Project description:Forced expression of pro-neural transcription factors was shown to mediate direct neuronal conversion of human fibroblasts. Since neurons are postmitotic, the conversion efficiency represents an important parameter. Here we present a minimalist approach combining two factor neuronal programming with small molecule-based inhibition of GSK3ß and SMAD signaling, which gives rise to functional neuron-like cells (iNs) of various neurotransmitter phenotypes with an overall yield of up to >200% and a final neuronal purity of up to >80%.

Project description:Microglia, the brain resident macrophages, play a key role in the regulation of brain function by removing dying neurons, pruning non-functional synapses, and producing ligands that support neuronal survival. We have identified a new function of microglia as critical modulators of neuronal activity and associated behavioral responses in mice. We show that microglia respond to neuronal activation and that ablation of microglia amplifies and synchronizes the activity of neurons, leading to seizures. The suppressive impact of microglia on neuronal activation occurs in a highly localized fashion and depends on the ability of microglia to sense and catabolize extracellular ATP. ATP, which can be released upon neuronal activation by neurons and astrocytes, triggers the recruitment of microglia protrusions and is converted by the microglial ATP-hydrolyzing enzyme CD39 and CD73 into AMP and adenosine, a potent suppressor of neuronal activity. We show that the microglial sensing of ATP, the ensuing production of adenosine, and the adenosine-mediated control of neuronal response via the A1R are essential for the microglia-mediated regulation of neuronal activity and animal behavior. Our findings suggest that this microglia-driven negative feedback mechanism operates in a fashion similar to inhibitory neurons and plays an essential role in protecting the brain from excessive activation in health and diseases.

Project description:Neuronal reprogramming using adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) carrying a GFAP mini-promoter to drive neurogenic transcription factor expression in astrocytes in vivo were refuted due to off-target neuronal expression. Here, we show successful neuronal conversion of pre-labeled astrocytes using AAV-GFAP to express phospho-deficient Ascl1SA6, and demonstrate that miR124 target sites reduce off-target neuronal expression. Finally, single cell transcriptomic and pseudotime trajectory analyses confirmed Ascl1SA6-driven astrocyte-to-neuron conversion, and more limited oligodendrocyte conversion events

Project description:Microglia, the immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS), play critical roles in brain physiology and pathology. We report a novel approach that produces within ten days the differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) into microglia (iMG) by forced expression of both SPI1 and CEBPA. High-level expression of the main microglial markers and the purity of the iMG cells were confirmed by RT-qPCR, immunostaining and flow cytometry analyses. Whole transcriptome analysis demonstrated that these iMGs resemble human fetal/adult microglia but not human monocytes. Moreover, these iMGs exhibited appropriate physiological functions, including various inflammatory responses, ADP/ATP-evoked migration and phagocytic ability. When co-cultured with hiPSC-derived neurons (iNs), the iMGs respond and migrate toward injured neurons. This study has established a protocol for the rapid conversion of hiPSCs into functional iMGs, which should facilitate functional studies of human microglia using different disease models and also help with drug discovery.

Project description:A variety of newly developed next-generation sequencing technologies are making their way rapidly into the research and clinical applications, for which accuracy and cross-lab reproducibility are critical, and reference standards are much needed. However, there is still a lack of well-characterized reference materials which include epigenomic and proteomic data. Our previous multicenter studies under the SEQC-2 umbrella using a breast cancer cell line with paired B-cell line have produced large amount different genomic data including whole genome sequencing (Illumina, PacBio, Nanopore), HiC, and scRNA-seq with detailed analyses on somatic mutations, single-nucleotide variations (SNVs), and structure variations (SVs). Here we further performed ATAC-seq, Methyl-seq, RNA-seq, and proteomic analyses and provided a comprehensive catalog of epigenomic landscape, which overlapped with the transcriptomes and proteomes for the two cell lines. We identified >7,700 peptide isoforms, where the majority (95%) of the genes had a single peptide isoform and found that the protein expression levels of the transcripts overlapping CGIs were much higher than the protein expression levels of the non-CGI transcripts in both cell lines. We observed that open chromatin regions had low methylation while closed chromatin regions had high methylation, which were largely regulated by CG density, where CG-rich regions had more accessible chromatin, low methylation, and higher gene and protein expressions. The CG-poor regions had higher repressive epigenetic regulations (less open chromatin and higher DNA methylation), resulting in a cell line specific methylation and gene expression patterns. Our studies provide well-defined reference materials consisting of two cell lines with genomic, epigenomic, transcriptomic, scRNA-seq and proteomic characterizations which can serve as standards for validating and benchmarking not only on various omics assays, but also on bioinformatics methods. It will be a valuable resource for both research and clinical communities.

Project description:Neuronal restricted progenitors (NRPs) represent a type of transitional intermediate cells that lie between multipotent neural progenitors (NPs) and terminal differentiated neurons during neurogenesis. These NRPs have the ability to self-renew and differentiate into neurons, but not into glial cells, which is considered as an advantage for cellular therapy of human neurodegenerative diseases. However, difficulty in the extraction of highly purified NPRs from normal nervous tissue prevents further studies and applications. In this study, we reported conversion of human fetal dermal fibroblasts into human induced neuronal restricted progenitors (hiNRPs) in seven days by using just three defined factors: Sox2, c-Myc, and either Brn2 or Brn4. The hiNRPs exhibited distinct neuronal characteristics, including cell morphology, multiple neuronal markers expression, self-renewal capacity, and genome-wide transcriptional profile. Moreover, hiNRPs were able to differentiate into various terminal neurons with functional membrane properties, but not glial cells. Direct generation of hiNRPs from somatic cells will provide a new source of cells for cellular replacement therapy of human neurodegenerative diseases. This is a general expression microarray design (NimbleGen platform). It includes 5 samples.

Project description:Expression profiling of distinct central nervous system (CNS) cell populations has been employed to facilitate disease classification and to provide insights into the molecular basis of brain pathology. One important cell type implicated in a wide variety of CNS disease states is the resident brain macrophage (microglia). In these studies, microglia are often isolated from dissociated brain tissue by flow sorting procedures [fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS)] or from postnatal glial cultures by mechanic isolation. Given the highly dynamic and state-dependent functions of these cells, the use of FACS or short-term culture methods may not accurately capture the biology of brain microglia. In the current study, we performed RNA-sequencing using Cx3cr1+/GFP labeled microglia isolated from the brainstem of 6-week-old mice to compare the transcriptomes of FACS-sorted versus laser capture microdissection (LCM). While both isolation techniques resulted in a large number of shared (common) transcripts, we identified transcripts unique to FACS-isolated and LCM-captured microglia. In particular, M-bM-^HM-<50% of these LCM-isolated microglial transcripts represented genes typically associated with neurons and glia. While these transcripts clearly localized to microglia using complementary methods, they were not translated into protein. Following the induction of murine experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, increased oligodendrocyte and neuronal transcripts were detected in microglia, while only the myelin basic protein oligodendrocyte transcript was increased in microglia after traumatic brain injury. Collectively, these findings have implications for the design and interpretation of microglia transcriptome-based investigations. Wildtype and GFP expressing microglia from mouse brainstems were flow sorted or captured by laser microdissection. Differences between the two isolation methods were verified and further examined in neurodegenerative disease models.
