The PTBP1-associated long noncoding RNA Pnky regulates embryonic and postnatal neural stem cells

ABSTRACT: While thousands of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified, few lncRNAs that control neural stem cell (NSC) behavior are known. Here, we identify Pinky (Pnky) as a novel, neural-specific lncRNA that regulates neurogenesis from NSCs in the embryonic and postnatal brain. In postnatal NSCs, Pnky knockdown potentiates neuronal lineage commitment and expands the transit-amplifying cell population, increasing neuron production several-fold. Pnky is evolutionarily conserved and expressed in NSCs of the developing human brain. In the embryonic mouse cortex, Pnky knockdown increases neuronal differentiation and depletes the NSC population. Pnky interacts with splicing regulator PTBP1, and PTBP1 knockdown also enhances neurogenesis. In NSCs, Pnky and PTBP1 regulate the expression and alternative splicing of a core set of transcripts that relates to the cellular phenotype. These data thus unveil Pnky as a conserved lncRNA that interacts with a key RNA processing factor and regulates a critical stage of neurogenesis from embryonic and postnatal NSC populations.

A lysine demethylase-independent function of Phf2 regulates cohesin-mediated DNA replication for neural stem cell activation

Project description:The activation of quiescent neural stem cells (qNSCs) in the dentate gyrus is required for lifelong neurogenesis. However, the mechanisms that promote the exit of neural stem cells (NSCs) from quiescence remain elusive. We demonstrate that the expression of plant homeodomain finger protein 2 (Phf2) activates the exit of postnatal mouse NSC from shallow quiescence. Loss of Phf2 prevents NSC activation and neurogenesis in postnatal 30 (P30) mice but does not decrease the label-retaining NSC pool, indicating that Phf2 is not required for the exit of NSC from quiescence. NSC-specific deletion of Phf2 modestly compromises embryonic mouse NSC proliferation without increasing apoptosis, indicating that Phf2 is crucial for embryonic development. Moreover, human cortical organoids reveal that Phf2 promotes NPC proliferation via a lysine demethylase-independent manner. Mechanistically, Phf2 directly binds to the cohesion complex via Rad21 and regulates the DNA replication in mouse NSC by associating with the cohesion complex releasing protein Wapl activity. Our study identifies the Phf2-cohesin complex mediated DNA replication for neural stem cell activation in a lysine demethylase-independent manner.

Integration of genome-wide approaches identifies lncRNAs of adult neural stem cells and their progeny in vivo [lncRNA Array]

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been described in cell lines and various whole tissues, but lncRNA analysis of development in vivo is limited. Here, we comprehensively analyze lncRNA expression for the adult mouse subventricular zone neural stem cell lineage. We utilize complementary genome-wide techniques including RNA-seq, RNA CaptureSeq, and ChIP-seq to associate specific lncRNAs with neural cell types, developmental processes, and human disease states. By integrating data from chromatin state maps, custom microarrays, and FACS purification of the subventricular zone lineage, we stringently identify lncRNAs with potential roles in adult neurogenesis. shRNA-mediated knockdown of two such lncRNAs, Six3os and Dlx1as, indicate roles for lncRNAs in the glial-neuronal lineage specification of multipotent adult stem cells. Our data and workflow thus provide a uniquely coherent in vivo lncRNA analysis and form the foundation of a user-friendly online resource for the study of lncRNAs in development and disease. SVZ monolayer cultures were differentiated in vitro for 1,2,4 days, and gene expression changes were measured. SVZ lineage was isolated by FACS using established protocols to separate transit amplifying (TA), neuroblast (NB), activated stem cells (NSCs), and niche astrocytes (astros), and gene expression of each cell type was measured. All arrays are custom lncRNA arrays.

Rack1 is Essential for Corticogenesis by Preventing P21-Dependent Senescence in Neural Stem Cells

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.

Histone lysine demethylase JMJD3/KDM6B is required for the establishment of adult hippocampal neurogenesis

Project description:Mutations in the JMJD3 (KDM6B) chromatin regulator are causally associated with autism spectrum disorder and syndromic intellectual disability, but the neurodevelopmental roles of this histone 3 lysine 27 (H3K27) demethylase are poorly understood. Neural stem cells (NSCs) in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) generate new granule neurons throughout life, and deficits in DG neurogenesis are associated with cognitive and behavioral problems. Here we show that Jmjd3 is required for the establishment of adult neurogenesis in the mouse DG. Conditional deletion of Jmjd3 in embryonic DG precursors results in an adult hippocampus that is essentially devoid of NSCs. While early postnatal mice with Jmjd3-deletion have near normal numbers of DG NSCs, at later stages, Jmjd3-deleted NSCs fail to propagate normally. In addition to the loss of NSCs during postnatal development, neurogenesis from Jmjd3-deleted NSCs is impaired, corresponding to defective neurogenic gene expression. Without Jmjd3, NeuroD2 and Bcl11b(Ctip2) are not properly expressed and exhibit increased levels of H3K27me3, underscoring the role of Jmjd3 in the regulation of transcription for neuronal differentiation. Thus, these data indicate that Jmjd3 plays dual roles in postnatal DG neurogenesis, being critical for the establishment of the NSC pool as well as the differentiation of young DG granule neurons. More broadly, our results suggest a neurodevelopmental link between JMJD3 mutations and hippocampal dysfunction, providing new insights into how mutations in chromatin regulators may contribute to learning disorders.

Expression profiling analysis of mouse E10.5 Magoh mutant brain cortices

Project description:Human brain structure and size requires regulated division of neural stem cells (NSCs). NSCs undergo precise divisions to self-renew and to produce intermediate neural progenitors (INPs) and neurons. The factors that regulate NSC divisions remain poorly understood, as do mechanistic explanations of how aberrant NSC division causes reduced brain size, as seen in microcephaly. Here we demonstrate that Magoh, a component of the core exon junction complex (EJC) that binds spliced RNA, controls cerebral cortical size by regulating NSC division. Magoh haploinsufficiency causes microcephaly due to INP depletion, neuronal apoptosis, and improper mitotic spindle orientation. Defective mitosis underlies these phenotypes as depletion of EJC components disrupts mitotic spindle integrity, chromosome number and genomic stability. We show that an essential function of Magoh is to regulate expression of the human microcephaly protein, LIS1, and that Lis1 addition rescues neurogenesis defects caused by Magoh knockdown, thus providing a genetic explanation for the microcephaly. This study uncovers new requirements for the EJC in brain development, NSC maintenance, mitosis and chromosome stability, thus implicating this complex in the pathogenesis of microcephaly. Mouse embryonic cortices were used for expression analysis 5 biological replicates each of control (C57BL/6) and Magoh mutant brains were analyzed

Dual and separable roles for Ezh2 in neurogenic astroglia

Project description:The epigenetic mechanisms that enable specialized astrocytes to retain neurogenic competence throughout adult life are still poorly understood. Here we show that astrocytes that serve as neural stem cells (NSCs) in the adult mouse subventricular zone (SVZ) express the histone methyltransferase EZH2. This Polycomb repressive factor is required for neurogenesis independent of its role in SVZ NSC proliferation, as Ink4a/Arf-deficiency in Ezh2-deleted SVZ NSCs rescues cell proliferation, but neurogenesis remains defective. Olig2 is a direct target of EZH2, and repression of this bHLH transcription factor is critical for neuronal differentiation. Furthermore, Ezh2 prevents the inappropriate activation of genes that specify non-SVZ neuronal subtypes. In the human brain, SVZ cells including local astroglia also express EZH2, correlating with postnatal neurogenesis. Thus, EZH2 is an epigenetic regulator that distinguishes neurogenic SVZ astrocytes, orchestrating distinct and separable aspects of adult stem cell biology, which has important implications for regenerative medicine and oncogenesis.

Extracellular vesicles derived from the choroid plexus trigger neural stem cells differentiation

Project description:An organized network of beating cilia transports cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) through the ventricles of the brain. CSF takes along diverse solutes including extracellular vesicles (EV), which arise from the choroid plexus, a secretory epithelium that reaches into the ventricles. Along their path through the ventricles, EVs have the opportunity to contact neural stem cell (NSC) niches. We purified EVZ310 produced by a choroid plexus-cell line, by differential centrifugation and flotation in iodixanol density gradients. We co-cultured suspensions of EVZ310 with NSC from the lateral and third ventricle. Alternatively, EVZ310 were dried-down on a polymer substrate and a suspension of NSCs was added. In both cases, EV Z310 induced, in a dose dependent manner, the NSC to rapidly form cellular networks accompanied by the expression of genes characteristic for neurons (Tuj1) and astrocytes (Gfap). NSCs from either origin responded to EVZ310 qualitatively and quantitatively in a very similar way. By contrast, EVMEF purified from mouse embryonic fibroblasts had little effect on both types of NSC. Mass spectrometry revealed significant differences in composition between EVMEF and EVZ310 proteomes. Notably, EVZ310 were enriched for the membrane or membrane associated proteins known to be involved in neurogenesis, cell differentiation, membrane trafficking and membrane organization.

Converged Epitranscriptomic Co-regulation of TGFβ Signaling Components Suppresses the Quiescence Transition of Early Postnatal Hippocampal Neural Stem Cells

Project description:Quiescence acquisition of proliferating neural stem cells (NSCs) is required to establish the adult NSC pool yet the underlying molecular mechanisms are not well-understood. Here we showed that conditional deletion of the m6A reader Ythdf2, which promotes mRNA decay, in proliferating NSCs in the early postnatal mouse hippocampus led to elevated quiescence acquisition with decreased neurogenesis. Multimodal profiling of m6A modification, YTHDF2 binding, and mRNA decay in hippocampal NSCs identified shared targets in multiple TGFβ signaling pathway components, including TGFβ ligands, maturation factors, receptors, transcription regulators, and signaling regulators. Functionally, Ythdf2 deletion led to TGFβ signaling activation in NSCs, suppression of which rescued elevated quiescence acquisition of proliferating hippocampal NSCs. Our study reveals the dynamic nature and critical roles of mRNA decay in establishing the quiescent adult hippocampal NSC pool and uncovers a novel mode of epitranscriptomic control via co-regulation of multiple components of the same signaling pathway.

A chromatin modulator sustains self-renewal and enables differentiation of postnatal neural stem cells

Project description:It remains largely unclear if efficient H3K4 methylation, an epigenetic modification associated with gene activation, regulates fate determination of the postnatal neural stem cells (NSCs). By inactivating the Dpy30 subunit of the major mammalian H3K4 methyltransferase complexes in specific regions of mouse brain, we demonstrate a crucial role of efficient H3K4 methylation in maintaining both the self-renewal and differentiation capacity of postnatal NSCs. Loss Dpy30 disrupts the development of dentate gyrus and subventricular zone, the major regions for postnatal NSC activities. Dpy30 is indispensable for sustaining the self-renewal of NSCs in a cell-intrinsic manner. Dpy30 also enables the differentiation of mouse and human neural progenitor cells to neuronal and glial lineages. Dpy30 directly regulates H3K4 methylation and the induction of several genes critical in neurogenesis. These findings link a prominent epigenetic mechanism of gene expression to the fundamental properties of NSCs, and may have implications in neurodevelopmental disorders.
