Development of a platform to investigate long term potentiation in human iPSC-derived neuronal networks

ABSTRACT: Although impairment of long-term potentiation (LTP) is a common feature of many neurological disorders, studies in humans are limited by inaccessibility of the brain. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) provide a unique opportunity to study LTP, especially in disease specific genetic backgrounds. We describe a multi-electrode array (MEA)-based assay to investigate chemically induced LTP (cLTP) in networks of hiPSC-derived midbrain dopaminergic (DA) and cortical neuronal populations. We demonstrate potentiation of activity that lasts for days, allowing for studies of the late phases of LTP. We show that cLTP on midbrain DA neuronal networks is largely independent of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR), and demonstrate partial dependence on brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), as well as other factors released into the medium. Finally, we describe activity-regulated gene expression induced by cLTP. In summary, this cLTP-MEA assay platform will enable phenotype discovery and higher throughput analyses of synaptic plasticity on hiPSC-derived neurons.

Ketogenic diet and BHB rescue the fall of long-term potentiation in an Alzheimer's mouse model and stimulates synaptic plasticity pathway enzymes

Project description:The Ketogenic Diet (KD) improves memory and longevity in aged C57BL/6 mice. We tested 7 months KD vs. control diet (CD) in the mouse Alzheimer's Disease (AD) model APP/PS1. KD significantly rescued Long-Term-Potentiation (LTP) to wild-type levels, not by changing Amyloid-β (Aβ) levels. KD's 'main actor' is thought to be Beta-Hydroxy-butyrate (BHB) whose levels rose significantly in KD vs. CD mice, and BHB itself significantly rescued LTP in APP/PS1 hippocampi. KD's 6 most significant pathways induced in brains by RNAseq all related to Synaptic Plasticity. KD induced significant increases in synaptic plasticity enzymes p-ERK and p-CREB in both sexes, and of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in APP/PS1 females. We suggest KD rescues LTP through BHB's enhancement of synaptic plasticity. LTP falls in Mild-Cognitive Impairment (MCI) of human AD. KD and BHB, because they are an approved diet and supplement respectively, may be most therapeutically and translationally relevant to the MCI phase of Alzheimer's Disease.

Mapping Gene Expression in Excitatory Neurons During Hippocampal Late-Phase Long-term Potentiation

Project description:The long-lasting changes in synaptic connectivity that underlie long-term memory require new RNA and protein synthesis for their persistence. To elucidate the temporal pattern of gene expression that gives rise to long-lasting, learning-related neuronal plasticity, we profiled RNAs in mouse hippocampal CA3-CA1 slices following induction of late phase long-term potentiation (LTP), analyzing differential expression (DE) specifically within pyramidal excitatory neurons by Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification RNA sequencing (TRAP-seq). We detected time-dependent changes in up- and down-regulated ribosome-associated mRNAs over the two hours following LTP induction, with minimal overlap of DE transcripts between time points. TRAP-seq revealed greater numbers and amplitudes of LTP-induced changes than RNA-seq of all cell types in the hippocampus. Transcripts that were DE by TRAP-seq but not RNA-seq were enriched in mRNAs encoding cytoskeletal and cell adhesion proteins, while RNA-seq identified DE in many non-neuronal mRNAs. Together our results highlight the importance of considering both the time course and the cell-type specificity of activity-dependent gene expression during memory formation.

mRNA sequencing analysis of transcripts from CA1 regions 90 minutes after Long-Term Potentiation was induced

Project description:Purpose: Study the differentially expressed genes in hippocampal rat CA1 regions 90 minutes after Long-Term Potentiation (LTP) was induced using field recordings Methods: hippocampal rat CA1 region mRNA profiles of control (unstimulated) and 90 minutes after LTPwas induced (LTP 90) were generated by deep sequencing. A pool of approximately 10 CA1 regions collected from at least 3 different animals were used. The seq library was prepared using TruSeq RNA Sample Prep Kit v2 protocol (Illumina, CA, USA). For the RNA-Seq data analysis Tophat 2.0.13, bowtie 2.1.0 , samtool 0.1.7 and cufflinks 1.3.0 were used. The rn5-bowtie2 index was generated with the command 'bowtie2-build rn5.fa rn5'. The 'rn5.fa'-file was downloaded from the UCSC genome browser. The mm10-bowtie2 index was downloaded from http://bowtie-bio.sourceforge.net/bowtie2/manual.shtml. RefSeq geneTracks and GTF-files for the rn5 and mm10 genome assembly were downloaded from UCSC genome browser. Common gene ids in the GTF-files were matched to individual transcript_ids using the corresponding official symbols obtained from the geneTracks files. Conclusions: Our study illustrates the nature of the different transcripts in acute rat hippocampal slices after LTP 90 minutes was induced using field electrophysiology and compares them with control, unstimulated slices. Thius allowed us to identify wich genes are modulated in the hippocampus in order to promote and sustain LTP.

Midbrain floor plate dopamine neurons from human ESCs efficiently engraft in murine and primate models of PD

Project description:Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are a promising source of cells for applications in regenerative medicine. Directed differentiation of hPSCs into specialized cells such as spinal motoneurons or midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons has been achieved. However the effective use of hPSCs for cell therapy has lagged far behind. While mouse PSC-derived DA neurons have shown efficacy in models of Parkinson’s disease, DA neurons derived from human PSCs generally display poor in vivo performance. There are also considerable safety concerns for hPSCs related to their potential for teratoma formation or neural overgrowth. Here we present a novel floor plate-based strategy for the derivation of human DA neurons that efficiently engraft, suggesting that past failures were due to incomplete specification rather than a specific vulnerability of the cells. Midbrain floor plate precursors are derived from hPSCs in days following exposure to small molecule activators of sonic hedgehog (SHH) and canonical WNT signaling. Engraftable midbrain DA neurons are obtained by day 25 and can be maintained in vitro for several months. Extensive in vitro molecular profiling, biochemical and electrophysiological data define developmental progression and confirm identity of hPSC-derived midbrain DA neurons. In vivo survival and function is demonstrated in PD animal models in three host species. Long-term engraftment in 6-OHDA-lesioned mouse and rats demonstrates robust survival of midbrain DA neurons, complete restoration of amphetamine-induced rotation behavior and improvements in tests of forelimb use and akinesia. Finally, scalability is demonstrated by transplantation into Parkinsonian monkeys. Excellent DA neuron survival, function and lack of neural overgrowth in the three animal models tested indicate considerable promise for the development of cell based therapies in PD.

DNA-methylation of LTP-associated genes.

Project description:Long-term potentiation (LTP) of synaptic transmission is recognized as a cellular mechanism for learning and memory storage. Although de novo gene transcription is known to be required in the formation of stable LTP, the molecular mechanisms underlying synaptic plasticity remain elusive.This study investigates the DNA-methylation levels of promoters and CpG-islands of LTP-associated genes identified from Maag et al. 2015 (DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2015.00351) (See E-MTAB-3375).

SARS-CoV-2 Infection Causes Dopaminergic Neuron Senescence

Project description:Here, we show that midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are selectively permissive to SARS-CoV-2 infection both in vitro and upon transplantation in vivo, and that SARS-CoV-2 infection triggers a DA neuron inflammatory and cellular senescence response. A high-throughput screen in hPSC-derived DA neurons identified several FDA approved drugs, including riluzole, metformin, and imatinib, that can rescue the cellular senescence phenotype and prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection. RNA-seq analysis of human ventral midbrain tissue from COVID-19 patients, using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded autopsy samples, confirmed the induction of an inflammatory and cellular senescence signature and identified low levels of SARS-CoV-2 transcripts. Our findings demonstrate that hPSC-derived DA neurons can serve as a disease model to study neuronal susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 and to identify candidate neuroprotective drugs for COVID-19 patients. The susceptibility of hPSC-derived DA neurons to SARS-CoV-2 and the observed inflammatory and senescence transcriptional responses suggest the need for careful, long-term monitoring of neurological problems in COVID-19 patients.

Isolation of human iPSC-derived dopaminergic progenitors by cell sorting

Project description:Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can provide a promising source of midbrain dopaminergic (DA) neurons for cell replacement therapy for Parkinson’s disease. However, iPSC-derived donor cells may inevitably contain tumorigenic or inappropriate cells. Purification of neural progenitor cells or DA neurons as suitable donor cells has been attempted, but the isolation of DA progenitor cells derived from human pluripotent stem cells has so far been unsuccessful. Here we show human iPSC-derived DA progenitor cells can be efficiently isolated by cell sorting using a floor plate marker, Corin. we were able to develop a method for 1) scalable DA neuron induction on human laminin fragment and 2) sorting DA progenitor cells using an anti-Corin antibody. Furthermore, we determined the optimal timing for the cell sorting and transplantation. The grafted cells survived well and functioned as midbrain DA neurons in the 6-OHDA-lesioned rats, and showed minimal risk of tumor formation. The sorting of Corin-positive cells is favorable in terms of both safety and efficiency, and our protocol will contribute to the clinical application of human iPSCs for Parkinson’s disease.
