An early cell shape transition drives evolutionary expansion of human forebrain

Project description:The human brain has undergone rapid expansion since humans diverged from other great apes, but the mechanism of this human-specific enlargement is still unknown. Here, we use cerebral organoids derived from human, gorilla and chimpanzee cells to study developmental mechanisms driving evolutionary brain expansion. We find that the differentiation of neuroepithelial cells to neurogenic radial glia is a protracted process in apes, involving a previously unrecognized transition state characterized by a change in cell shape. Furthermore, we show that human organoids are larger due to a delay in this transition. Temporally resolved RNA-seq from human and gorilla organoids reveals differences in gene expression patterns associated with cell morphogenesis, and in particular highlight ZEB2, a known regulator of epithelial-mesenchymal transition and cell shape. We show, through loss- and gain-of-function experiments, that ZEB2 promotes the progression of neuroepithelial differentiation, and its ectopic overexpression in human is sufficient to trigger a premature transition. By mimicking the nonhuman ape expression of this human evolution gene, we are able to force the acquisition of nonhuman ape architecture in human organoids, establishing for the first time, an instructive role of neuroepithelial cell shape in human brain expansion.

An early cell shape transition drives evolutionary expansion of the human forebrain.

Project description:The human brain has undergone rapid expansion since humans diverged from other great apes, but the mechanism of this human-specific enlargement is still unknown. Here, we use cerebral organoids derived from human, gorilla, and chimpanzee cells to study developmental mechanisms driving evolutionary brain expansion. We find that neuroepithelial differentiation is a protracted process in apes, involving a previously unrecognized transition state characterized by a change in cell shape. Furthermore, we show that human organoids are larger due to a delay in this transition, associated with differences in interkinetic nuclear migration and cell cycle length. Comparative RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) reveals differences in expression dynamics of cell morphogenesis factors, including ZEB2, a known epithelial-mesenchymal transition regulator. We show that ZEB2 promotes neuroepithelial transition, and its manipulation and downstream signaling leads to acquisition of nonhuman ape architecture in the human context and vice versa, establishing an important role for neuroepithelial cell shape in human brain expansion.

VEGF Isoform Transcriptome Changes in the E9.5 Murine Forebrain

Project description:Regulation of neural stem cell (NSC) fate decisions is critical during the transition from a multicellular mammalian forebrain neuroepithelium to the multilayered neocortex. Forebrain development requires coordinated vascular investment alongside NSC differentiation. Vascular endothelial growth factor A (Vegf) has proven to be a pleiotrophic gene whose multiple protein isoforms regulate a broad range of effects in neurovascular systems. To test the hypothesis that the Vegf isoforms (120, 164, and 188) are required for normal forebrain development, we analyzed the forebrain transcriptome of mice expressing specific Vegf isoforms, Vegf120, VegfF188, or a combination of Vegf120/188. Transcriptome analysis identified differentially expressed genes in embryonic day (E) 9.5 forebrain, a time point preceding dramatic neuroepithelial expansion and vascular investment in the telencephalon. Meta-analysis identified gene pathways linked to chromosome-level modifications, cell fate regulation, and neurogenesis that were altered in Vegf isoform mice. Twelve E9.5 wildtype forebrain samples were compared to four E9.5 Vegf120 mouse forebrains, four E9.5 Vegf188 mouse forebrains, three E9.5 Vegf120/188 mouse forebrains, and four E11.5 wild type forebrains using the Mouse 430. 2.0 Affymetrix GeneChip. This study comprises of new samples and reanalysis of Samples from GSE30767 and GSE8091.

ERK and PKA signaling drive the evolutionary expansion of the cortex

Project description:The cerebral cortex, the anatomical foundation of human intelligence, underpins our advanced cognition and language. Deciphering the regulatory mechanisms driving its remarkable expansion is essential for unraveling the unique features that define the human brain and species. Here, we demonstrate that ERK and PKA signaling pathways coordinately maintain the neurogenic identity and lineage specification of cortical radial glia (RGs) by suppressing YAP and SHH signaling. Conversely, YAP signaling promotes the RG-ependymal glial cell lineage by inhibiting ERK, PKA, and SHH signaling, while SHH signaling facilitates the generation of cortical tripotential intermediate progenitor cells (Tri-IPCs) from RG by repressing ERK, PKA, and YAP signaling. Cortical Tri-IPCs exhibit a sequential differentiation potential, giving rise to cortical astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and olfactory bulb interneurons. Importantly, we provide compelling evidence for the evolutionary conservation of these molecular mechanisms between mice and humans. Thus, ERK and PKA signaling in cortical RG establish a mutually reinforcing positive feedback loop, mediated through repressing gliogenic YAP and SHH signaling, which collectively promote human cortical expansion. This study identifies a unifying principle governing mammalian cortical neurogenesis, gliogenesis, expansion, and evolution.
