Molecular profiling of prelimbic projections to NAc, BLA, and VTA using vTRAP

ABSTRACT: Translational profiling of prelimbic cortical projections to nucleus accumbens, basolateral amygdala, and ventral tegmental area was performed. Studies were performed using AAV5-IV-GFPL10 (in prelimbic cortex) in tandem with CAV2-Cre (in the projection target), which enables rapid, projection-specific translational profiling.

Optogenetic Stimulation of Prelimbic Pyramidal Neurons Maintains Fear Memories and Modulates Amygdala Pyramidal Neuron Transcriptome

Project description:The suppression of fear memory in the absence of danger (fear extinction) requires coordinated neural activity within the amygdala and medial prefrontal (prelimbic and infralimbic) cortex. Any behavior has a transcriptomic signature that is modified by environmental experiences, and specific genes are involved in functional plasticity and synaptic wiring during fear memory and extinction. In the present study, we investigated the effects of optogenetic manipulations of prelimbic pyramidal neurons on amygdala gene expression to analyze the specific transcriptional pathways involved in fear extinction. To this aim, transgenic mice (Thy1-COP4) having cortical and amygdala pyramidal neurons optogenetically excitable were (or not) fear-conditioned. During the extinction phase, the mice received optogenetic (or sham) stimulations to maintain the activation of the prelimbic pyramidal neurons and impair fear extinction. At the end of behavioral testing, electrophysiological (Excitatory Post-Synaptic Currents) and morphological (spinogenesis) correlates were evaluated in the pyramidal neurons of prelimbic cortex. Furthermore, transcriptomic cell-specific RNA-analyses (differential gene expression profiling and functional enrichment analyses) were performed in amygdala pyramidal neurons. Results demonstrate that pyramidal neurons of prelimbic cortex are involved in modulation of the fear responses during extinction phase and their optogenetic stimulation in fear-conditioned mice results in strong modifications of the amygdala transcriptome. Understanding the transcriptomic architecture of fear extinction may facilitate the comprehension of fear-related disorders.

Reactivating a positive feedback loop VTA-BLA-NAc circuit associated with positive experience ameliorates the attenuated reward sensitivity induced by chronic stress.

Project description:Both genetic predisposition and life events, particularly life stress, are thought to increase the risk for depression. Reward sensitivity appears to be attenuated in major depressive disorder (MDD), suggesting deficits in reward processing in these patients. We identified the VTA-BLA-NAc circuit as being activated by sex reward, and the VTA neurons that respond to sex reward are mostly dopaminergic. Acute or chronic reactivation of this circuit ameliorates the reward insensitivity induced by chronic restraint stress. Our histological and electrophysiological results show that the VTA neuron subpopulation responding to restraint stress, predominantly GABAergic neurons, inhibits the responsiveness of VTA dopaminergic neurons to reward stimuli, which is probably the mechanism by which stress modulates the reward processing neural circuits and subsequently disrupts reward-related behaviours. Furthermore, we found that the VTA-BLA-NAc circuit is a positive feedback loop. Blocking the projections from the BLA to the NAc associated with sex reward increases the excitability of VTA GABAergic neurons and decreases the excitability of VTA dopaminergic neurons, while activating this pathway decreases the excitability of VTA GABAergic neurons and increases the excitability of VTA dopaminergic neurons, which may be the cellular mechanism by which the VTA-BLA-NAc circuit associated with sex reward ameliorates the attenuated reward sensitivity induced by chronic stress.

Encoding of Contextual Fear Memory Requires De Novo Proteins in the Prelimbic Cortex

Project description:Time dependent coordinated hippocampal-prefrontal cortical interactions are required for the long-term storage of memories. However, the role of prefrontal cortex (PFC) in encoding of long-term memories remains elusive. Here, we discover a critical role of PFC in the encoding of contextual memories in mice. We demonstrate that specific pools of mRNAs are translated in the PFC following one and six hours of behavioral training. Moreover, disruption of protein synthesis in the prelimbic region of PFC immediately after training inhibits encoding contextual fear memories, whereas disruption at six hours after training is ineffective. Thus, early protein synthesis in the PFC is necessary and critical for the encoding of contextual fear memories. These findings establish key role for the prelimbic cortex in encoding of contextual memories.

Gene expression in the human VTA of cases with alcohol abuse

Project description:Drugs of abuse including nicotine and alcohol elicit their effect by stimulating the mesocorticolimbic dopaminergic system. There is a high incidence of nicotine dependence in alcoholics. To date only limited data is available on the molecular mechanism underlying the action of alcohol and nicotine in the human brain. This study utilised gene expression screening to identify genes sensitive to chronic alcohol abuse within the ventral tegmental area of the human brain.
