Identification of genes involved in GABAergic Wiring

ABSTRACT: How neurons are wired to form precise circuits is crucial to understand the development of cortical functions. Glutamatergic pyramidal cell and GABAergic interneuron wire up the cortex through differentiated cellular events. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms that underlie the unique features of interneuron wiring. We performed a high-throughput genomic screen for genes upregulated specifically during GABAergic wiring.

Targeted proteoform mapping uncovers specific Neurexin-3 variants required for dendritic inhibition

Project description:Diversification of cell adhesion molecules by alternative splicing is proposed to underlie molecular codes for neuronal wiring. Transcriptomic approaches mapped detailed cell type-specific mRNA splicing programs. However, it has been hard to probe synapse-specific localization and function of the resulting protein splice isoforms, or “proteoforms”, in vivo. We here apply a proteoform-centric workflow in mice to test synapse-specific functions of splice isoforms of the synaptic adhesion molecule Neurexin-3 (NRXN3). We uncover a major proteoform, NRXN3 AS5, that is highly expressed in GABAergic interneurons and dendrite-targeting GABAergic terminals. NRXN3 AS5 abundance significantly diverges from the distribution of the Nrxn3 mRNA and is gated by translation-repressive elements. Nrxn3 AS5 isoform deletion results in selective impairment of dendrite-targeting interneuron synapses in the dentate gyrus without affecting somatic inhibition or glutamatergic perforant-path synapses. This work establishes cell- and synapse-specific functions of a specific neurexin proteoform and highlights the importance of alternative splicing regulation for synapse specification.

Combinatorial transcription factor binding encodes cis-regulatory wiring of forebrain GABAergic neurogenesis

Project description:Transcription factors (TFs) bind combinatorially to genomic cis-regulatory elements (cREs), orchestrating transcription programs. While studies of chromatin state and chromosomal interactions have revealed dynamic neurodevelopmental cRE landscapes, parallel understanding of the underlying TF binding lags. To elucidate the combinatorial TF-cRE interactions driving mouse basal ganglia development, we integrated ChIP-seq for twelve TFs, H3K4me3-associated enhancer-promoter interactions, chromatin and transcriptional state, and transgenic enhancer assays. We identified TF-cREs modules with distinct chromatin features and enhancer activity that have complementary roles driving GABAergic neurogenesis and suppressing other developmental fates. While the majority of distal cREs were bound by one or two TFs, a small proportion were extensively bound, and these enhancers also exhibited exceptional evolutionary conservation, motif density, and complex chromosomal interactions. Our results provide new insights into how modules of combinatorial TF-cRE interactions activate and repress developmental expression programs and demonstrate the value of TF binding data in modeling gene regulatory wiring.

Distinct molecular programs regulate synapse specificity in cortical inhibitory circuits

Project description:How neuronal connections are established and organized in functional networks determines brain function. In the mouse cerebral cortex, different classes of GABAergic interneurons exhibit specific connectivity patterns that underlie their ability to shape temporal dynamics and information processing. Much progress has been made parsing interneuron diversity, yet the molecular mechanisms by which interneuron subtype-specific connectivity motifs emerge remain unclear. Here we investigate transcriptional dynamics in different classes of interneurons during the formation of cortical inhibitory circuits. We found that whether the interneurons synapse with pyramidal neurons on their dendrites, soma, or axon initial segment is determined by synaptic molecules that are expressed in a subtype-specific manner. Thus cell-specific molecular programs that unfold during early postnatal development underlie the connectivity patterns of cortical interneurons.

DOT1L deletion impairs the development of cortical Parvalbumin-expressing interneurons

Project description:Our group has reported that the histone methyltransferase DOT1L is necessary for proper cortical plate development and layer distribution of glutamatergic neurons, however, its specific role on cortical interneuron development has not yet been explored. Here, we demonstrate that DOT1L affects interneuron development in a cell-autonomous manner. Deletion of Dot1l in MGE-derived interneuron precursor cells results in an overall reduction and altered distribution of GABAergic interneurons in the cortical plate at postnatal day (P) 0. Furthermore, we observed an altered proportion of GABAergic interneurons in the cortex and striatum at P21 with a significant decrease in Parvalbumin (PVALB)-expressing interneurons. Altogether, our results indicate that reduced numbers of cortical interneurons upon DOT1L deletion results from altered postmitotic differentiation/maturation.

Activation of feedforward wiring in adult hippocampal neurons by the bHLH transcription factor Ascl4

Project description:Although evidence indicates that the adult brain retains a considerable capacity for circuit formation, adult wiring has not been broadly considered and remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated wiring activation in adult neurons. Based on bioinformatic analyses on a previously published dataset (GSE161619), we identified the basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor Ascl4 as a potential regulator of adult wiring and show that the AAV-mediated overexpression of Ascl4 can cell autonomously induce wiring in different types of hippocampal neurons of adult mice. The new axons are mainly feedforward and reconfigure synaptic weights in the hippocampal circuit. Mice with rewired circuits do not display signs of pathology and solve spatial problems equally well as controls. Our results demonstrate reprogrammed connectivity by a single transcriptional factor and provide insights into the regulation of brain connectivity in adults.

Expression profiling in cortical GABAergic neurons at neonate

Project description:During embryonic development, GABAergic interneurons, a main inhibitory component in the cerebral cortex, migrate tangentially from the ganglionic eminence (GE) to cerebral cortex. After reaching the cerebral cortex, they start to extend their neurites for constructing local neuronal circuits around the neonatal stage. Aberrations in migration or neurite outgrowth are implicated in neurological and psychiatric disorders such as epilepsy, schizophrenia and autism. Previous studies revealed that in the early phase of cortical development the neural population migrates tangentially from the GE in the telencephalon and several genes have been characterized as regulators of migration and specification of GABAergic interneurons. However, much less is known about the molecular mechanisms of GABAergic interneurons-specific maturation at later stages of development. Here, we performed genome-wide screening to identify genes related to the later stage by flow cytometry based-microarray (FACS-array) and identified 247 genes expressed in cortical GABAergic interneurons. Among them, Dgkg, a member of diacylglycerol kinase family, was further analyzed. Correlational analysis revealed that Dgkg is dominantly expressed in somatostatin (SST)-expressing GABAergic interneurons. The functional study of Dgkg using GE neurons indicated alteration in neurite outgrowth of GABAergic neurons. This study shows a new functional role for Dgkg in GABAergic interneurons as well as the identification of other candidate genes for their maturation.

Landscape of ribosome-engaged alternative transcript isoforms across neuronal cell classes

Project description:The goal of this project was to assess how alternative splicing programs are arrayed across neuronal cells types. We systematically mapped ribosome-associated transcript isoforms in genetically-defined neuron types of the mouse forebrain. The endogenous ribosomal protein Rpl22 was conditionally HA-tagged in glutamatergic neurons (using CamK2-cre for most neocortical pyramidal cells and Scnn1a-cre for spiny stellate and star pyramid layer 4 cells), and GABAergic interneurons [with somatostatin-cre (SST), parvalbumin-cre (PV) and vasointestinal peptide-cre (VIP)]. Within the hippocampus, we further targeted Cornu ammonis 1 (CA1) neurons (CamK2-cre), CA3 neurons (Grik4-cre), and SST-positive interneurons (SST-cre). Four replicates were deep sequenced (~100 million reads) using an Illumina platform. We find that neuronal transcript isoform profiles reliably distinguish even closely-related classes of pyramidal cells and inhibitory interneurons in the mouse hippocampus and neocortex, positing transcript diversification by alternative splicing as a central mechanism for the functional specification of neuronal cell types and circuits.
