Cell cycle-independent temporal identity transitions in cortical progenitor cells as revealed by single cell transcriptome analysis

ABSTRACT: During cerebral development, a variety of neurons are sequentially generated by self-renewing progenitor cells, apical progenitors (APs). A temporal change in AP identity is thought to produce a diversity of progeny neurons, while underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. Here we performed single cell genome-wide transcriptome profiling of APs at different neurogenic stages, and identified a set of genes that are temporally expressed in APs in a manner independent of differentiation state. Surprisingly, the temporal pattern of such AP gene expression was not affected by arresting cell cycling. Consistently, a transient cell cycle arrest of APs in vivo did not prevent descendant neurons to acquire their correct laminar fates. in vitro cell culture of APs revealed that transitions in AP gene expression involved in both cell-autonomous and non-autonomous mechanisms. These results suggest that timers controlling AP temporal identity run independently of cell cycle progression and Notch activation mode.

Apical progenitors remain multipotent throughout cortical neurogenesis

Project description:We used FlashTag, a method to pulse-label and isolate APs in the mouse neocortex with high temporal resolution, to fate-map neuronal progeny following heterochronic transplantation of APs into younger embryos. We find that unlike differentiated IPs, which lose the ability to generate deep layer neurons when transplanted into a younger host, APs are temporally uncommitted and become molecularly respecified to generate normally earlier-born neuron types. These results indicate that AP temporal identity progression occurs in the absence of detectable fate restriction and reveal that differentiation status, rather than embryonic age, is the core determinant of temporal plasticity in the mammalian neocortex.

Heterogeneous fates of simultaneously-born neurons in the cortical ventricular zone

Project description:Neocortical excitatory neurons belong to diverse cell types, which can be distinguished by their dates of birth, laminar location, connectivity and molecular identities. During embryogenesis, apical progenitors (APs) located in the ventricular zone first give birth to deep-layer neurons, and next to superficial-layer neurons. While the overall sequential construction of neocortical layers is well-established, whether multiple neuron types are produced by APs at single time points of corticogenesis is unknown. To address this question, here we used FlashTag to fate-map simultaneously-born (i.e. isochronic) cohorts of AP-born neurons at successive stages of corticogenesis. We reveal that early in corticogenesis, isochronic neurons differentiate into heterogeneous laminar, hodological and molecular cell types. Later on, instead, simultaneously-born neurons have more homogeneous fates. Using single-cell gene expression analyses, we identify an early postmitotic surge in the molecular heterogeneity of nascent neurons during which some early-born neurons initiate and partially execute late-born neuron transcriptional programs. Together, these findings suggest that as corticogenesis unfolds, mechanisms allowing increased homogeneity in neuronal output are progressively implemented, resulting in progressively more predictable neuronal identities.

Temporal patterning of apical progenitors and their daughter neurons in the developing neocortex

Project description:During cortical development, distinct subtypes of glutamatergic neurons are sequentially born and differentiate from dynamic populations of progenitors. How progenitors and their daughter cells are temporally patterned remains unknown. Here, we trace the transcriptional trajectories of successive generations of apical progenitors (APs) and isochronic cohorts of their daughter neurons in the developing mouse neocortex using high temporal resolution parallel single-cell RNA sequencing. We identify and functionally characterize a core set of evolutionarily-conserved temporally patterned genes which drive APs from internally-driven states to more exteroceptive states, revealing a progressively increasing role for extracellular signals as corticogenesis unfolds. These embryonic age-dependent AP molecular states are reflected in their neuronal progeny as successive ground states, onto which essentially conserved early post-mitotic differentiation programs are applied. Thus, temporally unfolding molecular birthmarks present in progenitors act in their post-mitotic progeny as seeds for adult neuronal diversity.

Tbr1 regulates regional and laminar identity of postmitotic neurons in developing neocortex

Project description:Areas and layers of the cerebral cortex are specified by genetic programs that are initiated in progenitor cells and then, implemented in postmitotic neurons. Here, we report that Tbr1, a transcription factor expressed in postmitotic projection neurons, exerts positive and negative control over both regional (areal) and laminar identity. Tbr1 null mice exhibited profound defects of frontal cortex and layer 6 differentiation, as indicated by down-regulation of gene-expression markers such as Bcl6 and Cdh9. Conversely, genes that implement caudal cortex and layer 5 identity, such as Bhlhb5 and Fezf2, were up-regulated in Tbr1 mutants. Tbr1 implements frontal identity in part by direct promoter binding and activation of Auts2, a frontal cortex gene implicated in autism. Tbr1 regulates laminar identity in part by downstream activation or maintenance of Sox5, an important transcription factor controlling neuronal migration and corticofugal axon projections. Similar to Sox5 mutants, Tbr1 mutants exhibit ectopic axon projections to the hypothalamus and cerebral peduncle. Together, our findings show that Tbr1 coordinately regulates regional and laminar identity of postmitotic cortical neurons.

Single-cell sequencing of pancreatic tissues of mice with acute pancreatitis under the background of normal diet and high-fat diet was compared

Project description:Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common severe digestive disorder, with severity linked to high-fat diets (HFD). HFD may exacerbate AP by promoting inflammation and altering gut microbiota. Astragalus polysaccharides (APS) possess anti-inflammatory properties, but it is unclear if APS supplementation can mitigate HFD's detrimental effects on AP by modulating gut microbiota. This study investigates the mechanisms by which APS improves HFD-induced AP exacerbation. In this study, C57BL/6 mice were fed HFD or a standard diet, with or without APS, for 12 weeks. AP was induced via intraperitoneal caerulein injection. Analyses included ELISA, Western blotting, histology, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), 16S rRNA sequencing of gut microbiota, and short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) analysis to evaluate inflammation and cellular changes. Results: HFD significantly increased AP severity, indicated by elevated serum enzyme and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, along with extensive pancreatic damage. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) showed a notable rise in ICAM1+ neutrophils and activation of the NF-κB/necroptosis pathway in HAP mice. APS alleviated these effects by decreasing ICAM1+ neutrophil infiltration, downregulating the NF-κB pathway, and reducing necroptosis. Moreover, APS restored gut microbiota balance, significantly boosting Lactobacillus reuteri (L. reuteri) abundance and propionate (PA) levels. Treatments with L. reuteri and PA independently mitigated HFD-induced AP severity, indicating that APS's protective effects are microbiota-dependent. Conclusion: APS improves HFD-induced gut dysbiosis and intestinal barrier dysfunction by enriching L. reuteri and PA, effectively reducing AP exacerbation. Our findings highlight the gut-pancreas axis as a promising target for addressing AP severity.

Proteomics of GPI-anchored proteins

Project description:GPI-anchored proteins (GPI-APs) are an important class of glycoproteins that are tethered to the surface of mammalian cells via the lipid glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI). GPI-APs have been implicated in many important cellular functions including cell adhesion, cell signaling, and immune regulation. Proteomic identification of mammalian GPI-APs en masse has been limited technically by poor sensitivity for these low abundance proteins and the use of methods that destroys cell integrity. Here we present methodology that permits identification of GPI-APs liberated directly from the surface of intact mammalian cells through exploitation of their appended glycans to enrich for these proteins ahead of LC-MS/MS analyses. We validate our approach in HeLa cells, identifying a greater number of GPI-APs from intact cells than has been previously identified from isolated HeLa membranes and a lipid raft preparation. We further apply our approach to define the cohort of endogenous GPI-APs that populate the distinct apical and basolateral membrane surfaces of polarized epithelial cell monolayers. Our approach provides a new method to achieve greater sensitivity in the identification of low abundance GPI-APs from the surface of live cells and the non-destructive nature of the method provides new opportunities for the temporal or spatial analysis of cellular GPI-AP expression and dynamics.

Genome-wide distribution of Pbx1/2/3 in mouse cortex at embryonic day 12.5 [ChIP-seq]

Project description:We demonstrate using conditional mutagenesis that Pbx1, with and without Pbx2+/ sensitization, regulates regional identity and laminar patterning of the developing mouse neocortex in cortical progenitors (Emx1-Cre) and in newly generated neurons (Nex1-Cre). Pbx1/2 mutants have three salient molecular phenotypes of cortical regional and laminar organization: hypoplasia of the frontal cortex, ventral expansion of the dorsomedial cortex, and ventral expansion of Reelin expression in the cortical plate of the frontal cortex, concomitant with an inversion of cortical layering in the rostral cortex. Molecular analyses, including PBX ChIP-seq, provide evidence that PBX promotes frontal cortex identity by repressing genes that promote dorsocaudal fate. Chromatin immunoprecipitation was performed using antibody against Pbx1/2/3/ (sc-888, Santa Cruz). Wild type E12.5 mouse whole cortex was used for the analysis.

Estrogen regulation and physiopathologic significance of alternative promoters in breast cancer

Project description:Alternative promoters (APs) occur in >30% protein-coding genes and contribute to proteome diversity. However, large-scale analyses of AP regulation are lacking, and little is known about their potential physiopathologic significance. To better understand the transcriptomic impact of estrogens, which play a major role in breast cancer, we analyzed gene and AP regulation by estradiol in MCF7 cells using pan-genomic exon arrays. We thereby identified novel estrogen-regulated genes, and determined the regulation of AP-encoded transcripts in 150 regulated genes. In <30% cases, APs were regulated in a similar manner by estradiol, while in >70% cases, they were regulated differentially. The patterns of AP regulation correlated with the patterns of estrogen receptor (ERα) and CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) binding sites at regulated gene loci. Interestingly, among genes with differentially regulated APs, we identified cases where estradiol regulated APs in an opposite manner, sometimes without affecting global gene expression levels. This promoter switch was mediated by the DDX5/DDX17 family of ERα coregulators. Finally, genes with differentially regulated promoters were preferentially involved in specific processes (e.g., cell structure and motility, and cell cycle). We show in particular that isoforms encoded by the NET1 gene APs, which are inversely regulated by estradiol, play distinct roles in cell adhesion and cell cycle regulation, and that their expression is differentially associated with prognosis in ER+ breast cancer. Altogether, this study identifies the patterns of AP regulation in estrogen-regulated genes, demonstrates the contribution of AP-encoded isoforms to the estradiol-regulated transcriptome, as well as their physiopathologic significance in breast cancer.
