Delayed crosstalk between astrocytes and neurons leads to depressive-like behaviors

ABSTRACT: The proper function establishment of nervous system is characterized by closely crosstalk among multiple cell types during the critical periods. Impeding or delaying the crosstalk results in abnormal neural functions and neurodevelopmental disorders. However, the lack of robust mouse models to study the crosstalk between astrocytes and neurons thus renders unclear the implications of impeding such interactions. Here we found that Egfr knockout led to the absence of astrocytes during the critical period of neuronal maturation, with recovery observed in adult mice, providing an exceptional opportunity to investigate the consequences of delaying crosstalk between astrocytes and neurons. We show that glial progenitor cells exhibit a rounded and smooth morphology, displaying few or no protrusions, in the absence of Egfr, which stands in stark contrast to the multi-protrusion morphology observed in the control cells. This phenomenon arises as a direct consequence of the impaired Egfr-pERK-Epb41l2 signaling axis, leading to delayed crosstalk between astrocytes and neurons. This delay results in reduced neuronal dendritic complexity and decreased neuronal excitability (due to damage to the Sema6a-Plxna2/4 receptor pair between astrocytes and neurons during the critical period), ultimately leading to the manifestation of depressive-like behaviors in adult mice.

Project description:Aubert2005 - Interaction between astrocytes and neurons on energy metabolism Enocded non-curated model. Issues: - Confusing equations A.41 and A.42 - Missing values for parameters Vv,0 and dHb,0 This model is described in the article: Interaction between astrocytes and neurons studied using a mathematical model of compartmentalized energy metabolism. Aubert A, Costalat R. J. Cereb. Blood Flow Metab. 2005 Nov; 25(11): 1476-1490 Abstract: Understanding cerebral energy metabolism in neurons and astrocytes is necessary for the interpretation of functional brain imaging data. It has been suggested that astrocytes can provide lactate as an energy fuel to neurons, a process referred to as astrocyte-neuron lactate shuttle (ANLS). Some authors challenged this hypothesis, defending the classical view that glucose is the major energy substrate of neurons, at rest as well as in response to a stimulation. To test the ANLS hypothesis from a theoretical point of view, we developed a mathematical model of compartmentalized energy metabolism between neurons and astrocytes, adopting hypotheses highly unfavorable to ANLS. Simulation results can be divided between two groups, depending on the relative neuron versus astrocyte stimulation. If this ratio is low, ANLS is observed during all the stimulus and poststimulus periods (continuous ANLS), but a high ratio induces ANLS only at the beginning of the stimulus and during the poststimulus period (triphasic behavior). Finally, our results show that current experimental data on lactate kinetics are compatible with the ANLS hypothesis, and that it is essential to assess the neuronal and astrocytic NADH/NAD+ ratio changes to test the ANLS hypothesis.
