Project description:During cellular specification, transcription factors orchestrate cellular decisions through gene regulation. By hijacking these transcriptional networks, human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) can be specialized into neurons with different molecular identities for the purposes of regenerative medicine and disease modeling. However, molecular fine tuning cell types to match their in vivo counterparts remains a challenge. Directing cell fates often result in blended or incomplete neuron identities. A better understanding of hPSC to neuron gene regulation is needed. Here, we used single cell RNA sequencing to resolve some of these graded molecular identities during human neurogenesis from hPSCs. Differentiation platforms were established to model neural induction from stem cells, and we characterized these differentiated cell types by 10x single cell RNA sequencing. Using single cell trajectory and co-expression analyses, we identified a co-regulated transcription factor module expressing achaete-scute family basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor 1 (ASCL1) and neuronal differentiation 1 (NEUROD1). We then tested the function of these transcription factors in neuron subtype differentiation by gene knockout in a novel human system that reports the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), the rate limiting enzyme in dopamine synthesis. ASCL1 was identified as a necessary transcription factor for regulating dopaminergic neurotransmitter selection.

Project description:Dopaminergic neurons participate in fundamental physiological processes and are the cell type primarily affected in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Their analysis is challenging due to the intricate nature of their function, their involvement in diverse neurological processes, their heterogeneity and localization in deep brain regions. Consequently, most of the research on the protein dynamics of dopaminergic neurons has been performed in animal cells ex vivo. Here we use iPSC-derived, human mid-brain specific dopaminergic neurons to study general features of their proteome biology. We use dynamic SILAC to measure the half-life of more than 4,300 proteins. We report uniform turnover rates of conserved protein complexes and identify several outliers in the mitochondrial outer membrane and mitophagy pathway. Our study provides a workflow and resource for future applications of quantitative proteomics in iPSC-derived human neurons.

Project description:We studied human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)-derived dopaminergic (DA) neuron populations carrying CNVs of 16p11.2 duplication and 16p11.2 deletion.
Previously, healthy human iPSCs were edited using CRISPR-Cas9 method to produce isogenic lines with 16p11.2 deletion or 16p11.2 duplication. We differentiated these
isogenic iPSC lines into neural precursor cells and dopaminergic neurons and collected RNA samples for gene expression analyses with RNA sequencing. Our aim was to
identify differences in the expression of synaptic markers, neuronal differentiation markers, and neuron specific receptors that affect functionality of the neurons with 16p11.2
CNVs compared to isogenic control lines. We also studied physiological properties of these isogenic iPSC-derived DA neurons with 16p11.2 CNVs. In addition, we studied
expression and activation of a specific molecular pathway KCTD13-RHOA in the iPSC derived DA neuron populations with 16p11.2 CNVs.

Project description:To better understand how human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) differentiate from progenitor cells into distinct neuronal states, we performed 10x single cell RNA sequencing on in vitro directed differentiation cultures. We established differentiation platforms that model neural induction from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and single cell profiled two systems: 1) co-culture of progenitors and neurons and 2) purified neurons.

Consequently, most of the research on the protein dynamics of dopaminergic neurons has been performed in animal cells ex vivo. Here we use iPSC-derived, human mid-brain specific dopaminergic neurons to study general features of their proteome biology. We use differential dynamic SILAC labeling in combination with microfluidic devices to analyze local protein synthesis and transport between axons and soma. We report 105 potentially novel axonal markers and detect translocation of 269 proteins between axons and the soma in the time frame of our analysis (120 hours). Importantly, we provide evidence for local synthesis of 154 proteins in the axon and their retrograde transport to the soma.

Project description:Lineage-specific transcription factors, which drive cellular identity during embryogenesis, have been shown to convert cell fate when express ectopically in heterologous cells. Herein, we screened the key molecular factors governing the dopaminergic neuronal specification during brain development for their ability to generate similar neurons directly from mouse and human fibroblasts. Remarkably, we found a minimal set of three factors Mash1, Nurr1 and Lmx1a/b able to elicit such cellular reprogramming. Molecular and transcriptome studies showed reprogrammed DA neurons to faithfully recapitulate gene expression of their brain homolog cells while lacking expression of other catecholaminergic neuronal types. Induced neurons showed spontaneous electrical activity organized in regular spikes consistent with the pacemaker activity featured by brain DA neurons. The three factors were able to elicit DA neuronal conversion in human fibroblasts from prenatal or adult fibroblasts of healthy donors and a Parkinson’s disease patient. Generation of DA induced neurons from somatic cells might have significant implications in studies of neural development, disease in vitro modeling and cell replacement therapies. We infected mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) isolated from TH-GFP knock-in mice embryos at E14.5, with lentiviruses expressing the three dopaminergic transcription factors Ascl1, Lmx1a and Nurr1. TH-GFP MEFs infected (Ind) by a pool of the three previously mentioned dopaminergic lentiviruses were shifted in a neuronal medium for 12 days and sorted for GFP-positive cells. Thus we extracted mRNA from Ind-GFP-positive cells and compared them to not infetced (NI) cells by means of RNA-microarray analysis.

Project description:Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) harbor great promise for in vitro generation of disease-relevant cell types, such as mesodiencephalic dopaminergic (mdDA) neurons involved in Parkinson’s disease. Although iPSC-derived midbrain DA neurons have been generated, detailed genetic and epigenetic characterization of such neurons is still lacking. The goal of this study is to examine the authenticity of iPSC-derived DA neurons obtained by established protocols. We FACS-purified mdDA (Pitx3gfp/+) neurons derived from mouse iPSCs and primary mdDA (Pitx3gfp/+) neurons to analyze and compare their genetic and epigenetic features. Although iPSC-derived DA neurons largely adopt characteristics of their in-vivo counterparts, relevant deviations in global gene expression and DNA methylation were found. Hypermethylated genes, mainly involved in neurodevelopment and basic neuronal functions, consequently showed reduced expression levels. Such abnormalities should be addressed as they might affect unambiguous long-term functionality and hamper the potential of iPSC-derived DA neurons for in-vitro disease modeling or cell-based therapy. RRBS methylation maps were generated for iPSCs cells, dopaminergic neurons derived from iPSCs and primary mesodiencephalic dopaminergic neurons

Project description:Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by α-synuclein accumulation and dopaminergic neuron degeneration, with dopamine (DA) oxidation emerging as a key pathological driver. However, the mechanisms underlying this neurotoxic process remain unclear. Using PD patient-derived and CRISPR-engineered iPSC midbrain dopaminergic neurons lacking DJ-1, we identified defective sequestration of cytosolic DA into synaptic vesicles, which culminated in DA oxidation and α-synuclein accumulation. In-depth proteomics, state-of-the-art imaging, and ultrasensitive DA probes uncovered that decreased VMAT2 protein and function impaired vesicular DA uptake, resulting in reduced vesicle availability and abnormal vesicle morphology.
