Claustral cell identity is determined by Nurr1 and regulates hallucinogenic-like states

ABSTRACT: Nurr1 is a transcription factor, which is highly enriched in the claustrum (CLA), an enigmatic brain region that has been hypothesized to control hallucinations. Here, by using virus mediated deletion in conditional gene-targeted mice, we investigated the role of Nurr1 in CLA. These mice exhibited loss of the CLA transcriptional identity. To further study the role of Nurr1 in CLA we designed conditional Nurr1 knock out mice under D1 receptor promoter (D1R-Nurr1cKO). Accordingly, these mice showed similar results in CLA marker gene expression with the viral-targeted strategy. Moreover, D1R-Nurr1cKO mice exhibited loss of hallucinogen receptor signaling in CLA. Functional ultrasound imaging showed that hallucinogenic serotoninergic and opioidergic receptor agonists increased functional connectivity between prefrontal cortex and somatomotor regions in control mice but not in D1R-Nurr1cKO. Conclusively, we demonstrate that Nurr1 loss ablates CLA cell identity, which may affect hallucinogenic-like states. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of 4 different cells at two time points.

Claustrum/dorsal Endopiriform cortex complex cell identity is determined 1 by Nurr1 and regulates hallucinogenic-like states.

Project description:The Claustrum/dorsal Endopiriform cortex complex (CLA) is an enigmatic brain region with 19 extensive glutamatergic projections to multiple cortical areas. The transcription factor Nurr1 is 20 highly expressed in the CLA, but its role in this region is not understood. By using conditional 21 gene-targeted mice, we show that Nurr1 is a crucial regulator of CLA neuron identity. Although 22 CLA neurons remain intact in the absence of Nurr1, the distinctive gene expression pattern in 23 the CLA is abolished. CLA has been hypothesized to control hallucinations, but little is known 24 of how the CLA responds to hallucinogens. After the deletion of Nurr1 in the CLA, both 25 hallucinogen receptor expression and signaling are lost. Furthermore, functional ultrasound 26 imaging and Neuropixel electrophysiological recordings revealed that the effects of 27 hallucinogenic receptor agonists on functional connectivity between the prefrontal and 28 sensorimotor cortices are altered in Nurr1-ablated mice. Our findings suggest that Nurr1-29 targeted strategies provide new avenues for functional studies of the CLA.

Nurr1 orchestrates claustrum development and functionality

Project description:Claustrum is the part of the forebrain known to be most widely interconnected tissue with almost all global regions. It is believed to be involved in coordinating multiple cognitive behaviors including consciousness formation. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying its development and involvement in behavioral control. Here we show that Nurr1 (Nr4a2) is the key transcription factor orchestrating claustral morphogenesis, functional connectivity and thus behaviors. Nurr1 deficient claustral cells aberrantly migrate into insular cortex, shaping claustrum into an abnormal wing-like structure, and ectopically turn on insular cortex genetic program. Accordingly, functional connectivity of the claustrum is not properly formed and relevant behaviors are dysregulated in Nurr1 deficient mice. We show that Nurr1 regulates claustral neuron positioning by suppressing G-protein signaling.

Cortical Foxp2 supports behavioral flexibility and developmental dopamine D1 receptor expression

Project description:FoxP2 encodes a forkhead box transcription factor required for the development of neural circuits underlying language, vocalization, and motor-skill learning. Recent genetic studies have associated FOXP2 variation with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), and within the cortex, it is coexpressed and interacts with other NDD-associated transcription factors. Cortical Foxp2 is required in mice for proper social interactions, but its role in other NDD-relevant behaviors is unknown. Here, we characterized such behaviors and their potential underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms in cortex-specific Foxp2 conditional knockout mice. These mice showed deficits in reversal learning without increased anxiety or hyperactivity. In contrast, they emitted normal vocalizations save for a decrease in loudness of neonatal calls. These behavioral phenotypes were accompanied by decreases in cortical dopamine D1 receptor (D1R) expression at neonatal and adult stages, while general cortical development remained unaffected. Finally, using single-cell transcriptomics, we identified neonatal D1R-expressing cell types in frontal cortex and found changes in D1R cell type composition and gene expression upon cortical Foxp2 deletion. Together these data support a role for Foxp2 in the development of dopamine-modulated cortical circuits potentially relevant to NDDs.

FoxM1 is essential for quiescence and maintenance of hematopoietic stem cell

Project description:FoxM1, a mammalian Forkhead Box M1 protein, is known as a typical proliferation-associated transcription factor that regulates of G1/S and G2/M transition in the proliferating cells. However, the in vivo function of FoxM1 in adult stem cells remains unknown. Here, we found that FoxM1 is highly expressed in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and is essential for maintaining quiescence and self-renewal of HSCs in vivo. FoxM1-deficient mice developed leukopenia, thrombocytopenia and neutropenia with an approximately 6-fold decrease in HSC pool size, which is associated with a failure of G0 cell cycle regulation and increased cell cycling in HSCs. FoxM1 absence did not affect lineage commitment of HSCs and progenitors. However, FoxM1 loss significantly reduced the repopulating capacity and self-renewal of long-term HSC in a cell-autonomous manner. Mechanistically, FoxM1 loss markedly down-regulates the expression of orphan nuclear receptor Nurr1, known to regulate HSC quiescence. We found that FoxM1 directly bound the promoter region of Nurr1 and induced transcriptional activity of Nurr1 promoter in vitro, and forced expression of Nurr1 rescued FoxM1-deletion-induced G0 loss of HSC-enriched population in vitro. Thus, our studies show a previously unrecognized role of FoxM1 as a critical regulator of HSC quiescence and self-renewal by controlling Nurr1-mediated pathways. The Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs) were sorted from FoxM1[fl/fl] and Tie2-Cre FoxM1[fl/fl] mice, then amplified with Ovation Pico WTA System V2 before microarray analysis. There are 3 samples from FoxM1[fl/fl]mice and 3 samples from Tie2-Cre FoxM1[fl/fl] mice.

Nurr1 maintains fiber integrity and nuclear-encoded mitochondrial gene expression in dopamine neurons

Project description:Nurr1 (Nr4a2, nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 2) is needed for the development of ventral midbrain dopaminergic neurons, and has been associated with Parkinson's disease. We used mice where the Nurr1 gene is ablated by tamoxifen treatment selectively in dopaminergic neurons. As a control, we used tamoxifen-treated mice where Nurr1 is not ablated. By laser microdissection of neurons selected by their TH1 (Th1l, TH1-like homolog) gene expression, we selected dopaminergic neurons for RNA extraction and high-throughput mRNA sequencing, in order to identify genes regulated by Nurr1. We found the main functional category of Nurr1-regulated genes are the nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes.
