract-Binding Protein (PTBP1) in the aged murine brain are determined to be highest in glia that line previously active neurogenic niches. A glial cell population with ependymal character within an initially quiescent subventricular neurogenic niche in the aged murine brain is identified that upon transient suppression of PTBP1 reenters the cell cycle, replicates DNA, and converts into neurons through a canonical adult neurogenesis pathway. Glia-derived neurons migrate from this niche, with some neurons transiting to the striatum and acquiring a transcriptome characteristic of GABAergic inhibitory neurons. Similar PTBP1 expressing quiescent glia are identified in the corresponding neurogenic niche of aged human brain. Thus, transient reduction of PTBP1 holds potential for inducing the generation of new neurons in quiescent neurogenic niches of the aged nervous system, thereby offering promising therapeutic applications.

Identification of a core cross-regulatory neurogenic network regulated by the transcription factor Pax6 interacting with Brg1-containing SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex

Project description:The molecular mechanisms of neurogenic fate determination are of particular importance in light of the need to regenerate neurons. However the molecular logic of neurogenic fate determination is still ill understood, even though some key transcription factors have been implicated. Here we describe how one of these, the transcription factor Pax6, regulates adult neurogenesis by initiating a cross-regulatory network of 3 transcription factors executing neuronal fate and regulating genes required for neuronal differentiation. This network is initiated and driven to sufficiently high expression levels by the transcription factor Pax6 in close interaction with Brg1-containing SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling factors. Genetic deletion of either Pax6 or Brg1, the ATPase unit of the SWI/SNF complex, in neural stem cells of the adult mouse subependymal zone results in a fate conversion to distinct glial subtypes most pronounced when neuroblasts leave the neurogenic niche. Consistent with the phenocopy in vivo virtually all genes down-regulated by Brg1 deletion have Pax6-binding motifs. Amongst the few down-stream transcription factors are Sox11, Nfib and Brn4 that crossregulate each other and rescue neurogenesis also in direct reprogramming in the absence of Brg1 (or Pax6). Thus the function of Pax6-SWI/SNF is necessary and sufficient for neuronal fate maintenance and initiates a cross-regulatory effector network required for neuronal fate execution and maintenance to counteract glial differentiation in the adult brain. This identifies a novel role highly specific role of a chromatin-remodelling complex in stabilizing fate decisions in normal and forced neurogenesis. We performed gene expression microarray analysis on tissue derived from the SEZ or from the core region of the olfactory bulb from Brg1 cKO and control mice

PACAP induces adult neural progenitor surface attachment by increasing the production of extracellular matrix components

Project description:New neurons are born throughout the life of mammals in germinal zones of the brain known as neurogenic niches: the subventricular zone of the lateral ventricles and the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. These niches contain a subpopulation of cells known as adult neural progenitors (aNPCs), which self-renew and give rise to new neurons and glia. aNPCs are regulated by many factors present in the niche, including the extracellular matrix (ECM). We show that the neuropeptide PACAP (pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide) affects subventricular zone-derived aNPCs by increasing their surface adhesion. Gene array and reconstitution assays indicate that this effect can be attributed to the regulation of ECM components and ECM-modifying enzymes in aNPCs by PACAP. Our work suggests that PACAP regulates a bidirectional interaction between the aNPCs and their niche: PACAP modifies ECM production and remodeling, in turn the ECM regulates progenitor cell adherence. We speculate that PACAP may in this manner help restrict adult neural progenitors to the stem cell niche in vivo, with potential significance for aNPC function in physiological and pathological states.
