Generation of human region-specific brain organoids with medullary spinal trigeminal nuclei [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Brain organoids with nucleus-specific identities provide unique platforms for studying human brain development and diseases at a finer resolution. Despite its essential role in vital body functions, the medulla of the hindbrain has seen a lack of in vitro models, let alone models resembling specific medullary nuclei, including the crucial spinal trigeminal nucleus (SpV) that relays peripheral sensory signals to the thalamus. Here, we report a method to differentiate human pluripotent stem cells into region-specific brain organoids resembling the dorsal domain of the medullary hindbrain. Importantly, organoids specifically recapitulated the development of SpV derived from the dorsal medulla. We also developed an organoid system to create the trigeminothalamic projections between the SpV and the thalamus by fusing these organoids, namely human medullary SpV-like organoids (hmSpVOs), with organoids representing the thalamus (hThOs). Our study provides a platform for understanding SpV development, nucleus-based circuit organizations, and related disorders in the human brain.

Generation of human region-specific brain organoids with medullary spinal trigeminal nuclei [scRNA-seq]

Transcription profiling of monkey thalamus

Project description:Nuclei of the mammalian thalamus are aggregations of neurons with unique architectures and input-output connections, yet the molecular determinants of their organizational specificity remain unknown. By comparing expression profiles of thalamus and cerebral cortex in adult rhesus monkeys we identified transcripts that are unique to dorsal thalamus or to individual nuclei within it. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and in situ hybridization analyses confirmed the findings. Expression profiling of individual nuclei microdissected from the dorsal thalamus revealed additional subsets of nucleus-specific genes. Functional annotation using Gene Ontology (GO) vocabulary and Ingenuity Pathway analysis revealed over-representation of GO categories related to development, morphogenesis, cell-cell interactions, and extracellular matrix within the thalamus- and nucleus-specific genes-many involved in the Wnt signaling pathway. Examples included the transcription factor TCF7L2, localized exclusively to excitatory neurons, a calmodulin-binding protein PCP4, the bone extracellular matrix molecules SPP1 and SPARC, and other genes involved in axon outgrowth and cell matrix interactions. Other nucleus-specific genes such as CBLN1 are involved in synaptogenesis. The genes identified likely underlie nuclear specification, cell phenotype and connectivity during development and their maintenance in the adult thalamus. Experiment Overall Design: To determine the molecular underpinnings of nuclear specificity in the dorsal thalamus we isolated micro-punches of tissue from nucleus-specific regions and processed them for microarray analysis. Replicate samples from 5 separate dorsal thalamic nuclei were processed and compared to identify genes unique to each region. Affymetrix U133A Gene Chips were used. All of the samples were isolated from untreated adult monkey brain.

Fusion of Human Brain Organoids Assembles Bidirectional Connectivity Between Thalamus and Cortex

Project description:Human brain organoid techniques have rapidly advanced to facilitate investigating human brain development and diseases. Recent reports in generation and fusion of regionally defined brain organoids provide further opportunities to investigate the specific brain domains and their interactions. Focus of brain organoids has been to generate telencephalon due to its direct relevance in a variety of forebrain disorders. Despite its importance as a relay hub between cortex and peripheral tissues, the investigation of three-dimensional (3D) organoid model for the human thalamus has not yet been explored. Here, we describe a method to differentiate human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) to the thalamic organoids (hThOs) that specifically recapitulate the development of thalamus. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) revealed a formation of distinct thalamic lineage cells, a lineage divergence from telencephalic lineage. Importantly, we developed a 3D system to create the reciprocal projections between thalamus and cortex by fusing the two distinct region-specific organoids representing the developing thalamus or cortex. Our study provides a platform for understanding human thalamic development and modeling circuit organizations and related disorders in the brain.

Brainstem Proteomics in Epilepsy and Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy

Project description:Brainstem nuclei dysfunction is implicated in sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). In animal models, deficient serotonergic activity is associated with seizure-induced respiratory arrest. In humans, glia are decreased in the ventrolateral medullary pre-Botzinger complex that modulates respiratory rhythm, as well as in the medial raphe that modulates respiration and arousal. Finally, SUDEP cases have decreased midbrain volume. To understand the potential role of brainstem nuclei in SUDEP, we evaluated molecular signaling pathways using localized proteomics in microdissected midbrain dorsal raphe and medullary raphe serotonergic nuclei, as well as the ventrolateral medulla in brain tissue from epilepsy patients who died of SUDEP and other causes in diverse epilepsy syndromes, and non-epilepsy control cases

Towards a human brain EV atlas: Characteristics of EVs from different brain regions, including small RNA and protein profiles

Project description:Brain derived EVs (bdEVs) from eight brain regions, including orbitofrontal gyrus(ORB), postcentral gyrus (POSTC), hippocampus (HIPPO), thalamus (THAL), occipital gyrus (OCC), medulla (MED), corpus callosum (CORP), and cerebellum (CBLM) were separated and characterized by small RNA sequencing. We aim to provide an atlas of bdEV molecular profiles with brain region specificity.

The cytokine receptor Fn14 regulates neuronal transcription during development and brain function in the adult [RNA-seq]

Project description:Signaling between the cytokine TWEAK and its receptor Fn14 is critical for neural circuit development in the postnatal brain. However, the downstream mechanisms through which TWEAK and Fn14 mediate synapse development have remained unclear. Here, we apply single-nucleus RNA-sequencing to Fn14 and TWEAK KO mice to characterize the genes that are regulated by this pathway in the developing dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus at single-cell resolution. We identify robust cohorts of genes that are misregulated in the absence of either Fn14 or TWEAK, providing insight into the transcriptional mechanisms through which cytokine signaling between microglia and neurons regulates a key phase of postnatal brain development that is driven by sensory experience.

ena-DATASET-UKBEC-12-03-2015-16:21:20:556-32 - samples

Project description:Brain samples for this dataset were provided by the Medical Research Council Sudden Death Brain and Tissue Bank (Edinburgh, UK). All four individuals sampled were of European descent, neurologically normal during life and confirmed to be neuropathologically normal by a consultant neuropathologist using histology performed on sections prepared from paraffin-embedded tissue blocks. Twelve regions of the central nervous system were sampled from each individual. The regions studied were: cerebellar cortex, frontal cortex, temporal cortex, occipital cortex, hippocampus, the inferior olivary nucleus (sub-dissected from the medulla), putamen, substantia nigra, thalamus, hypothalamus, intralobular white matter and cervical spinal cord.
