RNA seq profile of adult newborn neurons

ABSTRACT: The integration of adult-born neurons in the existent neural circuitry is known to be activity-dependent. To decipher the underlying mechanisms, we genetically manipulated excitability of adult-born cells (via cell-specific overexpression of either Kv1.2 or Kir2.1 K+ channels). Longitudinal in vivo Ca2+ imaging and transcriptome analyses revealed that endogenous but not sensory-driven activity governs migration, morphogenesis, survival, and functional integration of adult-born juxtaglomerular neurons in the mouse olfactory bulb. The proper development of these cells required fluctuations of cytosolic Ca2+ levels, phosphorylation of CREB, and pCREB-mediated gene expression. Attenuating Ca2+ fluctuations via K+ channel overexpression strongly downregulated genes involved in neuronal migration, differentiation, and morphogenesis and upregulated the apoptosis-related genes, thus locking adult-born cells in the vulnerable and immature state. Together, the data identify signaling pathways connecting the endogenous intermittent neuronal activity/Ca2+ fluctuations as well as proper Kv1.2/Kir2.1 K+ channel function to migration, maturation, and survival of adult-born neurons.

Spontaneous firing activity in pre-hearing inner hair cells regulates the maturation of the mechanoelectrical transducer apparatus over a critical time-period

Project description:Sensory-independent Ca2+ spiking activity is crucial for the development of mammalian sensory systems. In the cochlea, spontaneous Ca2+ action potentials (APs) are present in the pre-hearing inner hair cells (IHCs), the frequency and pattern of which is modulated by ATP-dependent intercellular Ca2+ waves in the non-sensory cells. It remains unknown whether both these Ca2+-dependent signalling mechanisms in the cochlea are required for the functional maturation of the IHCs. We found that the intrinsic Ca2+ AP activity, but not that triggered by Ca2+ signalling in the non-sensory cells, regulates the maturation and maintenance of the stereociliary hair bundle in IHCs. We used a mouse model in which the potassium channel Kir2.1 is reversibly overexpressed in IHCs in vivo. Kir2.1 overexpression (Kir2.1-OE mice) prevented spontaneous Ca2+ spikes in IHCs, but not their modulation by ATP-induced signalling from non-sensory cells. Without spontaneous Ca2+ APs, mechanoelectrical transduction in IHCs disappeared prior the onset of hearing at P12 due to the progressive loss of stereocilia and their fusion. RNA-sequencing data showed that several pathways, including those involved in morphogenesis, actin-filament based processes, and Rho-GTPase signalling, were upregulated during the second postnatal week. By manipulating the in vivo expression of Kir2.1 channels, we identified the second post-natal week as the “critical point” after which spontaneous Ca2+ APs are required for proper hair bundle maintenance. We showed that the final stage of IHC maturation is finely regulated by their intrinsic electrical activity just before sound-induced sensory driven activity.

let-7 regulates radial migration of newborn neurons through positive regulation of autophagy

Project description:During adult neurogenesis, newly formed olfactory bulb (OB) interneurons migrate radially to integrate into specific layers of the OB. Despite the importance of this process, the intracellular mechanisms that regulate radial migration remain poorly understood. Here we find that microRNA (miRNA) let-7 regulates radial migration by modulating autophagy in new-born neurons. Using Argonaute2-immunoprecipitation, we performed global profiling of miRNAs in adult-born OB neurons and identified let-7 as a highly abundant miRNA family. Knockdown of let-7 in migrating neuroblasts prevented radial migration and led to an immature morphology of newly formed interneurons. This phenotype was accompanied by a decrease in autophagic activity. Overexpression of Beclin-1 or TFEB in new-born neurons lacking let-7 resulted in re-activation of autophagy and restored radial migration. Thus, these results reveal a miRNA-dependent link between autophagy and adult neurogenesis with implications for neurodegenerative diseases where these processes are impaired.

Single cell RNAseq of mouse olfactory bulb reveals cellular heterogeneity and activity dependent molecular census of adult-born neurons

Project description:Cellular heterogeneity within the mammalian brain poses a challenge towards understanding its complex functions. Within the olfactory bulb (OB), odor information is processed by subtypes of inhibitory interneurons whose heterogeneity and functionality is influenced by ongoing adult neurogenesis. To investigate this cellular heterogeneity, and to better understand the developmental programs of adult-born neurons, we utilized single cell RNA sequencing and computational modeling to reveal diverse and transcriptionally distinct neuronal and non-neuronal cell types. We also analyzed molecular changes during adult-born interneuron maturation, and uncovered developmental programs within their gene expression profiles. Finally, we discovered that distinct neuronal subtypes are differentially affected by sensory experience. Together, these data provide a transcriptome-based foundation for investigating subtype-specific neuronal function in the OB, charting the molecular profiles that arise during the maturation and integration of adult-born neurons, and documenting activity-dependent changes in the cellular composition of the olfactory system.

Estrogen receptor-α expressing neurons in the ventrolateral VMH regulate glucose balance

Project description:Background: Brain glucose-sensing neurons detect glucose fluctuations and prevent severe hypoglycemia, but mechanisms mediating functions of these glucose-sensing neurons are unclear. Methods: We combined mouse genetics, electrophysiology, neural tracing, optogenetics and Patch-RNA-seq to demonstrate how glucose-sensing neurons in the ventrolateral VMH regulate glucose balance. Results: Here we report that estrogen receptor-α (ERα)-expressing neurons in the ventrolateral subdivision of the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus (vlVMH) are glucose-sensing neurons to a 5-1-5mM glucose fluctuation, being glucose-inhibited neurons (GI-ERαvlVMH) or glucose-excited neurons (GE-ERαvlVMH). Hypoglycemia activates GI-ERαvlVMH neurons via the anoctamin 4 channel, and inhibits GE-ERαvlVMH neurons through opening the ATP-sensitive potassium channel. Further, we show that GI-ERαvlVMH neurons preferentially project to the medioposterior arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (mpARH) and GE-ERαvlVMH neurons preferentially project to the dorsal Raphe nuclei (DRN). Activation of ERαvlVMH-mpARH circuit and inhibition of ERαvlVMH-DRN circuit both increase blood glucose. Conclusions: Our results indicate that ERαvlVMH neurons detect glucose fluctuations and prevent severe hypoglycemia in mice.

Map of the Kir2.1 interactome using BioID

Project description:Kir2.1, an inward rectifier potassium channel, plays an important role in controlling membrane potential specially in cardiomyocytes. Here we explore its interactome via proximity biotin labeling and affinity purification approach (BioID). First, BioID membrane controls were generated with randomly selected transmembrane domains from yeast proteins, demonstrating the identification of membrane-associated proteins more than GFP or NLS controls. Using this control and a mutation from Andersen-Tawil syndrome which causes Kir2.1 Golgi accumulation, we have identified the most comprehensive Kir2.1 interactome and also found clues to its spatial information in subcellular levels. The interactome is showing that Kir2.1 in plasma membrane is surrounded by desmosome, integrin, cadherin and dystrophin-glycoprotein complex complexes, and supported by MAGUK family scaffold proteins. On the other hand, Kir2.1 mutant BioID revealed the COPII-mediated delivery of Kir2.1 from ER to Golgi and lysosome-mediated degradation of Golgi-accumulated and/or retrograde Kir2.1. Validating the interactome with co-immunoprecipitation, confocal microscope, and patch clamp analysis, we concluded that Kir2.1 is located in the defined membrane environment and is actively regulated by endosomal sorting for lysosome degradation.

Purkinje neurons with loss of STIM1 exhibit age-dependent changes in gene expression and synaptic components

Project description:The Stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) is an ER-Ca2+ sensor and an essential component of ER-Ca2+ store operated Ca2+entry (SOCE). Loss of STIM1 affects metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 1 (mGluR1) mediated synaptic transmission, neuronal Ca2+ homeostasis and intrinsic plasticity in Purkinje Neurons (PNs). Long-term changes of intracellular Ca2+ signaling in PNs lead to neurodegenerative conditions, as evident in individuals with mutations of the ER-Ca2+ channel, the Inositol, 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor (IP3R). Moreover, Changes in gene expression upon reduced SOCE in non-excitable immune cells, the developing mouse brain, Drosophila pupal neurons and human neural precursor cells have been reported. Gene expression profiles of mature differentiated neurons with loss of STIM1/nSOC have not been published to date. The study evaluated the differential gene expression in STIM1 knockout purkinje neurons compared to wild type purkinje neurons from 1 year old mice. Analysis of gene expression profiles demonstrated that STIM1 dependent Ca2+ homeostasis and signaling helps to maintain the expression of multiple key components of synaptic architecture and function in ageing animals. Our findings are significant in the context of finding new therapeutic means of alleviating the neurodegenerative changes associated with human SCAs.

De novo DNA methylation controls neuronal maturation during adult hippocampal neurogenesis [Dnmt_inVitro_RRBS]

Project description:Dynamic DNA methylation controls gene-regulatory networks underlying cell fate specification. How DNA methylation patterns change during adult hippocampal neurogenesis and their relevance for the generation of new neurons from adult neural stem cells has, however, remained unknown. Here, we show that neurogenesis-associated de novo DNA methylation is critical for maturation and functional integration of adult-born hippocampal neurons. Cell stage-specific bisulfite sequencing revealed a pronounced gain of DNA methylation at neuronal enhancers, gene bodies and binding sites of pro-neuronal transcription factors during adult neurogenesis, which mostly correlated with transcriptional up-regulation of the associated loci. Inducible deletion of both de novo DNA methyltransferases Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b in adult neural stem cells specifically impaired dendritic outgrowth and synaptogenesis of new neurons, resulting in impaired hippocampal excitability and specific deficits in hippocampus-dependent learning and memory. Our results highlight that, during adult neurogenesis, remodeling of neuronal methylomes is fundamental for proper hippocampal function.
