Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of Wild Type and Nrl-/- Retinal Transcriptomes

ABSTRACT: Purpose: To identify the role of glycosylation of dentin matrix protein1 (DMP1), S89G-DMP1 point mutation mouse model was created with changing S89 to glycine(S89G). RNA sequencing were performed to compare the transcriptome differences between the neural stem cells or astrocytes separated form S89G-DMP1 and WT mice. Methods: mRNA profiles of astrocytes and neural stem cell separated from S89G-DMP1 and WT were generated by RNA sequencing. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with TopHat2(for astrocytes) or with HISAT2o (for neural stem cells). Results: Differential expression analyses with DESeq2 use raw read counts: 762 transcripts were downregulated and 991 transcripts were up-regulated in S89G-DMP1 astrocytes; 475 transcripts were downregulated and 343 transcripts were up-regulated in S89G-DMP1 neural stem cells. All the differential expressed genes were used for Heatmap analysis and KEGG or GO enrichment analyses. Conclusions: Our study represents the detailed transcriptome changes of astrocytes and neural stem cells with deglycosylated DMP1.

Project description:Neural precursor cells (NPCs) tend to aggregate and develop into three-dimensional (3D) spheres, which in return help maintain the stemness of the cells. This close relationship between spherical environment and cell stemness direct us to assume that 3D spheres of astrocytes may facilitate the acquiring of stem cell-like features and generate sufficient seed cells for regeneration of neurons. Primary astrocytes (ASTs) were isolated from the cerebra of postnatal day 1 to day 2 C57BL/6 mouse. ASTs were loaded onto the agarose-coated dishes and cultured to induce the formation of AST spheres. The status of the ASTs over time in cell spheres was characterized by immunochemistry, flow-cytometry, western blotting, and RNA-sequencing. The potency of AST-derived stem cells (A-iSCs) in repairing neural injuries was evaluated in mouse models of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), spinal cord injury (SCI), and peripheral nerve injury (PNI). In vitro results confirmed that mouse astrocytes cultured on agarose surfaces spontaneously formed cell spheres and exhibited molecular features similar to stem cells, capable of further differentiating into neurons particularly and forming functional synaptic networks with synchronous burst activities. RNA-sequencing results revealed the similarity of A-iSCs to NPCs in global gene expression profiles. It was observed that the transplanted A-iSCs expressed a series of markers for neural differentiation, such as NeuN, Tuj1, and Map2, indicating the conversion of the transplanted A-iSCs into neurons in these scenarios. We also found that the injured mice injected with A-iSCs exhibited significant improvements in sensorimotor functions over 8 weeks compared with the sham and control mice. Taken together, mouse astrocytes form cell spheres on agarose surfaces and acquire stem cell-associated features, and the derived A-iSCs possess the capacity to differentiate into neurons and facilitate the regeneration of damaged nerves across the nervous system.

Project description:Using multi-omics analyses including RNAseq, RT-PCR, RACE-PCR, and shotgun proteomic with enrichment strategies, we demonstrated that newborn rat astrocytes produce neural immunoglobulin constant and variable heavy chains as well as light chains. However, their edification is different from the ones found in B cells and resembles aberrant immunoglobulins as observed in several cancers. Moreover, the complete enzymatic V(D)J recombination complex has also been identified in astrocytes. In addition, the constant heavy chain is also present in astrocytes adult rats, whereas in primary astrocytes from human fetal astrocytes we identified constant and variable kappa chains as well as the substitution lambda chains known to be involved in pre-B cells. To gather insights into the function of these neural IgGs, CRISPR-Cas9 IgG2B constant heavy chain (IgH6), overexpression, proximal labeling of rat astrocytes IgH6 and targets identification through 2D gels were performed. In CRISPR-Cas9 IgG2B KO, overexpression of factors involved in hematopoietic cells, neural stem cells and the regulation of neuritogenesis have been identified. Moreover, overexpression of IgG2B in astrocytes induces the CRTC1-CREB-BDNF signaling pathway known to be involved in gliogenesis whereas CRISPR-Cas9 IgG2B KO triggers the BMP/YAP1/TEAD3 pathway activated in astrocytes dedifferentiation into neural progenitors. Proximal labeling experiments revealed that IgG2B is N-glycosylated by the OST complex, addressed to vesicle membranes containing the ATPase complex; and behaves partially like CD98hc through its association with LAT1. Proximity-dependent biotin labeling experiments suggest that proximal IgG2B-LAT1 interaction occurs concomitantly with MACO-1 and C2CD2L, at the heart of a potentially novel cell signaling platform. Finally, we demonstrated that these chains are synthesized individually and associated to recognize specific targets. Indeed, intermediate filaments Eif4a2 and Pdia6 involved in astrocyte fate constitute targets for these neural IgGs. Taken together, we hypotheses that aberrant neural IgG chains may act as gatekeepers of astrocytes fate.
