Project description:The purpose of this study was to characterize a novel optogenetic kinase system, a Light-Regulated (LightR) switch domain, designed to improve spatiotemporal control of signaling. Using LC-MS/MS, tyrosine phosphorylation was measured after 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes and 60 minutes of LightR Src activation. TMT labeling was utilized to allow multiplexed relative quantification across time points. Results provide insight into the timing of Src and Src substrate activation.

Project description:Aims: This study aimed to identify and characterize the intrinsic properties of locus coeruleus (LC) noradrenergic neurons in male and female mice using a genetic approach. We also sought to investigate sex-specific differences in membrane properties, action potential generation, and protein expression profiles to understand the mechanisms underlying neuronal excitability variations. Methods: Utilizing a genetic mouse model by crossing Dbhcre knock-in mice with tdTomato Ai14 transgenic mice, LC neurons were identified using fluorescence microscopy. Neuronal properties, including capacitance, action potential frequency, and rheobase, were assessed using patch-clamp recordings. Spontaneous and evoked activity between sexes was compared. Proteomic analyses of individual LC neuron soma was conducted using mass-spectrometry to discern protein expression profiles. Results: Female LC noradrenergic neurons displayed greater membrane capacitance than those in male mice. Male LC neurons demonstrated greater spontaneous and evoked action potential generation compared to females. Male LC neurons exhibited a lower rheobase and achieved higher peak frequencies with similar current injections. Proteomic analysis revealed inherent differences in protein expression profiles between sexes, with male mice displaying a notably larger unique protein set compared to females. Notably, pathways pertinent to protein synthesis, degradation, and recycling, such as EIF2 and glucocorticoid receptor signaling, showed reduced expression in females. Conclusions: Male LC noradrenergic neurons exhibit higher intrinsic excitability compared to those from females. The discernible sex-based differences in excitability could be ascribed to varying protein expression profiles, especially within pathways that regulate protein synthesis and degradation. This study lays the groundwork for future studies focusing on the interplay between proteomics and neuronal function examined in individual cells.

Project description:We elucidate the transcriptome effects of optogenetics on developing neural stem cells population. The application of optogenetics in neural stem cell (NSC), allow photo-modulation of NSC in an activity-dependent manner. This provided spatio-temporal tool for studying activity dependent neurogenesis, including the potential of regulating the differentiation and maturation process of transplanted NSC. Currently, this is mainly driven by virally transfected of Channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) gene, which also requires high irradiance and complex in vitro stimulation systems. Additionally, despite the extensive application of optogenetics in neuroscience, the question of what transcriptome changes does optogenetic stimulation induced in developing NSCs have not been elucidated yet. To address these questions, we established a NSC line, expressing high light-sensitivity step-function opsin (SFO) variant of the chimeric channelrhodopsin, ChRFR(C167A) (~40x higher than ChR2), via the non-viral piggyBac transposon system. We set up a simple low-irradiance optogenetics stimulation-incubation system, which sufficiently induced depolarization in differentiating NSCs. We significantly enhance neurogenesis with low power optogenetic stimulation by 3 folds. Through microarray analysis, we have identified the genes and signaling pathways in axonal remodeling, synaptic plasticity and microenvironment modulation from optogenetic stimulation. Our results elucidate the transcriptome effects of optogenetics and the ability to drive neurogenesis with low irradiance optogenetics.

Project description:Rationale: Monitoring and controlling cardiomyocyte activity with optogenetic tools offers exciting possibilities for fundamental and translational cardiovascular research. Genetically encoded voltage indicators may be particularly attractive for minimal invasive and repeated assessments of cardiac excitation from the cellular to the whole heart level. Objective: To test the hypothesis that cardiomyocyte-targeted voltage-sensitive fluorescence protein 2.3 (VSFP2.3) can be exploited as optogenetic tool for the monitoring of electrical activity in isolated cardiomyocytes and the whole heart as well as function and maturity in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes. Methods and Results: We first generated mice with cardiomyocyte-restricted expression of VSFP2.3 and demonstrated distinct sarcolemmal localization of VSFP2.3 without any signs for associated pathologies (assessed by echocardiography). Optically recorded VSFP2.3 signals correlated well with membrane voltage measured simultaneously by patch-clamping. The utility of VSFP2.3 for human action potential recordings was confirmed by simulation of immature and mature action potentials in murine VSFP2.3 cardiomyocytes. Optical cardiograms (OCGs) could be monitored in whole hearts ex vivo and minimally invasively in vivo via fiber optics at physiological heart rate (10 Hz) and under pacing-induced arrhythmia. Finally, we reprogrammed tail-tip fibroblasts from transgenic mice and used the VSFP2.3 sensor for benchmarking functional and structural maturation in iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes. Conclusions: We introduce a novel transgenic voltage-sensor model as a new method in cardiovascular research and provide proof-of-concept for its utility in optogenetic sensing of physiological and pathological excitation in mature and immature cardiomyocytes in vitro and in vivo.

Project description:Optogenetics is a rapidly advancing technology that combines photochemical, optical and synthetic biology techniques to control cellular behaviour and physiology. Combining sensitive light responsive optogenetic intervention tools with human pluripotent stem cell differentiation models has the potential to refine differentiation and unpick the processes by which morphogenetic signals direct tissue patterning, organisation and cell specification. Here, we utilised an optogenetic bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signalling system (optoBMP) to drive chondrogenic differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). We initially engineered light-sensitive hESCs through CRISPR/Cas9-mediated integration of the optoBMP system into the AAVS1 locus. Activation of optoBMP with blue light in lieu of BMP family growth factors during differentiation resulted in activation of BMP signalling pathway mechanisms and upregulation of a chondrogenic phenotype, with significant transcriptional differences compared to cells left in the dark. Furthermore, cells differentiated with light were capable of forming chondrogenic pellets consisting of a hyaline-like cartilaginous matrix.

Project description:As the primary source of norepinephrine (NE) in the brain, the locus coeruleus (LC) regulates both arousal and stress responses1,2. However, how local neuromodulatory inputs contribute to LC function remains unresolved. Here we identify a network of transcriptionally and functionally diverse GABAergic neurons in the LC dendritic field that integrate distant inputs and modulate modes of LC firing to control arousal. We define peri-LC anatomy using viral tracing and combine single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics to molecularly define both LC and peri-LC cell types. We identify several cell types which underlie peri-LC functional diversity using a series of complementary approaches in behaving mice. Our findings indicate that LC and peri-LC neurons comprise transcriptionally and functionally heterogenous neuronal populations, alongside anatomically segregated features which coordinate specific influences on behavioral arousal and avoidance states. Defining the molecular, cellular and functional diversity in the LC provides a road map for understanding the neurobiological basis of arousal alongside hyperarousal-related neuropsychiatric phenotypes.
