The Expression of Key Guidance Genes at a Forebrain Axon Turning Point Is Maintained by Distinct Fgfr Isoforms but a Common Downstream Signal Transduction Mechanism
New Research Development The Expression of Key Guidance Genes at a Forebrain Axon Turning Point Is Maintained by Distinct Fgfr Isoforms but a Common Downstream Signal Transduction Mechanism Jung-Lynn Jonathan Yang, Gabriel E. Bertolesi, Stephanie Dueck, Carrie L. Hehr, and Sarah McFarlane https://doi.org/10.1523/ENEURO.0086-19.2019 Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy, Hotchkiss Brain Institute, Alberta Children’s Hospital Research Institute, Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta T2N 4N1, Canada Abstract During development the axons of neurons grow toward and locate their synaptic partners to form functional neural circuits. Axons do so by reading a map of guidance cues expressed by surrounding tissues. Guidance cues are expressed at a precise space and time, but how guidance cue expression is regulated, and in a coordinated manner, is poorly understood. Semaphorins (Semas) and Slits are families of molecular ligands that guide axons. We showed previously that fibroblast growth factor (Fgf) signaling maintains sema3a and slit1 forebrain expres- sion in Xenopus laevis, and these two repellents cooperate to guide retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons away from the mid-diencephalon and on towards the optic tectum. Here, we investigate whether there are common features of the regulatory pathways that control the expression of these two guidance cues at this single axon guidance decision point. We isolated the sema3a proximal promoter and confirmed its responsiveness to Fgf signaling. Through misexpression of truncated Fgf receptors (Fgfrs), we found that sema3a forebrain expression is dependent on Fgfr2-4 but not Fgfr1. This is in contrast to slit1, whose expression we showed previously depends on Fgfr1 but not Fgfr2-4.

Engel, PhD,4 Fred H. Gage, PhD,7 Jurgen€ Winkler, MD,2 and Beate Winner, MD1 Objective: Mutations in the spastic paraplegia gene 11 (SPG11), encoding spatacsin, cause the most frequent form of autosomal-recessive complex hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) and juvenile-onset amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS5). When SPG11 is mutated, patients frequently present with spastic paraparesis, a thin corpus callosum, and cognitive impairment. We previously delineated a neurodegenerative phenotype in neurons of these patients. In the current study, we recapitulated early developmental phenotypes of SPG11 and outlined their cellular and molecular mechanisms in patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cortical neural progenitor cells (NPCs). Methods: We generated and characterized iPSC-derived NPCs and neurons from 3 SPG11 patients and 2 age- matched controls. Results: Gene expression profiling of SPG11-NPCs revealed widespread transcriptional alterations in neurodevelop- mental pathways. These include changes in cell-cycle, neurogenesis, cortical development pathways, in addition to autophagic deficits. More important, the GSK3ß-signaling pathway was found to be dysregulated in SPG11-NPCs.

We investigated the role of Gpr97, a newly identified member of the adhesion GPCR family, in AKI. Methods AKI was induced by ischemia–reperfusion or cisplatin treatment in Gpr97-deficient mice. We assessed renal injury in these models and in patients with acute tubular necrosis by histologic examination, and we conducted microarray analysis and in vitro assays to determine the molecular mechanisms of Gpr97 function. Results Gpr97 was upregulated in the kidneys from mice with AKI and patients with biopsy-proven acute tubular necrosis compared with healthy controls. In AKI models, Gpr97-deficient mice had significantly less renal injury and inflammation than wild-type mice. Gpr97 deficiency also attenuated the AKI-induced expression of semaphorin 3A (Sema3A), a potential early diagnostic biomarker of renal injury. In NRK- 52E cells subjected to oxygen–glucose deprivation, siRNA-mediated knockdown of Gpr97 further in- creased the expression of survivin and phosphorylated STAT3 and reduced toll-like receptor 4 expression.
