Brain heterotopia formation by ciliopathic breakdown of neuroepithelial and blood-cerebrospinal fluid barriers

ABSTRACT: In this study, we found that ablation of genes encoding ciliary transport proteins such as intraflagellar transport homolog 88 (Ift88) and kinesin family member 3a (Kif3a) in cortical radial progenitors led to periventricular heterotopia during late mouse embryogenesis. Conditional mutation of primary cilia unexpectedly caused breakdown of both the neuroepithelial lining and the blood-choroid plexus barrier. Choroidal leakage was partially caused by enlargement of the choroid plexus in the cilia mutants. We found that the choroid plexus expressed platelet-derived growth factor A (Pdgf-A) and that Pdgf-A expression was ectopically increased in cilia-mutant embryos. Cortices obtained from embryos in utero electroporated with Pdgfa mimicked periventricular heterotopic nodules of the cilia mutant.

Choroid plexus mast cells drive tumor-associated hydrocephalus

Project description:Tumor-associated hydrocephalus (TAH) is a common and lethal complication of brain metastases. Although other factors beyond mechanical obstructions have been suggested, the exact mechanisms are unknown. Using single-nucleus RNA-sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, we find that a distinct population of mast cells locate in the choroid plexus and dramatically increase during TAH. Genetic fate-tracing and intracranial mast cell-specific tryptase knockout showed that choroid plexus mast cells (CPMCs) disrupt cilia of choroid plexus epithelia via the tryptase-PAR2-FoxJ1 pathway and consequently increase cerebrospinal fluid production. Mast cells are also found in the human choroid plexus. Levels of tryptase in cerebrospinal fluid are closely associated with clinical severity of TAH. BMS-262084, an inhibitor of tryptase, can cross blood-brain-barrier, inhibits TAH in vivo and alleviates mast cell-induced damage of epithelial cilia in a human pluripotent stem cell-derived choroid plexus organoid model. Collectively, we uncover the function of CPMCs and provide an attractive therapy for TAH.

Gene expression profiles obtained from laser-microdissected human choroid plexus papilloma cells

Project description:Gene expression profiles generated from human tumor cells laser-microdissected from surgical samples of seven choroid plexus papillomas (Grade I WHO) as eight samples of epithelial cells lasermicrodissected from normal choroid plexus obtained at autopsy. Choroid plexus tumors are rare pediatric brain tumors derrived from the choroid plexus epithelium. Gene expression profiles of lasermicrodissected tumor cells from 7 individual choroid plexus tumor samples obtained at surgery were compared to gene expression profiles from non-neoplastic choroid plexus epithelial cells lasermicrodissected from normal non-neoplastic choroid plexus obtained at autopsy (Am J Surg Pathol. 2006 Jan;30(1):66-74.) in order to identfy genes differentially expressed in choroid plexus tumor cells.

Composition of the cerebrospinal fluid of normal and Mpdz-linked hydrocephalus-harboring mice

Project description:Though congenital hydrocephalus is heritable, it has been linked only to eight genes, one of which is MPDZ. Humans and mice that carry a truncated version of MPDZ incur severe hydrocephalus resulting in acute morbidity and lethality. We show by magnetic resonance imaging that contrast-medium penetrates into the brain ventricles of mice carrying a Mpdz loss-of-function mutation, whereas none is detected in the ventricles of normal mice, implying that the permeability of the choroid plexus epithelial cell monolayer is abnormally high. Comparative proteomic analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid of normal and hydrocephalic mice revealed up to a 53-fold increase in protein concentration, suggesting that transcytosis through the choroid plexus epithelial cells of Mpdz KO mice is substantially higher than in normal mice. These conclusions are supported by ultrastructural evidence, and by immunohistochemistry and cytology data. Our results provide a straightforward and concise explanation for the pathophysiology of Mpdz-linked hydrocephalus.

Comparison of the Global Gene Expression of Choroid Plexus and Meninges and Associated Vasculature under Control Conditions and after Pronounced Hyperthermia or Amphetamine Toxicity

Project description:These tissue were harvested to complement and extend the studies that generated GSE23093. They served 3 purposes; 1) identify genes important to choroid plexus function and compare them with those important for meninges and associated vasculature (MAV) function, 2) determine genes in the choroid plexus and sensitivity hyperthermia and amphetamine toxicity, 3) identify the important gene expression changes related to the immune system in MAV, choroid plexus and trunk' blood Gene mRNA expression patterns in choroid plexus and trunk blood were determined under control conditions as well as after (3 hr and 1day) exposure to either environmentally-induced hyperthermia or neurotoxic doses of amphetamine. This data was analyzed and compared to data from meninges and associated vasculature previously deposited in GEO. The data gathered under control conditions was used to further understand how the choroid plexus and meninges and associated vasculature might function to generate and regulate the cerebrospinal fluid. The expression patterns in the choroid plexus after environmentally-induced hyperthermia or neurotoxic doses of amphetamine was determine its damage and protective responses. The expression patterns after environmentally-induced hyperthermia or neurotoxic doses of amphetamine were compared among choroid plexus, meninges and associated vasculature and blood were analyzed to determine immune system responses.

Choroid Plexus-Derived Insulin Inhibits Feeding via Direct Signaling through Arcuate Nucleus

Project description:The choroid plexus is an important source of trophic factors for the developing and mature brain. Recently we described the expression and production of mature insulin in epithelial cells of the choroid plexus, and how its secretion can be modulated by serotonin through Htr2c, a metabotropic receptor that signals via Gq. To understand the function of this choroid plexus-derived insulin, here we describe a way to genetically target epithelial cells of the choroid plexus using a viral vector. With this, we modulated insulin expression and evaluated behavior. Insulin overexpression in the choroid plexus of wild type mice led to an inhibition in feeding, whereas insulin knockdown in choroid plexus of Ins1-/-Ins2fl/fl mice promoted discrete increases in food intake, especially after a period of fasting. Insulin overexpression in choroid plexus induced roust transcriptomic changes in the hypothalamus, most of which related to axonal growth and synapse-related processes. Finally, activation of Gq signaling in insulin-overexpressing choroid plexuses led to acute AKT phosphorylation in neurons of the arcuate nucleus, suggesting a direct action, through the CSF, of choroid plexus-derived insulin on the hypothalamus. Taken together our findings prove that the choroid plexus is a relevant source of insulin in the central nervous system, with physiological implications in feeding behavior. We believe that choroid plexus-derived insulin has to be taken into consideration in future work pertaining insulin actions in the brain.

Proteomics profiling of pediatric choroid plexus tumors

Project description:Aggresome is a para nuclear inclusion body that functions as a storage compartment for misfolded proteins. Our previous work revealed the presence of aggresomes in pediatric choroid plexus tumors (CPT). CPTs are rare neoplasms comprised of three pathological subgroups; choroid plexus carcinoma (CPC), a grade III tumor, atypical choroid plexus papilloma (ACPP), a grade II tumor, and choroid plexus papilloma (CPP), a grade I tumor. In the current study, we aimed to investigate the prognostic value of aggresomes-positivity and its correlation to the pathological and molecular subtypes. The proteomics profiling of 21 CPT pediatric samples was investigated using ABSciex Triple TOF 5600+ mass spectrometer.

OTX2 homeoprotein regulates adult choroid plexus activity

Project description:Choroid plexus secretes cerebrospinal fluid important for brain development and homeostasis. The OTX2 homeoprotein is critical for choroid plexus development and remains highly expressed in adult choroid plexus. Through RNA sequencing analyses of constitutive and conditional knockdown adult mouse models, we reveal putative roles for OTX2 in choroid plexus function, including cell signaling and adhesion, and show that it regulates the expression of factors secreted into cerebrospinal fluid, notably transthyretin. We also show that Otx2 expression impacts choroid plexus immune and stress responses, and also affects splicing which leads to changes in mRNA isoforms of proteins implicated in oxidative stress response and DNA repair. Through mass spectrometry analysis of OTX2 protein partners in the choroid plexus, and in known non-cell autonomous target regions such as visual cortex and subventricular zone, we identified putative targets involved in cell adhesion, chromatin structure and RNA processing. Thus, OTX2 retains important roles in choroid plexus function and brain homeostasis throughout life.

The evolutionarily conserved zebrafish choroid plexus maintains the size of brain ventricles

Project description:The choroid plexus produces cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by transport of electrolytes and water from the vasculature to the brain ventricles. The choroid plexus plays additional roles in brain development and homeostasis by secreting neurotrophic molecules, and by serving as a CSF-blood barrier and immune interface. Prior studies have identified transporters on the epithelial cells that transport water and ions into the ventricles and tight junctions involved in the CSF-blood barrier. Yet, how the choroid plexus epithelial cells maintain the brain ventricle system and control brain physiology remain unresolved. To provide novel insights into the physiological roles of the choroid plexus, we use juvenile and adult zebrafish as model systems. Upon histological and transcriptomic analyses, we first identified that the zebrafish choroid plexus is highly conserved with the mammalian choroid plexus and that it expresses all transporters necessary for CSF secretion. Using novel genetic lines, we also identified that the choroid plexus secretes proteins into the CSF. Next, we generated a transgenic line allowing us to ablate specifically the epithelial cells in the choroid plexus. Using the ablation system, we identified a reduction of the ventricular sizes, but no alterations of the CSF-blood barrier. Altogether, our findings identified that the zebrafish choroid plexus is evolutionarily conserved and critical for maintaining the size and homeostasis of the brain ventricles.
