Virally Encoded Connectivity Transgenic Overlay RNA sequencing (VECTORseq) defines projection neurons involved in sensorimotor integration

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Establish a high-throughput method to transcriptionally define projection neurons, VECTORseq, that reimagines transgenes expressed by widely used retrogradely infecting viruses as multiplexed RNA barcodes that are detected in single-cell sequencing. Methods: mRNA profiles of adult mouse brains Conclusions: Retrograde viruses express mRNA at levels detectable in single-cell sequencing. Different transgenes can be multiplexed in a single sequencing run. VECTORseq identifies both cortical and subcortical projection neurons. VECTORseq defined new superior colliculus and zona incerta projection populations. Established a high-throughput method to transcriptionally define projection neurons, VECTORseq, that reimagines transgenes expressed by widely used retrogradely infecting viruses as multiplexed RNA barcodes that are detected in single-cell sequencing.

Single-cell atlas of thalamic projection systems

Project description:We collected single-cell RNAseq data from neurons of five thalamocortical projection systems (motor, somatosensory, visual, auditory, and prefrontal). Cells of each projection system were retrogradely labeled from their cortical target area, microdissected, and collected individually. By combining single-cell transcriptomics with in situ RNA hybridization, we found heterogeneity not only between thalamic nuclei but also within nuclei, with graded transitions between cell identities.

High-throughput mapping of single-neuron projection and molecular features by retrograde barcoded labelling [bulk RNA-seq]

Project description:Deciphering patterns of connectivity between neurons in the mammalian brain is a critical step toward understanding brain function. Conventional imaging based neuroanatomical tracing methods identify area-to-area or sparse neuron-to-neuron connectivity patterns, but with extremely limited throughput. Recently developed barcode-based connectomics methods can efficiently map large numbers of single-neuron projections, but linking these data to single-cell transcriptomics remains a challenge. Here, we established a retro-AAV barcode-based multiplexed tracing method called MERGE-seq (Multiplexed projection neuRons retroGrade barcodE sequencing), which is capable of simultaneously characterizing the projectome and transcriptome at the single neuron level. We uncovered dedicated and collateral projection patterns of ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) neurons to five downstream targets (AI, DMS, BLA, MD and LH). We found that projection-defined vmPFC neurons are molecularly heterogeneous, which are composed of different neuronal subtypes. We further identified transcriptional signatures of various dedicated and bifurcated vmPFC neurons, and verified Pou3f1 as the marker gene of neurons sending collateral axons to DMS and LH. Finally, we fitted our single-neuron connectome/transcriptome data into a machine learning-based model and revealed groups of genes that were predictive of certain projection pattern. In summary, we have developed a new multiplexed technique whose paired connectome and gene expression data can help reveal organizational principles that form neural circuits and process information.

Effect of phox2a knockout on the molecular profiles of hindbrain vestibular neurons in the larval zebrafish (bulk RNA-Seq)

Project description:Sensorimotor reflex circuits engage distinct neuronal subtypes, defined by precise connectivity, to transform sensation into compensatory behavior. Whether and how motor partner populations shape the subtype fate and connectivity of their pre-motor counterparts remains controversial. Here, we discovered that motor partners are dispensable for proper connectivity across an entire vestibular reflex circuit that stabilizes gaze. We first measured activity following vestibular sensation in pre-motor projection neurons after constitutive loss of their extraocular motor neuron partners.We observed normal responses and topography consistent with unchanged functional connectivity between sensory neurons and projection neurons. Next, we show that projection neurons remain anatomically and molecularly poised to connect appropriately with their motor partners. Lastly, we show that the transcriptional signatures of projection neuron subtypes develop independently of motor partners. Our findings comprehensively overturn a long-standing model: that connectivity in the circuit for gaze stabilization is retrogradely determined by motor partner-derived signals. By defining the contribution of motor neurons to canonical sensorimotor circuit assembly, our work speaks to comparable processes in spinal circuits and advances our understanding of general principles of neural development.

Identification of molecular controls of Corticothalamic projection neurons differentiatiion

Project description:Molecular mechanisms controlling specification and differentiation of distinct neuron subtypes in the cerebral cortex are not well understood. Corticothalamic projection neurons (CThPN) are a diverse set of neurons, critical for function of the neocortex, but little is known about the molecular mechansims controlling their development. We used microarrays to detail CThPN gene expression at 3 developmental time points. We then compared CThPN gene expression, with the gene expression of other neuron subtypes in the cerebral cortex at the same stages (previously described in Arlotta et a., 2005) CThPN were retrogradely label with fluorescent microespheres injected into the thalamus, and were FACS purified at 3 developmental stages for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

A molecular architecture of the vagal interoceptive system

Project description:Interoception, the ability to timely and precisely sense changes inside the body, is critical for survival. Vagal sensory neurons (VSNs) form an important body-to-brain axis, navigating along body’s rostral-caudal axis to their target organs and dive across organ’s surface-lumen axis into appropriate tissue layers to sense stimuli with various physical properties. The brain can discriminate numerous body signals through VSNs, yet the underlying molecular coding strategy remains poorly understood. Here we show that VSNs code visceral organ, tissue layer, and stimulus modality, three key features of an interoceptive signal, in different dimensions. Large-scale single-cell profiling of VSNs from seven major organs, including the lung, heart, stomach, esophagus, duodenum, pancreas, and transverse colon, using multiplexed projection-barcodes reveals a ‘visceral organ’ dimension composed of differentially expressed gene modules coding VSN target organs along body’s rostral-caudal axis. Surprisingly, we discover another ‘tissue layer’ dimension with gene modules coding VSN ending locations along organ’s surface-lumen axis. The three independent feature-coding dimensions together specify many parallel VSN pathways in a combinatorial fashion and facilitate complex VSN projection in the brainstem. Our study thus highlights a novel multidimensional coding architecture of the mammalian vagal interoceptive system for effective signal communication.

Single-cell RNA-sequencing of mouse periaqueductal gray (PAG) neurons using Smart-seq2.

Project description:We optimized Voltage-Seq which combines, all-optical physiology, spatial mapping, on-site classification, and RNA-transcriptomics to robustly increase the throughput of synaptic connectivity testing and targeted molecular classification of postsynaptic neurons. Single-cell RNA-sequencing was performed on spatial- and voltage-recorded neurons in the mouse PAG. Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) clustered cells as excitatory or inhibitory, and further differential expression analyses highlighted putative marker genes of GABAergic neurons. These sequencing results were in agreement with in-situ hybridization (ISH) and neuronal activity recordings.

Molecular profiling of reticular gigantocellularis neurons

Project description:we used technique that allows the molecular characterization of particular neuronal subpopulations based on their neuroanatomical projections and the locations of their cell bodies. This ‘retro-TRAP’ (translating ribosome affinity purification from retrogradely labeled neurons) approach relies on viral injection into an anatomical area targeted by the neurons of interest, followed by selective precipitation of ribosomes from retrogradely labeled cell bodies, and subsequent RNAseq analysis.

Epigenomic Diversity of Cortical Projection Neurons in the Mouse Brain

Project description:Neuronal cell types are classically defined by their molecular properties, anatomy, and functions. While recent advances in single-cell genomics have led to high-resolution molecular characterization of cell type diversity in the brain, neuronal cell types are often studied out of the context of their anatomical properties. To better understand the relationship between molecular and anatomical features defining cortical neurons, we developed Epi-Retro-Seq, a method that combined retrograde labeling with single-nucleus DNA methylation sequencing to link epigenomic properties of cell types to neuronal projections. We profiled 16,971 single neocortical neurons from 63 cortico-cortical and cortico-subcortical long-distance projections. Our results revealed unique epigenetic signatures of projection neurons that correspond to their laminar and regional location and projection patterns. The methylomes of 16,971 mouse neocortical neurons from 63 cortico-cortical (CC) and cortico-subcortical long-distance projections were analyzed using Epi-Retro-Seq, a method that combined retrograde tracing and single nucleus methylome sequencing.
