Paraventricular hypothalamic RUVBL2 neurons suppress appetite by enhancing excitatory synaptic transmission in distinct neurocircuits [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Synaptic plasticity has been shown to participate in control of energy homeostasis.The paraventricular hypothalamus (PVH) is crucial for satiety control, though the underlying synaptic mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we show that RUVBL2 in the PVH is significantly reduced during energy deficit, and knockout (KO) of PVH RUVBL2 leads to hyperphagic obesity. We further show that KO of PVH RUVBL2 impairs the excitatory synaptic transmission by reducing presynaptic boutons and altering synaptic vesicle distribution. Chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChlP-seq) data show that RUVBL2 binds to the promoters of numerous genes related to synaptic plasticity, in particular synaptic vesicle and neuron axonogenesis. Meanwhile, RNA-seq data show significant changes in the expression of some genes in these two pathways. Together, this study demonstrates an essential role for PVH RUVBL2 in food intake control, and suggests that modulating synaptic plasticity could be an effective way to curb appetite and obesity.

Paraventricular hypothalamic RUVBL2 neurons suppress appetite by enhancing excitatory synaptic transmission in distinct neurocircuits

Project description:The paraventricular hypothalamus (PVH) is crucial for food intake control, yet the presynaptic mechanisms underlying PVH neurons remain unclear. Here, we show that RUVBL2 in the PVH is significantly reduced during energy deficit, and knockout (KO) of PVH RUVBL2 results in hyperphagic obesity in mice. RUVBL2-expressing neurons in the PVH (PVHRUVBL2) exert the anorexigenic effect by projecting to the arcuate hypothalamus, the dorsomedial hypothalamus, and the parabrachial complex. We further demonstrate that PVHRUVBL2 neurons form the synaptic connections with POMC and AgRP neurons in the ARC. PVH RUVBL2 KO impairs the excitatory synaptic transmission by reducing presynaptic boutons and synaptic vesicles near active zone. Finally, RUVBL2 overexpression in the PVH suppresses food intake and protects against diet induced obesity. Together, this study demonstrates an essential role for PVH RUVBL2 in food intake control, and suggests that modulation of synaptic plasticity could be an effective way to curb appetite and obesity.

VAP spatially stabilizes dendritic mitochondria to locally support synaptic plasticity

Project description:Synapses are pivotal sites of plasticity and memory formation. Consequently, synapses are energy consumption hotspots susceptible to dysfunction when their energy supplies are perturbed. Mitochondria are stabilized near synapses via the cytoskeleton and provide the local energy required for synaptic plasticity. However, the mechanisms that tether and stabilize mitochondria to support synaptic plasticity are unknown. We identified proteins exclusively tethering mitochondria to actin near postsynaptic spines. We find that VAP, the vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, stabilizes mitochondria via actin near the spines. To test if the VAP-dependent stable mitochondrial compartments can locally support synaptic plasticity, we used two-photon glutamate uncaging for spine plasticity induction and investigated the induced and adjacent uninduced spines. We find VAP functions as a spatial stabilizer of mitochondrial compartments for up to ~60 min and as a spatial ruler determining the ~30 m dendritic segment supported during synaptic plasticity.

Mutant FUS triggers age-dependent synaptic impairment in presymptomatic ALS-FUS mice (RNA-seq part2)

Project description:FUS is a primarily nuclear RNA-binding protein with important roles in RNA processing and transport. FUS mutations disrupting its nuclear localization characterize a subset of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS-FUS) patients, through an unidentified pathological mechanism. FUS regulates nuclear RNA, but its role at the synapse is poorly understood. Here, we used super-resolution imaging to determine the physiological localization of extranuclear, neuronal FUS and found it predominantly near the vesicle reserve pool of presynaptic sites. Using CLIP-seq on synaptoneurosome preparations, we identified synaptic RNA targets of FUS that are associated with synapse organization and plasticity. Synaptic FUS was significantly increased in a knock-in mouse model of ALS-FUS, at presymptomatic stages. Despite apparently unaltered synaptic organization, RNA-seq of synaptoneurosomes highlighted age-dependent dysregulation of glutamatergic and GABAergic synapses. Our study indicates that FUS relocalization to the synapse in early stages of ALS-FUS results in synaptic impairment, potentially representing an initial trigger of neurodegeneration.

Histone methylation by the Kleefstra Syndrome protein EHMT1 mediates homeostatic synaptic scaling.

Project description:Homeostatic plasticity, a form of synaptic plasticity, maintains the fine balance between overall excitation and inhibition in developing and mature neuronal networks. Although the synaptic mechanisms of homeostatic plasticity are well characterized, the associated transcriptional program remains poorly understood. We show that the Kleefstra syndrome-associated protein, EHMT1, plays a critical and cell-autonomous role in synaptic scaling by responding to attenuated neuronal firing or sensory drive. Chronic activity deprivation increased the amount of neuronal dimethylated H3 at lysine 9 (H3K9me2), the catalytic product of EHMT1 and an epigenetic marker for gene repression. Genetic knockdown and pharmacological blockade of EHMT1 or EHMT2 prevented the increase of H3K9me2 and synaptic scaling up. Furthermore, BDNF repression was preceded by EHMT1/2-mediated H3K9me2 deposition at the Bdnf promoter during synaptic scaling up, both in vivo or in vivo. These findings suggest that changes in chromatin state through H3K9me2 governs a repressive program to achieve synaptic scaling. 12 samples (4 conditions in biological triplicate), 3 wt, 3 wt tetradotoxin treated, 3 k.d., 3 k.d. tetradotoxin treated

Transcription profiling of mouse 3 wild-type and 3 Crtc1 knockouts reveals the Creb1 coactivator Crtc1 is required for energy balance and fertility

Project description:The adipocyte-derived hormone leptin maintains energy balance by acting on hypothalamic leptin receptors (Leprs) that trigger the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3). Although disruption of Lepr-Stat3 signaling promotes obesity in mice, other features of Lepr function, such as fertility, seem normal, pointing to the involvement of additional regulators. Here we show that the cyclic AMP responsive elementâ??binding protein-1 (Creb1)-regulated transcription coactivator-1 (Crtc1) is required for energy balance and reproductionâ??Crtc1-/- mice are hyperphagic, obese and infertile. Hypothalamic Crtc1 was phosphorylated and inactive in leptin-deficient ob/ob mice; leptin administration increased amounts of dephosphorylated nuclear Crtc1. Dephosphorylated Crtc1 stimulated expression of the Cartpt and Kiss1 genes, which encode hypothalamic neuropeptides that mediate leptinâ??s effects on satiety and fertility. Crtc1 overexpression in hypothalamic cells increased Cartpt and Kiss1 gene expression, whereas Crtc1 depletion decreased it. Indeed, leptin enhanced Crtc1 activity over the Cartpt and Kiss1 promoters in cells overexpressing Lepr and these effects were disrupted by expression of a dominant-negative Creb1 polypeptide. As leptin administration increased recruitment of hypothalamic Crtc1 to Cartpt and Kiss1 promoters, our results indicate that the Creb1-Crtc1 pathway mediates the central effects of hormones and nutrients on energy balance and fertility. Experiment Overall Design: Mice were fasted overnight for 18h and refed for 6h. Hypothalami were obtained from 3 wild-type and 3 Crtc1 knockout mice. Total RNA was isolated from each sample and equal amounts from each sample were pooled for the microarray.

Analysis of a long noncoding RNAs that modulate neurotransmitter release

Project description:We report the application of a novel integrated screening strategy to identify lncRNAs that regulate synaptic vesicle release. We identified one of these lncRNAs, which is conserved across mammals, neuron-specific and strictly nuclear. Modulations of this lncRNA influence synaptic vesicle release, presynaptic calcium influx, neurite elongation and neuronal migration. We have characterized the DNA, RNA and protein inteactors of this lncRNA and clarified its involvement in the stabilization of mRNAs for synaptic vesicle proteins.

The Habenular G-Protein-Coupled Receptor 151 regulates synaptic plasticity and nicotine intake

Project description:The habenula, an ancient small brain area in the epithalamus, densely expresses nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and is critical for nicotine intake and aversion. As such, identification of strategies to manipulate habenular activity may yield new approaches to treat nicotine addiction. Here we show that GPR151, an orphan G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) highly enriched in the habenula of humans and rodents is expressed at presynaptic membranes and synaptic vesicles, and associates with synaptic components controlling vesicle release and ion transport. Deletion of Gpr151 inhibits evoked neurotransmission but enhances spontaneous miniature synaptic currents and eliminates short-term plasticity induced by nicotine. We find that GPR151 couples to the G-alpha inhibitory protein Gao1 to reduce cAMP levels in mice and in GPR151 expressing cell lines that are amenable to ligand screens. Gpr151-KO mice show diminished behavioral responses to nicotine, and self-administer greater quantities of the drug, phenotypes rescued by viral re-expression of Gpr151 in the habenula. These data identify GPR151 as a critical modulator of habenular function that controls nicotine addiction vulnerability.
