A spatially-resolved transcriptional atlas of the murine dorsal pons at single-cell resolution

ABSTRACT: The “dorsal pons”, or “dorsal pontine tegmentum” (dPnTg), is part of the brainstem. It is a complex, densely packed region whose nuclei are involved in regulating many vital functions. Notable among them are the parabrachial nucleus, the Kölliker Fuse, the Barrington nucleus, the locus coeruleus, and the dorsal, laterodorsal, and ventral tegmental nuclei. In this study, we applied single-nucleus RNA-seq (snRNA-seq) to resolve neuronal subtypes based on their unique transcriptional profiles and then used multiplexed error robust fluorescence in situ hybridization (MERFISH) to map them spatially. We sampled ~1 million cells across the dPnTg and defined the spatial distribution of over 120 neuronal subtypes. Our analysis identified an unpredicted high transcriptional diversity in this region and pinpointed the unique marker genes of many neuronal subtypes. We also demonstrated that many neuronal subtypes are transcriptionally similar between humans and mice, enhancing this study’s translational value. Finally, we developed a freely accessible, GPU and CPU-powered dashboard (http://harvard.heavy.ai:6273/) that combines interactive visual analytics and hardware-accelerated SQL into a data science framework to allow the scientific community to query and gain insights into the data.

Transcription profiling of monkey thalamus

Project description:Nuclei of the mammalian thalamus are aggregations of neurons with unique architectures and input-output connections, yet the molecular determinants of their organizational specificity remain unknown. By comparing expression profiles of thalamus and cerebral cortex in adult rhesus monkeys we identified transcripts that are unique to dorsal thalamus or to individual nuclei within it. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and in situ hybridization analyses confirmed the findings. Expression profiling of individual nuclei microdissected from the dorsal thalamus revealed additional subsets of nucleus-specific genes. Functional annotation using Gene Ontology (GO) vocabulary and Ingenuity Pathway analysis revealed over-representation of GO categories related to development, morphogenesis, cell-cell interactions, and extracellular matrix within the thalamus- and nucleus-specific genes-many involved in the Wnt signaling pathway. Examples included the transcription factor TCF7L2, localized exclusively to excitatory neurons, a calmodulin-binding protein PCP4, the bone extracellular matrix molecules SPP1 and SPARC, and other genes involved in axon outgrowth and cell matrix interactions. Other nucleus-specific genes such as CBLN1 are involved in synaptogenesis. The genes identified likely underlie nuclear specification, cell phenotype and connectivity during development and their maintenance in the adult thalamus. Experiment Overall Design: To determine the molecular underpinnings of nuclear specificity in the dorsal thalamus we isolated micro-punches of tissue from nucleus-specific regions and processed them for microarray analysis. Replicate samples from 5 separate dorsal thalamic nuclei were processed and compared to identify genes unique to each region. Affymetrix U133A Gene Chips were used. All of the samples were isolated from untreated adult monkey brain.

Cellular Taxonomy of the Adult Human Spinal Cord

Project description:This study generates a census of cell signatures using single-nucleus RNA-sequencing data from dissociated lumbar human spinal cord. Nuclei were isolated using a triton-based dissociation protocol, processed using the 10x Genomic Chromium 3' platform (v3), and clustered into major cell classes as well as subtypes within each neuronal and glial class.

Guidance landscapes unveiled by quantitative proteomics to control reinnervation in adult visual system

Project description:Long-distance regeneration of the central nervous system (CNS) has been achieved from the eye to the brain through activation of neuronal molecular pathways or pharmacological approaches. Characterizing the mature neuronal environment is essential to understand the adult axonal guidance in order to complete the circuit reconstruction. To this end, we used mass spectrometry (MS)-based quantitative proteomics to characterize the proteomes of major nuclei of the adult visual system: suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), ventral and dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (vLGN, dLGN) and superior colliculus (SCol)), as well as the optic chiasm. These analyses revealed the presence of guidance molecules and guidance-associated factors in the adult visual targets. Moreover, by performing bilateral optic nerve crush, we showed that the expression of specific proteins was significantly modulated by the injury in the visual targets, even in the ones most distal to the lesion site. On another hand, we found that the expression of guidance molecules was not modified upon injury and that regenerative axons are able to respond to guidance cues. Together, our results provide an extensive characterization of the molecular environment in intact and injured conditions.

Single cell RNA-seq characterizes neural cell population in mouse dorsal root ganglion tissue

Project description:We characterized the cell population in mouse dorsal root ganglion using single cell RNA-seq experiment. The data was generated to test the ability of deconvolution method AdRoit. Neural tissues typically have many closely related neuronal cell types and subtypes. The complex population composition forms a challenging testing ground for evaluating and benchmarking the accuracy and robustness of deconvolution methods.

Transcription profiling of rat brain tissue samples from cocaine-treated and saline-treated control animals

Project description:The 10 samples below represent a study where gene expression levels were measured in 5 different parts of the rat brain under cocaine-treated (GSM4696, GSM4698 - GSM4701) and saline-treated control (GSM4702 - GSM4706) conditions. The regions studied were amygdala (amy), caudate putamen (cpu), nucleus acumbens (na), prefrontal cortex (cpu), and the ventral tegmental area (vta). The data were analyzed using two different computational techniques, viz. singular value decomposition (SVD) and self-organizing maps (SOM), to identify a common set of genes that were regulated by cocaine administration.

Neuronal brain region-specific DNA methylation and chromatin accessibility are associated with neuropsychiatric trait heritability [ATAC-Seq]

Project description:We analyzed differential methylation (via WGBS) between four distinct human brain regions (NAcc-nucleus accumbens, BA9-dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, BA24-anterior cingulate cortex, and HC-hippocampus) in both sorted nuclei and intact tissues. We isolated neuronal and non-neuronal (glial) nuclei from the same six individuals for each tissue via FACS using the neuronal marker, NeuN. Additionally, we performed WGBS from non-sorted tissues from these same brain regions in a total of 12 individuals (BA9 n = 9; BA24 n = 5; HC n = 6; NAcc n = 7). To complement our DNA methylation analyses, we measured gene expression (RNA-seq) and chromatin accessibility (ATAC-seq) in neuronal and non-neuronal nuclei from the nucleus accumbens and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex from six more individuals. We then performed an integrative analysis to understand how the epigenome contributes to brain region-specific function.
