(Submitter supplied) The choroid plexuses (ChPs) are the main regulators of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) composition and thereby also control the composition of a principal source of signaling molecules that is in direct contact with neural stem cells in the developing brain. The regulators of ChP development mediating the acquisition of a fate that differs from the neighboring neuroepithelial cells are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate in mice a crucial role for the transcription factor Otx2 in the development and maintenance of ChP cells. Deletion of Otx2 by the Otx2-CreERT2 driver line at E9 resulted in a lack of all ChPs, whereas deletion by the Gdf7-Cre driver line affected predominately the hindbrain ChP, which was reduced in size, primarily owing to an increase in apoptosis upon Otx2 deletion. Strikingly, Otx2 was still required for the maintenance of hindbrain ChP cells at later stages when Otx2 deletion was induced at E15, demonstrating a central role of Otx2 in ChP development and maintenance. Moreover, the predominant defects in the hindbrain ChP mediated by Gdf7-Cre deletion of Otx2 revealed its key role in regulating early CSF composition, which was altered in protein content, including the levels of Wnt4 and the Wnt modulator Tgm2. Accordingly, proliferation and Wnt signaling levels were increased in the distant cerebral cortex, suggesting a role of the hindbrain ChP in regulating CSF composition, including key signaling molecules. Thus, Otx2 acts as a master regulator of ChP development, thereby influencing one of the principal sources of signaling in the developing brain, the CSF.

(Submitter supplied) The choroid plexus (ChP) is a secretory tissue that produces cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) secreted into the ventricular system. It is a monolayer of secretory, multiciliated epithelial cells derived from neuroepithelial progenitors and overlying a stroma of mesenchymal cells of mesodermal origin. Zfp423, encoding a Kruppel-type zinc finger transcription factor essential for cerebellar development and mutated in rare cases of cerebellar vermis hypoplasia / Joubert syndrome and other ciliopathies, is expressed in the hindbrain roof plate (RP), from which the IV ventricleChP arises, and, later, in mesenchymal cells giving rise to the stroma and leptomeninges.Zfp423mutants display a marked reduction of the hindbrain ChP (hChP), which 1) fails to express established markers of its secretory function and genes implicated in its development and maintenance (Lmx1a, Otx2); 2) shows a perturbed expression of signaling pathways previously unexplored in hChP patterning (Wnt3); 3) displays a lack of multiciliated epithelial cells and a profound dysregulation of master genes of multiciliogenesis (Gmnc). more...

(Submitter supplied) Choroid plexus secretes cerebrospinal fluid important for brain development and homeostasis. The OTX2 homeoprotein is critical for choroid plexus development and remains highly expressed in adult choroid plexus. Through RNA sequencing analyses of constitutive and conditional knockdown adult mouse models, we reveal putative roles for OTX2 in choroid plexus function, including cell signaling and adhesion, and show that it regulates the expression of factors secreted into cerebrospinal fluid, notably transthyretin. more...

(Submitter supplied) Age-appropriate regulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics including production, flow, and clearance (e.g. via glymphatics and dural lymphatics) is essential for brain health. The choroid plexus (ChP) is an important compartment in CSF dynamics but its contribution is poorly understood. To identify temporally regulated ChP epithelial cell functions that may relate to increased ATP demand, we investigated transcripts that are prioritized for translation, therefore reflecting the functional preference of the ChP tissue. more...

(Submitter supplied) The Otx2 homeobox transcription factor is essential for gastrulation and early neural development. We generated Otx2 conditional knockout (cKO) mice to investigate its roles in telencephalon development after E9.0. We conducted transcriptional profiling and in situ hybridization to identify genes de-regulated in Otx2 cKO ventral forebrain. In parallel, we used ChIP-seq to identify enhancer elements, OTX2 binding motif, and which de-regulated genes are likely direct targets of Otx2 transcriptional regulation. more...

(Submitter supplied) The choroid plexus (ChP) is a protective epithelial barrier that filters blood and secretes cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), an important fluid for nutrient maintenance in the brain and transport of signalling molecules. Here, we establish human ChP organoids with a selective epithelial barrier that secrete CSF-like fluid in self-contained compartments. We show that this in vitro barrier exhibits the same selectivity to small molecules as the in vivo counterpart, and that ChP-CSF organoids can predict CNS permeability of novel compounds. more...

(Submitter supplied) A sheet of choroid plexus epithelial cells extends into each cerebral ventricle and secretes signaling factors into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). To evaluate whether differences in the CSF proteome across ventricles arise, in part, from regional differences in choroid plexus gene expression, we defined the transcriptome of lateral ventricle (telencephalic) vs. fourth ventricle (hindbrain) choroid plexus. more...

(Submitter supplied) In the vertebrate retina, the Otx2 transcription factor plays a crucial role in the cell fate determination of both rod and cone photoreceptors. Otx2 conditional knockout (CKO) mice exhibited a total absence of rods and cones in the retina due to their cell fate conversion to amacrine-like cells. In order to investigate the entire transcriptome regulated by Otx2 in the developing retina, we performed microarray analysis on the Otx2 CKO retina.

Transmission and secretion of signals via the choroid plexus (ChP) brain barrier can modulate brain states via regulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) composition. Here, we developed a platform to analyze diurnal variations in male mouse ChP and CSF. Ribosome profiling of ChP epithelial cells revealed diurnal translatome differences in metabolic machinery, secreted proteins, and barrier components. more...

The OTX2 transcription factor is one such gene, with a requirement for eye formation, photoreceptor and retinal pigment epithelium specification, among others. During the time period of retinal fate choice, OTX2 is expressed in subsets of retinal progenitor cells with restricted fate choices. more...
