Spatial gene expression gradients underlie prominent heterogeneity of CA1 pyramidal neurons

ABSTRACT: Tissue and organ function has been conventionally understood in terms of the interactions among discrete and homogeneous cell types. This approach has proven difficult in neuroscience due to the marked diversity across different neuron classes, but may also be further hampered by prominent within-class variability. Here, we considered a well-defined, canonical neuronal population â hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells â and systematically examined the extent and spatial rules of transcriptional heterogeneity. Using next-generation RNA sequencing, we identified striking variability in CA1 PCs, such that the differences along the dorsal-ventral axis rivaled differences across distinct pyramidal neuron classes. This variability emerged from a spectrum of continuous expression gradients, producing a profile consistent with a multifarious continuum of cells. This work reveals an unexpected amount of variability within a canonical and narrowly defined neuronal population and suggests that continuous, within-class heterogeneity may be an important feature of neural circuits. Hippocampal RNA profiles were generated by deep sequencing on Illumina HiSeq 2500, with three biological replicates per population

Functionally diverse dendritic mRNAs rapidly associate with ribosomes following a novel experience

Project description:The subcellular localization and translation of messenger RNA (mRNA) supports functional differentiation between cellular compartments. In neuronal dendrites, local translation of mRNA provides a rapid and specific mechanism for synaptic plasticity and memory formation, and might be involved in the pathophysiology of certain brain disorders. Despite the importance of dendritic mRNA translation, little is known about which mRNAs can be translated in dendrites in vivo and when their translation occurs. Here we collect ribosome-bound mRNA from the dendrites of CA1 pyramidal neurons in the adult mouse hippocampus. We find that dendritic mRNA rapidly associates with ribosomes following a novel experience consisting of a contextual fear conditioning trial. High throughput RNA sequencing followed by machine learning classification reveals an unexpected breadth of ribosome-bound dendritic mRNAs, including mRNAs expected to be entirely somatic. Our findings are in agreement with a mechanism of synaptic plasticity that engages the acute local translation of functionally diverse dendritic mRNAs.

Cell type-specific gene expression profiling of Drosophila neurons [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Gene expression profiling of nuclei isolated from genetically defined neuronal subpopulations of the adult Drosophila brain. Gene expression profiles were generated from nuclei isolated from all neurons (R57C10-GAL4), Kenyon cells (OK107-GAL4), and octopaminergic (Tdc2-GAL4) neurons in the adult Drosophila head using a method similar to INTACT (Deal and Henikoff, 2010; Steinner et al., 2012). Sequencing was performed with an Illumina HiSeq 2000.

Zbtb20-mediated repression of genes in developing CA1 pyramidal neurons

Project description:The transcriptional repressor Zbtb20 is essential for specification of hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons. Moreover, ectopic expression of Zbtb20 is sufficient to transform subicular and retrosplenial areas of D6/Zbtb20S mice to CA1. We used microarrays to identify genes that are repressed by Zbtb20 in developing CA1 pyramidal neurons in the CA1-transformed cortex of D6/Zbtb20S mice. For RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays, we isolated the CA1-transformed subiculum and retrosplenial cortex from postnatal day 1 D6/Zbtb20S mice, as well as corresponding areas from their wildtype littermates. Total RNA was extracted using the RNeasy Lipid Tissue Mini Kit (Qiagen). Each RNA sample represents a pool of RNA obtained from dissected tissues of seven animals.

Localization of the Rb tumor suppressor in MEFs during reprogramming to iPS and the consequence of Rb loss on the transcriptional profile and histone landscape in these cells

Project description:The reprogramming of differentiated cells to an embryonic stem cell-like state provides a powerful system to explore fundamental mechanisms of development, including how mammalian cells establish and maintain pluripotency and long-term self-renewal capability. Based on the similarities between embryonic stem cells and cancer cells, we investigated the potential role of the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor and cell cycle regulator RB in the reprogramming of fibroblasts into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells). Herein we demonstrate that loss of RB function leads to both an acceleration of the reprogramming process and the generation of more iPS clones from fibroblasts. This effect is largely due to a restrictive role for RB at the early stages of reprogramming. Surprisingly, however, RB inactivation does not enhance the formation of iPS clones by accelerating the proliferation of cells undergoing reprogramming. Rather, a genome-wide investigation of RB targets indicates that RB binds to regulatory regions of pluripotency genes such as Sox2 and Oct4 and contributes to their full repression in differentiated cells. This effect correlates with the maintenance of a repressive chromatin structure at these loci. Accordingly, Rb-deficient fibroblasts can be reprogrammed into iPS cells even in the absence of exogenous Sox2, which is normally required to initiate reprogramming from fibroblasts. These experiments identify a novel barrier in the reprogramming process, mainly the repression of certain pluripotency genes such as Sox2 by RB, which provides a new link between tumor suppressor mechanisms and cellular reprogramming.

Hippocampal CA1 Pyramidal Neurons Display Sublayer and Circuitry Dependent Degenerative Expression Profiles in Aged Female Down Syndrome Mice

Project description:People with Down syndrome (DS) have intellectual disability (ID) and develop hallmark Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology during midlife. There are several circuits underlying memory and executive function in the DS and AD brain that are particularly vulnerable and degenerate early in disease, most notably the septohippocampal circuit and the trisynaptic loop in the hippocampus. A fundamental lack of knowledge exists as to the etiology and mechanisms of disease progression within these critical circuits vulnerable to degeneration in DS, AD, and relevant models. This is compounded by new evidence that suggests spatial localization of neurons has profound effects on activity and innervation within the hippocampal CA1 region. We postulated gene expression changes in a DS mouse model, at a time that these circuits of input to the CA1 are degraded, would have a significant effect on gene expression in CA1 pyramidal neurons. Further, this dysfunction may be specific to spatial localization and innervation. Laser capture microscopy on pyramidal neurons from CA1 was performed, isolating the entire CA1 pyramidal neuron layer, which was compared to select populations of deep and superficial pyramidal neurons from CA1a (distal CA1, adjacent to the subiculum). RNA-seq and bioinformatic analysis was performed where profound differences in dysregulation in the DS mouse model based on their spatial location and postulated circuitry were examined.

Single‐cell transcriptomic analysis of mouse CA1 inhibitory neurons

Project description:We studied the transcriptomes of mouse CA1 inhibitory cells. Novel clustering methods identified all 23 previously described CA1 inhibitory types, while also suggesting 6 new inhibitory classes. Latent‐factor analysis revealed a common continuum of expression of many genes within and between classes, which we hypothesized correlates with a continuum from faster‐spiking cells that proximally target pyramidal cells, to slower active cells targeting pyramidal distal dendrites or interneurons.
