Cocaine associated H2AK119ub dynamics in the thalami of Maged1 WT and cKO mice

ABSTRACT: Maged1 inactivation induces insensitivity to cocaine by impairing cocaine-evoked release of dopamine and plasticity in the Nucleus accumbens (NAc). Here we have characterized the chromatin epigenetic and transcriptional alterations associated with chronic cocaine exposure in the paraventricular thalamus (PVT, one of the main regulatory inputs of the Nac) in mice WT or conditional KO for Maged1 activity. At the epigenetic level, we focused on the analysis of the genomic coverages of the histone post-translational modification H2AK119ub (monoubiquitination of Lysine 119 of H2A; H2Aub), a repressive chromatin mark associated to polycomb (PRC1) –mediated gene repression since Maged1 specifically interact with H2A upon cocaine administration and is required for cocaine-induced increase of H2AK119ub levels in the PVT.

H2A ubiquitination is essential for Polycomb Repressive Complex 1-mediated gene regulation in Marchantia polymorpha

Project description:Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) and PRC2 are chromatin regulators maintaining transcriptional repression by depositing H2A mono-ubiquitination (H2Aub) or H3 lysine 27 tri-methylation (H3K27me3), respectively. While PRC1 is known to be required for transcriptional repression, the contribution of H2Aub in the Polycomb repressive system remains unclear in plants. Here, we directly test the requirement of H2Aub for gene repression in Marchantia polymorpha by generating point mutants in H2A that fail to be ubiquitinated by PRC1. These mutants show reduced H3K27me3 levels on the same target sites as mutants in PRC1 subunits MpBMI1 and the homolog MpBMI1L, revealing that PRC1-catalyzed H2Aub is essential for Polycomb system function. Furthermore, we demonstrate that H2Aub contributes to the PRC1-mediated silencing of genes and transposable elements. Together, our data provide evidence that H2Aub plays indispensable roles in the PRC1-initiated repressive system in Marchantia.

Differential Effects of Cocaine and Morphine on the Diurnal Regulation of the Mouse Nucleus Accumbens Proteome

Project description:Substance use disorders (SUDs) are associated with disruptions in sleep and circadian rhythms that persist during abstinence and may contribute to relapse risk. Repeated use of substances such as psychostimulants and opioids may lead to significant alterations in molecular rhythms in the nucleus accumbens (NAc), a brain region central to reward and motivation. Previous studies have identified rhythm alterations in the transcriptome of the NAc and other brain regions following the administration of psychostimulants or opioids. However, little is known about the impact of substance use on the diurnal rhythms of the proteome in the NAc. We used liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry-based (LC-MS/MS) quantitative proteomics, along with a data-independent acquisition (DIA) analysis pipeline, to investigate the effects of cocaine or morphine administration on diurnal rhythms of proteome in the mouse NAc. Overall, our data reveals cocaine and morphine differentially alters diurnal rhythms of the proteome in the NAc, with largely independent differentially expressed proteins dependent on time-of-day. Pathways enriched from cocaine altered protein rhythms were primarily associated with glucocorticoid signaling and metabolism, whereas morphine was associated with neuroinflammation. Collectively, these findings are the first to characterize the diurnal regulation of the NAc proteome and demonstrate a novel relationship between phase-dependent regulation of protein expression and the differential effects of cocaine and morphine on the NAc proteome.

Histone Arginine Methylation in Cocaine Action: Essential Role of Src Signaling in the Nucleus Accumbens

Project description:Despite addiction being one of the most prevalent and debilitating disorders worldwide, effective treatments are lacking. Repeated cocaine exposure induces maladaptive transcriptional regulation within the brainâ??s reward circuitry, such as the nucleus accumbens (NAc), and epigenetic mechanisms, such as histone acetylation or methylation on Lys (K) residues, have been linked to these lasting actions of cocaine. However, in contrast to K methylation, the functional role of histone Arg (R) methylation remains unexplored in addiction models and poorly understood in brain in general. Here we show that protein-R-methyltransferase-6 (PRMT6) and its associated histone mark, asymmetric dimethylation of R2 on histone H3 (H3R2me2a), are decreased in the NAc of mice and rats after repeated cocaine exposure, as well as in the NAc of cocaine-addicted humans. PRMT6 downregulation occurs selectively in NAc medium spiny neurons expressing dopamine D2 receptors (D2-MSNs) and serves to protect against cocaine-induced addictive-like behavioral abnormalities. Using ChIP-seq, we demonstrate that reduced H3R2me2a binding at gene targets in NAc after repeated cocaine is strongly correlated with increased binding of H3K4me3, and identify Src kinase signaling inhibitor 1 (Srcin1 or p140Cap) as a key gene for these chromatin modifications. Cocaine induction of Srcin1 in NAc, which is associated with reduced Src signaling, decreases cocaine reward, the motivation to self administer cocaine, and cocaine-induced changes in NAc MSN dendritic spines. These results suggest that this suppression of Src signaling in NAc D2-MSNs, via PRMT6 and H3R2me2a downregulation, functions as a homeostatic brake to restrain cocaine action, and provide novel candidates for the development of new treatments for cocaine addiction. H3R2me2A ChIP-seq of mouse. Cocaine vs Saline, 3 biological replicates.

A Cryptic Basic Groove formed by Ubiquitin and Histone H3 Mediates the Selective Recognition of H2AK119Ub Nucleosomes by Synovial Sarcoma X Breakpoint 1 Protein

Project description:The cancer-specific fusion oncoprotein SS18-SSX1 disturbs chromatin accessibility by hijacking the chromatin-remodeling BAF complex from the promoters or enhancers to the H2AK119Ub-marked polycomb-repressed chromatin regions. Relocation of the BAF complex was achieved through selective recognition of the H2AK119Ub nucleosomes by the synovial sarcoma X breakpoint 1 protein SSX1, which neither has a ubiquitin (Ub)-binding domain nor binds to free Ub. To elucidate the mechanism by which SSX1 selectively recognizes H2AK119Ub nucleosomes, here we report the cryo-EM structure of SSX1 bound to H2AK119Ub nucleosomes at a resolution of 3.1 Å. The structure reveals that the SSX1 N-terminal basic region (residues W164, R167, L168, R169) is anchored to the H2A/H2B acidic patch, while the aromatic amino acid (residue Y177) in the middle of SSX1 interacts with the hydrophobic pocket formed by the H2A α2 and α3 helixes. Ub recognition by SSX1 is unique and depends on a cryptic basic groove formed by H3 (residues R49, R52, K56) and the Ub motif (residues R42, R72, R74) on the H2AK119 site. Our results describe a novel mode of site-specific ubiquitinated nucleosome recognition that underlies the specific hijacking of the BAF complex to polycomb regions by SS18-SSX1 in synovial sarcoma.

Astrocytes modulate a specific paraventricular thalamus-prefrontal cortex projection to enhance consciousness recovery from sevoflurane anesthesia in mice

Project description:Previous studies have proved that astrocytes may be a key neural substrate that regulates wakefulness and consciousness recovery from general anesthesia, while the exact molecular target in astrocytes is still unclear. Using virus injection and in vivo fiber photometry in mice, we found both activating astrocytes and knocking down astrocytic Kir4.1 in paraventricular thalamus (PVT) promotes the consciousness recovery from sevoflurane anesthesia. Single-cell RNA sequencing of PVT reveals two distinct cellular subtypes of glutamatergic neurons: PVTGRM and PVTChAT neurons. Patch-clamp recording results proved that Astrocytic Kir4.1-mediated modulation of sevoflurane on PVT mainly works on PVTChAT neurons. Moreover, we found that PVTChAT neurons project mainly to the mPFC. This specific paraventricular thalamus to prefrontal cortex projection is involved in recovery of consciousness from sevoflurane anesthesia indirectly through modulation of astrocytes. In summary, our findings support the novel conception that the volatile anesthetic sevoflurane can inhibit PVT astrocytic Kir 4.1 to maintain and/or increase neuronal firing of PVTChAT neurons, which mainly projects to mPFC and promotes consciousness recovery from anesthesia.

The UBP5 histone H2A deubiquitinase counteracts PRCs-mediated repression to regulate Arabidopsis development

Project description:Polycomb Repressive Complexes (PRCs) control gene expression through the incorporation of H2Aub and H3K27me3. In recent years, there is increasing evidence of the complexity of PRCs’ interaction networks and the interplay of these interactors with PRCs in epigenome reshaping, which is fundamental to understand gene regulatory mechanisms. Here, we identified UBIQUITIN SPECIFIC PROTEASE 5 (UBP5) as a chromatin player able to counteract the deposition of the two PRCs’ epigenetic hallmarks in Arabidopsis thaliana. We demonstrated that UBP5 is a plant developmental regulator based on functional analyses of ubp5-CRISPR Cas9 mutant plants. UBP5 promotes H2A monoubiquitination erasure, leading to transcriptional de-repression. Furthermore, preferential association of UBP5 at PRC2 recruiting motifs and local H3K27me3 gaining in ubp5 mutant plants suggest the existence of functional interplays between UBP5 and PRC2 in regulating epigenome dynamics. In summary, acting as an antagonist of the pivotal epigenetic repressive marks H2Aub and H3K27me3, UBP5 provides novel insights to disentangle the complex regulation of PRCs’ activities.
