Molecular and anatomical organization of the dorsal raphe nucleus

ABSTRACT: The dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) is an important source of neuromodulators and has been implicated in a wide variety of behavioral and neurological disorders. The DRN is subdivided into distinct anatomical subregions comprised of multiple cell types, and its complex cellular organization has impeded efforts to investigate the distinct circuit and behavioral functions of its subdomains. Here we used single-cell RNA sequencing, in situ hybridization, anatomical tracing, and spatial correlation analysis to map the transcriptional and spatial profiles of cells from the mouse DRN. Our analysis of 39,411 single-cell transcriptomes revealed at least 18 distinct neuron subtypes and 5 serotonergic neuron subtypes with distinct molecular and anatomical properties, including a serotonergic neuron subtype that preferentially innervates the basal ganglia. Our study lays out the molecular organization of distinct serotonergic and non-serotonergic subsystems, and will facilitate the design of strategies for further dissection the DRN and its diverse functions.

The divergent nodes of non-autonomous UPRER signaling through serotonergic and dopaminergic neurons

Project description:Performed RNA-seq analysis of animals with xbp-1s overexpression (ER stress response transcription factor) in specific neuron types: pan-neuronal, serotonergic neuron, dopaminergic neuron, and both serotonergic and dopaminergic neurons, all compared to a wild-type control. RNA-seq was performed on purified RNA extracted from ~1000 whole worms using a proprietary Genewiz protocol described briefly in the manuscript. 3 biological replicates are provided for each sample.

WAPL functions as a rheostat of Protocadherin isoform diversity that controls neural wiring

Project description:Neural-type specific expression of clustered Protocadherin (Pcdh) proteins is essential for the establishment of connectivity patterns during brain development. In mammals, deterministic expression of the same Pcdh isoform promotes minimal overlap of tiled projections of serotonergic neuron axons throughout the brain, while stochastic expression of Pcdh genes allows for convergence of tightly packed overlapping olfactory sensory neuron axons into targeted structures. How can the same gene locus generate opposite transcriptional programs that orchestrate distinct spatial arrangements of axonal patterns? Here, we reveal that cell-type specific Pcdh expression and axonal behavior rest on the activity of cohesin and its unloader WAPL. While cohesin erases genomic-distance biases in Pcdh choice, WAPL functions as a rheostat of cohesin processivity that determines Pcdh isoform diversity.

Dopamine and GPCR-mediated modulation of DN1 clock neurons gates the circadian timing of sleep

Project description:The metronome-like circadian regulation of sleep timing must still adapt to an uncertain environment. Recent studies in Drosophila indicate that neuromodulation not only plays a key role in clock neuron synchronization but also affects interactions between the clock network and brain sleep centers. We show here that the targets of neuromodulators, G-Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs), are highly enriched in the fly brain circadian clock network. Single cell sequencing indicates that they are not only enriched, but they are also differentially expressed and contribute to clock neuron identity. We generated a comprehensive guide library to mutagenize individual GPCRs in specific neurons and verified the strategy by introducing a targeted sequencing approach. Combined with a behavioral screen, the mutagenesis strategy revealed a novel role of dopamine in sleep regulation by identifying two dopamine receptors and a clock neuron subpopulation that gate the timing of sleep.

Continuous and discrete neuron types of the adult murine striatum

Project description:The mammalian striatum is involved in many complex behaviors and yet is largely composed of a single neuron class: the spiny projection neuron (SPN). It is unclear to what extent the functional specialization of the striatum is due to the molecular specialization of SPN subtypes. We sought to define the molecular and anatomical diversity of adult SPNs using single-cell RNA-seq and quantitative RNA in situ hybridization (ISH). We computationally distinguished discrete versus continuous heterogeneity in scRNA-seq data and found that SPNs in the striatum can be classified into four major discrete types with no implied spatial relationship between them. Within these discrete types, we find continuous heterogeneity encoding spatial gradients of gene expression and defining anatomical location in a combinatorial mechanism. Our results suggest that neuronal circuitry has a substructure at far higher resolution than is typically interrogated which is defined by the precise identity and location of a neuron.

Effect of depletion of atp-2 by RNA interference on gene expression during the development of Caenorhabditis elegans

Project description:Disruption of physiological homeostasis elicits cellular stress response and behavioral changes of the animal. We recently showed that mitochondrial stress induces aversive associative memory for food bacteria that C. elegans inherently prefers without stress. Depletion of atp-2 by RNA interference in the non-neural tissues causes mitochondrial disruption and induces bacterial avoidance in C. elegans. Our transcriptome provide several metabolic pathways that may are critical for aversive memory. Among these pathwaies, we found that peroxisomal β-oxidation mediates serotonergic neuron,NSM, to promote stress-induced aversive memory.

Transcription profiling of mouse E12.5 ePet-EYFP rostral and caudal serotonin (5HT) neurons purified by flow cytometry

Project description:The 5HT system is organized into rostral and caudal populations with discrete anatomical locations and opposite axonal trajectories in the developing hindbrain. 5HT neuron cell bodies in the rostral subdivision migrate to the midbrain and pons and extend ascending projections throughout the forebrain. 5HT cell bodies in the caudal subdivision migrate to the ventral medulla and caudal half of the pons and provide descending projections to the brainstem and spinal cord. Experiment Overall Design: We used microarrays to determine genes expressed by both rostral and caudal 5HT neurons as well as genes that are differentially expressed between rostral and caudal 5HT neurons at E12.5 when axon pathfinding and cell migration are underway. E12.5 neural tubes were isolated from ePet-EYFP embryos and dissected into a rostral domain (mesecephalic flexure to pontine flexure) and a caudal domain (pontine flexure to spinal cord). After cell dissociation (details under growth protocol), cells were subjected to fluorescent activated cell sorting (FACS) to obtain 4 cell populations. R+ = rostral ePetEYFP positive 5HT neurons; R- = YFP negative non-serotonergic cells in the rostral neural tube; C+ = caudal ePetEYFP positive 5HT neurons; C- = YFP negative non-serotonergic cells in the caudal neural tube. 200,000 cells for each of the 4 cell types (R+, R-, C+, C-) were collected for RNA extraction and hybridization to Affymetrix Mouse 430 2.0 arrays.

Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neuron translatome signatures underlying obesogenic gestational malprogramming

Project description:Maternal unbalanced nutritional habits during embryo development and perinatal stages perturb hypothalamic neuronal programming of the offspring, thus increasing “diabesity” risk. Here we report that exposure to high-fat diet during gestation and lactation did not interfere with progeny’s hypothalamic POMC neuron specification, but significantly impaired their spatial distribution and axonal extension to target areas. Importantly, we established POMC neuron-specific translatome signatures accounting for neuronal aberrant development and axonal growth. These anatomical and molecular alterations caused metabolic dysfunction in early-life and adulthood. Our study provides fundamental insights on the molecular mechanisms underlying POMC neuron malprogramming in obesogenic contexts.
