Let-7 regulates radial migration of newborn neurons through positive regulation of autophagy

ABSTRACT: During adult neurogenesis, newly formed olfactory bulb (OB) interneurons migrate radially to integrate into specific layers of the OB. Despite the importance of this process, the intracellular mechanisms that regulate radial migration remain poorly understood. Here we find that microRNA (miRNA) let-7 regulates radial migration by modulating autophagy in new-born neurons. Using Argonaute2-immunoprecipitation, we performed global profiling of miRNAs in adult-born OB neurons and identified let-7 as a highly abundant miRNA family. Knockdown of let-7 in migrating neuroblasts prevented radial migration and led to an immature morphology of newly formed interneurons. This phenotype was accompanied by a decrease in autophagic activity. Overexpression of Beclin-1 or TFEB in new-born neurons lacking let-7 resulted in re-activation of autophagy and restored radial migration. Thus, these results reveal a miRNA-dependent link between autophagy and adult neurogenesis with implications for neurodegenerative diseases where these processes are impaired.

Single cell RNAseq of mouse olfactory bulb reveals cellular heterogeneity and activity dependent molecular census of adult-born neurons

Project description:Cellular heterogeneity within the mammalian brain poses a challenge towards understanding its complex functions. Within the olfactory bulb (OB), odor information is processed by subtypes of inhibitory interneurons whose heterogeneity and functionality is influenced by ongoing adult neurogenesis. To investigate this cellular heterogeneity, and to better understand the developmental programs of adult-born neurons, we utilized single cell RNA sequencing and computational modeling to reveal diverse and transcriptionally distinct neuronal and non-neuronal cell types. We also analyzed molecular changes during adult-born interneuron maturation, and uncovered developmental programs within their gene expression profiles. Finally, we discovered that distinct neuronal subtypes are differentially affected by sensory experience. Together, these data provide a transcriptome-based foundation for investigating subtype-specific neuronal function in the OB, charting the molecular profiles that arise during the maturation and integration of adult-born neurons, and documenting activity-dependent changes in the cellular composition of the olfactory system.

ECE2 regulates Neurogenesis and Neuronal Migration during Cortical Development.

Project description:During embryonic development, the cerebral cortex is equipped with excitatory projection and inhibitory interneurons that migrate in organized layers. Periventricular heterotopia (PH) is a rare and heterogeneous disorder in which a subpopulation of new-born projection neurons fails to initiate their radial migration to the cortex, ultimately resulting in bands or nodules of grey matter lining the lateral ventricles underneath a normal cortex. For many years, few genes had been identified that cause this disorder upon disruption, but recently it was shown that PH is genetically a very heterogeneous disease. Here, we study the neurodevelopmental role of endothelin converting enzyme 2 (ECE2), biallelic mutations in which have been identified in two patients with PH. Our results show that manipulation of ECE2 levels or activity in human cerebral organoids and in the developing mouse cortex leads to ectopic localization of neural progenitors and neurons. We uncover the role of ECE2 in neurogenesis and, mechanistically, we identify its involvement in generation and secretion of extracellular matrix and in protein phosphorylation. This strongly suggests ECE2 as a novel candidate gene for PH.

PREGNANCY-RESPONSIVE POOLS OF ADULT NEURAL STEM CELLS FOR TRANSIENT NEUROGENESIS IN MOTHERS

Project description:Adult neural stem cells (NSCs) contribute to lifelong brain plasticity. In the adult mouse ventricular-subventricular zone, NSCs are heterogeneous and, depending on their location in the niche, give rise to different subtypes of olfactory bulb (OB) interneurons. Here we show that multiple regionally-distinct NSCs, including domains that are usually quiescent, are recruited on different gestation days during pregnancy. Synchronized activation of these adult NSC pools generates transient waves of short-lived OB interneurons, especially in layers with less neurogenesis under homeostasis. Using spatial transcriptomics, we identify molecular markers of pregnancy-associated interneurons, and show that some subsets are temporarily needed for own pup recognition. Thus, pregnancy triggers transient, yet behaviorally-relevant neurogenesis, highlighting the physiological relevance of adult stem cell heterogeneity.

The kinesin Kif21b regulates radial migration of cortical projection neurons through a non-canonical function on actin cytoskeleton.

Project description:Completion of neuronal migration is critical for brain development. Kif21b is a plus-end directed kinesin motor protein that promotes intracellular transport and controls microtubule dynamics in neurons. Here we report a physiological function of Kif21b during radial migration of projection neurons in the mouse developing cortex. In vivo analysis in mouse and live imaging on cultured slices demonstrate that Kif21b regulates the radial glia-guided locomotion of new-born neurons independently of its motility on microtubules. Unexpectedly we show that Kif21b directly binds and regulates the actin cytoskeleton both in vitro and in vivo in migratory neurons. We establish that Kif21b-mediated regulation of actin cytoskeleton dynamics influences branching and nucleokinesis during neuronal locomotion. Altogether, our results reveal atypical roles of Kif21b on the actin cytoskeleton during migration of cortical projection neurons

Transcription profiling of mouse functionally distinct radial glial subsets

Project description:Since the discovery of radial glia as the source of neurons, their heterogeneity in regard to neurogenesis has been described by clonal and time-lapse analysis in vitro. However, the molecular determinants specifying neurogenic radial glia differently from radial glia that mostly self-renew remain ill-defined. Here, we isolated two radial glial subsets that co-exist at mid-neurogenesis in the developing cerebral cortex and their immediate progeny. While one subset generates neurons directly, the other is largely non-neurogenic but also gives rise to Tbr2-positive basal precursors, thereby contributing indirectly to neurogenesis. Isolation of ; these distinct radial glia subtypes allowed determining interesting differences in their transcriptome. These transcriptomes were also strikingly different from the transcriptome of radial glia isolated at the end of neurogenesis. This analysis therefore identifies, for the first time, the lineage origin of basal progenitors and the molecular differences of this lineage in comparison to directly neurogenic and gliogenic radial glia.

Decoding Cortical Glial Cell Development

Project description:Mouse cortical radial glial cells (RGCs) are primary neural stem cells that give rise to cortical oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, and olfactory bulb (OB) GABAergic interneurons in late embryogenesis. There are fundamental gaps in understanding how these diverse cell subtypes are generated. Here, by combining single-cell RNA-Seq with intersectional lineage analyses, we show that beginning at around E16.5, neocortical RGCs start to generate ASCL1+EGFR+ apical multipotent intermediate progenitors (MIPCs), which then differentiate into basal MIPCs that express ASCL1, EGFR, OLIG2, and MKI67. These basal MIPCs undergo several rounds of divisions to generate most of the cortical oligodendrocytes and astrocytes and a subpopulation of OB interneurons. Finally, single-cell ATAC-Seq supported our model for the genetic logic underlying the specification and differentiation of cortical glial cells and OB interneurons. Taken together, this work reveals the process of cortical radial glial cell lineage progression and the developmental origins of cortical astrocytes and oligodendrocytes.

Role of small RNA in post-natal olfactory bulb neurogenesis in mouse

Project description:We performed deep-sequencing analysis of small RNA extracted from neuronal progenitors at different developmental stages. The RNA samples were extracted from microdissected tissues of dorsal or lateral sub-ventricular zone (SVZ) (to analyze the immature progenitor pools), of rostral migration stream (RMS) (to analyze the migrating neuroblasts) or of olfactory bulbs (OB) (to analyze both immature and mature neurons). These tissues were dissected from animals at variable ages: P1 and P6 for SVZ samples, P15 and P28 for RMS and OB samples.

RNA seq profile of adult newborn neurons

Project description:The integration of adult-born neurons in the existent neural circuitry is known to be activity-dependent. To decipher the underlying mechanisms, we genetically manipulated excitability of adult-born cells (via cell-specific overexpression of either Kv1.2 or Kir2.1 K+ channels). Longitudinal in vivo Ca2+ imaging and transcriptome analyses revealed that endogenous but not sensory-driven activity governs migration, morphogenesis, survival, and functional integration of adult-born juxtaglomerular neurons in the mouse olfactory bulb. The proper development of these cells required fluctuations of cytosolic Ca2+ levels, phosphorylation of CREB, and pCREB-mediated gene expression. Attenuating Ca2+ fluctuations via K+ channel overexpression strongly downregulated genes involved in neuronal migration, differentiation, and morphogenesis and upregulated the apoptosis-related genes, thus locking adult-born cells in the vulnerable and immature state. Together, the data identify signaling pathways connecting the endogenous intermittent neuronal activity/Ca2+ fluctuations as well as proper Kv1.2/Kir2.1 K+ channel function to migration, maturation, and survival of adult-born neurons.

A conserved molecular logic for neurogenesis to gliogenesis switch in the cerebral cortex [ChIP-seq]

Project description:During development neural stem cells (NSCs) in the cerebral cortex, also known as radial glial cells (RGCs), generate excitatory neurons, followed by production of cortical macroglia and inhibitory neurons that migrate to the olfactory bulb (OB). Understanding the mechanisms for this lineage switch is fundamental for unraveling how proper numbers of diverse neuronal and glial cell types are controlled. We and others recently showed that Shh signaling promotes cortical RGCs to switch lineage to generate cortical oligodendrocytes and OB interneurons. During this lineage switch, cortical RGCs generate intermediate progenitor cells (IPCs) that express Ascl1, Egfr and Olig2, genes critically regulating gliogenesis. The timing of increased Ascl1 expression and the appearance of Egfr+ and Olig2+ cortical progenitors is concurrent with the switch from excitatory neurogenesis to gliogenesis and OB interneuron neurogenesis in the cortex. While Shh signaling promotes Olig2 expression in the developing spinal cord, the exact mechanism for this transcriptional regulation is not known. Further, the transcriptional regulation of Olig2 and Egfr has not been explored. Here we show that in cortical progenitor cells, multiple genetic programs, including Pax6 and Gli3, prevent precocious expression of Olig2, a gene essential for production of cortical oligodendrocytes and astrocytes. We identify multiple distal enhancers that control Olig2 expression in cortical progenitors and show that the mechanisms for regulating Olig2 expression are conserved between mouse and human. Our study reveals evolutionarily conserved regulatory logic controlling the lineage switch of cortical neural stem cells.
