Project description:The evolution of nervous systems hinges on cell type diversification and specialization. Neural glia, also called macroglia, make up a large percentage of the total cell numbers in the brain of several species including humans and perform critical functions related to producing, maintaining and assiting neurons. Despite their importance, glial cells have been much less studied than neurons. Here, in order to investigate the heterogeneity of adult radial glial cells in zebrafish and to study the evolution of macroglia and the adult neurogenesis process they support, we generated a single cell RNAseq dataset of the adult zebrafish telencephalon enriched for radial glial cells using a sox2:gfp transgenic line.

Project description:Neurogenesis in the adult hippocampus contributes to information processing critical for cognition, adaptation, learning and memory, and is implicated in numerous neurological disorders. New neurons are continuously produced from neural stem cells via a well-controlled developmental process. The immature neuron stage defined by doublecortin (DCX) expression is the most sensitive to regulation by extrinsic factors. However, little is known about the dynamic biology within this critical interval that drives maturation and confers susceptibility to regulating signals. This study aims to test the hypothesis that DCX-expressing immature neurons in adult mouse hippocampus progress through developmental stages via activity of specific transcriptional networks. Using single-cell RNA-seq combined with a novel integrative bioinformatics approach, we discovered that individual immature neuron can be classified into distinct developmental subgroups based on characteristic gene expression profiles and subgroup-specific markers. Comparisons between immature and more mature subgroups revealed novel pathways involved in neuronal maturation. Genes enriched in more immature cells shared significant overlap with genes implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, while genes positively associated with neuronal maturation were enriched for autism-related gene sets. Our study thus discovers molecular signatures of individual adult-born immature neurons and unveils potential novel targets for therapeutic approaches to treat neurodevelopmental and neurological diseases. mRNA sequencing and expression estimation in 64 individual DCX-dsRed+ cells isolated from transgenic DCX-dsRed mice by FACS sorting

Project description:Physical exercise stimulates adult hippocampal neurogenesis in mammals, and is considered a relevant strategy for preventing age-related cognitive decline in aging humans. However, its mechanism is controversial. Here, by investigating microRNAs (miRNAs) and their downstream pathways, we uncover that downregulation of miR-135a-5p mediates exercise-induced proliferation of adult NPCs in adult neurogenesis in the mouse hippocampus, likely by activation of phosphatidylinositol (IP3) signaling. Specifically, while overexpression of miR-135 prevents exercise-induced proliferation in the adult mouse hippocampus in vivo and in NPCs in vitro, its inhibition activates NPCs proliferation in resting and aged mice. Label free proteomics and bioinformatics analysis identifies 11 potential targets of miR-135 in NPCs, several of them involved in phosphatidylinositol signaling. Thus, miR-135a is key in mediating exercise-induced adult neurogenesis and opens intriguing perspectives toward the therapeutic exploitation of miR-135 to delay or prevent pathological brain ageing.Physical exercise stimulates adult hippocampal neurogenesis in mammals, and is considered a relevant strategy for preventing age-related cognitive decline in aging humans.

Project description:Adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) has been extensively characterized in rodent models, but its existence in humans remains controversial. We sought to assess the phenomenon in post-mortem human hippocampal samples by combining spatial transcriptomics and fluorescent in situ hybridization. We detected very few cells expressing neural stem cell- and proliferation-specific genes in the human dentate gyrus (DG) from childhood to middle age, suggesting very low levels of hippocampal neurogenesis throughout life. However, we observed at all ages a significant number of DG cells expressing the immature neuronal marker DCX. The majority of DCX+ cells displayed an inhibitory phenotype, while the remainder were non-committed or excitatory in nature. Overall, our study investigates for the first time the extent of AHN in the human brain with spatial transcriptomic tools and reveals important insight into the distribution and phenotype of cells expressing neurogenesis markers in the adult human hippocampus.

Project description:Neural stem cells (NSCs) generating new neurons are restricted to few niches in the adult mammalian brain, while the remainder rather promotes gliogenesis. Here we take advantage of the spatial separation of an NSC niche (the subependymal zone) and the region to where the newly generated neurons migrate and integrate (the olfactory bulb). Using state-of-the-art mass spectrometry we present a comprehensive proteomic characterization of these niches compared to a region of the normal brain parenchyma (cerebral cortex) that is not contusive to neurogenesis and new neuron integration. We find unique compositions of regulatory ECM components in the neurogenic niche, with quiescent NSCs as a main source of their local ECM, including the multi-functional enzyme transglutaminase 2 that we identify as crucial for neurogenesis. Atomic force microscopy further corroborates indications from the proteome that neurogenic niches are significantly stiffer than the non-neurogenic parenchyma, highlighting the unique properties of these special niches.
