Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of mouse neocortical development

ABSTRACT: The development of the mammalian cerebral cortex depends on careful orchestration of proliferation, maturation, and migration events, ultimately giving rise to a wide variety of neuronal and non-neuronal cell types. To better understand cellular and molecular processes that unfold during late corticogenesis, we perform single-cell RNA-seq on the mouse cerebral cortex at a progenitor driven phase (embryonic day 14.5) and at birth—after neurons from all six cortical layers are born. We identify numerous classes of neurons, progenitors, and glia, their proliferative, migratory, and activation states, and their relatedness within and across age. Using the cell-type-specific expression patterns of genes mutated in neurological and psychiatric diseases, we identify putative disease subtypes that associate with clinical phenotypes. Our study reveals the cellular template of a complex neurodevelopmental process, and provides a window into the cellular origins of brain diseases.

Embryonic cortical extract mass spectrometry to identify EML1 interactors

Project description:The cerebral cortex is a highly organized structure whose development depends on different progenitor cell types. These give rise to post-mitotic neurons that migrate across the developing cortical wall to their final positions in the cortical plate. Apical radial glia cells (aRGs) are the main progenitor type in early corticogenesis, responsible for the production of other progenitors, and regulating the final neuronal output. Abnormal behavior of aRG can severely impact corticogenesis resulting in cortical malformations. Mutations in the microtubule associated protein Eml1 lead to severe subcortical heterotopia, characterized by the presence of aberrantly located neurons beneath the normotopic cortex. Mutations in EML1/Eml1 have been reported in three families presenting severe atypical heterotopia, as well as in the Heterotopic cortex ‘HeCo’ spontaneous mouse mutant. In the latter, ectopically cycling aRGs were found cycling outside their normal proliferative ventricular zone (VZ) from early stages of corticogenesis (Croquelois et al., 2009, Kielar et al., 2014, Shaheen et al., 2017). Ectopic aRGs are likely to be responsible for the formation of the heterotopia. It is thus crucial to understand the role of Eml1 in aRGs to elucidate the physiological and pathological mechanisms causing aRGs to leave the VZ. The role of Eml1 in aRGs remains vastly unexplored. We have thus performed mass spectrometry with embryonic cortex lysates (E13.5) to shed light on the intracellular pathways and molecular mechanisms in which Eml1 could be involved. This data combined with other cell biology and biochemistry approaches will contribute to understand the role of this heterotopia protein at early stages of development.

Transcriptome and proteome analysis of human brain organoids

Project description:During development of the human cerebral cortex, multipotent neural progenitors generate excitatory neurons and glial cells. Investigations of the transcriptome and epigenome have revealed important gene regulatory networks underlying this crucial developmental event. However, the post-transcriptional control of gene expression and protein abundance during human corticogenesis remains poorly understood. We addressed this issue by using a dual reporter cell line to isolate neural progenitors and neurons from the telencephalic brain organoid tissue and performed cell type and developmental stage-specific transcriptome and proteome analysis. Integrating the two datasets revealed temporal modules of gene expression during human corticogenesis, both at RNA and protein level. Our multiomics approach reveals novel posttranscriptional regulatory mechanisms crucial for fidelity of cortical development.

Profiling of spatio-temporally regulated transcripts during cerebral corticogenesis in the mouse

Project description:The cerebral cortex plays an important role in cognitive function and specialized perception in mammals and its development requires highly specific spatio-temporal control of gene expression. The study identified stage- and region-specific markers throughout cerebral corticogenesis at various important stages of cerebral cortex development; embryonic day (E) 15.5, E17.5, postnatal day (P) 1.5 and 4-6 months old. The study involved the analysis of 12 SAGE libraries, which were generated from the mouse cerebral cortex of E15.5 (n=3), E17.5 (n=2), P1.5 (n=1) and 4-6 month old (n=6). N denotes biological replicates.

Early emergence of cortical interneuron diversity in the mouse embryo

Project description:GABAergic interneurons play crucial roles in the regulation of neural circuit activity in the cerebral cortex. A hallmark of cortical interneurons is their remarkable structural and functional diversity, yet the molecular determinants and the precise timing underlying their diversification remain largely unknown. Here we use single-cell transcriptomics to identify distinct types of progenitor cells and newborn neurons in the ganglionic eminences, the embryonic proliferative regions that give rise to cortical interneurons. These embryonic precursors define temporally and spatially restricted transcriptional trajectories that unambiguously relate to specific classes of interneurons in the adult cerebral cortex. Our findings therefore suggest that interneuron diversity is already patent shortly after neurons become postmitotic through the acquisition of specific transcriptional programs that unfold over several weeks in the developing cortex

Variation in activity state, axonal projection, and position define the transcriptional identity of individual neocortical projection neurons.

Project description:Single-cell RNA sequencing has generated the first catalogs of transcriptionally defined neuronal subtypes of the brain. However, the cellular processes that contribute to neuronal subtype specification and transcriptional heterogeneity remain unclear. By comparing the gene expression profiles of a subset of single layer 6 corticothalamic neurons in somatosensory cortex, we show that transcriptional subtypes primarily reflect axonal projection pattern, laminar position within the cortex, and neuronal activity state. Pseudotemporal ordering of 1023 cellular responses to sensory manipulation demonstrates that changes in expression of activity-induced genes both reinforced cell-type identity and contributed to increased transcriptional heterogeneity within each cell type. This is due to cell-type biased choices of transcriptional states following manipulation of neuronal activity. These results reveal that axonal projection pattern, laminar position, and activity state define significant axes of variation that contribute both to the transcriptional identity of individual neurons and to the transcriptional heterogeneity within each neuronal subtype.

Sip1 regulates sequential fate decisions through feedback signalling from postmitotic neurons to progenitor cells.

Project description:In the developing cerebral cortex different types of neurons and glial cells are born through a precisely controlled sequence of events. The fate of cortical progenitors, in turn, is determined by an elusive conundrum of temporally and spatially regulated signalling mechanisms. We found the DNA-binding transcription factor Sip1 (also known as Zfhx1b) to be produced at high levels in postmitotic neurons of the cerebral cortex. Conditional deletion of Sip1 in young neocortical neurons was found to induce premature and increased production of upper layer neurons at the expense of deep layer neurons. Furthermore, it caused precocious and increased generation of glial precursors during late corticogenesis, leading subsequently to enhanced astrocytogenesis at early postnatal stages. Expression profiling analysis indicated that the temporal shift in upper layer production coincides with overexpression of the neurotrophin-3 (NT3) gene and altered growth factor signalling in progenitors, while the premature gliogenesis is preceded by upregulation of fibroblast growth factor-9 (Fgf9) gene expression. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and in situ hybridization validates NT3 as a direct target of Sip1 in the cortex and confines the transcriptional repression by Sip1 to postmitotic neurons. Moreover, we show that exogenous application of Fgf9 in solution or via coated beads to wild-type cortical slices induces premature and excessive generation of glial precursors in the germinal zone. In conclusion, our data suggest that throughout corticogenesis Sip1 acts to restrain the level of production of secreted signalling factors in postmitotic neurons. These factors feed back to progenitor cells in order to regulate the timing of cell fate switch and the numbers of neurons and glial cells produced in the developing cerebral cortex.

Neuroserpin Is Strongly Expressed in the Developing and Adult Mouse Neocortex but Its Absence Does Not Perturb Cortical Lamination and Synaptic Proteome

Project description:Neuroserpin is a serine protease inhibitor that regulates the activity of tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) in the nervous system. Neuroserpin is strongly expressed during nervous system development as well as during adulthood, when it is predominantly found in regions eliciting synaptic plasticity. In the hippocampus, neuroserpin regulates developmental neurogenesis, synaptic maturation and in adult mice it modulates synaptic plasticity and controls cognitive and social behavior. High expression levels of neuroserpin in the cerebral cortex starting from prenatal stage and persisting during adulthood suggest an important role for the serpin in the formation of this brain region and in the maintenance of cortical functions. In order to uncover neuroserpin function in the cerebral cortex, in this work we performed a comprehensive investigation of its expression pattern during development and in the adulthood. Moreover, we assessed the role of neuroserpin in cortex formation by comparing cortical lamination and neuronal maturation between neuroserpin-deficient and control mice. Finally, we evaluated a possible regulatory role of neuroserpin at cortical synapses in neuroserpin-deficient mice. We observed that neuroserpin is expressed starting from the beginning of corticogenesis until adulthood throughout the cortex in both glutamatergic projection neurons and GABA-ergic interneurons. However, in the absence of neuroserpin we did not detect any alteration in cortical layer formation, in soma size, in dendritic length, and the ultrastructure. Furthermore no significant quantitative changes could be observed in the proteome of cortical synapses could be observed upon Neuroserpin deficiency. We conclude that, although strongly expressed in the cerebral cortex, absence of neuroserpin does not lead to developmental abnormalities, and does not perturb composition of the cortical synaptic proteome.

Forebrain Eml1 depletion reveals early centrosomal dysfunction causing subcortical heterotopia

Project description:The layered structure of the cerebral cortex is formed through a complicated sequence of highly controlled stages during corticogenesis. The perturbation of neuronal migration and cell division during this process can result a rare disorder called as cortical heterotopia. EML1 is a heterotopia associated gene where the perturbations cause heterotopia formation in human as well as in mouse. To elaborate on the EML1 interactome and its disruptions by heterotopia-associated mutation, we performed BioID proximity labeling of EML1 and EML1*T243A, a human SH-associated mutant form of the protein.

RNA-seq of in vitro differentiation of human embryonic stem cells into cortical neurons over 77 days

Project description:Many neurological and psychiatric disorders affect the cerebral cortex, and a clearer understanding of the molecular processes underlying human corticogenesis will provide greater insight into such pathologies. To date, knowledge of gene expression changes accompanying corticogenesis is largely based on murine data. Here we present a searchable, comprehensive, temporal gene expression dataset encompassing cerebral cortical development from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). Using a modified differentiation protocol and RNA-Seq technology with computational analysis, we identified sets of genes and long non-coding RNAs that significantly change during corticogenesis, and those enriched for disease-associations. Numerous alternatively-spliced genes with varying temporal patterns of expression are revealed, including TGIF1, involved in holoprosencephaly and MARK1, involved in autism. We have created a database (http://cortecon.neuralsci.org) that provides online, query-based access to changes in RNA expression and alternatively spliced transcripts during human cortical development. Nine timepoints (days 0,7,12,19,26,33,49,63,77) covering human corticogenesis from embyronic stem cells.
