Project description:The evolution of the human cerebral cortex involved modifications in the composition and proliferative potential of the neural stem cell (NSC) niche during brain development. Genetic changes that altered the activity of transcriptional enhancers have been linked to phenotypic differences between humans and other primates. Human Accelerated Regions (HARs) consist of >1600 highly constrained noncoding regions of the genome that show significant evolutionary acceleration on the human lineage, suggesting they encode human-specific functions. Multiple studies support that HARs include neurodevelopmental enhancers with novel activities in humans, but the regulatory roles of HARs in NSC biology has not been empirically assessed at scale. Here we conducted a direct-capture Perturb-seq screen repressing 180 neurodevelopmentally active HARs in human iPSC-derived NSCs with single-cell transcriptional readout. After profiling over 188,000 NSCs, we identified a set of HAR perturbations with convergent transcriptional effects on gene networks related to the specification of basal radial glia (bRG), a progenitor population that is expanded in humans. Processes associated with these networks included the regulation of apicobasal polarity and migration. We found convergent dysregulation of specific apicobasal polarity and adherens junction regulators, including PARD3, ABI2, SETD2, and PCM1, which are critical to apical-basal RG fate decisions. Autism- and intellectual-disability-associated genes were also enriched among genes showing changes in expression due to HAR perturbations. Our findings reveal interconnected roles for HARs in NSC biology and cortical development and link specific HARs to processes implicated in human cortical expansion.

Project description:The epiblast is the first cell type that forms apical-basal polarity de novo as the mouse embryo implants into the maternal uterus, while the extraembryonic neighbours of the epiblast - trophectoderm and primitive endoderm - retain their pre-established polarity beyond implantation [1]; however, it is still unclear how the epiblast establishes apical-basal polarity de novo. Here, we focused on Rap1 signaling pathway, which is activated during the transition of the epiblast from the naïve to primed state of pluripotency during implantation [2]. Through the preestablished in vitro three-dimensional culture system [3], genetic knockouts and proximity-biotinylation analyses, we found that Rap1 integrates multiple signals that contribute to de novo formation of apical-basal polarity. Importantly, formation of apical-basal polarity in the epiblast is essential for its correct patterning and proper communication with the extraembryonic lineages. Altogether, these results not only dissect molecular details of de novo apical-basal polarity formation, but also have broader implications for epithelial polarity and development.

Project description:After section, Hydra regenerate each missing part within 2 to 3 days. This study was designed to allow tracking of gene expression levels during apical and basal regeneration and to compare these different regenerative contexts systematically. We determine that transient early genetic events are generic, i.e. that modulations in gene expression have analogous directions, magnitudes and durations whatever the level along the central body column and orientation of the amputation plane. In turn, early modulated transcripts with sustained expression patterns during regeneration are generally distinct during apical and basal regeneration. Genes that were previously shown to be instrumental in defining the apical organizer (Wnt signalling pathway) are among the first genes to be expressed in the condition where Hydra regenerates its apical part, Wnt3 is actually the only detected transcript encoding a signalling protein already upregulated by 2h. Regarding basal regeneration, we identify a number of transcripts with sustained expression patterns already established by 4h, some of them encoding evolutionary conserved signalling proteins, which are almost exclusively consisting of agonists and antagonists of the BMP signalling pathway.

Project description:Cre recombinase-mediated conditional knockout of floxed Dicer1 alleles causes depletion of small RNAs including microRNAs, which function to repress target mRNA expression by inhibiting translation and/or stimulating mRNA degradation. We used microarrays to examine gene expression in apical versus basal organ of Corti from the cochleae of control and mutant mice in which Dicer1 was deleted and microRNAs were depleted specifically in sensory hair cells by Atoh1 promoter-driven Cre recombinase expression. Each biological replicate represents the combined apical or combined basal segments of organ of Corti from both cochleae of a single mouse. Two biological replicates for apical and basal organ of Corti from Dicer1 conditonal knockout and littermate controls were collected for RNA extraction and microarray analysis.

Project description:Apical-basal polarity drives pancreatic alpha/beta cell fate allocation

Project description:Fate commitment is a sum of unique intrinsic properties and extrinsic cues received by a progenitor/stem cell. The knowledge of intrinsic properties, such as transcription, is extensive, whereas much less is known about how they are regulated by extrinsic cues, such as cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions. We demonstrated that differential cell-cell adhesion controls the fate of multipotent pancreatic progenitors by dictating their migration to the tip and trunk niches where they are exposed to specific fate-inducing cues. Within the trunk each Neurogenin 3+ (Neurog3+) endocrine progenitor can give rise to all five pancreatic islet hormone-producing endocrine cells. Forced exiting of Neurog3+ from the polarize luminal epithelium through conditional ablation of p120ctn or Ecad in Neurog3+ cells shift their differentiation towards alpha cells at the expense of beta cells. Based on these findings we hypothesized that cell adhesion and cell polarity might be linked to the fate decision of Neurog3+ cells into the alpha and beta cell lineages. Here, we show pancreatic endocrine progenitor cell-cell adhesion is linked to apical-basal polarity and cell fate, and disruption of apical-basal polarity in the developing mouse pancreas alters endocrine cell specification. Futhermore, apical-basally polarized human endocrine progenitors are primed to become beta cells. Finally, single-cell RNA sequencing reveals beta-like transcriptional signatures and differentiation propensities in polarized endocrine progenitors.

Project description:Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) toxins A (TcdA) and B (TcdB) cause antibiotic-associated colitis, increasing morbidity and mortality. Accurate in vitro models are necessary to detect early toxicity kinetics, investigate disease etiology, and develop preclinical models for new therapies. Properties of cancer cell lines and organoids inherently limit these efforts. We developed adult stem cell-derived monolayers of differentiated human colonic epithelium (hCE) with barrier function, investigated the impact of toxin application to apical/basal aspects of monolayers, and evaluated whether a leaky epithelial barrier enhances toxicity. Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNAseq) mapped C. difficile-relevant genes to human gut epithelial lineages. Transcriptomics informed timing of stem cell differentiation to achieve in vitro colonocyte maturation like that observed in vivo. Transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) and fluorescent dextran permeability assays measured cytotoxicity as barrier loss post-toxin exposure. Leaky epithelial barriers were induced with diclofenac. scRNAseq demonstrated broad and variable toxin receptor expression across human gut lineages. Absorptive colonocytes displayed generally enhanced toxin receptor, Rho GTPase, and cell junction expression. 22-day differentiated Caco-2 cells remained immature whereas hCE monolayers were similar to mature colonocytes. hCE monolayers exhibited high barrier function after 1-day differentiation. Basal TcdA/B application to monolayers caused greater toxicity and apoptosis. Diclofenac induced leaky hCE monolayers and enhanced toxicity of apical TcdB exposure. Apical/basal toxicities are uncoupled with more rapid onset and increased magnitude of basal toxicity. Leaky paracellular junctions enhance toxicity of apical TcdB exposure. hCE monolayers represent a physiologically relevant and sensitive culture system to evaluate the impact of microbial toxins on gut epithelium.
