AbstractInactivation of the minor spliceosome has been linked to microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type 1 (MOPD1). To interrogate how minor intron splicing regulates cortical development, we employed Emx1-Cre to ablate Rnu11, which encodes the minor spliceosome-specific U11 small nuclear RNA (snRNA), in the developing cortex (pallium). Rnu11 cKO mice were born with microcephaly, caused by death of self-amplifying radial glial cells (RGCs). However, both intermediate progenitor cells (IPCs) and neurons were produced in the U11-null pallium. RNAseq of the pallium revealed elevated minor intron retention in the mutant, particularly in genes regulating cell cycle. Moreover, the only downregulated minor intron-containing gene (MIG) was Spc24, which regulates kinetochore assembly. These findings were consistent with the observation of fewer RGCs entering cytokinesis prior to RGC loss, underscoring the requirement of minor splicing for cell cycle progression in RGCs. Overall, we provide a potential explanation of how disruption of minor splicing might cause microcephaly in MOPD1.Summary StatementHere we report the first mammalian model to investigate the role of the minor spliceosome in cortical development and microcephaly.List of abbreviations usedMOPD1=microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type 1; snRNA=small nuclear RNA; cKO=conditional knockout; NPC=neural progenitor cell; RGC=radial glial cell; IPC=intermediate progenitor cell; MIG=minor intron-containing gene

Brain regeneration requires a precise coordination of complex responses in a time- and region-specific manner. Identifying key cell types and molecules that direct brain regeneration would provide potential targets for the advance of regenerative medicine. However, progress in the field has been hampered largely due to very limited regeneration capacity of the mammalian brain and understanding of the regeneration process at both cellular and molecular level. Here, using axolotl brain with astonishing regeneration ability upon injury, and the Stereo-seq (SpaTial Enhanced REsolution Omics-sequencing), we reconstruct the first architecture of axolotl telencephalon with gene expression profiling at single-cell resolution, and fine cell dynamics maps throughout development and regeneration. Intriguingly, we discover a marked heterogeneity of radial glial cell (RGC) types with distinct behaviors. Of note, one subtype of RGCs is activated since early regeneration stages and proliferates while other RGCs remain dormant. Such RGC subtype appears to be the major cell population involved in early wound healing response and gradually covers the injured area before presumably transformed into the lost neurons. Altogether, our work systematically decodes the complex cellular and molecular dynamics of axolotl telencephalon in development and regeneration, laying the foundation for studying the regulatory mechanism of brain regeneration in future.
