Hedgehog Interaction Protein Acts in the Habenula to Regulate Nicotine Intake

ABSTRACT: Medial habenular (mHb) cholinergic neurons that project to the interpeduncular nucleus (IPn) regulate aversive behavioral responses to nicotine that protect against tobacco addiction. Little is known about the nicotine-evoked cellular or molecular adaptations in these neurons that influence the development of the smoking habit. Using in vivo calcium imaging and single-cell RNA sequencing, we show that a dose of nicotine that stimulates mHb neural activity evokes robust transcriptional plasticity in neuronal and non-neuronal cells in the mHb, including upregulated expression of Hedgehog-interacting protein (HHIP) in putative cholinergic neurons. Allelic variation in HHIP confers risk for smoking-related diseases including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung cancer, but underlying mechanisms of action are unclear. Using Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification (TRAP) sequencing and RNAscope, we confirmed that Hhip transcripts are highly enriched in mHb cholinergic neurons. HHIP mutant mice exhibit hundreds of differentially expressed transcripts in the mHb and perturbed transcriptional responses to nicotine. Moreover, acute in vivo CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genomic cleavage of mHb Hhip attenuated noxious responses to nicotine and increased intravenous nicotine self-administration behavior in mice. In vitro knockdown of Hhip reduces intracellular calcium release to nicotine and increases Gli activity. These findings suggest that HHIP acts in the mHb to regulate nicotine intake and that HHIP alleles may increase vulnerability to smoking-related diseases by modulating mHb signaling and enhancing the addictive properties of tobacco.

Habenular Tcf7l2 links nicotine addiction to diabetes.

Project description:Translational profiling of cholinergic neurons in the MHb allow identification of genes that are responsive to metabolic changes. Here we use bac TRAP to access translating mRNAs. We confirm a role for the transcription factor Tcf7l2 in the MHb in both glucose homeostasis and nicotine intake.

Retrograde inhibition by a specific subset of interpeduncular α5 nicotinic neurons regulates nicotine preference.

Project description:Translational profiling of specific populations in the MHb-IPN circuit allow identification of neurons in the relatively uncharacterized circuit. Here we use bac Cre drivers to direct expression of a Cre-iducible EGFP-tagged ribosomal protein to access translating mRNAs. We describe unique and complementary subsets of Chrna5 cells with differential response to nicotine treatment.

Habenular Tcf7l2 links nicotine addiction to diabetes

Project description:Nicotine contained in tobacco smoke increases blood glucose levels in humans, and the risk of developing diabetes is dramatically increased in habitual smokers. Little is currently known about how nicotine increases blood glucose levels or the relevance of this action to either the persistence of the smoking habit or the pathophysiology of diabetes in smokers. Here, we show that the diabetes-associated gene Tcf7l2 is highly expressed in the medial habenula (mHb), where it regulates the function of local nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. We find that Tcf7l2 mutant (Tcf7l2mut) rats consume far greater quantities of nicotine than wild-type rats. Similarly, CRISPR-mediated cleavage of wild-type Tcf7l2 in the mHb increases nicotine intake in mice. Polysynaptic tracing identified a connection from the mHb to the pancreas, and nicotine-induced activation of the mHb elevates blood glucose. This effect is mimicked by chemogenetic stimulation of the mHb and blocked by Tcf7l2 knockdown in mHb. A history of nicotine consumption elevates circulating levels of the pancreas-derived hormones glucagon and insulin and precipitates diabetes-like dysregulation of blood glucose homeostasis in wild-type rats, whereas Tcf7l2mut rats are resistant to these actions of nicotine. Our findings suggest that Tcf7l2 regulates the stimulatory actions of nicotine on the habenula-pancreas axis, linkings the addictive properties of nicotine to its diabetes-promoting actions.

Integrated miRNA/mRNA-Seq of the Habenulo-Interpeduncular Withdrawal Circuit

Project description:Nicotine dependence is responsible for perpetuating the adverse health effects due to tobacco use, the leading cause of preventable death worldwide. Nicotine is an agonist for nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, which are enriched in the habenulo-interpeduncular withdrawal circuit. Drugs of abuse, including nicotine, induce stable neuroadaptations, requiring protein synthesis through regulation of transcription factors, epigenetic mechanisms, and non-coding RNAs. It also been shown that miRNAs in brain are regulated by nicotine and that miRNA dysregulation contributes to brain dysfunction, including drug addiction. While much is known about the neurocircuitry responsible for the behaviors associated with nicotine reward or withdrawal, the underlying mechanisms of how changes in behavior are induced are less clear. Using miRNA- and mRNA-Seq, we demonstrate that there are widespread changes in both miRNA and mRNA expression in the IPN and MHb during acute nicotine withdrawal. Conserved, differentially expressed miRNAs were predicted to target inversely regulated mRNAs. This dataset represents a valuable resource, identifying a multitude of miRNAs/genes, which upon further study may reveal new mechanisms underlying the neuroadaptations of nicotine dependence and the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

Relapse from nicotine abstinence increases the pacemaking frequency of cholinergic habenular neurons

Project description:The discovery of genetic variants in the CHRNA5-CHRNA3-CHRNB4 gene cluster associated with heavy smoking and higher relapse risk has led to the identification of the midbrain habenula- interpeduncular axis as a critical relay circuit in the control of nicotine addiction Here we profile the cholinergic neurons of the medial habenula and identify the unique transcirptional features of this population of neurons.

In utero exposure to maternal smoking is associated with DNA methylation alterations and reduced neuronal content in the developing fetal brain

Project description:Background; Intrauterine exposure to maternal smoking is linked to impaired executive function and behavioral problems in the offspring. Maternal smoking is associated with reduced fetal brain growth and smaller volume of cortical grey matter in childhood, indicating that prenatal exposure to tobacco may impact cortical development and manifest as behavioral problems. Cellular development is mediated by changes in epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation, which can be affected by exposure to tobacco. Results: In this study we sought to ascertain how maternal smoking during pregnancy affects global DNA methylation profiles of the developing dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) during the second trimester of gestation. When DLPFC methylation profiles (Illumina, HM450) of smoking-exposed and unexposed fetuses were compared, no differentially methylated regions (DMRs) passed false discovery correction (FDR ² 0.05). However, the most significant DMRs were hypomethylated CpG Islands within the promoter regions of GNA15 and SDHAP3 of smoking-exposed fetuses. Furthermore, developmental up-regulation of SDHAP3 mRNA was delayed in smoking- exposed fetuses. DMRÕs passing FDR were found by interaction analysis between gestational age and smoking exposure annotated to SYCE3, C21orf56/LSS, SPAG1 and RNU12/POLDIP3. Utilizing established methods to estimate cell proportions by DNA methylation, we found that exposed DLPFC samples contained a lower proportion of neurons in samples from fetuses exposed to maternal smoking. We further showed that nicotine impedes the differentiation of neurons in vitro independent of cell death. Conclusions; We found evidence that intrauterine smoking exposure alters the developmental patterning of DNA methylation and gene expression and is associated with reduced mature neuronal content, effects that are likely driven by nicotine.
