Project description:The most frequent genetic cause of focal epilepsies is variations in the GAP activity toward RAGs 1 complex genes DEP domain containing 5 (DEPDC5), nitrogen permease regulator 2-like protein (NPRL2) and nitrogen permease regulator 3-like protein (NPRL3). Because these variations are frequent and associated with a broad spectrum of focal epilepsies, a unique pathology categorized as GATORopathy can be conceptualized. Animal models recapitulating the clinical features of patients are essential to decipher GATORopathy. Although several genetically modified animal models recapitulate DEPDC5-related epilepsy, no models have been reported for NPRL2- or NPRL3-related epilepsies. Here, we conditionally deleted Nprl2 and Nprl3 from the dorsal telencephalon in mice [Emx1cre/+; Nprl2f/f (Nprl2-cKO) and Emx1cre/+; Nprl3f/f (Nprl3-cKO)] and compared their phenotypes with Nprl2+/-, Nprl3+/- and Emx1cre/+; Depdc5f/f (Depdc5-cKO) mice. Nprl2-cKO and Nprl3-cKO mice recapitulated the major abnormal features of patients-spontaneous seizures, and dysmorphic enlarged neuronal cells with increased mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 signaling-similar to Depdc5-cKO mice. Chronic postnatal rapamycin administration dramatically prolonged the survival period and inhibited seizure occurrence but not enlarged neuronal cells in Nprl2-cKO and Nprl3-cKO mice. However, the benefit of rapamycin after withdrawal was less durable in Nprl2- and Nprl3-cKO mice compared with Depdc5-cKO mice. Further studies using these conditional knockout mice will be useful for understanding GATORopathy and for the identification of novel therapeutic targets.

Project description:Haplo-insufficiency of TCF4 induced by mutations or microdeletion of TCF4 gene causes Pitt-Hopkins Diseases. Recent gene association studies revealed that mutations of TCF4 is significantly associated with schizophrenia. But the role of TCF4 in developing neocortex is not known. The goal of this study is to identify TCF4 itranscriptional regulatory pathways in developing neocortex by analyzing transcriptomes of dorsal telencephalons of TCF4knockout, TCF4Heterozygote and WT littermates and comparing differential expressed genes between these genotypes.

Project description:Gene expression differs between cell types and regions within complex tissues such as the developing brain. To discover regulatory elements underlying this specificity, we generated genome-wide maps of chromatin accessibility in nine anatomically-defined regions of the developing human telencephalon. Additionally, we defined the histone modification landscape of the prefrontal cortex and generated chromatin accessibility maps of its upper and deep layers. We predicted a subset of open chromatin regions (18%) that are most likely to be active enhancers, many of which are dynamic with 26% differing between early and late mid-gestation and 28% present in only one brain region. These predicted regulatory elements (pREs) are enriched proximal to genes with expression differences across developmental stages, regions, and cortical laminae; they harbor distinct sequence motifs that suggest potential upstream regulators. We leveraged this atlas to predict and validate novel regulatory elements of genes that control cortex laminar identity and genes associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). These include enhancers proximal to FEZF2 and BCL11A that were validated in mouse, and an enhancer of ASD gene SLC6A1 containing two functional de novo mutations in individuals with ASD whose enhancer function we validated via CRISPRa. These applications demonstrate the utility of this atlas for decoding neurodevelopmental gene regulation in health and disease.

Project description:MYST4 (QKF/KAT6B/MORF) is an important regulator of brain development and function through its regulation of gene expression. Genetic targets of MYST4 are currently unknown. We have therefore carried out microarrays comparing gene expression in wild type and Qkf mouse tissues, namely the dorsal cortex and E12.5 dorsal telencephalon, to elucidate genetic targets of MYST4.

Project description:The mammalian telencephalon plays critical roles in cognition, motor function, and emotion. While many of the genes required for its development have been identified, the distant‐acting regulatory sequences orchestrating their in vivo expression are mostly unknown. Here we describe a digital atlas of in vivo enhancers active in subregions of the developing telencephalon. We identified over 4,600 candidate embryonic forebrain enhancers and studied the in vivo activity of 329 of these sequences in transgenic mouse embryos. We generated serial sets of histological brain sections for 145 reproducible forebrain enhancers, resulting in a publicly accessible web‐based enhancer atlas comprising over 33,000 sections. We show how this large collection of annotated telencephalon enhancers can be used to study the regulatory architecture of individual genes, to examine the sequence motif content of enhancers, and to drive targeted reporter or effector protein expression in experimental applications. Furthermore, we used epigenomic analysis of human and mouse cortex tissue to directly compare the genome‐wide enhancer architecture in these species. This atlas provides a primary resource for investigating gene regulatory mechanisms of telencephalon development and enables studies of the role of distant‐acting enhancers in neurodevelopmental disorders.

Project description:Ruminants have a semi-invasive placenta, which possess highly vascularized placentomes formed by maternal endometrial caruncles and fetal placental cotyledons and required for fetal development to term. The synepitheliochorial placenta of cattle contains at least two trophoblast cell populations, including uninucleate (UNC) and binucleate (BNC) cells that are most abundant in the cotyledonary chorion of the placentomes. The interplacentomal placenta is more epitheliochorial in nature with the chorion developing specialized areolae over the openings of uterine glands. Of note, the cell types in the placenta and cellular and molecular mechanisms governing trophoblast differentiation and function are little understood in ruminants. To fill this knowledge gap, the cotyledonary and intercotyledonary areas of the mature day 195 bovine placenta were analyzed by single nuclei analysis. Single-nuclei RNA-seq analysis found substantial differences in cell type composition and transcriptional profiles between the two distinct regions of the placenta. Based on clustering and cell marker gene expression, five different trophoblast cell types were identified in the chorion, including proliferating and differentiating UNC and two different types of BNC in the cotyledon. Cell trajectory analyses provided a framework for understanding the differentiation of trophoblast UNC into BNC. The upstream transcription factor binding analysis of differentially expressed genes identified a candidate set of regulator factors and genes regulating trophoblast differentiation. This foundational information is useful to discover essential biological pathways underpinning the development and function of the bovine placenta.

Project description:We then examined the mutant mice that lack both Dmrt3 and Dmrta2 alleles, and found the size of the medial cortex including the hippocampus and the cortical hem was significantly reduced in mutant brains .To further investigate how Dmrt3 and Dmrta2 are involved in the development of the medial cortex, we applied gene expression profiling approach using whole genome DNA microarray to identify genes which are differentially expressed in Dmrt3/Dmrta2-knockdown cells. Cortical cells knocked-down both Dmrt3 and Dmrta2 exhibited a dramatic increase of Pax6 expression in the medial cortex, leading to the precocious neuronal differentiation, and simultaneous knockdown of Pax6 with Dmrt3/Dmrta2 rescued the phenotype. Our results unveil a key mechanism that mammalian Dmrt factors maintain more proliferative potential of neural progenitors by suppressing Pax6 expression in the developing cerebral cortex.

Project description:Pax6 is one of the important transcription factors involved in regional specification and neurogenesis in the developing cortex. To identify candidate target genes of Pax6, we performed transcriptome analyses of wild-type (WT) and Pax6 homozygous mutant rats (rSey2/rSey2) telencephalons at E11.5 within a day of onset of Pax6 expression. In our transcriptome analyses, down-regulated genes in the rSey2/rSey2 rat exhibited larger fold changes, whereas up-regulated genes had relatively small fold changes.
