Evolutionary changes in promoter and enhancer activity during corticogenesis (non-human)

ABSTRACT: Evolutionary changes in gene regulation during cortical development likely contributed to the expansion and specialization of the cortex. However, the lack of a regulatory map of the embryonic cortex has hindered identification of these changes and the biological processes they influenced. We performed genome-wide epigenetic profiling to compare promoter and enhancer activity during corticogenesis in rhesus and mouse. We identified 2,855 promoters and 8,996 enhancers that have gained activity in based on increased epigenetic marking. To detect biological pathways enriched for these changes, we mapped promoters and enhancers exhibiting epigenetic gains onto modules of co-expressed genes constructed using spatio-temporally rich expression data from developing cortex. We identified multiple modules enriched in lineage epigenetic gains. Gains in enriched modules were associated with genes functioning in neuronal proliferation and migration, cortical patterning, and the extracellular matrix. Gain-enriched modules also showed correlated gene expression patterns and similar transcription factor binding site enrichments in promoters and enhancers, suggesting they are connected by common regulatory mechanisms. Our results reveal coordinated patterns of potential regulatory changes associated with conserved developmental processes in corticogenesis, providing insight into cortical evolution.

Evolutionary changes in promoter and enhancer activity during human corticogenesis (human)

Project description:Evolutionary changes in gene regulation during cortical development likely contributed to the expansion and specialization of the cortex in humans. However, the lack of a regulatory map of the human embryonic cortex has hindered identification of these changes and the biological processes they influenced. We performed genome-wide epigenetic profiling to compare promoter and enhancer activity during corticogenesis in human, rhesus, and mouse. We identified 2,855 promoters and 8,996 enhancers that have gained activity in human based on increased epigenetic marking.

RNA-seq of in vitro differentiation of human embryonic stem cells into cortical neurons over 77 days

Project description:Many neurological and psychiatric disorders affect the cerebral cortex, and a clearer understanding of the molecular processes underlying human corticogenesis will provide greater insight into such pathologies. To date, knowledge of gene expression changes accompanying corticogenesis is largely based on murine data. Here we present a searchable, comprehensive, temporal gene expression dataset encompassing cerebral cortical development from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). Using a modified differentiation protocol and RNA-Seq technology with computational analysis, we identified sets of genes and long non-coding RNAs that significantly change during corticogenesis, and those enriched for disease-associations. Numerous alternatively-spliced genes with varying temporal patterns of expression are revealed, including TGIF1, involved in holoprosencephaly and MARK1, involved in autism. We have created a database (http://cortecon.neuralsci.org) that provides online, query-based access to changes in RNA expression and alternatively spliced transcripts during human cortical development. Nine timepoints (days 0,7,12,19,26,33,49,63,77) covering human corticogenesis from embyronic stem cells.

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.

Benchmarking brain organoid recapitulation of fetal corticogenesis

Project description:Brain organoids (BO) enabled the investigation of human corticogenesis in-vitro with an increasing range of protocols achieving its remarkable recapitulation. However, we lack a resource gathering fetal cortex-specific gene co-expression patterns and their behavior in BO. We complement the current knowledge with a benchmarking of BO versus human corticogenesis, integrating: transcriptomes from in-house differentiated cortical BO (CBO), in-house processed human fetal brain samples, analysis of transcriptomes from different BO systems and of pre-natal cortical samples from the BrainSpan Atlas.

Massively Parallel Genetic Disruption of Enhancers Active During Human Corticogenesis

Project description:Changes in gene regulation have been linked to the expansion of the human cerebral cortex and to neurodevelopmental disorders. However, the biological effects of genetic variation within developmental regulatory elements on human corticogenesis are not well understood. We used sgRNA-Cas9 genetic screens in human neural stem cells (hNSCs) to disrupt 10,674 expressed genes and 2,227 enhancers active in the developing human cortex and determine the resulting effects on cellular proliferation. Gene disruptions affecting proliferation were enriched for genes associated with risk for human neurodevelopmental phenotypes including primary microcephaly and autism spectrum disorder. Although disruptions in enhancers had overall weaker effects on proliferation than gene disruptions, we identified enhancer disruptions that severely perturbed hNSC self-renewal. Disruptions in Human Accelerated Regions and Human Gain Enhancers, regulatory elements implicated in the evolution of the human brain, also perturbed hNSC proliferation, establishing a role for these elements in human neurodevelopment. Integrating proliferation phenotypes with chromatin interaction maps revealed regulatory relationships between enhancers and target genes that contribute to neurogenesis and potentially to human cortical evolution.

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.

Embryonic stem cell-derived cerebral cortex largely reproduces the in vivo epigenetic control of imprinted gene expression [RNA-seq]

Project description:In vitro differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESC) provides models that reproduce in vivo development and cells for therapy. Whether the epigenetic signatures that are crucial for brain development and function and that are sensitive to in vitro culture are similar between native brain tissues and their artificial counterpart generated from ESC is largely unknown. Here, using RNA-seq we have compared the parental origin-dependent expression of imprinted genes (IGs), a model of epigenetic regulation, in cerebral cortex generated either in vivo, or from ESCs using in vitro corticogenesis, a model that reproduces the landmarks of in vivo corticogenesis. For a majority of IGs, the expressed parental alleles were the same for in vivo and in vitro cortex. In most cases, this choice was already set in ESCs and faithfully maintained during the 3 weeks of in vitro corticogenesis. Confirming these findings, methylation, which selects the parental allele to be transcribed, was also largely equivalent between the 2 types of cortex and ESCs. Our results thus indicate that the allele specific expression of imprinted transcripts, a model of epigenetic regulation resulting from a differential methylation of parental genomes, is mostly mimicked in cortical cells derived from ESC.
