Diverse maturity-dependent and complementary anti-apoptotic brakes safeguard human iPSC-derived neurons from cell death [scRNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: In humans, most neurons are born during embryonic development and have to persist throughout the entire lifespan of an individual. Thus, human neurons have to develop elaborate survival strategies to protect against accidental cell death. We set out to decipher the developmental adaptations resulting in neuronal resilience. We demonstrate that, during the time course of maturation, human neurons install a complex and complementary anti-apoptotic signaling network. This includes i.) a downregulation of central proteins of the intrinsic apoptosis pathway including several caspases, ii.) a shift in the ratio of pro- and anti-apoptotic BCL-2 family proteins, and iii.) an elaborate regulatory network resulting in upregulation of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) XIAP. Together, these adaptations strongly increase the threshold for apoptosis initiation when confronted with a wide range of cellular stressors. Our results highlight how human neurons are endowed with complex and redundant preemptive strategies to protect against stress and cell death.

Involvement of 4E-BP1 in the protection induced by HDLs on pancreatic beta cells

Project description:High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) protect pancreatic β cells against apoptosis. This property might be related to the increased risk to develop diabetes in patients with low HDL blood levels. However, the mechanisms by which HDLs protect β cells are poorly characterized. Here we use a transcriptomic approach to identify genes differentially modulated by HDLs in β cells subjected to apoptotic stimuli.

Transcriptional analysis of apoptotic cerebellar granule neurons following rescue by Gip, Sp, Pacap and Igf1

Project description:Primary cultures of Cerebellar Granule Neurons (CGNs) have been extensively utilized to examine the signal transduction mechanisms underlying neuronal apoptosis. We conducted whole-genome expression profiling to decipher the transcriptional program controlling the apoptotic/survival switch in cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) following the induction of apoptosis by serum and potassium deprivation and their rescue by gastric inhibitory polypeptide (Gip), substance p (Sp), insulin-like growth factor-1 (Igf1) or pituitary adenylyl cyclase-activating polypeptide (Pacap). Our results reveal the transcriptional changes intersecting neuronal apoptosis and survival and form the basis for further functional analyses and pharmacological exploitation to identify neuroprotective drugs. After six days âin vitroâ (DIV), extracellular KCl of CGNs was shifted from 25 to 5 mM for neuronal apoptotic death induction. After two washes with serum-free BME containing 5 mM KCl, neurons were incubated with the same medium for 6 h (K5), while control neurons were incubated with serum free medium supplemented with 25 mM KCl (K25). K5 neurons were also treated with a maximal effective dose of Gip, Sp, Igf1 and Pacap. Four biological replicates (derived from the same litter) for each of the experimental conditions (K25, K5, K5 + Gip; K25, K5, K5 + Sp; K25, K5, K5 + Igf1; K25, K5, K5 + Pacap) were analyzed.

Asymmetric dynamics of GABAergic system and paradoxical responses of GABAergic neurons in piriform seizures

Project description:The piriform cortex (PC) plays a critical role in epileptogenesis, where an excitation/inhibition imbalance contributes to epilepsy etiology. However, the epileptic dynamics of the GABA system and the precise role of GABAergic neurons within the PC in epilepsy remain unclear. Here, we combined Ca2+ and GABA sensors to investigate the dynamics of Gad2-expressing neurons and GABA levels, and selectively manipulated GABAergic neurons in the PC through chemogenetic inhibition and caspase3-mediated apoptosis targeting Gad2 interneurons. The chronic deficiency of PC Gad2 neurons triggered spontaneous recurrent seizures. These findings uncover the dynamic interplay within PC inhibitory components and elaborate counteractive mechanisms in seizure regulation.

Interferon-gamma protects sympathetic neurons from apoptosis at the point of cytochrome c release

Project description:While immune responses during nervous system injury and disease are well studied, exactly how primary neurons respond to immune signals is still largely unknown. We find that primary sympathetic neurons respond unexpectedly to interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), a cytokine released by immune cells in response to infection. While IFN-γ induces apoptosis in many cell types, it has the opposite effect on sympathetic neurons by protecting them from apoptotic stimuli. We found that IFN-γ addition enabled sympathetic neurons to become resistant to nerve growth factor (NGF) deprivation- or pan-kinase inhibition-induced apoptosis. In investigating how interferon modulates the apoptotic pathway, we discovered that c-jun phosphorylation and Bim induction in response to NGF deprivation were unchanged with IFN-γ. Downstream of the mitochondria, however, IFN-γ blocked cytochrome c release and caspase-3 activation in NGF-deprived neurons. Microinjection of cytochrome c into XIAP-/- neurons revealed no difference in cell death with IFN-γ addition, demonstrating a role for IFN-γ at the point of mitochondria permeabilization. Levels of Bax and Bcl-XL, molecules that help regulate mitochondrial permeabilization, were unchanged. These results identify Bax activation as the likely point at which IFN-γ acts to inhibit neuronal apoptosis.

Neuronal apoptosis drives remodeling states of microglia and shifts in survival pathway dependence [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Microglia serve critical remodeling roles that shape the developing nervous system, responding to the changing neural environment with phagocytosis or soluble factor secretion. Recent single-cell sequencing (scRNAseq) studies have revealed the context-dependent diversity in microglial properties and gene expression, but the cues promoting this diversity are not well defined. Here, we ask how interactions with apoptotic neurons shape microglial state, including lysosomal and lipid metabolism gene expression and dependence on Colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) for survival. Using early postnatal mouse retina, a CNS region undergoing significant developmental remodeling, we performed scRNAseq on microglia from mice that are wild-type, lack neuronal apoptosis (Bax KO), or are treated with CSF1R inhibitor (PLX3397). We find that interactions with apoptotic neurons drives multiple microglial remodeling states, subsets of which are resistant to CSF1R inhibition. We find that TAM receptor Mer and complement receptor 3 are required for clearance of apoptotic neurons, but that Mer does not drive expression of remodeling genes. We show TAM receptor Axl is negligible for phagocytosis or remodeling gene expression but is consequential for microglial survival in the absence of CSF1R signaling. Thus, interactions with apoptotic neurons shift microglia towards distinct remodeling states and through Axl, alter microglial dependence on survival pathway, CSF1R.
