Single cell sequencing unravels the cellular diversity that shapes neuro- and gliogenesis in the fast aging killifish (N. furzeri) brain

ABSTRACT: The African turquoise killifish combines a short lifespan with age-dependent loss of neuroregenerative capacity, making it a well-suited model for studying brain repair mechanisms in the context of aging. To investigate the extent of cellular diversity that shapes neuro- and gliogenesis, we performed single cell sequencing of the adult telencephalon. Our analysis identifies seventeen cell types including neuronal cells, and progenitors of glial and non-glial nature. Further subclustering unveils four radial glia (RG) types, one atypical non-glial progenitor (NGP) and two intermediate subtypes. Validation of our data in situ reveals a distinct spatial setting for defined RG subtypes, reflecting the distribution of morphologically and physiologically distinct populations. Lineage inference analysis suggests neuroepithelial-like radial glia and NGP to be the start point and intercessor of neural development, respectively. Neuronal sub-clustering uncovers immature and mature excitatory or inhibitory sub-clusters. This complete catalogue of killifish telencephalon cell types is accessible via an online tool, providing a resource to understand neurogenesis in healthy brains and upon injury or disease.

Single-cell transcriptome profiling of radial glia cells in zebrafish adult telencephalon in response to traumatic brain injury

Project description:In zebrafish brain, radial glia cells (RG) show a remarkable ability to regenerate damaged neural tissue by reentering cell proliferation and produce neural precursors. To understand how RG respond to brain damage and initiate the regenerative response, we applied single-cell transcriptome analysis to RG in zebrafish adult telencephalon.

Transcription profiling of mouse functionally distinct radial glial subsets

Project description:Since the discovery of radial glia as the source of neurons, their heterogeneity in regard to neurogenesis has been described by clonal and time-lapse analysis in vitro. However, the molecular determinants specifying neurogenic radial glia differently from radial glia that mostly self-renew remain ill-defined. Here, we isolated two radial glial subsets that co-exist at mid-neurogenesis in the developing cerebral cortex and their immediate progeny. While one subset generates neurons directly, the other is largely non-neurogenic but also gives rise to Tbr2-positive basal precursors, thereby contributing indirectly to neurogenesis. Isolation of ; these distinct radial glia subtypes allowed determining interesting differences in their transcriptome. These transcriptomes were also strikingly different from the transcriptome of radial glia isolated at the end of neurogenesis. This analysis therefore identifies, for the first time, the lineage origin of basal progenitors and the molecular differences of this lineage in comparison to directly neurogenic and gliogenic radial glia.

Integrative single-cell transcriptomics clarifies adult neurogenesis and macroglia evolution

Project description:The evolution of nervous systems hinges on cell type diversification and specialization. Neural glia, also called macroglia, make up a large percentage of the total cell numbers in the brain of several species including humans and perform critical functions related to producing, maintaining and assiting neurons. Despite their importance, glial cells have been much less studied than neurons. Here, in order to investigate the heterogeneity of adult radial glial cells in zebrafish and to study the evolution of macroglia and the adult neurogenesis process they support, we generated a single cell RNAseq dataset of the adult zebrafish telencephalon enriched for radial glial cells using a sox2:gfp transgenic line.

Characterization of tumor initiating cells from human glioblastoma multiforms by scRNA seq

Project description:Radial Glia (RG) cells are the first neural stem cells to appear during embryonic development. Human embryonic RG cells demonstrates a specific set of gene expression compared to other type of progenitor cells. The goal of this study is to characterize the potential origine of tumor initiating cells of human glioblastoma multiforms by single cell RNASeq analyses of freshly sorted glioblastoma cells. The objectives are: 1)idetify RG-like cells in adult brain tumor; 2) reveal transcriptionally dynamic clusters of RG-like cells, that share the profiles of normal human fetal radial glia and that reside in quiescent and cycling states; 3) signaling pathways that mediate the transition among the different stages of RG-like cells; 4)genomic aberation analyses to reveal the potential hierarchical tree of RG-like cells.

Efficient generation of human cerebral organoids directly from adherent cultures of pluripotent stem cells

Project description:This is a simple and reproducible protocol in which the hCOs generated are homogeneous and develop properly presenting proliferative ventricular zones (VZs) formed by neural and radial glia (RG) precursors that differentiate to give rise to mature neurons and glia cells. The hCOs at four weeks of maturation present additional cell types such as oligodendrocyte precursors, astrocytes, microglia and endothelial cells as shown by single‐cell RNA sequencing (scRNA‐seq) and immunohistochemistry (IHC).

Senolytics improve the neurogenic potential of non-glial progenitors and neurorepair in the dorsal pallium of aged killifish independent of inflammation

Project description:With advancing age, senescent cells accumulate as they are not efficiently cleared by the immune system anymore. Via a senescence-associated secretory phenotype, chronic senescent cells alter the microenvironment, creating an unfavorable milieu for neurogenesis and neurorepair. Using an innovative and rapid aging model, the African turquoise killifish, we have previously demonstrated a dramatic decline in neurogenic potential of non-glial progenitors with age. Even after traumatic brain injury, progenitor proliferation and neuron production was very low in aged killifish in comparison to young adult killifish, and overall neurorepair was incomplete. In the present study, we validated if the senolytic cocktail dasatinib and quercetin (D+Q) could reboot the neurogenic output by clearing chronic senescent cells from the aged killifish brain to re-create the necessary supportive environment. Our results confirm that the aged killifish telencephalon holds a very high senescent cell burden, which we could diminish by short-term systemic D+Q treatment. As a consequence of D+Q administration, proliferation of non-glial progenitors increased and more new neurons were generated and migrated into the parenchyma after injury. Injury-induced inflammation and glial scarring, a phenomenon only seen in aged killifish, remained unaltered. Senolytic treatment with D+Q might thus hold promise for improving brain function in aged populations, and is especially interesting for reviving the neurogenic potential of an already aged central nervous system.

Fixed single-cell transcriptomic characterization of human radial glial diversity

Project description:The human neocortex is created from diverse progenitors that are intermixed with multiple cell types in the prenatal germinal zones. These progenitors have been difficult to profile with unbiased transcriptomics since progenitors-particularly radial glia (RG)-are rare cell types, defined by a combination of intracellular markers, position and morphology. To circumvent these problems, we developed a method called FRSCR for transcriptome profiling of individual fixed, stained, and sorted cells. After validation of FRSCR with human embryonic stem cells, we profiled primary human RG that constitute only 1% of the mid-gestation cortex. These data showed that RG could be classified into ventricle zone-enriched RG (vRG) that expressed ANXA1 and CRYAB, and outer subventricular zone-localized RG (oRG) that expressed HOPX. Our study identified the first markers and molecular profiles of vRG and oRG cells, and provides an essential step for understanding molecular networks that control the development and lineage of human neocortical progenitors. Furthermore, FRSCR allows targeted single-cell transcriptomic profiling of many tissues that currently lack live-cell markers.
