A dynamic unfolded protein response contributes to the control of cortical neurogenesis

ABSTRACT: The cerebral cortex contains layers of neurons sequentially generated by distinct lineage-related progenitors. At the onset of corticogenesis, the first-born progenitors are apical progenitors (APs) whose asymmetric division give birth directly to neurons. Later, they switch to indirect neurogenesis by generating intermediate progenitors (IPs), which give rise to projection neurons of all cortical layers. While a direct lineage relationship between APs and IPs has been established, the molecular mechanism that controls their transition remains elusive. Our data suggest that interfering with codon translation speed triggers endoplasmic reticulum stress and the unfolded protein response (UPR), further impairing the generation of IPs and leading to microcephaly. Moreover, we demonstrate that a progressive downregulation of UPR in cortical progenitors acts as physiological signal to amplify IPs and promotes indirect neurogenesis. Thus, our findings reveal a hitherto unrecognized contribution of UPR to cell fate acquisition during mammalian brain development.

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.

Chromatin regulation by BAF170 controls cerebral cortical size and thickness.

Project description:Increased cortical size is essential to the enhanced intellectual capacity of primates during mammalian evolution. The mechanisms that control cortical size are largely unknown. Here, we show that mammalian BAF170, a subunit of the chromatin remodeling complex mSWI/SNF, is an intrinsic factor that controls cortical size. We find that the conditional deletion of BAF170 promotes indirect neurogenesis by increasing the pool of intermediate progenitors (IPs) and results in an enlarged cortex, whereas cortex-specific BAF170 over-expression results an opposing phenotype. Mechanistically, BAF170 competes with BAF155 subunit in the BAF complex, affecting the euchromatin structure and thereby modulating the binding efficiency of Pax6/REST-corepressor complex to Pax6 target genes that regulate the generation of IPs and late cortical progenitors. Our findings reveal a molecular mechanism mediated by the mSWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex that controls cortical architecture. Cortical gene expression is compared between three E12.5 mouse embryos with cortex-specific loss of BAF170 function and three littermate control embryos.

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.

Gene expression profile of the V/SVZ and the CP at E16

Project description:Cell differentiation and proliferation are mutually exclusive. Although differentiating neurons are recognized as post-mitotic non-dividing cells, some Rb- and Rb family (Rb, p107, and p130)-deficient differentiating neurons proliferate and form tumor. Here, we found that the acute inactivation of all Rb family in differentiating cortical excitatory neurons caused radial migration defect and S-phase progression but not cell division, whereas that in cortical progenitors caused the cell division of the differentiating neurons generated from Rb â??/â??; p107 â??/â??; p130 â??/â?? (Rb-TKO) progenitors. Genome-wide DNA methylation analysis revealed that proximal promoters tended to become methylated during differentiation in vivo. DNA demethylation by DNA methyltransferase inhibitor allowed the acutely inactivated Rb-TKO differentiating neurons to undergo G2/M-phase progression. Our finding illustrate that cortical excitatory neurons epigenetically lose their proliferative potency after neurogenesis. 4 samples of the V/SVZ (ventricular/subventricular zone) tissue and 4 samples of the CP (cortical plate) tissue

Project description:Cell differentiation and proliferation are mutually exclusive. Although differentiating neurons are recognized as post-mitotic non-dividing cells, some Rb- and Rb family (Rb, p107, and p130)-deficient differentiating neurons proliferate and form tumor. Here, we found that the acute inactivation of all Rb family in differentiating cortical excitatory neurons caused radial migration defect and S-phase progression but not cell division, whereas that in cortical progenitors caused the cell division of the differentiating neurons generated from Rb –/–; p107 –/–; p130 –/– (Rb-TKO) progenitors. Genome-wide DNA methylation analysis revealed that proximal promoters tended to become methylated during differentiation in vivo. DNA demethylation by DNA methyltransferase inhibitor allowed the acutely inactivated Rb-TKO differentiating neurons to undergo G2/M-phase progression. Our finding illustrate that cortical excitatory neurons epigenetically lose their proliferative potency after neurogenesis. 1 sample of the V/SVZ tissue and the CP tissue

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.

Fezf2 overexpression in murine cortical progenitors in vivo

Project description:Corticospinal motor neurons (CSMN) are one specialized class of cortical excitatory neurons, which connect layer Vb of the cortex to the spinal cord. a master transcription factor –Forebrain expressed zinc finger 2 (Fezf2) – has been identified that is necessary for the fate specification of CSMN. Fezf2 alone can cell-autonomously instruct the acquisition of CSMN-specific features when expressed in diverse, permissive cellular contexts, in vivo. In order to understand the molecular logic underlying the acquisition of CSMN traits upon Fezf2 expression, we compared the in vivo gene expression of FACS-purified cortical progenitors that ectopically expressed Fezf2 to control progenitors. We used in utero electroporation to deliver Fezf2GFP or CtrlGFP expression vectors to neocortical progenitors at E14.5, when they primarily generate CPN of the upper layers. Overexpression of Fezf2 in these progenitors is sufficient to instruct a fate-switch resulting in the generation of CSMN and other subtypes of corticofugal projection neurons. Fezf2GFP- and CtrlGFP -electroporated progenitors were FACS-purified at 24 and 48 hours after surgery and acutely profiled by microarrays.
