An epigenetic barrier in neural progenitor cells and early neurons set the timing of human neuronal maturation [ATAC-seq]

Project description:A challenge for understanding the development of brain circuits is to identify the factors that instruct neurons to accomplish each developmental steps at the appropriate stage. Neuronal maturation follows an intrinsic species-specific developmental pace that is extremely protracted in humans and that is retained during human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) differentiations. Using a novel platform that synchronized the generation of cortical neurons from hPSC, we established morphological, functional, and molecular roadmaps of maturation. We found that the temporal unfolding of maturation programs proceeds gradually and is limited by the retention of complex epigenetic signatures. Loss-of-function of multiple such epigenetic factors at the neuron stage triggered precocious molecular and functional maturation. Remarkably, transient pharmacological manipulation of a subset of epigenetic factors, including EZH2, EHMT1/2 and DOT1L, at the progenitor cell stage can prime precursors to reach enhanced molecular and functional signatures of maturity as neurons. Our results indicate that the rate at which neurons mature is set well before neurogenesis through the establishment of an “epigenetic barrier” in progenitor cells that gets slowly erased in neurons, allowing the gradual onset of maturation programs.

Impaired neuronal maturation of hippocampal neural progenitor cells in mice lacking CRAF.

Project description:RAF kinases are major constituents of the mitogen activated signaling pathway, regulating cell proliferation, differentiation and cell survival of many cell types, including neurons. In mammals, the family of RAF proteins consists of three members, ARAF, BRAF, and CRAF. Ablation of CRAF kinase in inbred mouse strains causes major developmental defects during fetal growth and embryonic or perinatal lethality. Heterozygous germline mutations in CRAF result in Noonan syndrome, which is characterized by neurocognitive impairment that may involve hippocampal physiology. The role of CRAF signaling during hippocampal development and generation of new postnatal hippocampal granule neurons has not been examined and may provide novel insight into the cause of hippocampal dysfunction in Noonan syndrome. In this study, by crossing CRAF-deficiency to CD-1 outbred mice, a CRAF mouse model was established which enabled us to investigate the interplay of neural progenitor proliferation and postmitotic differentiation during adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus. Albeit the general morphology of the hippocampus was unchanged, CRAF-deficient mice displayed smaller granule cell layer (GCL) volume at postnatal day 30 (P30). In CRAF-deficient mice a substantial number of abnormal, chromophilic, fast dividing cells were found in the subgranular zone (SGZ) and hilus of the dentate gyrus (DG), indicating that CRAF signaling contributes to hippocampal neural progenitor proliferation. CRAF-deficient neural progenitor cells showed an increased cell death rate and reduced neuronal maturation. These results indicate that CRAF function affects postmitotic neural cell differentiation and points to a critical role of CRAF-dependent growth factor signaling pathway in the postmitotic development of adult-born neurons.
