Project description:Neural stem cells can migrate towards tumors of both neural and non-neural origins, which is crucial for the success in treating disseminated tumors. Although the understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying NSC tumor tropism is limited, it has been noted that several cytokines, growth factors and receptors direct the migration in vitro. A proper understanding of the basic molecular mechanisms of NSC migration towards tumors, especially identification of key cellular regulators of the migration, will have important implications in improving the effectiveness of engineering and employing NSCs as tumor therapy agents. We compared gene expression profiles between migratory and non-migratory hiPSC-NSCs towards cancer cells using cDNA microarray profiling. We collected human iPSCs derived NSCs migrating and not migrating towards human U87 glioma cells in an in vitro migration system for total RNA extraction and hybridization to Affymetrix microarrays

Project description:Primitive neural stem cells (NSCs) could be derived from pluripotent mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells, and then differentiate into definitive-type neural stem cells which resemble NSCs obtained from the central nervous system. Hence, primitive NSCs define an early stage of neural induction and provide a model to understand the mechanism that controls initial neural commitment. In this study, we performed microarray assay to analyze the global transcriptional profiles in mouse ES cell-derived primitive and definitive NSCs and to depict the molecular changes during the multi-staged neural differentiation process. Primitive NSCs derived directly from ESCs in Lif (p-NSC_L), primitive NSCs that were sub-cultured in the presence of Lif and FGF (p-NSC_LF), as well as definitive NSCs derived from primitive NSCs in medium containing FGF and EGF, were collected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Mouse ESCs and NSCs obtained from mouse embryonic brain (E11.5) were included for controls. For each cell type, we collected two biological replicate samples for microarray analysis.

Project description:The NSC differentiation of six validated iPSC lines were induced using commercially available PSC neural induction medium and following manufacturer method with minor modifications (Gibco). An extensive characterization of generated NSCs on day 14 (at passage P1) was performed using immunocytochemistry (ICC) analysis of the NSC specific markers and by genome wide mRNA sequencing. The iPSC differentiated NSCs expressed NSC specific markers Nestin, PAX6, SOX1 and SOX2 across all six samples. The average correlation coefficient at 95% CI between 6 NSC samples, calculated based on all expressed mRNAs, was 0.97 ± 0.008 suggesting a uniform differentiation of generated NSC lines. The generated NSC showed high expression of neuroepithelial genes/transcription factors (NES, SOX2, SOX1, PAX6, NOTCH1, MSI1,and CHD2) and genes/transcription factors of dorsal tube neuroepithelium (PAX3, GDF7, SOX9 and SNAI2) but lacked the expression of ventral tube neuroepithelial markers (NKX2-2, FOXA2 and SHH) suggesting a dorsal tube neuroepithelial transcriptomic and functional profile of the generated NSCs. A differential gene expression analysis of iPSC’s and NSC’s expressed transcription identified 4,033 mRNAs that were significantly differentially expressed (DE) between iPSCs and differentiated NSCs. The 2,006 DE mRNA were significantly upregulated in differentiated NSCs and were highly enriched in developmental functional categories such as embryonic development (572 mRNAs; FDR adjusted p-value range: 1.92x10-53 – 3.26x10-9), organism development (749 mRNAs; FDR adjusted p-value range: 1.92x10-53 – 4.30x10-9), nervous system development and function (629 mRNAs; FDR adjusted p-value range: 3.23x10-48 – 4.15x10-9), tissue development (655 mRNAs; FDR adjusted p-value range: 3.63x10-40 – 4.32x10-9) and organ development (406 mRNAs; FDR adjusted p-value range: 8.74x10-40 – 2.37x10-9).

Project description:BACKGROUND: The polycomb group protein Ezh2 is an epigenetic repressor of transcription originally found to prevent untimely differentiation of pluripotent embryonic stem cells. We previously demonstrated that Ezh2 is also expressed in multipotent neural stem cells (NSCs). We showed that Ezh2 expression is downregulated during NSC differentiation into astrocytes or neurons. However, high levels of Ezh2 remained present in differentiating oligodendrocytes until myelinating. This study aimed to elucidate the target genes of Ezh2 in NSCs and in premyelinating oligodendrocytes (pOLs). METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We performed chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing to detect the target genes of Ezh2 in NSCs and pOLs. We found 1532 target genes of Ezh2 in NSCs. During NSC differentiation, the occupancy of these genes by Ezh2 was alleviated. However, when the NSCs differentiated into oligodendrocytes, 393 of these genes remained targets of Ezh2. Analysis of the target genes indicated that the repressive activity of Ezh2 in NSCs concerns genes involved in stem cell maintenance, in cell cycle control and in preventing neural differentiation. Among the genes in pOLs that were still repressed by Ezh2 were most prominently those associated with neuronal and astrocytic committed cell lineages. Suppression of Ezh2 activity in NSCs caused loss of stem cell characteristics, blocked their proliferation and ultimately induced apoptosis. Suppression of Ezh2 activity in pOLs resulted in derangement of the oligodendrocytic phenotype, due to re-expression of neuronal and astrocytic genes, and ultimately in apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: Our data indicate that the epigenetic repressor Ezh2 in NSCs is crucial for proliferative activity and maintenance of neural stemness. During differentiation towards oligodendrocytes, Ezh2 repression continues particularly to suppress other neural fate choices. Ezh2 is completely downregulated during differentiation towards neurons and astrocytes allowing transcription of these differentiation programs. The specific fate choice towards astrocytes or neurons is apparently controlled by epigenetic regulators other than Ezh2. Examination of Ezh2 target sites in 2 different primary cells types

Project description:Rat NSCs were isolated from developing whole brian of the SD rat embryos at day 13.5. In the NSC/GFP-EMSC co-culture system, the NSCs showed significantly enhanced neuronal differentiation rather than astrocytic commitment, in comparison with the mono-cultured NSCs. In order to reveal the gene expression profiles of NSCs under these two diffferent culture conditions, we used microassrays to examine the global programme of gene expression of NSCs under these two diffferent culture conditions.

Project description:Pediatric neural tumors are initiated during embryonic/fetal stages and rapidly become malignant despite carrying few genetic alterations. However, the molecular basis of this early malignant susceptibility remains unknown. During Drosophila development, malignant neural tumors can arise from single gene inactivation triggering dedifferentiation towards a neural stem cell (NSC)-like state. Here, we find that these tumors originate from a sub-population of early-born neural progeny that transiently co-express the mRNA-binding proteins Lin-28 and Imp/IGF2BP, and the transcription factor Chinmo. These three genes compose an early growth module that is co-opted in a subset of dedifferentiated cells to propagate unlimited proliferation. In late NSCs, Chinmo, Imp and Lin-28 are silenced by temporal transcription factors for timely termination of neurogenesis. Consequently, late-born progeny do not express the module and become refractory to malignant transformation. Thus, this study identifies the NSC-intrinsic developmental program that predisposes neural progeny to malignant transformation according to their birth order.

Project description:Huntington's disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expanded stretch of CAG trinucleotide repeats that results in neuronal dysfunction and death. We made induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from HD patients and controls. Though no obvious effects of the CAG expansion on reprogramming or subsequent neural stem cell (NSC) production were seen, HD-NSCs showed CAG expansion-associated gene expression patterns and, upon differentiation, changes in electrophysiology, metabolism, cell adhesion, and ultimately an increased risk of cell death for both medium and longer CAG repeat expansions, with some deficits greater in cells from longer repeat HD NSCs. The HD180 lines were more vulnerable than control lines to cellular stressors and BDNF withdrawal using a range of assays across consortium laboratories. This HD iPSC collection represents a unique and well-characterized resource to elucidate disease mechanisms in HD and provides a novel human stem cell platform for screening new candidate therapeutics. 8 NSC samples (5 HD, 3 control), of which 3 were run as replicates (2HD, 1 control), and 5 striatal-like samples (3 HD, 2 control) Contributor: The HD iPS consortium
