Project description:Experience-dependent learning depends on synaptic plasticity. Recent findings show that effective integration of novel salient information requires coordinated processes of homo- and hetero- synaptic plasticity onto neighboring dendritic branches. In this work, we hypothesized that activity-dependent remodeling of the peri-synaptic extracellular matrix (ECM) contributes to this mechanism. We show that clusters of the peri-synaptic ECM proteoglycans, containing 6- and 2,6-sulfated chondroitin sulfates recognized by CS56 antibody, emerge in response to sensory stimuli, showing temporal and spatial coincidence with dendritic spine plasticity. CS56 co-immunoprecipitation of synaptosomal proteins identified several CS56-carrying/binding synaptic molecules that are implicated in Ca2+ signaling, vesicles cycling and AMPA-receptor exocytosis, thus suggesting their pivotal role in long-term potentiation (LTP). Finally, we demonstrated that the attenuation of CS56 glycoepitopes in the CA1 hippocampal region, through the depletion of versican as one of its main carriers, impairs LTP and object location memory in adult mice. These findings show that specific ECM glycans regulates the molecular mechanisms underlying induction and consolidation of synaptic plasticity, confirming that experience-dependent refinement of the brain ECM plays a critical role in learning and memory.

Project description:The rodent hippocampus is a spatially organized neuronal network that supports the formation of spatial and episodic memories. We conducted bulk RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics experiments to measure gene expression changes in the dorsal hippocampus following the recall of active place avoidance (APA) memory. Through bulk RNA sequencing, we examined the gene expression changes following memory recall across the functionally distinct subregions of the dorsal hippocampus. We found that recall induced differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the CA1 and CA3 hippocampal subregions were enriched with genes involved in synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity, while DEGs in the dentate gyrus (DG) were enriched with genes involved in energy balance and ribosomal function. Through spatial transcriptomics, we examined gene expression changes following memory recall across an array of spots encompassing putative memory-associated neuronal ensembles marked by the expression of the IEGs Arc, Egr1, and c-Jun. Within samples from both trained and untrained mice, the subpopulations of spatial transcriptomic spots marked by these IEGs were transcriptomically and spatially distinct from one another. DEGs detected between Arc+ and Arc- spots exclusively in the trained mouse were enriched in several memory-related gene ontology terms, including “regulation of synaptic plasticity” and “memory.” Our results suggest that APA memory recall is supported by regionalized transcriptomic profiles separating the CA1 and CA3 from the DG, transcriptionally and spatially distinct IEG expressing spatial transcriptomic spots, and biological processes related to synaptic plasticity as a defining the difference between Arc+ and Arc- spatial transcriptomic spots.

Project description:Ongoing neuronal activity during development and plasticity acts to refine synaptic connections and contributes to the induction of plasticity and ultimately long term memory storage. Activity-dependent post-transcriptional control of mRNAs occurs through transport to axonal and dendritic compartments, local translation, and mRNA stability. We have identified a mechanism that contributes to activity-dependent regulation of mRNA stability during synaptic plasticity. In this study we demonstrate rapid, post-transtriptional control over process-enriched mRNAs by neuronal activity. Systematic analysis of the 3'-UTRs of destablized transcripts, identifies enrichment in sequence motifs corresponding to miRNA binding sites. The miRNAs that were identified, miR-326-3p/miR-330-5p, miR-485-5p, miR-666-3p, and miR-761 are predicted to regulate networks of genes important in plasticity and development. We find that these miRNAs are developmentally regulated in the hippocampus, many increasing by postnatal day 14. We further show that miR-485-5p controls NGF-induced neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells, tau expression, and axonal development in hippocampal neurons. miRNAs can function at the synapse to rapidly control and affect short- and long-term changes at the synapse. These processes likely occur during refinement of synaptic connections and contribute to the induction of plasticity and learning and memory. 12 hippocampal cell culture samples analysed, 3 coverslips pooled per sample. Treatments are as follows: Block: an inhibitor cocktail containing 50 µM D-APV, 40 µM CNQX, and 100 nM TTX for 3 hrs Activity: 50 µM bicuculline (BiC)/500 µM 4-Aminopyridine ActD: 25 µM actinomycin D

Project description:Exercise has been recognized as a beneficial factor for cognitive health, particularly in relation to the hippocampus, a vital brain region responsible for learning and memory. Previous research has demonstrated that exercise-mediated improvement of learning and memory in humans and rodents correlates with increased adult neurogenesis and processes related to enhanced synaptic plasticity. Nevertheless, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. With the aim to further elucidate these mechanisms we provide a comprehensive dataset of the mouse hippocampal transcriptome at the single-cell level after four weeks of voluntary wheel-running. Our analysis provides a number of interesting observations. For example, the results suggest that exercise affects adult neurogenesis by accelerating the maturation of a subpopulation of Prdm16-expressing neurons. Moreover, we uncover the existence of an intricate crosstalk among multiple vital signaling pathways such as NF-κB, Wnt/β-catenin, Notch, retinoic acid (RA) pathways altered upon exercise in a specific cluster of excitatory neurons within the Cornu Ammonis (CA) region of the hippocampus. In conclusion, our study provides an important dataset and sheds further light on the molecular changes induced by exercise in the hippocampus. These findings have implications for developing targeted interventions aimed at optimizing cognitive health and preventing age-related cognitive decline.

Project description:We show that traumatic stress experienced by males in early postnatal life impairs memory in their offspring, blocks long-term potentiation (LTP) and favors long-term depression (LTD). These effects are accompanied by suppression of key molecular pathways involved in neuronal plasticity both at rest and after acute stress. Male mice were exposed to chronic traumatic stress in early postnatal life and were later bred to naM-CM-/ve females to produce second-generation offspring. Memory performance was evaluated in the offspring, and synaptic plasticity was examined in the hippocampus and the amygdala, brain areas important for memory formation. The two groups tested were 1: offspring of fathers which were stressed (MSUS - maternal separation unpredictable stress) and 2: offspring of non-stressed fathers (control). Genome-wide gene expression in hippocampus of these two groups was assessed at rest and after acute stress (this study).
