Neuropeptides modulate local astrocytes to regulate adult hippocampal neural stem cells and neurogenesis

ABSTRACT: It has been well established that parvulbumin (PV) interneurons in the adult dentate gyrus (DG) regulate radial-glia like neural stem cells (rNSCs) through tonic GABA signaling. However, several major local interneuron subtypes co-release GABA and neuropeptides. Virtually nothing is known about whether and how endogenous neuropeptides regulate rNSCs. Here we demonstrate an unprecedented role of endogenous CCK in regulating rNSCs and hippocampal neurogenesis through distinctive states of the local astrocytes. Specifically, stimulating CCK release leads to increased Ca2+ transients in local astrocytes, and the subsequent astrocytic glutamate release promotes rNSC proliferation and neurogenesis via glutamate receptor mediated MAPK/ERK signaling cascade. In contrast, suppression of CCK synthesis switches resident astrocytes to a reactive state, which leads to decreased proliferation of rNSCs by regulating a gene network that negatively regulates rNSC proliferation. These findings have broad implications in multiple neuropathological conditions associated with altered CCK level, neuroinflammation, and impaired hippocampal neurogenesis.

Excitatory amino acid transporter 1 supports adult hippocampal neural stem cell self-renewal.

Project description:Within the adult mammalian dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus, glutamate stimulates neural stem cell (NSC) self-renewing proliferation, providing a link between adult neurogenesis and local circuit activity. Here, we show that glutamate-induced self-renewal of adult DG NSCs requires glutamate transport via excitatory amino acid transporter 1 (EAAT1) to stimulate lipogenesis. Loss of EAAT1 prevented glutamate-induced self-renewing proliferation of NSCs in vitro and in vivo, with little role evident for canonical glutamate receptors. Transcriptomics and further pathway manipulation revealed that glutamate simulation of NSCs relied on EAAT1 transport-stimulated lipogenesis, likely secondary to intracellular Ca2+ release and glutamate metabolism. Our findings demonstrate a critical, direct role for EAAT1 in stimulating NSCs to support neurogenesis in adulthood, thereby providing insights into a non-canonical mechanism by which NSCs sense and respond their niche.

Dual and separable roles for Ezh2 in neurogenic astroglia

Project description:The epigenetic mechanisms that enable specialized astrocytes to retain neurogenic competence throughout adult life are still poorly understood. Here we show that astrocytes that serve as neural stem cells (NSCs) in the adult mouse subventricular zone (SVZ) express the histone methyltransferase EZH2. This Polycomb repressive factor is required for neurogenesis independent of its role in SVZ NSC proliferation, as Ink4a/Arf-deficiency in Ezh2-deleted SVZ NSCs rescues cell proliferation, but neurogenesis remains defective. Olig2 is a direct target of EZH2, and repression of this bHLH transcription factor is critical for neuronal differentiation. Furthermore, Ezh2 prevents the inappropriate activation of genes that specify non-SVZ neuronal subtypes. In the human brain, SVZ cells including local astroglia also express EZH2, correlating with postnatal neurogenesis. Thus, EZH2 is an epigenetic regulator that distinguishes neurogenic SVZ astrocytes, orchestrating distinct and separable aspects of adult stem cell biology, which has important implications for regenerative medicine and oncogenesis.

Astrogenesis in the murine dentate gyrus – a life-long and plastic process mediated by proliferation of neural stem cells and local astrocytes

Project description:Astrocytes are highly abundant cells in the mammalian brain and their numerous functions are of vital importance for all aspects of development, adaption and aging of the central nervous system (CNS). Mounting evidence indicates the astrocytes’s cardinal contribution to a wide range of neuropathies, still, our understanding of astrocyte development significantly lags behind those of other CNS cells. Using the dentate gyrus (DG) as a model system, we here combine genetic fate-mapping, behavioral paradigms, single cell transcriptomics and in vivo two-photon imaging, to assess the generation and proliferation of astrocytes across the lifespan of a mouse in great detail. Astrogenesis in the DG is initiated by perinatal radial glia-like neural stem cells (rNSCs) giving rise to locally dividing astrocytes that enlarge the astrocyte compartment in an outside-in-pattern. This process occurs simultaneously to neurogenesis and likewise continues life-long. In the adult DG, rNSCs occasionally give rise to newborn astrocytes, but the vast majority of astrogenesis is mediated through proliferation of local astrocytes. Interestingly, locally dividing astrocytes revealed an unexpected plasticity and were able to adapt their proliferation to environmental and behavioural stimuli. Our study thus establishes astrocytes as enduring plastic elements in DG circuits, implicating a vital contribution of astrocyte dynamic to hippocampal plasticity.

EB-mediated NPY expression and release.

Project description:Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is an endogenous modulator of neuronal activity by regulating GABA and glutamate release. Previously, we found that estradiol modulates NPY expression in the hippocampal dentate gyrus. Here we investigated which estrogen receptor type activation is required for the NPY expression. Further, we determined effects of estrogen receptor activation on NPY release. Finally, we determined the contribution of estrogen-mediated remodeling of the GABAergic and glutamatergic network in relation to changes in coupling with NPY in ovariectomized rats. We found that activation of either estrogen receptor type increases NPY expression as well as NPY release in the dentate gyrus. We also found that compared to OVX rats, estrogen replacement increases the likeness of synergistic/antagonistic coupling between the NPY and GABAergic synapse genes while the glutamatergic synapse genes are less likely coupled with NPY. The data together suggest that estrogen plays a critical role in regulation of activity of the NPY system and its coupling to GABAergic and glutamatergic synapses in female rat dentate gyrus.

Integrative Characterization of the R6/2 Mouse Brain Model of Huntington Disease Reveals Dysfunctional Neurotransmitter Metabolism

Project description:Huntington disease (HD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease, where dysfunction and loss of striatal and cortical neurons are central to the pathogenesis of the disease. Here, we integrated quantitative studies to investigate the underlying mechanisms behind HD pathology in a systems-wide manner. To this end, we used state-of-the-art mass spectrometry (MS) to establish a spatial brain proteome from late-stage R6/2 mice and compared this to wild-type (WT) counterparts. From the quantitative analysis, we observed altered expression of proteins in pathways related to energy metabolism, synapse function, and neurotransmitter homeostasis. To support these findings, metabolic 13C labelling studies confirmed a compromised astrocytic regulation of glutamate-GABA-glutamine cycling resulting in impaired release of glutamine and GABA synthesis. In recent years increasing attention has been focused on the role of astrocytes in HD, and our data supports that therapeutic strategies to improve astrocytic glutamine metabolism may help ameliorate symptoms in HD.

Microglia actively remodels adult hippocampal neurogenesis through the phagocytosis secretome

Project description:During adult hippocampal neurogenesis, the majority of newborn cells undergo apoptosis and are rapidly phagocytosed by resident microglia in order to avoid disturbing the surrounding neurons. Here, we propose that phagocytosis is not merely a passive process of corpse removal but has an active role in maintaining adult hippocampal neurogenesis. First, we found that neurogenesis was disrupted in three defective microglial phagocytosis KO models in vivo (P2Y12, MerTK/Axl , GPR34). We then followed an in vitro approach to perform a transcriptomic analysis of microglial phagocytosis and identified genes involved in metabolism, chromatin remodeling, and neurogenesis-related functions. Finally, we determined that the phagocytic microglia secretome limits the production of new neurons both in vivo and in vitro. Our data suggest that reprogrammed phagocytic microglia acts as a sensor of local cell death, modulating the balance between cell proliferation and cell survival in the neurogenic niche, supporting the long-term maintenance of adult hippocampal neurogenesis.

Activity-dependent neuronal Klotho enhances astrocytic aerobic glycolysis

Project description:Mutations of the β-glucuronidase protein α-Klotho have been associated with premature aging, and altered cognitive function. Although highly expressed in specific areas of the brain, Klotho functions in the central nervous system remain unknow. Here, we show that cultured hippocampal neurons respond to insulin and glutamate stimulation by elevating Klotho protein levels. Conversely, AMPA and NMDA antagonism suppress neuronal Klotho expression. We also provide evidence that soluble Klotho enhances astrocytic aerobic glycolysis by hindering pyruvate metabolism through the mitochondria, and stimulating its processing by lactate dehydrogenase. Pharmacological inhibition of FGFR1, Erk phosphorylation, and monocarboxylic acid transporters prevents Klotho-induced lactate release from astrocytes. Taken together these data suggest Klotho is a potential new player in the metabolic coupling between neurons and astrocytes. Neuronal glutamatergic activity and insulin modulation elicit Klotho release, which in turn stimulates astrocytic lactate formation and release. Lactate can then be used by neurons as a metabolic substrate contributing to fulfill their elevated energy requirements.
