BRG1 ChIP-Seq on E12.5 WT and LncBAR-KO (KO) neurospheres (passage 3)

ABSTRACT: Neocortical projection neurons of mammalian brains are largely direct daughters of intermediate progenitors (IP), which are progenies of radial glial cells (RG). The maintenance of the RG pool, production and expansion of IPs are essential for neocortical formation during development, as well as neocortical expansion during evolution. Here we characterized an epigenetic circuit that controls precise neurogenic programming of the neocortex. The circuit comprises a long non-coding RNA – LncBAR and the SWI/SNF (BAF) chromatin-remodeling complex, which transcriptionally maintains the expression of Zbtb20. LncBAR knockout neocortex contains fewer upper-layer projection neurons. Intriguingly, loss of LncBAR promotes IP production of RGCs, but hampers neurogenic division and lengthens the cell-cycle durations of IPs during mid-later cortical neurogenesis. Moreover, in LncBAR knockout mice, depletion of the neural progenitor pool at embryonic stage causes fewer adult neural stem cells at the subventricular zone, leading to compromised adult neurogenesis to replenish the olfactory bulb. LncBAR binds to BRG1, the core enzymatic component of the SWI/SNF (BAF) chromatin-remodeling complex. LncBAR depletion enhances association of BRG1 with and the genomic locus of, and suppresses the expression of Zbtb20, a transcription factor gene known to regulate both embryonic and adult neurogenesis. ZBTB20 re-expression in LncBAR-knockout neural precursors reversed compromised neurogenic divisions of IPCs. Together, we revealed a previously unidentified epigenetic machinery to control neurogenesis of neural precursors.

PRDM16 regulates a temporal transcriptional program to promote progression of cortical neural progenitors

Project description:Radial glia (RG) in the neocortex sequentially generate distinct subtypes of projection neurons, accounting for the diversity and complex assembly of cortical neural circuits. Mechanisms that drive the rapid and precise temporal progression of RG are beginning to be elucidated. Here we reveal that the RG-specific transcriptional regulator PRDM16 promotes the transition of early to late phase of neurogenesis in the mouse neocortex. Loss of Prdm16 delays the timely progression of RG, leading to defective cortical laminar organization. Our genomic analyses demonstrate that PRDM16 regulates a subset of genes that are dynamically expressed between early and late neurogenesis. We show that PRDM16 suppresses target gene expression through limiting chromatin accessibility of permissive enhancers. We further confirm that critical target genes regulated by PRDM16 comprise neuronal specification genes, cell cycle regulators and molecules required for neuronal migration. These findings provide evidences to support that neural progenitors temporally shift gene expression program to achieve neural cell diversity.

RNA-binding proteins Cugbp1 and HuD regulate neocortical projection neuron identities under the translational control of Neurotrophin-3

Project description:Intrinsic molecular pathways in the central nervous system dictate neuronal cell fate during development. However, interplay of RNA binding proteins (RBPs) dictating mRNA translation, and their spatiotemporal extracellular regulators in neocortical neural stem cells during neurogenesis are poorly understood. Using an unbiased RNAseq screen of polysomes between early and mid-neurogenesis, we identified functionally related mRNA groups and their isoforms are regulated translationally in prenatal neocortices, including mRNAs encoding RBPs. Here, we show that isoforms of the RBP, Hu antigen D (HuD), regulate the balance of neocortical glutamatergic neurons in an isoform-specific manner during development. HuD3 promoted a Cdp+ intracortically projecting neuronal fate, while HuD4 promoted a Tle4+ subcortically projecting neuronal fate. In early neurogenic radial glia of the neocortex, HuD transcripts were bound and translationally repressed by another RBP, CUG triplet repeat RNA-binding protein 1 (Cugbp1). Cugbp1 knockdown increased the number of Cdp+ intracortically projecting neurons, while having distinct effects on Tle4+ and Ctip2+ subcortically projecting neurons. Neurotrophin-3 promoted HuD3 mRNA translation and Cdp+ fate, which was reversed by Cugbp1. Thus, our findings reveal a novel post-transcriptional molecular pathway in the developing neocortex that regulates the balance of distinct subpopulations of neocortical projection neurons.

Expression profiles in response to HMGA overexpression in late-stage neural precursor cells

Project description:Neural precursor cells (NPCs) in the mammalian neocortex generate various neuronal and glial cell types in a developmental stage-dependent manner. Most neocortical NPCs lose their neurogenic potential after birth. We have previously shown that high mobility group A (HMGA) proteins confer the neurogenic potential on early-stage NPCs during the midgestation period, although the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Here we performed microarray analysis and compared expression profiles between control and HMGA2-overexpressed NPCs. Mouse neocortical neuroepithelial cells were isolated at embryonic day 11.5 and cultured as neurospheres for 9 days in vitro in the presence of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 2 and epidermal growth factor (EGF). These cells were infected with control or HMGA2-expressing retrovirus, cultured in the presence of FGF and EGF for 3 days. Half of them were collected immediately for microarray analysis, and the other half were cultured in the absence of FGF for 12 h and then collected for microarray analysis.

Identification of a core cross-regulatory neurogenic network regulated by the transcription factor Pax6 interacting with Brg1-containing SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex

Project description:The molecular mechanisms of neurogenic fate determination are of particular importance in light of the need to regenerate neurons. However the molecular logic of neurogenic fate determination is still ill understood, even though some key transcription factors have been implicated. Here we describe how one of these, the transcription factor Pax6, regulates adult neurogenesis by initiating a cross-regulatory network of 3 transcription factors executing neuronal fate and regulating genes required for neuronal differentiation. This network is initiated and driven to sufficiently high expression levels by the transcription factor Pax6 in close interaction with Brg1-containing SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling factors. Genetic deletion of either Pax6 or Brg1, the ATPase unit of the SWI/SNF complex, in neural stem cells of the adult mouse subependymal zone results in a fate conversion to distinct glial subtypes most pronounced when neuroblasts leave the neurogenic niche. Consistent with the phenocopy in vivo virtually all genes down-regulated by Brg1 deletion have Pax6-binding motifs. Amongst the few down-stream transcription factors are Sox11, Nfib and Brn4 that crossregulate each other and rescue neurogenesis also in direct reprogramming in the absence of Brg1 (or Pax6). Thus the function of Pax6-SWI/SNF is necessary and sufficient for neuronal fate maintenance and initiates a cross-regulatory effector network required for neuronal fate execution and maintenance to counteract glial differentiation in the adult brain. This identifies a novel role highly specific role of a chromatin-remodelling complex in stabilizing fate decisions in normal and forced neurogenesis. We performed gene expression microarray analysis on tissue derived from the SEZ or from the core region of the olfactory bulb from Brg1 cKO and control mice

Meningeal-derived retinoic acid regulates neurogenesis via suppression of Notch and Sox2 [CUT&Run]

Project description:During development, the meninges act as a regulator of neocortical development by secreting ligands that act on neural cells to regulate neurogenesis and neuronal migration. Meninges-derived retinoic acid (RA) promotes neocortical progenitor cell cycle exit however the underlying mechanism is unknown. Here, we use Foxc1-mutant embryos that lack meninges-derived ligands, spatial transcriptomics, and profiling of retinoic-acid receptor-a (RARa) DNA binding to identify the neurogenic transcriptional mechanisms of RA signaling in cortical neural progenitors. We determined that meningeal-derived RA controls neurogenesis by suppressing self-renewal pathways Notch signaling and the transcription factor Sox2. We show that RARα binds in the Sox2ot promoter, a long non-coding RNA that regulates Sox2 expression, and RA promotes Sox2ot expression in neocortical progenitors. Our findings elucidate a previously unknown mechanism of howmeningeal RA coordinates neocortical development and insight into how defects in meningeal develop can cause neurodevelopmental disorders.

Chromatin remodeler Brahma safeguards labile canalization of cardiac mesoderm differentiation

Project description:Differentiation proceeds along a continuum of increasingly fate-restricted intermediates, referred to as canalization. Canalization is essential for stabilizing cell fate, but mechanisms underlying robust canalization are unclear. Here we show that the BRG1/BRM-associated factor (BAF) chromatin remodeling complex ATPase gene Brm safeguards cell identity during directed cardiogenesis of mouse embryonic stem cells. Despite establishment of well-differentiated precardiac mesoderm, Brm-null cells predominantly became neural precursors, violating germ layer assignment. Trajectory inference showed sudden acquisition of non-mesodermal identity in Brm-null cells, consistent with a new transition state referred to as a saddle-node bifurcation. Mechanistically, loss of Brm prevented de novo accessibility of cardiac enhancers while increasing expression of neurogenic factor POU3F1, preventing expression of neural suppressor REST, and disrupting composition of BRG1 complexes. Brm mutant identity switch was overcome by increasing BMP4 levels during mesoderm induction. Mathematical modeling supports all our observations. In the mouse embryo, Brm deletion exacerbated mesoderm-deleted Brg1 mutant phenotypes, severely compromising cardiogenesis, unmasking an in vivo role for Brm. Our results reveal Brm as a compensable safeguard of the fidelity of mesoderm chromatin states, and support a model in which developmental canalization is not a rigid irreversible path, but a highly plastic trajectory.

Histone methylation mediated by NSD1 is required for the establishment and maintenance of neuronal identities [WGBS]

Project description:The formation of the mammalian neocortex during development requires coordinated establishment of functional regions at proper anterior-posterior and medial-lateral positions – area patterning, as well as neocortical layers. Although key transcription factors (TFs) were known to specify and maintain cell fates, mechanisms underlying how TFs are precise expressed and repressed are largely elusive. Here we showed that NSD1, the methyltransferase for histone H3 lysine 36 dimethylation (H3K36me2), controls both areal and layer identities of the neocortex. Nsd1-ablated neocortex showed prominent areal shift of all four primary functional regions and aberrant wiring of major cortico-thalamic-cortical projections. Nsd1 conditional knockout mice displayed defects in spatial memory, motor learning and coordination, reminiscent of patients with the Sotos syndrome carrying NSD1 mutations. Although projection neurons (PN) of neocortical layers were mostly properly produced and positioned upon Nsd1 deletion, post-mitotic PNs could not establish their layer-specific identities. More strikingly, in adult Nsd1 conditional knockout neocortices, superficial-layer PNs progressively mis-expressed markers for deep-layer PNs. Moreover, neocortical PNs ablated with Nsd1 remained immature morphologically and electrophysiologically. Loss of NSD1 in post-mitotic PNs causes genome-wide loss of H3K36me2 and re-distribution of DNA methylation, which accounts for diminished expression of neocortical layer specifiers but ectopic expression of non-neural genes. Our findings revealed that H3K36me2 mediated by NSD1 is required for establishment and maintenance of region- and layer-specific neocortical identities.
