Project description:The roles of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in synaptic transmission and neuronal development are emerging. Here we applied an integrated bioinformatic/biological screening strategy to identify lncRNAs that regulate synaptic vesicle release. We identified neuroLNC, a conserved neuron-specific nuclear lncRNA that modulates synaptic vesicle release, presynaptic calcium influx, neurite elongation and neuronal migration. In neurons neuroLNC interacts with a neurodegeneration-associated protein and tunes a set of presynaptic transcripts implicated in neurotransmitter release.

Project description:Specific autoantibodies against the NMDA-receptor (NMDAR) GluN1 subunit cause severe and debilitating NMDAR-encephalitis. Autoantibodies induce prototypic disease symptoms resembling schizophrenia, including psychosis and cognitive dysfunction. Using a mouse passive transfer model applying human monoclonal anti-GluN1-autoantibodies, we observed CA1 pyramidal neuron hypoexcitability, reduced AMPA-receptor (AMPAR) signaling, and faster synaptic inhibition resulting in disrupted excitatory-inhibitory balance. Functional alterations were supported by widespread remodeling of the hippocampal proteome, including changes in glutamatergic and GABAergic neurotransmission. At the network level, anti-GluN1-autoantibodies amplified gamma oscillations and disrupted theta-gamma coupling. A data-informed network model revealed that lower AMPAR strength and faster GABAA-receptor current kinetics chiefly account for these abnormal oscillations. As predicted by our model and evidenced experimentally, positive allosteric modulation of AMPARs alleviated aberrant gamma activity and thus reinforced the causative effects of the excitatory-inhibitory imbalance. Collectively, NMDAR-hypofunction-induced aberrant synaptic, cellular, and network dynamics provide new mechanistic insights into disease symptoms in NMDAR-encephalitis and schizophrenia.

Project description:N-methyl-D-aspartate type glutamate receptors (NMDARs) are key mediators of synaptic activity-regulated gene transcription in neurons, both during development and in the adult brain. Developmental differences in the GluN2 subunit composition of NMDARs determines whether NMDARs activate the transcription factor CREB. However, whether the developmentally-regulated GluN3A subunit also modulates NMDAR-induced transcription was unknown. Here we show that knocking down GluN3A in rat hippocampal neurons promotes the inducible transcription of a subset of NMDAR-sensitive genes. This enhancement is mediated by the accumulation of phosphorylated p38 MAP kinase in the nucleus, which drives the activation of the transcription factor MEF2C and promotes the transcription of a subset of synaptic activity-induced genes including Bdnf and Arc. Our evidence that GluN3A negatively regulates MEF2C-dependent transcription reveals a novel mechanism by which NMDAR subunit composition confers specificity on the program of synaptic activity-regulated gene transcription in developing neurons.

Project description:Genetic linkage analysis suggested that GKAP, a scaffold protein of the NMDA receptor (NMDAR), was a potential modifier of invasion in a mouse model of pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer (PanNET). Here we establish that GKAP governs invasive growth and treatment response of PanNET via its pivotal role in regulating the NMDAR pathway activity. Combining genetic knockdown of GKAP and pharmacological inhibition of NMDAR, we distilled gene expression signatures orchestrated by the NMDAR-GKAP axis, in addition to identifying two downstream effectors FMRP and HSF-1. Additionally, GKAP, FMRP, and HSF1 are functionally implicated in invasiveness of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Finally, gene expression signatures in tumors with low NMDAR activity are significantly associated with favorable patient prognosis in several cancer types.

Project description:Elevated c-Jun levels result in apoptosis and are evident in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia and after global cerebral insults such as stroke and epilepsy. NMDA receptor (NMDAR) antagonists block c-Jun upregulation and prevent neuronal cell death following excitotoxic insults. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms that regulate c-Jun abundance in neurons. Here we show that PRR7, a component of synaptic junctions, can upregulate c-Jun levels by inhibiting its ubiquitination in neurons. PRR7 interacts with the GLUN1 subunit of NMDARs and is upregulated in the nucleus following NMDAR activation. We show that PRR7 interacts with the E3 ligase SCFFBW7 (FBW7) and blocks the FBW7-mediated ubiquitination of c-Jun. PRR7 overexpression increases c-Jun-dependent transcriptional activity and promotes neuronal death. Microarray assays indicate that both Prr7 knockdown or overexpression alter the abundance of c-Jun-regulated transcripts associated with cellular viability as well as synaptic function. Moreover, Prr7 knockdown attenuates NMDA-mediated excitotoxicity in primary neuronal cultures. Our results show that PRR7 links NMDAR activity to c-Jun function and provide insight into the processes that underlie NMDA-dependent excitotoxicity. Four biological replicas of each of the four conditions: NO = not transduced with virus; NT = transduced with control lentiviruses containing a non-targeting shRNA sequence; KD = transduced with lentiviruses expressing PRR7-specific shRNAs; OE= transduced with lentiviruses to overexpress PRR7.

Project description:DNA damage has been implicated in neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease and other tauopathies, but the consequences of genotoxic stress to postmitotic neurons are poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that p53, a key mediator of the DNA damage response, plays a neuroprotective role in a Drosophila model of tauopathy. Further, through a whole-genome ChIP-chip analysis we identify genes controlled by p53 in postmitotic neurons. We genetically validate a specific pathway, synaptic function, in p53-mediated neuroprotection. We then demonstrate that the control of synaptic genes by p53 is conserved in mammals. Collectively, our results implicate synaptic function as a central target in p53-dependent protection from neurodegeneration. 4 samples: tau vs. control

Project description:The histone deacetylase HDAC2, which negatively regulates neuronal plasticity and synaptic gene expression, is upregulated both in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients and mouse models (Graff et al., 2012). Therapeutics targeting HDAC2 are speculated to be a promising avenue for ameliorating AD related cognitive impairment. However, attempts to generate HDAC2-specific inhibitors have not been successful. Here, we take a novel approach utilizing integrative genomics to identify proteins that mediate HDAC2 recruitment to synaptic plasticity genes. Functional screening revealed that knockdown of the transcription factor Sp3 phenocopied HDAC2 knockdown, and that Sp3 facilitated the recruitment of HDAC2 to synaptic genes. Importantly, like HDAC2, Sp3 expression was elevated in AD patients and mouse models, where Sp3 knockdown ameliorated synaptic dysfunction. Furthermore, exogenous expression of an HDAC2 fragment containing the Sp3 binding domain fully restored synaptic plasticity and memory in a mouse model with severe neurodegeneration. Our findings indicate that targeting the HDAC2-Sp3 complex could enhance synaptic and cognitive function, without affecting HDAC2 function in other processes.
