Project description:Quiescent adult neural stem cells (NSCs) in the mammalian brain arise from proliferating NSCs during development. Beyond acquisition of quiescence, an adult NSC hallmark, little is known about the process, milestones and mechanisms underlying the transition of developmental NSCs to an adult NSC state. Here we performed targeted single-cell RNA-seq analysis to reveal the molecular cascade underlying NSC development in the early postnatal mouse dentate gyrus. We identified two sequential steps, first a transition to quiescence followed by further maturation, each of which involved distinct changes in metabolic gene expression. Direct metabolic analysis uncovered distinct milestones, including an autophagy burst before NSC quiescence acquisition and cellular ROS level elevation along NSC maturation. Functionally, autophagy is important for the NSC transition to quiescence during early postnatal development. Together, our study reveals a multi-step process with defined milestones underlying establishment of the adult NSC pool in the mammalian brain.

Project description:Somatic stem cells contribute to tissue ontogenesis, homeostasis, and regeneration through sequential processes. Systematic molecular analysis of stem cell behavior is challenging because classic approaches cannot resolve cellular heterogeneity or capture developmental dynamics. Here we provide a comprehensive resource of single-cell transcriptomes of adult hippocampal quiescent neural stem cells (qNSCs) and their immediate progeny. We further developed Waterfall, a bioinformatic suite, to statistically quantify singe-cell gene expression along de novo reconstructed continuous developmental trajectory. Our study reveals molecular signatures of qNSCs, characterized by high niche signaling integration and low protein translation capacity. Our analyses further delineate molecular cascades underlying adult qNSC activation and neurogenesis initiation, exemplified by decreased extrinsic signaling capacity, primed translational machinery, and regulatory switches in transcription factors, metabolism, and energy sources. Our study reveals the molecular continuum underlying adult neurogenesis and illustrates how Waterfall can be used for single-cell omics analyses of various continuous biological processes.

Project description:Postnatal neural stem cells are primarily quiescent, which is a cellular state that exists as a continuum from deep to shallow quiescence. The molecular changes that occur along this continuum are beginning to be understood but the transcription factor network governing these changes has not been defined. We show that these transitions are regulated by sequential transcription factor programs. Single-cell transcriptomic analyses of mice with loss- or gain-of-function of the essential activation factor Ascl1, reveal that Ascl1 promotes the activation of hippocampal neural stem cells by driving these cells out of deep quiescence, despite its low protein expression. Subsequently, during the transition from deep to shallow quiescence, Ascl1 induces the expression of Mycn, which drives progression through shallow states of quiescence towards an active state. Together, these results define the required sequence of transcription factors during hippocampal neural stem cell activation.

Project description:It has been well established that parvulbumin (PV) interneurons in the adult dentate gyrus (DG) regulate radial-glia like neural stem cells (rNSCs) through tonic GABA signaling. However, several major local interneuron subtypes co-release GABA and neuropeptides. Virtually nothing is known about whether and how endogenous neuropeptides regulate rNSCs. Here we demonstrate an unprecedented role of endogenous CCK in regulating rNSCs and hippocampal neurogenesis through distinctive states of the local astrocytes. Specifically, stimulating CCK release leads to increased Ca2+ transients in local astrocytes, and the subsequent astrocytic glutamate release promotes rNSC proliferation and neurogenesis via glutamate receptor mediated MAPK/ERK signaling cascade. In contrast, suppression of CCK synthesis switches resident astrocytes to a reactive state, which leads to decreased proliferation of rNSCs by regulating a gene network that negatively regulates rNSC proliferation. These findings have broad implications in multiple neuropathological conditions associated with altered CCK level, neuroinflammation, and impaired hippocampal neurogenesis.

Project description:Aerobic exercise is well known to promote neuroplasticity and hippocampal memory. In the developing brain, early-life exercise (ELE) can lead to lasting improvements in hippocampal function, yet molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon have not been fully explored. In this study, adolescent transgenic mice harboring the “NuTRAP” (Nuclear tagging and Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification) cassette in Emx1 expressing neurons (“Emx1-NuTRAP” mice) undergo ELE followed by a hippocampal learning task, in order to determine the molecular underpinnings of exercise contributing to improved hippocampal memory performance. We simultaneously isolate and sequence translating mRNA and nuclear chromatin from a single hippocampus in a cell-type specific manner (excitatory neurons), demonstrate validity of our new technical approach, and couple multi-omics sequencing data to evaluate histone modifications H4K8ac and H3K27me3 and their influence on gene expression after ELE. We then evaluate new gene expression – histone modification relationships specifically during hippocampal memory consolidation that may play a critical role in facilitated memory after ELE. Our data reveal novel candidate gene-histone modification interactions and implicate gene regulatory pathways involved in ELE’s impact on hippocampal learning and memory.
