Dopamine D2L Receptor Deficiency Causes Stress Vulnerability through 5-HT1A Receptor Dysfunction in Serotonergic Neurons

ABSTRACT: Mental disorders are caused by genetic and environmental factors. We here show that deficiency of an isoform of dopamine D2 receptor (D2R), D2LR, causes psychosocial stress vulnerability in mouse. This occurs through dysfunction of type 1A serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) receptor (5-HT1AR) on serotonergic neurons in the mouse brain. Exposure to forced swim stress significantly increased anxiety- and depressive-like behaviors in D2LR knockout (D2LR-KO) male mice as compared with wild-type mice. Treatment with 8-OH-DPAT, a 5-HT1AR agonist, failed to alleviate the stress-induced behaviors in D2LR-KO mice. In forced swim-stressed D2LR-KO mice, 5-HT release in the medial prefrontal cortex was elevated and the expression of genes related to 5-HT levels was up-regulated by the transcription factor PET1 in the dorsal raphe nucleus. Notably, D2LR formed a heteromer with 5-HT1AR in serotonergic neurons, thereby suppressing 5-HT1AR–activated G-protein–activated inwardly rectifying potassium (GIRK) conductance in D2LR-KO serotonergic neurons. Finally, D2LR overexpression in serotonergic neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus alleviated stress vulnerability observed in D2LR-KO mice. Taken together, we conclude that disruption of the negative feedback regulation by the D2LR/5-HT1A heteromer causes stress vulnerability.

STAT3 in the dorsal raphe gates behavioural reactivity and regulates gene networks associated with psychopathology

Project description:The signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signalling pathway is activated through phosphorylation by Janus kinases in response to a diverse set of immunogenic and non-immunogenic triggers. Several distinct lines of evidence propose an intricate involvement of STAT3 in neural function relevant to behaviour in health and disease. However, in part due to the pleiotropic effects resulting from its DNA binding activity and the consequent regulation of expression of a variety of genes with context-dependent cellular consequences, the precise nature of STAT3 involvement in the neural mechanisms underlying psychopathology remains incompletely understood. Here, we focussed on the midbrain serotonergic system, a central hub for the regulation of emotions, to examine the relevance of STAT3 signalling for emotional behaviour in mice by selectively knocking down raphe STAT3 expression using germline genetic (STAT3 KO) and viral-mediated approaches. Mice locally lacking STAT3 presented with reduced negative behavioural reactivity and a blunted response to the sensitising effects of amphetamine, alongside alterations in midbrain neuronal firing activity of serotonergic neurons and transcriptional control of gene networks relevant for neuropsychiatric disorders. Viral knockdown of dorsal raphe (DR) STAT3 phenocopied the behavioural alterations of STAT3 KO mice, excluding a developmentally determined effect and suggesting that disruption of STAT3 signalling in the DR of adult mice is sufficient for the manifestation of behavioural traits relevant to psychopathology. Collectively, these results suggest DR STAT3 as a molecular gate for the control of behavioural reactivity, constituting a mechanistic link between the immune system, serotonergic neurotransmission and psychopathology.

Gene expression differences between Gata2cko and wt mouse rhombomere 1

Project description:During development, rhombomere 1 gives rise to a multitude of cell types, including serotonergic as well as glutamatergic neurons that populate the raphe nuclei. Transcription factor Gata2 has been shown to regulate the development of the serotonergic neurons in the rhombomere 1. To further understand the role and targets of Gata2 in the rhombomere 1 during development, we used cDNA microarrays to compare gene expression in the embryonic day 12.5 (E12.5) rhombomere 1 tissues extracted from wild-type and Gata2 mutant embryos.

An adult-stage transcriptional program for survival of serotonergic connectivity

Project description:Neurons must function for decades of life but how these non-dividing cells are preserved is poorly understood. Using mouse serotonin (5-HT) neurons as a model, we discovered a novel adult-stage transcriptional program specialized to ensure the preservation of serotonergic connectivity. We uncover a switch in Lmx1b and Pet1 transcription factor function from controlling embryonic axonal growth to sustaining a transcriptomic signature of serotonergic connectivity comprising functionally diverse synaptic and axonal genes. Adult-stage deficiency of Lmx1b and Pet1 caused slowly progressive degeneration of 5-HT synapses and axons, increased susceptibility of 5-HT axons to neurotoxic injury, and abnormal stress responses. Axon degeneration occurred in a die back pattern and was accompanied by accumulation of alpha-synuclein and APP in spheroids and mitochondrial fragmentation without cell body loss. Our findings suggest neuronal connectivity is transcriptionally protected by maintenance of connectivity transcriptomes; progressive decay of such transcriptomes may contribute to age-related diseases of brain circuitry.

Transcriptional profiling of human serotonergic neurons in vitro

Project description:Human serotonergic neurons are derived using published transdifferentiation protocols. Human Fibroblasts correspond to human fibroblasts (from Line#1, Coriell bought (AG08498)). Samples labeled human neurons or induced neurons (iN) correspond to neurons transdifferentiated from fibroblasts using two transcription factors, as previously described (#1-AG08498 or #2:ERF-1, Erlangen Germany, a line given to us by collaborators) into primarily glutamatergic neruons. Samples labled 5-HT neurons or serotonergic neurons or iSN correspond to serotonergic neurons derived from the stated fibroblast lines, using an additional four transcription factors. For transdifferentiation of iN and iSN, fibroblasts were made to overexpress the stated transcription factors in a doxycycline inducible manner for up to 3 weeks, and then neurons are sorted out and collected directly into Trizol for RNA preparation and sequencing. The non-transdifferentiated fibroblast lines were collected in bulk withtout differentiation into neurons. The line number corresponds to the same fibroblast line either being transdifferentiated into iN or iSN, as labeled - for direct and groupwise comparison.

Generation of caudal-type serotonin neurons and hindbrain fate organoids from hPSCs

Project description:Serotonin (5-HT) neurons, the major components of the raphe nuclei, arise from ventral hindbrain progenitors. Based on the anatomical location and axonal projection, 5-HT neurons are coarsely divided into rostral and caudal groups. Here, we propose a novel strategy to generate hindbrain 5-HT neurons from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), which involves the formation of ventral-type neural progenitor cells (NPCs) and stimulation of the hindbrain 5-HT neural development. A caudalizing agent, retinoid acid (RA), was used to direct the cells into the hindbrain cell fate. Approximately 30-40% of hPSCs successfully developed into 5-HT-expressing neurons using our protocol, with the majority acquiring a caudal rhombomere identity (r5-8). We further modified our monolayer differentiation system to generate 5-HT neuron-enriched hindbrain-like organoids. We have also suggested downstream applications of our 5-HT monolayer and organoid cultures to study neuronal response to gut microbiota. Our methodology could become a powerful tool for future studies related to 5-HT neurotransmission.

Attenuated palmitoylation of serotonin receptor 5-HT1A in brain affects receptor functions and triggers depressive symptoms

Project description:The serotonergic system and in particular serotonin 1A receptor (5-HT1AR) are critically implicated in major depressive disorder (MDD), although underlying mechanisms remain enigmatic. Here we demonstrated that 5-HT1AR is palmitoylated in human and rodent brains and identified ZDHHC21 as a major palmitoyl-transferase, whose depletion reduced palmitoylation and consequently signaling functions of 5-HT1AR. Two rodent models for depression show reduced brain ZDHHC21 expression in conjunction with attenuated 5-HT1AR palmitoylation. Moreover, selective knock-down of ZDHHC21 in murine forebrain by itself sufficed to provoke depressive symptoms, demonstrating a causal relationship between 5-HT1AR palmitoylation and depression. Regarding the underlying mechanism, we identified the microRNA miR-30e as a negative regulator of Zdhhc21 expression. By analysis of the post-mortem samples from suicide MDD victims we also found ZDHHC21 expression as well as palmitoylation of 5-HT1AR to be specifically reduced within the prefrontal cortex (PFC), a brain area critically involved in the pathogenesis of depressive symptoms. Our study provides evidence for transcriptional downregulation of 5-HT1AR palmitoylation as a central mechanism in the etiology of depression and even suicide, in effect making the restoration of 5-HT1AR palmitoylation a promising clinical strategy for the treatment of major depressive disorder.

Brainstem Proteomics in Epilepsy and Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy

Project description:Brainstem nuclei dysfunction is implicated in sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). In animal models, deficient serotonergic activity is associated with seizure-induced respiratory arrest. In humans, glia are decreased in the ventrolateral medullary pre-Botzinger complex that modulates respiratory rhythm, as well as in the medial raphe that modulates respiration and arousal. Finally, SUDEP cases have decreased midbrain volume. To understand the potential role of brainstem nuclei in SUDEP, we evaluated molecular signaling pathways using localized proteomics in microdissected midbrain dorsal raphe and medullary raphe serotonergic nuclei, as well as the ventrolateral medulla in brain tissue from epilepsy patients who died of SUDEP and other causes in diverse epilepsy syndromes, and non-epilepsy control cases

Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Alleviate Depressive and Anxiety-like Behaviors via a Lung Vagal-to-Brain Axis in Male Mice

Project description:Major depressive disorder (MDD) is one of the most common and disabling mental disorders, and current strategies remain inadequate. Although mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have shown beneficial effects in experimental models of depression, underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, using murine depression models, we demonstrated that MSCs could alleviate depressive and anxiety-like behaviors not due to a reduction in proinflammatory cytokines, but rather activation of dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) neurons. Mechanistically, peripheral delivery of MSCs activated pulmonary innervating vagal sensory neurons, which projected to the nucleus tractus solitarius, inducing the release of 5-HT in DRN. Furthermore, MSC-secreted brain-derived neurotrophic factor activated lung sensory neurons through tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB), and inhalation of a TrkB agonist also achieved significant therapeutic effects in male mice. This study reveals a role of peripheral MSCs in regulating central nervous system function and demonstrates a potential "lung vagal-to-brain axis" strategy for MDD.
