Diencephalic and Neuropeptidergic Dysfunction in Zebrafish with Autism Risk Mutations

ABSTRACT: Hundreds of human mutations are linked to autism and related disorders, yet the functions of many of these mutated genes during vertebrate neurodevelopment are unclear. We generated 27 zebrafish mutants with presumptive protein-truncating mutations or specific missense variants corresponding to autism-risk alleles in 17 human genes. We observed baseline and stimulus-driven behavioral changes at larval stages, as well as social behavior differences in lines tested as juveniles. Imaging whole-brain activity revealed a near identical activity map for mutations in the unrelated genes kmt5b and hdlbpa, defined by increased activity mainly in the thalamus and mesencephalon. Mutating 7 of the 17 risk genes resulted in substantial brain size differences, localized to the diencephalon in three cases and more widespread in others. Using RNA sequencing, we further defined molecular drivers of the observed phenotypes for three mutants, identifying targetable disruptions in neuropeptide signaling, neuronal maturation, and cell proliferation. This multimodal screen nominated brain regions, cell types, and molecular pathways that may contribute to autism susceptibility.

Proliferation and neural stem cell potential of diencephalic astrocytes revealed by genome-wide expression is SMAd4 dependent – RNAseq

Project description:Neural stem cells (NSCs) have astroglial hallmarks, while astrocytes in the intact adult mammalian brain parenchyma are thought to be postmitotic and lack NSC hallmarks that are activated only after injury. Analysis of genome-wide expression at population and single cell level in astrocytes from the diencephalon (DIE) and the cerebral cortex Grey grey Matter matter (CTX GM) revealed cell cycle associated gene expression, that we verified in situ by PCNA immunostaining and incorporation of the thymidine analog EdU. Strikingly, clonal analysis using GLASTCreERT2/confetti mice showed that only diencephalic astrocytes give rise to daughter cells in multi-cellular clones. In addition, subsets of astrocytes only from the diencephalon form multipotent, self-renewing neurospheres in vitro. Given the differential expression levels of genes related to Smad mediated transcriptional regulation between CTX GM and DIE astrocytes, we deleted the common mediator Smad4 in adult astrocytes. This abrogates proliferation of diencephalic astrocytes in vivo and their neurosphere formation in vitro. This work therefore identified a novel astrocyte subtype with NSC hallmarks in the diencephalon and implicates ongoing astrocytogenesis as a region-specific hallmark in the adult brain.

The acute transcriptome response of the midbrain/diencephalon to injury in the adult mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus)

Project description:Adult fish produce new cells throughout their central nervous system during the course of their lives. Furthermore, they maintain a tremendous capacity to repair damaged neural tissue. Much of the focus on understanding brain repair and regeneration in fish has been directed at regions of the brainstem and forebrain; however, the mesencephalon (midbrain) and diencephalon have received comparatively little attention. We sought to characterize differential gene expression in the midbrain/diencephalon in response to injury in the adult fish using RNA-seq. Using the mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus), we administered a mechanical lesion traversing the midbrain optic tectum, tegmentum and underlying hypothalamus of the diencephalon and examined differential gene expression at an acute recovery time of 1hr post-injury. Comparisons of whole transcriptomes derived from isolated RNA of intact and injured midbrain/diencephalic tissue identified over 400 differentially expressed genes with the vast majority being upregulated. Using qPCR, we validated the upregulation of three differentially expressed genes, pim-2-like, syndecan-4-like, and cd83. Based on genes both familiar and novel regarding the adult brain response to injury, these data provide an extensive molecular profile giving insight into a range of cellular processes putatively involved in the injury response of a brain regenerative-capable vertebrate.

Multi-organ transcriptomic profiling of short-term fasted mice

Project description:To investigate the global gene expression dynamics associated with short-term fasting, we used mRNA-seq to profile the transcriptomes of nine organs obtained from mice subjected to six different STF duration (0, 2, 8, 12, 18 and 22 hours of fasting; n=3 per time point; Fig. 1a). The nine organs profiled were: olfactory bulb (OB), brain (BRN, which includes the telencephalon and diencephalon), cerebellum (CBL), brainstem (BST, which consists of the mesencephalon, pons, and myelencephalon), stomach (STM), liver (LIV), interscapular brown adipose tissue (iBAT), perigonadal white adipose tissue (pgWAT), and posterior-subcutaneous white adipose tissue (psWAT).
