STAT3S727 Phosphorylation in VTA Dopaminergic Neurons Competed by O-GlcNAcylation Regulates Acute Stress-Induced Anxiety and Reward Inhibition

ABSTRACT: Acute stress can inhibit the activity of dopaminergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA), leading to increased anxiety and reduced sensitivity to natural rewards. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this effect remain unclear. Our study shows that acute restraint stress increases the phosphorylation of the transcription factor STAT3 at Ser727 and Tyr705 in VTA dopaminergic neurons, enhancing its transcriptional activity. This modulation contributes to the inhibition of dopaminergic neuron activity, heightened anxiety, and reduced reward sensitivity. Furthermore, acute stress also promotes O-GlcNAcylation in VTA neurons, which competes with STAT3 Ser727 but not Tyr705 phosphorylation and modulates its transcriptional activity, leading to alterations in GABA receptor expression. This reveals a complex molecular feedback mechanism where O-GlcNAcylation regulates STAT3 activity to maintain brain homeostasis during acute stress responses.

Pde4b-regulated cAMP signaling pathway in the AUDGABA-S1TrSst circuit underlies acute stress-induced anxiety-like behavior

Project description:Acute stress-induced anxiety is an important way for animals to avoid danger. However, neural and molecular mechanisms that underlie control of anxiety behavior are largely elusive. Here, we find acute physical stress activates a large number of neurons in the primary somatosensory cortex, trunk region (S1Tr). Single-cell sequencing reveals the S1Tr c-fos positive neurons activated by acute stress are largely GABAergic somatostatin (Sst) neurons. These S1TrSst neurons activated by acute stress showed desensitization during subsequent anxiety-like behavior tests. Selective inhibition or apoptosis of S1TrSst neurons mimics acute stress effects to induce anxiety. In contrast, selective activation of S1TrSst neurons reduced acute stress-induced anxiety. Furthermore, we demonstrate that S1TrSst cells receive inputs from the secondary auditory cortex, dorsal area (AUD) GABAergic neurons to modulate acute stress-induced anxiety. Finally, from the results of spatial transcriptome sequencing and precise projection-specificity Pde4b protein knockdown strategy, we show that acute stress reduces Pde4b-regulated cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling pathway activity in the AUDGABA-S1TrSst projections and resulting in a hypoactivity of S1TrSst neurons during subsequent behavioral tests. Our study unveils a neural and molecular mechanism for acute stress-elicited anxiety and affords a theoretical basis for clinical treatment of anxiety disorders.

Downregulated Kcnd3 in the PSTh is vital for CSDS-induced anxiety-like behavior

Project description:Anxiety disorders seriously damage our mental health, with chronic stress identified as a major etiologic factor. However, the precise neural mechanisms underlying the transition from chronic stress to anxiety remain unclear. In this study, with the chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) paradigm in mice, we verified a critical role of the parasubthalamic nucleus (PSTh) in anxiety regulation and found that CSDS results in a lasting increase in PSTh neuronal activity. Here, we explored the molecular substrates responsible for the increased intrinsic excitability of PSTh neurons following CSDS by RNA-sequence experiments. We found that CSDS downregulated Kcnd3 in PSTh neurons. Kcnd3 knockdown enhanced PSTh neuronal activity and produced anxiogenic effects in unstressed naïve mice, whereas overexpression of Kcnd3 in PSTh neurons dampened neuronal over-excitability and alleviated anxiety-like behavior in CSDS animals. Taken together, our results provide a cellular mechanism that the downregulated Kcnd3 induced by CSDS mediates intrinsic excitability of PSTh neurons, leading to anxiety-like behavior.

A neuronal transcription factor is required in the prefrontal cortex for transcriptional and behavioral adaptation to chronic stress

Project description:Stressful life events increase risk for depression, yet the molecular mechanisms by which stress is encoded in the brain to induce maladaptive behaviors are not well understood. Emerging evidence has shown that stress dysregulates gene expression in the brain, yet the cellular origin of these gene expression alterations has yet to be determined. To address this question, we used a chronic unpredictable stress (CUS) paradigm that drives depressive- and anxiety-like behaviors in male and female mice and single-nucleus transcriptomics to identify cell type-specific gene expression changes in the cortex. We find that neocortical excitatory neurons are particularly vulnerable to chronic stress exposure, and that CUS reprograms these cells to decrease transcription of synaptic genes involved in glutamatergic neurotransmission. We identify the ubiquitously expressed factor, Yin Yang 1 (YY1), as a key driver of the transcriptional reprogramming observed in excitatory neurons isolated from CUS mice. Selective depletion of YY1 in excitatory neurons of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) increases the stress sensitivity of mice, inducing depressive- and anxiety-related behaviors following an abbreviated stress exposure and deregulating expression of key stress-related genes in the PFC. Importantly, we find that YY1 functions in both males and females to facilitate stress coping. This work establishes a novel mechanism underlying chronic stress-induced behavior, in which epigenetic responses to stress in PFC excitatory neurons are mediated by stress-dependent YY1 activity. Our findings demonstrate how post-mitotic neurons adapt to stress experience and identify a novel molecular target that is generalizable to males and females for therapeutic treatment of stress-related neuropsychiatric disorders.
