ABSTRACT
Topoisomerase IIA (TOP2a) has traditionally been known as an important nuclear enzyme that resolves entanglements and relieves torsional stress of DNA double strands. However, its function in genomic transcriptional regulation remains largely unknown, especially during adult neurogenesis. Here, we show that TOP2a is preferentially expressed in neurogenic niches in the brain of adult mice, such as the subventricular zone (SVZ). Conditional knockout of Top2a in adult neural stem cells (NSCs) of the SVZ significantly inhibits their self-renewal and proliferation, and ultimately reduces neurogenesis. To gain insight into the molecular mechanisms by which TOP2a regulates adult NSCs, we perform RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) plus chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-Seq) and identify ubiquitin-specific protease 37 (Usp37) as a direct TOP2a target gene. Importantly, overexpression of Usp37 is sufficient to rescue the impaired self-renewal ability of adult NSCs caused by Top2a knockdown. Taken together, this proof-of-principle study illustrates a TOP2a/Usp37-mediated novel molecular mechanism in adult neurogenesis, which will significantly expand our understanding of the function of topoisomerase in the adult brain.
