Direct Conversion of Human Fibroblasts into Neuronal Restricted Progenitors

ABSTRACT: Neuronal restricted progenitors (NRPs) represent a type of transitional intermediate cells that lie between multipotent neural progenitors (NPs) and terminal differentiated neurons during neurogenesis. These NRPs have the ability to self-renew and differentiate into neurons, but not into glial cells, which is considered as an advantage for cellular therapy of human neurodegenerative diseases. However, difficulty in the extraction of highly purified NPRs from normal nervous tissue prevents further studies and applications. In this study, we reported conversion of human fetal dermal fibroblasts into human induced neuronal restricted progenitors (hiNRPs) in seven days by using just three defined factors: Sox2, c-Myc, and either Brn2 or Brn4. The hiNRPs exhibited distinct neuronal characteristics, including cell morphology, multiple neuronal markers expression, self-renewal capacity, and genome-wide transcriptional profile. Moreover, hiNRPs were able to differentiate into various terminal neurons with functional membrane properties, but not glial cells. Direct generation of hiNRPs from somatic cells will provide a new source of cells for cellular replacement therapy of human neurodegenerative diseases.

This is a general expression microarray design (NimbleGen platform). It includes 5 samples.

Meningeal cells contribute to postnatal cortical neurogenesis.

Project description:Postnatal brain neurogenesis in mammals is believed to be restricted to rare germinative remnants of the neuroepithelium. In this study, we discovered that, in the postnatal brain, a subset of embryonically derived progenitors is present in meningeal substructures. These cells migrate from the meningeal substructures to the retrosplenial and visual motor cortex and differentiate into (electrically) functional integrated neurons. Lineage tracing analysis revealed that this subset of neural progenitors originate largely from PDGFR+ cells. PDGFR-derived cells differentiate mostly into Satb2+ neurons in cortical layers I-IV. Thus, a reservoir of embryonically derived progenitors in the meninges contributes to postnatal cerebral cortical neurogenesis.

Transcription profiling of human rimary human neuronal and glial cell cultures response to estrogen treatment

Project description:The purpose of this experiment was to identify oestrogen regulated genes in human primary cell cultures of neuronal and glial cells modelling the developing human nervous system. We were especially interested in genes involved in proliferation, differentiation and migration of neuronal cells and genes involved in or linked to neurodegenerative diseases. We have therefore assessed gene expression changes, using Affymetrix GeneChips (HG-U133A), of oestrogen treated human neuronal/ glial cell cultures. We continued with 14 selected genes and confirmed the gene expression changes, by relative quantitative real time PCR, of 6 genes (p< 0.05) important in neuronal development, three of which also are suggested to have links to neurodegenerative diseases. Experiment Overall Design: Primary mixed neuronal/glial cell cultures were established from human brain tissue, which was obtained from 8-12 weeks old fetuses at legal abortion after informed consent from the patients. Procedures were approved by the local Ethics committee at the Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm. A total of 23 tissue samples yielding 9 cell cultures were used in this experiment. Half of the cell cultures were treated with 2ÂµM Î²-oestradiol the day after seeding. The duration of the oestrogen treatment was 7 days and the cells were harvested after 8 days of culturing for RNA extraction. Extracted RNA from untreated respectively oestrogen treated cell cultures were pooled yileding two samples, which were each hybridised to Affymetrix microarrys. In this study oestrogen treatment of human neuronal/glial cell cultures was found to regulate 6 genes important in the development of the nervous system.

Individual Human Cortical Progenitors Can Produce Excitatory and Inhibitory Neurons

Project description:The cerebral cortex is a cellularly-complex structure comprised of a rich diversity of neuronal and glial cell types. Cortical neurons can be broadly categorized into two classes—glutamatergic excitatory neurons and GABAergic inhibitory interneurons. Previous developmental studies in rodents have led to the prevailing model that while excitatory neurons are born from progenitors located in the cortex, cortical interneurons are born from a separate population of progenitors located outside of the developing cortex in the ganglionic eminences1-5. However, the developmental potential of human cortical progenitors has not been thoroughly explored. Here we show that in addition to excitatory neurons and glia, human cortical progenitors are also capable of producing GABAergic neurons with the transcriptional characteristics and morphologies of cortical interneurons. By developing a cellular barcoding tool called “ScRNAseq-compatible Tracer for Identifying Clonal Relationships” (STICR), we were able to perform clonal lineage tracing of 1912 primary human cortical progenitors from six specimens and capture both the transcriptional identities and clonal relationships of their resulting progeny. A subpopulation of cortically-born GABAergic neurons were transcriptionally similar to cortical interneurons born from the caudal ganglionic eminence and these cells were frequently related to excitatory neurons and glia. Thus, our results demonstrate that individual human cortical progenitors can generate both excitatory neurons and cortical interneurons, providing a new framework for understanding the origins of neuronal diversity in the human cortex.

Identification of ASCL1 as a determinant for human iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons

Project description:To better understand how human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) differentiate from progenitor cells into distinct neuronal states, we performed 10x single cell RNA sequencing on in vitro directed differentiation cultures. We established differentiation platforms that model neural induction from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and single cell profiled two systems: 1) co-culture of progenitors and neurons and 2) purified neurons.

Somatic Mutations and Cell Lineage in the Human Brain

Project description:<p>Genetic mutations causing human disease are conventionally thought to be inherited from one's parents and present in all somatic (body) cells. Increasingly however, somatic mutations are implicated in neurological diseases. Somatic mutations that arise during the cell divisions of prenatal brain development are inherited in clonal fashion and can cause neurodevelopmental diseases, even when present at low levels of mosaicism.</p> <p>In this study we use whole genome sequencing of single neurons and bulk tissue to identify somatic mutations in control, and some disease, brains to: 1) identify and catalogue the mutations which shape the somatic neuronal genome; 2) perform a cell lineage analysis of the adult human brain using clonal somatic mutations in cortical neurons; 3) determine patterns of somatic mutations at different ages and in aging related disease phenotypes; and 4) relate cell lineage patterns to cell phenotype in the human brain by separating neuronal, glial, and other cell types.</p>

Expression profiling of Ascl1-reprogrammed P12 Müller glia compared with freshly dissociated progenitors and Müller glia

Project description:Non-mammalian vertebrates have a robust ability to regenerate injured retinal neurons from Müller glia cells (MG) that activate the proneural factor Achaete-scute homolog 1 (Ascl1/Mash1) and de-differentiate into progenitors cells. In contrast, mammalian MG have a limited regenerative response and fail to upregulate Ascl1 after injury. To test whether Ascl1 could restore a neurogenic potential to mammalian MG, we over-expressed Ascl1 in dissociated mouse MG cultures and intact retinal explants. Ascl1-infected MG upregulate retinal progenitor-specific genes, while downregulating glial genes. Furthermore, Ascl1 remodeled the chromatin at its targets from a repressive to active configuration. MG-derived progenitors differentiated into cells that exhibited neuronal morphologies, expressed retinal subtype-specific neuronal markers, and displayed neuron-like physiological responses. These results indicate that a single transcription factor, Ascl1, can produce a neurogenic state in mature Muller glia. Expresssion profiling was used to determine the genes that were changed after Ascl1 infection of P12 cultured Müller glia compared with those present in P0 progenitors and P7-P21 Müller glia Retinas were dissociated and FAC-sorted from Hes5-GFP mice at P0, P7, P10, P14 or P21 and submitted for profiling. WT Retinas were dissociated at P12, grown for 1 week in culture, and infected with lentiviruses expressing Ascl1 or GFP for four days. Total RNA was extracted and submitted for profiling.

Transcriptome and proteome analysis of human brain organoids

Project description:During development of the human cerebral cortex, multipotent neural progenitors generate excitatory neurons and glial cells. Investigations of the transcriptome and epigenome have revealed important gene regulatory networks underlying this crucial developmental event. However, the post-transcriptional control of gene expression and protein abundance during human corticogenesis remains poorly understood. We addressed this issue by using a dual reporter cell line to isolate neural progenitors and neurons from the telencephalic brain organoid tissue and performed cell type and developmental stage-specific transcriptome and proteome analysis. Integrating the two datasets revealed temporal modules of gene expression during human corticogenesis, both at RNA and protein level. Our multiomics approach reveals novel posttranscriptional regulatory mechanisms crucial for fidelity of cortical development.
