Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE27245: Expression data from Top2β KO cells as well ICRF-193 treatment of in vitro derived neurons and cortical glutamatergic neurons GSE27246: Top2β ChIP-chip Refer to individual Series
Project description:Expression profiling of from Top2β knokout and ICRF-193 treated neurons reveals a significant number of genes that are transcriptionally deregulated Gene expression in the Top2β knocnout ES, NP and TN stages of stem cell differention to the corresponidng wild type cells. In vitro derived neurons and cortical glutamatergic neurons were either treated with DMSO or ICRF-193 and were compared to reveal differentially expressed genes.
Project description:ASoC variants are prevalent and cell type-specific ASoC variants were over-represented in intergenic regions and active enhancers. The collection includes ATAC-Seq and RNA-Seq data that were taken from human iPS cells and their derived neuronal cells (neural progenitor cells, cortical glutamatergic neurons, GABAergic neurons, and dopaminergic neurons).
Project description:Genome binding/occupancy profiling was carried out by high throughput sequencing in human developmental cortical interneurons and developmental glutamatergic neurons derived from healthy control vs schizophrenia iPSCs
Project description:Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) due to MAPT mutation causes pathological accumulation of tau and glutamatergic cortical neuronal death by unknown mechanisms. We used human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cerebral organoids expressing tau-V337M and isogenic corrected controls to discover early alterations due to the mutation that precede neurodegeneration. Mutant organoids show early upregulation of MAPT expresssion and glutamatergic signaling pathways, as well as regulators including the RNA-binding protein ELAVL4. By 6 months, tau-V337M organoids show specific loss of glutamatergic neuronsof layers affected in patients. Mutant neurons are susceptible to glutamate toxicity, which was rescued pharmacologically by treatment with the PIKFYVE kinase inhibitor apilimod. Our results demonstrate a sequence of events that precede cell death, revealing molecular pathways associated with glutamate signaling as potential targets for therapeutic intervention in FTD.

Project description:Proteostasis involves a dynamic network of biological pathways that regulate protein synthesis, maintenance, and degradation. As postmitotic cells, neurons are particularly sensitive to environmental changes, and dysfunction in cellular proteostasis can lead to an accumulation of aggregated and misfolded proteins. However, how proteins turnover on a global scale in human neurons is not well understood. In this study, we systematically improved a dynamic SILAC proteomic approach to enable a deep and accurate measurement of protein turnover in human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cholinergic spinal motor and glutamatergic cortical neurons. Furthermore, we applied this deep proteome turnover method to evaluate how inhibiting the ubiquitin-proteasome and lysosome-autophagy pathway impacts proteostasis in iPSC-derived neurons. Using these datasets, we developed a freely available resource called Neuron Profile, an interactive website for visualizing and querying protein turnover in subcellular locations in human neurons.
Project description:In this study, we sought to identify the mRNAs associated to FMRP protein in mouse cortical neuron using a cross linking immunoprecipitation and microarray (CLIP-microarray). The mRNAs crosslinked at 254 nm to FMRP in mouse cortical neurons cultured 8 days in vitro (8 DIV) were immunoprecipitated with H120 anti-FMRP (Santa Cruz) and reverse transcribed to labeled cDNAs with Ovation Pico WTA system V2 (Nugen) and hybridized on Mouse Gene 1.0ST (Affymetrix) We analyzed total RNA (Input) and FMRP-CLIPed RNA (Clip) from 10 primary cortical neuron mouse cultures (5 Wt Input, 5 FMR1-KO Input, 5 Wt Clip, 5 FMR1-KO Clip). Array data was processed by Affymetrix Exon Array Computational Tool. No technical replicates were performed.
Project description:Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cortical neurons present a powerful new model of neurological disease. Previous work has established that differentiation protocols produce cortical neurons but little has been done to characterise these at cellular resolution. In particular, it is unclear to what extent in vitro two-dimensional, relatively disordered culture conditions recapitulate the development of in vivo cortical layer identity. Single cell multiplex RT-qPCR was used to interrogate the expression of genes previously implicated in cortical layer or phenotypic identity in individual cells. Unexpectedly, 22.7% of neurons analysed frequently co-expressed canonical fetal deep and upper cortical layer markers, and this co-expression was also present at the level of translated protein. By comparing our results to available single cell RNA-seq data from human fetal and adult brain, we observed that this co-expression of layer markers was also seen in primary tissue. These results suggest that establishing neuronal layer identity in iPSC-derived or primary cortical neurons using canonical marker genes transcripts is unlikely to be informative. Single cell RNA-seq of 16 iPSC-derived cortical neurons. This dataset was used for normalization purposes for GSE67835.
