MRNA stability fine tunes gene expression in the developing cortex to control neurogenesis [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: RNA abundance is controlled by rates of synthesis and degradation. Although mis-regulation of RNA turnover is linked to neurodevelopmental disorders, how it contributes to cortical development is largely unknown. Here, we discover the landscape of RNA stability regulation in the cerebral cortex and demonstrate that intact RNA decay machinery is essential for corticogenesis in vivo. We use SLAM-seq to measure RNA half-lives transcriptome-wide across multiple stages of cortical development. Leveraging these data, we discover cis-acting features associated with RNA stability and probe the relationship between RNA half-life and developmental expression changes. Notably, RNAs that are upregulated across development tend to be more stable, while downregulated RNAs are less stable. Using compound mouse genetics, we discover CNOT3, a core component of the CCR4-NOT deadenylase complex linked to neurodevelopmental disease, is essential for cortical development. Conditional knockout of Cnot3 in neural progenitors and their progeny in the developing mouse cortex leads to severe microcephaly due to altered cell fate and p53-dependent apoptosis. Finally, we define the molecular targets of CNOT3, revealing it controls expression of poorly expressed, non-optimal mRNAs in the cortex. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that fine-tuned control of RNA turnover is crucial for brain development.

Chromodomain protein CDYL confers forebrain identity to human cortical organoids by inhibiting neuronatin [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Fate determination of neural stem cells is crucial for cerebral cortex development and is closely linked to neurodevelopmental disorders when gene expression networks are disrupted. The transcriptional corepressor chromodomain Y-like (CDYL) is widely expressed across diverse cell populations within the human embryonic cortex, though its precise role in this complex developmental process remains unclear. Here, we show that CDYL is critical for human cortical neurogenesis. CDYL deficiency leads to a substantial increase in gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-ergic neurons in human cortical organoids, instead of the expected generation of typical cortical neurons. Subsequently, neuronatin (NNAT) is identified as a significant target of CDYL in this process, and its abnormal expression obviously influences the proliferation and fate commitment of cortical neural stem cells (NSCs) within human cortical organoids. Cross-species comparisons of CDYL targets unravel a distinct developmental trajectory between human cortical organoids and mouse cortex at an analogous stage. Collectively, our data provide insight into the evolutionary roles of CDYL in human cortex development, emphasizing the critical function of CDYL in maintaining the fate of human cortical NSCs.

Co-repressor CDYL confers forebrain identity to human cortical organoids by negatively regulating NNAT [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Epigenetic regulation is essential for the normal development of human cerebral cortex, and its disruptions would lead to diverse neurodevelopmental disorders. The epigenetic co-repressor CDYL exhibits widespread expression across various cell clusters within the human embryonic cortex, yet its roles in this intricate process have remained elusive. Here, we show that CDYL is critical for cortical neurogenesis, and CDYL deficiency led to an augmentation in the generation of GABAergic neurons instead of cortical progenitors and neurons in the cortical organoid model. Combining analysis of bulk RNA-seq and ChIP seq, we identified NNAT as a significant CDYL target by H3K27me3 modification, crucial for the fate determination of neural stem cells within human cortical organoids, distinctly diverging from the murine cortex at a similar developmental stage. Collectively, our study sheds light on the critical function of CDYL in the maintenance of cortical neural stem cell fate commitment during human corticogenesis through the inhibition of NNAT expression.

Patterns of gene expression and evolution in the human developing cerebral cortex

Project description:The cerebral cortex underwent a rapid expansion and complexification during recent primate evolution, but the underlying developmental mechanisms remain essentially unknown. In order to uncover genetic networks underlying the development of the human cerebral cortex, we profiled the transcriptome of human fetal cortical domains containing language areas of Broca and Wernicke, as well as associative areas. We thus identified hundreds of genes displaying differential expression between the two areas or between distinct temporal stages. A subset of these genes was further validated by qRTPCR and in situ hybridization, revealing novel patterns of area and layer-specific expression throughout the developing cortex at midgestation, a critical period of cortical patterning. Computational genomic analyses revealed that the proportion of genes located close to evolutionarily accelerated regions was far more abundant among the genes differentially expressed between the two cortical areas examined, but not among those differentially expressed between different stages of development. In silico screening enabled to identify accelerated regions displaying increased turnover of change in transcription factor binding sites, which were enriched among those closer to genes differentially expressed between cortical areas. Overall our work points to the identification of cortical genes that display a unique combination of patterns of evolution and expression, which may constitute an important part of the genetic framework underlying human-specific neural traits and diseases. We determined gene expression patterns in cortical domains that contain areas thought to have undergone significant divergence during primate evolution, including language areas of Broca and Wernicke, as well as association areas of the frontal and parieto-temporal cortex in the right and left sides of human fetal brains at 17 and 19 gestional weeks.

Cortical Foxp2 supports behavioral flexibility and developmental dopamine D1 receptor expression

Project description:FoxP2 encodes a forkhead box transcription factor required for the development of neural circuits underlying language, vocalization, and motor-skill learning. Recent genetic studies have associated FOXP2 variation with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), and within the cortex, it is coexpressed and interacts with other NDD-associated transcription factors. Cortical Foxp2 is required in mice for proper social interactions, but its role in other NDD-relevant behaviors is unknown. Here, we characterized such behaviors and their potential underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms in cortex-specific Foxp2 conditional knockout mice. These mice showed deficits in reversal learning without increased anxiety or hyperactivity. In contrast, they emitted normal vocalizations save for a decrease in loudness of neonatal calls. These behavioral phenotypes were accompanied by decreases in cortical dopamine D1 receptor (D1R) expression at neonatal and adult stages, while general cortical development remained unaffected. Finally, using single-cell transcriptomics, we identified neonatal D1R-expressing cell types in frontal cortex and found changes in D1R cell type composition and gene expression upon cortical Foxp2 deletion. Together these data support a role for Foxp2 in the development of dopamine-modulated cortical circuits potentially relevant to NDDs.

Specific tRNAs promote mRNA decay by recruiting the CCR4-NOT complex to translating ribosomes (Ribo-seq)

Project description:The CCR4-NOT complex is a major regulator of eukaryotic messenger RNA (mRNA) stability. Slow decoding during translation promotes association of CCR4-NOT with ribosomes, accelerating mRNA degradation. We applied selective ribosome profiling to further investigate the determinants of CCR4-NOT recruitment to ribosomes in mammalian cells. This revealed that specific arginine codons in the P-site are strong signals for ribosomal recruitment of human CNOT3, a CCR4-NOT subunit. Cryo–electron microscopy and transfer RNA (tRNA) mutagenesis demonstrated that the D-arms of select arginine tRNAs interact with CNOT3 and promote its recruitment whereas other tRNA D-arms sterically clash with CNOT3. These effects link codon content to mRNA stability. Thus, in addition to their canonical decoding function, tRNAs directly engage regulatory complexes during translation, a mechanism we term P-site tRNA-mediated mRNA decay.
