Supplementary Figure 1: Drosha is expressed by cells through the developing dorsal

telencephalon and knockdown results in loss of VZ progenitor status. Lineage tracing of

Hes5::Cre expressing cells by electroporation

a. In situ mRNA hybridization showing Drosha mRNA expression in the dorsal telencephalon of

E14.5 mouse embryo. Drosha RNA levels seem to show a dynamic expression pattern during the

differentiation of progenitors in the VZ to SVZ/IZ and differentiating immature neurons in the marginal

zone (MZ). Sense control for the in situ mRNA hybridization confirming specificity.

Nature Neuroscience: doi:10.1038/nn.3139

b. Scheme of Hes5::Cre construct expressing Cre–recombinase from the Hes5 regulatory

elements1. A pCAGGs Cre–reporter allele mouse line was used for lineage tracing of Hes5::Cre

expressing cells.

c. Scheme of experimental procedure, in utero electoroporation of Hes5::Cre vector and

pCAGGs::mCherry as transfection reporter into VZ progenitors into E13.5 pCAGGs::floxed–STOP–

eGFP mouse embryos. Embryos were returned to the mother and sacrificed 2 days later at E15.5.

d. Transfection of control pCAGGs::floxed–STOP–eGFP embryos with Hes5::Cre and

pCAGGs::mCherry constructs. mCherry+ cells are present within the VZ and SVZ/IZ 48 hours post–

transfection. GFP expression reflects recombination of the pCAGGs::floxed–STOP–eGFP allele. As

expected of Notch signaling progenitors, most are still within the VZ and few have commenced

differentiation and migrated to the SVZ/IZ. The mCherry+GFP- cells in the SVZ/IZ represent Hes5–

neural progenitors that commenced differentiation and exited the VZ.

Scale bars = 100 µm.

Supplementary Figure 2: Drosha KD induces neural progenitors differentiation

a. Quantification of the efficiency of the Drosha shRNA knockdown in N2A cells by qRT–PCR

relative to shRNAs directed against GFP as a control. Functional control shRNAs were expressed in

all of the experiments to monitor for Dicer and RISC quenching effects that could result from high–

level shRNA expression. Verification of shRNA efficiency of Drosha KD in N2A cells by Western blot

analysis using GAPDH as a loading control.

b. shRNA Drosha knockdown (KD) results in neural progenitors down regulating Pax6 and exiting

the VZ. Transfected cells labeled by mCherry expression.

c. Quantification of Pax6 expression by Drosha KD cells relative to control

d. shRNA–mediated Drosha KD results in precocious exit of progenitors from the VZ and loss of

the progenitor marker Sox2.

e. Quantification of Sox2 expressing Drosha KD cells relative to control shRNA (GFP) expressing

cells.

f. Transdominant negative (TN) Drosha phenocopies Drosha KD inducing neural progenitors exit

from the VZ.

g. Quantification of Pax6 expression by TN Drosha cells relative to control.

Ventricular zone – VZ, subventricular zone – SVZ, intermediate zone – IZ, marginal zone – MZ.

Supplementary Figure 3: Drosha KD disrupts cellular morphology which can lead to VZ

dysplasia

a. VZ neural progenitors normally display a polarized and radial morphology, express progenitor

markers including GLAST and have apically localized γ–Tubulin expression. Drosha KD cells show a

rounded morphology synonymous with a loss of polarized morphology (*). GLAST expression is

disturbed in the KD cells and γ–Tubulin is no longer predominantly at the apical end feet of the radial

progenitors but looks to be distributed into the ventricular zone.

b. In regions where many cells were transfected, the cytoarchitecture of control shRNA expressing

cells was not disturbed. Filamentous actin revealed by phaloidin staining is prominent at apical surface

of the VZ. In regions where many Drosha KD cells are present, the cytoarchitecture of the cells is

disturbed, progenitors no longer form a clear apical boundary to the VZ and the cortical actin

cytoskeleton is distributed throughout the VZ.

Ventricular zone – VZ, subventricular zone – SVZ, intermediate zone – IZ. Scale bars = 20 µm.

Supplementary Figure 4: Drosha KD neural progenitors down–regulate Notch signaling

a. Scheme of the Hes5::GFP transgene expressing eGFP from the Hes5 regulatory elements1. 1.6

kb of the mouse Hes5 gene and 1.4 kb of downstream sequence including exons I, II and III and

endogenous introns. The transgene uses the endogenous Hes5 5–prime and 3–prime untranslated

regions including the Hes5 polyadenylation signal. Transfection of Hes5::GFP mouse embryo and

tracing of cells with pCAGGs::mCherry vector (red).

Nature Neuroscience: doi:10.1038/nn.3139

b. Hes5::GFP expression is restricted to the VZ progenitors. VZ neural progenitors transfected with

control shRNA against renilla luciferase retain Notch signaling. The majority of the Drosha KD cells

leave the VZ. Boxed areas are shown in high magnification in c.

c. VZ neural progenitors transfected with control shRNAs retain Hes5::GFP expression. Many

Drosha KD cells show low levels of Hes5::GFP expression compared to untransfected VZ neural

progenitors indicative of differentiation.

Scale bars in a and b = 100 µm in c = 20 µm.

Supplementary Figure 5: Drosha cKO results in increased cell death over time

a. Drosha KD does not induce Caspase 3 activation of neural progenitors 24 hours or 48 hours (not

shown) post–transfection.

b. Four days after Drosha cKO cells migrated to the cortical plate (CP) and show a normal

neuronal morphology (i and ii). Some cells in the SVZ/IZ show aberrant morphology and cell debris is

evident (iii and iv) indicative of cell death (arrow).

c. Four days after Dicer cKO few cells are found in the cortical plate (CP) and massive cell death

results in remnant cell debris in the SVZ/IZ (v–vii; arrows). Most of the remaining mCherry cells in the

Dicer cKO lack DAPI staining (arrows).

d. Four days post–transfection most control cells have entered the cortical plate (CP) and show a

normal neuronal morphology (viii). Cells in the SVZ/IZ are reminiscent of migratory neurobasts en

route to the CP (ix).

e. Four days post–transfection (E17.5), Drosha KD cells migrate to the cortical plate (CP) and

TUNEL staining of transfected cells increases similar to the effect of inactivation Dicer and miRNA

function. Hence, loss of Drosha also reflects Dicer and miRNA requirements in immature neurons in

the cortical plate.

Scale bars = 20 µm.

Supplementary Figure 6: Drosha KD does not induce increased expression of the basal

progenitor marker Tbr2 even though Drosha KD cells exit the VZ reduces neurospherogenic

NSC self–renewal

a. Drosha KD cells exit the VZ and enter the SVZ/IZ. Most Drosha cells migrate to the IZ outside

the Tbr2 expression domain (circled with dotted line).

b. Quantification of Tbr2 expression by Drosha KD cells relative to control.

c. Quantification of Drosha KD cells in the IZ relative to control.

d. Quantification of Tbr2 expression by Drosha KD cells relative to control 48 hours post–

transfection.

e. Scheme of procedure to isolate electroporated (red) embryonic day (E) 14.5 (shRNA KD) or

E15.5 (Drosha cKO analysis) neural progenitors for qRT–PCR and TaqMan miRNA analysis. Wild

type embryos were electroporated with Dorsha shRNA or control (GFP) shRNA expression vectors

and analyzed at E14.5. Droshaflox/flox and Droshaflox/wt embryos were electroporated with Hes5::Cre

vector and analyzed at E15.5.

f. Scheme of the experimental procedure. neural progenitors isolated from Droshaflox/flox, Dicerflox/flox,

Droshaflox/wt and Dicerflox/wt mice were expanded as neurospheres. Dissociated neural progenitors were

infected with Adeno–Cre viruses to induce recombination of the Drosha and Dicer alleles.

g. Conditional knockout (cKO) through Adeno–Cre infection of neural progenitors results in a loss

of Drosha protein in neurosphere 5 days post–infection (1°) and after passaging (2°) compared to

infected Droshaflox/wt NSCs.

Error bars represent s.e.m. Scale bar = 20 µm.

Supplementary Figure 7: Drosha KD and DGCR8 KD do not cause a global reduction in

mature miRNA levels after 28 hours but miRNA levels reduce in NSCs by 5 days after Drosha

cKO

In order to address whether Drosha KD and DGCR8 KD had a global effect on mature miRNA, we

performed qRT–PCR for specific miRNAs known to be expressed during neural development and

represented by miR15a and miR30d.

a. Quantification of relative miR15a and miR30d levels in Drosha KD and DGCR8 KD cells isolated

from electroporated cells by FACS and compared to control shRNA expressing neural progenitors.

Neither Drosha KD nor DGCR8 KD cells showed significant changes in miR15a or miR30d levels 24

hours post–KD even at the point where phenotypic changes are clear. Control cell miRNA levels were

set to 1.

b. Numerical depiction of the qRT–PCR analysis shown in a.

c. Delta CT plot of relative miRNA expression profiles of control (Droshaflox/wt) (y–axis) and Drosha

cKO (x–axis) neural progenitor cells. Correlation coefficient R2 = 0.2091 indicates major changes in

miRNA levels 5 days after Drosha cKO. Control NSCs express 135 miRNAs whereas Drosha cKO

NSCs express 44 and the expression of these is reduce compared to controls (supplementary Tables

2 and 3).

Error bars represent s.e.m.

Supplementary Figure 8: shRNA Ngn2 KD can rescue Drosha KD neural progenitors

a. Co–expression of shRNAs targeting Ngn2 and Drosha rescues neural progenitors which then

show a normal distribution in the VZ and SVZ/IZ compared to control cells expressing a scrambled

shRNA.

b. Quantification of cell distribution following simultaneous Drosha KD and Ngn2 KD showing the

rescue of VZ neural progenitors relative to control (scrambled shRNA).

Error bars represent s.e.m. Scale bars = 20 µm.

Supplementary Figure 9: Drosha interacts with Ngn2 mRNA

a. Scheme of the cross–linked immunoprecipitation (CLIP) procedure leading to analysis of bound

RNAs by qRT–PCR.

b. Gel analysis of amplicons for Ngn2 and DGCR8 after CLIP with Drosha (WT) and TN Drosha

(TN). Flag–tagged GFP was CLIPed as a control. The agarose gels are representative experiments

performed in duplicate (2 lanes per CLIP). CLIP RT+ shows amplification of precipitated Ngn2 and

DGCR8 RNAs. CLIP RT– and Input RT+ are controls for RNA amplification and absence of genomic

DNA contamination and equal amounts of input RNA into the CLIP experiments in each sample. The

specificity of the amplicons was verified by sequencing.

Figure 10: Drosha and the MP have dual roles for regulating the neural progenitor proteome

a. Drosha and DGCR8 are central components of the microprocessor catalyzing the processing of

pri–miRNA to pre–miRNA during miRNA biogenesis in the nucleus. The pre–miRNA is exported to the

cytoplasm and further processed by Dicer and loaded onto the RNA–induced silencing complex

(RISC) before targeting to mRNAs (upper). We present evidence that the MP can bind hairpins in

mRNAs directly, here shown for Ngn2 mRNA, and cleave the RNA into fragments that are degraded

and thus regulate the proteome through RNA destabilization in a Dicer– and miRNA–independent

fashion (lower).

b. Scheme of Hes and Ngn2 expression dynamics in neural stem/progenitor cells. Hes genes are

under the transcriptional control of canonical Notch signaling and Hes proteins repress their own gene

transcription resulting in an oscillatory expression2,3. Hes proteins repress Ngn2 transcription4,5. Ngn2

mRNA is destabilized by Drosha and the MP to prevent mRNA accumulation during neural

stem/progenitor cell maintenance. Loss of Notch signaling results in loss of Hes expression and relief

of Ngn2 transcriptional repression. Combined with a reduction in MP–mediated destabilization of its

mRNA and the associated increase in protein, Ngn2 promotes neurogenic differentiation of

stem/progenitor cells. The signals that positively regulate Ngn2 transcription are not well understood.

Supplementary Table 1. Microarray analysis and comparative quantification of miRNAs in Drosha cKO and control neural progenitors 48 hours post-

inactivation

The expression levels of the miRNA assays were quantified using the Relative Quantification (RQ) method. The data was normalized by geometric mean normalization,

using as normalizers miRNAs that were detected as stable across both assays. Stability analysis was conducted using normFinder6. miR-17 and miR-92a were used as

normalizers. Relative quantities for each miR assays (delta Ct) were calculated after normalization. Detected miRs (Ct<32) were then compared across samples.

Supplementary Table 2. Microarray analysis and comparative quantification of miRNAs in Drosha cKO and control NSCs 5 days post inactivation

The expression levels of the miRNA assays were quantified using the Relative Quantification (RQ) method. The data was normalized by geometric mean normalization,

miR-17 and miR-92a were used as normalizers. Stability analysis was conducted using normFinder6. Relative quantities for each miRNA assays (delta Ct) were calculated

after normalization. Detected miRNAs (Ct<32) were then compared across samples relative to miRNAs expressed in the Drosha cKO.

Supplementary Table 3. Microarray analysis and comparative quantification of miRNAs in Drosha cKO and control NSCs 5 days post inactivation

The expression levels of the miRNA assays were quantified using the Relative Quantification (RQ) method. The data was normalized by geometric mean normalization,

miR-17 and miR-92a were used as normalizers. Stability analysis was conducted using6. Relative quantities for each miRNA assays (delta Ct) were calculated after

normalization. Detected miRNAs (Ct<32) were then compared across samples relative to miRNAs expressed in the control.
