Abstract

Until now, limitations in the ability to enrich adult NSCs (aNSCs) have hampered meaningful analysis of these cells at the transcriptome level. Here we show via a split-Cre technology that coincident activity of the hGFAP and prominin1 promoters is a hallmark of aNSCs in vivo. Sorting of cells from the adult mouse subependymal zone (SEZ) based on their expression of GFAP and prominin1 isolates all self-renewing, multipotent stem cells at high purity. Comparison of the transcriptome of these purified aNSCs to parenchymal nonneurogenic astrocytes and other SEZ cells reveals aNSC hallmarks, including neuronal lineage priming and the importance of cilia- and Ca-dependent signaling pathways. Inducible deletion of the ciliary protein IFT88 in aNSCs validates the role of ciliary function in aNSCs. Our work reveals candidate molecular regulators for unique features of aNSCs and facilitates future selective analysis of aNSCs in other functional contexts, such as aging and injury.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Collectively, these data indicate that the aging process may not be identical in all cell types.

    “Collectively, these data indicate that the aging process may not be identical in all cell types, which is in line with our findings and with a recent transcriptome analysis of the Drosophila brain that showed a differential aging trajectory in the transcriptional profile of neurons and glial cells 59 .”
  • The findings underline the sensitivity and power of single-cell transcriptomics to reveal differences in cell identities and changes within individual cell types under different treatments and conditions, including organismal aging.

    “Our findings, in agreement with recent studies, underline the sensitivity and power of single-cell transcriptomics not only to reveal differences in cell identities, but also to reveal changes within individual cell types under different treatments and conditions 23,26,27,70 , including organismal aging 59,60 .”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
