Basal and kainate-induced gene expression in A-CREB mouse hippocampi

ABSTRACT: The cAMP responsive element binding protein (CREB) pathway has been involved in two major cascades of gene expression regulating neuronal function. The first one presents CREB as a critical component of the molecular switch that control longlasting forms of neuronal plasticity and learning. The second one relates CREB to neuronal survival and protection. To investigate the role of CREB-dependent gene expression in neuronal plasticity and survival in vivo, we generated bitransgenic mice expressing A-CREB, an artificial peptide with strong and broad inhibitory effect on the CREB family, in forebrain neurons in a regulatable manner. The expression of ACREB in hippocampal neurons impaired L-LTP, reduced intrinsic excitability and the susceptibility to induced seizures, and altered both basal and activity-driven gene expression. In the long-term, the chronic inhibition of CREB function caused severe loss of neurons in the CA1 subfield as well as in other brain regions. Our experiments confirmed previous findings in CREB deficient mutants and revealed new aspects of CREB-dependent gene expression in the hippocampus supporting a dual role for CREB-dependent gene expression regulating intrinsic and synaptic plasticity and promoting neuronal survival. manufacturer's protocol.

Evidence for a rheostat that determines neuronal survival after traumatic brain injury

Project description:To investigate the determinants of neuronal survival after traumatic brain injury, we compared the transcriptional profiles of dying (Fluoro-Jade-positive) and immediately adjacent surviving (Fluoro-Jade-negative) neurons from the CA3 subfield of the rat hippocampus 24 hours after experimental TBI. We found that hippocampal neurons that survive TBI invariably express high levels of genes that have cellular functions involved in survival, regeneration, development, proliferation, neuronal plasticity such as cAMP response element binding protein (CREB), brain-derived-neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (MAPK1). Dying neurons express high levels of genes involved in aberrant cell cycle progression, immune response, inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis such as Interleukin-1β (IL-1β), caspase 3 and B-cell linker (BLNK). We conclude that shifting the balance between the global levels of these proteins with pharmacotherapeutic drugs that induce expression of cell survival associated genes, is expected to alter the cellular rheostat that determines cell survival or cell death. Replicate pooled samples (approximately 600 laser capture microdissected hippocampal neurons per sample of dying neurons (labeled with Fluoro-Jade, a fluorescent stain for degenerating CNS neurons) and surviving neurons (Fluoro-Jade-negative) were hybridized in duplicate to rat Agilent whole genome arrays.

Sox11 - a novel activity-regulated gene with dentate gyrus-specific expression

Project description:Neuronal activity initiates transcriptional programs that shape long-term changes in plasticity. Although neuron subtypes differ in their plasticity response, most activity-dependent transcription factors are broadly expressed across different neuron subtypes and brain regions. Thus, how regional and neuronal subtype-specific plasticity are established on the transcriptional level remains poorly understood. Here, we report that the developmental transcription factor Sox11 is induced in mature neurons upon hippocampal circuit activity and that this activity-dependent expression occurs exclusively in the dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus. In addition, we show that Sox11 can modify synaptic plasticity and intrinsic excitability of DG granule cell neurons as well as the expression of plasticity-related genes. We propose that Sox11 is a DG-specific activity-dependent gene and might play a role in fine tuning regional plasticity in the hippocampal circuit.

Loss of CBP in newborn neurons interferes with synaptic maturation and SRF-dependent neuronal growth

Project description:We used genome-wide sequencing methods to study the consequences of eliminating the CREB-binding protein (CBP) in newborn neurons. We found that CBP-deficient newborn neurons show impaired growth and activity-dependent transcription. In particular, genes downstream of the serum response factor (SRF) and related to neuronal growth and activity-dependent plasticity were affected. The expression of a constitutively active SRF protein with the ability to transactivate target genes in a CBP-independent manner reduced the growth and transcriptional defects associated with CBP ablation.

Chromatin accessibility changes in hiPSC-derived neurons after BDNF and KCl stimulations

Project description:Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) is crucial for neuronal survival, differentiation, synaptic plasticity, memory formation, and neurocognitive health. Molecular mechanisms of BDNF promoting cellular survival and synaptic plasticity have been intensely studied, yet its role in genome regulation is obscure. Using human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived neurons via lentiviral delivery of the neuronal transcription factor Ngn2, we performed a temporal profiling (1h, 6h and 10h) of chromatin accessibility upon BDNF treatment or depolarization (KCl) to identify BDNF-specific chromatin-to-gene expression programs.

Chromatin plasticity contributes to neuronal selection during memory allocation

Project description:Memory allocation refers to the process by which neurons are recruited into the encoding ensemble to store learned information. This recruitment is regulated by neuronal selection based on differences in intrinsic excitability (IE) and the expression of the transcription factor CREB. However, whether other forms of plasticity influence memory allocation remains unknown. Here, we found that chromatin compaction and histone acetylation in the mouse lateral amygdala display a high degree of heterogeneity, a prerequisite for neuronal selection. Consequently, when we increased histone acetylation by overexpressing histone acetyl transferases (HATs), neurons with elevated histone acetylation were preferentially recruited into the encoding ensemble and memory retention was enhanced, while optogenetic silencing of the epigenetically altered neurons prevented memory expression. Mechanistically, using patch-clamp recordings and single-nucleus multi-ome sequencing, we observed that HAT overexpression increased IE and epitranscriptomic changes favoring synaptic plasticity. Lastly, by merging FRET-based epigenetic beacons with calcium indicators to simultaneously record histone acetylation and neuronal dynamics in real time, we found that epigenetic heterogeneity underlies IE in cell-autonomous manner. These results identify chromatin plasticity as a key factor catalyzing memory allocation.

Intrinsic Homeostatic Plasticity in Mouse and Human Sensory Neurons

Project description:The nervous system has a tremendous capacity for experience-dependent plasticity. In response to changes in activity induced by environmental cues, many types of neurons undergo a process known as homeostatic plasticity, which serves to maintain overall network function in the face of mounting experience-dependent changes in synaptic strengths. Homeostatic plasticity involves both changes in synaptic scaling and regulation of intrinsic excitability. Increases in spontaneous firing and excitability of sensory neurons are evident in some forms of chronic pain in both animal models and in human patients. However, it is not known whether homeostatic plasticity is engaged in sensory neurons under normal conditions or whether dysfunction in these homeostatic mechanisms might contribute to the pathophysiology of chronic pain. To address these questions, we tested the impact of sustained depolarization on various measures of excitability in mouse and human sensory neurons. Depolarization induced by 30mM KCl induces a compensatory decrease in the excitability of both mouse and human sensory neurons. Moreover, we also find that voltage-gated sodium currents are robustly inhibited in mouse sensory neurons after chronic depolarization, thus contributing to the overall decrease in neuronal excitability and serving as a potential regulatory mechanism to drive intrinsic neuronal homeostatic control. Our results indicate that mouse and human sensory neurons undergo homeostatic regulation of intrinsic excitability in response to sustained depolarization. Decreased efficacy of these homeostatic mechanisms could potentially contribute to the development of pathological conditions, including chronic pain.

Primary Cilia-Autophagy Axis in Hippocampal Neurons Is Essential to Maintain Cognitive Fitness

Project description:A central hallmark of brain aging is the alteration of neuronal functions in the hippocampus, leading to a progressive decline in learning and memory. Multiple reports have shown the importance of blood-borne factors in inter-tissue communication for the maintenance of cognitive fitness and proper regulation of neuronal homeostasis throughout life. Among these blood-borne factors, we identified Osteocalcin (OCN), a bone-derived hormone. OCN induces autophagy machinery in hippocampal neurons which is essential for activity-dependent synaptic plasticity. However, the way in which blood-borne factors like OCN communicate with neurons, including their regulatory mechanisms, remains largely elusive. Here, we show the importance of a core primary cilium (PC)-proteins/autophagy machinery axis in hippocampal neurons that mediate the effects of the pro-youthful blood factor OCN on neuronal homeostasis and cognitive fitness. We found that OCN’s receptor, GPR158, is present at the PC of hippocampal neurons and mediates the regulation of autophagy machinery by OCN. During aging, PC-core proteins are reduced in hippocampal neurons and associated with neuronal PC morphological abnormalities. Restoring their levels is sufficient to improve neuronal autophagy and cognitive impairments in aged mice. Mechanistically, we found that OCN promotes neuronal autophagy in the hippocampus by the induction of PC-dependent cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) signaling pathway. Altogether, this study proposes a novel paradigm for blood factor-neuron communication dependent on a neuronal PC/autophagy axis by identifying a novel regulatory pathway fostering cognitive fitness and providing the foundation for autophagy-based therapeutic strategies to treat age-related cognitive dysfunction.
