Project description:In this study, we identified active enhancers in the mouse cerebellum at embryonic and postnatal stages establishing the first catalog of enhancers active during embryonic cerebellum development. The majority of cerebellar enhancers have dynamic activity between embryonic and postnatal development. Cerebellar enhancers were enriched for neural transcription factor binding sites with temporally specific expression. Putative gene targets displayed spatially restricted expression patterns, indicating cell-type specific expression regulation. Functional analysis of target genes indicated that enhancers regulate processes spanning several developmental epochs such as specification, differentiation and maturation. We use these analyses to discover one novel regulator and one novel marker of cerebellar development: Bhlhe22 and Pax3, respectively. We identified an enrichment of de novo mutations and variants associated with autism spectrum disorder in cerebellar enhancers. Our study provides insight into the dynamics of gene expression regulation by enhancers in the developing brain and delivers a rich resource of novel gene-enhancer associations providing a basis for future in-depth studies in the cerebellum.

Furthermore, by comparing our data with relevant brain development ENCODE histone profiles and cerebellar single-cell datasets we have been able to generalize and expand on the presented analyses, respectively. We have made the results of our analyses available online in the Developing Mouse Cerebellum Enhancer Atlas, where our dataset can be efficiently queried, curated and exported by the scientific community to facilitate future research efforts. Our study provides a valuable resource for studying the dynamics of gene expression regulation by enhancers in the developing cerebellum and delivers a rich dataset of novel gene-enhancer associations providing a basis for future in-depth studies in the cerebellum.

Project description:Cerebellar organoids differentiated from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) contain key cerebellar cell types and are increasingly used to study cerebellar diseases. In this study, we demonstrate the potential of cerebellar organoids for studying features of early human cerebellar development. Forkhead box protein P2 (FOXP2) is a transcription factor associated with speech and language development that is highly expressed in the developing brain. However, little attention has been directed to the study of FOXP2 in the early developing cerebellum. Here we used CRISPR gene editing in human iPSCs to generate a fluorescent FOXP2-reporter line. By combining transcriptomic analysis of iPSC-derived cerebellar organoids with published cerebellar datasets, we describe the expression and identify potential downstream targets of FOXP2 in the early developing human cerebellum. Our results highlight expression of FOXP2 in early human Purkinje cells and cerebellar nuclei neurons, and the vulnerability of these cell populations to neurodevelopmental disorders. Our study demonstrates the power of cerebellar organoids to model early human developmental processes and disorders.

Project description:The Affymetrix GeneChip Mu11K was used to analyze the gene expression profile in developing mouse cerebellum (two GeneChips per E18, P7, P14, P21, and P56) to assist in the understanding of the genetic basis of cerebellar development in mice. The analysis showed 81.6% (10,321/12,654) of the genes represented on the GeneChip were expressed in the postnatal cerebellum, and among those, 8.7% (897/10,321) were differentially expressed with more than a two-fold change in their maximum and minimum expression levels during the developmental time course. The expression data (mean signal in relative unit) of all of these 897 differentially expressed genes were listed in GSM50(for E18), GSM51(for P7), GSM52(for P14), GSM53(for P21), and GSM54(for P56) as well as our homepage at http://www.brain.riken.go.jp/labs/lm Keywords = mouse cerebellum development

Project description:Mutation of the gene encoding the ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler CHD7 causes CHARGE syndrome. The mechanisms underlying the neurodevelopmental deficits associated with the syndrome, which include cerebellar hypoplasia, developmental delay, coordination problems and autistic features, are not known. CHD7 is expressed in neural stem and progenitor cells, but its role in neurogenesis during brain development remains unknown. Here we show that deletion of Chd7 from cerebellar granule cell precursors (GCps) in the mouse results in reduced GCp proliferation, cerebellar hypoplasia, developmental delay and motor deficits. Genome-wide expression profiling revealed downregulated Reln gene expression in Chd7-deficient GCps. Recessive RELN mutations is associated with severe cerebellar hypoplasia in humans. We provide molecular and genetic evidence that reduced Reln expression contributes substantially to the GCp proliferative defect and cerebellar hypoplasia in GCp-specific Chd7 mouse mutants. Finally, we show that CHD7 is necessary for the maintenance of an open, accessible chromatin state at the Reln locus. Taken together, this study shows that Reln gene expression is regulated by chromatin remodeling, identifies CHD7 as a previously unrecognized upstream regulator of Reln and provides the first evidence that a mammalian CHD protein controls brain development by modulating chromatin accessibility in neuronal progenitors in vivo.

Project description:Human cerebellar development is precisely orchestrated by molecular regulatory networks. Here, we combined single-cell transcriptomics, spatial transcriptomics and chromatin accessibility states to systematically depict an integrative temporal-spatial landscape of human fetal cerebellar development. The multiomic data reveal molecular networks, providing an informative regulatory map to show how and when cell fates are determined. Spatial transcriptomics illustrated the distinct molecular signatures of the progenitors, Purkinje cells and granule cells located in different regions of the developing cerebellar cortex. We identified RORB as a new marker of developing human Purkinje cells, which was not expressed in mice. In addition, the RL progenitors highly expressed the human-specific gene ARHGAP11B , and ARHGAP11B expression led to cerebellar cortex expansion and folding in mice. We finally mapped the genes and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of diseases related to cerebellar dysfunction onto cell types, indicating the cellular basis and possible pathogenesis mechanisms of neuropsychiatric disorders.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation is the most abundant modification on mRNAs and plays important roles in various biological processes. The formation of m6A is catalyzed by a methyltransferase complex including methyltransferase like 3 (METTL3) as a key factor. However, the in vivo functions of METTL3 and m6A modification in mammalian development remain unclear. Here we show that specific inactivation of Mettl3 in mouse nervous system causes severe developmental defects in the brain. Mettl3 conditional knockout mice manifest cerebellar hypoplasia caused by drastically enhanced apoptosis of new born cerebellar granule cells (CGCs) in the external granular layer (EGL). METTL3 depletion induced loss of m6A modification causes extended RNA half-lives and aberrant splicing events, consequently leading to dysregulation of transcriptome-wide gene expression and premature CGC death. Our findings reveal a critical role of METTL3-mediated m6A in regulating the development of mammalian cerebellum.
