Choroid plexus defects in Down syndrome brain organoids enhance neurotropism of SARS-CoV-2

Project description:Why individuals with Down Syndrome (DS, trisomy 21) are particularly susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 induced disease remains largely unclear. The choroid plexus secrets the cerebrospinal fluid and strongly expresses the ACE2 receptor and the chromosome 21 encoded TMPRSS2 protease. To investigate the role of the choroid plexus in SARS-CoV-2 central nervous system infection in DS, we established a new type of brain organoid from DS and isogenic euploid control iPSC that consists of a core of appropriately patterned functional cortical neuronal cell types that is surrounded by a patent and functional choroid plexus (CPCOs). Remarkably, DS-CPCOs not only recapitulated abnormal features of DS cortical development but also revealed defects in ciliogenesis and epithelial cell polarity of the developing choroid plexus. We next demonstrate that the choroid plexus layer facilitates SARS-CoV-2 replication and infection of cortical neuronal cells, and that this is increased in DS-CPCOs. We further show that inhibition of TMPRSS2 activity in DS-CPCOs inhibits SARS-CoV-2 infectivity. We conclude that CPCOs are a useful model for dissecting the role of the choroid plexus in euploid and DS forebrain development and enables screening for therapeutics that can inhibit SARS-CoV-2 induced neuro-pathogenesis.

Human Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Neural Cells and Brain Organoids Reveal SARS-CoV-2 Neurotropism Predominates in Choroid Plexus Epithelium

Project description:Neurological complications are common in patients with COVID-19. While SARS-CoV-2, the causal pathogen of COVID-19, has been detected in some patient brains, its ability to infect brain cells and impact their function are not well understood, and experimental models using human brain cells are urgently needed. Here we investigated the susceptibility of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived monolayer brain cells and region-specific brain organoids to SARS-CoV-2 infection. We found modest numbers of infected neurons and astrocytes, but greater infection of choroid plexus epithelial cells. We optimized a protocol to generate choroid plexus organoids from hiPSCs, which revealed productive SARS-CoV-2 infection that leads to increased cell death and transcriptional dysregulation indicative of an inflammatory response and cellular function deficits. Together, our results provide evidence for SARS-CoV-2 neurotropism and support use of hiPSC-derived brain organoids as a platform to investigate the cellular susceptibility, disease mechanisms, and treatment strategies for SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Gene expression data from normal mouse choroid plexus, choroid plexus papilloma and choroid plexus carcinoma

Project description:Atoh1-Cre; Myc/Myc mice developed choroid plexus papilloma and Atoh1-Cre; Myc/Myc; p53fl/fl mice developed choroid plexus carcinoma. By studying the gene expression profiles of normal choroid plexus, choroid plexus papilloma and choroid plexus carcinoma in mice, we aim to gain a better understanding of the biology of choroid plexus tumors

Gene expression profiles obtained from laser-microdissected human choroid plexus papilloma cells

Project description:Gene expression profiles generated from human tumor cells laser-microdissected from surgical samples of seven choroid plexus papillomas (Grade I WHO) as eight samples of epithelial cells lasermicrodissected from normal choroid plexus obtained at autopsy. Choroid plexus tumors are rare pediatric brain tumors derrived from the choroid plexus epithelium. Gene expression profiles of lasermicrodissected tumor cells from 7 individual choroid plexus tumor samples obtained at surgery were compared to gene expression profiles from non-neoplastic choroid plexus epithelial cells lasermicrodissected from normal non-neoplastic choroid plexus obtained at autopsy (Am J Surg Pathol. 2006 Jan;30(1):66-74.) in order to identfy genes differentially expressed in choroid plexus tumor cells.

Gene expression of the human choroid plexus epithelium (CPE)

Project description:We investigated the gene expression of the human CPE.We isolated CPE cells from healthy human donor choroid plexus tissues with laser dissection microscopy. Next, we performed RNA isolation, amplification, labeling and hybridization against 44k Agilent microarrays. We performed the microarrays against a common reference sample, namely human RPE/choroid RNA. We performed 7 replicates of human CPE samples from 7 different donors.

Transcriptional profiling of transport mechanisms and regulatory pathways in rat choroid plexus

Project description:Transcriptomic profile of rat choroid plexus (whole tissue) of both male and female sex, epithelial cells captured by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), and compared to proximal tubules of the kidneys. The transcriptomic profile of choroid plexus displays high similarity between sex and choroid plexus epithelial cells, and lesser similarity to another secretory epithelium, the proximal tubules. The analysis provides an insight into transport mechanisms that could participate in CSF secretion and suggest regulatory candidates.

OTX2 homeoprotein regulates adult choroid plexus activity

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.
