Popis: Summary Throughout life, adult neural stem cells (NSCs) produce new neurons and glia that contribute to crucial brain functions. Quiescence is an essential protective feature of adult NSCs; however, the establishment and maintenance of this state remain poorly understood. We demonstrate that in the adult zebrafish pallium, the brain-enriched miR-9 is expressed exclusively in a subset of quiescent NSCs, highlighting a heterogeneity within these cells, and is necessary to maintain NSC quiescence. Strikingly, miR-9, along with Argonaute proteins (Agos), is localized to the nucleus of quiescent NSCs, and manipulating their nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio impacts quiescence. Mechanistically, miR-9 permits efficient Notch signaling to promote quiescence, and we identify the RISC protein TNRC6 as a mediator of miR-9/Agos nuclear localization in vivo. We propose a conserved non-canonical role for nuclear miR-9/Agos in controlling the balance between NSC quiescence and activation, a key step in maintaining adult germinal pools.
Graphical Abstract
Highlights • miR-9 highlights a state heterogeneity among adult quiescent neural stem cells (NSC) • miR-9 maintains NSC quiescence notably through permitting efficient Notch signaling • miR-9, along with Argonaute proteins, is present in the nucleus of adult quiescent NSCs • Active nucleo-cytoplasmic shuttling of miR-9/Ago impacts NSCs quiescence status
An essential protective feature of adult neural stem cells is their relative quiescence. Katz et al. identify microRNA-9 as crucial factor that maintains adult NSCs quiescence and sets a heterogeneity within these cells, through a non-canonical nuclear mode of action.
