Identification of preoptic sleep-promoting neurons based on projection target

ABSTRACT: The preoptic area (POA) of the hypothalamus is known to be crucial for sleep generation, but the spatial intermingling of sleep- and wake-promoting neurons makes it difficult to dissect the sleep control circuit. Here we identified a population of POA sleep-promoting neurons based on their projection target. Using a lentivirus for retrograde labeling with channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) followed by optogenetic manipulation and recording, we found that the POA GABAergic neurons projecting to the tuberomammillary nucleus (TMN) are both sleep active and sleep promoting. Cell type- and projection-specific rabies tracing revealed the presynaptic inputs to these neurons, including an amygdala GABAergic input that promotes wakefulness. Using single-cell RNA-seq, we identified several molecular markers for these neurons, and optogenetic activation of the POA neurons labeled by these markers confirmed their sleep-promoting effects. Together, these findings define a group of sleep-promoting neurons functionally, anatomically, and genetically.

Identification of molecular markers for candidate sleep-promoting neurons in CeA using TRAP-seq

Project description:A crucial step in understanding the sleep-control mechanism is to identify sleep neurons. In principle, a neuron could promote sleep by inhibiting wake-promoting neurons. Using rabies virus (RV)-mediated transsynaptic tracing, we identified several brain regions with GABAergic neurons that broadly inhibit multiple wake-promoting neuronal populations, and the most prominent source of GABAergic inputs was found in a posterior part of the CeA. The CeA is known to contain multiple subtypes of GABAergic neurons with distinct molecular markers, projection targets, and functional properties. Using translating ribosome affinity purification (TRAP) RNA-Seq, we identified molecular markers for the canditate sleep-promoting neurons in CeA.

Optogenetic neural stem cells microarray

Project description:We elucidate the transcriptome effects of optogenetics on developing neural stem cells population. The application of optogenetics in neural stem cell (NSC), allow photo-modulation of NSC in an activity-dependent manner. This provided spatio-temporal tool for studying activity dependent neurogenesis, including the potential of regulating the differentiation and maturation process of transplanted NSC. Currently, this is mainly driven by virally transfected of Channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) gene, which also requires high irradiance and complex in vitro stimulation systems. Additionally, despite the extensive application of optogenetics in neuroscience, the question of what transcriptome changes does optogenetic stimulation induced in developing NSCs have not been elucidated yet. To address these questions, we established a NSC line, expressing high light-sensitivity step-function opsin (SFO) variant of the chimeric channelrhodopsin, ChRFR(C167A) (~40x higher than ChR2), via the non-viral piggyBac transposon system. We set up a simple low-irradiance optogenetics stimulation-incubation system, which sufficiently induced depolarization in differentiating NSCs. We significantly enhance neurogenesis with low power optogenetic stimulation by 3 folds. Through microarray analysis, we have identified the genes and signaling pathways in axonal remodeling, synaptic plasticity and microenvironment modulation from optogenetic stimulation. Our results elucidate the transcriptome effects of optogenetics and the ability to drive neurogenesis with low irradiance optogenetics.

Analysis of gene expression signatures in brown adipose tissue (BAT) following acute activation of AgRP neurons

Project description:We have found that acute activation of AgRP-neurons lead to inhibition of insulin-stimulated glucose uptake into BAT. Based on this finding, we asked whether this effect was accompanied by acute changes in gene expression, which could point to the mechanism(s) underlying the impaired insulin sensitivity. In summary, our data suggest that activation of AgRP-neurons actuely reprograms gene expression in BAT towards a myogenic profile. The arcuate nucleus of 4 mice expressing channelrhodopsin 2 in AgRP-neurons through Cre-mediated recombination (ChR2-AgRP) and 4 Cre-negative controls (ChR2-fl/WT, Ctrl), were stimulated with blue laser light for one hour, total RNA from BAT was isolated and subjected to a microarray-based gene expression analysis.

Whole worm proteomics after optogenetically induced mechanical muscle stress (OptIMMuS)

Project description:This project includes 16 samples of transgenic C. elegans whole worm lysate after mechanical stress in 4 replicates of 4 conditions. Transgenic C. elegans strains expressing the optogenetic channelrhodopsin mutant ChR2(C128S;H134R)-FLAG in body wall muscle cells (PP3189 hhIs251[myo-3p::ChR2(C128S,H134R)-FLAG::unc-54 3'UTR, Cbrunc-119(+)]) were used to contract the worms’ muscles by blue light illumination to induce mechanical muscle stress. The optogenetic channel is activated by adding the cofactor all-trans retinal (ATR) to it’s food source E. coli OP50. In this experiment, we compared the treatment condition (1) worms after 8 h of illumination on plates with ATR (light plus ATR) to three control conditions: (2) illumination on plates without ATR (light minus ATR), (3) worms kept in the dark on plates with ATR (dark plus ATR), and (4) worms kept in the dark on plates without ATR (dark minus ATR).

Transcriptome analysis by RNA sequencing of the cortical brain in a mouse model of early life pain

Project description:Preterm children are frequently exposed to various painful stimuli in the early days of life. Early-life-pain (ELP) may affect cortical development and reduce the fitness and resilience in during youth and adult life. We developed an optogenetic Cre/loxP mouse model of "early-life-pain" (ELP) using mice with transgenic expression of an improved channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2)/Td-Tomato fusion protein under control of the advillin promoter, that drives expression of ChR2/td-Tomato specifically in primary somatosensory neurons of the dorsal root ganglia (Avil-ChR2 mice). Floxed ChR2/td-Tomato littermates (ChR2-flfl) were used as controls. Mice were exposed to blue light in a chamber once daily from postnatal day P1-P5. Cortical gene expression was analyzed at P7 via RNA-sequencing in eight biological replicates per group. Cortices were rapidly excised and snap froze in liquid nitrogen. Total RNA was extracted from with Qiagen RNeays spin columns and quantified on a Nanodrop. Sequencing libraries were prepared using Illumina TruSeq stranded mRNA library preparation kit, and sequencing was performed on an Illumina NGS platform. The alignment was performed with SeqMan NGen 17 (Lasergene) using the reference genome mm10 provided from UCSC (GRCm38) as template, a minimum read length of 35 bp and automatic adapter trimming. Sequence reads were normalized with EdgeR and analyzed in ArrayStar 17 (Lasergene). Differential gene expression was assessed with general linear models and adjusted according to Benjamini Hochberg.

Rapid conversion of fibroblasts into functional forebrain GABAergic interneurons by direct genetic reprogramming

Project description:Transplantation of GABAergic interneurons (INs) can sustain long-standing benefits in animal models of epilepsy and other neurological disorders. In a therapeutic perspective, a renewable source of functional GABAergic INs is needed. Here, we identified five factors (Foxg1, Sox2, Ascl1, Dlx5 and Lhx6) able to convert fibroblasts directly into induced GABAergic INs (iGABA-INs), displaying the molecular signature of telencephalic INs. The selected factors recapitulate in fibroblasts the activation of transcriptional networks required for the specification of GABAergic fate during telencephalon development. iGABA-INs exhibited progressively maturing firing patterns comparable to those of cortical INs, had synaptic currents and released GABA. Importantly, upon grafting in the hippocampus, iGABA-INs survived, matured and their optogenetic stimulation triggered GABAergic transmission and inhibited the activity of connected granule cells. The five factors also converted human cells into functional GABAergic neurons. These properties define iGABA-INs as a promising tool for disease modeling and cell-based therapeutic approaches. Comparison of iGABA-INs transcriptional profile with those of starting fibroblasts and GAD67-GFP+ cortical interneurons.

Expression profile of adult mouse POA/BF regions

Project description:The adult mammalian brain is composed of distinct regions that have specialized roles. The BF/POA regions are thought to have an important role in the regulation of sleep/wake behavior. However, genetic markers of the responsible cells for the regulation of sleep/wake behavior are largely unknown. To identify the molecular markers of the BF/POA regions, we sampled the BF/POA regions and compared gene expression in the BF/POA regions with those of other brain regions which we previously reported in the BrainStars (B*) project, in which we sampled ~50 small brain regions, including sensory centers and centers for motion, time, memory, fear, and feeding. We sampled each region every 4 hours for 24 hours, and pooled the sample sets for DNA-microarray assays. We then used informatics to identify candidates for genes with high or low expression in the BF/POA regions. We used our findings to develop an integrated database (http://poabf.brainstars.org/) for exploring genome-wide expression in the adult mouse brain including the BF/POA regions.

Circadian VIPergic neurons of the suprachiasmatic nuclei sculpt the sleep-wake cycle

Project description:Although the mammalian rest-activity cycle is controlled by a "master clock" in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus, it is unclear how firing of individual SCN neurons gates individual features of daily activity. Here, we demonstrate that a specific transcriptomically identified population of mouse VIP+ SCN neurons is active at the "wrong" time of the day -nighttime- when most SCN neurons are silent. Using chemogenetic and optogenetic strategies, we show that these neurons and their cellular clocks are necessary and sufficient to gate and time nighttime sleep, but have no effect upon daytime sleep. We propose mouse nighttime sleep, analogous to the human siesta, is a "hard-wired" property gated by specific neurons of the master clock to favor subsequent alertness prior to dawn (a circadian "wake maintenance zone"). Thus, the SCN is not simply a 24h metronome: specific populations sculpt critical features of the sleep-wake cycle.
