Composition of the cerebrospinal fluid of normal and Mpdz-linked hydrocephalus-harboring mice

ABSTRACT: Though congenital hydrocephalus is heritable, it has been linked only to eight genes, one of which is MPDZ. Humans and mice that carry a truncated version of MPDZ incur severe hydrocephalus resulting in acute morbidity and lethality. We show by magnetic resonance imaging that contrast-medium penetrates into the brain ventricles of mice carrying a Mpdz loss-of-function mutation, whereas none is detected in the ventricles of normal mice, implying that the permeability of the choroid plexus epithelial cell monolayer is abnormally high. Comparative proteomic analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid of normal and hydrocephalic mice revealed up to a 53-fold increase in protein concentration, suggesting that transcytosis through the choroid plexus epithelial cells of Mpdz KO mice is substantially higher than in normal mice. These conclusions are supported by ultrastructural evidence, and by immunohistochemistry and cytology data. Our results provide a straightforward and concise explanation for the pathophysiology of Mpdz-linked hydrocephalus.

Choroid Plexus Expression Data from Add1 Null Mice on the C57BL/6J Background Strain

Project description:Add1 Null mice on the C57BL/6J background develop hydrocephalus that may be due to gene expression changes in the choroid plexus. We used microarrays to detail choroid plexi gene expression prior to the manifestation of hydrocephalus. Choroid plexi from the four ventricle were dissected out, for RNA extraction and hybridization to Affymetrix microarrays, from male Add1 wildtype, heterozygous and null mice at three weeks of age. Five mice were selected for each genotype to assess gene expression prior to the development of hydrocephalus.

The evolutionarily conserved zebrafish choroid plexus maintains the size of brain ventricles

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.

Brain heterotopia formation by ciliopathic breakdown of neuroepithelial and blood-cerebrospinal fluid barriers

Project description:In this study, we found that ablation of genes encoding ciliary transport proteins such as intraflagellar transport homolog 88 (Ift88) and kinesin family member 3a (Kif3a) in cortical radial progenitors led to periventricular heterotopia during late mouse embryogenesis. Conditional mutation of primary cilia unexpectedly caused breakdown of both the neuroepithelial lining and the blood-choroid plexus barrier. Choroidal leakage was partially caused by enlargement of the choroid plexus in the cilia mutants. We found that the choroid plexus expressed platelet-derived growth factor A (Pdgf-A) and that Pdgf-A expression was ectopically increased in cilia-mutant embryos. Cortices obtained from embryos in utero electroporated with Pdgfa mimicked periventricular heterotopic nodules of the cilia mutant.

Spatially heterogeneous choroid plexus transcriptomes encode positional identity and contribute to regional cerebrospinal fluid production

Project description:A sheet of choroid plexus epithelial cells extends into each cerebral ventricle and secretes signaling factors into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). To evaluate whether differences in the CSF proteome across ventricles arise, in part, from regional differences in choroid plexus gene expression, we defined the transcriptome of lateral ventricle (telencephalic) vs. fourth ventricle (hindbrain) choroid plexus. We find that positional identities of mouse, macaque, and human choroid plexi derive from gene expression domains that parallel their axial tissues of origin. We then show that molecular heterogeneity between telencephalic and hindbrain choroid plexi contributes to region-specific, age-dependent protein secretion in vitro. Transcriptome analysis of FACS-purified choroid plexus epithelial cells also predicts their cell type-specific secretome. Spatial domains with distinct protein expression profiles were observed within each choroid plexus. We propose that regional differences between choroid plexi contribute to dynamic signaling gradients across the mammalian cerebroventricular system.

Choroid plexus mast cells drive tumor-associated hydrocephalus

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.
