Single cell RNA-seq of the developing mouse hypothalamus

ABSTRACT: 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.

Identification of the hypothalamic neuronal populations that derive from Pomc-expressing precursors

Project description:Hypothalamic neuronal populations are central regulators of energy homeostasis and reproductive function. However, the ontogeny of these critical hypothalamic neuronal populations is largely unknown. Here, we reveal novel cellular fates of the hypothalamic Pomc-expressing precursors by combining mouse genetics with a conditional viral ribosome-tagging approach to phenotype neurons. Our results show that the Pomc-expressing precursors differentiate into discrete neuronal subpopulations that mediate not only energy balance (POMC and AgRP) but also reproductive physiology (Kisspeptin). Punches containing the mediobasal hypothalamus of Pomc-Cre:RiboTag mice and Pomc-Cre mice injected with the RiboTag viral vector (AAV-DIO-RiboTag) were homogenized and incubated with anti-hemagglutin (HA) antibodies and protein A/G magnetic beads to isolate the polysome-associated mRNAS in the Pomc-derived lineage and in adult POMC neurons, respectively. To identify differentially expressed transcripts, RNA from the immunoprecipitates was extracted, amplified, labelled and hybridized to MouseRef-8 v2 expression beadchips.

Heterogeneity of hypothalamic Pro-opiomelanocortin-expressing neurons revealed by single-cell RNA sequencing

Project description:Arcuate proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons are critical nodes in the control of body weight. Often characterised simply as direct targets for leptin, recent data suggest a more complex architecture. Using single cell RNA sequencing, we have generated an atlas of gene expression in murine POMC neurons, and compare the gene expression profiles of individual POMC-expressing neurons to assess the degree of heterogenity present in this cell population.

RNAseq of mouse POMC neurons

Project description:From the arcuate nucleus of mice, we have dissociated neurons that express Proopiomelanocortin(POMC) and captured them on the Fluidigm C1 platform. These neuronsplay important roles in the regulation of appetite and sexual behavior. Here we propose tosequence RNA from 96 single POMC-expressing neurons to understand the variance in theirtranscriptomes.This data is part of a pre-publication release.

Developmental single-cell transcriptomics of hypothalamic POMC progenitors reveal the genetic trajectories of multiple neuropeptidergic phenotypes

Project description:The purpose of this study is to characterize the ontogenetic transcriptional programs that specify the identity and functioning of POMC neurons during early postnatal stage and adulthood. We performed Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification followed by RNA sequencing technology (Trap-seq) using Pomc-CreERT;Rosa26-eGFPL10a transgenic mice where POMC neurons are labeled with eGFPL10a tag with tamoxifen administration. GFP-conjugated beads were used to pull-down POMC neurons from hypothalamic extracts at early postnatal days (P12) and adulthood(P60). Both the pull-down mRNA samples and the resultant supernatant mRNA samples were subjected to RNA sequencing process. Gene enrichment analysis identified 1143 and 1047 genes are highly enriched (P<0.05) in Pomc- eGFPL10a at P12 and P60 Trap-seq materials respectively, from which 653 genes are overlapped expressed in both datasets. Gene ontology analysis showed that these common expressed genes are associated with the establishment and maintenance of neuron structure and basic neuronal functions. The ontology annotations on the uniquely expressed gene from P12 and P60 are dramatically different from each other. The functions of P12 uniquely enriched genes emphasizing on the basic cellular metabolism, cellular modeling and biochemical changes, whereas, the P60 enriched genes are related to the maturation of POMC neurons such neurotransmitter development and POMC specific function establishment including the response to nutrient, and the construction of feeding behavioral circuit.

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.

Reciprocal activity of AgRP and POMC neurons governs coordinated control of feeding and metabolism

Project description:Agouti-related peptide (AgRP)- and proopiomelanocortin (POMC)-expressing neurons reciprocally regulate food intake. Here, we combined non-interacting recombinases to simultaneously express functionally opposing chemogenetic receptors in AgRP and POMC neurons allowing to compare metabolic responses in mice with simultaneous activation of AgRP and inhibition of POMC neurons with isolated activation of AgRP neurons or isolated inhibition of POMC neurons. These experiments revealed that food intake is regulated by the additive effect of AgRP-neuron activation and POMC-neuron inhibition, while systemic insulin sensitivity and gluconeogenesis are differentially modulated by isolated versus simultaneous regulation of AgRP and POMC neurons. We identified a neurocircuit engaging Npy1R-expressing neurons in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH), where activated AgRP- and inhibited POMC neurons synergize to promote food consumption and activate neurons in the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS). We then performed single-nuclei RNA sequencing to define the molecular nature of Fos+ cells in the posterior NTS/AP area that respond to simultaneous chemogenetic intervention over AgRP and POMC neurons and identified TH+ neurons as candidates for receiving neuronal inputs initiated by the simultaneous and coordinated interplay between AgRP and POMC neurocircuits and relayed to the NTS area by the silenced glutamatergic Npy1R neurons.

Dopamine-inhibited POMCDrd2+ neurons in the ARC acutely regulate feeding and body temperature

Project description:Dopamine acts on neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARC) which control homeostatic feeding responses. Here we demonstrate a differential enrichment of Drd1 expression in food intake-promoting AgRP/NPY neurons and a large proportion of Drd2-expressing anorexigenic POMC neurons. This translates into a predominant activation of AgRP/NPY neurons upon dopamine stimulation and a larger proportion of dopamine-inhibited POMC neurons. Employing intersectional targeting of Drd2-expressing POMC neurons, we reveal, that dopamine-mediated POMC neuron inhibition is Drd2-dependent and that POMCDrd2+ neurons exhibit differential expression of neuropeptide signaling mediators, which manifests in enhanced somatostatin responsiveness of these neurons compared to the global POMC neuron population. Retrograde pseudorabies mapping reveals predominant synaptic input onto these cells from within the ARC as well as characterized dopaminergic cell groups within the hypothalamus and subthalamic areas. Finally, selective chemogenetic activation of POMCDrd2+ neurons uncovers their ability to acutely suppress feeding and to preserve body temperature. Collectively, the present study provides the molecular and functional characterization of POMCDrd2+ neurons and aids to our understanding of dopamine-dependent control of homeostatic energy regulatory neurocircuits.

Reduced a-MSH underlies hypothalamic endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced hepatic gluconeogenesis

Project description:Alterations in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis have been implicated in the pathophysiology of obesity and type-2 diabetes (T2D). Acute ER stress induction in the hypothalamus produces glucose metabolism perturbations. However, the neurobiological basis linking hypothalamic ER stress with abnormal glucose metabolism remains unknown. Here we report that genetic and induced models of hypothalamic ER stress are associated with alterations in systemic glucose homeostasis due to increased gluconeogenesis (GNG) independent of body weight changes. Defective alpha melanocyte-stimulating hormone (a-MSH) production underlies this metabolic phenotype, as pharmacological strategies aimed at rescuing hypothalamic a-MSH content reversed this phenotype at metabolic and molecular level. Collectively, our results posit defective a-MSH processing as a fundamental mediator of enhanced GNG in the context of hypothalamic ER stress, and establish a-MSH deficiency in proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons as a potential contributor to the pathophysiology of T2D. Total RNA was extracted from whole-liver of 6-week old control (3 biological replicates) and POMCMfn2KO mice (5 biological replicates)

Microglia shape AgRP neuron postnatal development via regulating perineuronal net plasticity

Project description:Microglia, the resident immune cells in the brain, have been shown to significantly influence neurodevelopment. However, their role in shaping the postnatal development of hypothalamic neural circuits remains underexplored. In this study, we investigated the dynamic changes of microglia in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC) during lactation and their impact on the maturation of AgRP and POMC neurons.
