Developmental Cytoplasmic-to-Nuclear Translocation of RNA-Binding Protein HuR Is Required for Adult Neurogenesis

ABSTRACT: Although neurogenesis in the adult brain recapitulates processes that occur during embryonic development, adult neurogenesis exhibits distinct characteristics from its embryonic counterpart. However, the intrinsic mechanism underlying the differential regulation of neurogenesis between these two stages remains unclear. Herein, we show that the ablation of RNA-binding protein HuR in neural stem cells (NSCs) impairs adult, but not embryonic, neurogenesis. HuR is predominantly expressed in the cytoplasm of embryonic NSCs but translocates into the nucleus of adult NSCs. Transcriptomic analysis of HuR-deficient adult NSCs revealed that nuclear HuR primarily regulates alternative splicing of numerous premRNA transcripts, including focal adhesion kinase (FAK). HuR-deficient adult NSCs generate increased FAK mRNA isoforms with shorter 5’ UTRs, leading to enhanced FAK mRNA translation and hyperactivated FAK signaling, and inhibition of FAK ameliorates defective adult neurogenesis and impaired hippocampus-dependent learning in HuR-deficient mice. Taken together, these findings reveal novel mechanistic insights into the differential regulation of embryonic and adult neurogenesis through developmental cytoplasmic-to-nuclear translocation of HuR in NSCs.

Rip-Chip profiling of HnRNP A1 nuclear complexes in HuR WT and HuR KO cells

Project description:Post-transcriptional regulatory networks are dependent on the interplay of many RNA-binding proteins having a major role in mRNA processing events in mammals. We have been interested in the concerted action of the two RNA-binding proteins hnRNP A1 and HuR, both stable components of immunoselected hnRNP complexes and having a major nuclear localization. Specifically, we present here the application of the RNA-immunoprecipitation (RIP)-Chip technology to identify a population of nuclear transcripts associated with hnRNP A1-RNPs as isolated from the nuclear extract of either HuR WT or HuR-depleted (KO) mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells. The outcome of this analysis was a list of target genes regulated via HuR for their association (either increased or reduced) with the nuclear hnRNP A1-RNP complexes. Real time PCR analysis was applied to validate a selected number of nuclear mRNA transcripts, as well as to identify pre-spliced transcripts (in addition to their mature mRNA counterpart) within the isolated nuclear hnRNP A1-RNPs. The differentially enriched mRNAs were found to belong to GO categories relevant to biological processes anticipated for hnRNP A1 and HuR (such as transport, transcription, translation, apoptosis and cell cycle) indicative of their concerted function in mRNA metabolism. Ribonucleoprotein Immunoprecipitation (RIP) using hnRNP A1 specific antibody was performed in nuclear extracts from HuR WT and HuR KO Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts (MEFs). RNA isolated from these IPs together with nuclear RNA from the two cell types, was subjected to microarray analysis. Three biological replicates, representing three independent experiments, are available for each condition except in the case of nuclear RNA isolated from HuR WT MEFs that one replicate didn’t pass the quality control.

Targeting the HuR oncogenic role with a new class of inhibitors of HuR dimerization

Project description:Comprehensive meta-analysis and target screening confirmed that the mRNA-binding protein of ELAV-family HuR is oncogenic and universally upregulated in brain tumors, which highlight HuR as an universal chemotherapeutic target. HuR functionality in cancer cells is strictly dependent on HuR nuclear/cytoplasmic shuttling and dimerization; therefore, we developed a new class of inhibitors of HuR protein dimerization by utilizing medicinal chemistry techniques and reporter cell-based assay of HuR dimerization. The therapeutic potentials of lead compound (SRI-42127) were evaluated in five primary patient-derived glioma xenolines of classic, proneural, and mesenchymal subtypes, in vitro, and in mouse glioma model, in vivo. The Illumina global RNA-Sequencing was performed on PDGx-derived glioma neurospheres of different subtypes after treatment with DMSO (control) or SRI-42127 (3 uM) for 12 h to analysis transcripts and cell-signaling pathways affected by new inhibitor of HuR dimerization.

Neuro-specific HuR-deficient mice spontaneously develop motor neuron disease

Project description:To study the neuron-specific function of HuR, we generated inducible, neuron-specific HuR-deficient mice of both sexes. These mice developed a phenotype consisting of poor balance, decreased movement, and decreased strength Genome-wide microarray and RT-PCR analysis further indicated that HuR deficiency in neurons resulted in altered expression of genes in the brain involved in cell growth The additional enriched GO terms in the brain tissues of neuron-specific HuR-deficient mice were largely related to inflammation, including interferon-induced genes and complement components.

Transcriptional impact of conditional loss of Notch2 from adult NSCs

Project description:Adult NSCs maintenance depends on intakt Notch signaling. The role of Notch2 has only been marginally studied in adult neurogenesis. To adress the role of the Notch2 paralogue we conditionally deleted Notch2 from the adult SVZ and analysed the Notch2-deficient cells at distinct time points.

Developmental emergence of adult neural stem cells as revealed by single cell transcriptional profiling

Project description:Adult neural stem cells (NSCs) derive from embryonic precursors, but little is known about how or when this occurs. We have addressed this issue using single cell RNAseq at multiple developmental timepoints to analyze the embryonic murine cortex, one source of adult forebrain NSCs. We computationally identify all major cortical cell types, including the embryonic radial precursors (RPs) that generate adult NSCs. We define the initial emergence of RPs from neuroepithelial stem cells at E11.5. We show that by E13.5 these RPs express a transcriptional identity that is maintained and reinforced throughout their transition to a non-proliferative state between E15.5 and E17.5. These slowly-proliferating late embryonic RPs share a core transcriptional phenotype with quiescent adult forebrain NSCs. Together, these findings support a model where cortical RPs maintain a core transcriptional identity from embryogenesis through to adulthood, and where the transition to a quiescent adult NSC occurs during late neurogenesis.

Topoisomerase IIA in Adult NSCs Regulates SVZ Neurogenesis by Transcriptional Activation of Usp37 (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Topoisomerase IIA (TOP2a) has been traditionally known as an important nuclear enzyme that resolves entanglements and relieves torsional stress of DNA double strands. However, little is known about its function in genomic transcriptional regulation, especially during adult neurogenesis. Here, we show that TOP2a is preferentially expressed in neurogenic niches in the brain of adult mice, such as the subventricular zone (SVZ). Conditional knockout of Top2a in adult neural stem cells (NSCs) in the SVZ significantly inhibits their self-renewal and proliferation and ultimately reduces neurogenesis. To gain insight into the molecular mechanisms by which TOP2a regulates adult NSCs, we perform RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-Seq) and identify ubiquitin-specific proteases 37 (Usp37) as a direct TOP2a target gene. Importantly, overexpression of Usp37 is sufficient to rescue the impaired self-renewal ability of adult NSCs caused by Top2a knockdown. Taken together, our proof-of-principle study illustrates a TOP2a/Usp37-mediated novel molecular mechanism of adult neurogenesis, which will significantly expand our understanding of the function of topoisomerase in adult brain.
