Regionally defined proteomic profiles of human cerebral tissue and organoids reveal conserved molecular modules of neurodevelopment
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Cerebral organoids have emerged as robust models for neurodevelopmental and pathological processes, as well as a powerful discovery platform for less-characterized neurobiological programs. Toward this prospect, we leverage mass-spectrometry-based proteomics to molecularly profile precursor and neuronal compartments of both human-derived organoids and mid-gestation fetal brain tissue to define overlapping programs. Our analysis includes recovery of precursor-enriched transcriptional regulatory proteins not found to be differentially expressed in previous transcriptomic datasets. To highlight the discovery potential of this resource, we show that RUVBL2 is preferentially expressed in the SOX2-positive compartment of organoids and that chemical inactivation leads to precursor cell displacement and apoptosis. To explore clinicopathological correlates of this cytoarchitectural disruption, we interrogate clinical datasets and identify rare de novo genetic variants involving RUVBL2 in patients with neurodevelopmental impairments. Together, our findings demonstrate how cell-type-specific profiling of organoids can help nominate previously unappreciated genes in neurodevelopment and disease.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
