RNA-binding protein quaking (Qk) promotes switching from neurogenesis to gliogenesis of neural stem cells during brain development [Dif_NSCs]

ABSTRACT: During mammalian brain development, neural stem cells (NSCs) initially produce only neurons and subsequently shift to glial production, while it is still unknown what regulates this drastic fate change. Here we discovered RNA-binding protein (RBP) of quaking (Qk) is selectively expressed in NSCs and is essential for switching from neurogenesis to gliogenesis. Using CNS-specific KO mice for Qk, we found that gliogenesis, but not neurogenesis, was specifically disrupted in Qk-/- brains. In glial differentiating condition, Qk-/- NSCs failed to enter gliogenesis but caused ectopic neurogenic gene expression. Pathway analysis of Qk-/- NSCs identified endocytosis as the regulatory functional cluster of Qk which has been shown to facilitate extra-cellular signaling receptors replacement and promote NSC differentiation. Mechanistically, Qk regulates endocytosis pathway genes through stabilizing their mRNAs via Qk binding sequences in 3’UTR. These results uncovered the cell fate determination mechanism of NSCs through mRNA regulation.

A conserved molecular logic for neurogenesis to gliogenesis switch in the cerebral cortex [ChIP-seq]

Project description:During development neural stem cells (NSCs) in the cerebral cortex, also known as radial glial cells (RGCs), generate excitatory neurons, followed by production of cortical macroglia and inhibitory neurons that migrate to the olfactory bulb (OB). Understanding the mechanisms for this lineage switch is fundamental for unraveling how proper numbers of diverse neuronal and glial cell types are controlled. We and others recently showed that Shh signaling promotes cortical RGCs to switch lineage to generate cortical oligodendrocytes and OB interneurons. During this lineage switch, cortical RGCs generate intermediate progenitor cells (IPCs) that express Ascl1, Egfr and Olig2, genes critically regulating gliogenesis. The timing of increased Ascl1 expression and the appearance of Egfr+ and Olig2+ cortical progenitors is concurrent with the switch from excitatory neurogenesis to gliogenesis and OB interneuron neurogenesis in the cortex. While Shh signaling promotes Olig2 expression in the developing spinal cord, the exact mechanism for this transcriptional regulation is not known. Further, the transcriptional regulation of Olig2 and Egfr has not been explored. Here we show that in cortical progenitor cells, multiple genetic programs, including Pax6 and Gli3, prevent precocious expression of Olig2, a gene essential for production of cortical oligodendrocytes and astrocytes. We identify multiple distal enhancers that control Olig2 expression in cortical progenitors and show that the mechanisms for regulating Olig2 expression are conserved between mouse and human. Our study reveals evolutionarily conserved regulatory logic controlling the lineage switch of cortical neural stem cells.

NOTCH, ERK and SHH signaling respectively control the fate determination of cortical astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and olfactory bulb interneurons

Project description:During cortical development, radial glial cells, known as neural stem cells, initially generate a large number of cortical glutamatergic pyramidal neurons through a process called neurogenesis. This is followed by the generation of a diversity of cortical astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and olfactory bulb interneurons, known as gliogenesis. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the switch from cortical neurogenesis to gliogenesis, and the subsequent fate determination of cortical astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and olfactory bulb interneurons, remain unclear. Here, we report that extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling plays a fundamental role in promoting cortical gliogenesis and the generation of cortical glial progenitors. Additionally, SHH-SMO-GLI activator signaling has an auxiliary function to ERK during these processes. We further demonstrate that NOTCH signaling is absolutely required for the fate determination of astrocytes, while ERK signaling plays a prominent role in oligodendrocyte fate specification, and SHH signaling is crucial for the fate determination of olfactory bulb interneurons from cortical progenitors. We provide evidence suggesting that this mechanism is conserved in both mice and humans. Finally, we propose a unifying principle of mammalian cortical gliogenesis.
