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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Expression data from whole lateral ventricle choroid plexus tissue of young (two months old) and aged (eighteen months old) CD1 male mice.

Project description:We used microarrays to reveal the global expression profiles of young and old whole lateral ventricle choroid plexus tissue. RNA was isolated from whole lateral ventricle choroid plexus tissue followed by RNA amplification and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Each sample contains both lateral ventricle choroid plexi from one male CD1 mouse. A total of six samples (three biological replicates from 2 different ages) were analyzed.

Spatially heterogeneous choroid plexus transcriptomes encode positional identity and contribute to regional cerebrospinal fluid production

Project description:A sheet of choroid plexus epithelial cells extends into each cerebral ventricle and secretes signaling factors into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). To evaluate whether differences in the CSF proteome across ventricles arise, in part, from regional differences in choroid plexus gene expression, we defined the transcriptome of lateral ventricle (telencephalic) vs. fourth ventricle (hindbrain) choroid plexus. We find that positional identities of mouse, macaque, and human choroid plexi derive from gene expression domains that parallel their axial tissues of origin. We then show that molecular heterogeneity between telencephalic and hindbrain choroid plexi contributes to region-specific, age-dependent protein secretion in vitro. Transcriptome analysis of FACS-purified choroid plexus epithelial cells also predicts their cell type-specific secretome. Spatial domains with distinct protein expression profiles were observed within each choroid plexus. We propose that regional differences between choroid plexi contribute to dynamic signaling gradients across the mammalian cerebroventricular system.

Analysis of differential gene expression in the choroid plexus (ChP) of P60 mice at 9am and 9pm

Project description:3 mice per timepoint (9am and 9pm) with FoxJ1-Cre x TRAP-BAC-EGFP:L10a dissected choroid plexus. Transmission and secretion of signals via the choroid plexus (ChP) brain barrier can modulate brain states via regulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) composition. Here, we developed a platform to analyze diurnal variations in male mouse ChP and CSF. Ribosome profiling of ChP epithelial cells revealed diurnal translatome differences in metabolic machinery, secreted proteins, and barrier components. Using ChP and CSF metabolomics and blood-CSF barrier analyses, we observed diurnal changes in metabolites and cellular junctions. We then focused on transthyretin (TTR), a diurnally regulated thyroid hormone chaperone secreted by the ChP. Diurnal variation in ChP TTR depended on Bmal1 clock gene expression. We achieved real-time tracking of CSF-TTR in awake TtrmNeonGreen mice via multi-day intracerebroventricular fiber photometry. Diurnal changes in ChP and CSF TTR levels correlated with CSF thyroid hormone levels. These datasets highlight an integrated platform for investigating diurnal control of brain states by the ChP and CSF.

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.

Analysis of differential gene expression in the choroid plexus (ChP) of E16.5 and P60 mice

Project description:Age-appropriate regulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics including production, flow, and clearance (e.g. via glymphatics and dural lymphatics) is essential for brain health. The choroid plexus (ChP) is an important compartment in CSF dynamics but its contribution is poorly understood. To identify temporally regulated ChP epithelial cell functions that may relate to increased ATP demand, we investigated transcripts that are prioritized for translation, therefore reflecting the functional preference of the ChP tissue. We employed Translating Ribosomal Affinity Purification. We identified ChP Na-K-Cl co-transporter [NKCC1] as developmentally regulated, in both expression and function, by mechanisms ranging from epigenetic (NuRD) to post-translational, coupled with increased ATP production. Premature NKCC1 overexpression in ChP accelerated CSF [K+] reduction, reduced ventricle size, and increased intracranial compliance by adulthood as measured by a murine intracranial pressu re monitor paired serially with MRI. Our data point to a critical developmental period when ChP transiently absorbs CSF through NKCC1-mediated K+ transport, which bears implications on lifelong brain fluid homeostasis and health.

Choroid plexus targeted gene therapy for the treatment of post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus

Project description:A subset of infants and adults with hemorrhagic stroke and intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) ultimately develop a life-threatening accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), termed post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH). An incomplete understanding of this variably progressive condition has hampered the development of new therapies beyond serial neurosurgical interventions. We describe an adeno-associated viral (AAV) gene augmentation approach leveraging the Na-K-Cl cotransporter, NKCC1, to enhance a choroid plexus (ChP) mechanism of CSF surveillance, potassium homeostasis, and water movement to drive decreases in ventricle size in embryonic, neonatal, and adult mouse models of IVH. Intraventricular blood led to increased CSF [K+], triggered cytosolic calcium in ChP epithelial cells, and was followed by NKCC1 activation. ChP-targeted AAV-NKCC1 rapidly reversed blood-induced ventriculomegaly and led to persistently increased CSF clearance capacity, validating the model and treating the most salient clinical features of PHH. NKCC1 is a bi-directional cotransporter, and these data demonstrate that NKCC1 activation triggered a trans-choroidal, NKCC1-dependent CSF ion/water clearance out of the ventricle. Inactive, phosphodeficient AAV-NKCC1-NT51 failed to mitigate ventriculomegaly, indicating that the beneficial effects of NKCC1 augmentation required both elevated CSF [K+] and upstream activation via phosphorylation. Excessive CSF [K+] fluctuations correlated with permanent shunting outcome in humans following hemorrhagic stroke, suggesting potential therapeutic benefits. Collectively, these data highlight a novel role for the ChP in rapid compensation for alterations in CSF homeostasis following IVH and demonstrate the utility of targeted gene therapy to mitigate intracranial fluid accumulation following hemorrhage.

Characterization of the choroid plexus role in Alzheimer’s disease pathophysiology

Project description:Structural and functional changes of the choroid plexus (ChP) have been reported in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Nonetheless, the role of the ChP in the pathogenesis of AD remains largely unknown. We aim to unravel the relation between ChP functioning and core AD pathogenesis using a unique proteomic approach in mice and humans. We used an APP knock-in mouse model, APPNL-G-F, exhibiting amyloid pathology, to study the association between AD brain pathology and protein changes in mouse ChP tissue and CSF using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. Mouse proteomes were investigated at the age of 7 weeks (n=5) and 40 weeks (n=5). Results were compared with existing human AD CSF proteomic data (n=496) to identify key proteins and pathways associated with ChP changes in AD.

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.
