The transcription factor AP2γ regulates the number of basal progenitors

ABSTRACT: Understanding the mechanisms that specify neuronal subtypes is important to unravel the complex mechanisms of neuronal circuit assembly. Here we have identified a novel role for the transcription factor AP2γ in progenitor and neuronal subtype specification in the cerebral cortex. Conditional deletion of AP2γ causes misspecification of basal progenitors starting at mid-neurogenesis and gain-of-function experiments show that AP2γ directly regulates the expression of several genes characteristic for basal progenitors, such as Math3 and Tbr2. The misspecification of basal progenitors upon loss of AP2γ resulted in their increased death and the ultimate reduction of callosal layer II/III projection neurons. This had pronounced effects on visual performance with a strong reduction of visual acuity. Thus, we have identified a novel regulator of basal progenitor fate regulating the number of layer II/III neurons in an area-specific manner and revealing their importance for accurate function of the visual cortex.

Transcription profiling of mouse cortex (rostral and caudal) of AP2gamma knockouts and control mic revels transcription factor AP2I? regulates the number of basal progenitors

Project description:Understanding the mechanisms that specify neuronal subtypes is important to unravel the complex mechanisms of neuronal circuit assembly. Here we have identified a novel role for the transcription factor AP2Î³ in progenitor and neuronal subtype specification in the cerebral cortex. Conditional deletion of AP2Î³ causes misspecification of basal progenitors starting at; mid-neurogenesis and gain-of-function experiments show that AP2Î³ directly regulates the expression of several genes characteristic for basal progenitors, such as Math3 and Tbr2. The misspecification of basal progenitors upon loss of AP2Î³ resulted in their increased death and; the ultimate reduction of callosal layer II/III projection neurons.

Thus, we have identified a novel regulator of basal progenitor fate regulating the number of layer II/III neurons in an area-specific manner and revealing their importance for accurate function of the visual cortex. Experiment Overall Design: We analysed 12 samples from the cortex (rostral and caudal) of AP2gamma k.o. mice and control mice. For each of the 4 groups (caudal ko, caudal wt, rostral ko, rostral wt) three biological replicates were analysed.

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,

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.

Transcription profiling of human neurons from different brain regions derived from individuals with mild cognitive impairment

Project description:Layer II stellate neurons (entorhinal cortex) and layer III cortical neurons (hippocampus CA1, middle temporal gyrus, posterior cingulate, superior frontal gyrus, primary visual cortex) were gene expression profiled. Brain regions are from individuals who had been diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment. Experiment Overall Design: ~500 neurons were selected from each of 6 brain regions. Total RNA was isolated from each batch of neurons, double round amplified, and hybridized to Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 arrays.

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

Project description: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.

Study of miRNAs function in basal progenitors during cortical neurogenesis

Project description:During cortical development neurons are generated sequentially from basal progenitors (BPs) which specifically express the transcription factor Tbr2. We used fluorescent-activaed cell sorting (FACS) to isolate BPs from Tbr2GFP knockin reporter mice (Arnold SJ et al. Genesis, 2009) at early (embryonic day, E13) and late (embryonic day, E16) stages of cortical neurogenesis and determined miRNA expression profiles using mouse miRNA microarray (Agilent).Comparison of E13 and E16 microRNA expression profiles allowed us to identify regulatory mechanisms for maintaining stage specific homeostasis of BPs. FACS isolated BPs at E13 and E16 mouse brain cortex were used for miRNA microarray analyses. Four biological replicates (embryonic cortex from three different litters) for each group (E13 or E16) were analysed.

bacTRAP profiling of seven different types of neurons , vulnerable and resistant to Alzheimer's disease (AD) across the lifetime of the mouse

Project description:We report here the bacTRAP (bacterial artificial chromosome , translating ribosome affinity purification) profiling of 7 different types of neurons in the mouse, at three different ages: two neuron types very vulnerable to AD (principal cells of entorhinal cortex layer II - ECII), pyramidal cells of hippocampus CA1, and 5 types of neurons more resistant to AD (pyramidal cells of hippocampus CA2 and CA3, granule neurons of the dentate gyrus, pyramidal cells from layer IV of primary visual cortex V1, and pyramidal cells from layer II/III and V of primary somatosensory cortex S1). Using these profiles we generated molecular signatures for each of these cell types, proved that the molecular identity of these cell types is very well conserved across mouse and humans, and constructed functional networks for each cell type that allowed us to identify genes and pathways associated with selective neuronal vulnerability in AD. We also report the profiling of ECII neurons in APP/PS1 mice (a mouse model of Abeta accumulation) at 6 months of age.
