Single cell transcriptome analysis of developing arcuate nucleus neurons uncovers their key developmental regulators

ABSTRACT: This report contains a scRNA-seq analysis of E15 hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC), which uncovers many cell type-specific markers, including a group of transcription factors. This study newly demonstrate critical roles of two of these transcription factors in specifying the identity of ARC neurons. Many of these transcription factors are enriched in specific single cell transcriptomes while being excluded from other single cell transcriptomes, suggesting their crucial roles in cell fate determination.

Chromatin accessibility in mouse hypothalamic arcuate nucleus in puberty onset

Project description:To better understand the epigenetic mechanism underlying pubertal onset, the hypothalamic genome-wide chromatin accessibility patterns in mouse arcuate nucleus at early and late pubertal stages were explored. Female mice have been widely used in multiple studies on pubertal development as they present the similar molecular behaviors in HPG axis and stable cycles of menstrual calendar like human. Hypothalamic ARC underwent a huge epigenetic and genetic reprogramming to adapt to the response and feedback on sexual hormones during the stages of early pubertal (2-5-week of age) and late puberty (5-8-week of age) . We harvested 4- and 8-week hypothalamic ARC and employed ATAC-seq on a genome-wide scale. Combined with previous RRBS, RRHP and RNA-seq, the connections between DNA (hydroxyl)methylation in retroelements and gene expression were studied, emphasizing the importance of epigenetic alterations in regulating transcription in puberty onset.

Transcriptome and DNA (hydro)methylation in mouse hypothalamic arcuate nucleus in puberty onset

Project description:To better understand the epigenetic mechanism underlying pubertal onset, the hypothalamic genome-wide DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation patterns as well as the transcription profiles in mouse arcuate nucleus at early and late pubertal stages were explored. Female mice have been widely used in multiple studies on pubertal development as they present the similar molecular behaviors in HPG axis and stable cycles of menstrual calendar like human. Hypothalamic ARC underwent a huge epigenetic and genetic reprogramming to adapt to the response and feedback on sexual hormones during the stages of early pubertal (2-5-week of age) and late puberty (5-8-week of age) . We harvested 4- and 8-week hypothalamic ARC and employed RNA-seq, reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) and hydroxymethylation profiling (RRHP) on a genome-wide scale. We identified a large number of differential expressed genes (DEGs) and differential 5(h)mC signals across the whole genome. We discovered novel connections between DNA (hydroxyl)methylated modification and gene expression, emphasizing the importance of epigenetic alterations in regulating transcription in puberty onset.

The transcriptomics of SLC18A3 positive cells from arcuate nucleus of rats in different pubertal development stages.

Project description:Based on our spatial transcriptomics sequencing data, we observed solute carrier family 18 member A3 (SLC18A3) was specificially expressed in kisspeptin-expressed neurons in arcuate nucleus (ARC). SLC18A3 as a surface marker was used to examine the isolation of living kisspeptin-expressed neurons by flow cytometric (FACS) assay. Fresh isolated ARC nucleus tissues from female Sprague-Dawley rats in postnatal day (PND)-25, 35 and 45 (n=10 each group) were harvested, and processed single-cell suspension for FACS assay by SLC18A3. Here, we obtained two populations according to the cell size by FSC/SSC signals, and further harvested a small proportion of Slc18a3+ cells from hypothalamus of PND-25, 35 and 45. Smart-seq was conducted to detect the transcriptome of four population namely large Slc18a3+/- cells as well as small Slc18a3+/- cells.

Transcript Profiling of Arcuate Nucleus in Response to Electroacupuncture on Rats

Project description:The electroacupuncture-induced analgesic effect has been used widely to alleviate diverse pains. However, significant individual variations in analgesic effect of EA for both experiments and clinics were reported. According to the sensitivity of the analgesic response to EA stimulation, the subjects could be categorized into high responders (HR) and non responders (NR). However, the molecular mechanism of individual variability in the analgesic response to acupuncture stimulation is still uncertain. This study aims to investigate the potential gene expression in arcuate nucleus induced by 2Hz/100Hz electroacupuncture in HR and NR rats. Rats were given 2Hz or 100Hz electroacupuncture for 30 min and using cDNA microarrays to compare different gene expression in arcuate nucleus. Rats were exposed to different frequencies (2Hz or 100Hz) electroacupuncture stimulation for 30 min and nociceptive testing and returned to home cages for 1 hour before sacrificed. According to the sensitivity of the analgesic response to 2Hz or 100Hz EA stimulation, the rats divided into four groups: 2Hz-HR group, 2Hz-NR group, 100Hz-HR group and 100Hz-NR group. Subsequently analyzed their dorsal horn transcript profile using cDNA microarrays, the rats were without receiving electroacupuncture as control. The tissue of arcuate nucleus (Arc) of three rats was selected for transcript analysis in each group. The three control rats were mixed and labeled with cy5, each rat of experiment groups was labeled with cy3.

Epigenetic regulation of beta-endorphin synthesis in hypothalamic arcuate nucleus neurons modulates neuropathic pain in a rodent pain model

Project description:Beta-endorphinergic neurons in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC) synthesize beta-endorphin (β-EP) to alleviate nociceptive behaviors, although the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain unknown. Here, we elucidated a novel epigenetic pathway driven by microRNA regulation of beta-endorphin synthesis in ARC neurons to control neuropathic pain. In pain-injured rats miR-203a-3p was the most highly upregulated miRNA in the ARC. A similar increase was identified in the cerebrospinal fluid of trigeminal neuralgia patients. Mechanistically, histone deacetylase 9 downregulation increased acetylation of histone H3 lysine-18, facilitating the binding of NR4A2 transcription factor to the miR-203a-3p gene promoter increasing miR-203a-3p expression following nerve injury. Further, increased miR-203a-3p was found to maintain neuropathic pain by targeting proprotein convertase 1, an endopeptidase necessary for the cleavage of proopiomelanocortin, the precursor of β-EP. Our findings highlight an epigenetic regulatory pathway for β-EP synthesis that contributes to neuropathic pain development and maintenance mechanisms providing for new therapeutic targets for neuropathic pain treatment.

Single cell RNA-seq of the developing mouse hypothalamus

Project description:Neurons in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC) are fundamental regulators of energy homeostasis, growth and reproduction. Spatially overlapping subpopulations of ARC neurons produce specific neuropeptides including melanocortins, opioids, neuropeptide Y, growth hormone releasing hormone and kisspeptin. However, the developmental pathways controlling ARC neuron specification, differentiation and maturation remain poorly understood relative to more structurally ordered brain regions. Here, we analyzed the transcriptomes of individual mouse ARC neurons sorted for expression of a Proopiomelanocortin-Td-dsRed transgene at four embryonic (E11.5, E13.5, E15.5 and E17.5) and two postnatal (P5 and P12) ages. There was an unanticipated complexity of neurochemical subpopulations in the developing ARC characterized by low, medium or high levels of Pomc transcripts and distinct temporal patterns of transcription factor expression. Moreover, sizeable fractions of Pomc-positive neural progenitors differentiated into non-POMC neurons by P12. We conclude that ARC neuronal development is highly dynamic with plasticity that may be susceptible to environmental programming.

Olfactory and neuropeptide inputs to appetite neurons in the arcuate nucleus

Project description:We report RNA sequencing of single Agrp neurons isolated from the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus. Analyses of Agrp neuron transcriptomes reveals differential expression of receptors for multiple neuromodulators. Neuroanatomical mapping of known ligands of the receptors define subsets of neurons directly upstream of AgRP neurons in specific brain areas.
