Gene expression profiling of Calca neurons in the parabrachial nucleus (PBN)

Project description:Calca-expressing neurons in the parabrachial nucleus (PBN) play a major role in regulating appetite and transmitting real or potential threat signals. Here, we reveal transcripts specific or highly enriched in this neuronal population by using mouse genetics and a conditional viral ribosome-tagging approach to phenotype these neurons.

Molecular characterization of selectively vulnerable neurons in Alzheimer’s Disease

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the selective vulnerability of specific neuronal populations, the molecular signatures of which are largely unknown. To identify and characterize selectively vulnerable neuronal populations, we used single-nucleus RNA sequencing to profile the caudal entorhinal cortex and the superior frontal gyrus – brain regions where neurofibrillary inclusions and neuronal loss occur early and late in AD, respectively – from individuals spanning the neuropathological progression of AD. We identified RORB as a marker of selectively vulnerable excitatory neurons in the entorhinal cortex, and subsequently validated their depletion and selective susceptibility to neurofibrillary inclusions during disease progression using quantitative neuropathological methods. We also discovered an astrocyte subpopulation, likely representing reactive astrocytes, characterized by decreased expression of genes involved in homeostatic functions. Our characterization of selectively vulnerable neurons in AD paves the way for future mechanistic studies of selective vulnerability and potential therapeutic strategies for enhancing neuronal resilience. The brain tissue used in this study were sourced from the Biobank for Aging Studies (LIM-22) in the Department of Pathology at the University of Sao Paulo, as well as from the Neurodegenerative Diseases Brain Bank in the Memory and Aging Center at the University of California, San Francisco. Detailed neuropathological, clinical and genetic data are available under request. Please contact gerolab@gmail.com and lea.grinberg@ucsf.edu.
