M6A-facilitated hippocampal learning and memory through Ythdf1

ABSTRACT: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent internal RNA modification in mammalian messenger RNAs (mRNAs). While m6A has been shown to mark groups of mRNAs for coordinated degradation in various physiological processes, the relevance of m6A in affecting translation remains to be determined in intact biological systems in vivo. Here we show that, through its reader protein Ythdf1, m6A promotes a pulse of protein synthesis of target transcripts in response to neuronal stimuli in the adult mouse hippocampus, thereby facilitating learning and memory processes. Mice with genetic deletion of the Ythdf1 gene (Ythdf1-/-) exhibit learning and memory defects, as well as impaired hippocampal synaptic transmission and long-term potentiation (LTP). Selective re-expression of Ythdf1 in the hippocampus of adult Ythdf1-/- mice fully rescues the behavioral and synaptic defects, while hippocampus-specific knockdown of Ythdf1 or Mettl3, the catalytic component of m6A methyltransferase complex, recapitulates the hippocampal deficiency in adult mice. At the molecular level, transcriptome-wide mapping of m6A sites and RNA binding sites of Ythdf1 on hippocampal mRNAs using crosslinking immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (CLIP-seq) uncovered key neuronal genes, including those involved in synaptic transmission and long-term potentiation. Nascent protein labelling and tether reporter assays in cultured hippocampal neurons revealed that Ythdf1 is critical for initiating a pulse of protein synthesis of target transcripts in a neuronal-stimulus-dependent manner. Collectively, our results uncover a pathway of mRNA m6A methylation in learning and memory, which is mediated through Ythdf1 in response to stimuli.

Basic Helix Loop Helix Enhancer 40 Null Mice Have Impaired Synaptic Plasticity, Enhanced Neuronal Excitability, and Decreased Expression of Insulin Degrading Enzyme

Project description:Basic helix loop helix enhancer 40 (Bhlhe40) is a transcription factor expressed in rodent hippocampus, however, its role in neuronal function is not well understood. Here, we used Bhlhe40 null mice on a congenic C57Bl6/J background (Bhlhe40 KO) to investigate the impact of Bhlhe40 on neuronal excitability and synaptic plasticity. A whole genome expression array predicted that Bhlhe40 KO mice have up-regulated insulin-related pathways and down-regulated neuronal signaling-related pathways in the hippocampus. We validated that insulin degrading enzyme mRNA (Ide) and IDE protein are significantly downregulated in Bhlhe40 KO hippocampi. No significant difference was observed in hippocampal insulin levels. In hippocampal slices, we found CA1 neurons have increased miniature excitatory post-synaptic current (mEPSC) amplitude and decreased inhibitory post-synaptic current (IPSC) amplitude, indicating hyper-excitability in CA1 neurons in Bhlhe40 KO mice. At CA1 synapses, we found a reduction in long term potentiation (LTP) and long term depression (LTD), indicating an impairment in hippocampal synaptic plasticity in Bhlhe40 KO hippocampal slices. Bhlhe40 KO mice displayed no difference in seizure response to the convulsant kainic acid (KA) relative to controls. We found that while Bhlhe40 KO mice have decreased exploratory behavior they do not display alterations in spatial learning and memory. Together this suggests that Bhlhe40 plays a role in modulating neuronal excitability and synaptic plasticity ex vivo, however, Bhlhe40 alone does not play a significant role in seizure susceptibility and learning and memory in vivo. In addition, based on the reduction in IDE protein levels in these mice, there may be dysregulation of other known IDE substrates, namely insulin growth factor (Igf)-1, Igf-2, and Amyloid beta (Aβ).

Deficiency of intellectual disability-related gene Brpf1 attenuated hippocampal excitatory neurotransmission and impaired learning and memory behavior

Project description:We hypothesized that mouse Brpf1 plays critical roles in the morphology and function of hippocampal neurons, and its deficiency leads to learning and memory deficits. To test this, we performed immunofluorescence, whole-cell patch clamp, mRNA-Seq on shBrpf1 infected primary cultured hippocampal neurons to study the effect of Brpf1 knockdown on neuronal morphology, electrophysiological characteristics and gene regulation. In addition, we performed stereotactic injection into adult mouse hippocampus to knockdown Brpf1 in vivo and examined the learning and memory ability by Morris Water Maze. We found that mild knockdown of Brpf1 reduced mEPSC frequency of cultured hippocampal neurons, before any significant changes of dendritic morphology showed. We also found that hippocampal knockdown of Brpf1 reduced the learning and memory ability of mice to some extent. Finally, mRNA-Seq analyses showed that genes related to learning, memory, movement and synaptic transmission (such as C1ql1, Gpr17, Htr1d, Glra1, Cxcl10, Grin2a) were dysregulated upon Brpf1 knockdown. Our results showed that Brpf1 mild knockdown attenuated hippocampal excitatory neurotransmission and reduced learning and memory ability, which helps explain the symptoms of patients with BRPF1 mutations.

ERRγ links adaptive neuronal metabolism to spatial learning and memory [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Neurons utilize glucose to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP) essential for their survival, excitability and synaptic signaling, as well as initiating changes in neuronal structure and function. Defects in oxidative metabolism and mitochondria functions are also associated with aging and diverse human neurological diseases1-4. While neurons are known to adapt their metabolism to meet the increased energy demands of complex behaviors such as learning and memory, the molecular underpinnings regulating this process remain poorly understood4-6. Here we show that the orphan nuclear receptor estrogen related receptor gamma (ERRγ) becomes highly expressed during retinoic-acid induced neurogenesis and is widely expressed in neuronal nuclei throughout the brain. Mechanistically, we show that ERRγ directly orchestrates the expression of networks of genes involved in mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and energy generation in neurons. The importance of this regulation is evidenced by decreased adaptive metabolic capacity in cultured neurons lacking ERRγ, and reduced long-term potentiation (LTP) in ERRγ-/- hippocampal slices. Notably, the defect in LTP was rescued by the metabolic intermediate pyruvate, functionally linking the ERRγ knockout metabolic phenotype and memory formation. Consistent with this notion, mice lacking neuronal ERRγ exhibit defects in spatial learning and memory. These findings implicate ERRγ in the metabolic adaptations required for long-term memory formation. We used ChIP-Seq analysis to determine the genome-wide binding of ERRγ in neurons derived from ES cells.

RNA-seq of hippocampus from wild type and CTCF cko animals

Project description:CTCF is an organizer of higher-order chromatin structure, and regulates gene expression. Genetic studies have implicated mutations in CTCF in intellectual disabilities. However, there is no knowledge of the role of CTCF-mediated chromatin structure in learning and memory. We show that depletion of CTCF in postmitotic neurons, or depletion in the hippocampus of adult mice through viral-mediated knockout, induces deficits in learning and memory. These deficits in learning and memory at the beginning of adulthood are correlated with impaired long term potentiation and reduced spine density, with no changes in basal synaptic transmission and dendritic morphogenesis and arborization. Cognitive disabilities are associated with downregulation of cadherin and learning-related genes. In addition, CTCF knockdown attenuates fear conditioning-induced hippocampal gene expression of key learning genes and loss of long-range interactions at the BDNF and Arc loci. This study identifies CTCF-dependent gene expression regulation and DNA structure as regulators of learning and memory.

Distinct cognitive effects and underlying transcriptome changes upon inhibition of individual miRNAs in hippocampal neurons

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNA) are small, non-coding RNAs mediating post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. miRNAs have recently been implicated in hippocampus-dependent functions such as learning and memory, although the roles of individual miRNAs in these processes remain largely unknown. Here, we achieved stable inhibition using AAV-delivered miRNA sponges of individual, highly expressed and brain-enriched miRNAs; miR-124, miR-9 and miR-34, in hippocampal neurons. Molecular and cognitive studies revealed a role for miR-124 in learning and memory. Inhibition of miR-124 resulted in an enhanced spatial learning and working memory capacity, potentially through altered levels of genes linked to synaptic plasticity and neuronal transmission. In contrast, inhibition of miR-9 or miR-34 led to a decreased capacity of spatial learning and of reference memory, respectively. On a molecular level, miR-9 inhibition resulted in altered expression of genes related to cell adhesion, endocytosis and cell death, while miR-34 inhibition caused transcriptome changes linked to neuroactive ligand-receptor transduction and cell communication. In summary, this study establishes distinct roles for individual miRNAs in hippocampal function. Three RNA samples containing bilateral entire hippocampi from three different mice, per group. Group 1 were injected with vector containing GFP and a miR34sp/miR9sp and the other group were subjected to a vector expressing GFP only.

ERRγ links adaptive neuronal metabolism to spatial learning and memory [Array data]

We used microarray analysis to compare the genome-wide gene expression changes between wild type (WT) and ERRγ-/- P0 cerebral cortex as it contains mainly neuronal lineage at this stage compared to adult cortex.

Cav3.2 T-type calcium channel-dependent gene expression after retrieval of context-associated memory (right hippocampus)

Project description:Among all voltage-gated calcium channels, the T-type Ca2+ channels encoded by the Cav3 genes are highly expressed in the hippocampus, which is associated with contextual, temporal and spatial learning and memory. However, the specific involvement of the Cav3.2 T-type Ca2+ channel in these hippocampus-dependent types of learning and memory remains unclear. To investigate the functional role of the 1H channel in learning and memory, we subjected Cav3.2 homozygous, heterozygous knockout and their wild-type littermates to hippocampus-dependent behavioral tasks, including trace fear conditioning (TFC), the Morris water-maze and passive avoidance. The Cav3.2-/- mice performed normally in the Morris water-maze and auditory trace fear conditioning tasks but were impaired in the context-cued trace fear conditioning, step-down and step-through passive avoidance tasks. Furthermore, long-term potentiation (LTP) could be induced for 180 minutes in hippocampal slices of WTs and Cav3.2+/- mice, whereas LTP persisted for only 120 minutes in Cav3.2-/- mice. To determine whether the hippocampal formation is responsible for the impaired behavioral phenotypes , we next performed experiments locally knock down function of the Cav3.2 T-type Ca2+ channel in the hippocampus. Wild-type mice infused with mibefradil exhibited similar behaviors as homozygous knockouts. Finally, microarray analyses indicated that Cav3.2-/- and WT mice presented distinct hippocampal transcriptome profiles. Taken together, our results demonstrate that retrieval of context-associated memory is dependent on the Cav3.2 T-type Ca2+ channel. After WT and Cav3.2 KO mice retrieval of context-associated memory, three right hippocampi of each group were dissected, pooled together and homogenized. The products of experimental and naive groups were used to acquire expression profiles of a total of 29,922 unique genes. Two replicates per group.
