Fezf2 overexpression in murine cortical progenitors in vivo

ABSTRACT: Corticospinal motor neurons (CSMN) are one specialized class of cortical excitatory neurons, which connect layer Vb of the cortex to the spinal cord. a master transcription factor –Forebrain expressed zinc finger 2 (Fezf2) – has been identified that is necessary for the fate specification of CSMN. Fezf2 alone can cell-autonomously instruct the acquisition of CSMN-specific features when expressed in diverse, permissive cellular contexts, in vivo. In order to understand the molecular logic underlying the acquisition of CSMN traits upon Fezf2 expression, we compared the in vivo gene expression of FACS-purified cortical progenitors that ectopically expressed Fezf2 to control progenitors.

Fezf2 overexpression in murine cortical progenitors in vivo

Project description:Corticospinal motor neurons (CSMN) are one specialized class of cortical excitatory neurons, which connect layer Vb of the cortex to the spinal cord. a master transcription factor –Forebrain expressed zinc finger 2 (Fezf2) – has been identified that is necessary for the fate specification of CSMN. Fezf2 alone can cell-autonomously instruct the acquisition of CSMN-specific features when expressed in diverse, permissive cellular contexts, in vivo. In order to understand the molecular logic underlying the acquisition of CSMN traits upon Fezf2 expression, we compared the in vivo gene expression of FACS-purified cortical progenitors that ectopically expressed Fezf2 to control progenitors. We used in utero electroporation to deliver Fezf2GFP or CtrlGFP expression vectors to neocortical progenitors at E14.5, when they primarily generate CPN of the upper layers. Overexpression of Fezf2 in these progenitors is sufficient to instruct a fate-switch resulting in the generation of CSMN and other subtypes of corticofugal projection neurons. Fezf2GFP- and CtrlGFP -electroporated progenitors were FACS-purified at 24 and 48 hours after surgery and acutely profiled by microarrays.

The regeneration transcriptome of corticospinal neurons

Project description:In the present study, we identify transcriptional mechanisms associated with corticospinal regeneration. We took advantage of the ability of NPC grafts to support corticospinal regeneration, together with a genetic mouse model (Glt25d2-GFP-L10a mice, in which a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) codes for GFP-tagged polyribosomes in layer 5b cortical neurons) to selectively enrich actively translated mRNA pools from layer Vb cortical projection neurons containing corticospinal neurons (Doyle et al., Cell 2008).

RNA-seq of postnatal day 0 (P0) wild-type, Fezf2-/- cortices, and Fezf2-/-;Fezf2-EnR cortices

Project description:The goal of the study was to compare gene expression of P0 wild-type, P0 Fezf2-/- cortices, and Fezf2-/-; Fezf2-EnR cortices. Total RNAs were isolated from P0 cortices dissected from wild-type (n=3), Fezf2-/- mice (n=4), and Fezf2-/-; Fezf2-EnR cortices (n=2), following Qiagen RNAeasy kit instruction.Sequence libraries were made following Illumina RNA PolyA library preparation guide.The libaries were pair-end sequenced (150nt per end). Differentially expressed genes were identified by DESEQ.

Co-regulated gene expression downstream of a single transcription factor controls the acquisition of corticospinal motor neuron identity

Project description:The neocortex contains an unparalleled diversity of neuronal subtypes responsible for complex behavior. Each cortical neuron has distinct traits, which are developmentally acquired under the control of batteries of neuron subtype-specific and pan-neuronal genes. The cis-regulatory logic that orchestrates the coordinated regulation of each unique combination of genes is not known for any class of neurons of the neocortex. We report that Fezf2, a transcription factor able to induce defining features of corticospinal motor neurons (CSMN), associates with the proximal promoters and regulates expression of series of CSMN signature genes. Fezf2 targets are functionally relevant as demonstrated by the finding that Fezf2 governs expression of the axon guidance receptor EphB1 to execute the ipsilateral extension of the corticospinal tract. Our data indicate that co-regulated expression of neuron subtype-specific gene batteries by a common transcription factor is one component of the regulatory logic responsible for the establishment of CSMN identity.

Expression data from WT and Fezf2 KO mTECs

Project description:Fezf2 is highly and specifically expressed in mTECs in mouse thymus and Fezf2 deficiency (Fezf2 KO) in the thymus leads to autoimmunity. However, it is unclear how Fezf2 contributes to thymic gene expression. We collected WT and Fezf2 KO mTECs by FACS, and performed microarrays to determine genes regulated by Fezf2. mTECs were subjected to RNA extraction (from WT or Fezf2 KO mTECs) and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

The protomap is propagated to cortical plate neurons through an Eomes-dependent intermediate map

Project description:The cortical area map is initially patterned by transcription factor (TF) gradients in the neocortical primordium, which define a protomap in the embryonic ventricular zone (VZ). However, mechanisms that propagate regional identity from VZ progenitors to cortical plate (CP) neurons are unknown. Here we show that the VZ, subventricular zone (SVZ), and CP contain distinct molecular maps of regional identity, reflecting different gene expression gradients in radial glia progenitors, intermediate progenitors, and projection neurons, respectively. The intermediate map in SVZ is modulated by Eomes (also known as Tbr2), a T-box TF. Eomes inactivation caused rostrocaudal shifts in SVZ and CP gene expression, with loss of corticospinal axons and gain of corticotectal projections. These findings suggest that cortical areas and connections are shaped by sequential maps of regional identity, propagated by the Pax6 ? Eomes ? Tbr1 TF cascade. In humans, PAX6, EOMES, and TBR1 have been linked to intellectual disability and autism. To determine the role of Eomes in the propagation of the protomap to cortical plate neurons, used microarray analysis of E14.5 cortex from five wild type and three Eomes knockout mice.

Neural Stem Cells Direct Axon Guidance via their Radial Fiber Scaffold

Project description:To determine the genes regulated by Fezf2 during neocortical development, we performed RNA-seq on Fezf2 +/+; Emx1-cre (Fezf2 wildtype) and Fezf2 fl/+; Emx1-Cre (Fezf2 Knockout) neocortices isolated from the P0 mice. After RNA isolation from the dissected tissue the samples were processed for library preperation using Illumina Poly-A RNA kit. Fezf2 can reprogram the upper layer neocortical neurons to form corticospinal tract. To understand the key transcriptomic changes driven by Fezf2 that drive this reprogramming, we performed in RNA-seq on the cells over-expressing Fezf2 and Gfp or Gfp. At E15.5, in utero electroporations targeting cortical plate, were performed in pregnant mice with Fezf2 and Gfp plasmids or with Gfp plasmid alone, which was used as control. At P3, the Gfp positive cells were FAC sorted from Fezf2 and Gfp, or Gfp cortices and processed for library preparations using NUGEN Ovation® V2 system. Libraries were sequenced using Illumina 2000 platform to generate 75bp single reads. At least 10 million uniquely mapped reads were obtained for each sample. To determine the genes directly regulated by FEZF2, we performed the ChIP-Seq on N2A cells that were transfected to over express FEZF2 using pCAG- Fezf2-V5 and pCAG-V5. After 48 hr, of transfection, cells were fixed and processed for ChIP seq. Libraries were prepared using Illumina TruSeq ChIP Libary Preparation Kit.
