A Critical Role of cTAGE5/MEA6 in Brain Development through Regulation of Trafficking of Cellular Components in Neurons

ABSTRACT: Normal neural development is essential for the formation of neuronal networks and brain function. cTAGE5/MEA6 plays a critical role in the secretion of proteins. However, its roles in the transport of non-secretory cellular components and in brain development remain unknown. Here, we show that cTAGE5/MEA6 is essential for brain development and function. Conditional knockout of cTAGE5/MEA6 in the brain leads to severe defects in neural development, including deficits in dendrite outgrowth and branching, synapse formation and/or maintenance, astrocyte activation, and abnormal behaviors. We reveal that loss of cTAGE5/MEA6 affects the interaction between the coat protein complex II (COPII) components, SAR1 and SEC23, leading to persistent activation of SAR1 and defects in COPII vesicle formation and transport from the ER to Golgi, as well as disturbed trafficking of membrane components in neurons. These defects affect not only the transport of materials required for the development of dendrites and spines, but also the signaling pathways required for neuronal development. Since mutations in cTAGE5/MEA6 have been found in patients with Fahr’s disease, our study potentially also provides insight into the pathogenesis of this disorder.

Essential roles of the histone methyltransferase ESET in the epigenetic control of neural progenitor cells during development

Project description:In the developing brain, neural progenitor cells (NPCs) switch the differentiation competency via changing gene expression profiles that are governed partly by epigenetic control such as histone modification, although the precise mechanism is unknown. Here we found that ESET/Setdb1/KMT1E, a histone H3 Lys-9 (H3K9) methyltransferase, was highly expressed at early stages of brain development but down-regulated over time, and that ablation of ESET led to decreased H3K9 trimethylation and misregulation of genes, resulting in severe brain defects and early lethality. In the mutant brain, endogenous retrotransposons were derepressed, and non-neural gene expression was activated. Furthermore, early neurogenesis was most severely impaired, while astrocyte formation was enhanced. We conclude that there is an epigenetic role of ESET in temporal and tissue-specific gene regulation in the developing brain. We used microarrays to identify genes up- or down- regulated when ESET is ablated in the dorsal telencephalon. We used 3 WT and 3 cKO male E14.5 embryo for each analysis

The splicing co-factor Barricade/Tat-SF1, is required for cell cycle and lineage progression in Drosophila neural stem cells.

Project description:Stem cells need to balance self-renewal and differentiation for correct tissue development and homeostasis. Defects in this balance can lead to developmental defects or tumor formation. In recent years, mRNA splicing has emerged as one important mechanism regulating cell fate decisions. Here we address the role of the evolutionary conserved splicing co-factor Barricade (Barc)/CUS2/Tat-SF1 in Drosophila neural stem cell (neuroblast) lineage formation. We show that Barc is required for the generation of neurons during Drosophila brain development by ensuring correct neural progenitor proliferation and differentiation. Barc associates with components of the U2 small nuclear ribonucleic proteins (snRNP), and its depletion causes alternative splicing in form of intron retention in a subset of genes. Using bioinformatics analysis and a cell culture based splicing assay, we found that Barc dependent introns share three major traits: they are short, GC rich and have weak 3’ splice sites. Our results show that Barc, together with the U2snRNP, plays an important role in regulating neural stem cell lineage progression during brain development and facilitates correct splicing of a subset of introns.

TGFβ-signalling and FOXG1 expression hallmark astrocyte lineage diversity in the murine ventral and dorsal forebrain

Project description:Heterogeneous astrocyte populations are defined by diversity in cellular environment, progenitor identity or function. Yet, little is known about the extent of the heterogeneity and how this diversity is acquired during development. We used SILAC and quantitative proteomics to characterise primary murine telencephalic progenitor cells from FOXG1 (forkhead box G1)-cre driven Tgfbr2 (transforming growth factor beta receptor 2) knockout mice and identified differential protein expression of the astrocyte proteins GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein) and MFGE8 (milk fat globule-EGF factor 8). Biochemical and histological investigations revealed distinct populations of astrocytes in the dorsal and ventral telencephalon marked by GFAP or MFGE8 protein expression. The two subtypes differed in their response to TGFβ-signalling. Impaired TGFβ-signalling affected numbers of GFAP-astrocytes in the ventral telencephalon. In contrast, TGFβ reduced MFGE8 expression in astrocytes deriving from both regions. Additionally, lineage tracing revealed that both GFAP and MFGE8 astrocyte subtypes derived partly from FOXG1-expressing neural precursor cells.

Expression profiling analysis of mouse E10.5 Magoh mutant brain cortices

Project description:Human brain structure and size requires regulated division of neural stem cells (NSCs). NSCs undergo precise divisions to self-renew and to produce intermediate neural progenitors (INPs) and neurons. The factors that regulate NSC divisions remain poorly understood, as do mechanistic explanations of how aberrant NSC division causes reduced brain size, as seen in microcephaly. Here we demonstrate that Magoh, a component of the core exon junction complex (EJC) that binds spliced RNA, controls cerebral cortical size by regulating NSC division. Magoh haploinsufficiency causes microcephaly due to INP depletion, neuronal apoptosis, and improper mitotic spindle orientation. Defective mitosis underlies these phenotypes as depletion of EJC components disrupts mitotic spindle integrity, chromosome number and genomic stability. We show that an essential function of Magoh is to regulate expression of the human microcephaly protein, LIS1, and that Lis1 addition rescues neurogenesis defects caused by Magoh knockdown, thus providing a genetic explanation for the microcephaly. This study uncovers new requirements for the EJC in brain development, NSC maintenance, mitosis and chromosome stability, thus implicating this complex in the pathogenesis of microcephaly. Mouse embryonic cortices were used for expression analysis 5 biological replicates each of control (C57BL/6) and Magoh mutant brains were analyzed

The transcriptional response to Norrin/Fz4 signaling

Project description:Using mice with targeted gene mutations, we identify (1) distinct roles for different canonical Wnt signaling components in central nervous system (CNS) vascular development and in the specification of the blood-brain and blood-retina barriers (BBB and BRB) and (2) differential sensitivities of the vasculature in various CNS regions to perturbations in canonical Wnt signaling components. We find nearly equivalent roles for Lrp5 and Lrp6 in brain vascular development and barrier maintenance but a dominant role for Lrp5 in the retinal vasculature, an especially high sensitivity of the BBB in the cerebellum and pons/interpeduncular nuclei to decrements in canonical Wnt signaling, and plasticity in the barrier properties of mature CNS vasculature. Brain and retinal vascular defects caused by loss of Norrin/Frizzled4 signaling can be fully rescued by stabilizing beta-catenin, and loss of beta-catenin’s transcriptional activation domain or expression of a dominant negative Tcf4 recapitulates the vascular development and barrier defects seen with loss of receptor, co-receptor, or ligand, indicating that Norrin/Frizzled4 signaling acts predominantly by beta-catenin-dependent transcriptional regulation. This work strongly supports a model in which identical or nearly identical canonical Wnt signaling mechanisms mediate neural tube and retinal vascularization and maintain the BBB and BRB. Total retina RNA from P10 WT, NdpKO, Ctnnb1flex3/+;Pdgfb-CreER, and NdpKO;Ctnnb1flex3/+;Pdgfb-CreER mice was subjected to RNAseq

Ciliogenesis defects after neurulation impact brain development and neuronal activity in larval zebrafish

Project description:Cilia are slender, hair-like structures extending from cell surfaces and playing essential roles in diverse physiological processes. Within the nervous system, primary cilia contribute to signaling and sensory perception, while motile cilia facilitate cerebrospinal fluid flow. Here, we investigated the impact of ciliary loss on neural circuit development using a zebrafish line displaying ciliogenesis defects. We found that cilia defects after neurulation affects neurogenesis and brain morphology, especially in the cerebellum, and lead to altered gene expression profiles. Using whole brain calcium imaging, we measured reduced light-evoked and spontaneous neuronal activity in all brain regions. By shedding light on the intricate role of cilia in neural circuit formation and function in the zebrafish, our work highlights their evolutionary conserved role in the brain and set the stage for future analysis of ciliopathy models.

Modeling Human Cytomegalovirus-Induced Microcephaly in Human iPSC-derived Brain Organoids

Project description:We show that HCMV infection of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived brain organoids can recapitulate severe clinical manifestations such as microcephaly. We demonstrate that infection of hiPSC-derived brain organoids by the “clinical-like” HCMV strain TB40/E results in substantially reduced brain organoid growth, impaired formation of cortical layers, abnormal calcium signaling, and disrupted neural network. Accordingly, RNA-seq analysis revealed that genes down-regulated in TB40/E-infected brain organoids include those involved in neural development and calcium signaling. Moreover, we show that the impeded brain organoid development and abnormal neural network caused by TB40/E infection can be prevented by neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) that recognize different epitopes of the HCMV envelope pentamer complex (PC), a major target of HCMV-specific humoral immunity. These results demonstrate in a three-dimensional human cellular biosystem that HCMV can cause severe brain malformation and disrupt calcium signaling and neural network activity. This study also provides insights into the potential capacity of NAbs to mitigate brain defects resulted from congenital HCMV infection.

Transcriptional effects of a 6h treatment with 2% isoflurane in the anterior cingulate cortex of the 24h old neonatal piglet brain

Project description:Exposure of the developing brain to general anesthesia during early infancy may adversely affect its neural and cognitive development. In a range of animal species early developmental exposure to general anaesthesia without surgery, induces an increase in brain cell death, reductions in neuro and synapto-genesis, a disruption to the expression of cognitively salient genes and deficits in cognitive function that persist throughout life. We examined the effects of the anesthetic isoflurane (2% concentration for 6h) without surgery on gene expression in the anterior cingulate cortex of the neonatal male piglet brain. The developing piglet brain demonstrates remarkable neurodevelopmental similarities to that seen in the human infant, which has led to extensive use as models of perinatal neural injury. Isoflurane induced significant disruption to the expression of 79 gene transcripts, of these 26 are important for the control of transcription and 23 are important for the mediation of neural plasticity, memory formation and recall. Overall this data may suggest novel additional mechanisms by which isoflurane may induce adverse neural and cognitive development by disrupting the expression of genes mediating activity dependent development of neural circuits, the predictive adaptive responses of the brain, memory formation and recall.

Microenvironment remodeling during human iPSC-derived NSC 3D differentiation

Project description:Brain microenvironment plays an important role in neurodevelopment and function, where extracellular matrix (ECM) components and soluble factors modulate cellular features, as migration, proliferation survival and neuronal function. Disruption of microenvironment’s homeostasis is often related to pathological conditions. Here, we addressed the microenvironment remodeling occurring during in vitro differentiation of human neural stem cells (NSC) in a three-dimensional (3D) culture system. Proteome and transcriptome dynamics revealed significant changes namely at cell membrane and ECM composition during 3D differentiation, diverging significantly from the profile of monolayer cultures (2D). Structural proteoglycans typically found in brain ECM were enriched during 3D differentiation, while 2D cultures presented increased levels of basement membrane constituents (e.g., laminins, collagens and fibrillins). Moreover, higher expression levels of synaptic machinery and ion transport machinery constituents observed for 3D cultures, both at mRNA and protein levels, suggested a higher degree of neuronal maturation and organization relative to 2D differentiation. This work demonstrated that neural cellular and extracellular features can be recapitulated in the presented 3D neural cell model, highlighting its value to address molecular defects in cell-ECM interactions associated with neurological disorders. <html><head>Associated GEO dataset is available at</head><body><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi">GSE102139</a></body></html>
