Lipid droplet availability affects neural stem/progenitor cell metabolism and proliferation

ABSTRACT: Neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) generate new neurons throughout adulthood. However, the underlying regulatory processes are still not fully understood. Lipid metabolism plays an important role in regulating NSPC activity: build-up of lipids is crucial for NSPC proliferation, whereas break-down of lipids has been shown to regulate NSPC quiescence. Despite their central role for cellular lipid metabolism, the role of lipid droplets (LDs), the lipid storing organelles, in NSPCs remains underexplored. Here we show that LDs are highly abundant in adult mouse NSPCs, and that LD accumulation is significantly altered upon fate changes such as quiescence and differentiation. NSPC proliferation is influenced by the number of LDs, inhibition of LD build-up, breakdown or usage, and the asymmetric inheritance of LDs during mitosis. Furthermore, high LD-containing NSPCs have increased metabolic activity and capacity, but do not suffer from increased oxidative damage. Together, these data indicate an instructive role for LDs in driving NSPC behaviour.

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.

Metabolic control of adult neural stem cell self-renewal by the mitochondrial protease YME1L

Project description:The transition between quiescence and activation in neural stem and progenitor cells (NSPCs) is coupled to reversible changes in energy metabolism with key implications for life-long NSPC self-renewal and neurogenesis. How this metabolic plasticity is ensured between NSPC activity states is unclear. We find that a state-specific rewiring of the mitochondrial proteome by the i-AAA peptidase YME1L is required to preserve NSPC self-renewal. YME1L controls the abundance of numerous mitochondrial substrates in quiescent NSPCs, and its deletion activates a differentiation program characterized by broad metabolic changes causing the irreversible shift away from a fatty acid oxidation-dependent state. Conditional Yme1l deletion in adult NSPCs in vivo results in defective self-renewal and premature differentiation, ultimately leading to NSPC pool depletion. Our results disclose an important role for YME1L in coordinating the switch between metabolic states of NSPCs and suggest that NSPC fate is regulated by compartmentalized changes in protein network dynamics.

Mitochondrial pyruvate metabolism regulates the activation of quiescent adult neural stem cells

Project description:Cellular metabolism is important for adult neural stem/progenitor cell (NSPC) behavior. However, its role in the transition from quiescence to proliferation is not fully understood. We here show that the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) plays a crucial and unexpected part in this process. MPC transports pyruvate into mitochondria, linking cytosolic glycolysis to mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. Despite its metabolic key function, the role of MPC in NSPCs has not been addressed. We show that quiescent NSPCs have an active mitochondrial metabolism and express high levels of MPC. Pharmacological MPC inhibition increases aspartate and triggers NSPC activation. Furthermore, genetic Mpc1 ablation in vitro and in vivo also activates NSPCs, which differentiate into mature neurons, leading to overall increased hippocampal neurogenesis in adult and aged mice. These findings highlight the importance of metabolism for NSPC regulation and identify an important pathway through which mitochondrial pyruvate import controls NSPC quiescence and activation.

Metabolic control of adult neural stem cell activity by FASN-dependent lipogenesis

Project description:Mechanisms controlling the proliferative activity of neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) play a pivotal role to ensure life-long neurogenesis in the mammalian brain. How metabolic programs are coupled with NSPC activity remains unknown. Here we show that fatty acid synthase (FASN), the key enzyme of de novo lipogenesis, is highly active in adult NSPCs and that conditional deletion of FASN in NSPCs impairs adult neurogenesis. The rate of de novo lipid synthesis and subsequent proliferation of NSPCs is regulated by Spot14, a gene we found to be selectively expressed in low proliferating adult NSPCs. Spot14 reduces the availability of malonyl-CoA, which is an essential substrate for FASN to fuel lipogenesis. Thus, we here identified a functional coupling between the regulation of lipid metabolism and adult NSPC proliferation. 6 samples were analyzed. Spot14+: Spot14 GFP positive mouse neural stem cell, 3 biological rep Spot14-: Spot14 GFP negative mouse neural stem cell, 3 biological rep

Systematic genome perturbation reveals coordination of lipid droplets and metabolic gene regulation

Project description:Lipid droplets (LDs) store lipids for metabolic energy and are central to cellular lipid homeostasis. The mechanisms coordinating lipid storage in LDs with cellular metabolism are unclear but relevant to obesity-related diseases. Here we utilized genome-wide screening to identify genes that modulate lipid storage in human macrophages, a cell type relevant to metabolic diseases. Among ~550 genes regulating lipid storage, we identify MLX, a basic helix-loop-helix leucine-zipper transcription factor that regulates multiple metabolic processes. We show that MLX and family members MLXIP/MondoA and MLXIPL/ChREBP bind LDs via C-terminal amphipathic helices. When LDs increase in cells, LD binding of MLX, MLXIP/MondoA, and MLXIPL/ChREBP reduces their transcriptional activity, whereas the absence of LDs results in hyperactivation. Our findings uncover an unexpected component to a lipid storage response, in which binding of MLX transcription factors to the LD surface modulates their activity, adjusting the expression of metabolic genes to lipid storage levels.

Lipid droplet-associated Drosophila protein CG9186 interacting proteins

Project description:Intracellular lipids are stored in dedicated organelles called lipid droplets (LDs). While the primary purpose of the storage lipids is fueling the energy demands of cells and organisms, LDs additionally participate in multifmultivarious cellular functions such as the production of lipid hormones, or the role as protein storage depots. The proteins associated with LDs are key to the diverse LD functions. Lipid deposits not only reflect the nutritional status of an organism, but they also affect many organismic parameters such as vitality, food intake, or signaling pathway activities. Currently, we only incompletely understand the mechanism(s) of this cross talk. Here, we functionally characterize the evolutionary conserved LD-associated protein CG9186.

Expression data from proliferating and quiescent adult hippocampal neural stem and progenitor cells

Project description:We have characterized the transcriptome of adult rat hippocampal neural stem and progenitor cell (NSPC) cultures. The NSPCs cultures can be reversibly arrested by the quiescence-promoting signal BMP4. We provide expression data from NSPCs grown as neurospheres for 4 days in vitro in the presence of FGF2 (proliferating NSPCs) or FGF2+BMP4 (quiescent NSPCs) showing that entry into quiescence involves major changes in the transcriptional profile of the cells.

FASN-dependent metabolism links neurogenic stem/progenitor cell activity to intellectual disability

Project description:Failure of neural stem/progenitor cell (NSPC) activity and subsequently neurogenesis during brain development has been linked to cognitive impairment and intellectual disability. However, it remains unclear if changes in metabolism, recently discovered as a key regulator of somatic stem cell activity, contribute to altered neurogenesis and cognitive deficits in humans. To investigate a link between NSPC-associated lipid metabolism and brain development, we generated mice and human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) mimicking a variant in fatty acid synthase (FASN; R1819W), a metabolic regulator of rodent NSPC activity recently identified in humans with intellectual disability. Mice homozygous for the FASN R1812W variant have impaired hippocampal NSPC activity associated with cognitive impairment due to presumed toxic accumulation of lipids in NSPCs and subsequent lipogenic ER stress. Human NSPCs homozygous for the FASN R1819W variant show reduced rates of proliferation in embryonic 2D cultures and 3D forebrain regionalized organoids, revealing that the functional significance of lipid metabolism for neurogenic proliferation of progenitors is conserved between rodents and humans. By taking a disease modeling approach, using mouse and human tissue genome engineering, our data provide genetic evidence for a link between altered lipid metabolism, NSPC activity and brain function.
