Generation of a TPH2-EGFP reporter cell line for Purification and Monitoring of Human Serotonin neurons in vitro and in vivo

ABSTRACT: Generation of serotonin neurons (SNs) from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) provides a promising platform to explore the mechanisms of serotonin-associated neuropsychiatric disorders. However, neural differentiation always yields heterogeneous cell populations, making it difficult to identify and purify SNs in vitro or track them in vivo following transplantation. Herein, we generated a TPH2-EGFP reporter hPSC line with insertion of EGFP into the endogenous tryptophan hydroxylase 2 (TPH2) locus using CRISPR-Cas9-mediated gene editing technology. This TPH2-reporter, which faithfully indicated TPH2 expression during differentiation, enabled us to obtain purified SNs for subsequent transcriptional analysis and study of pharmacological responses to antidepressants. In addition, the reporter system showed strong EGFP expression to indicate SNs, which enabled us to explore in vitro and ex vivo electrophysiological properties of SNs. In conclusion, this TPH2-EGFP reporter cell line might be of great significance for studies on human SN-related development and differentiation, drug screening, disease modeling, and cell replacement therapies.

Transcriptomic Profiling across Human Serotonin Neuron Differentiation via the FEV Reporter System

Project description:This study has successfully established a human FEV reporter system using CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology. We have investigated the precise timing of FEV expression in human SNs. When compared to the previously established TPH2-reporter system, the FEV-reporter system has demonstrated the capacity to yield a greater number of highly-purified SNs, which can be utilized for in-depth exploration of the transcriptomic profiles of SNs during the differentiation process. Moreover, this expanded yield of purified SNs holds promise for facilitating high-throughput drug screening.

Mouse enteric neurons control intestinal plasmacytoid dendritic cell function via serotonin-HTR7 signaling [Sep_Epi]

Project description:Serotonergic neurons have multiple roles, including regulating mood and behavior1,2, yet it remains unclear which of these phenotypes are caused by serotonin produced by the central versus the peripheral nervous system. Neuronal serotonin is produced by the enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase 2 (Tph2). Mice that lack Tph2 exhibit decreased gut motility4 and several behavioral disorders, including decreased anxiety-like behavior and increased aggression5. To clarify the specific role of peripheral serotonergic circuits, here we engineered mice with intact Tph2 in central neurons but lacking Tph2 in peripheral neurons (Tph2fl/fl; Hand2-Cre). We discovered that PSN contribute to gut motility and are important in the control of anxiety-like behavior but do not contribute to impulsive aggression. Thus, central and peripheral serotonergic neurons have different roles in behavioral regulation. Intriguingly, animals lacking peripheral neuronal Tph2 had deficiencies in enteric immune cells, including reduced abundance of dendritic cells (DC) and IgA+ B cells in the small intestine and elevated susceptibility to oral Salmonella infection. Mechanistic studies suggest that serotonin produced by PSN promotes activation of DC through the 5-HT7 receptor, thereby facilitating DC-mediated differentiation of IgA+ B cells. Our findings highlight the importance of serotonin produced by peripheral neurons for control of behavior and gut defense and suggest that these circuits could be valuable targets for therapeutics.

Uncovering the role of FOXA2 in the development of human serotonin neurons [RNA-seq]

Project description:Serotonin neurons (SNs) play a pivotal role in regulating brain development and function. Directed differentiation of SNs from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) provides a useful tool for uncovering the mechanism of human SN development and the associated neuropsychiatric disorders. Previous studies reported that Foxa2 was expressed by serotonergic progenitors and functioned as a serotonergic fate determinant in mouse. However, the role of FOXA2 in human SNs development is unknown. Herein, we uncovered the role of FOXA2 through direct differentiation of FOXA2 lineage-tracing, FOXA2-knockout or inducible FOXA2-overexpression hPSCs into SNs. We found that SNs were not derived from FOXA2-lineage cells and FOXA2-knockout cells could still differentiate into mature and functional SNs, whereas FOXA2-overexpression enhanced the differentiation of floor plate (FP) cells rather than SNs. Coactivation of Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) and Retinoic acid (RA) signaling pathways promoted the differentiation towards SNs. In conclusion, FOXA2 is not intrinsically required for human SNs differentiation and simultaneous activation of SHH and RA signaling pathways could improve human SN differentiation by suppressing the differentiation towards FOXA2-positive FP cells. This study innovatively uncovers the role of FOXA2 in human SN development and provides a more efficient strategy to generate human SNs.
