PRDM15 mutation prevents forebrain development through an Otx2 pathway

ABSTRACT: Acquiring correct brain anatomy and function requires extensive morphogenesis and patterning, which is regulated by a complex gradient of transcription factors. Members of the PR domain containing (PRDM) chromatin-modulating family of transcriptional regulators function in neuronal specification and brain patterning. Little is known about the function of PRDM15, even though it is predicted to have a role in the development of the central nervous system, and lies in the Down syndrome trisomy region of HSA21 and MMU16. Here, we show that PRDM15 is required for forebrain development and repression of hindbrain gene expression. The phenotype of Prdm15 mutants mimics that of Otx2 loss. Using RNA sequencing, we found that a PRDM15 dependent molecular pathway, which includes many homeodomain factors that pattern the forebrain, including OTX2 and PAX6, is disrupted in Prdm15 mutants. Consistent with the role of OTX2 as a master regulator of forebrain development, which represses rostral expansion of the hindbrain to maintain the brain rostro-caudal axis, conditionally inactivating PRDM15 in the forebrain also truncates the forebrain and disrupts the brain rostro-caudal axis. PRDM15 co-expresses with OTX2 in cells of the primordial anterior forebrain, a region where OTX2 is known to function, and PRDM15 binds to the Otx2 promoter, suggesting it may directly impact Otx2 expression. These findings place PRDM15 in the forebrain transcriptional hierarchy for the first time, revealing that PRDM15 is a candidate for pathogenesis in Down syndrome or other neurodevelopmental disorders.

Modelling rostro-caudal neural tube regionalization from human embryonic stem cells with a microfluidic morphogenic gradient

Project description:Studies in animal models have been fundamental for understanding brain development but only a fraction of these findings have been validated in a human context. Here, we tissue-engineered a model (MiSTR) of human neural tube regionalization based on human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and microfluidic cell culturing. By exposing differentiating hESCs to a WNT signalling gradient we mimicked early rostro-caudal neural patterning, and with >80% reproducibility generated a coherent tissue with progressive caudalization from forebrain over midbrain to hindbrain, including formation of isthmic organiser characteristics. Single-cell transcriptomics revealed that rostro-caudal organization was established already at 24 hours of differentiation, before expression of neural markers. Moreover, the transcriptomic hallmarks of rostro-caudal MiSTR organization accurately recapitulated gene expression patterns of the early rostro-caudal neural plate in mouse embryos. MiSTR thereby represents a novel in vitro model of human neurodevelopment to deconstruct and systematically analyze factors responsible for rostro-caudal neural tube patterning.

Otx2 controls regional patterning within the MGE and regional identity of the septum [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:The Otx2 homeobox transcription factor is essential for gastrulation and early neural development. We generated Otx2 conditional knockout (cKO) mice to investigate its roles in telencephalon development after E9.0. We conducted transcriptional profiling and in situ hybridization to identify genes de-regulated in Otx2 cKO ventral forebrain. In parallel, we used ChIP-seq to identify enhancer elements, OTX2 binding motif, and which de-regulated genes are likely direct targets of Otx2 transcriptional regulation. We found that Otx2 was essential in septum specification; regulation of Fgf signaling in the rostral telencephalon; and medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) patterning, neurogenesis, and oligodendrogenesis. Within the MGE, Otx2 was required for ventral but not dorsal identity; this is the first demonstration of a transcription factor that contributes to regional patterning within the MGE. Microdissected subpallium (septum, MGE, and LGE ) from wildtype E12.5 CD-1 embryos was used in three independentanti-OTX2 ChIP-seq experiments.

The transcription factor Otx2 regulates choroid plexus development and function

Project description:The choroid plexuses (ChPs) are the main regulators of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) composition and thereby also control the composition of a principal source of signaling molecules that is in direct contact with neural stem cells in the developing brain. The regulators of ChP development mediating the acquisition of a fate that differs from the neighboring neuroepithelial cells are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate in mice a crucial role for the transcription factor Otx2 in the development and maintenance of ChP cells. Deletion of Otx2 by the Otx2-CreERT2 driver line at E9 resulted in a lack of all ChPs, whereas deletion by the Gdf7-Cre driver line affected predominately the hindbrain ChP, which was reduced in size, primarily owing to an increase in apoptosis upon Otx2 deletion. Strikingly, Otx2 was still required for the maintenance of hindbrain ChP cells at later stages when Otx2 deletion was induced at E15, demonstrating a central role of Otx2 in ChP development and maintenance. Moreover, the predominant defects in the hindbrain ChP mediated by Gdf7-Cre deletion of Otx2 revealed its key role in regulating early CSF composition, which was altered in protein content, including the levels of Wnt4 and the Wnt modulator Tgm2. Accordingly, proliferation and Wnt signaling levels were increased in the distant cerebral cortex, suggesting a role of the hindbrain ChP in regulating CSF composition, including key signaling molecules. Thus, Otx2 acts as a master regulator of ChP development, thereby influencing one of the principal sources of signaling in the developing brain, the CSF. We performed gene expression microarray analysis of fourth ventricular choroid plexus tissue from Otx2 k.o. mice compared to wildtype mice from the same litters.

Cell types and lineages of hESC-derived brain cells

Project description:During development of the human brain, multiple cell types with diverse regional identities are generated. Here we report a system to generate early human brain forebrain and mid/hindbrain cell types from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), and infer and experimentally confirm a lineage tree for the generation of these types based on single-cell RNA-Seq analysis. We engineered SOX2Cit/+ and DCXCit/Y hESC lines to target progenitors and neurons throughout neural differentiation for single-cell transcriptomic profiling, then identified discrete cell types consisting of both rostral (cortical) and caudal (mid/hindbrain) identities. Direct comparison of the cell types were made to primary tissues using gene expression atlases and fetal human brain single-cell gene expression data, and this established that the cell types resembled early human brain cell types, including preplate cells. From the single-cell transcriptomic data a Bayesian algorithm generated a unified lineage tree, and predicted novel regulatory transcription factors. The lineage tree highlighted a prominent bifurcation between cortical and mid/hindbrain cell types, confirmed by clonal analysis experiments. We demonstrated that cell types from either branch could preferentially be generated by manipulation of the canonical Wnt/beta-catenin pathway. In summary, we present an experimentally validated lineage tree that encompasses multiple brain regions, and our work sheds light on the molecular regulation of region-specific neural lineages during human brain development.

Expression data from E12.5 ePet-EYFP rostral and caudal serotonin (5HT) neurons purified by flow cytometry

Project description:The 5HT system is organized into rostral and caudal populations with discrete anatomical locations and opposite axonal trajectories in the developing hindbrain. 5HT neuron cell bodies in the rostral subdivision migrate to the midbrain and pons and extend ascending projections throughout the forebrain. 5HT cell bodies in the caudal subdivision migrate to the ventral medulla and caudal half of the pons and provide descending projections to the brainstem and spinal cord.

Dynamic extrinsic pacing of the HOX clock in human axial progenitors control motor neuron subtype specification

Project description:Rostro-caudal patterning of vertebrates depends on the temporally progressive activation of HOX genes within axial stem cells that fuel axial embryo elongation. Whether HOX genes sequential activation, the “HOX clock”, is paced by intrinsic chromatin-based timing mechanisms or by temporal changes in extrinsic cues remains unclear. Here, we studied HOX clock pacing in human pluripotent stem cells differentiating into spinal cord motor neuron subtypes which are progenies of axial progenitors. We show that the progressive activation of caudal HOX genes is controlled by a dynamic increase in FGF signaling. Blocking FGF pathway stalled induction of HOX genes, while precocious increase in FGF alone, or with GDF11 ligand, accelerated the HOX clock. Cells differentiated under accelerated HOX induction generated appropriate posterior motor neuron subtypes found along the human embryonic spinal cord. The HOX clock is thus dynamically paced by exposure parameters to secreted cues. Its manipulation by extrinsic factors alleviates temporal requirements to provide unprecedented synchronized access to human cells of multiple, defined, rostro-caudal identities for basic and translational applications.
