Biallelic null variants in PNPLA8 cause microcephaly through the reduced abundance of basal radial glia

ABSTRACT: PNPLA8, one of the calcium-independent phospholipase A2 enzymes, is involved in various physiological conditions through the maintenance of membrane phospholipids. However, little is known about its role in brain development. Here, we report 14 individuals from 12 unrelated families with biallelic ultra-rare variants in PNPLA8 presenting with a wide spectrum of clinical features ranging from developmental and epileptic-dyskinetic encephalopathy (DEDE) to progressive movement disorders and no phenotype depending on the variants and their positions. Complete loss of PNPLA8 was associated with the severe end of the spectrum showing DEDE manifestations and congenital or progressive microcephaly. Using cerebral organoids generated from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), we found that loss of PNPLA8 reduces the abundance of basal radial glial cells (bRGCs) and upper-layer neurons. By spatial transcriptomic analysis targeting apical radial glial cells (aRGCs), we found the downregulation of bRGC-related gene sets in patient-derived cerebral organoids. Lipidomic analysis revealed a decrease in the amount of lysophosphatidic acid, lysophosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidic acid, indicative of the disturbed phospholipid metabolism in PNPLA8 knockout neural progenitor cells. Our data suggest that PNPLA8 has a critical role in the bRGC-mediated expansion of the developing human cortex by regulating the fate commitment of aRGCs.

A novel population of Hopx-dependent basal radial glial cells in the developing mouse neocortex

Project description:A specific subpopulation of neural progenitor cells, the basal radial glial cells (bRGCs) of the outer subventricular zone (OSVZ), are thought to have a key role in the evolutionary expansion of the mammalian neocortex. In the developing lissencephalic mouse neocortex, bRGCs exist at low abundance and show significant molecular differences from bRGCs in developing gyrencephalic species. Here, we demonstrate that the developing mouse medial neocortex (medNcx), in contrast to the canonically studied lateral neocortex (latNcx), exhibits an OSVZ and an abundance of bRGCs similar to that in developing gyrencephalic neocortex. Unlike bRGCs in developing mouse latNcx, the bRGCs in medNcx exhibit human bRGC-like gene expression, including expression of Hopx, a human bRGC marker. Disruption of Hopx expression in mouse embryonic medNcx and forced Hopx expression in mouse embryonic latNcx demonstrate that Hopx is required and sufficient, respectively, for a bRGC abundance as found in developing gyrencephalic neocortex. Taken together, our data identify a novel bRGC subpopulation in developing mouse medNcx that is highly related to bRGCs of developing gyrencephalic neocortex.

A restricted period for formation of Outer Subventricular Zone defined by Cdh1 and Trnp1 levels

Project description:The Outer Subventricular Zone (OSVZ) is a germinal layer playing key roles in the development of the neocortex, with particular relevance in gyrencephalic species like human and ferret where it contains abundant basal Radial Glia Cells (bRGCs) that promote cortical expansion. Here we identify a brief period in ferret embryonic development when apical RGCs generate a burst of bRGCs that become founders of the OSVZ. After this period, bRGCs in the OSVZ proliferate and self-renew exclusively locally, thereby forming a self-sustained lineage independent from the other germinal layers. The time window for the brief period of OSVZ bRGC production is delineated by the coincident down-regulation of Cdh1 and Trnp1, and their up-regulation reduces bRGC production and prevents OSVZ seeding. This mechanism in cortical development may have key relevance in brain evolution and disease Samples were analyzed with 3 replicates of each of them (except E34SVZ that has 2 replicantes). Comparisons were done taking different reference sample depending on the comparison.

CHD8 haploinsufficiency alters the developmental trajectories of human excitatory and inhibitory neurons linking autism phenotypes with transient cellular defects

Project description:Chromodomain helicase DNA-binding 8 (CHD8) is one of the most frequently mutated genes causative of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). While its phenotypic spectrum often encompasses macrocephaly and hence implicates cortical abnormalities in this form of ASD, the neurodevelopmental impact of human CHD8 haploinsufficiency remains unexplored. Here we combined human cerebral organoids and single cell transcriptomics to define the effect of ASD-linked CHD8 mutations on human cortical development. We found that CHD8 haploinsufficiency causes a major disruption of neurodevelopmental trajectories with an accelerated generation of inhibitory neurons and a delayed production of excitatory neurons alongside the ensuing protraction of the proliferation phase. This imbalance may contribute to the significant enlargement of cerebral organoids in line with the macrocephaly observed in patients with CHD8 mutations. By adopting an isogenic design of patient-specific mutations and mosaic cerebral organoids, we define genotype-phenotype relationships and uncover their cell-autonomous nature. Finally, our results assign different CHD8-dependent molecular defects to particular cell types, pointing to an abnormal and extended program of proliferation and alternative splicing specifically affected in, respectively, the radial glial and immature neuronal compartments. By identifying temporally restricted cell-type specific effects of human CHD8 mutations, our study uncovers developmental alterations as reproducible endophenotypes for neurodevelopmental disease modelling.

TRNP1 regulates expansion and folding of the mammalian cerebral cortex by control of radial glial fate

Project description:Evolution of the mammalian brain encompassed a remarkable increase in size of cerebral cortex, including tangential and radial expansion, but the mechanisms underlying these key parameters are still largely unknown. Here, we identified the novel DNA associated protein TRNP1 as a regulator of cerebral cortical expansion in both these dimensions. Gain and loss of function experiments in the mouse cerebral cortex in vivo demonstrate that high Trnp1 levels promote neural stem cell self-renewal and tangential expansion, while lower levels promote radial expansion resulting in a potent increase in the generation of intermediate progenitors and outer radial glial cells resulting in folding of the otherwise smooth murine cerebral cortex. Remarkably, TRNP1 expression levels exhibit regional differences also in the cerebral cortex of human fetuses anticipating radial or tangential expansion respectively. Thus, the dynamic regulation of TRNP1 is critical to regulate tangential and radial expansion of the cerebral cortex in mammals. We performed gene expression microarray analysis on embryonic mouse cerebral cortex derived from Trnp1 knockdown and control animals.

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.

Single cell RNA-sequencing of 75-day old human H1 and H9 embryonic stem cell-derived cerebral organoids

Project description:The scRNA-seq analysis of 75 day old human cerebral organoids grown at the air-liquid interface (ALI-COs) reveals six well-defined major clusters. Cell-type and maturity markers define a (1) distinct population of deep layer subcortical projection neurons, (2) upper layer intracortical (callosal) projection neurons and intermediate progenitors, (3) ventricular and subventricular zone radial glial cells, (4) more mature upper and deep layer neurons, (5) interneurons and (6) actively dividing cells with intermediate progenitor and radial glia markers. In addition, the gene expression profile of these clusters corresponds with their expected functional characteristics appropriate to their maturity. Altogether, our data reflect a full repertoire of cortical neuronal and progenitor identities corresponding with the stages of cortical development in age-matched fetal brains.
