Single-Cell Transcriptomics and Fate Mapping of Ependymal Cells Reveals an Absence of Neural Stem Cell Function

ABSTRACT: Ependymal cells are multi-ciliated cells that form the brain’s ventricular epithelium and a niche for neural stem cells (NSCs) in the ventricular-subventricular zone (V-SVZ). In addition, ependymal cells are suggested to be latent NSCs with a capacity to acquire neurogenic function. This remains highly controversial due to a lack of prospective in vivo labeling techniques that can effectively distinguish ependymal cells from neighboring V-SVZ NSCs. We describe a transgenic system that allows for targeted labeling of ependymal cells within the V-SVZ. Single-cell RNA-seq revealed that ependymal cells are enriched for cilia-related genes and share several stem-cell-associated genes with neural stem or progenitors. Under in vivo and in vitro neural-stem- or progenitor-stimulating environments, ependymal cells failed to demonstrate any suggestion of latent neural-stem-cell function. These findings suggest remarkable stability of ependymal cell function and provide fundamental insights into the molecular signature of the V-SVZ niche.

Genome-wide Binding sites of TFEB during in vitro RGC to EPC differentiation (ChIP-seq)

Project description:The largest germinal niche of the adult mammal brain locates at the ventricular zone (VZ), which is made up of adult neural stem cells (NSCs) and multiciliated ependymal cells (EPCs). Both NSCs and EPCs derive from radial glia (RG), whereas the transcriptomic dynamic changes of the cell fate continuum remain elusive. Here, we used TFEB ChIP-seq to investigate its role in during EPC differentiation.

Single-cell trajectory analysis of the differentiation of RGCs in the VZ (scRNA-seq)

Project description:The largest germinal niche of the adult mammal brain locates at the ventricular zone (VZ), which is made up of adult neural stem cells (NSCs) and multiciliated ependymal cells (EPCs). Both NSCs and EPCs derive from radial glia (RG), whereas the transcriptomic dynamic changes of the cell fate continuum remain elusive. Here, we used single cell RNA-seq of CD133 positive RGCs from the VZ of new born mice to uncover the developmental trajectories of RGCs to NSCs and EPCs.

Identification of TFEB regulated genes during in vitro RGC to EPC differentiation (RNA-seq)

Project description:The largest germinal niche of the adult mammal brain locates at the ventricular zone (VZ), which is made up of adult neural stem cells (NSCs) and multiciliated ependymal cells (EPCs). Both NSCs and EPCs derive from radial glia (RG), whereas the transcriptomic dynamic changes of the cell fate continuum remain elusive. Here, we identified a key transcription factor TFEB that is important during EPC differentiation. We knockdown TFEB using siRNA and check gene expression changes upon TFEB depletion by RNA-seq.

Ependyma-expressed CCN1 restricts the size of the neural stem cell pool in the adult ventricular-subventricular zone

Project description:Adult neural stem cells (NSCs) reside in specialized niches, which hold a balanced number of NSCs, their progeny, and other cells. How niche capacity is regulated to contain a specific number of NSCs remains unclear. Here, we show that ependyma-derived matricellular protein CCN1 (cellular communication network factor 1) negatively regulates niche capacity and NSC number in the adult ventricular-subventricular zone (V-SVZ). Adult ependyma-specific deletion of Ccn1 transiently enhanced NSC proliferation and reduced neuronal differentiation in mice, increasing the numbers of NSCs and NSC units. Although proliferation of NSCs and neurogenesis seen in Ccn1 knockout mice eventually returned to normal, the expanded NSC pool was maintained in the V-SVZ until old age. Inhibition of EGFR signaling prevented expansion of the NSC population observed in CCN1 deficient mice. Thus, ependyma-derived CCN1 restricts NSC expansion in the adult brain to maintain the proper niche capacity of the V-SVZ.

RNA-sequencing gene expression data from FACS-purified Ventricular-Subventricular Zone (V-SVZ) and cortical cells from hGFAP::GFP mice.

Project description:Quiescent neural stem cells (NSCs) in the adult ventricular-subventricular zone (V-SVZ) undergo activation and divide to generate neurons and glia. Here we show that Platelet-derived Growth Factor Receptor beta (PDGFRβ) is expressed by quiescent and early activated adult V-SVZ NSCs, and maintains their quiescence. We further showed that selective deletion of PDGFRβ in adult V-SVZ NSCs leads to activation of quiescent NSCs. We performed RNA-seq on FACS-sorted V-SVZ quiescent, early activated and late activated NSCs, as well as cortical cells from adult 2-4 month old mice.

Gene expression profiling of neural stem cells and their neuronal progeny reveals IGF2 as a regulator of adult hippocampal neurogenesis

Project description:Neural stem cells (NSCs) generate new neurons throughout life in two distinct areas of the mammalian brain: the subventricular zone (SVZ) lining the lateral ventricles and the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG). How gene expression signatures differ among NSCs and immature neurons within and between these adult neurogenic regions is unknown. We isolated NSCs and their progeny using transgenic mice expressing GFP under the control of the Sox2 promoter (labeling NSCs) and transgenic mice expressing DsRed under the control of the doublecortin (Dcx) promoter (labeling immature neurons). Comparison of the transcriptomes of SOX2+ cells derived from both neurogenic areas revealed that NSCs are highly similar but that functionally significant differences in gene expression exist: IGF2, which is expressed only in SOX2+ cells in the DG but not in the SVZ, is required for proliferation of DG-derived but not SVZ-derived NSCs. Gene expression profiles strongly diverged in immature neurons, and we provide evidence that ephrinB3, which was up-regulated only in the DG but not in the SVZ during neuronal differentiation, regulates the survival of newborn granule cells. Thus, the data provided here show that stem cell populations in the adult DG and SVZ are similar but have unique properties that manifest themselves later during neural differentiation, resulting in distinct neuronal populations Hippocampi and SVZ from 6 week old DCX-DsRed and Sox2-GFP Reporter mice were dissected and cell sorted using FACS. cDNA were generated and analysed using Agilent Platform.
