Project description:Neural precursor cells (NPCs) in the mammalian neocortex generate various neuronal and glial cell types in a developmental stage-dependent manner. Most neocortical NPCs lose their neurogenic potential after birth. We have previously shown that high mobility group A (HMGA) proteins confer the neurogenic potential on early-stage NPCs during the midgestation period, although the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Here we performed microarray analysis and compared expression profiles between control and HMGA2-overexpressed NPCs.

Project description:During development of the mammalian central nervous system (CNS), neurons and glial cells (astrocytes and oligodendrocytes) are generated from common neural precursor cells (NPCs). However, neurogenesis precedes gliogenesis, which normally commences at later stages of fetal telencephalic development. Astrocyte differentiation of mouse NPCs at embryonic day (E) 14.5 (relatively late gestation) is induced by activation of the transcription factor STAT3, whereas at E11.5 (mid-gestation) NPCs do not differentiate into astrocytes even when stimulated by STAT3-activating cytokines such as leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). This can be explained in part by the fact that astrocyte-specific gene promoters are highly methylated in NPCs at E11.5, but other mechanisms are also likely to play a role. We therefore sought to identify genes involved in the inhibition of astrocyte differentiation of NPCs at midgestation. We first examined gene expression profiles in E11.5 and E14.5 NPCs, using Affymetrix GeneChip analysis, applying the Percellome method to normalize gene expression level. We then conducted in situ hybridization analysis for selected genes found to be highly expressed in NPCs at midgestation. Among these genes, we found that N-myc and high mobility group AT-hook 2 (Hmga2) were highly expressed in the E11.5 but not the E14.5 ventricular zone of mouse brain, where NPCs reside. Transduction of N-myc and Hmga2 by retroviruses into E14.5 NPCs, which normally differentiate into astrocytes in response to LIF, resulted in suppression of astrocyte differentiation. However, sustained expression of N-myc and Hmga2 in E11.5 NPCs failed to maintain the hypermethylated status of an astrocyte-specific gene promoter. Taken together, our data suggest that astrocyte differentiation of NPCs is regulated not only by DNA methylation but also by genes whose expression is controlled spatio-temporally during brain development. Experiment Overall Design: Neuroepithelial cells(NPCs) were prepared from telencephalons of E11.5 and E14.5 mice and cultured in N2-supplemented Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium with F12 (GIBCO) containing 10 ng/ml basic FGF (R&D Systems) (N2/DMEM/F12/bFGF) on culture dishes (Nunc) or chamber slide (Nunc) which had been precoated with poly-L-ornithine (Sigma) and fibronectin (Sigma). E11.5 NPCs were cultured for one day and E14.5 NPCs were for four days.

Project description:Background: Studies suggested that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have intrinsic neurogenic potential and can be differentiated into neural stem cell/ neural progenitor cells (NPCs) under specific microenvironment. Manipulation of growth factors is one of the popular method to achieve trans-lineage differentiation of MSCs. Synergistic effect of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and fibroblast growth factor 2 (bFGF) have been widely identified as basic requirement for neural differentiation to take place. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) also known as somatomedin C is an important growth promoting protein during embryonic development which control numerous cellular responses and biological systems. Our recent study has found that the combination of EGF, bFGF and IGF-1 could significantly improved the growth and survivability of MSCs-derived NPCs. Therefore, to understand the genomic mechanism underlying the differentiation in vitro, we have studied the miRNAs profile of MSCs-derived NPCs under IGF-1 influenced conditioned microenvironments. Objectives: To evaluate the effects of IGF-1 in trans-lineage differentiation of MSCs, we have induced MSCs into neural lineage in 3 groups; Group A (positive control) - EGF+bFGF, Group B (Treatment) - EGF+bFGF+IGF-1, and Group C (negative control/ untreated). To unravel the role of regulatory miRNAs involved in the early differentiation, we have performed detailed miRNA profiling for MSCs-derived NPCs at three time intervals (day 1, day 3 and day 5). The data has explored crucial miRNAs involved in early differentiation of MSCs into NPCs. Stage specific MSCs-derived NPCs at Passage 1 were collected for total RNA extraction at three time-points (D1, D3 and D5) and hybridization on Affymetrix miRNA geneChip 2.0 arrays. Each experiment were repeated three times independently (Exp 1, Exp 2 and Exp 3). Group A served as positive control (EGF+bFGF), Group B as treatment (EGF+bFGF+IGF-1) and Group C without growth factor as negative control.

Project description:Neural precursor cells (NPCs) are multipotent cells that can generate neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes in the mammalian central nervous system. Although high mobility group nucleosomal binding domain 1 (HMGN1) was highly expressed in NPCs, its functions in neural development are not fully understood. We performed microarray analysis to examine changes in gene expression between control and HMGN1-overexpressed NPCs. NPCs derived from E11.5 mouse forebrains were infected with control or HMGN1 retrovirus in the presence of fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) and epidermal growth factor (EGF). Three days after infection, the virus-infected NPCs were dissociated and seeded on poly-D-lysine -coated dishes, and subsequently the cells were cultured for 1 day without FGF2 and EGF.

Project description:Background: Striatum is the crucial unit in brain involved in higher-level organizational learning, motor control and cognitive finctions. It also produces dopaminergic neurons, which play an important role in the control of multiple brain functions including voluntary movement and a span of neurobehavioral processes such as, mood, reward, addiction, and stress. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) lead to striatum related persistent cognitive dysfunctions. A number of cell based therapies such as; induced pluripotent stem cells (ips), neural stem cells (NSCs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), have been investigated so far for their potential application in TBI. But the journey from bench-to-bedside has not yet been covered sucessfully. As their survival and long-term maintenance in vivo has been huddle so far. So to understand the fate of embryonic striatal stem cells (ESSCs) in long-term neurogenesis in vitro, we have studied the neurogenic potential of rat embryonic striatal stem cells from E18th day embryos under conditioned microenvironments. Objectives: To evaluate the neuro-regenerative potential striatum-derived stem cells, we have employed synergestic effects of certain neurotrophins, such as ; EGF, IGF, FGF and LIF as in four combinations (Control/untreated-A, EGF+FGF-B, EGF+FGF+LIF-C, EGF+FGF+IGF-D and EGF+FGF+ IGF +LIF –E) in the microenvironment . To decipher the regulatory miRNAs involved in ESSC-derived neurogenesis, we have performed detailed miRNA profiling for ESSCs at passage 3 for groupD and group E derived ESSCs (based on their performance in vitro). Out data has explored cruicial mIRNAs involved in strital neurogenesis .

Project description:Humans exemplify gyrencephalic species with folded cerebral cortices, contrasting with lissencephalic mammals such as mice. Here we investigated how proneural genes Neurog2 and Ascl1 control cortical folding by regulating neurogenic patterns. Cortical neural progenitor cells (NPCs) stratify into four pools (proneural negative, Neurog2+, Ascl1+, double+) that are distributed evenly in mouse cortices and modular in gyrencephalic macaque cortices and pseudo-folded human cerebral organoids. Each pool has distinct developmental potentials, transcriptomes, epigenomes, and gene regulatory networks. Neurog2-Ascl1 form a bistable toggle switch double+ NPCs to prevent lineage commitment observed in single+ NPCs. Neurog2 and Ascl1 act redundantly to control neurogenic timing, with NPCs precociously depleted in Neurog2-/-;Ascl1-/- cortices. Finally, selective killing of Neurog2/Ascl1 double+ NPCs using Neurog2/Ascl1 split-Cre;Rosa-DTA transgenics breaks neurogenic symmetry in mice by locally disrupting Notch signaling, leading to cortical folding. Our findings suggest that Neurog2/Ascl1 double+ NPCs are Notch-ligand expressing ‘niche’ cells that regulate neurogenic continuity and cortical gyrification.

Project description:The culture of neural stem cells (NSCs) as floating neurospheres has become widely used as an experimental model to analyse the properties of NSCs. Although the neurosphere model has existed for two decades, there is still no standard protocol to grow NSCs in this way. Thus, we have analysed the consequences of the frequency of growth factor (FGF-2 and EGF) addition to embryonic and adult olfactory bulb stem cells (eOBSCs and aOBSCs) cultures, specifically in terms of proliferation, cell cycle progression, death and differentiation, as well as on global changes in gene expression and signaling pathways. We found that addition of FGF-2 and EGF every two or four days rather than daily significantly reduces the volume of the neurospheres and the total number of cells, changes that were more evident in aOBSC than in eOBSC cultures. The reduction in neurosphere size was mainly due to an increase in cell death and occurs without major changes in the cell cycle parameters tested. Moreover, partial deprivation of FGF-2 and EGF produces a mild increase in aOBSC differentiation during the proliferative phase. Remarkably, these effects were accompanied by a significant upregulation in the expression of genes involved in cell death regulation (Cryab), lipid catabolic processes (Pla2g7), cell adhesion (Dscaml1), cell differentiation (Dscaml1, Gpr17, S100b) and signal transduction (Gpr17, Ndrg2), among others. These findings support that continuous supply of FGF-2 and EGF is critical to maintain the viability/survival of NSCs in culture and reveals novel molecular hallmarks of NSC maintenance/survival and expansion in response to these growth factors. Total RNA was extracted from aOBSC cultures using the Trizol reagent (Invitrogen) and purified with Qiagen RNeasy Mini Kit separation columns (Qiagen). The RNA was sent to the Genomic Unit of CNB (Centro Nacional de Biotecnologia, Madrid, Spain). RNA integrity was corroborated by using Bioanalyzer. Then, cDNA was synthesized and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, http://www.affymetrix.com) which contain a total of 45101 transcripts to assess and compare the overall gene expression profiles. 9 samples were analyzed.
