Specific chromatin accessibility in subtypes of neocortical projection neurons over developmental time is correlated with cell class-specific gene expression

ABSTRACT: Excitatory projection neurons of the neocortex can be classified as occupying the upper layers, layers 2-4, or the deep layers, layers 5 and 6. It is still unclear which transcription factors are required to specify one cell fate versus another and which downstream targets confer specific aspects of neuronal identity over developmental time. To identify transcription factors that specific upper layer versus deep layer fate, we analyzed cell type specific gene expression and differential chromatin accessibility over three defined stages of development. We found that transcription factor expression can distinguish upper layers from deep layers, and cell type-specific transcription factor genes have differentially accessible chromatin in their regulatory domains, which tends to be correlated with gene expression.

Layer-specific molecular expression in neocortical astrocytes

Project description:Protoplasmic astrocytes in layers II to VI of the mammalian neocortex have historically been thought to comprise a homogeneous population. Given that layer-specific neuronal subtypes play essential roles in cortical circuitry, astrocytes might also be expected to support and modify this circuitry in a layer-specific manner. In order to investigate whether protoplasmic astrocytes exhibit layer-specific heterogeneity, we compared the gene expression profiles of astrocytes between upper layers (layers II to IV) and deep layers (layers V and VI). Although most genes known to be preferentially expressed in astrocytes (astrocyte-enriched genes) were equally expressed between upper-layer astrocytes and deep-layer astrocytes, some such genes (astrocyte-enriched genes or genes with known function in astrocytes) were significantly enriched in upper-layer astrocytes or deep-layer astrocytes.

Identification of the PRC1-interacting protein, L3mbtl3 as a novel gatekeeper of neocortical neurogenesis and proneural gene function

Project description:The neocortex is comprised of six neuronal layers that are derived in an inside-out sequence. Neurog2, a proneural gene encoding a basic-helix-loop-helix transcription factor, is required and sufficient to specify the fate of only early-born, deep-layer neurons, despite being expressed throughout the cortical neurogenic period. To identify potential inhibitors of Neurog2 function, we used a TAP-tagging screen, identifying L3mbtl3, a histone methyl-lysine binding protein that interacts with Rnf2 in Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1), as a novel Neurog2 interactor. We found that L3mbtl3 is co-expressed with Neurog2 and other PRC1 genes in cortical progenitors. In L3mbtl3 knock-out (KO) cortices, upper-layer neurons are generated in reduced numbers, and instead, the cortical progenitor pool is expanded. Transcriptomic analyses of L3mbtl3 KO cortices at early and mid neurogenesis revealed a striking upregulation of negative regulators of transcription, including Rest, a repressor of many neurogenic genes, and an associated downregulation of neuronal differentiation and maturation genes. Notably, transcriptomic changes occur in the absence of any changes to chromatin structure, suggesting that L3mbtl3 influences gene transcription directly and not via changes to the chromatin. Instead, L3mbtl3 represses Neurog2 transcriptional activity in vitro and blocks cortical progenitor cell maturation and neuronal migration in vivo by altering the expression of scaffold genes. L3mbtl3 is thus an essential negative regulator of cortical neurogenesis.

Assesment of DOT1L direct targets via RNAseq at E14.5 of mouse cortex

Project description:Cortical development is under control of transcriptional programs that are orchestrated by activation of key determinants such as transcription factors. But stable inheritance of temporo-spatial activity of factors influencing cell fate and regionalization in different layers is only partly understood. We report that chromatin methylation at H3K79 transmits cell fate and layering information from early to late progenitors. Activity of DOT1L, mediating H3K79 methylation, prevents premature cell cycle exit by increasing expression of genes regulating asymmetric cell division (Vangl2, Cenpj). Transcriptional programs characteristic for upper layer neurons are less active in Dot1l-deficient mice already at developmental stages that precede upper layer neuron generation. DOT1L activates expression of many key determinants such as Cux1, Cux2, Satb2 or Pou3f3. Additionally, DOT1L affects transcription of Sox family members, suggesting an evolutionary conserved mechanism. In part, DOT1L and H3K79me2 replace inactivating H3K9me3 at Sox family promoters and allow for transcriptional activation during neural differentiation.

Fezf2 overexpression in murine cortical progenitors in vivo

Project description:Corticospinal motor neurons (CSMN) are one specialized class of cortical excitatory neurons, which connect layer Vb of the cortex to the spinal cord. a master transcription factor –Forebrain expressed zinc finger 2 (Fezf2) – has been identified that is necessary for the fate specification of CSMN. Fezf2 alone can cell-autonomously instruct the acquisition of CSMN-specific features when expressed in diverse, permissive cellular contexts, in vivo. In order to understand the molecular logic underlying the acquisition of CSMN traits upon Fezf2 expression, we compared the in vivo gene expression of FACS-purified cortical progenitors that ectopically expressed Fezf2 to control progenitors. We used in utero electroporation to deliver Fezf2GFP or CtrlGFP expression vectors to neocortical progenitors at E14.5, when they primarily generate CPN of the upper layers. Overexpression of Fezf2 in these progenitors is sufficient to instruct a fate-switch resulting in the generation of CSMN and other subtypes of corticofugal projection neurons. Fezf2GFP- and CtrlGFP -electroporated progenitors were FACS-purified at 24 and 48 hours after surgery and acutely profiled by microarrays.
