Molecular profiling of brainstem peptidergic neurons

ABSTRACT: Hunger is a fundamental drive, evolutionarily hard-wired to ensure that an animal has sufficient energy to survive and reproduce. Just as important as knowing when to eat is for an animal to know when not to eat. Here, using spatially resolved, single cell translational phenotyping and ensemble-level molecular profiling, we characterize a small population of neuropeptidergic neurons in the brainstem’s dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) and describe how they regulate appetite. Together, this work identifies a likely conserved cellular mechanism that transforms diverse neurohumoral signals into a key behavioral output.

Molecular profiling of dorsal raphe nucleus Vgat and VGLUT3-expressing neurons

Project description:Hunger, driven by negative energy balance, elicits the search for and consumption of food. In mammals, this is orchestrated principally through the activity of neurons in the hypothalamus, direct manipulation of which can potently drive food intake. However, the neural circuits outside of the hypothalamus that control feeding are poorly understood. Here, we identify two functionally opponent cell types within the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN), marked by the vesicular transporters for GABA (Vgat) or glutamate (VGLUT3), that project to many known feeding centers and rapidly control feeding. We find that DRNVgat neurons drive, while DRNVGLUT3 neurons suppress, food intake. Furthermore, through the development and application of cell type-specific molecular profiling technologies, we identify many differentially expressed transmembrane receptors, which may represent unique druggable targets. Local application of agonists for these receptors potently modulates feeding, recapitulating the effects of cell-specific manipulations. Together, these data establish a key role for the DRN in controlling food intake and add an important anatomic site that controls energy balance.

Brainstem Proteomics in Epilepsy and Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy

Project description:Brainstem nuclei dysfunction is implicated in sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). In animal models, deficient serotonergic activity is associated with seizure-induced respiratory arrest. In humans, glia are decreased in the ventrolateral medullary pre-Botzinger complex that modulates respiratory rhythm, as well as in the medial raphe that modulates respiration and arousal. Finally, SUDEP cases have decreased midbrain volume. To understand the potential role of brainstem nuclei in SUDEP, we evaluated molecular signaling pathways using localized proteomics in microdissected midbrain dorsal raphe and medullary raphe serotonergic nuclei, as well as the ventrolateral medulla in brain tissue from epilepsy patients who died of SUDEP and other causes in diverse epilepsy syndromes, and non-epilepsy control cases

Molecular and anatomical organization of the dorsal raphe nucleus

Project description:The dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) is an important source of neuromodulators and has been implicated in a wide variety of behavioral and neurological disorders. The DRN is subdivided into distinct anatomical subregions comprised of multiple cell types, and its complex cellular organization has impeded efforts to investigate the distinct circuit and behavioral functions of its subdomains. Here we used single-cell RNA sequencing, in situ hybridization, anatomical tracing, and spatial correlation analysis to map the transcriptional and spatial profiles of cells from the mouse DRN. Our analysis of 39,411 single-cell transcriptomes revealed at least 18 distinct neuron subtypes and 5 serotonergic neuron subtypes with distinct molecular and anatomical properties, including a serotonergic neuron subtype that preferentially innervates the basal ganglia. Our study lays out the molecular organization of distinct serotonergic and non-serotonergic subsystems, and will facilitate the design of strategies for further dissection the DRN and its diverse functions.

Gut epithelium modifies enteric behaviors during nutritional adversity via distinct peptidergic signaling axes

Project description:Interorgan signaling events are emerging as key regulators of behavioral plasticity. The foregut and hindgut circuits of the C. elegans enteric nervous system (ENS) control feeding and defecation behavior, respectively. Here we show that epithelial cells in the midgut integrate feeding state information to control these behavioral outputs via releasing distinct neuropeptidergic signals. In favorable conditions, insulin and non-insulin peptides released from midgut epithelia activate foregut and hindgut enteric neurons, respectively, to sustain normal feeding and defecation behavior. During food scarcity, altered insulin signaling from sensory neurons activates the transcription factor DAF-16/FoxO in midgut epithelia, which blocks both peptidergic signaling axes to the ENS via transcriptionally shutting down the intestinal neuropeptide secretion machinery. Our findings demonstrate that midgut epithelial cells act as integrators to relay internal state information to distinct parts of the enteric nervous system to control animal behavior.

Aberrant histone H3 serotonylation dynamics in dorsal raphe nucleus contribute to maladaptive stress-induced gene expression programs and behavior [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a debilitating illness that affects millions of individuals worldwide. While chronic stress increases incidence levels of MDD, stress-mediated disruptions in brain function that precipitate the disorder remain elusive. Serotonin-associated antidepressants (ADs) remain the first line of therapy for many with MDD, yet low remission rates and delays between treatment and symptomatic alleviation have prompted skepticism regarding precise roles for serotonin in the precipitation of MDD. Our group recently demonstrated that serotonin epigenetically modifies histone proteins (H3K4me3Q5ser) to regulate transcriptional permissiveness in brain. However, this phenomenon has not yet been explored following stress and/or AD exposures. Here, we employed a combination of genome-wide (ChIP-seq, RNA-seq) and western blotting analyses in dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) of male and female mice exposed to chronic social defeat stress to examine the impact of stress exposures on H3K4me3Q5ser dynamics in DRN, as well as associations between the mark and stress-induced gene expression. Stress-induced regulation of H3K4me3Q5ser levels were also assessed in the context of AD exposures, and viralmediated gene therapy was employed to manipulate H3K4me3Q5ser levels to examine the impact of reducing the mark in DRN on stress-associated gene expression and behavior. We found that H3K4me3Q5ser plays important roles in stress-mediated transcriptional plasticity in DRN. Mice exposed to chronic stress displayed dysregulated dynamics of These findings establish a neurotransmission-independent role for serotonin in stress-associated transcriptional and behavioral plasticity in DRN.

Sneezing reflex is mediated by a peptidergic pathway from nose to brainstem.

Project description:Sneezing is a vital respiratory reflex frequently associated with allergic rhinitis and viral respiratory infections. However, its neural circuit remains largely unknown. A sneeze-evoking region was discovered in both cat and human brainstems, corresponding anatomically to the central recipient zone of nasal sensory neurons. Therefore, we hypothesized that a neuronal population postsynaptic to nasal sensory neurons mediates sneezing in this region. By screening major presynaptic neurotransmitters/neuropeptides released by nasal sensory neurons, we found that neuromedin B (NMB) peptide is essential for signaling sneezing. Ablation of NMB-sensitive postsynaptic neurons in the sneeze-evoking region or deficiency in NMB receptor abolished the sneezing reflex. Remarkably, NMB-sensitive neurons further project to the caudal ventral respiratory group (cVRG). Chemical activation of NMB-sensitive neurons elicits action potentials in cVRG neurons and leads to sneezing behavior. Our study delineates a peptidergic pathway mediating sneezing, providing molecular insights into the sneezing reflex arc.

Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Alleviate Depressive and Anxiety-like Behaviors via a Lung Vagal-to-Brain Axis in Male Mice

Project description:Major depressive disorder (MDD) is one of the most common and disabling mental disorders, and current strategies remain inadequate. Although mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have shown beneficial effects in experimental models of depression, underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, using murine depression models, we demonstrated that MSCs could alleviate depressive and anxiety-like behaviors not due to a reduction in proinflammatory cytokines, but rather activation of dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) neurons. Mechanistically, peripheral delivery of MSCs activated pulmonary innervating vagal sensory neurons, which projected to the nucleus tractus solitarius, inducing the release of 5-HT in DRN. Furthermore, MSC-secreted brain-derived neurotrophic factor activated lung sensory neurons through tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB), and inhalation of a TrkB agonist also achieved significant therapeutic effects in male mice. This study reveals a role of peripheral MSCs in regulating central nervous system function and demonstrates a potential "lung vagal-to-brain axis" strategy for MDD.
