A Molecular Census of Arcuate Hypothalamus and Median Eminence Cell Types

A molecular census of arcuate hypothalamus and median eminence cell types.

Project description:The hypothalamic arcuate-median eminence complex (Arc-ME) controls energy balance, fertility and growth through molecularly distinct cell types, many of which remain unknown. To catalog cell types in an unbiased way, we profiled gene expression in 20,921 individual cells in and around the adult mouse Arc-ME using Drop-seq. We identify 50 transcriptionally distinct Arc-ME cell populations, including a rare tanycyte population at the Arc-ME diffusion barrier, a new leptin-sensing neuron population, multiple agouti-related peptide (AgRP) and pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) subtypes, and an orexigenic somatostatin neuron population. We extended Drop-seq to detect dynamic expression changes across relevant physiological perturbations, revealing cell type-specific responses to energy status, including distinct responses in AgRP and POMC neuron subtypes. Finally, integrating our data with human genome-wide association study data implicates two previously unknown neuron populations in the genetic control of obesity. This resource will accelerate biological discovery by providing insights into molecular and cell type diversity from which function can be inferred.

Rapid nutritional regulation of oligodendrocytes of the adult hypothalamic median eminence revealed by single-cell transcriptomic analysis

Project description:The median eminence (ME) of the hypothalamus is a structure that rapidly adapts to nutrient availability. We have used single-cell RNA sequencing to characterize the transcriptional profiles of cells specifically in the median eminence in the fasted and refed states. In our study, we focus on characterizing the oligodendrocyte population of the ME, and identifying how subpopulations respond to nutrient availability.

Deficiency of Irx5 protects mice from obesity and associated metabolic abnormalities

Project description:Here we aim to decipher the actions of Irx5 in the regulation of obesity and metabolic abnormalities. We employed a mouse model homozygous for an Irx5-knockout (Irx5KO) allele and conducted droplet based single-cell RNA sequencing (Drop-seq) in the hypothalamic arcuate-median eminence (ARC-ME), which is the main control center for sensing and integrating feeding regulatory signals.

Arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus cells are sensitive to nutritional state in a sex dependent manner.

Project description:Obesity has reached epidemic levels and obesity increases the risk for negative health outcomes including type 2 diabetes. Sex differences are evident in metabolic homeostasis with differences seen both in amount and location of adipose stores. Males store more adipose viscerally whereas females store adipose subcutaneously. Interestingly, this can be affected by the brain. The arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus is a key brain region that exerts control over feeding behavior and metabolism. The cells of the arcuate are heterogeneous in their transcriptomic expression and in their functions. Here we perform single nuclei RNA-sequencing of the arcuate in females and males under varying nutritional states. We found that Agrp neurons were the most sensitive to nutritional state and this was more pronounced in females than in males. KNDy neurons were also sensitive to nutritional state and major sex differences were observed. Dopamine neurons of the arcuate had major sex differences. Ghrh neurons saw moderate nutritional regulation and sexual dimorphism. Both microglia and oligodendrocytes had moderate differences observed between nutritional states. This study represents the first major effort to characterize sex differences across nutritional states in the arcuate.

Single-cell gene expression profile of the postnatal mouse arcuate nucleus in the hypothalamus

Project description:m6A, the most prevalent internal modification on mRNAs, plays important roles in the nervous system. Whether neurogenesis in the hypothalamus, a region critical for controlling appetite, is regulated by m6A signaling, especially in humans, remains unclear. Here we showed that deletion of m6A writer Mettl14 in the mouse embryonic hypothalamus led to adult obesity, with impaired glucose-insulin homoeostasis and increased energy intake. Mechanistically, deletion of Mettl14 leads to hypothalamic arcuate nucleus neurogenesis deficits with reduced generation of feeding-related neurons and dysregulation of neurogenesis-related m6A-tagged transcripts. Deletion of m6A writer Mettl3, or m6A reader Ythdc1, shared similar phenotypes. METTL14 or YTHDC1 knockdown also led to reduced generation of feeding-related neurons in human brain subregion-specific arcuate nucleus organoids. Our studies reveal a conserved role of m6A signaling in arcuate nucleus neurogenesis in mice and human organoids and shed light on the developmental basis of epitranscriptomic regulation of food intake and energy homeostasis.

Single-cell Transcriptomic Profiling of the Hypothalamic Median Eminence during Aging

Project description:Aging is a slow and progressive natural process that compromises the normal functions of cells, tissues, organs and systems. The aging of the hypothalamic median eminence (ME), a structural gate linking neural and endocrine systems, may impair hormone release, energy homeostasis and central sensing of circulating molecules, leading to systemic and reproductive aging. However, the molecular and cellular features of ME aging remain largely unknown. Here we describe the transcriptional landscape of young and middle-aged mouse ME at single-cell resolution, revealing the common and cell-type-specific transcriptional changes with age. The transcriptional changes in cell-intrinsic programs, cell-cell crosstalk and cell-extrinsic factors highlight five molecular features of ME aging and also implicate several potentially druggable targets at cellular, signaling and molecular levels. Importantly, our results suggest that vascular and leptomeningeal cells may lead the asynchronized aging process among diverse cell types and drive local inflammation and cellular senescence via a unique secretome. Together, our study uncovers how intrinsic and extrinsic features of each cell type in the hypothalamic ME are changed by the aging process, which will facilitate our understanding of brain aging and provide clues for efficient anti-aging intervention at the middle-aged stage.
