Project description:Appropriate number of neurons and glial cells is generated from neural stem cells (NSCs) by the regulation of cell cycle exit and subsequent differentiation. Although the regulatory mechanism remains obscure, Id (inhibitor of differentiation) proteins are known to contribute critically to NSC proliferation by controlling cell cycle. Here we report that a transcriptional factor, RP58, negatively regulates all 4 Id genes (Id1-Id4) in developing cerebral cortex. Consistently, Rp58 knockout (KO) mice demonstrated enhanced astrogenesis accompanied with an excess of NSCs. These phenotypes were mimicked by the overexpression of all Id genes in wild-type cortical progenitors. Furthermore, Rp58 KO phenotypes were rescued by the knockdown of all Id genes in mutant cortical progenitors but not by the knockdown of each single Id gene. Finally, we determined p57 as an effector gene of RP58-Id-mediated cell fate control. These findings establish RP58 as a novel key regulator that controls the self-renewal and differentiation of NSCs and restriction of astrogenesis by repressing all Id genes during corticogenesis. Sample RNAs were obtained from E16.5 Rp58 KO mouse cerebral cortex or control cortex. Two independent total RNA samples from each mouse strain were mixed and purified using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen). Oligonucleotide microarray analysis was performed using Panorama Micro Array gene expression chips, each containing approx 22000 probe sets (Sigma-Aldrich) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Project description:To predict RP58-regulated genes involved in skeletal myogenesis, RNA profiling experiments were performed, comparing RNA derived from skeletal muscle tissue of a RP58+/+ mouse to that from a RP58 knockout (KO) mouse at E18.5. Importantly, well-known dominant-negative inhibitors of muscle differentiation, the Id family of genes (Id1/Id2/Id3), were upregulated in the RP58 KO muscle. On the contrary, a number of muscle differentiation-related genes, such as Ckm, troponin and Myosin, were downregulated in the same sample. These results indicate that the repressor protein RP58 is important for muscle terminal differentiation, possibly suppressing the gene expression of muscle differentiation genes such as the Ids.

Keywords: Knockout tissue Skeletal muscles of WT and RP58 KO mice (E18.5 diaphragm) were dissected under a microscope and RNA was extracted using ISOGEN (Nippongene). After EtOH precipitation, RNA was dissolved into DEPC-DW and its concentration was determined. Microarray analysis - cRNA was synthesized. 10 ug of cRNA were hybridized to Affymetrix mouse 430A 2.0 arrays. Signal intensities were calculated using the RMA method. MAPPFinder (www.genmapp.org) was used to integrate expression data with known pathways.

Project description:The early onset of microglia activation in the Rp58 hetero-KO mice raised the possibility that chronic inflammation in the brain was induced by mutation even in the early life stage. To test this possibility, we examined gene expression profiles in the hippocampus of the Rp58 hetero-KO and the control wild-type mice in adulthood and old age months. Among the genes whose expression level was down-regulated in the aged wild-type mice, 341 genes were down-regulated in the adulthood Rp58 hetero-KO mice when both were compared with the adulthood wild-type mice. Conversely, the expression levels of 103 genes were up-regulated both in the adulthood Rp58 hetero-KO and the aged wild-type mice. In the pathway enrichment analysis, these 103 up-regulated genes included Cxcl10, Oas2, Oas1a, and Oasl2, which are associated with a pathway of immune response interferon gamma action on extracellular matrix and cell differentiation.

Project description:Stem cell functions require activation of stem cell-intrinsic transcriptional programs as well as intimate extracellular interactions with a niche microenvironment. How the core pluripotency transcriptional machinery controls residency of stem cells in the niche microenvironment is unknown. Here we show that the helix loop helix transcriptional regulators Id (Inhibitors of DNA binding) are the master regulators that coordinate stem cell activities with anchorage of neural stem cells (NSCs) to the embryonic and postnatal niche. Conditional inactivation of Id genes (Id1, Id2 and Id3) in the mouse NSC compartment triggered detachment of embryonic and post-natal NSCs from the ventricular and vascular niche respectively, followed by premature differentiation. Through an unbiased interrogation of the gene modules directly targeted by deletion of Id genes in NSCs, we discovered that Id proteins repress the bHLH-mediated activation of Rap1GAP, thus serving to maintain the GTPase activity of RAP1, a key mediator of cell adhesion. Preventing the elevation of Rap1GAP efficiently countered the consequences of Id loss on NSC-niche interaction and stem cell identity. Thus, by preserving anchorage to the extracellular environment of NSCs, Id activity synchronizes NSC functions to residency in the specialized niche.

Project description:Rationale: The Id1 and Id3 genes play major roles during cardiac development, despite their expression being confined to non-myocardial layers (endocardium – endothelium - epicardium). We previously described that Id1–/–Id3–/– double knockout (dKO) mouse embryos die at mid-gestation from multiple cardiac defects, but early demise precluded the studies of the roles of Id in the adult mice. Objective: To elucidate postnatal roles of Id genes in the heart. Methods and Results: We ablated Id1 gene in the vasculature and Id3 gene globally to generate Tie2Cre+Id1F/–Id3–/– and Tie2Cre+Id1F/FId3–/– conditional KO (Id cKO) embryos. Half of the Id cKO mice die at birth. Postnatal demise was associated with cardiac underdevelopment, enlargement, muscular ventricular septal and endothelial defects. Surviving Id cKO mice exhibited dilated, fibrotic cardiomyopathy associated with defects in the vasculature. The adult cardiac phenotype progressed into heart failure and resembled endomyocardial fibroelastosis. An abnormal vascular response was also observed in the healing process of excisional skin wounds of Id cKO mice. Expression patterns of vascular, fibrotic and hypertrophic markers were altered in the Id cKO hearts, but addition of Insulin-Like Growth Factor binding protein-3 (IGFbp3) reversed gene expression profiles of vascular and fibrotic, but not hypertrophic markers. Conclusions: Conditional ablation of Id genes in the vasculature leads to dilated fibrotic cardiomyopathy. The findings could reveal important insights into the role(s) of the endocardial network of the endothelial lineage to the development of dilated fibrotic cardiomyopathy and identify a potential therapeutic target, IGFbp3, in its treatment.

Thus, by preserving anchorage to the extracellular environment of NSCs, Id activity synchronizes NSC functions to residency in the specialized niche. We generated Id-cTKO mice carrying a Cre-recombinase-oestrogen-receptor-T2 (Cre-ER) allele targeted to the ubiquitously expressed ROSA26 locus (Id-cTKO-Rosa-Cre-ER). In this system, 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4-OHT) releases the Cre recombinase inhibition and allows recombination of genomic loxP sites. Indeed, efficient deletion of Id1 and Id2 with complete loss of Id protein expression was detectable after treatment of NSCs with 4-OHT for 72 h. Total RNA was extracted from triplicate samples of Id-cTKO-Rosa-Cre-ER NSCs treated for different times (6 h, 12 h, 18 h, 24 h, 48 h, 96 h, 144 h) with 4-OHT or control vehicle and used for analysis on Illumina MouseWG-6 expression BeadChip. The raw array data was normalized using the Bioconductor package Lumi using quantile normalization.

RNA was converted to cDNA, cRNA, and hybridized to DNA sequences contained in the GeneChip Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (Affymetrix). Information from at least duplicate samples was compared and filtered by fold change >2 (Id cKO vs WT, Id control vs WT, IGFbp3 incubated Id cKO vs. control incubated Id cKO) and statistical p-value<0.001.

Project description:Normal neurodevelopment relies on intricate signaling pathways that balance neural stem cell (NSC) self-renewal, maturation and survival. Disruptions lead to neurodevelopmental disorders including microcephaly. Here, we implicate the inhibition of NSC senescence as a mechanism underlying neurogenesis and corticogenesis. We report that the receptor for activated C kinase (Rack1), a family member of WD40-repeat (WDR) proteins, is highly enriched in NSCs. Deletion of Rack1 in developing cortical progenitors leads to a microcephaly phenotype. Strikingly, the absence of Rack1 decreases neurogenesis and promotes a cellular senescence phenotype in NSCs. Mechanistically, the senescence-related p21 signaling pathway is dramatically activated in Rack1-null NSCs, and removal of p21 significantly rescues the Rack1-knockout phenotype in vivo. Finally, Rack1 directly interacts with Smad3 to suppress the activation of TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway, which plays a critical role in p21-mediated senescence. Our data implicate Rack1-driven inhibition of p21-induced NSC senescence as a critical mechanism behind normal cortical development.

Project description:Cerebral organoids exhibit broad regional heterogeneity accompanied by limited cortical cellular diversity despite the tremendous upsurge in derivation methods, suggesting inadequate patterning of early neural stem cells (NSCs). Here we show that a short and early dual-SMAD/WNT inhibition course is necessary and sufficient for establishing robust and lasting cortical organoid NSC identity, efficiently suppressing of non-cortical NSC fates, while other widely used methods are inconsistent in their cortical NSC specification capacity. Accordingly, this method selectively enriches for outer radial glia (oRG) NSCs, which cytoarchitecturally demarcate well-defined outer sub-ventricular (oSVZ)-like regions propagating from superiorly radially organized, apical cortical rosette NSCs. Finally, this method culminates in the emergence of molecularly distinct deep and upper cortical layer neurons, and reliably uncovers cortex-specific microcephaly defects. Thus, a short SMAD/WNT inhibition is critical for establishing a rich cortical cell repertoire that enables mirroring fundamental molecular and cytoarchitectural features of cortical development and meaningful disease modeling.
