Project description:Non-coding regions compose most of the human genome, yet their functionality is poorly defined. In the developing human neocortex, non-coding regulatory elements tightly regulate expression to direct neural progenitor proliferation and neurogenesis. Here, we define thousands of non-coding elements involved in human neurogenesis by contrasting chromatin accessibility via ATAC-seq from the germinal zone and cortical plate.

Project description:Alternative splicing expands the proteome complexity and plays essential roles in tissue development and human diseases. However, how spermatogenesis is regulated by alternative splicing remains largely unknown. Here, using germ cell-specific knockout mouse model, we demonstrate that the splicing factor Srsf10 is essential for spermatogenesis and male fertility. Depletion of Srsf10 in germ cells had little effect on the formation of SSCs but impeded the expansion of progenitor spermatogonia, leading to the failure of spermatogonia differentiation and meiosis initiation. This was evidenced by the decreased expression of progenitor cell markers in bulk RNA-seq, and much less progenitor and differentiating spermatogonia in single-cell RNA-seq data. Furthermore, the expression of genes involved in cell cycle was abnormal in all subtypes of spermatogonia identified in single-cell RNA-seq data. Notably, using isolated spermatogonia, we found that Srsf10 depletion disturbed the alternative splicing of hundreds of genes, which were preferentially associated with cell cycle, mitotic cell cycle checkpoint and germ cell development, including Dazl, Kit, Ret, Sycp1, Nasp and Bora. These data suggest that SRSF10 is critical for the expansion of progenitor spermatogonia by regulating alternative splicing, expanding our understanding of the novel mechanism underlying spermatogenesis.

Project description:In the mammalian neocortex, diverse projection neuron types are generated by the same pool of neural progenitors in sequential waves. How neuronal cell type specification is related to developmental timing remains unclear. To determine whether neural progenitor cell heterogenity correlates with neuronal type spcification, we performed single cell RNA sequencing analysis of the developing mouse neocortex (E10.5 through E18.5) by Drop-Seq. We uncovered cellular and molecular diversity among neuroepithelial cells, radial glial cells, intermediate progenitors and neuron types.

Project description:Alternative pre-mRNA splicing plays critical roles in brain development. SRSF10 is a splicing factor highly expressed in central nervous system and plays important roles in maintaining normal brain functions. However, its role in neural development is unclear. In this study, by conditional depleting SRSF10 in neural progenitor cells (NPCs) in vivo and in vitro, we found that dysfunction of SRSF10 leads to developmental defects of the brain, which manifest as abnormal ventricle enlargement and cortical thinning anatomically, as well as decreased NPCs proliferation and weakened cortical neurogenesis histologically. Furthermore, we proved that the function of SRSF10 on NPCs proliferation involved the regulation of PI3K-AKT-mTOR-CCND2 pathway and the alternative splicing of Nasp, a gene encoding isoforms of cell cycle regulators. These findings highlight the necessity of SRSF10 in the formation of a structurally and functionally normal brain.

Project description:Cerebral organoids â three-dimensional cultures of human cerebral tissue derived from pluripotent stem cells â have emerged as models of human cortical development. However, the extent to which in vitro organoid systems recapitulate neural progenitor cell proliferation and neuronal differentiation programs observed in vivo remains unclear. Here we use single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to dissect and compare cell composition and progenitor-to-neuron lineage relationships in human cerebral organoids and fetal neocortex. Covariation network analysis using the fetal neocortex data reveals known and novel interactions among genes central to neural progenitor proliferation and neuronal differentiation. In the organoid, we detect diverse progenitors and differentiated cell types of neuronal and mesenchymal lineages, and identify cells that derived from regions resembling the fetal neocortex. We find that these organoid cortical cells use gene expression programs remarkably similar to those of the fetal tissue in order to organize into cerebral cortex-like regions. Our comparison of in vivo and in vitro cortical single cell transcriptomes illuminates the genetic features underlying human cortical development that can be studied in organoid cultures. 734 single-cell transcriptomes from human fetal neocortex or human cerebral organoids from multiple time points were analyzed in this study. All single cell samples were processed on the microfluidic Fluidigm C1 platform and contain 92 external RNA spike-ins. Fetal neocortex data were generated at 12 weeks post conception (chip 1: 81 cells; chip 2: 83 cells) and 13 weeks post conception (62 cells). Cerebral organoid data were generated from dissociated whole organoids derived from induced pluripotent stem cell line 409B2 (iPSC 409B2) at 33 days (40 cells), 35 days (68 cells), 37 days (71 cells), 41 days (74 cells), and 65 days (80 cells) after the start of embryoid body culture. Cerebral organoid data were also generated from microdissected cortical-like regions from H9 embryonic stem cell derived organoids at 53 days (region 1, 48 cells; region 2, 48 cells) or from iPSC 409B2 organoids at 58 days (region 3, 43 cells; region 4, 36 cells).

Project description:During adipocyte differentiation, significant alternative splicing changes occur in association with the adipogenic process. However, little is known about roles played by splicing factors in this process. We observed that mice deficient for the splicing factor SRSF10 exhibit severely impaired development of subcutaneous white adipose tissue as a result of defects in adipogenic differentiation. To identify splicing events responsible for this, RNA-seq analysis was performed using embryonic fibroblast cells. Several SRSF10-affected splicing events that are implicated in adipogenesis have been identified. Skipping of lipin1 exon 7 is controlled by SRSF10-regulated cis-element located in the constitutive exon 8. The activity of this element depends on the binding of SRSF10 and correlates with the relative abundance of lipin1a mRNA. A series of experiments demonstrated that SRSF10 controls the production of lipin1a and thus promotes adipocyte differentiation. Indeed, lipin1a expression could rescue SRSF10-mediated adipogenic defects. Taken together, our results identify SRSF10 as an essential regulator for adipocyte differentiation and also provide new insights into splicing control by SRSF10 in lipin1 pre-mRNA splicing.

Project description:Splicing factor SRSF10 is known to function as a sequence-specific splicing activator. Here, we used RNA-seq coupled with bioinformatics analysis to identify the extensive splicing network regulated by SRSF10 in chicken cells. We found that SRSF10 promoted both exon inclusion and exclusion. Functionally, many of SRSF10-verified alternative exons are linked to pathways of stress and apoptosis. Importantly, reconstituted SRSF10 in knockout cells recovered wild-type splicing patterns and considerably rescued the stress-related defects. Together, our results provide mechanistic insight into SRSF10-regulated alternative splicing events in vivo and demonstrate that SRSF10 plays a crucial role in cell survival under stress conditions.

Project description:Proper neural progenitor behavior in conjunction with orderly vasculature formation is fundamental to the development of the neocortex. However, the mechanisms coordinating neural progenitor behavior and vessel growth remain largely elusive. Here we show that robust metabolic production of lactate by radial glial progenitors (RGPs) co-regulates vascular development and RGP division behavior in the developing mouse neocortex. RGPs undergo a highly organized lineage progression program to produce diverse neural progeny. Systematic single cell metabolic state analysis revealed that RGPs and their progeny exhibit distinct metabolic features associated with specific cell types and lineage progression statuses. Symmetrically dividing, proliferative RGPs preferentially express a cohort of genes that support glucose uptake and anaerobic glycolysis. Consequently, they consume glucose in anaerobic metabolism and produce a high level of lactate, which promotes vessel growth. Moreover, lactate production enhances RGP proliferation by maintaining mitochondrial length. Together, these results suggest that specific metabolic states and metabolites coordinately regulate vasculature formation and progenitor behavior in neocortical development.
