Sequencing to determine the effect of neuronal IL-1b receptor knockout on the stress effect of paired fighting social defeat in mice

ABSTRACT: Chronic stress contributes to the development of psychiatric disorders including anxiety and depression. Several inflammatory-related effects of stress are associated with increased interleukin-1 (IL-1) signaling within the central nervous system and are mediated by IL-1 receptor 1 (IL-1R1) on several distinct cell types. Neuronal IL-1R1 is prominently expressed on the neurons of the dentate gyrus, but its role in mediating behavioral responses to stress is unknown. We hypothesize that IL-1 acts on this subset of hippocampal neurons to influence cognitive and mood alterations with stress. Here, mice subjected to psychosocial stress showed reduced social interaction and impaired working memory, and these deficits were prevented by global IL-1R1 knockout. Selective deletion of IL-1R1 in glutamatergic neurons (nIL-1R1-/-), abundant in the hippocampus wherein the inflammatory-influenced effects were observed, abrogated the stress-induced deficits in social interaction and working memory. RNA-sequencing of microdissected hippocampi revealed that stress increased several canonical pathways (TREM1, NF-κ, complement, IL-6 signaling) and upstream regulators (INFγ, IL-1β, NF-κB, MYD88) associated with inflammation. The inductions of TREM1 signaling, complement, and leukocyte extravasation with stress were reversed by nIL-1R1-/-. Collectively, we show that stress-dependent IL-1R1 signaling in hippocampal neurons represents a novel mechanism by which inflammation is perpetuated and social interactivity and working memory are modulated.

Project description:Background:Episodic memory loss is a prominent clinical manifestation of Alzheimer's disease(AD), which is closely related to tau pathology and hippocampal impairment. Given the heterogeneity of brain neurons, the precise role of different brain neurons in terms of their sensitivity to tau accumulation and contribution to AD-like social memory loss remains unclear and requires further investigation. Methods: We investigated the effects of AD-like tau pathology by Tandem mass tag proteomic and phosphoproteomic experiments, social behavioral test, hippocampal electrophysiology, immunofluorescent staining and in vivo optical fiber recording of GCaMP6f and iGABASnFR. Additionally, we utilized optogenetics and administered ursolic acid (UA) via oral gavage to examine their effects on social memory in mice. Results: By proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses, we identified the characteristics of ventral hippocampal CA1 (vCA1) under both physiological conditions and AD-like tau pathology. As tau progressively accumulated, not dorsal CA1 (dCA1), but vCA1, especially its excitatory and PV neurons, were fully filled with mislocated and phosphorylated tau. Overexpression of human Tau (hTau) in excitatory and PV neurons respectively mimicked AD-like tau accumulation, significantly inhibited the neuronal excitability and suppressed distinct discrimination-associated firings of these neurons within vCA1. Photoactivating excitatory and PV neurons in vCA1 at specific rhythm and time-window efficiently ameliorated tau-impaired social memory. Significantly, one-month administration of UA efficiently decreased tau accumulation via autophagy in a TFEB (transcription factor EB)-dependent manner and recovered vCA1 microcircuit to ameliorate tau-impaired social memory.Conclusion: This study elucidated distinct protein and phosphoprotein networks between dCA1 and vCA1, and highlighted the susceptibility of the vCA1 microcircuit to AD-like tau accumulation. Notably, our novel findings regarding the efficacy of UA in reducing tau load and targeting the vCA1 microcircuit may provide a promising strategy for AD treatment in the future.
