Chromatin accessibility dynamics and single cell RNA-Seq reveal new regulators of regeneration in neural progenitors

ABSTRACT: Vertebrate appendage regeneration requires precisely coordinated remodeling of the transcriptional landscape to enable the growth and differentiation of new tissue, a process executed over multiple days and across dozens of cell types. The heterogeneity of tissues and temporally-sensitive fate decisions involved has made it difficult to articulate the gene regulatory programs enabling regeneration of individual cell types. To better understand how a regenerative program is fulfilled by neural progenitor cells (NPCs) of the spinal cord, we analyzed pax6-expressing NPCs isolated from regenerating Xenopus tropicalis tails. By intersecting chromatin accessibility data with single-cell transcriptomics, we find that NPCs place an early priority on neuronal differentiation. Late in regeneration, the priority returns to proliferation. Our analyses identify Pbx3 and Meis1 as critical regulators of tail regeneration and axon organization. Overall, we use transcriptional regulatory dynamics to present a new model for cell fate decisions and their regulators in NPCs during regeneration.

Metabolite analysis of regional neural stem/progenitor cells

Project description:The developing mammalian brain generates a variety of Neural Progenitor Cells (NPCs). Primary NPCs throughout the neuraxis are derived from the ventricular zone. Intermediate progenitor cells (IPCs) are produced uniquely in the telencephalon and contribute extensively to the neurons that comprise the cerebral cortex and basal ganglia. It is known that the fate of the diverse NPC populations is determined by the interplay of transcription factors and regulation by regional humoral cues. However, despite our recent appreciation that nutrient-regulated intracellular metabolic milieu (pO2, energy, and redox state) significantly influence cell fate, an unexplored area is whether NPCs have intrinsic metabolic identity, and if so, the mechanism by which molecular metabolism contributes to brain development.Little is known however, if intrinsic differences in cellular metabolism of regional NPCs make certain NPCs susceptible while others resistant to genetic and environmental insults. We conjectured that regional (fore-and hindbrain) NPCs are metabolically distinct.

A small molecule accelerates neuronal differentiation in the adult rat

Project description:Adult neurogenesis occurs in mammals and provides a mechanism for continuous neural plasticity in the brain.However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms regulating hippocampal neural progenitor cells (NPCs) and whether their fate can be pharmacologically modulated to improve neural plasticity and regeneration. Here, we report the characterization of a unique small molecule (KHS101) that selectively induces a neuronal differentiation phenotype. Mechanism of action studies revealed a link of KHS101 to cell cycle exit and specific binding to the TACC3 protein, whose knockdown in NPCs recapitulates the KHS101-induced phenotype. Upon systemic administration, KHS101 distributed to the brainandresulted in a significant increase in neuronal differentiation in vivo. Our findings indicate that KHS101 accelerates neuronal differentiation by interaction with TACC3 and may provide a basis for pharmacological intervention.directed at endogenous NPCs. Compare expression profile of KHS101-treated hippocampal progenitor cells (2 concentrations) vs. DMSO (negative control), retinoic acid (positive control)

Defining the role of oxygen tension in human neural progenitor fate

Project description:Hypoxia augments human embryonic stem cell self-renewal via hypoxia-inducible factor 2M-NM-1 (HIF2M-NM-1) activated OCT4 (POU5F1) transcription. Hypoxia also increases the efficiency of reprogramming differentiated cells to a pluripotent-like state. Combined, these findings suggest that low oxygen (O2) tension would impair the purposeful differentiation of pluripotent stem cells. Here, we show that low O2 tension and HIF activity instead promotes appropriate hESC differentiation. Through gain and loss of function studies, we implicate O2 tension as a modifier of a key cell fate decision, namely whether neural progenitors differentiate towards neurons or glia. Furthermore, our data show that even transient changes in O2 concentration can affect cell fate through HIF by regulating the activity of MYC, a regulator of LIN28/let-7 that is critical for fate decisions in the neural lineage. We also identify key small molecules that can take advantage of this pathway to quickly and efficiently promote the development of mature cell types. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression of human neural progenitor cells (NPC) cultured in physiological (2%) oxygen tension. By comparing NPCs with activated Hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) activity (DFX treatment) and NPCs with diminished HIF activity (HIF1M-NM-2 knockdown), we identified genes that are important for NPC fate decision under physiological oxygen concentration. We also used microarrays to obtain a global gene expression profiling during embryoid bodies formation using ES cells with diminished HIF activity. In HIF activation experiments, two ES lines and one iPS line-derived NPC were used, with or without DFX treatment for 5 days. In HIF1M-NM-2 knockdown experiments, NPCs were derived from either shHIF1M-NM-2 or control ES lines. In embryoid body formation experiments, day0 (ES stage) and day6 EBs were generated from either shHIF1M-NM-2 or control ES lines in 2% oxygen.

Cellular Senescence in Progenitor Cells Contributes to Diminished Remyelination Potential in Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

Project description:Cellular senescence is a form of adaptive cellular physiology associated with aging. Cellular senescence causes a pro-inflammatory cellular phenotype that impairs tissue regeneration, has been linked to stress, and is implicated in several human neurodegenerative diseases. We had previously determined that neural progenitor cells (NPCs) derived from primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) patient induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell lines failed to promote oligodendrocyte progenitor cell (OPC) maturation whereas NPCs from age-matched control cell lines did so efficiently. Herein, we report that expression of hallmarks of cellular senescence were identified in SOX2+ progenitor cells within white matter lesions of human progressive MS autopsy brain tissues and PPMS patient iPS-derived NPCs. Expression of cellular senescence genes in PPMS NPCs was found to be reversible by treatment with rapamycin which then enhanced PPMS NPC support for oligodendrocyte differentiation. A proteomic analysis of the PPMS NPC secretome identified high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1), which was found to be a senescence-associated inhibitor of oligodendrocyte differentiation. Transcriptome analysis of OPCs revealed that senescent NPCs induced expression of epigenetic regulators mediated by extracellular HMGB1. Lastly, we determined that progenitor cells are a source of elevated HMGB1 in human white matter lesions. Based on these data, we conclude that cellular senescence contributes to altered progenitor cell functions in demyelinated lesions in MS. Moreover, these data implicate cellular aging and senescence as a process that contributes to remyelination failure in progressive MS which may impact how this disease is modeled and inform development of future myelin regeneration strategies.

JMJD3 and UTX Determine Fidelity and Lineage Specification of Human Neural Progenitor Cells [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Neurogenesis entails a highly orchestrated process from pluripotent to neural cell fates including progenitors (NPCs) and various neural subtypes. However, the precise epigenetic mechanisms underlying the fate decision remain poorly understood. Here, we deleted KDM6s (JMJD3 or/and UTX), the demethylases for H3K27me3, in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and show that their deletion does not impede NPC generation from hESCs. However, KDM6-deficient NPCs exhibit poor proliferation and fail to become neurons and glia. Mechanistically, KDM6 deficiency leads to H3K27me3 accumulation and blockade of DNA accessibility at loci essential for neurogenesis, thus hinder the fate transition from NPCs to neural subtypes. Our findings uncover an essential role of KDM6s in neurogenesis and highlight the contribution of individual epigenetic regulators in specifying lineage fidelity and fate decision during human development.
