MYT1L deficiency impairs excitatory neuron trajectory during cortical development [E14]

ABSTRACT: Mutations that reduce the function of MYT1L, a neuron-specific transcription factor, are associated with a syndromic neurodevelopmental disorder. Furthermore, MYT1L is routinely used as a pro-neural factor in fibroblast-to-neuron transdifferentiation. MYT1L has been hypothesized to play a role in the trajectory of neuronal specification and subtype specific maturation, but this hypothesis has not been directly tested, nor is it clear which neuron types are most impacted by MYT1L loss. In this study, we profiled 412,132 nuclei from the forebrains of wild-type and MYT1L-deficient mice at three developmental stages: E14 at the peak of neurogenesis, P1 when neurons in the six cortical layers have been born, and P21 when neurogenesis is complete and neurons are maturing, to examine the role of MYT1L levels in the trajectory of neuronal development. We found that MYT1L deficiency significantly disrupted the relative proportions of cortical excitatory neurons. Changes in gene expression were concentrated in excitatory neurons, suggesting that transcriptional effects of MYT1L deficiency are largely due to disruption of neuronal maturation programs. Most effects on gene expression were cell autonomous and persistent through development. In addition, while MYT1L can both activate and repress gene expression, the repressive effects were most sensitive to haploinsufficiency, and thus more likely mediate MYT1L syndrome. These findings illuminate the intricate role of MYT1L in orchestrating gene expression dynamics during neuronal development, providing insights into the molecular underpinnings of MYT1L syndrome.

Fully defined NGN2 neuron protocol reveals diverse signatures of neuronal maturation

Project description:NGN2-driven iPSC-to-neuron conversion is a popular method for human neurological disease modeling. In this study, we report a fully standardized approach for generating functional excitatory cortical neurons. This method utilizes clonal, targeted-engineered iPSC lines and employs fully defined reagents. We demonstrate that our protocol generates consistent excitatory cortical neurons at scale. Comprehensive temporal omics, electrophysiological, and morphological profilings indicate the continued progression of neuronal maturation for at least 150 days. Deep quantitative characterizations through transcriptomic, imaging, and functional assays reveal coordinated actions of multiple pathways driving neuronal maturation. The neurons express the majority of the key risk genes in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and autism, demonstrating the relevance of our protocol in modeling human neurological disorders. This well-defined method, profiling data, and functional characterization provide a solid and reliable framework for developing human in vitro neuronal models for disease modeling.

MYT1L haploinsufficiency in human neurons and mice causes autism-associated phenotypes that can be reversed by genetic and pharmacologic intervention

Project description:MYT1L is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD)-associated transcription factor that is expressed in virtually all neurons throughout life. How MYT1L mutations cause neurological phenotypes and whether they can be targeted remains enigmatic. Here, we examine the effects of MYT1L deficiency in human neurons and mice. Mutant mice exhibit neurodevelopmental delays with thinner cortices, behavioural phenotypes, and gene expression changes that resemble those of ASD patients. MYT1L target genes, including WNT and NOTCH, are activated upon MYT1L depletion and their chemical inhibition can rescue delayed neurogenesis in vitro. MYT1L deficiency also causes upregulation of the main cardiac sodium channel, SCN5A, and neuronal hyperactivity, which could be restored by shRNA-mediated knockdown of SCN5A or MYT1L overexpression in postmitotic neurons. Acute application of the sodium channel blocker, lamotrigine, also rescued electrophysiologic defects in vitro and behaviour phenotypes in vivo. Hence, MYT1L mutation causes both developmental and postmitotic neurological defects. However, acute intervention can normalise resulting electrophysiological and behavioural phenotypes in adulthood.

MYT1L is required for suppressing earlier neuronal development programs in the adult mouse brain

Project description:In vitro studies indicate the neurodevelopmental disorder gene Myelin Transcription Factor 1 Like (MYT1L) suppresses non-neuronal lineage genes during fibroblast-to-neuron direct differentiation. However, MYT1L’s molecular and cellular functions during differentiation in the mammalian brain have not been fully characterized. Here, we found that MYT1L loss leads to up-regulated deep layer (DL) but down-regulated upper layer (UL) neuron gene expression, corresponding to an increased ratio of DL/UL neurons in mouse cortex. To define potential mechanisms, we conducted Cleavage Under Targets & Release Using Nuclease (CUT&RUN) to map MYT1L binding targets in mouse developing cortex and adult prefrontal cortex (PFC), and to map epigenetic changes due to MYT1L mutation. We found MYT1L mainly binds to open chromatin, but with different transcription factor co-occupancies between promoters and enhancers. Likewise, multi-omic dataset integration revealed that, at promoters, MYT1L loss does not change chromatin accessibility but does increase H3K4me3 and H3K27ac, activating both a subset of earlier neuronal development genes as well as BCL11B, a key regulator for DL neuron development. Meanwhile, we discovered that MYT1L normally represses the activity of neurogenic enhancers associated with neuronal migration and neuronal projection development by closing chromatin structures and promoting removal of active histone marks. Further, we show MYT1L interacts with SIN3B and HDAC2 in vivo, providing potential mechanisms underlying any repressive effects on histone acetylation and gene expression. Overall, our findings provide a comprehensive map of MYT1L binding in vivo and mechanistic insights to how MYT1L facilitates neuronal maturation.

Non-coding RNAs shape cortical neurons developmental trajectories

Project description:A hallmark of cortical evolution is the high dynamic subventricular zone (SVZ) expansion, where basal progenitors (BPs) amplify and neuronal transcriptional programs unfold. How non-coding molecular factors such as microRNAs influence these developmental trajectories and regulate the acquisition of cortical type identities is largely unknown. Here we demonstrate that miR-137 and miR-122 regulate the positioning and identity features of superficial layer cortical neurons by acting at distinct steps of their developmental trajectories. MiR-137 sustains basal progenitor amplification by reverting their neurogenic commitment and inducing high proliferative state upregulating Cd63 and inhibiting Myt1l. Cd63 is an extra-cellular matrix (ECM) receptor which interacts with b3- and 1-integrin pathways to promote proliferation, while Myt1l is a transcription factor that promotes and sustains neuronal fate. The BPs amplification by miR-137 is converted in the promotion of intracortical projecting neuron (ICPN) identity and L2/3 expansion. As opposed to miR-137, miR-122 acts postmitotically, affecting the bioelectrical properties, the calcium and cytoskeleton dynamics of newborn neurons as well as their transcriptional program, leading to a persistent molecular immaturity across time. Overall, these findings reveal that miR-137 and miR-122 are key regulators of the developmental trajectory of cortical neurons across evolution.

RNA-seq investigating the influence of astrocytes on developing cortical neurons

Project description:Astrocytes are implicated in neuronal development, particularly excitatory synaptogenesis, but their genome-wide impact is unclear. Using cell-type specific RNA-seq we show that cortical astrocytes induce widespread transcriptomic changes in developing cortical neurons. Rat cortical neurons were maintained in the presence or absence of mouse astrocytes, RNA-seq performed, and mixed-species RNA-seq reads sorted according to species. Cultures were also treated with TTX to abolish neuronal firing activity, to investigate the effects of the presence or absence activity-dependent signalling.

Transcription profiling of mouse wild type vs Dnmt1 hypomethylated forebrain

Project description:DNA methylation is a major epigenetic factor regulating genome reprogramming, cell differentiation, developmental gene expression. To understand the role DNA methylation in CNS neurons, we generated conditional Dnmt1 mutant mice that possess ~90% hypomethylated cortical and hippocampal cells in the dorsal forebrain from E13.5 on. The mutant mice were viable with a normal lifespan, but displayed severe neuronal cell death between E14.5 to 3-weeks postnatally. Accompanied with the striking cortical and hippocampal degeneration, adult mutant mice exhibited neurobehavioral defects in learning and memory in adulthood. Unexpectedly, a fraction of Dnmt1-/- cortical neurons survived through postnatal development, so that the residual cortex in mutant mice contained 20-30% of hypomethylated neurons throughout the life. Hypomethylated excitatory neurons exhibited multiple defects in postnatal maturation including abnormal dendritic arborization and impaired neuronal excitability. The mutant phenotypes are coupled with deregulation of those genes involved in neuronal layer-specification, cell death, and the function of ion channels. Our results suggest that DNA methylation, through its role in modulating neuronal gene expression, plays multiple roles in regulating cell survival, neuronal migration and maturation in the CNS. Experiment Overall Design: We compared gene expression patterns in Wildtype and DNA methylation deficient (Emx1-cre; Dnmt1 mutant) mouse dorsal cortex. We performed 3 replicates using different each individual mouse strain. The Sample GSM350992 table is the average log ratio for the 3 replicatesArrays were performed in triplicate.

Gene expression profile of the V/SVZ and the CP at E16

Project description:Cell differentiation and proliferation are mutually exclusive. Although differentiating neurons are recognized as post-mitotic non-dividing cells, some Rb- and Rb family (Rb, p107, and p130)-deficient differentiating neurons proliferate and form tumor. Here, we found that the acute inactivation of all Rb family in differentiating cortical excitatory neurons caused radial migration defect and S-phase progression but not cell division, whereas that in cortical progenitors caused the cell division of the differentiating neurons generated from Rb â??/â??; p107 â??/â??; p130 â??/â?? (Rb-TKO) progenitors. Genome-wide DNA methylation analysis revealed that proximal promoters tended to become methylated during differentiation in vivo. DNA demethylation by DNA methyltransferase inhibitor allowed the acutely inactivated Rb-TKO differentiating neurons to undergo G2/M-phase progression. Our finding illustrate that cortical excitatory neurons epigenetically lose their proliferative potency after neurogenesis. 4 samples of the V/SVZ (ventricular/subventricular zone) tissue and 4 samples of the CP (cortical plate) tissue

Here, we found that the acute inactivation of all Rb family in differentiating cortical excitatory neurons caused radial migration defect and S-phase progression but not cell division, whereas that in cortical progenitors caused the cell division of the differentiating neurons generated from Rb –/–; p107 –/–; p130 –/– (Rb-TKO) progenitors. Genome-wide DNA methylation analysis revealed that proximal promoters tended to become methylated during differentiation in vivo. DNA demethylation by DNA methyltransferase inhibitor allowed the acutely inactivated Rb-TKO differentiating neurons to undergo G2/M-phase progression.
