E12.5 Murine lateral cortical progenitor cells: Pax6sey/sey vs. Pax6+/+

ABSTRACT: The mechanisms by which the early spatiotemporal expression patterns of transcription factors such as Pax6 regulate the region-specific proliferation rates of neural progenitors are poorly understood. Pax6 is expressed in a gradient across the developing cortex and is essential for normal corticogenesis. We found that constitutive or conditional loss of Pax6 increases cortical progenitor proliferation by amounts that vary regionally with normal Pax6 levels. We compared the gene expression profiles of equivalent Pax6-expressing progenitors isolated from Pax6+/+ and Pax6-/- cortices and identified many negatively-regulated cell cycle genes including those encoding Cyclins and Cdks. Biochemical assays indicated that Pax6 directly represses Cdk6 expression. Cyclin/Cdk repression inhibits retinoblastoma protein (pRb) phosphorylation, thereby limiting the transcription of genes directly promoting mitosis, and we showed that Pax6 inhibits pRb phosphorylation and represses several genes involved in DNA replication. Our results indicate that Pax6M-bM-^@M-^Ys modulation of the cell cycles of cortical progenitors is regional and direct. Two condition experiment, Pax6sey/sey vs Pax6+/+ cortical progenitor cells from lateral cortex. 3 biological replicates. Each replicate contains RNA from cells pooled from 4 individual E12.5 embryos

Chromatin regulation by BAF170 controls cerebral cortical size and thickness.

Project description:Increased cortical size is essential to the enhanced intellectual capacity of primates during mammalian evolution. The mechanisms that control cortical size are largely unknown. Here, we show that mammalian BAF170, a subunit of the chromatin remodeling complex mSWI/SNF, is an intrinsic factor that controls cortical size. We find that the conditional deletion of BAF170 promotes indirect neurogenesis by increasing the pool of intermediate progenitors (IPs) and results in an enlarged cortex, whereas cortex-specific BAF170 over-expression results an opposing phenotype. Mechanistically, BAF170 competes with BAF155 subunit in the BAF complex, affecting the euchromatin structure and thereby modulating the binding efficiency of Pax6/REST-corepressor complex to Pax6 target genes that regulate the generation of IPs and late cortical progenitors. Our findings reveal a molecular mechanism mediated by the mSWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex that controls cortical architecture. Cortical gene expression is compared between three E12.5 mouse embryos with cortex-specific loss of BAF170 function and three littermate control embryos.

The protomap is propagated to cortical plate neurons through an Eomes-dependent intermediate map

Project description:The cortical area map is initially patterned by transcription factor (TF) gradients in the neocortical primordium, which define a protomap in the embryonic ventricular zone (VZ). However, mechanisms that propagate regional identity from VZ progenitors to cortical plate (CP) neurons are unknown. Here we show that the VZ, subventricular zone (SVZ), and CP contain distinct molecular maps of regional identity, reflecting different gene expression gradients in radial glia progenitors, intermediate progenitors, and projection neurons, respectively. The intermediate map in SVZ is modulated by Eomes (also known as Tbr2), a T-box TF. Eomes inactivation caused rostrocaudal shifts in SVZ and CP gene expression, with loss of corticospinal axons and gain of corticotectal projections. These findings suggest that cortical areas and connections are shaped by sequential maps of regional identity, propagated by the Pax6 ? Eomes ? Tbr1 TF cascade. In humans, PAX6, EOMES, and TBR1 have been linked to intellectual disability and autism. To determine the role of Eomes in the propagation of the protomap to cortical plate neurons, used microarray analysis of E14.5 cortex from five wild type and three Eomes knockout mice.

Regulation of Tlx3 by Pax6 is required for the restricted expression of ChrnÎ±3 in Cerebellar Granule Neuron progenitors during development

Project description:Homeobox gene Tlx3 is known to promote glutamatergic differentiation and is expressed in post-mitotic neurons of CNS. Contrary to this here, we discovered that Tlx3 is expressed in the proliferating progenitors of the external granule layer in the cerebellum, and examined factors that regulate this expression. Using Pax6-/-Sey mouse model and molecular interaction studies we demonstrate Pax6 is a key activator of Tlx3 specifically in cerebellum, and induces its expression starting at embryonic day (E)15. By Postnatal day (PN)7, Tlx3 is expressed in a highly restricted manner in the cerebellar granule neurons of the posterior cerebellar lobes, where it is required for the restricted expression of nicotinic cholinergic receptor-Î±3 subunit (ChrnÎ±3) and other genes involved in formation of synaptic connections and neuronal migration. These results demonstrate a novel role for Tlx3 and indicate that Pax6-Tlx3 expression and interaction is part of a region specific regulatory network in cerebellum and its deregulation during development could possibly lead to Autistic spectral disorders (ASD) Anterior and posterior lobes of PN7 mouse cerebellum were isolated separately and differentially expressed genes were identified.

Gene expression affected by loss-of- or gain-of-function of Dmrt3/Dmrta2 in the dorsomedial telencephalon

Project description:We then examined the mutant mice that lack both Dmrt3 and Dmrta2 alleles, and found the size of the medial cortex including the hippocampus and the cortical hem was significantly reduced in mutant brains .To further investigate how Dmrt3 and Dmrta2 are involved in the development of the medial cortex, we applied gene expression profiling approach using whole genome DNA microarray to identify genes which are differentially expressed in Dmrt3/Dmrta2-knockdown cells. Cortical cells knocked-down both Dmrt3 and Dmrta2 exhibited a dramatic increase of Pax6 expression in the medial cortex, leading to the precocious neuronal differentiation, and simultaneous knockdown of Pax6 with Dmrt3/Dmrta2 rescued the phenotype. Our results unveil a key mechanism that mammalian Dmrt factors maintain more proliferative potential of neural progenitors by suppressing Pax6 expression in the developing cerebral cortex.

The Epigenetic Factor Landscape of Developing Neocortex is Regulated by Transcription Factors Pax6→Tbr2→Tbr1

Project description:Epigenetic factors (EFs) regulate multiple aspects of cerebral cortex development, including proliferation, neuronal differentiation, laminar fate, and regional identity. The same neurodevelopmental processes are also regulated by transcription factors (TFs), notably the Pax6→Tbr2→Tbr1 cascade expressed sequentially in radial glial progenitors, intermediate progenitors, and postmitotic projection neurons, respectively. Here, we studied the EF landscape and its regulation in embryonic mouse neocortex. Microarray and in situ hybridization assays revealed that many EF genes are expressed in specific cortical cell types, such as intermediate progenitors, or in rostrocaudal gradients. Furthermore, many EF genes are directly bound and transcriptionally regulated by Pax6, Tbr2, or Tbr1, as determined by chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing and gene expression analysis of TF mutant cortices. The results demonstrated that Pax6, Tbr2, and Tbr1 form a direct feedforward genetic cascade, with direct feedback repression. Results also revealed that each TF regulates multiple EF genes that control DNA methylation, histone marks, chromatin remodeling, and noncoding RNA.

Gene expression profiling of Six2-positive nephron progenitors from mouse embryo

Project description:Nephron progenitors in the embryonic kidney propagate while generating differentiated nephrons. However, the progenitors in mice terminally differentiate shortly after birth. We defined culture conditions to selectively propagated nephron progenitors in vitro in an undifferentiated state. To understand how expression profiles of Six2+ cells changed during culture in vitro compared with in vivo, we performed microarray analysis of Six2+ cells at E11.5 (starting material) and P0 (experiencing 8 days in vivo), and cultured Six2+ cells at E11.5 for 8 days or 19 days. Microarray analysis were performed with isolated Six2-positive nephron progenitors from transgenic mice embryo at E11.5 or P0, and cultured E11.5 Six2+ cells for 8 or 19 days in conditioned media. P0 non-progenitors represent Six2-GFP-negative cells at P0.

Pax6 mutant neocortex vs. wild type

Project description:Pax6 is a transcription factor with key functional roles in embryonic development. In order to identify downstream effectors of Pax6 in the developing cerebral cortex we performed microarray analysis. We compared gene expression profiles of cortical tissues isolated from wild type and Pax6-/- mouse embryos. In order to identify Pax6 downstream targets we carried out microarray analysis of Pax6-/- mutant mice. Pax6 is highly expressed in the mouse cerebral cortex at embryonic day E14.5, therefore we selected this tissue in order to compare gene expression profiles between wild type and Pax6-/- homozygous cortici. RNA samples were isolated from three mutant and three wild type embryos.
