Transcriptomes of individual substantia nigra pars reticulata neurons

ABSTRACT: Certain neuron types fire spontaneously at high rates, an ability that is crucial for their function in brain circuits. The spontaneously active GABAergic neurons of the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr), a major output of the basal ganglia, provide tonic inhibition of downstream brain areas. A depolarizing "leak" current supports this firing pattern, but its molecular basis remains poorly understood. To understand how SNr neurons maintain tonic activity, we used single-cell RNA sequencing to determine the transcriptome of individual SNr neurons. We discovered that SNr neurons express the sodium leak current, NaLCN and that SNr neurons lacking NaLCN have impaired spontaneous firing.

We discovered that SNr neurons express the sodium leak current, NaLCN and that SNr neurons lacking NaLCN have impaired spontaneous firing. RNA sequencing profiles from 87 GFP-positive GABAergic SNr neurons and 9 GFP-negative SNr cells were carried out. However only 80 samples that passed initial quality control and that were included in the data processing are represented in this record.

Subcellular and regional localization of mRNA translation in midbrain dopamine neurons

Project description:Local translation within excitatory and inhibitory neurons is known to be involved in neuronal development and synaptic plasticity. Despite the extensive dendritic and axonal arborizations of monoaminergic neurons, the subcellular localization of protein synthesis has not been well-characterized in these populations. Here, we investigated mRNA localization in midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) neurons, cells with enormous axonal and dendritic projections, both of which can release dopamine (DA). Using highly-sensitive sequencing and imaging approaches in mDA axons, we found no evidence for axonal mRNA localization or translation. In contrast, we found that mDA neuronal dendritic projections into the substantia nigra reticulata (SNr) contain ribosomes and mRNAs encoding the DA synthesis, release, and reuptake machinery. Surprisingly, we found dendritic localization of mRNAs encoding synaptic vesicular release proteins in mDA neurons. Our results are consistent with a role for local translation in the regulation of DA transmission from dendrites, but not striatal axons. Finally, we defined a molecular signature of sparse mDA neurons in the SNr, including enrichment of an ER calcium pump previously undescribed in mDA neurons.

The NALCN channel regulates metastasis and non-malignant cell dissemination (Bulk RNA-Seq)

Project description:We identify the Sodium Leak Channel Non-Selective Protein (NALCN) as a key regulator of cancer metastasis and non-malignant cell dissemination. Among 10,022 human cancers, NALCN loss-of-function mutations were enriched in gastric and colorectal cancers. Deletion of Nalcn from gastric, intestinal or pancreatic adenocarcinomas in mice did not alter tumour incidence, but markedly increased the number of circulating tumour cells (CTCs) and metastases. Treatment of these mice with gadolinium–a NALCN channel blocker–similarly increased CTCs and metastases. Deletion of Nalcn from mice that lacked oncogenic mutations and never developed cancer, caused shedding of epithelial cells into the blood at levels equivalent to those seen in tumour-bearing animals. These cells trafficked to distant organs to form normal structures including lung epithelium and kidney glomeruli and tubules. Thus, NALCN regulates cell shedding from solid tissues independent of cancer, divorcing this process from tumourigenesis and unmasking a potential new target for anti-metastatic therapies.

Transcriptome profiling for seed abortion in Ponkan (Citrus reticulata)

Project description:Seed developmental arrest is one of the early phenotypes of seed abortion. However, the molecular mechanism underlying seed developmental arrest of citrus is still unclear. In this study, laser capture microdissection (LCM) was used to accurately divide the seeds of seedless Ponkan ‘Huagan No.4’ (Citrus reticulata) (HG) and seeded Ponkan ‘Egan No.1’ (Citrus reticulata) (EG) into nucellus and integument/seed coat tissues. The captured tissues were used for subsequent RNA-seq. Moreover, single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing was used to generate full-length transcripts of EG, which were used as reference transcripts for RNA-seq. These data can be utilized to analyse the causes of citrus seedlessness formation and the molecular regulatory network in the process of seed abortion.
