Nat14 is a novel essential regulator of neurogenesis by regulating cytoskeletal remodeling

ABSTRACT: Neuronal development involves massive reorganization of cytoskeletal proteins via posttranslational modifications that facilitates morphological remodeling underlying cell-fate changes. Tubulin acetylation has been shown to be essential in several contexts of cellular motility including neuronal migration during cortical development. However, the repertoire of proteins involved in tubulin acetylation remains poorly known. Here, using global gene expression profiles for a range of cell types representing the three embryonic lineages, we identify the acetyltransferase Nat14 as a novel factor specifically induced during cortical development. We find that the loss of Nat14 in neural progenitors blocks neuronal differentiation. Furthermore, such cells retain their progenitor state as reflected by their gene expression signatures and cellular properties. We next show that the cause of these effects are the lack of timely acetylation of tubulin during cortical development with which Nat14 directly physically associates. Cortical cells depleted for Nat14 also fail to migrate towards upper cortical layers that display high levels of acetylated tubulin. In addition, Nat14 was further essential for cellular migration in vitro. Altogether, our study establishes Nat14 as a novel regulator of cortical development by regulating tubulin acetylation dynamics during neurogenesis.

Transcriptional networks identify synaptotagmin-like 3 as a regulator of cortical neuronal migration during early neurodevelopment

Project description:Human brain development is a complex process involving neural proliferation, differentiation, and migration which are directed by many essential cellular factors and drivers. Here, using the NetBID2 algorithm and developing human brain RNA sequencing(RNA-Seq) dataset, we identified synaptotagmin-like 3(SYTL3) as one of the top drivers of early human brain development. Interestingly, SYTL3 exhibited high activity but low expression in both early developmental human cortex and human embryonic stem cell(hESC)-derived neurons. Knockout of SYTL3(SYTL3 -KO) in human neurons or knockdown of Sytl3 in embryonic mouse cortex markedly promoted neuronal migration. Besides, SYTL3-KO caused an abnormal distribution of deep-layer neurons in brain organoids and reduced presynaptic neurotransmitter release in hESC-derived neurons. We further demonstrated that SYTL3-KO- accelerated neuronal migration was modulated by high expression of matrix metalloproteinases. Together, based on bioinformatics and biological experiments, we identified SYTL3 as a novel regulator of cortical neuronal migration in human and mouse developing brains.

Cdk5r1_KO_TMT-10plex_brain_cell-autonomous_proteomics

Project description:Concerted radial migration of newly born cortical projection neurons, from their birthplace to their final target lamina, is a key step in the assembly of the cerebral cortex. The cellular and molecular mechanisms regulating radial neuronal migration in vivo are however still unclear, let alone the effects and interactions with the extracellular environment. Recent evidence suggests that distinct signalling cues act cell-autonomously but differentially at particular steps during the overall migration process. Functional MADM (Mosaic Analysis with Double Markers) analyses in comparison to global knockout also indicate a significant degree of non-cell-autonomous and/or community effects in the control of cortical neuron migration. In this project, we established a MADM-based experimental strategy for the quantitative analysis of cell-autonomous gene function versus non-autonomous and/or community effects, focusing on the Cdk5r1 gene, a neuron-specific activator of Cyclin Dependent Kinase 5 known to play a role, among other functions, in neuronal migration during brain development. This dataset corresponds to a TMT-10plex based proteomics analysis of the effects of full or mosaic KO of Cdk5r1 on the neuronal proteome and aims to provide insights into its distinct cell-autonomous and non-autonomous roles in neuronal migration. This dataset and complementary experimental approaches were integrated using computational modelling to define so far unknown cell-autonomous functions of candidate signalling pathways intersecting with non-cell-autonomous effects to coordinate radial neuron migration.

Gene expression profiling of Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC) after treatment with Erg or control antisense (GeneBloc)

Project description:The endothelial transcription factor Erg (Ets Related Gene) plays an important role in homeostasis and angiogenesis by regulating many endothelial functions including survival and junction stability. Here we show that Erg regulates endothelial cell migration. Transcriptome profiling of Erg-deficient endothelial cells (EC) identified 80 genes involved in cell migration as candidate Erg targets, including regulators of the Rho GTPases. Inhibition of Erg expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) resulted in decreased migration in vitro, whilst Erg over-expression using adenovirus caused increased migration. Live-cell imaging of Erg-deficient HUVEC showed a reduction in lamellipodia, in line with decreased motility. Both actin and tubulin cytoskeletons were disrupted in Erg-deficient EC, with a dramatic increase in tubulin acetylation. Amongst the most significant microarray hit was the cytosolic histone deacetylase (HDAC)-6, a regulator of cell migration. Rescue experiments confirmed that HDAC6 mediates the Erg-dependent regulation of tubulin acetylation and actin localization. The functional role of Erg in EC was studied by gene expressing profiling using three separate HUVEC isolates treated with either control antisense or Erg-specific antisense for 24 or 48 hours.

Tissue-wide Mechanisms Overrule Cell-intrinsic Gene Function in Radial Neuronal Migration

Project description:The mammalian neocortex is composed of diverse neuronal and glial cell classes that broadly arrange in six distinct laminae. Cortical layers emerge during development and defects in the developmental programs that orchestrate cortical lamination are associated with neurodevelopmental diseases. The developmental principle of cortical layer formation is based on concerted radial projection neuron migration, from their birthplace to their final target position. Radial migration occurs in defined sequential steps that are regulated by a large array of signaling pathways. However, based on genetic loss-offunction experiments, most studies have thus far focused on the role of cell-autonomous gene function. Yet, cortical neuron migration in situ is a complex process and migrating neurons traverse along diverse cellular compartments and environments. The role of tissue-wide properties and genetic state in radial neuron migration is however not well understood. Here, we utilized Mosaic Analysis with Double Markers (MADM) technology to either sparsely or globally delete gene function followed by quantitative single cell phenotyping. The MADM-based gene ablation paradigms in combination with computational modeling demonstrated that global tissue-wide effects predominates cell-autonomous gene function albeit in a gene-specific manner. Our results thus suggest that the genetic landscape in a tissue critically impacts the overall migration phenotype of individual cortical projection neurons. In a broader context our findings imply that global tissue-wide effects represent an essential component of the underlying etiology associated with focal malformations of cortical development (FMCD) in particular, and neurological diseases in general.

Microtubule acetylation is required for mechanosensation in Drosophila

Project description:At the cellular level, α-tubulin acetylation alters the structure of microtubules to render them mechanically resistant to compressive forces. How this biochemical property of microtubule acetylation relates to mechanosensation remains unknown, though prior studies have shown that microtubule acetylation influences touch perception. Here, we identify the major Drosophila α-tubulin acetylase (dTAT) and show that it plays key roles in several forms of mechanosensation. dTAT is highly expressed in the larval peripheral nervous system (PNS), but is largely dispensable for neuronal morphogenesis. Mutation of the acetylase gene or the K40 acetylation site in α-tubulin impairs mechanical sensitivity in sensory neurons and behavioral responses to gentle touch, harsh touch, gravity, and vibration stimuli, but not noxious thermal stimulus. Finally, we show that dTAT is required for mechanically-induced activation of NOMPC, a microtubule-associated transient receptor potential channel, and functions to maintain integrity of the microtubule cytoskeleton in response to mechanical stimulation.

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

Dynamic role of Rotatin in mitosis, ciliogenesis and nucleokinesis correlates with variable mutant cerebral phenotypes.

Project description:Recessive mutations in RTTN, encoding centrosome associated protein Rotatin, were originally identified as cause of polymicrogyria, a cortical malformation. With time a wide variety of other brain malformations has been ascribed to RTTN mutations, such as primary microcephaly. However, the function of Rotatin is largely unknown and the molecular disease mechanism underlying these malformations has not yet been elucidated. Here, we report four novel families identified by high throughput sequencing, one of them with a novel deep intronic variant. We reviewed RTTN-related disease phenotypes and defined the spectrum which includes intellectual disability (ID), short stature, microcephaly, lissencephaly, periventricular heterotopia, polymicrogyria and other malformations. Rotatin expression, function and cellular disease phenotype were studied in cultured primary skin fibroblasts from eight unrelated affected individuals. We found that Rotatin deficiency leads to abnormal centrosome amplification during mitosis, resulting in multipolar spindle formation, mitotic failure, increased apoptosis and aneuploidy. In non-dividing healthy cells, Rotatin localizes at the primary cilium, both at basal body and axoneme during ciliogenesis. Interestingly, interphase mutant cells show aberrant ciliogenesis. Proteomics analysis reveals that exogenous Rotatin in HEK293 cells interacts with the non-muscle cellular myosin complex (MYH9-MYH10-MYH14), which is essential for nucleokinesis during neuronal migration. In hiPSC-derived neurons, endogenous Rotatin localizes to the leading edge centrosome, which pulls the perinuclear cage during nucleokinesis, suggesting a pivotal role of Rotatin in neuronal migration. This study sheds light on the pleiotropic cellular functions of Rotatin, explaining disease spectrum linked to both neuronal proliferation and migration.

Coordination of neuron production in mouse and human cerebral cortex by the homolog of Drosophila Mastermind protein

Project description:The coordination of progenitor self-renewal, neuronal production and migration is essential to the normal development and evolution of the cerebral cortex. Numerous studies have shown that the Notch, Wnt/beta-catenin and Neurogenin pathways contribute separately to progenitor expansion, neurogenesis, and neuronal migration, but it is unknown how these signals are coordinated. In vitro studies suggested that the mastermind-like 1 (MAML1) gene, homologue of the Drosophila Mastermind, plays a role in coordinating the afore-mentioned signaling pathways, yet its role during cortical development remains largely unknown. Here we show that ectopic expression of dominant-negative MAML (dnMAML) causes exuberant neuronal production in the mouse cortex without disrupting neuronal migration. Comparing the transcriptional consequences of dnMAML and Neurog2 ectopic expression revealed a complex genetic network controlling the balance of progenitor expansion versus neuronal production. Manilpulation of MAML and Neurog2 in cultured human cerebral stem cells exposed interactions with the same set of signaling pathways. Thus, our data suggest that evolutionary changes that affect the timing, tempo and density of successive neuronal layers of the small lissencephalic rodent and large convoluted primate cerebral cortex depend on similar molecular mechanisms that act from the earliest developmental stages.

Expression data from Ankrd11Yod/+ and WT embryonic cortical neurospheres

Project description:Ankrd11 is a potential chromatin regulator implicated in neural development and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with no known function in the brain. Here, we show that knockdown of Ankrd11 in developing murine or human cortical neural precursors caused decreased proliferation, reduced neurogenesis, and aberrant neuronal positioning. Similar cellular phenotypes and aberrant ASD-like behaviors were observed in Yoda mice carrying a point mutation in the Ankrd11 HDAC-binding domain. Consistent with a role for Ankrd11 in histone acetylation, Ankrd11 was associated with chromatin, colocalized with HDAC3, and expression and histone acetylation of Ankrd11 target genes were altered in Yoda neural precursors. Moreover, the Ankrd11 knockdown-mediated decrease in precursor proliferation was rescued by inhibiting histone acetyltransferase activity or expressing HDAC3. Thus, Ankrd11 is a crucial epigenetic regulator of neural development that controls histone acetylation and gene expression, thereby providing a likely explanation for its association with cognitive dysfunction and ASD. We used microarrays to compare the gene expression profile in embryonic neurospheres prepared from neocortices of WT and Ankrd11Yod/+ mice E14.5 cortical secondary neurosheres 5 days post-passage were collected and total RNA extracted. cDNA was hybridized on Affymetrix Mouse Gene 2.0 ST Array and gene expression was analyzed using Parterk software. In total, 6 Ankrd11Yod/+ and 5 WT embryos were used.
