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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Kir4.1-dependent astrocyte-fast motor neuron interactions are required for peak strength

Project description:Diversified neurons are essential for sensorimotor function, but whether astrocytes become specialized to optimize circuit performance remains unclear. Large fast α-motor neurons (FαMNs) of spinal cord innervate fast-twitch muscles that generate peak strength. We report that ventral horn astrocytes express the inward rectifying K+ channel Kir4.1 (aka, Kcnj10) around MNs in a VGLUT1-dependent manner. Loss-of astrocyte-encoded Kir4.1 selectively altered FαMN size, function and led to reduced peak strength. Overexpression of Kir4.1 in astrocytes was sufficient to increase MN size through activation of the PI3K/mTOR/pS6 pathway. Kir4.1 was downregulated cell-autonomously in astrocytes derived from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients with SOD1 mutation. However, astrocyte Kir4.1 was dispensable for FαMN survival even in the mutant SOD1 background. These findings show that astrocyte Kir4.1 is essential for maintenance of peak strength and suggest that Kir4.1 downregulation uncouples symptoms of muscle weakness from MN cell death in ALS.

Kir4.1 channels contribute to astrocyte CO2/H+-sensitivity and the drive to breathe

Project description:Astrocytes in the retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN) stimulate breathing in response to CO2/H+, however, it is not clear how these cells detect changes in CO2/H+. Considering Kir4.1/5.1 channels are CO2/H+-sensitive and important for several astrocyte-dependent processes, we consider Kir4.1/5.1 a leading candidate CO2/H+ sensor in RTN astrocytes. To address this, we show that RTN astrocytes express Kir4.1 and Kir5.1 transcripts. We also characterized respiratory function in astrocyte-specific inducible Kir4.1 knockout mice (Kir4.1 cKO); these mice breathe normally under room air conditions but show a blunted ventilatory response to CO2, which could be partly rescued by viral mediated re-expression of Kir4.1 in RTN astrocytes. At the cellular level, astrocytes in slices from astrocyte-specific inducible Kir4.1 knockout mice are less responsive to CO2/H+ and show a diminished capacity for paracrine modulation of respiratory neurons. These results suggest Kir4.1/5.1 channels in RTN astrocytes contribute to respiratory behavior.

Spinal astrocytic MeCP2 regulates Kir4.1 for the maintenance of chronic hyperalgesia in neuropathic pain

Project description:Previous studies have suggested that astrocyte activation in the spinal dorsal horn may play an important role in the development of chronic neuropathic pain; but the mechanisms involved in astrocyte activation and their modulatory effects remain unknown. The inward rectifying potassium channel protein 4.1 (Kir4.1) is the most important background K+ channel in astrocytes. However, how Kir4.1 is regulated and contributes to behavioral hyperalgesia in chronic pain is unknown. In this study, single-cell RNA sequencing analysis indicated that the expression of Kir4.1 and Methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) were both decreased in spinal astrocytes after chronic constriction injury (CCI) in a mouse model. Conditional knockout of the Kir4.1 channel in spinal astrocytes led to hyperalgesia; and overexpression of the Kir4.1 channel in spinal cord relieved CCI-induced hyperalgesia. Expression of spinal Kir4.1 after CCI was regulated by MeCP2. Electrophysiological recording in spinal slices showed that knockdown of Kir4.1 significantly regulated the excitability of astrocytes and then functionally changed the firing patterns of neurons in dorsal spinal cord. Therefore, targeting spinal Kir4.1 maybe an underlying treatment for hyperalgesia in chronic neuropathic pain.

sevoflurane exposures on neonatal and adult mice,LC-MSMS

Project description:Sevoflurane is the most commonly used general anesthetic in pediatric surgery, but it has the potential to be neurotoxic. Previous research found that long-term or multiple sevoflurane exposures could cause cognitive deficits in newborn mice but not adult mice, whereas short-term or single inhalations had little effect on cognitive function at both ages. The mechanisms behind these effects, however, are unclear. In the current study, 6- and 60-day-old C57bl mice in the sevoflurane groups were given 3% sevoflurane plus 60% oxygen for three consecutive days, each lasting 2 hours, while those in the control group only got 60% oxygen. The cortex tissues were harvested on the 8th or 62nd day. The tandem mass tags (TMT)pro-based quantitative proteomics combined with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysi were applied to analyze the influences of multiple sevoflurane anesthesia on the cerebral cortex in mice with various ages. A total of 6247 proteins were measured using the combined quantitative proteomics methods of TMTpro-labeled and LC-MS/MS, 443 of which were associated to the age-dependent neurotoxic mechanism of repeated sevoflurane anesthesia. Our findings would help to further the mechanistic study of age-dependent anesthetic neurotoxicity and contribute to seek for effective protection in the developing brain under general anesthesia.

Sevoflurane increases FKBP5 expression in microglia in the brains of aged marmosets and mice

Project description:Background: Inhalation anesthetics may trigger the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis. FK-506 binding protein (FKBP5) is a critical factor that regulates the HPA axis and is associated with perioperative neurocognitive impairment. However, it is unclear how inhalation anesthetics affects the expression of FKBP5 in different neural cells in the brain. Methods: We used single-nucleus RNA sequencing to characterize hippocampal transcriptome profiles in the brains of aged marmosets and mice after sevoflurane anesthesia. Results: Higher levels of FKBP5 were found in the hippocampi of aged mice after sevoflurane anesthesia. Single nuclear RNA sequencing results from aged mice and marmosets showed that the increased expression of FKBP5 mainly occurred in microglia. The expression of FKBP5 in the hippocampi of aged marmosets and mice increased following long-term exposure to sevoflurane anesthesia. Additionally, the brains of these animals displayed a marked increase in the expression of FKBP5 in microglia after sevoflurane anesthesia. Conclusion: Long-term exposure to sevoflurane augments FKBP5 expression in the hippocampi of aged marmosets and mice, specifically in the microglia.

Nedd4-2-dependent regulation of astrocytic Kir4.1 and Connexin43 controls neuronal network activity

Project description:Nedd4-2 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase in which missense mutation is related to familial epilepsy, indicating its critical role in regulating neuronal network activity. However, Nedd4-2 substrates involved in neuronal network function have yet to be identified. Using mouse lines lacking Nedd4-1 and Nedd4-2 and an isobaric labeling approach for quantitative comparison of the synaptic membrane proteome, we identified astrocytic channel proteins inwardly rectifying potassium channel 4.1 (Kir4.1) and Connexin43 as upregulated in ubiquitin ligase knockout mice and thus as candidate Nedd4-2 substrates. Kir4.1 and Connexin43 were confirmed as Nedd4-2 substrates by independent methods and their functional role in astrocytes as to modulation of neuronal network activity was established.

RNA-seq of mouse astrocytes in monoculture and co-cultured with rat neurons (both inactive and active).

Project description:Neurons induce a dramatic transformation in developing astrocytes, causing them to develop a complex stellate morphology resembling their appearance in vivo. However, the transcriptional changes that accompany this transformation are not known, nor are the signalling mechanisms responsible. Similarly, whether synaptic activity controls astrocytic gene expression and whether this leads to altered astrocytic function is unclear. This experiment seeks to investigate this non-cell-autonomously regulated gene expression by co-culturing astrocytes and neurons derived from closely related species (mouse and rat), and separating RNA-seq reads derived from each cell type in silico, thus shedding light on the signalling mechanisms underlying neuron-to-astrocyte communication and the functional consequences for astrocytes.
