ERK signaling expands mammalian cortical radial glial cells and extends the neurogenic period

ABSTRACT: The molecular basis for cortical expansion during evolution remains largely unknown. Here, we report that fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling promotes the self-renewal and expansion of cortical radial glial (RG) cells. Furthermore, FGF-ERK signaling induces bone morphogenic protein 7 (Bmp7) expression in cortical RG cells, which increases the length of the neurogenic period. We demonstrate that ERK signaling and Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) signaling mutually inhibit each other in cortical RG cells. We provide evidence that ERK signaling is elevated in cortical RG cells during development and evolution. We propose that the expansion of the mammalian cortex, notably in human, is driven by the ERK-BMP7-GLI3R signaling pathway in cortical RG cells, which participates in a positive feedback loop through antagonizing SHH signaling. We also propose that the relatively short cortical neurogenic period in mice is partly due to mouse cortical RG cells receiving higher SHH signaling that antagonizes ERK signaling.

NOTCH, ERK and SHH signaling respectively control the fate determination of cortical astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and olfactory bulb interneurons

Project description:During cortical development, radial glial cells, known as neural stem cells, initially generate a large number of cortical glutamatergic pyramidal neurons through a process called neurogenesis. This is followed by the generation of a diversity of cortical astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and olfactory bulb interneurons, known as gliogenesis. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the switch from cortical neurogenesis to gliogenesis, and the subsequent fate determination of cortical astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and olfactory bulb interneurons, remain unclear. Here, we report that extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling plays a fundamental role in promoting cortical gliogenesis and the generation of cortical glial progenitors. Additionally, SHH-SMO-GLI activator signaling has an auxiliary function to ERK during these processes. We further demonstrate that NOTCH signaling is absolutely required for the fate determination of astrocytes, while ERK signaling plays a prominent role in oligodendrocyte fate specification, and SHH signaling is crucial for the fate determination of olfactory bulb interneurons from cortical progenitors. We provide evidence suggesting that this mechanism is conserved in both mice and humans. Finally, we propose a unifying principle of mammalian cortical gliogenesis.

BRG1 ChIP-Seq on E12.5 WT and LncBAR-KO (KO) neurospheres (passage 3)

Project description:Neocortical projection neurons of mammalian brains are largely direct daughters of intermediate progenitors (IP), which are progenies of radial glial cells (RG). The maintenance of the RG pool, production and expansion of IPs are essential for neocortical formation during development, as well as neocortical expansion during evolution. Here we characterized an epigenetic circuit that controls precise neurogenic programming of the neocortex. The circuit comprises a long non-coding RNA – LncBAR and the SWI/SNF (BAF) chromatin-remodeling complex, which transcriptionally maintains the expression of Zbtb20. LncBAR knockout neocortex contains fewer upper-layer projection neurons. Intriguingly, loss of LncBAR promotes IP production of RGCs, but hampers neurogenic division and lengthens the cell-cycle durations of IPs during mid-later cortical neurogenesis. Moreover, in LncBAR knockout mice, depletion of the neural progenitor pool at embryonic stage causes fewer adult neural stem cells at the subventricular zone, leading to compromised adult neurogenesis to replenish the olfactory bulb. LncBAR binds to BRG1, the core enzymatic component of the SWI/SNF (BAF) chromatin-remodeling complex. LncBAR depletion enhances association of BRG1 with and the genomic locus of, and suppresses the expression of Zbtb20, a transcription factor gene known to regulate both embryonic and adult neurogenesis. ZBTB20 re-expression in LncBAR-knockout neural precursors reversed compromised neurogenic divisions of IPCs. Together, we revealed a previously unidentified epigenetic machinery to control neurogenesis of neural precursors.

Trincr1 RNA pull down MS in mESC

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as important components of gene regulatory network in embryonic stem cells (ESCs). However, the function and molecular mechanism of lncRNAs are still largely unknown. Here we identified Trincr1 (TRIM71 interacting long noncoding RNA 1) lncRNA that regulates the FGF/ERK signaling and self-renewal of ESCs. Trincr1 is exported by THOC complex to cytoplasm where it binds and represses TRIM71, leading to the downregulation of SHCBP1 protein. Knocking out Trincr1 leads to the upregulation of phosphorylated ERK and ERK pathway target genes and the decrease of ESC self-renewal, while knocking down Trim71 completely rescues the defects of Trincr1 knockout. Furthermore, ectopic expression of Trincr1 represses FGF/ERK signaling and the self-renewal of neural progenitor cells. Together, this study reveals more regulators in FGF/ERK signaling pathway and highlights lncRNA as an important player in cell signaling network to coordinate cell fate specification.

Expression data from adult Shh-responding astroglia cells in mice

Project description:Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signals via Gli transcription factors to promote maintenance and proliferation of neural stem cells in the adult mouse forebrain. We have analyzed the gene expression pattern in neurogenic Shh-responding astroglia (= neural stem cells ) in the subventicular zone of the lateral ventricle and dentate gyrus of the hippocampus in comparison to the non-neurogenic Shh-responding glia (=Bergman glia) in the cerebellum to identify the genes specifically involved in neurogenic function downstream of Shh signaling. In this dataset, we include the expression data obtained from FACS-sorted Gli1+ GFAP+ cells from microdissected SVZ, hippocampus and cerebellum. GFAP expression is based on hGFAP-GFP reporter line and Gli1 expression is lineage marked using Gli1-CreER;ROSA26-tdTomato mice. 15 Total samples were analyzed. We compared expression levels of SVZ vs. Cerebellum, Hippocampus vs. Cerebelllum to identify genes which had more than 4 fold change in expression levels with p < 0.01. From this narrowed list, we compared between SVZ and Hippocampus to identify the common genes up and down regulated. In addition, we also identified commonly expressed genes in hippocampus and SVZ at high level.

Neutrophils facilitate the epicardial regenerative response after zebrafish heart injury

Project description:Despite extensive studies on endogenous heart regeneration within the past 20 years, the players involved in initiating early regeneration events are far from clear. Here, we assessed the function of neutrophils, the first-responder cells to tissue damage, during heart regeneration. We detected rapid neutrophil mobilization to the injury site after ventricular amputation, peaking at 1-day post-amputation (dpa) and resolving by 3 dpa. Further analyses indicated neutrophil mobilization coincides with peak epicardial cell proliferation and recruited neutrophils associated with activated, expanding epicardial cells at 1 dpa. Neutrophil depletion inhibited myocardial regeneration and significantly reduced epicardial cell expansion, proliferation, and activation. To explore the molecular mechanism of neutrophils on the epicardial regenerative response, we performed scRNA-seq analysis of 1 dpa neutrophils and identified enrichment of the FGF and ERK signaling pathways. Pharmacological inhibition of FGF signaling indicated its’ requirement for epicardial cell expansion, while neutrophil depletion blocked ERK signaling activation in epicardial cells. Altogether, our studies revealed that neutrophils quickly induce epicardial cells, which later accumulate at the injury site and contribute to heart regeneration.
