Project description:Use of addictive substances often creates powerful and enduring associations with external cues that act as relapse triggers in individuals recovering from a substance use disorder (SUD). In the reward-associated brain region, the nucleus accumbens (NAc), drug use or drug-associated cue exposure activates a subset of D1 dopamine receptor-expressing medium spiny neurons (D1-MSNs), which typically promotes drug seeking, and a smaller subset of D2 dopamine receptor-expressing MSNs (D2-MSNs), which typically opposes drug seeking. The activity-regulated transcription factor, Neuronal PAS Domain Protein 4 (NPAS4), is activated in a small subset of NAc neurons during cocaine conditioning, and NAc NPAS4 is required for drug-context memories. Using a new Npas4-TRAP mouse combined with chemogenetics, we found that the during cocaine conditioning, the NPAS4-positive ensemble is required for drug-context associations. Single-cell transcriptomic analyses and in situ hybridization of NAc tissues from drug-conditioned mice revealed that NPAS4 is expressed predominantly in MSNs, and using cell type-specific molecular genetic approaches, we found that NPAS4 in D2-MSNs, but not D1-MSNs, was required for both drug-context associations and cue-reinstated cocaine seeking. Similarly, NPAS4 in NAc D2-MSNs, but not D1-MSNs, blocked cocaine experience-dependent strengthening of glutamatergic prefrontal cortical (PFC) inputs onto D2-MSNs. Analysis of differential gene expression in D2-MSNs revealed that NPAS4 and cocaine conditioning influence a gene expression program associated with synapses, dendrites, neuronal projections, dopamine, and cocaine. Together, our data reveal that NPAS4 functions during active cocaine use to maintain the imbalance of D1-MSN:D2-MSN activation and cue-induced drug seeking by suppressing excitatory drive onto relapse-opposing NAc D2-MSN circuits.

Project description:MicroRNA regulates protein expression of cells by repressing translation of specific target messenger transcripts. Loss of the neuron specific microRNA miR-128 in Dopamine D1-receptor expressing neurons in the murine striatum (D1-MSNs) lead to increased neuronal excitability, locomotor hyperactivity and fatal epilepsy. To examine expression changes in the absence of miR-128 in D1-MSNs, we used mice expressing EGFP-tagged ribosomes in D1-MSNs with either D1-MSN-specific homozygous deletion of miR-128-2 locus or no deletion. Transcripts co-immunoprecipitated with tagged ribosomes were analyzed by microarray. 9 mutant animals ( D1-MSN-tagged ribosome; D1-MSN specific miR-128-2 homozygous deletion) and 7 age matched littermate control animals (D1-MSN-tagged ribosome only).

Project description:The striatum is the main input structure of the basal ganglia, receiving information from the cortex and the thalamus and consisting of D1- and D2- medium spiny neurons (MSNs). D1-MSNs and D2-MSNs are essential for motor control and cognitive behaviors and have implications in Parkinson’s Disease. In the present study, we demonstrated that Sp9 positive progenitors produced both D1-MSNs and D2-MSNs and that Sp9 expression was rapidly downregulated in postmitotic D1-MSNs. Furthermore, we found that sustained Sp9 expression in lateral ganglionic eminence (LGE) progenitor cells and their descendants led to promoting D2-MSNs identity and repressing D1-MSNs identity during striatal development. As a result, sustained Sp9 expression resulted in an imbalance between D1-MSNs and D2-MSNs in the mouse striatum. In addition, the fate-changed D2 like-MSNs survived normally in adulthood. Taken together, our finding supported that Sp9 was sufficient to promote D2-MSNs identity and repress D1-MSNs identity, and Sp9 was a negative regulator of D1-MSNs fate.

Project description:Background: Depression is the leading cause of disability which produces enormous health and economic burdens. In the reward circuitry, the nucleus accumbens (NAc) is a key brain region of depression pathophysiology, possibly based on differential activities of D1- or D2-type medium spiny neurons (MSNs). Methods: To separate D1- or D2-MSN specific transcriptomes in the NAc, RiboTag (RT) mice were crossed with D1- or D2-Cre lines and subjected to chronic social defeat stress. The cell-type specifically tagged ribosome-mRNA complex was pulled down by anti-HA antibody, and purified RNAs were subjected to RNA sequencing. Sequencing data were analyzed and defined differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were validated with RNAscope and viral overexpression in vivo. Results: Both MSN subtypes express distinct gene expression profiles according to stress groups. The DEGs are correlated with depression relevant gene ontology terms. Behavioral susceptibility and resilience are also correlated with subsets of DEGs, especially in D1-MSNs. Conclusions: Distinct subsets of genes are modulated in a cell-type specific manner in the NAc of depressed mice. Here we provided valuable transcriptome data sets for future studies on depression.

Project description:Isolation of cell populations is untangling complex biological interactions, but studies comparing methodologies lack in vivo complexity and draw limited conclusions about the types of transcripts identified by each technique. Furthermore, few studies compare FACS-based techniques to ribosomal affinity purification, and none do so genome-wide. We addressed this gap by systematically comparing nuclear-FACS, whole cell-FACS, and RiboTag affinity purification in the context of D1 or D2 dopamine receptor-expressing medium spiny neuron (MSN) subtypes of the nucleus accumbens (NAc), a key brain reward region. We find that nuclear-FACS-seq generates a substantially longer list of differentially expressed genes between these cell types, and a significantly larger number of neuropsychiatric GWAS hits than the other two methods. RiboTag-seq has much lower coverage of the transcriptome than the other methods, but very efficiently distinguishes D1- and D2-MSNs. We also demonstrate differences between D1- and D2-MSNs with respect to RNA localization, suggesting fundamental cell type differences in mechanisms of transcriptional regulation and subcellular transport of RNAs. Together, these findings guide the field in selecting the RNAseq method that best suits the scientific questions under investigation.

Project description:Cocaine use disorder is a significant public health issue without an effective pharmacological treatment. Successful treatments are hindered in part by an incomplete understanding of the molecular mechanisms in the brain that underly long-lasting maladaptive plasticity and addiction-like behaviors. In this study, we leverage a large RNA-sequencing dataset to generate gene co-expression networks across 6 interconnected regions of the brain’s reward circuitry from mice that underwent saline or cocaine self-administration, followed by a 24-hour or 30-day withdrawal period and a saline or cocaine challenge. We identify phosphodiesterase 1b (Pde1b), a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of cAMP and cGMP, as one of the top hub genes within a nucleus accumbens (NAc) gene module that was bioinformatically associated with addiction-like behavior. Within Drd1- and Drd2-expressing medium spiny neurons (D1 and D2 MSNs) in the NAc, we found that chronic cocaine selectively upregulates Pde1b expression in D2 MSNs. Using a virus-mediated overexpression approach, we demonstrate that Pde1b in the NAc influences cocaine self-administration behavior, locomotor responses, electrophysiological properties of MSNs, and cocaine-induced transcriptomic adaptations in a cell-type- and sex-dependent manner. Together, we identify novel gene modules across the brain’s reward circuitry associated with addiction-like behavior and explore the role of Pde1b in regulating the molecular, cellular, and behavioral response to cocaine.

Project description:The striatum is primarily composed of two types of medium spiny neurons (MSNs) expressing either D1- or D2-type dopamine receptors. However, the fate determination of these two types of neurons is not fully understood. Here, we found that D1 MSNs undergo fate switching to D2 MSNs in the absence of Zfp503. Furthermore, scRNA-seq revealed that the transcription factor Zfp503 affects the differentiation of these progenitor cells in the lateral ganglionic eminence (LGE). More importantly, we found that the transcription factors Sp8/9, which are required for the differentiation of D2 MSNs, are repressed by Zfp503.

Abstract:
The phasic release of dopamine in the striatum determines
various aspects of reward and action selection, but the
dynamics of dopamine effect on intracellular signalling remains
poorly understood. We used genetically-encoded FRET biosensors
in striatal brain slices to quantify the effect of transient
dopamine on cAMP or PKA-dependent phosphorylation level, and
computational modelling to further explore the dynamics of this
signalling pathway. Medium-sized spiny neurons (MSNs), which
express either D1 or D2 dopamine receptors, responded to
dopamine by an increase or a decrease in cAMP, respectively.
Transient dopamine showed similar sub-micromolar efficacies on
cAMP in both D1 and D2 MSNs, thus challenging the commonly
accepted notion that dopamine efficacy is much higher on D2
than on D1 receptors. However, in D2 MSNs, the large decrease
in cAMP level triggered by transient dopamine did not translate
in a decrease in PKA-dependent phosphorylation level, owing to
the efficient inhibition of Protein Phosphatase 1 by DARPP-32.
Simulations further suggested that D2 MSNs can also operate in
a "tone-sensing" mode, allowing them to detect transient dips
in basal dopamine. Overall, our results show that D2 MSNs may
sense much more complex patterns of dopamine than previously
thought. This article is protected by copyright. All rights
