Expression profiling in cortical GABAergic neurons at neonate

ABSTRACT: During embryonic development, GABAergic interneurons, a main inhibitory component in the cerebral cortex, migrate tangentially from the ganglionic eminence (GE) to cerebral cortex. After reaching the cerebral cortex, they start to extend their neurites for constructing local neuronal circuits around the neonatal stage. Aberrations in migration or neurite outgrowth are implicated in neurological and psychiatric disorders such as epilepsy, schizophrenia and autism. Previous studies revealed that in the early phase of cortical development the neural population migrates tangentially from the GE in the telencephalon and several genes have been characterized as regulators of migration and specification of GABAergic interneurons. However, much less is known about the molecular mechanisms of GABAergic interneurons-specific maturation at later stages of development. Here, we performed genome-wide screening to identify genes related to the later stage by flow cytometry based-microarray (FACS-array) and identified 247 genes expressed in cortical GABAergic interneurons. Among them, Dgkg, a member of diacylglycerol kinase family, was further analyzed. Correlational analysis revealed that Dgkg is dominantly expressed in somatostatin (SST)-expressing GABAergic interneurons. The functional study of Dgkg using GE neurons indicated alteration in neurite outgrowth of GABAergic neurons. This study shows a new functional role for Dgkg in GABAergic interneurons as well as the identification of other candidate genes for their maturation.

Early emergence of cortical interneuron diversity in the mouse embryo

Project description:GABAergic interneurons play crucial roles in the regulation of neural circuit activity in the cerebral cortex. A hallmark of cortical interneurons is their remarkable structural and functional diversity, yet the molecular determinants and the precise timing underlying their diversification remain largely unknown. Here we use single-cell transcriptomics to identify distinct types of progenitor cells and newborn neurons in the ganglionic eminences, the embryonic proliferative regions that give rise to cortical interneurons. These embryonic precursors define temporally and spatially restricted transcriptional trajectories that unambiguously relate to specific classes of interneurons in the adult cerebral cortex. Our findings therefore suggest that interneuron diversity is already patent shortly after neurons become postmitotic through the acquisition of specific transcriptional programs that unfold over several weeks in the developing cortex

Individual Human Cortical Progenitors Can Produce Excitatory and Inhibitory Neurons

Project description:The cerebral cortex is a cellularly-complex structure comprised of a rich diversity of neuronal and glial cell types. Cortical neurons can be broadly categorized into two classes—glutamatergic excitatory neurons and GABAergic inhibitory interneurons. Previous developmental studies in rodents have led to the prevailing model that while excitatory neurons are born from progenitors located in the cortex, cortical interneurons are born from a separate population of progenitors located outside of the developing cortex in the ganglionic eminences1-5. However, the developmental potential of human cortical progenitors has not been thoroughly explored. Here we show that in addition to excitatory neurons and glia, human cortical progenitors are also capable of producing GABAergic neurons with the transcriptional characteristics and morphologies of cortical interneurons. By developing a cellular barcoding tool called “ScRNAseq-compatible Tracer for Identifying Clonal Relationships” (STICR), we were able to perform clonal lineage tracing of 1912 primary human cortical progenitors from six specimens and capture both the transcriptional identities and clonal relationships of their resulting progeny. A subpopulation of cortically-born GABAergic neurons were transcriptionally similar to cortical interneurons born from the caudal ganglionic eminence and these cells were frequently related to excitatory neurons and glia. Thus, our results demonstrate that individual human cortical progenitors can generate both excitatory neurons and cortical interneurons, providing a new framework for understanding the origins of neuronal diversity in the human cortex.

LFQ proteomics of mouse GABAergic interneurons during traumatic brain injury

Project description:Unilateral Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) causes functional disturbances of the neuronal networks spreading even to the undamaged cortical hemisphere. The phenomenon, referred to as transhemispheric diaschisis, is suggested to be mediated by an imbalance of the strength of glutamatergic, excitatory vs. GABAergic, inhibitory neurotransmission. Here we present evidence that a switch in expression of α Subunits of pore-forming L-Type voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC), by an expression of CaV1.3 and simultaneous ablation of CaV1.2 in GABAergic interneurons could balance early cortical disturbances manifested as contralateral hyperexcitability in the early phase after TBI. The switch of the VGCC alpha Subunits in GABAergic interneurons was detected using the GAD67-GFP (Glutamate Decarboxylase 67 – Green Fluorescent Protein) Knock-in mouse line. Mice received a TBI with a Controlled Cortical Impact (CCI) to the primary motor and somatosensory cortex at postnatal day 19-21 under anesthesia in vivo. Single GFP+ interneurons located in the undamaged, contralateral cortex were isolated by Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) and further analyzed by Mass Spectrometry (MS). The switch was associated with an increased excitability of Somatostatin (SST) interneurons and extracellular network activity in acute brain slices in Microelectrode Array (MEA) recordings, which could be restored in presence of isradipine (100 nM), which selectively blocks CaV1.3-containing VGCCs. These data suggest that a switch in alpha.subunits of VGCCs expressed on SST-positive interneurons stabilizes early hyperactivity of the contralateral cortical network at 72 h after TBI, thereby promoting an adaptive mechanism to counterbalance post-traumatic hyperexcitabilty that might lead to epileptogenesis.

Distinct molecular programs regulate synapse specificity in cortical inhibitory circuits

Project description:How neuronal connections are established and organized in functional networks determines brain function. In the mouse cerebral cortex, different classes of GABAergic interneurons exhibit specific connectivity patterns that underlie their ability to shape temporal dynamics and information processing. Much progress has been made parsing interneuron diversity, yet the molecular mechanisms by which interneuron subtype-specific connectivity motifs emerge remain unclear. Here we investigate transcriptional dynamics in different classes of interneurons during the formation of cortical inhibitory circuits. We found that whether the interneurons synapse with pyramidal neurons on their dendrites, soma, or axon initial segment is determined by synaptic molecules that are expressed in a subtype-specific manner. Thus cell-specific molecular programs that unfold during early postnatal development underlie the connectivity patterns of cortical interneurons.

Sp9 regulates medial ganglionic eminence-derived cortical interneuron development

Project description:In the mammalian cortex, about 60% of GABAergic interneurons, mainly including parvalbumin-expressing (PV+) and somatostatin (SST+) interneurons are generated from the medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) in the subpallium and tangentially migrate to the cortex. Here we analyze the role of the Sp9 transcription factor in regulating the development of MGE-derived cortical interneurons. We show that SP9 is widely expressed in the MGE subventricular zone (SVZ) and in MGE-derived migrating interneurons. By analyzing Sp9 null and conditional mutant mice, we demonstrate that Sp9 promotes MGE progenitor proliferation in the SVZ and is required for the normal patterning of tangential migration and the laminar distribution of MGE-derived cortical GABAergic interneurons. Loss of Sp9 function results in a ~50% reduction of MGE-derived cortical interneurons, an ectopic aggregation of MGE-derived neurons in the embryonic ventral telencephalon, and an increased ratio of SST+/PV+ cortical interneurons. Finally, we provide evidence that Sp9 regulates MGE derived cortical interneuron development through promoting expression of the Lhx6 and Lhx8 transcription factors.

DOT1L deletion impairs the development of cortical Parvalbumin-expressing interneurons

Project description:Our group has reported that the histone methyltransferase DOT1L is necessary for proper cortical plate development and layer distribution of glutamatergic neurons, however, its specific role on cortical interneuron development has not yet been explored. Here, we demonstrate that DOT1L affects interneuron development in a cell-autonomous manner. Deletion of Dot1l in MGE-derived interneuron precursor cells results in an overall reduction and altered distribution of GABAergic interneurons in the cortical plate at postnatal day (P) 0. Furthermore, we observed an altered proportion of GABAergic interneurons in the cortex and striatum at P21 with a significant decrease in Parvalbumin (PVALB)-expressing interneurons. Altogether, our results indicate that reduced numbers of cortical interneurons upon DOT1L deletion results from altered postmitotic differentiation/maturation.

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.

Rapid conversion of fibroblasts into functional forebrain GABAergic interneurons by direct genetic reprogramming

Project description:Transplantation of GABAergic interneurons (INs) can sustain long-standing benefits in animal models of epilepsy and other neurological disorders. In a therapeutic perspective, a renewable source of functional GABAergic INs is needed. Here, we identified five factors (Foxg1, Sox2, Ascl1, Dlx5 and Lhx6) able to convert fibroblasts directly into induced GABAergic INs (iGABA-INs), displaying the molecular signature of telencephalic INs. The selected factors recapitulate in fibroblasts the activation of transcriptional networks required for the specification of GABAergic fate during telencephalon development. iGABA-INs exhibited progressively maturing firing patterns comparable to those of cortical INs, had synaptic currents and released GABA. Importantly, upon grafting in the hippocampus, iGABA-INs survived, matured and their optogenetic stimulation triggered GABAergic transmission and inhibited the activity of connected granule cells. The five factors also converted human cells into functional GABAergic neurons. These properties define iGABA-INs as a promising tool for disease modeling and cell-based therapeutic approaches. Comparison of iGABA-INs transcriptional profile with those of starting fibroblasts and GAD67-GFP+ cortical interneurons.
