Astrocyte allocation during brain development is controlled by Tcf4-mediated fate restrictionThe EMBO journal · 2024
Summary (written by the submitters)
Astrocytes within specific brain regions contribute uniquely to regional circuits for higher-order brain function through interactions with local neurons. The regional diversification of astrocytes is dictated by their embryonic origin, yet the mechanisms governing their regional allocation remain unknown. Here we show that allocation of astrocytes to specific brain regions requires the transcription factor 4 (Tcf4) mediated fate restriction during brain development.

Loss of Tcf4 in ventral telencephalic neural progenitors alters the fate of oligodendrocyte precursors to transient intermediate astrocyte precursor cells, resulting in mislocated astrocytes in the dorsal neocortex. These ectopic astrocytes originated from the ventral telencephalon engage with neurons and acquire features reminiscent of local neocortical astrocytes. Furthermore, Tcf4 functions as a suppressor of astrocyte fate during differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursors, thereby restricting the fate to oligodendrocyte lineage. Our study reveals that fate restriction governs regional astrocyte allocation, contributing to astrocyte diversification across brain regions.

This dataset
Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE244709_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: Look for peak files (.bed, .narrowPeak) and signal tracks (.bigWig) among the supplementary files; the raw reads are on ENA.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1024426 and SRA study SRP464828. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Supports a case/control comparison: 9 samples read as cases, 11 as controls.

How we read this: 9 replicated groups read from 20 sample titles; they account for 18 of them. These groups are guessed from the sample names, not taken from the paper, so check them against the sample list below before relying on them.
