Project description:Adult Neural Stem Cells (aNSCs) in the ventricular-subventricular zone (V-SVZ) are largely quiescent. Here, we characterize the mechanism underlying the functional role of a cell-signalling inhibitory protein, LRIG1, in the control of aNSCs proliferation. Using constitutive Lrig1 knockout models, we show that Lrig1 ablation results in increased aNSCs proliferation with no change in neuronal progeny and that this hyperproliferation likely does not result from activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Loss of LRIG1, however, does lead to impaired activation of canonical transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) and bone morphogenic protein (BMP) signalling pathways. Biochemically, we show in vitro that LRIG1 is able to bind TGFβ/BMP receptors and the TGFβ1 ligand. Finally, we show that the consequences of these interactions are to facilitate SMAD phosphorylation and pathway activation. Collectively, these data suggest that, unlike in embryonic neural stem cells where EGFR is the primary mechanism of action, LRIG1 and TGFβ pathways positively work together to fulfill their inhibitory roles in aNSCs.

Project description:Adult neural stem cells (NSCs) must tightly regulate quiescence and proliferation. Single cell analysis has suggested a continuum of cell states as NSCs exit quiescence. Here we capture and characterize in vitro primed quiescent NSCs and identify LRIG1 as an important regulator. We show that BMP-4 signaling induces a dormant non-cycling quiescent state (d-qNSCs), whereas combined BMP-4/FGF-2 signalling induces a distinct primed quiescent state poised for cell cycle re-entry. Primed quiescent NSCs (p-qNSCs) are defined by high levels of LRIG1 and CD9, as well as an interferon response signature, and can efficiently engraft into the adult subventricular zone (SVZ) niche. Genetic disruption of Lrig1 in vivo within the SVZ NSCs leads an enhanced proliferation. Mechanistically, LRIG1 primes quiescent NSCs for cell cycle re-entry and EGFR responsiveness by enabling EGFR protein levels to increase but limiting signaling activation. LRIG1 is therefore an important functional regulator of NSC exit from quiescence.

Project description:Optogenetics is a rapidly advancing technology that combines photochemical, optical and synthetic biology techniques to control cellular behaviour and physiology. Combining sensitive light responsive optogenetic intervention tools with human pluripotent stem cell differentiation models has the potential to refine differentiation and unpick the processes by which morphogenetic signals direct tissue patterning, organisation and cell specification. Here, we utilised an optogenetic bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signalling system (optoBMP) to drive chondrogenic differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). We initially engineered light-sensitive hESCs through CRISPR/Cas9-mediated integration of the optoBMP system into the AAVS1 locus. Activation of optoBMP with blue light in lieu of BMP family growth factors during differentiation resulted in activation of BMP signalling pathway mechanisms and upregulation of a chondrogenic phenotype, with significant transcriptional differences compared to cells left in the dark. Furthermore, cells differentiated with light were capable of forming chondrogenic pellets consisting of a hyaline-like cartilaginous matrix.

Project description:Regulatory T cell (Treg) is the immune-suppressive T cell subset and the crucial component for preventing autoimmunity. The molecules defining the suppressive population of T cells phenotypically and functionally remain to be discovered. In this study, we report that Lrig1 is highly expressed in suppressive CD4+ T cell populations. We performed RNA-seq analysis of CD4+Lrig1+ and CD4+Lrig1- T cells from mouse splenocytes to analyze the genes involeved in the suppressive function of T cells.

Project description:The endocardium plays important roles in the development and function of the vertebrate heart; however, few molecular markers of this tissue have been identified and little is known about what regulates its differentiation. Here, we describe the Gt(SAGFF27C); Tg(4xUAS:egfp) line as a marker of endocardial development in zebrafish. Transcriptomic comparison between endocardium and pan-endothelium confirms molecular distinction between these populations and time-course analysis suggests differentiation as early as eight somites. To investigate what regulates endocardial identity, we employed npas4l, etv2 and scl loss-of-function models. Endocardial expression is lost in npas4l mutants, significantly reduced in etv2 mutants and only modestly affected upon scl loss-of-function. Bmp signalling was also examined: overactivation of Bmp signalling increased endocardial expression, whereas Bmp inhibition decreased expression. Finally, epistasis experiments showed that overactivation of Bmp signalling was incapable of restoring endocardial expression in etv2 mutants. By contrast, overexpression of either npas4l or etv2 was sufficient to rescue endocardial expression upon Bmp inhibition. Together, these results describe the differentiation of the endocardium, distinct from vasculature, and place npas4l and etv2 downstream of Bmp signalling in regulating its differentiation.

Project description:Developing tissues interpret dynamic changes in morphogen activity to generate cell type diversity. To quantitatively study BMP signalling dynamicsin the vertebrateneural tube, we developed a new ES cell differentiation systemtailored for growing tissues. Differentiating cellsform strikingself-organised pattern of dorsal neural tube cell typesdriven by sequential phases of BMP signalling that are observed both in vitro and in vivo.Data-driven biophysical modelling showed that thesedynamics result from coupling fast negative feedbackwithslow positive regulation of signalling bythe specification of an endogenousBMP source.Thus, in contrast to relays that propagate morphogen signalling in space, we uncover a BMP signallingrelay that operates intime. This mechanism allows rapid initial concentration-sensitive response that is robustly terminated, thereby regulating balanced sequential cell type generation.Altogether, our study provides an experimental and theoretical framework to understand how signalling dynamicsis exploited indeveloping tissues.

Project description:As LRIG1 known to be a negative regulator of EGFR, we postulate that restored LRIG1 expression will change the transcription profile through the regulation of EGFR as well as its downstream signal cascades. Thus, we conducted a time-course microarray study to examine the effect of restored LRIG1 expression in NPC line, TW01-LG1/a, which the LRIG1 expression is under the control of a promoter with Doxycycline response element. We established stable transfectants of the LRIG1 gene in the TW01 cells which the expression of LRIG1 protein was barely detectable. To control the expression of LRIG1, the coding sequences were placed under the control of a promoter with doxycycline (Dox)-response element using the Tetoff system. Thus the LRIG1 expression could be turn on by removing Dox from the culture medium. Cellular total RNA were harvested along a time course of 12, 24, 36, and 48 hr following LRIG1 turn on expression, and then subjected to exon array analysis (Affymatrix Human Gene 1.0 ST), using the LRIG1 non-expressing sample (with Dox) as control for all comparison. For each time-point, a biological replicate was included.

Project description:Cancer immunotherapies boost antitumor immunity and improve the survival of cancer patients. V-domain Immunoglobulin Suppressor of T cell Activation (VISTA) is an immune 20 checkpoint target but presents elusive signaling mechanisms. We report a novel VISTA binding partner, Leucine-Rich Repeats and Immunoglobulin Like Domains 1 (LRIG1), which acts as an inhibitory receptor by engaging VISTA and suppressing T cell receptor signaling pathways. Mice with T cell-specific LRIG1 deletion developed superior antitumor T cell responses. Mechanistically, LRIG1-deficient tumor-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) exhibited longer 25 persistence due to improved expansion and survival and greater effector function. Sustained tumor control was also associated with a reduction of quiescent CTLs (TCF1+ CD62Lhi PD-1low) and a reciprocal increase in progenitor and memory-like CTLs (TCF1+ PD-1+). In human melanoma, an elevated LRIG1 expression on tumor-infiltrating CD8+ CTLs correlated with resistance to immunotherapies. Taken together, these results delineate the role of LRIG1 as an inhibitory 30 immune checkpoint receptor and propose a rationale for targeting the VISTA/LRIG1 axis for cancer immunotherapy.
