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.

Project description:Purpose: Establish a high-throughput method to transcriptionally define projection neurons, VECTORseq, that reimagines transgenes expressed by widely used retrogradely infecting viruses as multiplexed RNA barcodes that are detected in single-cell sequencing. Methods: mRNA profiles of adult mouse brains Conclusions: Retrograde viruses express mRNA at levels detectable in single-cell sequencing. Different transgenes can be multiplexed in a single sequencing run. VECTORseq identifies both cortical and subcortical projection neurons. VECTORseq defined new superior colliculus and zona incerta projection populations.

Project description:The preoptic area (POA) of the hypothalamus is known to be crucial for sleep generation, but the spatial intermingling of sleep- and wake-promoting neurons makes it difficult to dissect the sleep control circuit. Here we identified a population of POA sleep-promoting neurons based on their projection target. Using a lentivirus for retrograde labeling with channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) followed by optogenetic manipulation and recording, we found that the POA GABAergic neurons projecting to the tuberomammillary nucleus (TMN) are both sleep active and sleep promoting. Cell type- and projection-specific rabies tracing revealed the presynaptic inputs to these neurons, including an amygdala GABAergic input that promotes wakefulness. Using single-cell RNA-seq, we identified several molecular markers for these neurons, and optogenetic activation of the POA neurons labeled by these markers confirmed their sleep-promoting effects. Together, these findings define a group of sleep-promoting neurons functionally, anatomically, and genetically.

Project description:Experience-dependent plasticity of synapses modulates information processing in neural circuits and is essential for cognitive functions. The genome, via non-coding enhancers, was proposed to control information processing and circuit plasticity by regulating experience-induced transcription of genes that modulate specific sets of synapses. To test this idea, we analyze here the cellular and circuit functions of the genomic mechanisms that control the experience-induced transcription of Igf1 (insulin-like growth factor 1) in vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) interneurons (INs) in the visual cortex of adult mice. We find that two sensory-induced enhancers selectively and cooperatively drive the activity-induced transcription of Igf1 to thereby promote GABAergic inputs onto VIP INs and to homeostatically control the ratio between excitation and inhibition (E/I ratio)—in turn, this restricts neural activity in VIP INs and principal excitatory neurons and maintains spatial frequency tuning. Thus, enhancer-mediated activity-induced transcription maintains sensory processing in the adult cortex via homeostatic modulation of E/I ratio.

Project description:Trauma-related disorders arise from inefficient fear extinction and have immeasurable social and economic costs. Here, we characterized mouse phenotypes that spontaneously show individual differences in adaptive or maladaptive fear extinction and, before the traumatic experience, we found that specific morphological, electrophysiological and transcriptomic patterns of fear matrix pyramidal neurons predispose to trauma-related disorders. Finally, by using an optogenetic approach we showed the possibility to rescue the inefficient fear extinction activating fear matrix infralimbic pyramidal neurons

Project description:Identification of the Early Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) Transriptome and its Associated Interactome in Activated Murine CD4 T Cells In an attempt to understand the biological role of this neuropeptide in the immune system, we choose CD4 T cells as a cellular system for identifying a VIP-induced transcriptome. Murine CD4 T cells were isolated and used to identify changes in gene expression in the presence of PMA/ionomycin (activated) for five hours with and without 10-7 M VIP. Balanced-block design, 6 biological replicates. PMA/ionomycin (activated) mouse CD4 T spleenocytes with VIP ligand (sample) vs. PMA/ionomycin (activated) mouse CD4 T spleenocytes without VIP ligand (control), dye-swaps.
