Transcriptomic profiling of long non-coding RNAs identifies circRmst as a regulator of midbrain dopamine neuron migration [time series]

ABSTRACT: Midbrain dopamine (mDA) neurons play an essential role in cognitive and motor behaviours and are linked to different brain disorders. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying their development, and in particular the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), remain incompletely understood. Here, we establish the transcriptomic landscape and alternative splicing patterns of linear and circular ncRNAs (lncRNAs and circRNAs) at key developmental timepoints in mouse mDA neurons using RNAseq at different time points during early development. Spatial analysis shows strong and subregion-specific expression of circRmst in mDA neurons and its post-transcriptional silencing affects soma size, TH+ neuron number, and mDA neuron positioning. Time-laps imaging indeed reveals that circRmst inhibits migration speed in developing mDA neurons. Together, these data for the first time establish a functional role for circRNAs in mDA neurons, further characterize poorly defined aspects of mDA neuron development, and provide a unique framework for future interrogation of lncRNAs in developing mDA neurons.

Transcriptomic profiling of long non-coding RNAs identifies circRmst as a regulator of midbrain dopamine neuron migration

Here, we establish the transcriptomic landscape and alternative splicing patterns of linear and circular ncRNAs (lncRNAs and circRNAs) at key developmental timepoints in mouse mDA neurons using short and long-read RNAseq. Spatial analysis shows strong and subregion-specific expression of circRmst in mDA neurons and its post-transcriptional silencing affects soma size, TH+ neuron number, and mDA neuron positioning. Time-laps imaging indeed reveals that circRmst inhibits migration speed in developing mDA neurons.

Single-cell RNA Sequencing Reveals Midbrain Dopamine Neuron Diversity Emerging During Mouse Brain Development

Project description:Midbrain dopamine (mDA) neurons constitute a heterogenous group of cells that have been intensely studied, not least because mDA neuron degeneration causes major symptoms in Parkinson’s disease. Diversity of mDA neurons has previously been well characterized anatomically but understanding diversity at a more complete molecular level has not previously been achieved. Here, we used single cell RNA sequencing of isolated mouse neurons expressing the transcription factor Pitx3, a marker for all types of mDA neurons. Analyses included cells isolated during development up until adulthood and was validated by histological characterization of newly identified markers. This characterization identified seven neuron subgroups divided in two major branches of developing Pitx3-expressing neurons. Five of these groups were dopaminergic, one glutamatergic and one GABAergic. Analyses also indicated evolutionary conservation of diversity in humans. This comprehensive molecular characterization will provide a molecular framework for further studies of the developing and mature mDA neuron subgroups in the mammalian brain.

Transcriptomic atlas of midbrain dopamine neurons uncovers differential vulnerability in a Parkinsonism lesion model

Project description:Midbrain dopamine (mDA) neurons comprise a diverse group of cells with unique innervation targets and functions. This is illustrated by the selective sensitivity of mDA neurons of the substantia nigra compacta (SNc) in patients with Parkinson’s disease, while those in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) are relatively spared. Here we used single nuclei RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) of approximately 70,000 mouse midbrain cells to build a high-resolution atlas of mouse mDA neuron diversity at the molecular level. The results showed that differences between mDA neuron groups could best be understood as a continuum without sharp differences between subtypes. Thus, we assigned mDA neurons to several “territories” and “neighborhoods” within a shifting gene expression landscape where boundaries are gradual rather than discrete. Based on the enriched gene expression patterns of these territories and neighborhoods, we were able to localize them in the adult mouse midbrain. Moreover, because the underlying mechanisms for the variable sensitivities of diverse mDA neurons to pathological insults are not well understood, we analyzed surviving neurons after partial 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesions to unravel gene expression patterns that correlate with mDA neuron vulnerability and resilience. Together, this atlas provides a basis for further studies on the neurophysiological role of mDA neurons in health and disease.

Analysis of human ES cell differentiation establishes that the dominant isoforms of the lncRNAs RMST and FIRRE are circular

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are numerically abundant in human, predominantly derived from protein coding genes, and some can act as microRNA sponges or cis-acting transcriptional regulators. Changes in circRNA abundance have been identified during human development which may be functionally important, but lineage-specific analyses are currently lacking. To address this, we performed RNAseq analysis of human embryonic stem (ES) cells differentiated for 90 days towards 3D laminated retina. A transcriptome-wide increase in circRNA abundance, size, and exon count was observed which reached a plateau by day 45. Parallel analyses, controlling for sample and locus specific effects, identified 239 circRNAs with expression patterns distinct from the transcriptome-wide pattern, but these also increased in abundance over time. Surprisingly, circRNAs derived from long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) were found to account for a significantly larger proportion of transcripts from their loci of origin than circRNAs from coding genes. The most abundant, circRMST:E12-E6, showed a >100X increase during differentiation which was associated with altered promoter usage, and accounts for >99% of RMST transcripts in many adult tissues. The second most abundant, circFIRRE:E10-E5, accounts for >98% of FIRRE transcripts in differentiating human ES cells, and is one of 39 FIRRE circRNAs many of which include multiple unannotated exons. Our results suggest that during human ES cell differentiation, changes in circRNA abundance are primarily globally controlled. They also suggest that RMST and FIRRE, genes with established roles in neurogenesis and topological organisation of chromosomal domains respectively, encode circular lncRNAs with only minor linear species.

Human midbrain dopaminergic neuronal differentiation markers predict cell therapy outcome in a Parkinson's disease model

Project description:Human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-based replacement therapy holds great promise in treating Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, the heterogeneity of hPSC-derived donor cells and the low yield of midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) neurons after transplantation hinder its broad clinical application. Here, we depicted the single-cell molecular landscape during mDA neuron differentiation. We found that this process recapitulated the development of multiple but adjacent fetal brain regions including ventral midbrain, isthmus, and ventral hindbrain, resulting in heterogenous donor cell population. We reconstructed the differentiation trajectory of mDA lineage and identified CLSTN2 and PTPRO as specific surface markers of mDA progenitors, which were predictive of mDA neuron differentiation and could facilitate highly enriched mDA neurons (up to 80%) following progenitor sorting and transplantation. Marker sorted progenitors exhibited higher therapeutic potency in correcting motor deficits of PD mice. Different marker sorted grafts had a strikingly consistent cellular composition, in which mDA neurons were enriched, while off-target neuron types were mostly depleted, suggesting stable graft outcomes. Our study provides a better understanding of cellular heterogeneity during mDA neuron differentiation, and establishes a strategy to generate highly purified donor cells to achieve stable and predictable therapeutic outcomes, raising the prospect of hPSC-based PD cell replacement therapies.

The long noncoding RNA neuroLNC modulates neurotransmitter release interacting with a neurodegeneration-associated protein

Project description:The roles of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in synaptic transmission and neuronal development are emerging. Here we applied an integrated bioinformatic/biological screening strategy to identify lncRNAs that regulate synaptic vesicle release. We identified neuroLNC, a conserved neuron-specific nuclear lncRNA that modulates synaptic vesicle release, presynaptic calcium influx, neurite elongation and neuronal migration. In neurons neuroLNC interacts with a neurodegeneration-associated protein and tunes a set of presynaptic transcripts implicated in neurotransmitter release.

Neural circular RNAs are derived from synaptic genes and regulated by development and plasticity

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs), formed by the atypical head-to-tail splicing of exons, have re-emerged as a potentially interesting RNA species given recent reports of a surprising diversity and abundance of circRNA in organisms ranging from worm to human. Here, using deep RNA sequencing, we profiled different RNA species in mouse and observed that circRNAs are significantly enriched in neural tissue, relative to other tissues. Using PacBio sequencing, we determined, for the first time, the circular structure of this population of circRNAs as well as their full-length sequences. We discovered that a disproportionate fraction of the brain circRNA population is derived from host genes that code for synaptic proteins. Moreover, based on the separate profiling of the RNAs localized in neuronal cell bodies and neuropil (enriched in axons and dendrites), we found that, on average, circular RNAs are more enriched in the neuropil than their host gene mRNA isoforms. Using high resolution in situ hybridization we, for the first time, directly visualized circRNA punctae in the dendrites of neurons. The host gene origin and location of the circRNA in neurons suggest the possibility that circRNAs might participate in the regulation of synaptic function and plasticity. Consistent with this idea, we observed via profiling at different developmental stages, that the abundance of many circular RNAs changes abruptly at a time corresponding to synaptogenesis. In addition, following a homeostatic downscaling of neuronal activity many circRNAs exhibit significant up or down-regulation. These data indicate that brain circRNAs are positioned to respond to and regulate synaptic function.

Comprehensive analysis of Long non-coding RNA expression in dorsal root ganglion reveals cell type specificity and dysregulation following nerve injury [rodent DRG]

Project description:Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons provide connectivity between peripheral tissues and spinal cord. Transcriptional plasticity within DRG sensory neurons after peripheral nerve injury contributes to nerve repair but also leads to maladaptive plasticity, including the development of neuropathic pain. This study presents tissue and neuron specific expression profiling of both known and novel Long Non-Coding RNAs (LncRNAs) in rodent DRG following nerve injury. We have identified a large number of novel LncRNAs expressed within rodent DRG, a minority of which were syntenically conserved between mouse and rat and which including both- intergenic and antisense LncRNAs. We have also identified neuron type-specific LncRNAs in mouse DRG, and LncRNAs that are expressed in human IPS cell-derived sensory neurons. We show significant plasticity in LncRNA expression following nerve injury, which in mouse is strain dependant. This resource is publicly available and will aid future studies of DRG neuron identity and the transcriptional landscape in both naïve and injured DRG.
