Chromatin plasticity contributes to neuronal selection during memory allocation

ABSTRACT: 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.

Acetyl-CoA metabolism by ACSS2 regulates neuronal histone acetylation and long-term memory [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Metabolic production of acetyl-CoA has been linked to histone acetylation and gene regulation, however the mechanisms are largely unknown. We show that the metabolic enzyme acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2) is a critical and directchum regulator of histone acetylation in neurons and of long-term mammalian memory. We observe increased nuclear ACSS2 in differentiating neurons in vitro. Genome-wide, ACSS2 binding corresponds with increased histone acetylation and gene expression of key neuronal genes. These data indicate that ACSS2 functions as a chromatin-bound co-activator to increase local concentrations of acetyl-CoA and to locally promote histone acetylation for transcription of neuron-specific genes. Remarkably, in vivo attenuation of hippocampal ACSS2 expression in adult mice impairs long-term spatial memory, a cognitive process reliant on histone acetylation. ACSS2 reduction in hippocampus also leads to a defect in upregulation of key neuronal genes involved in memory. These results reveal a unique connection between cellular metabolism and neural plasticity, and establish a link between generation of acetyl-CoA and neuronal chromatin regulation. Genome-wide examination of histone H3 and H4 acetylation, as well as ACSS2 binding, in undifferentiated CAD cells and differentiated CAD neurons; background adjusted by H3 ChIP or Input.

Cocaine-context memories are transcriptionally encoded in nucleus accumbens Arc ensembles

Project description:Learned associations between the rewarding effects of drugs and the context in which they are experienced are critical for context-induced relapse. While context re-exposure triggers the recall of such drug-related associative memories it is unclear whether this relies on the reactivation of and plasticity in neuronal populations previously engaged in their acquisition. Here, using the immediate early gene Arc, we captured a discrete population of nucleus accumbens (NAc) cells activated during the encoding of cocaine-context memory and showed that this neuronal ensemble is later reactivated upon context-induced recall. Furthermore, we show that ensembles recruited at early vs. late stages of memory encoding are largely distinct and contribute differentially to memory retrieval. Single nuclei RNA-sequencing of these ensembles identified plasticity-related transcriptional programs that segregate cocaine-recruited NAc engram-like cells beyond cell-type composition and revealed molecular features unique to distinct stages of memory processing. These findings suggest that activity-dependent transcription upon initial engram allocation further stamps cells for persistent plasticity programs and thereby supports memory traces at the single-cell level. This study also provides new insights into the mechanisms supporting pathological memory formation associated with cocaine exposure.

Epigenetic correction of defective plasticity in a tauopathy mouse model with an acetyltransferase activator [RNA-Seq]

Project description:In the adult brain, histone acetylation is associated with activity-regulated transcriptional changes that are required for synaptic plasticity and memory. These processes are dismantled in neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we demonstrate that synaptic plasticity and memory deficiencies can be restored in a mouse model of tauopathy following treatment with CSP-TTK21, a small molecule activator of CBP/p300 histone acetyltransferases (HAT). CSP-TTK21 normalized the H2B acetylation levels in many genes, including a series of super-enhancer –regulated genes, associated with plasticity and neuronal function in resting tauopathic mice. CSP-TTK21 re-established part of the learning-induced hippocampal transcriptome, including the induction of immediate early genes and memory-related genes, and the down-regulation of neuronal identity genes that bear super-enhancers. This study is the first to provide in vivo proof-of-concept evidence that direct activation of CBP/p300 HAT efficiently and selectively reverses epigenetic, transcriptional, synaptic plasticity, and behavioral deficits associated to Alzheimer’s disease lesions in mice.
