Integration of central and peripheral neurons in human elongating multilineage organized (EMLO) gastruloids

ABSTRACT: Human stem cell technologies including self-assembling 3D tissue models provide unprecedented access to early neurodevelopment and are enabling fundamental insights into neuropathologies. Gastruloid models have yet to be used to investigate developing neuronal systems. Here we generate elongating multi-lineage-organized (EMLO) gastruloids with trunk identity that co-develop central and peripheral nervous system (CNS, PNS) correlates. We identify neural crest cells that differentiate to form peripheral neurons integrated with an upstream spinal cord region. This follows initial EMLO polarization events and is coordinated with primitive gut tube elongation and multicellular spatial reorganization. We evaluate EMLOs over a forty-day period, applying immunofluorescence of multi-lineage and functional biomarkers, including day 16 single-cell RNA-Seq, and use them to investigate the impact of mu opioid receptor modulation on neuronal activity. This comprehensive study demonstrates the first combined human CNS-PNS model of early organogenesis in the trunk to benefit biomedical research.

Transcriptome analysis of familial dysautonomia reveals tissue-specific gene expression disruption in the peripheral nervous system

Project description:Familial Dysautonomia (FD) is a rare recessive neurodevelopmental disease caused by a splice site mutation in the Elongator acetyltransferase complex subunit 1 (ELP1) leading to tissue-specific skipping of exon 20 and reduction of the ELP1 protein, distinctly in the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). Here we performed a transcriptome-wide study to dissect the molecular mechanisms underlying FD in specific neuronal tissues from the FD phenotypic mouse which expresses human ELP1, including the dorsal root ganglion (DRG), trigeminal ganglion (TG), medulla (MED), cortex, and spinal cord (SC). We focused our analyses on differentially expressed genes (DEGs) representing the most dominant transcriptomic alterations; and on genes in co-expression modules that are highly correlated with full-length ELP1 expression (ELP1 dose-responsive genes). We identified higher number of DEGs (342) in the PNS (DRG, TG) as compared to the CNS (MED, SC, Cortex) (143). ELP1 dose-responsive genes are only found in DRG, TG, and MED, not in Cortex or SC, tissues. Gene Ontology analyses of both DEGs and ELP1-dose-responsive genes highlight the regulation of neurotransmitters. The transcriptome-wide signals were highly convergent between PNS tissues (DRG and TG) but not among CNS tissues. Those convergent genes were enriched for known protein-protein interactions and cell type-specific markers defining myelinated neurons and peptidergic nociceptors. Our findings support the involvement of specific neuronal subtypes underlying the PNS phenotypes in FD. Our study comprehensively investigates transcriptome-wide alterations in FD neuronal tissues and identifies the functional dysregulations in the peripheral nervous system contributing to disease.

Co-development of central and peripheral neurons with trunk mesendoderm in human elongating multi-lineage organized gastruloids.

Project description:Stem cell technologies including self-assembling 3D tissue models provide access to early human neurodevelopment and fundamental insights into neuropathologies. Gastruloid models have not been used to investigate co-developing central and peripheral neuronal systems with trunk mesendoderm which we achieve here in elongating multi-lineage organized (EMLO) gastruloids. We evaluate EMLOs over a forty-day period, applying immunofluorescence of multi-lineage and functional biomarkers, including day 16 single-cell RNA-Seq, and evaluation of ectodermal and non-ectodermal neural crest cells (NCCs). We identify NCCs that differentiate to form peripheral neurons integrated with an upstream spinal cord region after day 8. This follows initial EMLO polarization events that coordinate with endoderm differentiation and primitive gut tube formation during multicellular spatial reorganization. This combined human central-peripheral nervous system model of early organogenesis highlights developmental events of mesendoderm and neuromuscular trunk regions and enables systemic studies of tissue interactions and innervation of neuromuscular, enteric and cardiac relevance.

Multi-axial self-organisation properties of mouse embryonic stem cells into gastruloids [individual]

Project description:Gastruloids, small aggregates of murine Embryonic Stem (ES) cells stimulated to undergo gastrulation-like symmetry breaking events in vitro (van den Brink, S. C. et al. 2014, Simunovic, M. & Brivanlou, A. H 2017). Analysis of the transcriptional profiles from pools of gastruloids collected at different time-points after aggregation (AA) revealed that gastruloids are capable of organizing an axially integrated post-occipital pattern of neural, mesodermal and endodermal derivatives that mimics that of the embryo in terms of gene expression. To test the homogeneity and reproducibility of the transcriptional programs uncovered by our bulked RNAseq experiments, we performed RNAseq analysis of individual gastruloids collected at different time-points AA (10 biological replicates per time-point). Our results indicates that the transcriptional profiles of gastruloid were highly reproducible at each time points and that each gastruloid implement the full diversity of transcriptional programs detected in our bulked RNAseq experiments.

Generation of CNS neural stem cells and PNS derivatives from neural crest derived peripheral stem cells [Dataset 2]

Project description:Neural crest-derived neural stem cells (NCSCs) from the embryonic PNS can be reprogrammed in neurosphere culture (NS) to rNCSCs that produce CNS progeny, including myelinating oligodendrocytes. Using global gene expression analysis we now demonstrate that rNCSCs completely lose their previous PNS characteristics and acquire the identity of neural stem cells derived from embryonic spinal cord (SCSCs). Reprogramming proceeds rapidly and results in a homogenous population of Olig2-, Sox3- and Lex-positive CNS stem cells. Low-level expression of pluripotency inducing genes Oct4, Nanog and Klf4 argues against a transient pluripotent state during reprogramming. The acquisition of CNS properties is prevented in the presence of BMP4 (BMP NCSCs) as shown by marker gene expression and the potential to produce PNS neurons and glia. In addition, genes characteristic for mesenchymal and perivascular progenitors are expressed, which suggests that BMP NCSCs are directed towards a pericyte progenitor/mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) fate. Adult NCSCs from mouse palate, an easily accessible source of adult NCSCs, display strikingly similar properties. They do not generate cells with CNS characteristics but lose the neural crest markers Sox10 and p75 and produce MSCs. These findings show that embryonic NCSCs acquire a full CNS identity in neurosphere culture. In contrast, MSCs are generated from adult pNCSCs and BMP NCSCs, which reveals that postmigratory NCSCs are a source for MSCs up to the adult stage. Affymetrix Mouse 430_2 arrays were used to compare the gene expression profiles of embryonic DRG-derived reprogrammed NCSCs and adult NCSCs from mouse palate.
