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

ABSTRACT: 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.

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.

Tbr2 and Neurog2 transcription factor binding sites in E14.5 WT cerebral cortices

Project description:To date, speculations on the molecular roles of Tbr2 transcription factor during specification, maintenance and differentiation of cortical specific Intermediate Neural Progenitors are coming from the analysis of loss- and gain-of-function experiments. However since its capacity to bind the DNA to extert its function we did Chromatin Immuno-Precipitation followed by deep sequencing to profile its target on the genome. We performed this approach directly in vivo to respect the physiological and peculiar enviroment of its action during cortical development. Moreover we did the same approach for Neurogenin 2 proneural gene. Interestingly the vast majority of the Neurog2 peaks are in common with Tbr2 dataset suggesting a co-operation between the two factors confirmed by biochemical and functional assays. Finally we compared Tbr2 dataset with the DNA regions bound by the H3K27me3 histone demethylase Jmjd3 (NCBI:Kdm6b) obtained by others. Interestingly we were able to find regions in common linked to important genes for neuronal differentiation. 3 samples, one input chromatin, one ChIP for Tbr2 and one ChIP for Neurog2

Gene expression in basal progenitors in the cerebral cortex of Tbr2 conditional knockout mice

Project description:During cortical development neurons are generated from basal progenitors (BPs) which specifically express the transcription factor Tbr2. We used fluorescent-activated cell sorting (FACS) to isolate BPs from Tbr2-conditional knockout mice brain at early (E13) and late (E16) stages of cortical neurogenesis and determined mRNA expression profiles using microarray (Illumina MouseWG-6 v2). Role of transcription factor Tbr2 in basal progenitors during corticogenesis.

Analysis of TBR1 downnstream target genes in embryonic forebrains

Project description:TBR1 is a forebrain specific T-box transcription factor. Tbr1-/- mice have been characterized by defective axonal projections from cerebral cortex and abnormal neuronal migration of cerebral cortex and amygdala. To investigate how TBR1 regulates neural development, the gene expression profile of Tbr1-/- brains was compared with WT littermates. Total RNAs purified from forebrains at embryonic day 16.5 were hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays
