Foxp1 drives striatal projection neuron specification and organization via cell-type specific mechanism

ABSTRACT: The molecular mechanisms that underlie striatal development and organization remain largely unknown. Here, we show that Foxp1, a transcription factor strongly linked to autism and intellectual disability, regulates organizational features of striatal circuitry in a cell-type dependent fashion. Using single-cell RNA-sequencing, we examine the cellular diversity of the early postnatal striatum and demonstrate that Foxp1 specifies a subpopulation of indirect pathway spiny projection neurons (iSPNs) while maintaining the striosome-matrix architecture through molecular mechanisms mediated by direct pathway spiny projection neurons (dSPNs). Functionally, Foxp1 alters striatal projection patterns both cell-autonomously and non-autonomously. We connect these changes in striatal circuitry to distinct behavioral deficits relevant to phenotypes described in patients with FOXP1 loss-of-function mutations. These data reveal novel cell-type specific transcriptional mechanisms underlying distinct features of striatal circuitry and identify Foxp1 as a key regulator of striatal development

Foxp1 regulates the development of glutamatergic synaptic input onto spiny projection neurons expressing Drd2 [snRNA-seq]

Project description:Long-range glutamatergic inputs from the cortex and thalamus provide important motor and cognitive information to the striatum where they are integrated for learning and action planning. Genetic programs and transcription factors that orchestrate the development of these inputs are relatively unknown. The transcription factor, FOXP1, is crucial for the development of spiny projection neurons (SPNs) in the striatum. We investigated the cell-specific role of Foxp1 in the formation of glutamatergic inputs – including corticostriatal inputs. Embryonic Foxp1 deletion in dopamine receptor 2-expressing SPNs (D2 Foxp1cKO) leads to reduced transmission of corticostriatal excitatory inputs and decreased synaptically driven excitability. Postnatal deletion of Foxp1 also resulted in decreased glutamatergic inputs onto D2 SPNs. Single nuclei RNA sequencing of D2 Foxp1cKO striatum identified downregulated postsynaptic genes, consistent with the synaptic phenotype. Reinstating Foxp1 postnatally rescued electrophysiological deficits and expression of a subset of genes that were altered by embryonic deletion in D2 SPNs. Postnatal Foxp1 reinstatement could also rescue behavioral phenotypes. In summary, we demonstrate that FOXP1 regulates the development of corticostriatal circuitry. Further, changes at multiple levels of brain function resulting from loss of Foxp1 are rescued with postnatal Foxp1 reinstatement, indicating a therapeutic approach for individuals with FOXP1 syndrome.

PQBP1-associated proteins spectrums in HEK-293 cells

Project description:Our study shows that deletion of the alternative splicing regulator PQBP1 in striatal progenitors resulted in defective striatal development due to impaired neurogenesis of spiny projection neurons (SPNs). Therefore, we further reveal that PQBP1 associated with components in splicing machinery by LC-MS/MS. These findings identify PQBP1 as a novel regulator in balancing striatal progenitor proliferation and differentiation.

Single-cell RNA-seq of hESC (H9) lines exposed to a striatal differentiation protocol

Project description:Use of single-cell transcriptomics to measure how well medium spiny projection neurons, derived from human ESC, recapitulate human striatal development in vivo. This in vitro single-cell dataset was derived after exposing hESC lines (H9) to a novel striatal differentiation protocol and performing single-cell RNA-seq after 15 days and 25 days of differentiation.

Cell Type-Specific Transcriptomics Reveals that Mutant Huntingtin Leads to Mitochondrial RNA Release and Neuronal Innate Immune Activation

Project description:The mechanisms by which mutant Huntingtin leads to neuronal cell death in Huntington’s disease are not fully understood. To gain new molecular insights, we used snRNA-Seq and TRAP to conduct transcriptomic analyses of striatal cell type-specific gene expression changes in human HD and mouse models of HD. In striatal spiny projection neurons we observe a release of mitochondrial RNA and a concomitant upregulation of innate immune signaling in spiny projection neurons. We observe that the released mtRNAs can directly bind to the innate immune sensor PKR. We highlight the importance of studying cell type-specific gene expression dysregulation in HD pathogenesis, and reveal that the activation of innate immune signaling in the most vulnerable HD neurons provides a novel framework to understand the basis of mHTT toxicity and raises new therapeutic opportunities.

FOXP1 orchestration of ASD-relevant signaling pathways.

Project description:Mutations in the gene encoding the transcription factor forkhead box P1 or FOXP1 occur in patients with neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism. However, the function of FOXP1 in the brain remains mostly unknown. Here, we identify the gene expression program regulated by FoxP1 in both human neural cells and mouse brain and demonstrate a conserved role for FOXP1 transcriptional regulation of autism and Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein (FMRP) mediated pathways. Coexpression networks support a role for Foxp1 in neuronal activity, and we show that Foxp1 is necessary for neuronal excitability. Using a Foxp1 mouse model, we observe defects in ultrasonic vocalizations. This behavioral phenotype is reflected at the genomic level as striatal Foxp1-regulated overlap with genes known to be important in rodent vocalizations. These data support an integral role for FOXP1 in regulating signaling pathways vulnerable in developmental disorders and the specific regulation of pathways important for vocal communication. We carried out RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) and ChIP-sequencing of human neural progenitors cells. We carried out RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) of mouse striatal tissue, mouse hippocampal tissue and mouse cortical tissue. For the RNA-seq, four indipendent replicates were used for the neural progenitor cells and mouse tissues. For the Chip-seq, a single neural progenitor cell line was used.
