Molecular Cascade Reveals Sequential Milestones Underlying Hippocampal Neural Stem Cell Development into an Adult State

ABSTRACT: Quiescent adult neural stem cells (NSCs) in the mammalian brain arise from proliferating NSCs during development. Beyond acquisition of quiescence, an adult NSC hallmark, little is known about the process, milestones and mechanisms underlying the transition of developmental NSCs to an adult NSC state. Here we performed targeted single-cell RNA-seq analysis to reveal the molecular cascade underlying NSC development in the early postnatal mouse dentate gyrus. We identified two sequential steps, first a transition to quiescence followed by further maturation, each of which involved distinct changes in metabolic gene expression. Direct metabolic analysis uncovered distinct milestones, including an autophagy burst before NSC quiescence acquisition and cellular ROS level elevation along NSC maturation. Functionally, autophagy is important for the NSC transition to quiescence during early postnatal development. Together, our study reveals a multi-step process with defined milestones underlying establishment of the adult NSC pool in the mammalian brain.

Converged Epitranscriptomic Co-regulation of TGFβ Signaling Components Suppresses the Quiescence Transition of Early Postnatal Hippocampal Neural Stem Cells

Project description:Quiescence acquisition of proliferating neural stem cells (NSCs) is required to establish the adult NSC pool yet the underlying molecular mechanisms are not well-understood. Here we showed that conditional deletion of the m6A reader Ythdf2, which promotes mRNA decay, in proliferating NSCs in the early postnatal mouse hippocampus led to elevated quiescence acquisition with decreased neurogenesis. Multimodal profiling of m6A modification, YTHDF2 binding, and mRNA decay in hippocampal NSCs identified shared targets in multiple TGFβ signaling pathway components, including TGFβ ligands, maturation factors, receptors, transcription regulators, and signaling regulators. Functionally, Ythdf2 deletion led to TGFβ signaling activation in NSCs, suppression of which rescued elevated quiescence acquisition of proliferating hippocampal NSCs. Our study reveals the dynamic nature and critical roles of mRNA decay in establishing the quiescent adult hippocampal NSC pool and uncovers a novel mode of epitranscriptomic control via co-regulation of multiple components of the same signaling pathway.

Rb family proteins are master regulators of the molecular signatures instructing the quiescent and activated adult neural stem cell state

Project description:The long-term maintenance of the adult neurogenic niche and neurogenesis is dependent on the proper regulation of entry and exit from quiescence. The dynamic transition from quiescence to activation is a complex process requiring not only precise cell cycle control, but also a co-ordinated phenotypic transition involving transcriptional and morphological changes. Presently, the mechanisms by which such a complex repertoire of factors interact and co-ordinate with the core cell cycle machinery to mediate these critical NSC fate transitions remains unknown. Here we show that the Rb/E2F axis functions as an on-off switch for NSC quiescence and activation, by linking the cell cycle machinery to pivotal regulators of NSC fate. Compound deletion of Rb family proteins results in massive activation and expansion of NSCs, and induces a global transcriptomic transition towards NSC activation followed by niche depletion. Deletion of their target activator E2Fs1/3 results in the failure of NSCs to become activated and the acquisition of a global transcriptome associated with intractable NSC quiescence and the cessation of adult neurogenesis. We further show that the Rb/E2F axis orchestrates these fate transitions through the direct regulation of factors essential to NSC function, including REST and ASCL1. This places the Rb/E2F axis as a master regulator of NSC fate, coordinating cell cycle control with NSC activation and quiescence fate transitions.

Epigenetic maintenance of neural stem cell quiescence in the adult mouse hippocampus via Setd1a [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Quiescence, a hallmark of adult neural stem cells (NSCs), is required for maintaining the NSC pool to support life-long continuous neurogenesis in the adult dentate gyrus (DG). Whether epigenetic mechanisms can maintain NSC quiescence over long term in the adult brain is not well-understood. Here we showed that adult mice with haploinsufficiency of Setd1a, a schizophrenia risk gene encoding a histone H3K4 methyltransferase, exhibited substantially enlarged DG with increased number of dentate granule cells. Deletion of Setd1a specifically in quiescent NSCs in the adult DG promoted their activation and neurogenesis, which was countered by inhibition of histone demethylase LSD1. Mechanistically, RNA sequencing and CUT & RUN analyses of cultured quiescent adult NSCs revealed Setd1a deletion-induced transcriptional changes and Setd1a targets, among which down-regulation of Bhlhe40 promoted quiescent NSC activation in the adult DG. Together, our study revealed a Setd1a-dependent epigenetic mechanism that sustains NSC quiescence in the adult DG.

SETD4 Cells Contribute to Brain Development and Maintain Adult Stem Cell Reservoir for Neurogenesis

Project description:Cellular quiescence facilitates maintenance of neural stem cells (NSCs) and their subsequent regenerative functions in response to brain injury and aging. However, the specification and maintenance of NSCs in quiescence from embryo to adulthood remains largely unclear. Here, using Set domain-containing protein 4 (SETD4), an epigenetic determinant of cellular quiescence, we mark a small but long-lived NSC population in deep quiescence in the subventricular zone of adult murine brain. Genetic lineage tracing shows that SETD4+ cells appear before neuroectoderm formation and contribute to brain development. In the adult, conditional knock-out of SETD4 resulted in quiescence exit of NSCs, generating newborn neurons in the olfactory bulb and contributing to damage repair. However, long period deletion of SETD4 lead to exhaustion of NSC reservoir or SETD4 overexpression caused quiescence entry of NSCs, leading to suppressed neurogenesis. This study reveals the existence of long-lived deep quiescent NSCs and their neurogenetic capacities beyond activation.

Early Stem Cell Aging in the Mature Brain

Project description:Stem cell dysfunction drives many age-related disorders. Identifying mechanisms that initially compromise stem cell behavior represent early targets to enhance stem cell function later in life. Here, we pinpoint multiple factors that disrupt neural stem cell (NSC) behavior in the adult hippocampus. Clonal tracing showed that NSCs exhibit asynchronous depletion by identifying short-term (ST-NSC) and long-term NSCs (LT-NSCs). ST-NSC divide rapidly to generate neurons and deplete in the young brain. Meanwhile, multipotent LT-NSCs are maintained for months, but are pushed out of homeostasis by lengthening quiescence. Single cell transcriptome analysis of deep NSC quiescence revealed several hallmarks of molecular aging in the mature brain and identified tyrosine-protein kinase Abl1 as an NSC pro-aging factor. Treatment with the Abl-inhibitor Imatinib increased NSC proliferation without impairing NSC maintenance in the middle-aged brain. Our study indicates that hippocampal NSCs are particularly vulnerable to cellular aging, yet NSC function can be partially restored.

Single-Cell Transcriptomics Reveals a Population of Dormant Neural Stem Cells that Become Activated upon Brain Injury

Project description:Heterogeneous pools of adult neural stem cells (NSCs) contribute to brain maintenance and regeneration after injury. The balance of NSC activation and quiescence, as well as the induction of lineage-specific transcription factors, may contribute to diversity of neuronal and glial fates. To identify molecular hallmarks governing these characteristics, we performed single-cell sequencing of an unbiased pool of adult subventricular zone NSCs. This analysis identified a discrete, dormant NSC subpopulation that already expresses distinct combinations of lineage-specific transcription factors during homeostasis. Dormant NSCs enter a primed-quiescent state before activation, which is accompanied by downregulation of glycolytic metabolism, Notch, and BMP signaling and a concomitant upregulation of lineage-specific transcription factors and protein synthesis. In response to brain ischemia, interferon gamma signaling induces dormant NSC subpopulations to enter the primed-quiescent state. This study unveils general principles underlying NSC activation and lineage priming and opens potential avenues for regenerative medicine in the brain. Single cell RNAseq of cells isolated from their in vivo niche in the subventricular zone, Striatum and Cortex during homeostasis as well as following ischemic injury. In total 272 single cells.

Transcriptomic differences between deeply quiescent and activated adult NSCs

Project description:To identify pathways regulating NSC quiescence, with a possible link to quiescence depth, we used double transgenic Tg(her4:drfp);Tg(mcm5:gfp) fish and paradigms predicted to highlight deep vs shallower quiescence. In adult fish (3 month-post-fertilization -mpf-), we performed bulk RNA sequencing on FACS sorted RFPhigh,GFPneg qNSCs (expressing strongly her4, signing NSCs transcriptionally remote from activation), and activated NSCs.

A lysine demethylase-independent function of Phf2 regulates cohesin-mediated DNA replication for neural stem cell activation

Project description:The activation of quiescent neural stem cells (qNSCs) in the dentate gyrus is required for lifelong neurogenesis. However, the mechanisms that promote the exit of neural stem cells (NSCs) from quiescence remain elusive. We demonstrate that the expression of plant homeodomain finger protein 2 (Phf2) activates the exit of postnatal mouse NSC from shallow quiescence. Loss of Phf2 prevents NSC activation and neurogenesis in postnatal 30 (P30) mice but does not decrease the label-retaining NSC pool, indicating that Phf2 is not required for the exit of NSC from quiescence. NSC-specific deletion of Phf2 modestly compromises embryonic mouse NSC proliferation without increasing apoptosis, indicating that Phf2 is crucial for embryonic development. Moreover, human cortical organoids reveal that Phf2 promotes NPC proliferation via a lysine demethylase-independent manner. Mechanistically, Phf2 directly binds to the cohesion complex via Rad21 and regulates the DNA replication in mouse NSC by associating with the cohesion complex releasing protein Wapl activity. Our study identifies the Phf2-cohesin complex mediated DNA replication for neural stem cell activation in a lysine demethylase-independent manner.
