Adult Leptomeninges are Regionally Patterned and Provide Specialized Support to Underlying Brain Tissue

ABSTRACT: The leptomeninges envelop the central nervous system and contribute to brain homeostasis by producing trophic factors and regulating entrance of cells, factors and agents, immune responses and cerebrospinal fluid production. We report that leptomeninges from adult mice are regionally patterned. Leptomeninges dissected from anterior or posterior aspects of the forebrain grown in hetero- or homo-typic culture with anterior and posterior cortical cells demonstrate differences in ability to support survival of neuronal subsets and proliferation of progenitors for astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. Meningeal support changes with age: co-culture with 18-month old leptomeninges reduced numbers of cortical progenitor cells and neurons but increased astrocyte expansion. Analysis of cytokine secretion and single cell RNA-sequencing revealed differences in anterior versus posterior, young versus old meningeal factors and composition. These data demonstrate that adult leptomeninges are regionally patterned in cell composition and functional properties, and suggest that meningeal deficits may contribute to brain aging and disease.

Adult Mouse Leptomeninges Exhibit Regional and Age-related Cellular Heterogeneity Implicating Mental Disorders

Project description:Transplantation of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells holds great promise for RPE tissue repair in patients with retinal degenerative diseases, such as age-related macular The leptomeninges envelop the central nervous system (CNS) and contribute to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production and homeostasis. We analyzed the meninges overlying the anterior or posterior forebrain in the adult mouse by single nuclear RNA-sequencing (snucRNA-seq). This revealed regional differences in fibroblast and endothelial cell composition and gene expression. Surprisingly, these non-neuronal cells co-expressed genes implicated in neural functions. The regional differences changed with aging, from 3 to 18 months. Cytokine analysis revealed specific soluble factor production from anterior vs posterior meninges that also altered with age. Secreted factors from the leptomeninges from different regions and ages differentially impacted the survival of anterior or posterior cortical neuronal subsets, neuron morphology, and glia proliferation. These findings suggest that meningeal dysfunction in different brain regions could contribute to specific neural pathologies. The disease-associations of meningeal cell genes differentially expressed with region and age were significantly enriched for mental and substance abuse disorders.

Dynamic developmental signaling logic underlying lineage bifurcations during human endoderm induction and patterning from pluripotent stem cells [Expression data set]

Project description:The definitive endoderm germ layer is the provenance of multiple internal organs, including the lungs, liver, pancreas and intestines. Molecular events driving initial endoderm germ layer specification and subsequent anterior-posterior patterning of endoderm into distinct organ primordia remain largely cryptic. Through microarray analyses, we captured genome-wide transcriptional dynamics driving successive stages of endoderm development with the intent of identifying novel regulatory genes or diagnostic markers that respectively drive or mark endoderm committment. HES3 human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) were differentiated into highly homogeneous endodermal progenitor populations, and microarray analyses were conducted of six different populations at different tiers of the endodermal lineage hierarchy: undifferentiated hESCs, anterior primitive streak (day 1 of in vitro differentiation), definitive endoderm (day 3) and anterior foregut, posterior foregut or midgut/hindgut patterned endoderm populations (day 7). Additionally, we compared hESCs differentiated using two alternative endoderm induction protocols, serum-based or AFBLy-based differentiation (both day 3 of differentiation).

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.

Single-muscle-cell transcriptome profiling along the planarian anteroposterior axis

Project description:How positional information instructs adult tissue maintenance is poorly understood. Planarians undergo whole-body regeneration and tissue turnover, providing a model for adult positional information studies. Genes encoding secreted and transmembrane components of multiple developmental pathways are predominantly expressed in planarian muscle cells. Several of these genes regulate regional identity, consistent with muscle harboring positional information. Here, single-cell RNA-sequencing of 115 muscle cells from distinct anterior-posterior regions identified 44 regionally expressed genes, including multiple Wnt and ndk/FGF receptor-like (ndl/FGFRL) genes. Two distinct FGFRL-Wnt circuits, involving juxtaposed anterior FGFRL and posterior Wnt expression domains, controlled planarian head and trunk patterning. ndl-3 and wntP-2 inhibition expanded the trunk, forming ectopic mouths and secondary pharynges, which independently extended and ingested food. fz5/8-4 inhibition, like that of ndk and wntA, caused posterior brain expansion and ectopic eye formation. Our results suggest that FGFRL-Wnt circuits operate within a body-wide coordinate system to control adult axial positioning.
