Integrative single-cell transcriptomics clarifies adult neurogenesis and macroglia evolution

ABSTRACT: 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.

Cellular and Transcriptomic Analyses Identify the Source and Lineage of Regenerated Neurons in the Adult Zebrafish Telencephalon following Blunt-Force Traumatic Brain Injury

Project description:Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) represent a large global disease burden and can result in several short- and long-term deficits. Treatment for TBIs are limited, however stem cell therapies involving either transplantation of exogenous stem cells or stimulation of endogenous stem cells have been proposed. These approaches possess issues with survival and differentiation of stem/progenitor cells, which highlights the need to elucidate mechanisms necessary for complete regeneration. Zebrafish exhibit a robust neuronal regenerative capacity following damage in various parts of the central nervous system. In this study, we use a modified blunt-force TBI (bfTBI) model, the most common type of TBI seen in the human population, to damage the adult zebrafish telencephalon and examine cellular and molecular consequences. This model induces a variety of TBI-related phenotypes across different injury severities, which mimic the pathologies observed following bfTBI in humans. Additionally, we show that after bfTBI, cells in the zebrafish telencephalon, including radial glia (RGC), non-glial neural progenitors (NPs), and neuroblasts, proliferate and differentiate into various neural cell types. We performed a snRNA-Seq analysis of the damaged and regenerating telencephalon, which revealed heterogeneity among the progenitor cells. Further, the snRNA-Seq demonstrated that quiescent radial glia became activated upon injury and yielded neural progenitor cells. To functionally assess how the regenerative process is regulated, we knocked down the expression of PdgfrB and demonstrated that it played a role in maintaining RGC quiescence. Collectively, this study provides a foundation for future studies of neuronal regeneration in the adult zebrafish telencephalon following a bfTBI.

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.

Single cell sequencing of radial glia progeny reveals diversity of newborn neurons in the adult zebrafish brain

Project description:Zebrafish display widespread and pronounced adult neurogenesis, which is fundamental for their regeneration capability after central nervous system injury. However, the cellular identity and the biological properties of adult newborn neurons are elusive for most brain areas. Here, we used short-term lineage tracing of radial glia progeny to prospectively isolate newborn neurons from the her4.1+ radial glia lineage in the homeostatic adult forebrain. Transcriptome analysis of radial glia, newborn neurons and mature neurons using single cell sequencing identified distinct transcriptional profiles including novel markers for each population. Specifically, we detected 2 separate newborn neuron types, which showed diversity of cell fate commitment and location. Further analyses showed homology of these cell types to neurogenic cells in the mammalian brain, identified neurogenic commitment in proliferating radial glia and indicated that glutamatergic projection neurons fate are generated in the adult zebrafish telecephalon. Thus, we prospectively isolated adult newborn neurons from the adult zebrafish forebrain, identified markers for newborn and mature neurons in the adult brain, revealed intrinsic heterogeneity among adult newborn neurons and their homology to mammalian adult neurogenic cell types.

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

Project description: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.

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.

Differential expression levels of Sox9 in early neocortical radial glial cells regulate the decision between stem cell maintenance and differentiation

Project description:Radial glial progenitor cells (RGCs) in the dorsal forebrain directly or indirectly produce excitatory projection neurons and macroglia of the neocortex. Recent evidence shows that the pool of RGCs is more heterogeneous than originally thought and that progenitor subpopulations can generate particular neuronal cell types. Using single cell RNA sequencing, we have studied gene expression patterns of two subtypes of RGCs that differ in their neurogenic behavior. One progenitor type rapidly produces postmitotic neurons, whereas the second progenitor remains relatively quiescence before generating neurons. We have identified candidate genes that are differentially expressed between these RGCs progenitor subtypes, including the transcription factor Sox9. Using in utero electroporation, we demonstrate that elevated Sox9 expression in progenitors prevents RGC division and leads to the generation of upper-layer cortical neurons from these progenitors at later ages. Our data thus reveal molecular differences between cortical progenitors with different neurogenic behavior and indicates that Sox9 is critical for the maintenance of RGCs to regulate the generation of upper layer neurons.

Gene profiling of MÃ¼ller glia during early stages of zebrafish photoreceptor regeneration

Project description:Photoreceptor damage in adult mammals results in permanent cell loss and glial scarring in the retina. In contrast, adult zebrafish can regenerate photoreceptors following injury. By using a stable transgenic line in which GFP is driven by the cis-regulatory sequences of a glial specific marker gfap, Tg(gfap:GFP)mi2002, previous studies showed that MÃ¼ller glia, the radial glial cells in the retina, proliferate after photoreceptor loss and give rise to neuronal progenitors that eventually differentiate into regenerated photoreceptors. To identify the molecular mechanisms that initiate this regenerative response, MÃ¼ller glia were isolated from Tg(gfap:GFP)mi2002 fish during the early stages of regeneration after light lesion and gene expression profiles were generated by microarray analyses. Keywords: time course Retinas were dissected from Tg(gfap:GFP)mi2002 zebrafish at 8, 16, 24, 36 hour post-lesion (hpl) and non-light-treated controls (0 hpl) and were dissociated by enzymatic digestion. GFP+ MÃ¼ller glia were isolated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Independent hybridization of three biological replicates were performed for each time point.
