5) Mouse adult neurogenesis study
1) Introduction / Keywords
Experimental paradigm
Premiminary data: Decrease Otx2 expression in the choroid plexus leads to decreased DCX staining
Nature review / Ben Brahim Mohammed, Fès Faculty / InTechOpen
2) Otx2 is highly expressed by the mouse choroid
plexus and is secreted in the CSF

6) Otx2 transcriptional targets
Concept:
(Non?) cell autonomous target
Experimental paradigm
RNAseq data from WT choroid plexus
Otx2 / Dapi
3) Otx2 protein is non cell autonomous in SVZ
Otx2 is not expressed
in SVZ
In situ hydridization
Preliminary data: constitutive knock down model at P100
Otx2 protein is present in SVZ
Immunoprecipitation
Corpus callosum
SVZ
247 genes are differentially expressed between WT and Otx2
188/247 genes analyzed by GSEA
For p<0,001: 42 enriched in GO database
Otx2 protein is present in migrating chains

4) Models for studying Otx2 transfer from choroid
plexus to SVZ

Descriptive : - Confirm astrocyte localization of Otx2
- Perform AAV5 Otx2-HA infection to confirm Otx2 choroid plexus origin
Functional : - Perform adult neurogenesis study
- Confirm decrease of Otx2 in astrocytes after Otx2 choroid plexus KD
Molecular : - Perform RNAseq on Otx2 lox model (choroid plexus and SVZ)
- Perform ChIP on selected potential Otx2 target genes
- Use secreted single chain antibody against Otx2 to differentiate
between cell and non cell autonomous targets
Single chain antibody model
