Transcriptomic and epigenetic disruptions in excitatory neurons in Dnmt3a conditional knockout mouse

ABSTRACT: We created a mouse line in which deletion of exon 19 of Dnmt3a is driven by the Neurod6 promoter (also known as Nex-Cre line). In this conditional knockout (cKO), Dnmt3a is functionally ablated in excitatory neurons in the neocortex and hippocampus starting in mid/late gestation (~E13-15). With an affinity purification approach to isolate tagged nuclei in mice (similar to INTACT; [Deal R.B. and Henikoff S. A simple method for gene expression and chromatin profiling of individual cell types within a tissue. Dev. Cell 18,1030-1040. (2010)]), we characterized the genome-wide patterns of transcription, DNA methylation, and histone modifications in excitatory pyramidal neurons of the frontal cortex from the Dnmt3a cKO and control mice. Our data provide a detailed assessment of the molecular basis of the accompanying changes of neurophysiological and behavioral phenotypes in the cKO mice, and suggest a complex interaction between DNA methylation and Polycomb-mediated repression in the epigenetic regulation in developing brain cells.

Epigenomic Signatures of Neuronal Diversity in the Mammalian Brain

Project description:We developed an affinity purification approach to isolate tagged nuclei in mice (similar to INTACT; [Deal R.B. and Henikoff S. A simple method for gene expression and chromatin profiling of individual cell types within a tissue. Dev. Cell 18,1030-1040. (2010)]) and used it to characterize genome-wide patterns of transcription, DNA methylation, and chromatin accessibility in 3 major neuron classes of the neocortex (excitatory pyramidal neurons, parvalbumin (PV)-positive GABAergic interneurons, and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-positive GABAergic interneurons). By combining cell purification and integrative analysis, our findings relate the phenotypic and functional complexity of neocortical neurons to their underlying transcriptional and epigenetic diversity.

mRNA-Seq of mouse Mettl3 cKO and Fto cKO hippocampus after fear conditioning

Project description:N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) and N6,2′-O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am) are abundant mRNA modifications that regulate transcript processing and translation. The role of both, here termed m6A/m, in the stress response in the adult brain in vivo are currently unknown. Here, we investigated the effect of gene deletion of Mettl3, a m6A methyltransferase, and Fto, a m6A and m6Am demethlyase, induced in adulthood in excitatory neurons of the CA1 and CA3 in the hippocampus (Nex-CreERT2 Mettl3 or Fto cKO) on the transcriptome of CA1 and CA3 as well as the transcriptomic response of the CA1 and CA3 transcriptome to fear conditioning.

Gene expression changes in mouse forebrain deficient in Dnmt1 and Dnmt3a

Project description:Two major DNA methylation-catalyzing enzymes, Dnmt1 and Dnmt3a, are expressed in postmitotic neurons, but their function in the adult central nervous system is unclear. We generated conditional mutant mice (CamKIIa Cre; Dnmt loxP) that lack either Dnmt1 or Dnmt3a, or both, exclusively in forebrain excitatory neurons and found only double-knockout (DKO) mice exhibited abnormal hippocampal CA1 long-term plasticity and deficits of learning and memory. DKO neurons also exhibit a significant up-regulation of immune genes, such as class I MHC and Stat1, which are implicated in synaptic plasticity. Four pairs of 2-3 month-old DKO and litter mate control were used. RNA samples were extracted from the cortex and hippocampus for gene expression array analysis.

Studying the genetic heterogeneity in mouse dopamine neurons

Project description:Midbrain dopamine neurons project to numerous targets throughout the brain to modulate various behaviors and brain states. Within this small population of neurons exists significant heterogeneity based on physiology, circuitry, and disease susceptibility. Recent studies have shown that dopamine neurons can be subdivided based on gene expression; however, the extent to which genetic markers represent functionally relevant dopaminergic subpopulations has not been fully explored. Here we performed single-cell RNA-sequencing of mouse dopamine neurons and validated studies showing that Neurod6 and Grp are selective markers for dopaminergic subpopulations. Using a combination of multiplex fluorescent in situ hybridization, retrograde labeling, and electrophysiology in mice of both sexes, we defined the anatomy, projection targets, physiological properties, and disease vulnerability of dopamine neurons based on Grp and/or Neurod6 expression. We found that the combinatorial expression of Grp and Neurod6 defines dopaminergic subpopulations with unique features. Grp/Neurod6 dopamine neurons reside in the ventromedial VTA, send projections to the medial shell of the nucleus accumbens, and have noncanonical physiological properties. Grp/Neurod6- DA neurons are found in the VTA as well as in the ventromedial portion of the SNc, where they project selectively to the dorsomedial striatum. Grp-/Neurod6 DA neurons represent a smaller VTA subpopulation, which is preferentially spared in a 6-OHDA model of Parkinson’s disease. Together, our work provides detailed characterization of Neurod6 and Grp expression in the midbrain and generates new insights into how these markers define functionally relevant dopaminergic subpopulations with distinct projection patterns, physiology, and disease vulnerability.

Phosphoproteomic analysis of Ank2-mutant mice

Project description:Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) represent neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by social deficits, repetitive behaviors, and various comorbidities, including epilepsy. ANK2, which encodes a neuronal scaffolding protein, is frequently mutated in ASD, but its in vivo functions and disease-related mechanisms are largely unknown. Here, we report that mice with Ank2 knockout restricted to cortical and hippocampal excitatory neurons (Ank2-cKO mice) show ASD-related behavioral abnormalities and juvenile seizure-related death. Ank2-cKO cortical neurons show abnormally increased excitability and firing rate. These changes accompanied decreases in the total level and function of the Kv7.2/KCNQ2 and Kv7.3/KCNQ3 potassium channels and the density of these channels in the enlengthened axon initial segment. Importantly, the Kv7 agonist, retigabine, rescued neuronal excitability, juvenile seizure-related death, and hyperactivity in Ank2-cKO mice. These results suggest that Ank2 regulates neuronal excitability by regulating the length of and Kv7 density in the AIS and that Kv7 channelopathy is involved in Ank2-related brain dysfunctions.

YAP/TAZ drives ependymoma-like tumour formation in mice

Project description:YAP1 gene fusions have been observed in a subset of paediatric ependymomas. Here we show that, ectopic expression of active nuclear YAP1 (nlsYAP5SA) in ventricular zone neural progenitor cells using conditionally-induced NEX/NeuroD6-Cre is sufficient to drive brain tumour formation in mice. Neuronal differentiation is inhibited in the hippocampus. Deletion of YAP1’s negative regulators LATS1 and LATS2 kinases in NEX-Cre lineage in double conditional knockout mice also generates similar tumours, which are rescued by deletion of YAP1 and its paralog TAZ. YAP1/TAZ-induced mouse tumours display molecular and ultrastructural characteristics of human ependymoma. RNA sequencing and quantitative proteomics of mouse tumours demonstrate similarities to YAP1-fusion induced supratentorial ependymoma. Finally, we find that transcriptional cofactor HOPX is upregulated in mouse models and in human YAP1-fusion induced ependymoma, supporting their similarity. Our results show that uncontrolled YAP1/TAZ activity in neuronal precursor cells leads to ependymoma-like tumours in mice.

Cell type-specific oxidative stress genomic signatures in the globus pallidus of dopamine depleted mice

Project description:We developed a new viral affinity purification strategy, Cre-Specific Nuclear Anchored Independent Labeling (cSNAIL), to isolate Cre recombinase-expressing (Cre+) nuclei from the adult mouse brain. cSNAIL is an AAV that delivers a modified version of the nuclear-anchored protein tag developed for INTACT nuclei isolation (Deal & Henikoff, Dev Cell. 2010. 18:1030-1040; Mo et al., Neuron. 2015. 86(6):1369-1384). Applying cSNAIL technology in Pvalb-2A-Cre mice, we performed targeted assessment of the cell type-specific transcriptomic and epigenetic effects of dopamine depletion on parvalbumin-expressing (PV+) neurons and PV- nuclei. We recovered signatures of oxidative stress response involving Hif2a signaling that was specific to external globus pallidus (GPe) PV+ neurons, a consequence of dopamine depletion that may have theraputic implications for Parkinson's disease.
