Activity-dependent transcriptional changes in human neurons

ABSTRACT: We used genome-wide sequencing methods to identify activity-regulated gene expression and regulatory elements in human neurons. Sensory stimuli drive the maturation and function of the mammalian nervous system in part through the activation of gene expression networks that regulate synapse development and plasticity. These programs of gene transcription have primarily been studied in mice, and it is not known if there are neuronal activity-regulated genes that control features of brain development and function that are unique to humans. In this study, we used genome-wide sequencing methods to identify activity-regulated gene expression and regulatory elements in human neurons.

Arnt2 tunes activity-dependent gene expression through NCoR2-mediated repression and Npas4-mediated activation

Project description:ChIP-, ATAC-, and RNA-seq data Neuronal activity-dependent transcription is tuned to ensure precise gene induction during periods of heightened synaptic activity, allowing for appropriate responses of activated neurons within neural circuits. The consequences of aberrant induction of activity-dependent genes on neuronal physiology are not yet clear. Here, we demonstrate that, in the absence of synaptic excitation, the basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH)-PAS family transcription factor ARNT2 recruits the NCoR2 co-repressor complex to suppress neuronal activity-dependent regulatory elements and maintain low basal levels of inducible genes. This restricts inhibition of excitatory neurons, maintaining them in a state that is receptive to future sensory stimuli. By contrast, in response to heightened neuronal activity, ARNT2 recruits the neuronal-specific bHLH-PAS factor NPAS4 to activity-dependent regulatory elements to induce transcription and thereby increase somatic inhibitory input. Thus, the interplay of bHLH-PAS complexes at activity-dependent regulatory elements maintains temporal control of activity-dependent gene expression and scales somatic inhibition with circuit activity.

Genome-wide identification and characterization of functional neuronal activity-dependent enhancers

Project description:Experience-dependent gene transcription is required for nervous system development and function. However, the DNA regulatory elements that control this program of gene expression are not well defined. Here we characterize the enhancers that function across the genome to mediate activity-dependent transcription in neurons. While ~12,000 putative activity-regulated enhancer sequences have previously been identified that are enriched for H3K4me1 and the histone acetyltransferase CBP, we find that this chromatin signature is not sufficient to distinguish which of these regulatory sequences are actively engaged in promoting activity-dependent transcription. We show here that a subset of H3K4me1/CBP positive enhancers that is enriched for H3K27 acetylation (H3K27ac) in vivo, and shows increased H3K27ac upon membrane depolarization of cortical neurons, function to regulate activity-dependent transcription. The function of many of these activity-regulated enhancers appears to be dependent on the binding of FOS, a protein that had previously been thought to interact primarily with the promoters of activity-regulated genes. Furthermore, many of these target genes in cortical neurons encode neuron specific proteins that regulate synaptic development and function. These findings suggest that FOS functions at enhancers to control activity-dependent gene programs that are critical for nervous system function, and provide a resource of activity-dependent enhancers that may give insight into genetic variation that contributes to brain development and disease. Genome-wide maps of H3K27ac and AP1 transcription factors (CFOS, FOSB, JUNB) before and after neuronal activity in mouse cortical neurons.

Transcriptomic analysis of ATP6V1A knock-down and amyloid beta-treated neurons

Project description:ATP6V1A plays a unique role in synapse function in neurons and we found decreased neuronal activity in ATP6V1A-deficient neurons. To characterize the molecular pathways regulated by ATP6V1A under both normal and stressed conditions, we generated hiPSC-derived NGN2-neurons with reduced ATP6V1A expression by CRISPRi knock-down (KD) and performed RNA-seq analysis on the wild-type and KD neurons which were subject to amyloid-beta or vehicle treatment. A number of gene ontology (GO)/pathways were identified in KD neurons without amyloid-beta treatment (proton transporting V-ATPase complex, phagosome acidification and trivalent inorganic cation transport were down-regulated, and mitochondrial protein complex up-regulated), while KD in amyloid-beta treated cells specifically resulted in down-regulation of cell adhesion, synapse assembly and structure/activity and up-regulation of UPR and ER stress response.

Expression data from mouse proprioceptive sensory neuron subclasses.

Project description:Proprioception relies on two main classes of proprioceptive sensory neurons (pSNs). These neurons innervate two distinct peripheral receptors in muscle, muscle spindles (MSs) or Golgi tendon organs (GTOs), and synapse onto different sets of spinal targets, but the molecular basis of their distinct pSN subtype identity remains unknown. We used microarray analysis to compare gene expression profiles between MS- and GTO- innervating proprioceptors.

Neuronal activity promotes nuclear proteasome-mediated degradation of PDCD4 to regulate activity-dependent transcription in neurons

Project description:Activity-dependent gene expression is critical for synapse development and plasticity. To elucidate novel mechanisms linking neuronal activity to changes in transcription, we compared the nuclear proteomes of tetrodotoxin-silenced and bicuculline-stimulated cultured neurons using nuclear-localized APEX2 proximity biotinylation and mass spectrometry. The tumor suppressor protein PDCD4 was enriched in the nuclear proteome of silenced neurons, and PDCD4 levels rapidly decreased in the nucleus and cytoplasm of stimulated neurons. The activity-dependent decrease of PDCD4 was prevented by inhibitors of both PKC and proteasome activity and by a phospho-incompetent mutation of Ser71 in the βTRCP ubiquitin ligase-binding motif of PDCD4. We compared the activity-dependent transcriptomes of neurons expressing wildtype or degradation-resistant (S71A) PDCD4. We identified 91 genes as PDCD4 targets at the transcriptional level, including genes encoding proteins critical for synapse formation, remodeling, and transmission. Our findings indicate that regulated degradation of nuclear PDCD4 facilitates activity-dependent transcription in neurons.

EGAS00001001149-sc-20170117 - samples

Project description:Sensory neurons are nerve cells that are activated by sensory input such as heat, light and convey information to the brain. Although a key cell type in complex organisms, human sensory neurons are challenging to study because they are impossible to obtain from living donors. We have collaborated with the Neucentis Pharmaceutical Research Unit to differentiate sensory neuron like cells from human induced pluripotent stem cells derived as part of the Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Initiative. We will sequence RNA from 100 IPS lines derived from healthy individuals and perform RNA-seq on the differentiated cells to identify noncoding variants that alter gene expression in human sensory neurons.

Gene-regulatory networks activated by pattern-specific generation of action potentials in dorsal root ganglia neurons

Project description:Development and plasticity in the nervous system are regulated by specific patterns of neural impulse activity. Patterned activity orchestrates spatial and temporal changes in the expression of networks of genes. These gene regulatory networks underlie the long-term changes in cell specification, growth of synaptic connections, and frequency adaptation that occur throughout neonatal and postnatal life. We show that the temporal nature of action potentials and downstream signaling differentially regulate the expression of hundreds of diverse neuronal genes through distinct gene regulatory networks. Analysis of upstream regulatory regions showed enrichment in transcription factor binding sites for NF-Kappa that was action potential firing pattern specific. Our new findings demonstrate spike-frequency decoding by action potentials at the transcriptional level by pattern-specific activation of transcription factors and associated gene-regulatory networks that operate to adjust the modalities of sensory neurons. We analyzed the transcriptomic changes in primary cultures of embronic dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons subjected to four electric stimulation patterns with respect to their non-stimulated counterparts. We have adopted the multiple yellow strategy in which differently fluorescent labeled biological replicas are co-hybridized with each array and then similarly labeled samples from cells subjected to different conditions are compared and results averaged over the two labels.

SHANK2 mutations associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder cause hyperconnectivity of human neurons

Project description:Heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in the synaptic scaffolding gene SHANK2 are strongly associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). To investigate their effect on synaptic connectivity, we generated cortical neurons from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) derived from neurotypic and ASD-affected donors. We developed Sparse coculture for Connectivity (SparCon) assays where SHANK2 and control neurons were differentially labeled and sparsely seeded together on a lawn of unlabeled control neurons. We observed striking increases in dendrite length, dendrite complexity, total synapse number, and frequency of spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents. These findings were phenocopied in gene-edited homozygous SHANK2 knockout cells and rescued by gene correction of an ASD SHANK2 muation, supporting a role for SHANK2 as a regulator of connectivity in developing human neurons. Dendrite length increases were exacerbated by IGF1, TG003, or BDNF, and suppressed by DHPG treatment. The transcriptome in these isogenic SHANK2 neurons was deeply perturbed in synapse, plasticity, and neuronal morphogenesis gene sets and ASD gene modules, and activity-dependent dendrite extension was impaired. Our unexpected findings provide evidence for hyperconnectivity and profoundly altered transcriptome in SHANK2 neurons derived from ASD subjects.
