Stem cell intrinsic, Seven-up-triggered temporal factor gradients diversify intermediate neural progenitors


ABSTRACT: One neural stem cell can produce multiple transiently amplifying, intermediate neural progenitors (INP), which collectively yield diverse neuronal types. It is unclear if and how serially derived INPs contribute to neuron fate diversification. Drosophila type II neuroblasts, like mammalian neural stem cells, deposit neurons and also glia through INPs. The consecutively born INPs in a given lineage produce morphologically distinct progeny, presumably due to their inheritance of different temporal factors from the INP-producing progenitor. To uncover the underlying temporal fating mechanisms, we profiled type II neuroblasts' transcriptome across time. Our results reveal opposing temporal gradients of Imp and Syp RNA-binding proteins (descending and ascending, respectively). Maintaining high Imp throughout serial INP production expands the number of neurons/glia with early temporal fate at the expense of cells with late fate. Conversely, precocious upregulation of Syp reduces the number of cells with early fate. Further, we reveal that the transcription factor, Seven-up initiates progression of the Imp/Syp gradients. Interestingly, neuroblasts apparently locked in their beginning Imp/Syp levels can still yield progeny with a small range of early fates. We propose that the Seven-up-initiated Imp/Syp gradients create coarse temporal windows within type II neuroblasts to pattern INPs, which subsequently undergo fine-tuned subtemporal patterning.
