Developmental emergence of cortical neurogliaform cell diversity

ABSTRACT: GABAergic interneurons are key regulators of cortical circuit function. Among the dozens of reported transcriptionally distinct subtypes of cortical interneurons, neurogliaform cells (NGC) are unique: are recruited by long-range excitatory inputs and the primary source of slow cortical inhibition. Despite their functional importance, the developmental emergence and cellular diversity of NGCs remains unclear. Here, combining single-cell transcriptomics, genetic fate-mapping, electrophysiological morphological characterization, we reveal that discrete molecular subtypes of NGCs, with distinctive functional and anatomic profiles, populate the neocortex. Furthermore, we show that NGC subtypes emerge gradually through development, as incipient differential molecular signatures are apparent in Preoptic Area (POA) born NGC precursors. By identifying NGC developmentally-conserved transcriptional programs, we report that the transcription factor Tox2 constitutes an identity hallmark across NGC subtypes. Using CRISPR-Cas9-mediated genetic loss-of-function, we show that Tox2 is critical for NGC development: POA-born cells lacking Tox2 fail to differentiate into NGCs. Together, these results reveal that NGCs are born from a spatially restricted pool of Tox2+ POA precursors, after which intra-type diverging molecular programs are gradually acquired post-mitotically and result in functionally and molecularly discrete NGC cortical subtypes.

Individual Human Cortical Progenitors Can Produce Excitatory and Inhibitory Neurons

Project description:The cerebral cortex is a cellularly-complex structure comprised of a rich diversity of neuronal and glial cell types. Cortical neurons can be broadly categorized into two classes—glutamatergic excitatory neurons and GABAergic inhibitory interneurons. Previous developmental studies in rodents have led to the prevailing model that while excitatory neurons are born from progenitors located in the cortex, cortical interneurons are born from a separate population of progenitors located outside of the developing cortex in the ganglionic eminences1-5. However, the developmental potential of human cortical progenitors has not been thoroughly explored. Here we show that in addition to excitatory neurons and glia, human cortical progenitors are also capable of producing GABAergic neurons with the transcriptional characteristics and morphologies of cortical interneurons. By developing a cellular barcoding tool called “ScRNAseq-compatible Tracer for Identifying Clonal Relationships” (STICR), we were able to perform clonal lineage tracing of 1912 primary human cortical progenitors from six specimens and capture both the transcriptional identities and clonal relationships of their resulting progeny. A subpopulation of cortically-born GABAergic neurons were transcriptionally similar to cortical interneurons born from the caudal ganglionic eminence and these cells were frequently related to excitatory neurons and glia. Thus, our results demonstrate that individual human cortical progenitors can generate both excitatory neurons and cortical interneurons, providing a new framework for understanding the origins of neuronal diversity in the human cortex.

Dnmt1 deletion in Hmx3-positive POA-derived interneurons [MeDIP-seq]

Project description:The proliferative niches in the subpallium generate a rich cellular variety fated for diverse telencephalic regions. The embryonic preoptic area (POA) represents one of these domains giving rise to the pool of cortical GABAergic interneurons and glial cells, in addition to striatal and residual POA cells. The migration from sites of origin within the subpallium to the distant targets like the cerebral cortex, accomplished by the adoption and maintenance of a particular migratory morphology, is a critical step during interneuron development, which seems to be regulated partially via DNA methylation-dependent gene expression. To identify genes that are altered by DNA methylation mediated by DNMT1 in POA-derived Hmx3-positive interneurons, we used an Hmx3-Cre/tdTomato/Dnmt1loxP mouse model and FAC-sorted the basal telencephalon at E16. RNA and MeDIP sequencing were performed. MeDIP data are assigned here.

Heterogeneous fates of simultaneously-born neurons during early corticogenesis

Project description:We labelled isochronic cohorts of mouse cortical neurons and analyzed their contribution to the diversity of cortical neurons. We find that early born neurons contribute to a large diversity of cortical neuron subtypes, asa also confirmed by the transcsriptomic analysis of E13.5 born neurons through Patchseq. Ultimately we identify eaarly differentiation of early born neurons as the instance characterized by the highest tranascriptomical variability which intermingles deep layer identity genes with upper layer specific ones.

Expression data from purified medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) interneurons, 3 biological replicates

Project description:During development, newborn interneurons migrate throughout the embryonic brain. Here, we provide evidence that these interneurons act in a paracrine fashion to regulate developmental oligodendrocyte formation. Specifically, we show that medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) interneurons secrete factors that promote genesis of oligodendrocytes from glially-biased cortical precursors in culture. Moreover, when MGE interneurons are genetically ablated in vivo prior to their migration, this causes a deficit in cortical oligodendrogenesis. Modeling of the interneuron-precursor paracrine interaction using transcriptome data identifies the cytokine fractalkine as responsible for the pro-oligodendrocyte effect in culture. This paracrine interaction is important in vivo, since knockdown of the fractalkine receptor CX3CR1 in embryonic cortical precursors, or constitutive knockout of CX3CR1 causes decreased numbers of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) and oligodendrocytes in the postnatal cortex. Thus, in addition to their role in regulating neuronal excitability, interneurons act in a paracrine fashion to promote the developmental genesis of oligodendrocytes. We used microarrays to generate a list of expressed genes in purified medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) interneurons

Nova proteins direct synaptic integration of somatostatin interneurons through activity- dependent alternative splicing

Project description:Somatostatin interneurons are the earliest born population of inhibitory cells. They are crucial to support normal brain development and function; however, the mechanisms underlying their integration into nascent cortical circuitry are not well understood. In this study, we begin by demonstrating that the maturation of somatostatin interneurons is activity dependent. We then investigated the relationship between activity, alternative splicing and synapse formation within this population. Specifically, we discovered that the Nova family of RNA-binding proteins are activity-dependent and are essential for the maturation of somatostatin interneurons, as well as their afferent and efferent connectivity. Moreover, in somatostatin interneurons, Nova2 preferentially mediates the alternative splicing of genes required for axonal formation and synaptic function. Hence, our work demonstrates that the Nova family of proteins are centrally involved in coupling developmental neuronal activity to cortical circuit formation.

Comparative analysis of different cortical interneuron groups.

Project description:GABAergic interneuron in the cortex comprise a very heterogenous group. and it is critical to identify discrete interneuron types to understand how their contributions to behavior can be modulated by external and internal cues. However, molecular difinition of these interneuron cell groups has been difficult. Comparative analysis of different interneuron subtypes can provide us new candidate marker genes which could target more specific interneu?on cell group. Here we identify oxytocin responsive novel class of interneuron through our comparative analysis. We employed the bacTRAP strategy, which uses BAC transgenic mice expressing EGFP-tagged ribosomal protein L10a in specific cell populations, to affinity purify polysome-bound mRNAs from Nek7, Dlx1, Cort, Htr3a, Oxtr expressing cortical interneurons. We show that Oxtr expressing cells are a subtype of somatostatin positive interneurons. Three independent TRAP replicates were collected and total RNA from the immunoprecipitates or flow-through (input) whole cortex lysates were amplified and hybridized. Data were normalized with the GCRMA algorithm and replicates were averaged across conditions. We recommend filtering data to remove probe sets with normalized expression values less than 50 in at least one condition. Because the Nek7 BAC labels non-neuronal cells, we recommend to delete astrocytes and oligodendrocytes genes from the list using GSE13379 data.

Early emergence of cortical interneuron diversity in the mouse embryo

Project description:GABAergic interneurons play crucial roles in the regulation of neural circuit activity in the cerebral cortex. A hallmark of cortical interneurons is their remarkable structural and functional diversity, yet the molecular determinants and the precise timing underlying their diversification remain largely unknown. Here we use single-cell transcriptomics to identify distinct types of progenitor cells and newborn neurons in the ganglionic eminences, the embryonic proliferative regions that give rise to cortical interneurons. These embryonic precursors define temporally and spatially restricted transcriptional trajectories that unambiguously relate to specific classes of interneurons in the adult cerebral cortex. Our findings therefore suggest that interneuron diversity is already patent shortly after neurons become postmitotic through the acquisition of specific transcriptional programs that unfold over several weeks in the developing cortex

Decoding Cortical Glial Cell Development

Project description:Mouse cortical radial glial cells (RGCs) are primary neural stem cells that give rise to cortical oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, and olfactory bulb (OB) GABAergic interneurons in late embryogenesis. There are fundamental gaps in understanding how these diverse cell subtypes are generated. Here, by combining single-cell RNA-Seq with intersectional lineage analyses, we show that beginning at around E16.5, neocortical RGCs start to generate ASCL1+EGFR+ apical multipotent intermediate progenitors (MIPCs), which then differentiate into basal MIPCs that express ASCL1, EGFR, OLIG2, and MKI67. These basal MIPCs undergo several rounds of divisions to generate most of the cortical oligodendrocytes and astrocytes and a subpopulation of OB interneurons. Finally, single-cell ATAC-Seq supported our model for the genetic logic underlying the specification and differentiation of cortical glial cells and OB interneurons. Taken together, this work reveals the process of cortical radial glial cell lineage progression and the developmental origins of cortical astrocytes and oligodendrocytes.
