Project description:Tlx expression is upregulated after stroke, and stroke-induced neurogenesis is blocked when Tlx is inactivated. Tlx overexpression in NSCs leads to massive induction of neurogenesis via stroke, which leads to an improved motor function recovery.

Project description:Analysis of the function of Tlx in regulating brain tumor stem cells (BTSCs) at the gene expression level. Based on our knowledge, we know that Tlx is specifically expressed in the neural stem cells in mouse brain. It also functionally regulates neurogenesis during the postnatal stages. The hypothesis tested in the present study is that Tlx influences the maintenance and progression of mouse brain gliomas through regulating the self-renewal of BTSCs and it is also a specific marker of brain tumor stem cells (BTSCs). Results provide important information about the function of Tlx in brain gliomas. Brain gliomas were initiated from the Nestin-CreERT2;Tlx flox/flox;Nestin-Tva transgenic mouse line. After 2.5 weeks, when the brain gliomas were fully developed, tamoxifen was administered through intraperitoneal injection. Tlx was knocked-out from the Cre-expressing littermates, but the littermates without Cre expression maintained intact Tlx function. Then, total RNA was obtained from mouse brain gliomas with severe neurological symptoms from the Tlx knockout and Tlx intact groups.

Project description:Tlx (nr2e1) is an orphan nuclear receptor that is highly expressed in proliferating neural stem cells (NSCs) in the adult mouse forebrain. The goal was to identify Tlx-regulated genes in this specific cell population. Two populations of Tlx-positive neural stem cells were isolated from 2-month-old male mice based on a LacZ marker that was knocked into the Tlx locus. The first population, Tlx(f/Z;CreER), contains a floxed allele of Tlx (f), the LacZ marker (Z), and a CreER fusion transgene. Addition of tamoxifen (4OH-tamoxifen) into this NSC population leads to Cre-mediated deletion of the floxed allele of Tlx. The second NSC population, Tlx(f/Z), does not contain a CreER transgene; thus it does not respond to tamoxifen treatment and was used as a control.

Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA samples from two biological replicates were collected at 36 hr or at 60 hr after tamoxifen or vehicle treatment. Total of 16 samples were used to analyze the global gene expression changes using Affymetrix chips.

Project description:Postnatal brain neurogenesis in mammals is believed to be restricted to rare germinative remnants of the neuroepithelium. In this study, we discovered that, in the postnatal brain, a subset of embryonically derived progenitors is present in meningeal substructures. These cells migrate from the meningeal substructures to the retrosplenial and visual motor cortex and differentiate into (electrically) functional integrated neurons. Lineage tracing analysis revealed that this subset of neural progenitors originate largely from PDGFR+ cells. PDGFR-derived cells differentiate mostly into Satb2+ neurons in cortical layers I-IV. Thus, a reservoir of embryonically derived progenitors in the meninges contributes to postnatal cerebral cortical neurogenesis.

Project description:Neural stem cells, located in discrete niches in the adult brain, generate new neurons throughout life. These stem cells are specialized astrocytes, but astrocytes in other brain regions (parenchymal astrocytes) do not generate neurons under physiological conditions. After stroke, however, astrocytes in the mouse striatum undergo neurogenesis, triggered by decreased Notch signaling. Notch signaling can be experimentally depleted in mice by deleting the Notch-mediating transcription factor Rbpj. This dataset consists of single-cell RNA sequencing data of astrocytes isolated from the striatum (where astrocytes undergo neurogenesis in response to Rbpj deletion) or somatosensory cortex (where astrocytes don't complete neurogenesis in response to Rbpj deletion) of 4 mice. Cells were isolated from Cx30-CreER; R26-tdTomato; Rbpj(fl/fl) mice at three time points after tamoxifen-induced Rbpj deletion (2, 4, 8 weeks), and from Cx30-CreER; R26-tdTomato mice with intact Rbpj 3 days after tamoxifen. These time points span the transition from astrocyte through transit-amplifying cells to neuroblasts. The dataset contains 1) astrocytes from the striatum that initiate a neurogenic transcriptional program in response to Rbpj deletion and generate transit-amplifying cells and neuroblasts, and 2) astrocytes from the somatosensory cortex that initiate a neurogenic program in response to Rbpj deletion but fail to generate transit-amplifying cells or neuroblasts.

Project description:The epigenetic mechanisms that enable specialized astrocytes to retain neurogenic competence throughout adult life are still poorly understood. Here we show that astrocytes that serve as neural stem cells (NSCs) in the adult mouse subventricular zone (SVZ) express the histone methyltransferase EZH2. This Polycomb repressive factor is required for neurogenesis independent of its role in SVZ NSC proliferation, as Ink4a/Arf-deficiency in Ezh2-deleted SVZ NSCs rescues cell proliferation, but neurogenesis remains defective. Olig2 is a direct target of EZH2, and repression of this bHLH transcription factor is critical for neuronal differentiation. Furthermore, Ezh2 prevents the inappropriate activation of genes that specify non-SVZ neuronal subtypes. In the human brain, SVZ cells including local astroglia also express EZH2, correlating with postnatal neurogenesis. Thus, EZH2 is an epigenetic regulator that distinguishes neurogenic SVZ astrocytes, orchestrating distinct and separable aspects of adult stem cell biology, which has important implications for regenerative medicine and oncogenesis.

Project description:To determine gene expression profiles of neurogenesis, neural stem cell and notch signaling elements in the adult subventricular zone (SVZ) of the WT and CNP-hEGFR mouse, we used SuperArray limited gene array analysis. GEArrayTM expression array systems (cat#OMM404 SuperArray, Bethesda, MD) consisted of spotted cDNA fragments encoding 288 mouse genes related to neurogenesis and neural stem cell differentiation, as well as notch signaling elements. Control sequences (PUC18, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), peptidylpropyl isomerase A (Ppia), and β-actin) were also included. These microarrays were employed to compare SVZ gene expression between WT and CNP-hEGFR mouse SVZ. Total RNA was isolated by Trizol (Invitrogen) and processed for microarray hybridization following the manufacturer’s instructions. Arrays were visualized by autoradiography, and hybridization signals were scanned and analyzed for density in GEArray Expression Analysis Suite 2.0. The normalized value for each gene was calculated by dividing the value of each gene by the average value of the housekeeping genes GAPDH, Ppia, and β-actin. To obtain a gene profile, analysis was performed on three separate RNA samples isolated from different SVZs, with replicate assays conducted on each RNA preparation.

Project description:Relative H3K27me3 enrichment, assessed by ChIP-on-chip, in two TLX positive and two TLX negative T Acute Lymphoblastique Leukemia (T-ALL) samples. Acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALLs) are characterized by multi-step oncogenic processes leading to cell differentiation arrest and proliferation. Specific abrogation of maturation blockage constitutes a promising therapeutic option in cancer, which requires precise understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms. We show that the cortical thymic maturation arrest in T-lineage ALL that over-express TLX1 or TLX3 is due to binding of TLX1/TLX3 to ETS1, leading to repression of the T cell receptor (TCR) alpha enhanceosome activity and blocked TCR-Jalpha rearrangement. TLX1/TLX3 abrogation or enforced TCRalpha/beta expression leads to TCRalpha rearrangement and apoptosis. Importantly, the auto-extinction of clones carrying TCRalpha-driven TLX1 expression supports TLX 'addiction' in TLX-positive leukemias and provides further rationale for targeted therapy based on disruption of TLX1/TLX3.
