Stress-related prefrontal activation in Tourette disorder

ABSTRACT: We performed the first single-nucleus transcriptomic analysis of postmortem DLPFC tissue from individuals with TD and age-matched neurotypical controls. No significant differences in cell numbers were observed between groups. Gene ontology analyses revealed broad upregulation of transcripts related to protein synthesis, most prominently in microglia, oligodendrocytes, and interneurons. Within neuronal clusters, these changes were most pronounced in superficial and middle-layer pyramidal neurons and vasointestinal peptide (VIP)-positive interneurons. Differential expression analyses showed widespread increases in immediate early genes (IEGs) and glucocorticoid-responsive transcripts across all cell types in TD. Furthermore, all cell populations in TD samples exhibited enrichment for genes associated with stress-related psychopathology. These findings implicate the DLPFC as a locus of heightened stress responsivity and disrupted excitatory–inhibitory development in TD.

Gene expression of L3 parvalbumin neurons in the DLPFC comparing schizophrenia with unaffected subjects

Project description:Schizophrenia is associated with dysfunction of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). This dysfunction is manifest as cognitive deficits that appear to arise from disturbances in gamma frequency oscillations. These oscillations are generated in DLPFC layer 3 via reciprocal connections between pyramidal cells and parvalbumin (PV)-containing interneurons. The density of cortical PV neurons is not altered in schizophrenia, but expression levels of several transcripts involved in PV cell function, including PV, are lower in the disease.

Bulk RNA sequencing from sorted VChIs

Project description:VIP/ChAT colinergic interneurons were isolated from mouse cortices with the NuNeX Method described in the manuscript. Cortical neuronal networks control cognitive output, but their composition and modulation remain elusive. Here, we studied the morphological and transcriptional diversity of cortical cholinergic VIP/ChAT interneurons (VChIs), a sparse population with a largely unknown function. We focused on VChIs from the whole barrel cortex and developed a high-throughput automated reconstruction framework, termed PopRec, to characterize hundreds of VChIs from each mouse in an unbiased manner, while preserving 3D cortical coordinates in multiple cleared mouse brains, accumulating thousands of cells. We identified two fundamentally distinct morphological types of VChIs, bipolar and multipolar that differ in their cortical distribution and general morphological features. Following mild unilateral whisker deprivation on postnatal day seven, we found after three weeks both ipsi- and contralateral dendritic arborization differences and modified cortical depth and distribution patterns in the barrel fields alone. To seek the transcriptomic drivers, we developed NuNeX, a method for isolating nuclei from fixed tissues, to explore sorted VChIs. This highlighted differentially expressed neuronal structural transcripts, altered exitatory innervation pathways and established Elmo1 as a key regulator of morphology following deprivation.

HDAC3 Inhibition Causes the Impairment in Development of Neocortical VIP Interneurons via dysregulation of Notch Signaling and Autism-like Behaviors

Project description:Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairments in social interactions and stereotyped behaviors. While ASD has a strong genetic background, environmental factors including toxins, pesticides, infection and drugs are also known to confer autism susceptibility, likely by inducing epigenetic changes. Exposure to Valproic acid (VPA), a drug for epilepsy and bipolar disorders, during pregnancy is highly associated with the risk of ASD children. In rodents, in utero VPA exposure can precipitate behavioral phenotypes related to ASD in the offspring. Since VPA is an inhibitor of histone deacethytransferase (HDAC) activity, it thought to cause ASD with epigenetic modification. However, the core mechanism by which prenatal VPA exposure causes onset of ASD is still not fully uncovered. Here we revealed that prenatal VPA exposure strongly influences development of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) - positive neurons, a subtype of cortical GABAergic interneurons. The number of VIP+ interneurons was severely reduced in somatosensory area of VPA-exposed ASD animals. We then found that the reduction in VIP+ interneurons is caused by the inhibition of HDAC3 activity upon prenatal VPA exposure. Importantly, prenatal HDAC3 inhibition caused not only the selective reduction in VIP+ interneurons but also the ASD-like behaviors in mice. We then demonstrated that the HDAC3 inhibition aberrantly activates Notch signaling, which influences the cell fate determination of VIP+ interneuron progenitors in caudal ganglionic eminence. Thus, this study uncovers the mechanism by which specific HDAC inhibition during development influences a specific type of GABAergic interneurons in the ASD model. The findings provide a novel insight into the understanding of ASD pathophysiology.

Single genomic enhancers drive experience-dependent GABAergic plasticity to maintain sensory processing in the adult cortex (RNA-Seq II)

Project description:Experience-dependent plasticity of synapses modulates information processing in neural circuits and is essential for cognitive functions. Genomic enhancers are thought to modulate specific sets of synapses by regulating experience-induced transcription to thereby promote neural circuit plasticity. However, this idea remains untested. Thus, here we analyze the cellular and circuit functions of the genomic mechanisms that control the experience-induced transcription of Igf1 (Insulin-like growth factor 1) in disinhibitory VIP interneurons in the adult visual cortex. We find that two sensory-induced enhancers selectively and cooperatively drive sensory-induced Igf1 transcription and that these enhancers homeostatically control the ratio between excitation and inhibition (E/I-ratio) and neural activity in VIP interneurons to thereby restrict visual acuity. Thus, single experience-regulated enhancers are essential for maintaining sensory processing. Since cortical plasticity scales with neural activity in VIP interneurons, this also suggests that experience-induced transcription restricts plasticity in adult neural circuits to preserve the brain’s functional integrity.

Molecular and cellular changes underlying evolutionary specializations of primate dorsolateral prefrontal cortex II

Project description:The granular dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) is an evolutionary specialization of primates that is centrally involved in cognition. Here, we assessed over 600,000 single-nucleus transcriptomes from human, chimpanzee, macaque, and marmoset dlPFC. While major subclasses of transcriptomically-defined cell subtypes are conserved, we detected several subtypes only in some species and substantial species-specific molecular differences across homologous neuronal, glial and non-neural subtypes. The latter are exemplified by human-specific switching between translation of the neuropeptide somatostatin (SST) and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), the rate-limiting enzyme in dopamine production, in certain interneurons, and also by expression of the neuropsychiatric risk gene FOXP2, which is human-specific in microglia and primate-specific in layer-4 granular neurons. We generated a comprehensive transcriptomic and cellular survey of dlPFC evolution in anthropoid primates.

PlexinA4-Semaphorin3A mediated crosstalk between main cortical interneuron classes is required for superficial interneurons lamination

Project description:In the mammalian cerebral cortex, the developmental events governing the allocation of different classes of inhibitory neurons into distinct cortical layers are poorly understood. Here we report that the guidance receptor PlexinA4 is upregulated in serotonin receptor 3a-expressing (HTR3A) cortical interneurons (hINs) as they invade the cortical plate and that it regulates their laminar allocation to superficial cortical layers. We find that the PlexinA4 ligand Semaphorin3A acts as a chemorepulsive factor on hINs migrating into the nascent cortex and demonstrate that Semaphorin3A specifically controls their laminar positioning through PlexinA4. We identify that deep layer interneurons constitute a major source of Semaphorin3A in the developing cortex and demonstrate that cell-type specific genetic deletion of Semaphorin3A in these interneurons specifically affects the laminar allocation of hINs. These data demonstrate that in the neocortex, deep layer interneurons control the laminar allocation of hINs into superficial layers.

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.
