Abstract

Calcium, the most versatile second messenger, regulates essential biology including crucial cellular events in embryogenesis. We investigated impacts of calcium channels and purinoceptors on neuronal differentiation of normal mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs), with outcomes being compared to those of in vitro models of Huntington’s disease (HD). Intracellular calcium oscillations tracked via real-time fluorescence and luminescence microscopy revealed a significant correlation between calcium transient activity and rhythmic proneuronal transcription factor expression in ESCs stably expressing ASCL-1 or neurogenin-2 promoters fused to luciferase reporter genes. We uncovered that pharmacological manipulation of L-type voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) and purinoceptors induced a two-step process of neuronal differentiation. Specifically, L-type calcium channel-mediated augmentation of spike-like calcium oscillations first promoted stable expression of ASCL-1 in differentiating ESCs, which following P2Y2 purinoceptor activation matured into GABAergic neurons. By contrast, there was neither spike-like calcium oscillations nor responsive P2Y2 receptors in HD-modeling stem cells in vitro. The data shed new light on mechanisms underlying neurogenesis of inhibitory neurons. Moreover, our approach may be tailored to identify pathogenic triggers of other developmental neurological disorders for devising targeted therapies.
