Transcriptomically-guided pharmacological experiments in neocortical and hippocampal NPY-positive GABAergic interneurons

ABSTRACT: Cortical GABAergic interneurons have been shown to fulfil important roles by inhibiting excitatory principal neurons. Recent transcriptomic studies have confirmed seminal discoveries that used anatomical and electrophysiological methods highlighting the existence of multiple different classes of GABAergic interneurons. However, individual studies have rarely addressed regional specific differences in gene expression in a given subclass of neuron. Using single-cell Patch-RNAseq, we characterised neuropeptide Y (NPY)-positive GABAergic interneurons in superficial layers of the primary auditory cortex and in distal layers of area CA3. We found that more than 300 genes are differentially expressed in NPY-positive neurons between these two brain regions. For example, the AMPA receptor auxiliary subunit Shisa9/CKAMP44 and the 5-HT2a receptor are significantly higher expressed in auditory NPY-positive neurons. These findings guided us to perform pharmacological experiments that revealed a role for 5-HT2a receptors in auditory NPY-positive neurons. Specifically, although the application of 5-HT led to a depolarisation of both auditory and CA3 NPY-positive neurons, the 5-HT2a receptor antagonist ketanserin only reversed membrane potential changes in auditory NPY-positive neurons. Our study demonstrates the potential of single-cell transcriptomic studies in guiding directed pharmacological experiments.

Epigenomic Signatures of Neuronal Diversity in the Mammalian Brain

Project description:We developed an affinity purification approach to isolate tagged nuclei in mice (similar to INTACT; [Deal R.B. and Henikoff S. A simple method for gene expression and chromatin profiling of individual cell types within a tissue. Dev. Cell 18,1030-1040. (2010)]) and used it to characterize genome-wide patterns of transcription, DNA methylation, and chromatin accessibility in 3 major neuron classes of the neocortex (excitatory pyramidal neurons, parvalbumin (PV)-positive GABAergic interneurons, and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-positive GABAergic interneurons). By combining cell purification and integrative analysis, our findings relate the phenotypic and functional complexity of neocortical neurons to their underlying transcriptional and epigenetic diversity.

EB-mediated NPY expression and release.

Project description:Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is an endogenous modulator of neuronal activity by regulating GABA and glutamate release. Previously, we found that estradiol modulates NPY expression in the hippocampal dentate gyrus. Here we investigated which estrogen receptor type activation is required for the NPY expression. Further, we determined effects of estrogen receptor activation on NPY release. Finally, we determined the contribution of estrogen-mediated remodeling of the GABAergic and glutamatergic network in relation to changes in coupling with NPY in ovariectomized rats. We found that activation of either estrogen receptor type increases NPY expression as well as NPY release in the dentate gyrus. We also found that compared to OVX rats, estrogen replacement increases the likeness of synergistic/antagonistic coupling between the NPY and GABAergic synapse genes while the glutamatergic synapse genes are less likely coupled with NPY. The data together suggest that estrogen plays a critical role in regulation of activity of the NPY system and its coupling to GABAergic and glutamatergic synapses in female rat dentate gyrus. Two-conditions (E = beta-estradiol replacement vs O = oil) experiment. Biological replicates: 4E, 4O.

Landscape of ribosome-engaged alternative transcript isoforms across neuronal cell classes

Project description:The goal of this project was to assess how alternative splicing programs are arrayed across neuronal cells types. We systematically mapped ribosome-associated transcript isoforms in genetically-defined neuron types of the mouse forebrain. The endogenous ribosomal protein Rpl22 was conditionally HA-tagged in glutamatergic neurons (using CamK2-cre for most neocortical pyramidal cells and Scnn1a-cre for spiny stellate and star pyramid layer 4 cells), and GABAergic interneurons [with somatostatin-cre (SST), parvalbumin-cre (PV) and vasointestinal peptide-cre (VIP)]. Within the hippocampus, we further targeted Cornu ammonis 1 (CA1) neurons (CamK2-cre), CA3 neurons (Grik4-cre), and SST-positive interneurons (SST-cre). Four replicates were deep sequenced (~100 million reads) using an Illumina platform. We find that neuronal transcript isoform profiles reliably distinguish even closely-related classes of pyramidal cells and inhibitory interneurons in the mouse hippocampus and neocortex, positing transcript diversification by alternative splicing as a central mechanism for the functional specification of neuronal cell types and circuits.

Attenuated upregulation of GABAergic markers in response to BDNF in neurons lacking Xbp1

Project description:XBP1 is a transcription factor that is induced by unconventional splicing associated with endoplasmic reticulum stress and plays a role in development of liver and plasma cells. We previously reported that brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) leads to splicing of XBP1 mRNA in neurites, and that XBP1 is required for BDNF-induced neurite extension and branching. To search for the molecular mechanisms of how XBP1 plays a role in neural development, comprehensive gene expression analysis was performed in primary telencephalic neurons obtained from Xbp1 knockout mice at embryonic day 12.5. By searching for the genes induced by BDNF in wild type neurons but this induction was reduced in Xbp1 knockout mice, we found that upregulation of three GABAergic markers, somatostatin (Sst), neuropeptide Y (Npy), and calbindin (Calb1), were compromised in Xbp1 knockout neurons. Attenuated induction of Npy and Calb1 was confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR. In neurons lacking in Xbp1, upregulation of GABAergic markers was attenuated. Impaired BDNF-induced neurite extension in Xbp1 knockout neurons might be mediated by disturbed BDNF-induced differentiation of GABAergic interneurons. Keywords: time-cource, genetic modification

Chronic stress causes striatal disinhibition mediated by SOM-interneurons

Project description:Chronic stress is a major triggering factor for neuropsychiatric disorders including obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), a mental health condition characterized by motor stereotypies and striatal overactivation. However, the mechanisms at the cell- and microcircuit-level through which stress triggers motor symptoms is currently unknown. Here, we report that chronic stress (CS) in mice alters dorsomedial striatum (DMS) function, by affecting GABAergic interneuron populations and somatostatin-positive (SOM) interneurons in particular. Specifically, we show that CS impairs communication between SOM interneurons and medium spiny neurons, promoting striatal overactivation / disinhibition and increased motor output. Using probabilistic machine learning for analyzing animal behavior we further demonstrate that in vivo chemogenetic manipulation of SOM interneurons in DMS modulates motor phenotypes in stressed mice. Altogether, we propose a causal link between dysfunction of striatal SOM interneurons and motor symptoms in stress-related neuropsychiatric disorders.

Expression profiling in cortical GABAergic neurons at neonate

Project description:During embryonic development, GABAergic interneurons, a main inhibitory component in the cerebral cortex, migrate tangentially from the ganglionic eminence (GE) to cerebral cortex. After reaching the cerebral cortex, they start to extend their neurites for constructing local neuronal circuits around the neonatal stage. Aberrations in migration or neurite outgrowth are implicated in neurological and psychiatric disorders such as epilepsy, schizophrenia and autism. Previous studies revealed that in the early phase of cortical development the neural population migrates tangentially from the GE in the telencephalon and several genes have been characterized as regulators of migration and specification of GABAergic interneurons. However, much less is known about the molecular mechanisms of GABAergic interneurons-specific maturation at later stages of development. Here, we performed genome-wide screening to identify genes related to the later stage by flow cytometry based-microarray (FACS-array) and identified 247 genes expressed in cortical GABAergic interneurons. Among them, Dgkg, a member of diacylglycerol kinase family, was further analyzed. Correlational analysis revealed that Dgkg is dominantly expressed in somatostatin (SST)-expressing GABAergic interneurons. The functional study of Dgkg using GE neurons indicated alteration in neurite outgrowth of GABAergic neurons. This study shows a new functional role for Dgkg in GABAergic interneurons as well as the identification of other candidate genes for their maturation.

Early born neurons are abnormally positioned in the doublecortin knockout hippocampus

Project description:Human doublecortin (DCX) mutations are associated with severe brain malformations leading to aberrant neuron positioning (heterotopia), intellectual disability and epilepsy. The Dcx protein plays a key role in neuronal migration, and hippocampal pyramidal neurons in Dcx knockout (KO) mice are disorganized. The single CA3 pyramidal cell layer observed in wild type (WT) is present as two abnormal layers in the KO, and CA3 KO pyramidal neurons are more excitable than WT. Dcx KO mice also exhibit spontaneous epileptic activity originating in the hippocampus. It is unknown however, how hyperexcitability arises and why two CA3 layers are observed. Transcriptome analyses were performed to search for perturbed postnatal gene expression, comparing Dcx KO CA3 pyramidal cell layers with WT. Gene expression changes common to both KO layers indicated mitochondria and Golgi apparatus anomalies, as well as increased cell stress. Intriguingly, gene expression analyses also suggested that the KO layers differ significantly from each other, particularly in terms of maturity. Layer-specific molecular markers and BrdU birthdating to mark the final positions of neurons born at distinct timepoints revealed inverted layering of the CA3 region in Dcx KO animals. Notably, many early-born ‘outer boundary’ neurons are located in an inner position in the Dcx KO CA3, superficial to other pyramidal neurons. This abnormal positioning likely affects cell morphology and connectivity, influencing network function. Dissecting this Dcx KO phenotype sheds light on coordinated developmental mechanisms of neuronal subpopulations, as well as gene expression patterns contributing to a bi-layered malformation associated with epilepsy.
