Microarray analysis of neural progenitor cells (hNPC) derived from the developing cortex (CTX) and ventral midbrain (VM)

ABSTRACT: Neural progenitor cells (hNPC) derived from the developing human brain can be expanded in culture and subsequently differentiated into neurons and glia. They provide an interesting source of tissue for both modeling brain development and future cellular replacement therapies. It is becoming clear that hNPC are regionally and temporally specified depending on which brain region they were isolated from and its developmental stage. We show here that hNPC derived from the developing cortex (hNPCCTX) and ventral midbrain (hNPCVM) have similar morphological characteristics and express the progenitor cell marker nestin. However, hNPCCTX cultures were highly proliferative and produced large numbers of neurons, while hNPCVM divided slowly and produced less neurons but more astrocytes. Microarray analysis revealed a similar expression pattern for some stemness markers between the two growing cultures, overlaid with a regionally specific profile that identified some important differentially expressed neurogenic transcription factors. By over expressing one of these, the transcription factor ASCL1, we were able to regain neurogenesis from hNPCVM cultures which produced larger neurons with more neurites than hNPCCTX, but no fully mature dopamine neurons. Thus hNPC are regionally specified and can be induced to undergo neurogenesis following genetic manipulation. While this restores neuronal production with a region specific phenotype, it does not restore full neurochemical maturation which may require additional factors.

Rapid Generation of Regionally Specified CNS Neurons by Sequential Patterning and Conversion of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Project description:The differentiation of patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into specific neuronal subtypes has been exploited as an approach to modeling a variety of neurological disorders. However, achieving a highly pure population of neurons is challenging when using directed differentiation methods, especially for neuronal subtypes generated by complex and protracted protocols. In this study, we efficiently produced highly pure populations of regionally specified CNS neurons by using a modified NGN2-Puromycin direct conversion protocol. The protocol is amenable across a range of iPSC lines, with an efficiency above 97% by day 21, and above 95% of neurons positive for MAP2. This NGN2-Puromycin conversion resulted in a significant number of peripheral neurons, but by incorporating a short CNS patterning step, we eliminated these peripheral neurons. Furthermore, we used the patterning step to control the rostral-caudal identity. This approach to sequential patterning and NGN2-Puromycin conversion, when patterned with SMAD inhibitors, produced pure populations of forebrain neurons; when SMAD inhibitors and WNT agonists were applied, the approach produced anterior hindbrain excitatory neurons, resulting in a neuronal population containing VSX2/SHOX2 V2a interneurons. Overall, this sequential patterning and conversion protocol can be used for the production of a variety of CNS excitatory neurons from patient-derived iPSCs, which is a highly versatile system for investigating early disease events for a range of neurological disorders including Alzheimer's disease, motor neurons disease and spinal cord injury.

A Single Cell Transcriptomic Analysis of Human Neocortical Development

Project description:<p>Defining the number, proportion, or lineage of distinct cell types in the developing human brain is an important goal of modern brain research. We produced single cell transcriptomic profiles for 40,000 cells at mid-gestation to define deep expression profiles corresponding to all known major cell types at this developmental period and compare this with bulk tissue profiles. We identified multiple transcription factors (TFs) and co-factors expressed in specific cell types, including multiple new cell-type-specific relationships, providing an unprecedented resource for understanding human neocortical development and evolution. This includes the first single-cell characterization of human subplate neurons and subtypes of developing glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons. We also used these data to deconvolute single cell regulatory networks that connect regulatory elements and transcriptional drivers to single cell gene expression programs in the developing CNS. We characterized major developmental trajectories that tie cell cycle progression with early cell fate decisions during early neurogenesis. Remarkably, we found that differentiation occurs on a transcriptomic continuum, so that differentiating cells not only express the few key TFs that drive cell fates, but express broad, mixed cell-type transcriptomes prior to telophase. Finally, we mapped neuropsychiatric disease genes to specific cell types, implicating dysregulation of specific cell types in ASD, ID, and epilepsy, as the mechanistic underpinnings of several neurodevelopmental disorders. Together these results provide an extensive catalog of cell types in human neocortex and extend our understanding of early cortical development, human brain evolution and the cellular basis of neuropsychiatric disease.</p>

Meningeal cells contribute to postnatal cortical neurogenesis.

Project description:Postnatal brain neurogenesis in mammals is believed to be restricted to rare germinative remnants of the neuroepithelium. In this study, we discovered that, in the postnatal brain, a subset of embryonically derived progenitors is present in meningeal substructures. These cells migrate from the meningeal substructures to the retrosplenial and visual motor cortex and differentiate into (electrically) functional integrated neurons. Lineage tracing analysis revealed that this subset of neural progenitors originate largely from PDGFR+ cells. PDGFR-derived cells differentiate mostly into Satb2+ neurons in cortical layers I-IV. Thus, a reservoir of embryonically derived progenitors in the meninges contributes to postnatal cerebral cortical neurogenesis.

mRNA-seq analyses for the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) among Con, NF VM-astrocytes, Ctx-astrocytes, and control Ctx-NPCs

Project description:To gain further molecular insight into the observed astrocyte functions, we performed RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis of the differentiated Ctx-NPCs (control), Ctx-astrocytes and VM-astrocytes used in the co-culture and CM experiments. The genes that are differentially expressed (DEGs) in Ctx-astrocytes compared to differentiated Ctx-NPCs (FPKM>1, log2>1) significantly overlapped with DEGs in VM-astrocytes compared to differentiated Ctx-NPCs

Proteome of ZIKV-infected and NS4B-transduced hNPC (H/PF/2013)

Project description:To investigate the effects of ZIKV infection or ZIKV-NS4B-transduction on the global proteome scale at early stages of hNPC differentiation into neurons, hNPC cells were infected with ZIKV (Asian strain: H/PF/2013; MOI=0.01) or transduced with ZIKV-NS4B or HCV-NS4B and one day later cells were either left under proliferative conditions or neuronal differentiation was induced with ROCK inhibitors treatment and growth factors withdrawals. Five days later samples were harvested and processed for quantitative label-free proteomics.

miR-124 coordinates metabolic regulators acting at early stages of human neurogenesis

Project description:Metabolic dysregulation of neurons is associated with diverse human brain disorders. Metabolic reprogramming occurs during neuronal differentiation, but it is not fully understood which molecules regulate metabolic changes at the early stages of neurogenesis. In this study, we report that miR-124 is a driver of metabolic change at the initiating stage of human neurogenesis. Proteome analysis has shown the oxidative phosphorylation pathway to be the most significantly altered among the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in the immature neurons after the knockdown of miR-124. In agreement with these proteomics results, miR-124-depleted neurons display mitochondrial dysfunctions, such as decreased mitochondrial membrane potential and cellular respiration. Moreover, morphological analyses of mitochondria in early differentiated neurons after miR-124 knockdown result in smaller and less mature shapes. Lastly, we show the potential of identified DEPs as novel metabolic regulators in early neuronal development by validating the effects of GSTK1 on cellular respiration. GSTK1, which is upregulated most significantly in miR-124 knockdown neurons, reduces the oxygen consumption rate of neural cells. Collectively, our data highlight the roles of miR-124 in coordinating metabolic maturation at the early stages of neurogenesis and provide insights into potential metabolic regulators associated with human brain disorders characterised by metabolic dysfunctions.
