AbstractDuring central nervous system (CNS) development, spatiotemporal gene expression programs mediate specific lineage decisions to generate neuronal and glial cell types from neural stem cells (NSCs). However, little is known about the epigenetic landscape underlying these highly complex developmental events. Here, we perform ChIP-seq on distinct subtypes of Drosophila FACS-purified neural stem cells (NSCs) and their differentiated progeny to dissect the epigenetic changes accompanying the major lineage decisions in vivo. By analyzing active and repressive histone modifications, we show that stem cell identity genes are silenced during differentiation by loss of their activating marks and not via repressive histone modifications. Our analysis also uncovers a new set of genes specifically required for altering lineage patterns in type II neuroblasts, one of the two main Drosophila NSC identities. Finally, we demonstrate that this subtype specification in NBs, unlike NSC differentiation, requires Polycomb-group (PcG)-mediated repression.Summary statementDynamic epigenetic landscape of Drosophila neural stem cell lineages.

In the adult mouse brain, neural stem cells (NSCs) in the ventricular-subventricular zone (V-SVZ) generate neurons and glia throughout life. microRNAs are important regulators of cell states, frequently acting in a stage- or context-dependent manner. Here, miRNA profiling of FACS-purified populations identified miR-17~92 as highly upregulated in activated NSCs and transit amplifying cells (TACs) in comparison to quiescent NSCs. Conditional deletion of miR-17~92 in NSCs reduced stem cell proliferation both in vitro and in vivo. In contrast, in TACs, miR-17~92 deletion caused a selective shift from neurogenic DLX2+ TACs towards oligodendrogenic OLIG2+ TACs, resulting in increased oligodendrogenesis to the corpus callosum. miR-17~92 deletion also decreased proliferation and maturation of intraventricular oligodendrocyte progenitor cells. Together, these findings reveal stage- and cell-type- specific functions of the miR-17~92 cluster within adult V-SVZ neural stem cell lineages.
