Insm1 induces neural progenitor delamination in developing neocortex via down-regulation of the adherens junction belt-specific protein Plekha7

ABSTRACT: Delamination of neural progenitor cells (NPCs) from the ventricular surface is a crucial prerequisite to form the subventricular zone, the germinal layer linked to the expansion of the mammalian neocortex in development and evolution. Here, we dissect the molecular mechanism by which the transcription factor Insm1 promotes the generation of basal progenitors (BPs). Insm1 protein is most highly expressed in newborn BPs in mouse and human developing neocortex. Forced Insm1 expression in embryonic mouse neocortex causes NPC delamination, converting apical to basal radial glia. Insm1 represses the expression of the apical adherens junction belt-specific protein Plekha7. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated disruption of Plekha7 expression suffices to cause NPC delamination. Plekha7 overexpression impedes the intrinsic, and counteracts the Insm1-induced, NPC delamination. Our findings uncover a novel molecular mechanism underlying NPC delamination in which a BP-genic transcription factor specifically targets the integrity of the apical adherens junction belt, rather than adherens junction components as such.

RNA regulation by the cell-cell adhesion component PLEKHA7

Project description:We have identified PLEKHA7 as a cell-cell adhesion protein that interacts with and regulates RNAi compelxes, miRNAs and mRNAs at adherens junctions of well-differentiated epithelial cells. This study was conducted to identify global effects of PLEKHA7 depletion on total RNA expression in colon epithelial cells

siRNA profiling of human HepG2 cells with jam-A Knockdown

Project description:Hepatocytes are polarized epithelial cells whose function depends upon their ability to distinguish between the apical and basolateral surfaces that are located at intercellular tight junctions. It has been proposed that the signaling cascades that originate at these junctions influence cellular activity by controlling gene expression in the cell nucleus. To assess the validity of this proposal with regard to hepatocytes, we depleted expression of the tight junction protein junctional adhesion molecule-A (JAM-A) in the HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line. Reduction of JAM-A resulted in a striking change in cell morphology, with cells forming single-layered sheets instead of the normal multi-layered clusters. In the absence of JAM-A, other tight junction proteins were mislocalized, and canaliculi, which form the apical face of the hepatocyte, were consequently absent. While most changes in gene expression were modest, there was a strong transcriptional induction of the adherens junction protein E-cadherin in cells with reduced levels of JAM-A. This increase in E-cadherin was partially responsible for the observed alterations in cell morphology and mislocalization of tight junction proteins. We therefore propose that we have uncovered a novel mechanism for crosstalk between specific components of tight and adherens junctions that can be utilized to regulate adhesion between hepatic cells and to maintain hepatocyte cell polarity. Experiment Overall Design: HepG2 cells were transduced with lentiviruses and stably selected using puromycin. Comparison of four controls and five JAM-A knockdown samples.

p53 drives premature neuronal differentiation in response to acute DNA damage during early neurogenesis

Project description:Purpose: The transcription factor p53 classically regulates the cellular response to DNA damage. Inappropriate activation of p53 during embryonic development can lead to a range of developmental defects such as microcephaly. Here, we studied the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying microcephaly induced by acute irradiation of mouse fetuses at the onset of neurogenesis. This leads to transient DNA damage followed by apoptosis and premature neuronal differentiation, both of which are p53-dependent as they are reduced in dorsal forebrain-specific Trp53 knockout mice. A functional genomics screen shows that radiation induces the p53-dependent activation of both apoptosis- and differentiation-associated genes. Irradiation furthermore induces an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition-like process characterized by a reduction of epithelial markers and a disruption of the apical adherens junction belt. Altogether, we have identified a novel function of p53 as an activator of neuronal differentiation in response to acute embryonic DNA damage further demonstrating its importance as a regulator of cell fate. Methods: Pregnant mouse dams were (sham-)irradiated at gestational day 11 after which they were sacrificed for dissection of fetuses after 2 h, 6 h and 12 h. Cerebral cortices were removed for transcriptomic analysis via RNA-seq.

Transcription profiling of mouse osteoblast cell from wild-type and retinoblastoma tumor suppressor(Rb) knock-out.

Project description:Here we report the characterization of a novel role for the retinoblastoma protein (pRb) as a regulator of osteoblast adhesion. Abrogation of pRb in osteoblasts resulted in aberrant cadherin expression and loss of adherens junctions. This produced defects suggestive of a transformed phenotype such as impaired cell-to-cell adhesion, loss of contact-dependent growth arrest, and the capacity to evade anoikis. This also resulted in profound abnormalities in bone structure. Consistent with this, microarray analyses showed that pRb regulates a wide repertoire of osteoblast cell adhesion genes. In addition, pRb loss also resulted in altered expression and function of several known regulators of cellular adhesion and adherens junction assembly, such as the Rho GTPase Rac1 and the merlin tumor suppressor. Taken together, our results show that pRb controls cell adhesion by regulating the expression and adherens junction components and by regulating the function of molecules involved in adherens junction assembly and stability. Microarray results helped us to portrait the overall influence on cell adhesion via both individual genes and pathway analysis. Experiment Overall Design: MC3T3 cells were obtained from immortalizing primary cultured mouse osteoblast cells by using 3T3 protocol. There are 3 biological replicates for each group, 6 samples in total were analyzed.

Membrane prewetting by condensates promotes tight junction belt formation

Project description:Time-resolve proximity proteomics of tight junction. To understand how the tight junction belt is assembled and positioned, we combined APEX2 proximity proteomics of the main junctional scaffold protein ZO-1 with a calcium switch tissue formation assay.This combination allowed us to synchronize the initiation of junction assembly in the entire tissue by the addition of calcium to the culture medium and quantify the time evolution of the junctional proteome during the assembly process using proximity proteomics.

The role of Insulinoma associated 1 protein in the development of the mammalian neocortex

Project description:Basal (intermediate) progenitors are the major source of neurons in the mammalian cerebral cortex. The molecular machinery governing basal progenitor biogenesis is unknown. Here we show that the zinc finger transcription factor Insm1 (insulinoma-associated 1) is expressed specifically in progenitors undergoing neurogenic divisions and has a key role in basal progenitor formation. Mouse embryos lacking Insm1 contained half the number of basal progenitors and showed a marked reduction in cortical plate radial thickness. Forced premature expression of Insm1 in neuroepithelial cells resulted in their mitosis occurring at the basal (rather than apical) side of the ventricular zone and induced expression of the basal progenitor marker Tbr2. Remarkably, these cells remained negative for Tis21, a marker of neurogenic progenitors, and did not generate neurons but underwent self-amplification. Our data imply that Insm1 is involved in the generation and expansion of basal progenitors, a hallmark of cerebral cortex evolution. Keywords: knock out, genetic modification,
