Integrative single-nucleus multiomic, CUT&Tag, and bulk RNA-seq profiling of human and mouse prefrontal cortex reveals gene regulatory mechanisms of cortical development and Meis2 function

ABSTRACT: The development of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is governed by coordinated transcriptional and epigenomic regulatory programs. To comprehensively characterize these processes, we generated an integrative multi-modal dataset combining single-nucleus multiomic (snRNA-seq and snATAC-seq), CUT&Tag, and bulk RNA-seq data from human and mouse PFC. Single-nucleus multiomic data from human mid-fetal dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) samples and mouse postnatal day 1 (P1) medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and motor cortex (MC) and provide matched gene expression and chromatin accessibility profiles across diverse cell types. Complementary CUT&Tag experiments profiling key transcription factors (RARA, RARB, RXRG, MEIS2) and histone modifications (H3K27ac, H3K4me3) further define regulatory elements and transcriptional control landscapes. To investigate the functional role of Meis2, bulk RNA-seq was performed on mouse P0 medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) from control and Meis2 conditional knockout (cKO) samples. These data enable the identification of gene expression changes associated with Meis2 perturbation. Together, this integrated dataset provides a resource for studying gene regulatory networks underlying cortical development and for linking transcription factor activity to downstream gene expression programs across species.

Hemispheric lateralization of gene expression profile in stressed mice

Project description:Chronic stress increases the risk of emotional disorders by altering brain structure and function. Patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or depressions show activity difference between the two hemispheres in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) but molecular targets associated with this laterality remains unclear. Here, we reveal that chronic social defeats later gene-expression profile differentially between the left and right medial prefrontal cortices (mPFC) in mice.

Planar cell polarity proteins mediate ketamine-induced restoration of glutamatergic synapses in prefrontal cortical neurons in a mouse model for chronic stress

Project description:We performed single cell transcriptomics analyses in medial prefrontal cortical (mPFC) and basolateral amygdala (BLA). Ketamine induced changes in inflammatory pathways reversing corticosterone effects. Cell-cell communication analyses predicted that planar-cell-polarity (PCP) signaling is decreased after corticosterone but increased following ketamine administration in excitatory neurons. Single cell transcriptomics analyses in dorsolateral prefrontal cortical (dl-PFC) neurons of depressed patients also showed decreased PCP signaling in excitatory neurons. Using chemogenetics, we found that the BLA-projecting infra limbic prefrontal cortex (IL PFC) neurons regulate immobility time in the tail suspension test and food consumption. Using RNAScope, we found, in the excitatory neurons in mPFC, Celsrs and Prickle2 were reduced by corticosterone but increased by ketamine. Using CRISPR-Cas9, we conditionally knocked out Celsrs and Prickle2 in the BLA-projecting IL-PFC neurons and found that ketamine-induced synapse restoration and behavioral remission were abolished. Ketamine affects gene expression and PCP proteins underly long-lasting effects of low-dose ketamine.

Early remodeling of the neocortex upon episodic memory encoding

Project description:Understanding the mechanisms by which long-term memories are formed and stored in the brain represents a central aim of neuroscience. Prevailing theory suggests that long-term memory encoding involves early plasticity within hippocampal circuits, while reorganization of the neocortex is thought to occur weeks to months later to subserve remote memory storage. Here we report that long-term memory encoding can elicit early transcriptional, structural and functional remodeling of the neocortex. Parallel studies using genome-wide RNA-sequencing, ultrastructural imaging, and whole-cell recording in wild-type mice suggest that contextual fear conditioning initiates a transcriptional program in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) that is accompanied by rapid expansion of the synaptic active zone and postsynaptic density, enhanced dendritic spine plasticity, and increased synaptic efficacy. To address the real-time contribution of the mPFC to long-term memory encoding, we performed temporally precise optogenetic inhibition of excitatory mPFC neurons during contextual fear conditioning. Using this approach, we found that real-time inhibition of the mPFC inhibited activation of the entorhinal-hippocampal circuit and impaired the formation of long-term associative memory. These findings suggest that encoding of long-term episodic memory is associated with early remodeling of neocortical circuits, identify the prefrontal cortex as a critical regulator of encoding-induced hippocampal activation and long-term memory formation, and have important implications for understanding memory processing in healthy and diseased brain states. 4 biological replicates per group were analyzed. The material analyzed was medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC; anterior cingulate cortex subregion) from both brain hemispheres, from which total RNA was extracted.

Neuronal Kmt2a/Mll1 histone methyltransferase is essential for prefrontal synaptic plasticity and working memory

Project description:Neuronal histone H3-lysine 4 methylation landscapes are defined by sharp peaks at gene promoters and other cis-regulatory sequences, but molecular and cellular phenotypes after neuron-specific deletion of H3K4 methyl-regulators remain largely unexplored. We report that neuronal ablation of the H3K4-specific methyltransferase, Kmt2a/Mixed-lineage leukemia 1 (Mll1), in mouse postnatal forebrain and adult prefrontal cortex (PFC) is associated with increased anxiety and robust cognitive deficits without locomotor dysfunction. In contrast, only mild behavioral phenotypes were observed after ablation of the Mll1 ortholog Kmt2b/Mll2 in PFC. Impaired working memory after Kmt2a/Mll1 ablation in PFC neurons was associated with loss of training-induced transient waves of Arc immediate early gene expression critical for synaptic plasticity. Medial prefrontal layer V pyramidal neurons, a major output relay of the cortex, demonstrated severely impaired synaptic facilitation and temporal summation, two forms of short-term plasticity essential for working memory. Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by deep sequencing in Mll1-deficient cortical neurons revealed downregulated expression and loss of the transcriptional mark, trimethyl-H3K4, at <50 loci, including the homeodomain transcription factor Meis2. Small RNA-mediated Meis2 knockdown in PFC was associated with working memory defects similar to those elicited by Mll1 deletion. Therefore, mature prefrontal neurons critically depend on maintenance of Mll1-regulated H3K4 methylation at a subset of genes with an essential role in cognition and emotion.

Comparative transcriptomic rhythms in the mouse and human prefrontal cortex

Project description:Alterations in multiple subregions of the human prefrontal cortex (PFC) have been heavily implicated in psychiatric diseases. Moreover, emerging evidence suggests that circadian rhythms in gene expression are present across the brain, including in the PFC, and that these rhythms are altered in disease. However, investigation into the potential circadian mechanisms underlying these diseases in animal models must contend with the fact that the human PFC is highly evolved and specialized relative to that of rodents. Here, we use RNA sequencing to lay the groundwork for translational studies of molecular rhythms through a sex-specific, cross species comparison of transcriptomic rhythms between the mouse medial PFC (mPFC) and two subregions of the human PFC, the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and the dorsolateral PFC (DLPFC). We find that while circadian rhythm signaling is conserved across species and subregions, there is a phase shift in the expression of core clock genes between the mouse mPFC and human PFC subregions that differs by sex. Furthermore, we find that the identity of rhythmic transcripts is largely unique between the mouse mPFC and human PFC subregions, with the most overlap (20%, 236 transcripts) between the mouse mPFC and the human ACC in females. Nevertheless, we find that basic biological processes are enriched for rhythmic transcripts across species, with key differences between regions and sexes. Together, this work highlights both the evolutionary conservation of transcriptomic rhythms and the advancement of the human PFC, underscoring the importance of considering cross-species differences when using animal models.

Transcriptomic analysis of prefrontal medial cortex, hippocampus and nucleus accumbens of alcohol-preferring and nonpreferring rats

Project description:Animal models provide opportunity to study neurobiological aspects of human alcoholism. Changes in gene expression have been implicated in mediating brain function, including reward system and addiction. The current study aimed to identify novel genes that may underlie ethanol preference. Microarray analysis comparing gene expression in nucleus accumbens (NAc), hippocampus (HP) and prefrontal medial cortex (mPFC) was performed in two rat strains selected for extreme levels of ethanol preference - Warsaw High Preferring (WHP) and Warsaw Low Preferring (WLP). The identified candidate genes may underlie differential ethanol preference in rat model of alcoholism. This is analysis of 18 RNA samples, including 9 technical replicates. Two strains of rats selected for extreme levels of ethanol preference (low preferring WLP and high preferring WHP) were compared. Three brain areas (nucleus accumbens, prefrontal medial cortex and hippocampus) were studied. For each brain area, 6 RNA samples (including 3 technical replicates) were analyzed. Each RNA sample consist of of equal amounts of total RNA from 3 male rats. Comparisons: Nucleus accumbens of WHP vs. Nucleus accumbens of WLP; Prefrontal medial cortex of WHP vs. Prefrontal medial cortex of WLP; Hippocampus of WHP vs. Hippocampus of WLP. 3 biological replicates in each comparison.

The influence of the estrous cycle on sex differences in the rat adult medial prefrontal cortex transcriptome [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Hormonal fluctuations throughout the ovarian cycle contribute to femalesâ?? higher vulnerability to anxiety disorders when compared to males. Notably, such sex differences are controlled by regulation of genes in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) including the transcription factor early growth response 1 (Egr1) in rats, which highlights a control of anxiety-like behaviors by sexually-biased gene expression. We therefore undertook a large-scale characterization of sex differences and their interaction with the estrous cycle in the adult mPFC transcriptome and report that proestrus and diestrus females (with high and low ovarian hormones levels, respectively) exhibited a partly-opposed sexually-biased transcriptome. Surprisingly, the extent of regulations within females vastly exceeded sex differences, and support a multi-level reorganization of synaptic function across the estrous cycle. Furthermore, genome-wide analysis of Egr1 binding highlighted its role in controlling the synapse-related genes varying within females, and the sex- and estrous cycle-dependent transcriptomic reorganization in the rat mPFC. Early growth response 1 (Egr1) binding profiling in the adult rat medial prefrontal cortex of males, proestrus females, and diestrus females. A total of 9 animals were used, corresponding to 3 Males, 2 proestrus females, and 4 diestrus females.

Proteome profiling in aging rat brain by LC-MS/MS

Project description:This study investigated proteome profile in the hippocampus, medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), and striatum of 14, 18, 23, and 27 months old rats in order to see the effect of aging on proteins in these regions. Using ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography coupled with Q Exactive HF Orbitrap mass spectrometry, we identified 1074 proteins in the hippocampus, 871 proteins in the mPFC, and 241 proteins the striatum. Ninety-seven, 25, and 5 of these proteins were differentially expressed with age in the hippocampus, mPFC, and striatum, respectively. Overall, aging causes divergent protein changes in specific brain regions, with the most prominent changes observed in the late-aged.
