RBFOX3/NeuN is required for hippocampal circuit balance and function

ABSTRACT: RBFOX3 mutations are linked to epilepsy and cognitive impairments, but the underlying pathophysiology of these disorders is poorly understood. Here we report replication of human symptoms in a mouse model with disrupted Rbfox3. Rbfox3 knockout mice displayed increased seizure susceptibility and decreased anxiety-related behaviors. Focusing on hippocampal phenotypes, we found Rbfox3 knockout mice showed increased expression of plasticity genes Egr4 and Arc, and the synaptic transmission and plasticity were defective in the mutant perforant pathway. The mutant dentate granules cells exhibited an increased frequency, but normal amplitude, of excitatory synaptic events, and this change was associated with an increase in the neurotransmitter release probability and dendritic spine density. Together, our results demonstrate anatomical and functional abnormality in Rbfox3 knockout mice, and may provide mechanistic insights for RBFOX3-related human brain disorders.

The amyloid precursor protein regulates synaptic transmission at medial perforant path synapses

Project description:The perforant path provides the main cortical excitatory input to the hippocampus. Due to its important role in information processing and coding, entorhinal projections to the dentate gyrus have been studied in considerable detail. Nevertheless, a characterization of synaptic transmission between individual connected pairs of entorhinal stellate cells and dentate granule cells is still pending. Here, we have used organotypic entorhino-hippocampal tissue cultures, in which the entorhino-dentate (EC-GC) projection is present and EC-GC pairs can be studied using whole-cell patch clamp recordings. Using cultures of wildtype mice, the properties of EC-GC synapses formed by afferents from the lateral and medial entorhinal cortex were compared and differences in short-term plasticity were revealed. Since the perforant path is severely affected in Alzheimer´s disease, we used cultures of APP-deficient mice to address the role of the amyloid-precursor protein (APP) at this synapse. APP-deficiency caused alterations in excitatory neurotransmission at medial perforant path synapses that were accompanied by transcriptomic and ultrastructural changes. Moreover, the deletion of pre- but not postsynaptic APP through the local injection of Cre-expressing AAVs in conditional APPflox/flox tissue cultures increased the efficacy of neurotransmission at perforant path synapses. Together, these data suggest a physiological role for presynaptic APP at medial perforant path synapses, which may be adversely affected under conditions of altered APP processing.

Gene expression profiling of neurons with Rbfox1 and Rbfox3 knockdown

Project description:Human genetic studies have identified the neuronal RNA binding protein, Rbfox1, as a candidate gene for autism spectrum disorders. While Rbfox1 functions as a splicing regulator in the nucleus, it is also alternatively spliced to produce cytoplasmic isoforms. To investigate cytoplasmic Rbfox1, we knocked down Rbfox proteins in mouse neurons and rescued with cytoplasmic or nuclear Rbfox1. Transcriptome profiling showed that nuclear Rbfox1 rescued splicing changes induced by knockdown, whereas cytoplasmic Rbfox1 rescued changes in mRNA levels. iCLIP-seq of subcellular fractions revealed that in nascent RNA Rbfox1 bound predominantly to introns, while cytoplasmic Rbox1 bound to 3' UTRs. Cytoplasmic Rbfox1 binding increased target mRNA stability and translation, and overlapped significantly with miRNA binding sites. Cytoplasmic Rbfox1 target mRNAs were enriched in genes involved in cortical development and autism. Our results uncover a new Rbfox1 regulatory network and highlight the importance of cytoplasmic RNA metabolism to cortical development and disease. In this data set, we included the data from microarray experiments. We performed microarray analysis to profile gene expression and splicing changes in mouse hippocampal cultures (14 DIV) with Rbfox1 and Rbfox3 double knockdown by siRNAs. Before the treatment of siRNAs, the hippocampal cultures were treated with AraC to eliminate glial cells and co-cultured with cortical cultures to support the growth of neurons. Six samples were analyzed.

Rbfox1, Rbfox2, and Rbfox3 iCLIP from mouse brain nuclear fractions

Project description:In this study we analyze the in vivo recruitment of mouse brain nuclear Rbfox proteins to RNA using individual-nucleotide resolution UV cross-linking and immunoprecipitation (iCLIP). Rbfox1, Rbfox, 2, and Rbfox3 iCLIP libraries were constructed from high molecular weight (HMW) nuclear fraction containing chromatin and the soluble nucleoplasm.

Differential expression of mature miRNAs in P19 cells during neuronal differentiation and by Rbfox3 depletion.

Project description:To investigate whether Rbfox3 could alter the expression level of miRNAs during neuronal differentiation of P19 cells, we performed miRNA microarray analysis using the RNAs extracted from untreated (undifferentiated) P19-GFP, RA-treated (neuronally differentiated) P19-GFP, or RA-treated P19-T2 cells. Total 9 samples were analyzed. We compared expression levels of P19-GFP (-) vs P19-GFP (+) vs P19-T2 (+) to identify miRNAs which had changes in expression levels with p < 0.01. From this miRNA list, we compared among P19-GFP (-) vs P19-GFP (+) vs P19-T2 (+) to identify the miRNAs which appeared to correlate with Rbfox3 expression.
