A microRNA cluster downstream of Fezf2 coordinates projection identity and dendritic morphology in cortical projection neurons

ABSTRACT: Cortical projection neurons comprise classes of neurons connecting the cerebral cortex to distant targets in the nervous system. Each projection neuron class acquires a distinct molecular identity and develops characteristic patterns of axonal projection and dendritic arborization that determine their inputs, outputs, and distinct functions. How different aspects of neuron identity, including axonal and dendritic morphology, are coordinated appropriately in each specific neuron type is not known. A network of transcription factors, including the selector gene Fezf2, is central to specifying cortical projection neuron fates. However, regulation down-stream of these fate-determinant transcription factors to control different aspects of neuron identity is not understood, particularly as it relates to the development of distinct dendritic arbors that determine the inputs to each projection neuron class. Here we show that the miR-193b~365 microRNA cluster downstream of Fezf2 cooperatively represses the signaling molecule Mapk8 to regulate dendritic development in a neuron subtype-specific manner.

Variation in activity state, axonal projection, and position define the transcriptional identity of individual neocortical projection neurons.

Project description:Single-cell RNA sequencing has generated the first catalogs of transcriptionally defined neuronal subtypes of the brain. However, the cellular processes that contribute to neuronal subtype specification and transcriptional heterogeneity remain unclear. By comparing the gene expression profiles of a subset of single layer 6 corticothalamic neurons in somatosensory cortex, we show that transcriptional subtypes primarily reflect axonal projection pattern, laminar position within the cortex, and neuronal activity state. Pseudotemporal ordering of 1023 cellular responses to sensory manipulation demonstrates that changes in expression of activity-induced genes both reinforced cell-type identity and contributed to increased transcriptional heterogeneity within each cell type. This is due to cell-type biased choices of transcriptional states following manipulation of neuronal activity. These results reveal that axonal projection pattern, laminar position, and activity state define significant axes of variation that contribute both to the transcriptional identity of individual neurons and to the transcriptional heterogeneity within each neuronal subtype.

Bcl11b orchestrates subcerebral projection neuron axon development via cell-autonomous, non-cell-autonomous, and subcellular mechanisms

Project description:Both cell-intrinsic competency and extracellular cues regulate axon projection, but mechanisms that coordinate these elements remain poorly understood. Subcerebral projection neurons (SCPN) extend their primary axons from cortex through subcortical structures, including the striatum, targeting the brainstem and spinal cord. We identify that the transcription factor Bcl11b/Ctip2 functions in multiple independent neuron populations to control SCPN axon development. Bcl11b expressed by SCPN is required cell-autonomously for axonal outgrowth and efficient entry into the internal capsule within the striatum, while Bcl11b expressed by medium spiny neurons (MSN) non-cell-autonomously regulates SCPN axon fasciculation within the internal capsule and subsequent pathfinding. Further, integrated investigation of Bcl11b-null SCPN with transcriptomic, immunocytochemical, and in vivo growth cone purification approaches identifies that Cdh13 is localized along axons and on growth cone surfaces of SCPN in vivo, and mediates Bcl11b regulation of SCPN axonal outgrowth. Together, these results demonstrate that Bcl11b controls multiple aspects of SCPN axon development by coordinating intrinsic SCPN cell autonomous subcellular mechanisms and extrinsic MSN non-cell-autonomous mechanisms.

Transcriptomic (RNA-seq) analysis of wild-type and Nolz1-/- (Zfp503) mutant striatal tissue reveals altered expression of several genes involved in striatal projection neuron specification.

Project description:Midbrain dopaminergic (DA) axons make long longitudinal projections towards target areas in the forebrain, including the striatum. After demonstrating a striatal specific requirement of transcriptional regulator Nolz1 (Zfp503) in regulating DA axon guidance and innervation, we performed RNA-seq analysis on both wild-type and Nolz1-/- mutant striatal tissue. The gene expression analysis revealed a requirement of Nolz1 in regulating striatal projection neuron specification. The RNA-seq results reveal several secreted factors that underlie the observed guidance defects and resulted in the identification of proteins that can restore DA axonal outgrowth.

Co-regulated gene expression downstream of a single transcription factor controls the acquisition of corticospinal motor neuron identity

Project description:The neocortex contains an unparalleled diversity of neuronal subtypes responsible for complex behavior. Each cortical neuron has distinct traits, which are developmentally acquired under the control of batteries of neuron subtype-specific and pan-neuronal genes. The cis-regulatory logic that orchestrates the coordinated regulation of each unique combination of genes is not known for any class of neurons of the neocortex. We report that Fezf2, a transcription factor able to induce defining features of corticospinal motor neurons (CSMN), associates with the proximal promoters and regulates expression of series of CSMN signature genes. Fezf2 targets are functionally relevant as demonstrated by the finding that Fezf2 governs expression of the axon guidance receptor EphB1 to execute the ipsilateral extension of the corticospinal tract. Our data indicate that co-regulated expression of neuron subtype-specific gene batteries by a common transcription factor is one component of the regulatory logic responsible for the establishment of CSMN identity.

Morphological diversity of single neurons in molecularly defined cell types

Project description:Dendritic and axonal morphology reflects the input and output of neurons and is a defining feature of neuronal types, yet our knowledge of the diversity of neuronal morphology, in particular distal axon projection patterns, remains limited. To systematically obtain complete single neuron morphology on a brain-wide scale, we established a platform with five major components: sparse labeling, whole-brain imaging, reconstruction, registration, and classification. We fully reconstructed 1,741 neurons from cortex, claustrum, thalamus, striatum and other brain regions. We identify 11 major projection neuron types with distinct morphological features and corresponding transcriptomic identities. We further reveal extensive morphological diversity within each of these major types, some of which cluster into more refined morphological subtypes. We analyze this diversity at different levels following a set of generalizable organizational rules governing long-range axonal projections, including molecular correspondence, divergent or convergent projection, axon termination pattern, regional specificity, topography, and individual cell variability. We illustrate how these rules manifest in different projection neuron types. Although clear concordance with transcriptomic profiles is evident at major projection type level, fine-grained morphological diversity often does not readily correlate with transcriptomic subtypes derived from unsupervised clustering, highlighting the need for single-cell level cross-modality studies. Overall, our study provides a systematic demonstration of the crucial need for quantitative description of complete single cell anatomy in cell type classification, as the cell type-specific morphological diversity reveals a plethora of ways different cell types and individual neurons may contribute to the function of their respective circuits.

Transcription profiling of mouse FACS-purified cortical projection neurons using Affymetrix 430 2.0 microarrays

Project description:3 subtypes of cortical projection neurons were purified by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) at 4 different stages of development from mouse cortex. A detailed description of the data set is described in Arlotta, P et al (2005) and Molyneaux, BJ et al (2009). The hybridization cocktails used here were originally applied to the Affymetrix mouse 430A arrays and submitted as GEO accession number GSE2039. The same hybridization cocktails were then applied to the Affymetrix mouse 430 2.0 arrays, and those data are contained in this series. Experiment Overall Design: Three subtypes of cortical neurons were purified by FACS at multiple stages of mouse brain development. The neuron subtypes are: corticospinal motor neurons (CSMN), callosal projection neurons (CPN), and corticotectal projection neurons (CTPN). The stages of development included embryonic day 18 (E18), postnatal day 3 (P3), postnatal day 6 (P6), and postnatal day 14 (P14). CSMN and CPN were analyzed at all four stages, while CTPN were only analyzed at P14. The replicates included in the data set are all true biological replicates with independent sample collection for each.
