Progressive accumulation of resting cells ensures the lifelong maintenance of the hippocampal stem cell population

ABSTRACT: Neural stem cell numbers fall rapidly in the hippocampus of juvenile mice but stabilise during adulthood, ensuring lifelong hippocampal neurogenesis. We show that this reduction in stem cell depletion rate in young adults is the result of coordinated changes in stem cell behaviour. In particular, while proliferating neural stem cells in juveniles differentiate rapidly, they increasingly return to a resting state of shallow quiescence and progress through additional self-renewing divisions in adulthood. Single-cell transcriptomic, modelling and label-retention analyses indicate that resting cells have a higher activation rate and greater contribution to neurogenesis than dormant cells, which have not left quiescence. These progressive changes in stem cell behaviour result from reduced expression of the pro-activation protein ASCL1 due to increased post-translational degradation. These cellular mechanisms help reconcile current contradictory models of hippocampal NSC dynamics and may contribute to the different rates of decline of hippocampal neurogenesis in mammalian species including humans.

Epigenetic and transcriptomic profiling of neural stem cells after midazolam exposure

Project description:Here we show that early-life exposure to midazolam (MDZ), a widely used drug in pediatric anesthesia, persistently alters chromatin accessibility and expression of quiescence-associated genes in neural stem cells (NSCs) in mouse hippocampus. The alterations led to a continuous restriction of NSC proliferation toward adulthood, resulting in reduction of neurogenesis associated with the impairment of hippocampal-dependent memory functions. Moreover, we found that voluntary exercise restored hippocampal neurogenesis accompanied by the normalization of MDZ-perturbed transcriptome and ameliorated declined cognitive ability in MDZ-exposed mice.

A fatty acid oxidation-dependent metabolic shift regulates adult neural stem cell quiescence

Project description:Adult hippocampal neurogenesis is important for certain forms of cognition and failing neurogenesis has been implicated in neuropsychiatric diseases. The neurogenic capacity of hippocampal neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) depends on a balance between quiescent and proliferative states. However, how this balance is regulated remains poorly understood. Here we show that the rate of fatty acid oxidation (FAO) defines quiescence vs. proliferation in NSPCs. Quiescent NSPCs show high levels of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1a (Cpt1a)-dependent FAO, which is downregulated in proliferating NSPCs. Pharmacological inhibition and conditional deletion of Cpt1a in vitro and in vivo leads to altered NSPC behavior, showing that Cpt1a-dependent FAO is required for stem cell maintenance and proper neurogenesis. Strikingly, experimental manipulation of malonyl-CoA, the metabolite that regulates levels of FAO, is sufficient to induce exit from quiescence and to enhance NSPC proliferation. Thus, the data presented here identify a shift in FAO metabolism that governs NSPC behavior and suggest an instructive role for fatty acid metabolism in regulating NSPC activity.

Klf9 regulates neural stem cell activation and expansion in the adult hippocampus

Project description:Experience governs neurogenesis from radial-glial neural stem cells (RGLs) in the adult hippocampus to support memory. Transcription factors in RGLs integrate physiological signals to dictate quiescence-activation decisions and self-renewal divisions. Whereas asymmetric RGL self-renewal drives neurogenesis during favorable conditions, symmetric divisions prevent premature neurogenesis during unfavorable conditions while amplifying RGLs to anticipate neurogenic demands when conditions become favorable. Here, we show that the transcription factor Kruppel-like factor 9 (Klf9) is enriched in quiescent RGLs and inducible, bidirectional modulation of Klf9 biases RGL quiescence-activation decisions. Clonal lineage tracing and longitudinal intravital two-photon imaging of RGLs following cell-autonomous Klf9 deletion directly demonstrated increased symmetric self-renewal. In vivo translational profiling of RGLs identified a Klf9-dependent blueprint for genetic and metabolic programs instructing RGL quiescence and expansion. Thus, experience dependent regulation of Klf9 in RGLs may ensure self-preservation of neural stem cells while anticipating future demands for neurogenesis and astrogenesis to support hippocampal functions.

Single cell analysis of the postnatal dorsal V-SVZ reveals a role for Bmpr1a-signaling in silencing pallial germinal activity

Project description:The ventricular-subventricular zone (V-SVZ) is the largest neurogenic region of the postnatal forebrain, containing neural stem cells (NSCs) that emerge from both the embryonic pallium and subpallium. Despite of this dual origin, glutamatergic neurogenesis declines rapidly after birth, while gabaergic neurogenesis persists throughout life. We performed single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-Seq) of the postnatal dorsal V-SVZ for unravelling the mechanisms leading to pallial lineage germinal activity silencing. We show that pallial NSCs enter a state of deep quiescence, characterized by high BMP-signaling, reduced transcriptional activity and Hopx expression, whilst in contrast, subpallial NSCs remain primed for activation. Induction of deep quiescence is paralleled by a rapid blockade of glutamatergic neurons production and differentiation. Finally, manipulation of Bmpr1a demonstrates its key role in mediating these effects. Together, our results highlight a central role of BMP-signaling in synchronizing quiescence induction and blockade of neuronal differentiation to rapidly silence pallial germinal activity after birth.

A lysine demethylase-independent function of Phf2 regulates cohesin-mediated DNA replication for neural stem cell activation

Project description:The activation of quiescent neural stem cells (qNSCs) in the dentate gyrus is required for lifelong neurogenesis. However, the mechanisms that promote the exit of neural stem cells (NSCs) from quiescence remain elusive. We demonstrate that the expression of plant homeodomain finger protein 2 (Phf2) activates the exit of postnatal mouse NSC from shallow quiescence. Loss of Phf2 prevents NSC activation and neurogenesis in postnatal 30 (P30) mice but does not decrease the label-retaining NSC pool, indicating that Phf2 is not required for the exit of NSC from quiescence. NSC-specific deletion of Phf2 modestly compromises embryonic mouse NSC proliferation without increasing apoptosis, indicating that Phf2 is crucial for embryonic development. Moreover, human cortical organoids reveal that Phf2 promotes NPC proliferation via a lysine demethylase-independent manner. Mechanistically, Phf2 directly binds to the cohesion complex via Rad21 and regulates the DNA replication in mouse NSC by associating with the cohesion complex releasing protein Wapl activity. Our study identifies the Phf2-cohesin complex mediated DNA replication for neural stem cell activation in a lysine demethylase-independent manner.

Converged Epitranscriptomic Co-regulation of TGFβ Signaling Components Suppresses the Quiescence Transition of Early Postnatal Hippocampal Neural Stem Cells

Project description:Quiescence acquisition of proliferating neural stem cells (NSCs) is required to establish the adult NSC pool yet the underlying molecular mechanisms are not well-understood. Here we showed that conditional deletion of the m6A reader Ythdf2, which promotes mRNA decay, in proliferating NSCs in the early postnatal mouse hippocampus led to elevated quiescence acquisition with decreased neurogenesis. Multimodal profiling of m6A modification, YTHDF2 binding, and mRNA decay in hippocampal NSCs identified shared targets in multiple TGFβ signaling pathway components, including TGFβ ligands, maturation factors, receptors, transcription regulators, and signaling regulators. Functionally, Ythdf2 deletion led to TGFβ signaling activation in NSCs, suppression of which rescued elevated quiescence acquisition of proliferating hippocampal NSCs. Our study reveals the dynamic nature and critical roles of mRNA decay in establishing the quiescent adult hippocampal NSC pool and uncovers a novel mode of epitranscriptomic control via co-regulation of multiple components of the same signaling pathway.

Fetal Growth Restriction Impairs Hippocampal Neurogenesis and Cognition via Tet1 in Offspring

Project description:Fetal growth restriction (FGR) increases the risk for impaired cognitive function later in life. However, the precise mechanisms remain elusive. Using dexamethasone-induced FGR and protein restriction-influenced FGR mouse models, we observed learning and memory deficits in adult FGR offspring. FGR induces decreased hippocampal neurogenesis from the early postnatal period to adulthood by reducing the proliferation of neural stem cells (NSCs). We further found a persistent decrease of Tet1 expression in hippocampal NSCs of FGR mice. Mechanistically, Tet1 downregulation results in hypermethylation of the Dll3 and Notch1 promoters and inhibition of Notch signaling, leading to reduced NSC proliferation. Overexpression of Tet1 activates Notch signaling, offsets the decline in neurogenesis, and enhances learning and memory abilities in FGR offspring. Our data indicate that a long-term decrease in Tet1/Notch signaling in hippocampal NSCs contributes to impaired neurogenesis following FGR and could serve as potential targets for the intervention of FGR-related cognitive disorders.

Microglia actively remodels adult hippocampal neurogenesis through the phagocytosis secretome

Project description:During adult hippocampal neurogenesis, the majority of newborn cells undergo apoptosis and are rapidly phagocytosed by resident microglia in order to avoid disturbing the surrounding neurons. Here, we propose that phagocytosis is not merely a passive process of corpse removal but has an active role in maintaining adult hippocampal neurogenesis. First, we found that neurogenesis was disrupted in three defective microglial phagocytosis KO models in vivo (P2Y12, MerTK/Axl , GPR34). We then followed an in vitro approach to perform a transcriptomic analysis of microglial phagocytosis and identified genes involved in metabolism, chromatin remodeling, and neurogenesis-related functions. Finally, we determined that the phagocytic microglia secretome limits the production of new neurons both in vivo and in vitro. Our data suggest that reprogrammed phagocytic microglia acts as a sensor of local cell death, modulating the balance between cell proliferation and cell survival in the neurogenic niche, supporting the long-term maintenance of adult hippocampal neurogenesis.

SETD4 Cells Contribute to Brain Development and Maintain Adult Stem Cell Reservoir for Neurogenesis

Project description:Cellular quiescence facilitates maintenance of neural stem cells (NSCs) and their subsequent regenerative functions in response to brain injury and aging. However, the specification and maintenance of NSCs in quiescence from embryo to adulthood remains largely unclear. Here, using Set domain-containing protein 4 (SETD4), an epigenetic determinant of cellular quiescence, we mark a small but long-lived NSC population in deep quiescence in the subventricular zone of adult murine brain. Genetic lineage tracing shows that SETD4+ cells appear before neuroectoderm formation and contribute to brain development. In the adult, conditional knock-out of SETD4 resulted in quiescence exit of NSCs, generating newborn neurons in the olfactory bulb and contributing to damage repair. However, long period deletion of SETD4 lead to exhaustion of NSC reservoir or SETD4 overexpression caused quiescence entry of NSCs, leading to suppressed neurogenesis. This study reveals the existence of long-lived deep quiescent NSCs and their neurogenetic capacities beyond activation.
