Single cell RNA sequencing profile of unique mesenchymal progenitor subsets from the murine brain

ABSTRACT: The sensitive central nervous system is protected from potentially toxic components in the circulation by a semi-permeable interface, the blood brain barrier (BBB). This barrier is tightly regulated by several stromal cell types, however in certain regions of the brain it requires distinct properties. In particular, two of these regions, the choroid plexus and the pituitary gland are considered differentially permeable compared to other regions. Perivascular mesenchymal progenitors are intimately associated with endothelium and are therefore key participants in the regulation of the BBB. Using a mesenchymal progenitor specific lineage tracing tool, gene expression in this population from the choroid plexus and pituitary gland was profiled at the single cell level to investigate the genetic programs that allow these regions to maintain their respective specific pervious properties.

Effects of gut microbiota on gene expression in the choroid plexus

Project description:Accumulating evidence indicates that gut microbiota dysbiosis is associated with increased blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability and contributes to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis. In contrast, the influence of gut microbiota on the blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barrier has not yet been studied. Here, RNA-seq analysis of choroid plexus tissues of normal colonized specific pathogen-free (SPF) versus decolonized antibiotics-treated mice revealed that the barrier function of choroid plexus is affected by the absence of gut microbiota in the AB mice.

The evolutionarily conserved zebrafish choroid plexus maintains the size of brain ventricles

Project description:The choroid plexus produces cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by transport of electrolytes and water from the vasculature to the brain ventricles. The choroid plexus plays additional roles in brain development and homeostasis by secreting neurotrophic molecules, and by serving as a CSF-blood barrier and immune interface. Prior studies have identified transporters on the epithelial cells that transport water and ions into the ventricles and tight junctions involved in the CSF-blood barrier. Yet, how the choroid plexus epithelial cells maintain the brain ventricle system and control brain physiology remain unresolved. To provide novel insights into the physiological roles of the choroid plexus, we use juvenile and adult zebrafish as model systems. Upon histological and transcriptomic analyses, we first identified that the zebrafish choroid plexus is highly conserved with the mammalian choroid plexus and that it expresses all transporters necessary for CSF secretion. Using novel genetic lines, we also identified that the choroid plexus secretes proteins into the CSF. Next, we generated a transgenic line allowing us to ablate specifically the epithelial cells in the choroid plexus. Using the ablation system, we identified a reduction of the ventricular sizes, but no alterations of the CSF-blood barrier. Altogether, our findings identified that the zebrafish choroid plexus is evolutionarily conserved and critical for maintaining the size and homeostasis of the brain ventricles.

Single Nucleus RNAseq dissection of choroid plexus tumor cell heterogeneity

Project description:To examine the cellular and transcriptional heterogeneity of choroid plexus tumors we determined the single nucleus transcriptomes of 23,906 nuclei from normal choroid plexus and choroid plexus tumors. The resulting cellular atlas profiles cellular and transcriptional heterogeneity, copy number alterations, and cell-cell interaction networks in normal and cancerous choroid plexus. We observe changes in choroid plexus tumor epithelial cell gene transcription that correlate with genome wide methylation profiles. In addition, we characterize tumor-grade-specific tumor microenvironments that include altered macrophage and mesenchymal cell states, as well as changes in extracellular matrix components.

A cellular and spatial map of the choroid plexus across brain ventricles and ages

Project description:The choroid plexus (ChP) in each brain ventricle produces cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and forms the blood-CSF barrier. We apply single cell and single nuclei sequencing to identify region and age specific shifts in gene expression of the constituent cell types of the choroid plexus. First, we sequenced whole cells (15,620) from each ventricle (lateral, third and fourth) of the embryonic mouse brain (Embryonic day (E) 16.5). Our analyses and validation of gene (smFISH) and protein (immunohistochemistry) expression combined with spatial mapping (confocal imaging) revealed the identity and location of major cell types, subtypes, proliferating cells, progenitor populations and regionalized gene expression, across each ventricle in the developing brain. Next, to track age-dependent shifts in the choroid plexus properties, we performed single nuclei sequencing (83,040) across each ventricle of the embryonic (E16.5), adult (4 months) and aging (20 months) mouse brain. Epithelial and mesenchymal cells showed regionalized gene expression patterns by ventricle, starting at embryonic stages and persisting with age. Dramatic transcriptional shifts were found with maturation (embryonic to adult) and a smaller shift within each aged cell type. With aging, epithelial cells upregulated host defense programs and resident macrophages enhanced expression of IL-1b signaling genes. Our atlas revealed ChP brain barrier cellular diversity, architecture and signaling across ventricles during development, maturation and aging.

Gene expression profiles obtained from laser-microdissected human choroid plexus papilloma cells

Project description:Gene expression profiles generated from human tumor cells laser-microdissected from surgical samples of seven choroid plexus papillomas (Grade I WHO) as eight samples of epithelial cells lasermicrodissected from normal choroid plexus obtained at autopsy. Choroid plexus tumors are rare pediatric brain tumors derrived from the choroid plexus epithelium. Gene expression profiles of lasermicrodissected tumor cells from 7 individual choroid plexus tumor samples obtained at surgery were compared to gene expression profiles from non-neoplastic choroid plexus epithelial cells lasermicrodissected from normal non-neoplastic choroid plexus obtained at autopsy (Am J Surg Pathol. 2006 Jan;30(1):66-74.) in order to identfy genes differentially expressed in choroid plexus tumor cells.

Brain heterotopia formation by ciliopathic breakdown of neuroepithelial and blood-cerebrospinal fluid barriers

Project description:In this study, we found that ablation of genes encoding ciliary transport proteins such as intraflagellar transport homolog 88 (Ift88) and kinesin family member 3a (Kif3a) in cortical radial progenitors led to periventricular heterotopia during late mouse embryogenesis. Conditional mutation of primary cilia unexpectedly caused breakdown of both the neuroepithelial lining and the blood-choroid plexus barrier. Choroidal leakage was partially caused by enlargement of the choroid plexus in the cilia mutants. We found that the choroid plexus expressed platelet-derived growth factor A (Pdgf-A) and that Pdgf-A expression was ectopically increased in cilia-mutant embryos. Cortices obtained from embryos in utero electroporated with Pdgfa mimicked periventricular heterotopic nodules of the cilia mutant.

Choroid Plexus Gene Expression in wild-type (wt) and ApoE-deficient Mouse Choroid Plexuses

Project description:Laser capture microdissected choroid plexuses were obtained and expression arrays were generated to investigate gene expression in wt and ApoE choroid plexuses; the choroid plexus forms the cerebrospinal fluid, the cerebrospinal fliod barrier, functions as the major gateway for blood-born leukocytes to enter the brain in degenerative and inflammatory brain diseases, and the principal neuroimmune interface in the brain. We found lipid deposits in the aged choroid plexus of hyperlipidemic mice but none in the wt control choroid plexuses. Here, we studied the functional impact and gene epressions in wt and ApoE-deficient choroid plexuses.

OTX2 homeoprotein regulates adult choroid plexus activity

Project description:Choroid plexus secretes cerebrospinal fluid important for brain development and homeostasis. The OTX2 homeoprotein is critical for choroid plexus development and remains highly expressed in adult choroid plexus. Through RNA sequencing analyses of constitutive and conditional knockdown adult mouse models, we reveal putative roles for OTX2 in choroid plexus function, including cell signaling and adhesion, and show that it regulates the expression of factors secreted into cerebrospinal fluid, notably transthyretin. We also show that Otx2 expression impacts choroid plexus immune and stress responses, and also affects splicing which leads to changes in mRNA isoforms of proteins implicated in oxidative stress response and DNA repair. Through mass spectrometry analysis of OTX2 protein partners in the choroid plexus, and in known non-cell autonomous target regions such as visual cortex and subventricular zone, we identified putative targets involved in cell adhesion, chromatin structure and RNA processing. Thus, OTX2 retains important roles in choroid plexus function and brain homeostasis throughout life.

Choroid plexus mast cells drive tumor-associated hydrocephalus

Project description:Tumor-associated hydrocephalus (TAH) is a common and lethal complication of brain metastases. Although other factors beyond mechanical obstructions have been suggested, the exact mechanisms are unknown. Using single-nucleus RNA-sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, we find that a distinct population of mast cells locate in the choroid plexus and dramatically increase during TAH. Genetic fate-tracing and intracranial mast cell-specific tryptase knockout showed that choroid plexus mast cells (CPMCs) disrupt cilia of choroid plexus epithelia via the tryptase-PAR2-FoxJ1 pathway and consequently increase cerebrospinal fluid production. Mast cells are also found in the human choroid plexus. Levels of tryptase in cerebrospinal fluid are closely associated with clinical severity of TAH. BMS-262084, an inhibitor of tryptase, can cross blood-brain-barrier, inhibits TAH in vivo and alleviates mast cell-induced damage of epithelial cilia in a human pluripotent stem cell-derived choroid plexus organoid model. Collectively, we uncover the function of CPMCs and provide an attractive therapy for TAH.
