Poly-A RNA profiling of Drosophila neural stem cells and tumor cells reveals genes involved in brain tumorigenesis.

ABSTRACT: Acquisition of unlimited proliferation potential is a critical hallmark of tumor cells. Drosophila neural stem cells called neuroblasts asymmetrically segregate protein determinants such as Brat into one of their two daughter cells to prevent self-renewal and induce neuronal differentiation. Mutations in these fate determinants or defects in their asymmetric segregation result in a fate reversion of the differentiating daughter cells into proliferative ectopic neuroblasts, so-called tumor neuroblasts. Over time, these events result in the formation of large brain tumors that can be maintained indefinitely by transplantation into another fly host. Our transcriptome analysis identifies genes deregulated in these over-proliferative tumor brain cells.

A CDK1 phosphorylation site on Drosophila PAR-3 regulates neuroblast polarisation and sensory organ formation

Project description:The generation of distinct cell fates during development depends on asymmetric cell division of progenitor cells. In the central and peripheral nervous system of Drosophila, progenitor cells respectively called neuroblasts or sensory organ precursors use PAR polarity during mitosis to control cell fate determination in their daughter cells. How polarity and the cell cycle are coupled, and how the cell cycle machinery regulates PAR protein function and cell fate determination is poorly understood. Here, we generate an analog sensitive allele of CDK1 and reveal that its partial inhibition weakens but does not abolish apical polarity in embryonic and larval neuroblasts and leads to defects in polarisation of fate determinants. We describe a novel in vivo phosphorylation of Bazooka, the Drosophila homolog of PAR-3, on Serine180, a consensus CDK phosphorylation site. In some tissular contexts, phosphorylation of Serine180 occurs in asymmetrically dividing cells but not in their symmetrically dividing neighbours. In neuroblasts, Serine180 phosphomutants disrupt the timing of basal polarisation. Serine180 phosphomutants also affect the specification and binary cell fate determination of sensory organ precursors as well as Baz localisation during their asymmetric cell divisions. Finally, we show that CDK1 phosphorylates Serine-S180 and an equivalent Serine on human PAR-3 in vitro.

The tumor suppressor Brat controls neuronal lineages by inhibiting the transcription factors Deadpan and Zelda

Project description:The TRIM-NHL protein Brain tumor (Brat) acts as a tumor suppressor in the Drosophila brain, but how it suppresses tumor formation is not completely understood. Here, we combine temperature controlled brat RNAi with transcriptome analysis to identify the immediate brat targets in Drosophila neuroblasts. Besides the known target Deadpan (Dpn), our experiments identify the transcription factor Zelda (Zld) as a critical target of brat. Our data show that Zld is expressed in neuroblasts and required to allow re-expression of Dpn in transit amplifying intermediate neural progenitors. Upon neuroblast division, Brat is enriched in one daughter cell where its NHL domain directly binds to specific motifs in the 3’UTR of dpn and zld mRNA to mediate their degradation. In brat mutants, both Dpn and Zld continue to be expressed, but inhibition of either transcription factor prevents tumorigenesis. Our genetic and biochemical data indicate that Dpn inhibition requires higher Brat levels than Zld inhibition and suggest a model where stepwise post-transcriptional inhibition of distinct factors ensures sequential generation of fates in a stem cell lineage.

poly-A RNA profiling of Drosophila neural stem cells (type I NBs) and GMCs of different ages reveal genes involved in cell fate stabilization

Project description:Drosophila melanogaster neural stem cells (neuroblasts [NBs]) divide asymmetrically by differentially segregating protein determinants into their daughter cells. Although the machinery for asymmetric protein segregation is well understood, the events that reprogram one of the two daughter cells toward terminal differentiation are less clear. In this study, we use time-resolved transcriptional profiling to identify the earliest transcriptional differences between the daughter cells on their way toward distinct fates. By screening for coregulated protein complexes, we identify vacuolar-type H+–ATPase (v-ATPase) among the first and most significantly down-regulated complexes in differentiating daughter cells. We show that v-ATPase is essential for NB growth and persistent activity of the Notch signaling pathway. Our data suggest that v-ATPase and Notch form a regulatory loop that acts in multiple stem cell lineages both during nervous system development and in the adult gut. We provide a unique resource for investigating neural stem cell biology and demonstrate that cell fate changes can be induced by transcriptional regulation of basic, cell-essential pathways.

Profiling of Brat associated mRNAs from Drosophila embryos by RIP-CHIP

Project description:The Drosophila TRIM-NHL protein Brain tumor (Brat) plays important roles during early embryogenesis, in cell fate decisions, during neurogenesis and in mature neurons. Brat is an RNA-binding protein and functions as translational repressor. However, which RNAs Brat regulates and how RNA-binding specificity is achieved, is unknown. Using RNA-Immunoprecipitation we identify Brat-bound mRNAs in Drosophila embryos and define a consensus binding motif. Microarrays were used to profile Brat-associated RNAs from fly embryos.

Expression profiling of prospero mutant VNC cells in Drosophila embryos

Project description:Paper abstract: Stem cells have the remarkable ability to give rise to both self-renewing and differentiating daughter cells. Drosophila neural stem cells segregate cell-fate determinants from the self-renewing cell to the differentiating daughter at each division. Here, we show that one such determinant, the homeodomain transcription factor Prospero, regulates the choice between stem cell self-renewal and differentiation. We have identified the in vivo targets of Prospero throughout the entire genome. We show that Prospero represses genes required for self-renewal, such as stem cell fate genes and cell-cycle genes. Surprisingly, Prospero is also required to activate genes for terminal differentiation. We further show that in the absence of Prospero, differentiating daughters revert to a stem cell-like fate: they express markers of self-renewal, exhibit increased proliferation, and fail to differentiate. These results define a blueprint for the transition from stem cell self-renewal to terminal differentiation. 6 wildtype samples and 6 prospero mutant samples were hybridised to arrays against a commom reference sample (generated from whole embryo cDNA). The prospero samples were indirectly compared to the wildtype samples via the common reference. Half the wildtype and half of the prospero arrays were dye-swapped.

Opposite Imp/Syp temporal gradients govern birth time-dependent neuronal fates

Project description:Generating diverse neurons involves spatially distinct neural stem cells that show age dependent developmental fates. Drosophila neuroblasts produce long, diverse yet stereotyped series of distinct neurons, called lineages. We searched for novel temporal factors that could pattern such extended lineages by RNA-sequencing of specific neuroblasts at various developmental times. We found that two RNA-binding proteins, Imp and Syp, display opposing high-to-low and low-to-high temporal gradients with distinct dynamics in specific lineages. Manipulating Imp/Syp levels in mushroom body neuroblasts revealed opposing roles in the specification of early and late temporal fates, primarily via regulation of Chinmo translation. This study implicates the opposing Imp/Syp gradients as temporal morphogens that encode stem cell age and govern birth time-dependent offspring cell fate through post-transcriptional regulation of temporal dentity genes.

Spontaneous direct fate conversion of neuroblasts into oligodendrocytes upon demyelination in the adult mouse brain

Project description:After demyelinating insult, the neuronal progenitors of the adult mouse sub-ventricular zone (SVZ) called neuroblasts convert into oligodendrocytes that participate to the remyelination process. We use this rare example of spontaneous fate conversion to identify the molecular mechanisms governing these processes. Using single cell RNA-sequencing, we show that SVZ neuroblasts fate conversion proceeds directly, through formation of a non-proliferating transient cellular state co-expressing markers of both neuronal and oligodendrocyte identities. Transition between the two identities starts immediately after demyelination and occurs gradually, by a stepwise upregulation/downregulation of key TFs and chromatin modifiers. Each step of this fate conversion involves fine adjustments of the transcription and translation machineries as well as tight regulation of metabolism and migratory behaviors. Together, these data constitute the first in-depth analysis of a spontaneous direct cell fate conversion in the adult mammalian CNS.

Transcriptome analysis of Drosophila neural stem cells reveals a transcriptional network for self-renewal.

Project description:Drosophila neuroblasts have emerged as a model for stem cell biology that is ideal for genetic analysis but is limited by the lack of cell-type specific gene expression data. Here, we describe a methodology to isolate large numbers of pure neuroblasts and differentiating neurons that retain both cell cycle and lineage characteristics. We determine transcriptional profiles by mRNA sequencing and identify 28 predicted neuroblast specific transcription factors, which can be arranged in a network containing hubs for Notch signaling, growth control and chromatin regulation. Overexpression and RNAi for these factors identify Klumpfuss as a regulator of self-renewal. We show that loss of Klu function causes premature differentiation while overexpression results in the formation of transplantable brain tumors. Our data represent a valuable resource for Drosophila developmental neurobiology and we describes methodology that can be applied to other invertebrate stem cell lineages as well. comparison of transcriptomes of Drosophila melanogaster larval neuroblasts and their differentiated daughter cells (neurons)

A comprehensive temporal patterning gene network in Drosophila medulla neuroblasts revealed by single-cell RNA sequencing

Project description:During development, neural stem cells are temporally patterned to sequentially generate a variety of neural types before exiting the cell cycle. Temporal patterning is well-studied in Drosophila, where neural stem cells called neuroblasts sequentially express cascades of Temporal Transcription Factors (TTFs) to control the birth-order dependent neural specification. However, currently known TTFs were mostly identified through candidate antibody screening and may not be complete. In addition, many fundamental questions remain concerning the TTF cascade initiation, progression, and termination. It is also not known why temporal progression only happens in neuroblasts but not in their differentiated progeny. In this work, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing of Drosophila medulla neuroblasts of all ages to study the temporal patterning process with single-cell resolution. Our scRNA-seq data revealed that sets of genes involved in different biological processes show high to low or low to high gradients as neuroblasts age. We also identified a list of novel TTFs, and experimentally characterized their roles in the temporal progression and neural fate specification. Our study revealed a comprehensive temporal gene network that patterns medulla neuroblasts from start to end. Furthermore, we found that the progression and termination of this temporal cascade also require transcription factors differentially expressed along the differentiation axis (neuroblasts -> -> neurons). Lola proteins function as a speed modulator of temporal progression in neuroblasts; while Nerfin-1, a factor required to suppress de-differentiation in post-mitotic neurons, acts at the final temporal stage together with the last TTF of the cascade, to promote the switch to gliogenesis and the cell cycle exit. Our comprehensive study of the medulla neuroblast temporal cascade illustrated mechanisms that might be conserved in the temporal patterning of neural stem cells.
