Project description:Laser capture microdissected choroid plexuses were obtained and expression arrays were generated to investigate gene expression in wt and ApoE choroid plexuses; the choroid plexus forms the cerebrospinal fluid, the cerebrospinal fliod barrier, functions as the major gateway for blood-born leukocytes to enter the brain in degenerative and inflammatory brain diseases, and the principal neuroimmune interface in the brain. We found lipid deposits in the aged choroid plexus of hyperlipidemic mice but none in the wt control choroid plexuses. Here, we studied the functional impact and gene epressions in wt and ApoE-deficient choroid plexuses.

Project description:Choroid plexus secretes cerebrospinal fluid important for brain development and homeostasis. The OTX2 homeoprotein is critical for choroid plexus development and remains highly expressed in adult choroid plexus. Through RNA sequencing analyses of constitutive and conditional knockdown adult mouse models, we reveal putative roles for OTX2 in choroid plexus function, including cell signaling and adhesion, and show that it regulates the expression of factors secreted into cerebrospinal fluid, notably transthyretin. We also show that Otx2 expression impacts choroid plexus immune and stress responses, and also affects splicing which leads to changes in mRNA isoforms of proteins implicated in oxidative stress response and DNA repair. Through mass spectrometry analysis of OTX2 protein partners in the choroid plexus, and in known non-cell autonomous target regions such as visual cortex and subventricular zone, we identified putative targets involved in cell adhesion, chromatin structure and RNA processing. Thus, OTX2 retains important roles in choroid plexus function and brain homeostasis throughout life.

Project description:Tumor-associated hydrocephalus (TAH) is a common and lethal complication of brain metastases. Although other factors beyond mechanical obstructions have been suggested, the exact mechanisms are unknown. Using single-nucleus RNA-sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, we find that a distinct population of mast cells locate in the choroid plexus and dramatically increase during TAH. Genetic fate-tracing and intracranial mast cell-specific tryptase knockout showed that choroid plexus mast cells (CPMCs) disrupt cilia of choroid plexus epithelia via the tryptase-PAR2-FoxJ1 pathway and consequently increase cerebrospinal fluid production. Mast cells are also found in the human choroid plexus. Levels of tryptase in cerebrospinal fluid are closely associated with clinical severity of TAH. BMS-262084, an inhibitor of tryptase, can cross blood-brain-barrier, inhibits TAH in vivo and alleviates mast cell-induced damage of epithelial cilia in a human pluripotent stem cell-derived choroid plexus organoid model. Collectively, we uncover the function of CPMCs and provide an attractive therapy for TAH.

Project description:The choroid plexus is an important source of trophic factors for the developing and mature brain. Recently we described the expression and production of mature insulin in epithelial cells of the choroid plexus, and how its secretion can be modulated by serotonin through Htr2c, a metabotropic receptor that signals via Gq. To understand the function of this choroid plexus-derived insulin, here we describe a way to genetically target epithelial cells of the choroid plexus using a viral vector. With this, we modulated insulin expression and evaluated behavior. Insulin overexpression in the choroid plexus of wild type mice led to an inhibition in feeding, whereas insulin knockdown in choroid plexus of Ins1-/-Ins2fl/fl mice promoted discrete increases in food intake, especially after a period of fasting. Insulin overexpression in choroid plexus induced roust transcriptomic changes in the hypothalamus, most of which related to axonal growth and synapse-related processes. Finally, activation of Gq signaling in insulin-overexpressing choroid plexuses led to acute AKT phosphorylation in neurons of the arcuate nucleus, suggesting a direct action, through the CSF, of choroid plexus-derived insulin on the hypothalamus. Taken together our findings prove that the choroid plexus is a relevant source of insulin in the central nervous system, with physiological implications in feeding behavior. We believe that choroid plexus-derived insulin has to be taken into consideration in future work pertaining insulin actions in the brain.

Project description:The choroid plexus produces cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by transport of electrolytes and water from the vasculature to the brain ventricles. The choroid plexus plays additional roles in brain development and homeostasis by secreting neurotrophic molecules, and by serving as a CSF-blood barrier and immune interface. Prior studies have identified transporters on the epithelial cells that transport water and ions into the ventricles and tight junctions involved in the CSF-blood barrier. Yet, how the choroid plexus epithelial cells maintain the brain ventricle system and control brain physiology remain unresolved. To provide novel insights into the physiological roles of the choroid plexus, we use juvenile and adult zebrafish as model systems. Upon histological and transcriptomic analyses, we first identified that the zebrafish choroid plexus is highly conserved with the mammalian choroid plexus and that it expresses all transporters necessary for CSF secretion. Using novel genetic lines, we also identified that the choroid plexus secretes proteins into the CSF. Next, we generated a transgenic line allowing us to ablate specifically the epithelial cells in the choroid plexus. Using the ablation system, we identified a reduction of the ventricular sizes, but no alterations of the CSF-blood barrier. Altogether, our findings identified that the zebrafish choroid plexus is evolutionarily conserved and critical for maintaining the size and homeostasis of the brain ventricles.

Project description:Myotonic dystrophy type 1 is a dominantly inherited multisystemic disease caused by CTG tandem repeat expansions in the DMPK 3' untranslated region. These expanded repeats are transcribed and produce toxic CUG RNAs that sequester and inhibit activities of the MBNL family of developmental RNA processing factors. Although myotonic dystrophy is classified as a muscular dystrophy, the brain is also severely affected by an unusual cohort of symptoms, including hypersomnia, executive dysfunction, as well as early onsets of tau/MAPT pathology and cerebral atrophy. To address the molecular and cellular events that lead to these pathological outcomes, we recently generated a mouse Dmpk CTG expansion knockin model and identified choroid plexus epithelial cells as particularly affected by the expression of toxic CUG expansion RNAs. To determine if toxic CUG RNAs perturb choroid plexus functions, alternative splicing analysis was performed on lateral and hindbrain choroid plexi from Dmpk CTG knockin mice. Choroid plexus transcriptome-wide changes were evaluated in Mbnl2 knockout mice, a developmental-onset model of myotonic dystrophy brain dysfunction. To determine if transcriptome changes also occurred in the human disease, we obtained post-mortem choroid plexus for RNA-seq from donors without neurologically unaffected (two females, three males; ages 50-70) and myotonic dystrophy type 1 donors (one female, three males; ages 50-70). To test that choroid plexus transcriptome alterations resulted in altered CSF composition, we obtained CSF via lumbar puncture from patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (five females, five males; ages 35-55) and non-myotonic dystrophy patients (three females, four males; ages 26-51) and Western blot and osmolarity analyses were used to test CSF alterations predicted by choroid plexus transcriptome analysis. We determined that CUG RNA induced toxicity was more robust in the lateral choroid plexus of Dmpk CTG knockin mice due to comparatively higher Dmpk and lower Mbnl RNA levels. Impaired transitions to adult splicing patterns during choroid plexus development were identified in Mbnl2 knockout mice, including mis-splicing previously found in Dmpk CTG knockin mice. Whole transcriptome analysis of myotonic dystrophy type 1 choroid plexus revealed disease-associated RNA expression and mis-splicing events. Based on these RNA changes, predicted alterations in ion homeostasis, secretory output, and CSF composition were confirmed by analysis of myotonic dystrophy type 1 CSF. Our results implicate choroid plexus spliceopathy and concomitant alterations in CSF homeostasis as an unappreciated contributor to myotonic dystrophy type 1 CNS pathogenesis.

Project description:The choroid plexus (CP) constitutes one of the blood–brain barriers – the blood cerebrospinal fluid barrier. It is formed by a monolayer of epithelial cells located within the brain ventricles and in addition to be responsible for the formation of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is ideally positioned to transmit signals into and out of the brain. Specifically, here, we evaluated the overall kinetic response of the mouse CP to peripheral administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) that is the Gram-negative bacteria cell wall. This study shows that as soon as 1h after the injection, the CP responds by altering the expression of several genes. This response reaches a maximum at 3h and returns to the basal profile for most of the transcripts at 72h. To do this analysis we compared the CP transcriptome of LPS injected animals with the CP transcriptome of saline injected animals and using this we also dissect the CP basal transcriptome. From this analysis we confirm that the genes most highly expressed were those implicated in energy metabolism (oxidative phosphorylation, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis) and in ribosomal function, which is in agreement with the secretory nature of the CP. Finally, we also describe genes not previously identified as being expressed in the basal CP. Gene expression study in choroid plexus. Time series after acute LPS treatment

Project description:Choroid plexuses (CP) develop early during development. They form a barrier between the blood and the cerebrospinal fluid, and fulfill important protective and nutritive functions. We used Affymetrix microarrays to assess whether CP of the lateral ventricles (LVCP) have similar functions in developing and adult brain. We identified distinct families of protective and transport genes and found that most of these genes were already well expressed during development. 2 batches of CP from embryonic day E19, postnatal day 2 and adult rats were processed for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
