Project description:Spinal inhibitory interneurons play crucial roles in shaping motor output, but the molecular heterogeneity contained within cardinal spinal interneuron populations is unclear. This experiment was designed to identify genes enriched in the Engrailed1 (En1) population of ventral V1 inhibitory interneurons relative to the Ptf1a population of dorsal dI4/dILA interneurons, with the goal of identifying genetic markers for discrete V1 subpopulations.

Project description:We present a transcriptomic atlas of spinal V1 interneurons across postnatal development (P0, P14, P28, and P56) in the mouse using single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq). We also present transcriptomic data comparing V1 interneurons in En1 heterozygous and En1 KO mice at age P0 only.

Project description:Neuronal diversification is a fundamental step in the construction of functional neural circuits, yet how neurons generated from single progenitor domains acquire diverse subtype identities remains poorly understood. Here, we developed a stem cell-based system to model subtype diversification of V1 interneurons, a class of spinal neurons comprising four clades, each containing dozens of molecularly distinct neuronal subtypes. We demonstrate that V1 subtype diversity is not hard-wired and can be modified by extrinsic signals. Inhibition of Notch and activation of retinoid signaling results in a switch to MafA clade identity and enriches differentiation of Renshaw cells, a specialized MafA subtype that mediates recurrent inhibition of spinal motor neurons. We show that in vitro-generated Renshaw cells migrate into appropriate spinal laminae upon transplantation and form subtype-specific synapses with motor neurons. Our results demonstrate that stem cell-derived neuronal subtypes can be used to investigate mechanisms underlying neuronal subtype specification and circuit assembly.

Project description:The spinal cord contains neural networks that enable regionally-distinct motor outputs along the body axis. Nevertheless, it remains unclear how segment-specific motor computations are processed because the cardinal interneuron classes that control motor neurons appear uniform at each level of the spinal cord. V2a interneurons are essential to both fore and hindlimb movements and here we identified two major types that emerge during development: Type-I neurons marked by high Chx10 form recurrent networks with neighboring spinal neurons, and Type-II that downregulate Chx10 and project to supraspinal structures. Type-I and -II V2a interneurons are arrayed in counter-gradients and this network activates different patterns of motor output at cervical and lumbar levels. Single cell RNA-seq revealed Type-I and -II V2a neurons are each comprised of multiple subtypes. Our findings uncover a molecular and anatomical organization of V2a interneurons reminiscent of the orderly way motor neurons are divided into columns and pools.

Project description:Chronic stress is a major triggering factor for neuropsychiatric disorders including obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), a mental health condition characterized by motor stereotypies and striatal overactivation. However, the mechanisms at the cell- and microcircuit-level through which stress triggers motor symptoms is currently unknown. Here, we report that chronic stress (CS) in mice alters dorsomedial striatum (DMS) function, by affecting GABAergic interneuron populations and somatostatin-positive (SOM) interneurons in particular. Specifically, we show that CS impairs communication between SOM interneurons and medium spiny neurons, promoting striatal overactivation / disinhibition and increased motor output. Using probabilistic machine learning for analyzing animal behavior we further demonstrate that in vivo chemogenetic manipulation of SOM interneurons in DMS modulates motor phenotypes in stressed mice. Altogether, we propose a causal link between dysfunction of striatal SOM interneurons and motor symptoms in stress-related neuropsychiatric disorders.

Project description:Neural circuits in the spinal cord are composed of diverse sets of interneurons that play crucial roles in shaping motor output. Despite progress in revealing the cellular architecture of the spinal cord, the extent of cell type heterogeneity within interneuron populations remains unclear. Here, we present a single-nucleus transcriptomic atlas of spinal V1 interneurons across postnatal development. We find that the core molecular taxonomy distinguishing neonatal V1 interneurons perdures into adulthood, suggesting conservation of function across development. Moreover, we identify a key role for En1, a transcription factor that marks the V1 population, in specifying one unique subset of V1Pou6f2 interneurons. Loss of En1 selectively disrupts the frequency of rhythmic locomotor output but does not disrupt flexion/extension limb movement. Beyond serving as a molecular resource for this neuronal population, our study highlights how deep neuronal profiling provides an entry point for functional studies of specialized cell types in motor output.

Project description:The goals of this study is to compare transcriptome profiles (RNA-seq) of zebrafish V2a interneurons with regrown axon and those without regrown axon in the spinal segments rostral to the lesion after spinal cord injury. For purification of V2a interneurons with regrown axon, the fluorescent tracer Rhodamine Dextran (RD) was retrogradely applied to Tg(Chx10:GFP) fish at three or eight weeks post injury. Spinal cord segments rostral to the lesion site was collected from 20 fish at 3- or 8 wpi, and corresponding spinal cord segments from 20 uninjured fish were collected as control material. GFP+/RD+ and GFP+/RD- cells were FAC-sorted and subjected to RNA-sequencing. Total RNA was isolated using SMART-SeqTM v4 UltraTM Low Input RNA Kit for Sequencing (Clontech). Sequencing libraries (N=5-6) were generated using NEBNext UltraTM RNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina following the manufacturer’s instructions (NEB). We mapped about 40-80 million sequence reads per sample to the zebrafish genome and identified 42,370 transcripts in the zebrafish V2a interneurons in the spinal cord. Our study represents the detailed analysis of transcriptomes of zebrafish V2a interneurons with regrown axon and those without regrown axon in the spinal segments rostral to the lesion after spinal cord injury.

Project description:Here we compare the gene expression profiles of two distict, fluorescently identified neuronal populations, the motor neruons (MN) and the decending commissural interneurons (dCIN) of the neonatal rat spinal cord isolated with laser microdissection. These two populations participate in the neuronal networks in the spinal cord where they have destinct functions in shaping (dCINs) and transferring the output to the muscles (MNs) during locomotion. We wished to determine how the functinal differences in these nerurons are manifested at the gene expression level. Experiment Overall Design: Neurons were retrogradely labelled with rhodamine through application of the tracer to cut axons followed by incubation in oxygenated Ringer solution. Spinal cord were then snap frozen, cryosectioned and fluorescent single cells were laser dissected into a collector tube to a total of ca. 50-200 cells pr sample. RNA was then extracted, two round amplified and hybridized to Affymatrix RNU-34 chips. 22 samples were hybridized onto chips, 7 MNs, 7 CINS and 8 MIX.
