ZEB1 represses neural differentiation and cooperates with CTBP2 to dynamically regulate cell migration during neocortex development [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1 (Zeb1) is a key regulator of epithelial-mesenchymal transition and cancer metastasis. Mutation of ZEB1 is associated with human diseases and defective brain development. Here we show that down-regulation of Zeb1 expression in the embryonic cortical neural progenitor cells (NPCs) is necessary for proper neuronal differentiation and migration. Overexpression of Zeb1 during neuronal differentiation when its expression normally declines blocks NPC lineage progression and disrupts multipolar-to-bipolar transition of differentiating neurons, leading to severe migration defects and subcortical heterotopia bands at the postnatal stage. We found that ZEB1 regulates a cohort of genes involved in cell differentiation and migration, including Neurod1 and Pard6b. Interestingly, interaction between ZEB1 and CTBP2 in the embryonic cerebral cortex is required for ZEB1 to elicit its effect on multipolar-to-bipolar transition but not its suppression of Neurod1. These findings provide insights into understanding the complexity of transcriptional regulation during neuronal differentiation.

FACS microarray analysis of radially migrating cortical neurons

Project description:During the developmental formation of 6-layered neocortical structure of mammalian cerebral cortex, newborn excitatory neurons depart the ventricular zone and migrate toward the pial surface. At a middle stage of cortical development, newly differentiated postmitotic neurons adopt a multipolar shape (MP), and exhibit a random non-directional migration in the intermediate zone (multipolar migration). When these neurons pass through the subplate layer (SP), they convert to a bipolar shape (BP), and then migrate radially toward the pial surface (locomotion). In order to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of such neuronal migration, we performed a gene expression profiling of newborn excitatory neurons during their migration processes. After in utero electroporation of GFP expressing plasmid into E14 mouse cortex, GFP-positive cells were collected using FACS sorting method after one, two, or three days of electroporation. RNAs of collected GFP-positive cells at each day were purified and applied to microarray analyses. gene-ontology and pathway analyses revealed that genes encoding synaptic proteins, receptors and ECM-related proteins were up-regulated as the migration proceeds. On the other hand, genes encoding cell cycle regulation and immune-related proteins were down-regulated. We will discuss the relationship between the migration mode and the transition of the gene expression.

Mutations in the microtubule-associated protein Eml1 lead to ectopic progenitors and heterotopia formation during cortical development in mouse and human

Project description:Neuronal migration disorders such as lissencephaly and subcortical band heterotopia (SBH) are associated with epilepsy and intellectual disability. Doublecortin (DCX), LIS1 and alpha1-tubulin (TUBA1A), are mutated in these disorders, however corresponding mouse mutants do not show heterotopic neurons in the neocortex. On the other hand, the spontaneously arisen HeCo mouse mutant displays this phenotype. The study of this model reveals novel mechanisms of heterotopia formation. While, HeCo neurons migrate at the same speed as WT, abnormally distributed dividing progenitors were found throughout the cortical wall from E13. Through genetic studies we identified Eml1 as the mutant gene in HeCo mice. No full length transcripts of Eml1 were identified due to a retrotransposon insertion in an intron. Re-expression of Eml1, coding for a microtubule-associated protein, rescues the HeCo progenitor phenotype. We further show that EML1 is mutated in giant ribbon-like heterotopia in human. Our data link abnormal spindle orientations, ectopic progenitors and severe heterotopia in mouse and human. 16 samples analyzed corresponding to 8 wild type brain and 8 HeCo mutant brain

Bcl11a (Ctip1) controls migration of cortical projection neurons through regulation of Sema3c

Project description:During neocortical development, neurons undergo polarization, oriented migration, and layer type-specific differentiation. The transcriptional programs underlying these processes are not completely understood. Here we show that the transcription factor Bcl11a regulates polarity and migration of upper layer neurons. Bcl11a-deficient late-born neurons fail to correctly switch from multipolar to bipolar morphology resulting in impaired radial migration. We show that the expression of Sema3c is increased in migrating Bcl11a-deficient neurons and that Bcl11a is a direct negative regulator of Sema3c transcription. In vivo gain-of-function and rescue experiments demonstrate that Sema3c is a major downstream effector of Bcl11a required for the cell polarity switch and for the migration of upper layer neurons. Our data uncover a novel Bcl11a/Sema3c-dependent regulatory pathway used by migrating cortical neurons.

Dynamic role of Rotatin in mitosis, ciliogenesis and nucleokinesis correlates with variable mutant cerebral phenotypes.

Project description:Recessive mutations in RTTN, encoding centrosome associated protein Rotatin, were originally identified as cause of polymicrogyria, a cortical malformation. With time a wide variety of other brain malformations has been ascribed to RTTN mutations, such as primary microcephaly. However, the function of Rotatin is largely unknown and the molecular disease mechanism underlying these malformations has not yet been elucidated. Here, we report four novel families identified by high throughput sequencing, one of them with a novel deep intronic variant. We reviewed RTTN-related disease phenotypes and defined the spectrum which includes intellectual disability (ID), short stature, microcephaly, lissencephaly, periventricular heterotopia, polymicrogyria and other malformations. Rotatin expression, function and cellular disease phenotype were studied in cultured primary skin fibroblasts from eight unrelated affected individuals. We found that Rotatin deficiency leads to abnormal centrosome amplification during mitosis, resulting in multipolar spindle formation, mitotic failure, increased apoptosis and aneuploidy. In non-dividing healthy cells, Rotatin localizes at the primary cilium, both at basal body and axoneme during ciliogenesis. Interestingly, interphase mutant cells show aberrant ciliogenesis. Proteomics analysis reveals that exogenous Rotatin in HEK293 cells interacts with the non-muscle cellular myosin complex (MYH9-MYH10-MYH14), which is essential for nucleokinesis during neuronal migration. In hiPSC-derived neurons, endogenous Rotatin localizes to the leading edge centrosome, which pulls the perinuclear cage during nucleokinesis, suggesting a pivotal role of Rotatin in neuronal migration. This study sheds light on the pleiotropic cellular functions of Rotatin, explaining disease spectrum linked to both neuronal proliferation and migration.

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.

Histone bivalency regulates the timing of cerebellar granule cell development in vivo [RNA-seq]

Project description:Developing neurons undergo a progression of morphological and gene expression changes as they transition from neuronal progenitors to mature, multipolar neurons. Here we use RNA-seq and ChIP-seq to analyze how chromatin modifications control gene expression in a specific type of CNS neuron, the mouse cerebellar granule cell (GC). We find that in proliferating GC progenitors, H3K4me3/H3K27me3 bivalency is common at neuronal genes and undergoes dynamic changes that correlate with gene expression during migration and circuit formation. Inhibiting H3K27 methyltransferases EZH1 and EZH2 in vitro and in organotypic cerebellar slices dramatically altered the expression of bivalent genes and induced the downregulation of migration-related genes and upregulation of synaptic genes, inhibited glial-guided migration and accelerated dendrite formation. These data show that histone bivalency is required to regulate the timing of the progression from progenitor cells to mature neurons.

Altered migratory trajectories in cerebral organoids derived from individuals with neuronal heterotopia

Project description:Malformations of the human cortex represent a major cause of disability. Mouse models with mutations in known causal genes only partially recapitulate the phenotypes and are therefore not unlimitedly suited for understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms responsible for these conditions. Here we study periventricular heterotopia (PH) by analyzing cerebral organoids derived from induced pluripotent stem cells of patients with mutations in the cadherin receptor-ligand pair DCHS1 and FAT4 or from isogenic knock-out lines. Our results show that human cerebral organoids reproduce the cortical heterotopia associated with PH. Mutations in DCHS1 and FAT4 or knock-down of their expression cause changes in the morphology of neural progenitor cells and result in defective neuronal migration dynamics only in a subset of neurons. Single-cell RNA-sequencing data reveal a subpopulation of mutant neurons with dysregulated genes involved in axon guidance, neuronal migration and patterning. We suggest that defective neural progenitor cell (NPC) morphology and an altered navigation system in a subset of neurons underlie this form of periventricular heterotopia.
