Neural Circuit-Specialized Astrocytes: Transcriptomic, Proteomic, Morphological, and Functional Evidence.

Project description:Astrocytes are ubiquitous in the brain and are widely held to be largely identical. However, this view has not been fully tested, and the possibility that astrocytes are neural circuit specialized remains largely unexplored. Here, we used multiple integrated approaches, including RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), mass spectrometry, electrophysiology, immunohistochemistry, serial block-face-scanning electron microscopy, morphological reconstructions, pharmacogenetics, and diffusible dye, calcium, and glutamate imaging, to directly compare adult striatal and hippocampal astrocytes under identical conditions. We found significant differences in electrophysiological properties, Ca2+ signaling, morphology, and astrocyte-synapse proximity between striatal and hippocampal astrocytes. Unbiased evaluation of actively translated RNA and proteomic data confirmed significant astrocyte diversity between hippocampal and striatal circuits. We thus report core astrocyte properties, reveal evidence for specialized astrocytes within neural circuits, and provide new, integrated database resources and approaches to explore astrocyte diversity and function throughout the adult brain.

Astrocyte alterations that accompany neuroinflammation induced anhedonia

Project description:The Khakh laboratory sequenced RNA from both whole and astrocyte specific RNAs from mouse prefrontal cortex and visual cortex by using Aldh1l1-CreERT2 - RiboTag mice. RNA was purified from controls and LPS injected mice, 1, 2 and 14 days after the injection.

Astrocyte Gi signaling activation in the striatum

Project description:The Khakh laboratory used astrocyte selective AAVs expressing Rpl22-HA and hM4Di, a Gi DREADD, in the striatum. Mice recieved either 1 mg/kg CNO or vehicle to compare striatal astrocyte transcriptomes with and without Gi-GPCR signaling activation.

Astrocyte molecular signatures during Huntington’s disease progression and following huntingtin lowering with zinc finger protein transcriptional repressors

Project description:The Khakh laboratory used gfaABC1D-RiboTag AAVs to purify and sequence astrocyte actively translated mRNAs from Huntington's disease mouse models at several stages of the disease. Two weeks after AAV injection, striata were homogenized and RNA was purified from (i) cleared lysate as the input and control, and (ii) astrocyte-specific ribosome-associated RNA precipitated via a hemagglutinin (HA) tag. R6/2 mice are a fast developing model of Huntington's disease. Striatal cells show mutant HTT inclusions as early as 4 weeks of age. These mice show the first motor and cognitive symptoms around that age, but they become more evident around 8 week old and progressively impair until the mouse death that occurs around 13 weeks of age. Motor symptoms include increased paw clasping and grooming, impaired grip strength and rotarod performance, gait alterations, involuntary movements, etc. Cognitive impairment includes defects in learning and memory. NCAR mice are the healthy "non-carrier" controls for R6/2. They don't have unexpected phenotypes.

Transcriptional analysis of murine cortical astrocytes with adeno-associated viral transduction with and without 4x6T miR cassette, vs transgenically labeled astrocytes

Project description:We generated adeno-associated Cre viral vectors with improved astrocyte-specific expression by including a cassette of miRNA targeting sequences (4x6T) to decrease off-target expression. We delivered these viruses in Ribotag mice using the PHP.eB serotype, either intracortically or systemically. We compared these samples with mice that received intracortical AAV2/5::GfaABC1D-Cre and transgenic Aldh1l1-CreERT2/Ribotag mice. We sequenced whole-tissue RNA as well as ribosomally-loaded astrocyte-enriched mRNA to assess cell-type specificity of viruses as well as virus-related transcriptomic changes.

Specific and behaviorally consequential astrocyte G q GPCR signaling attenuation in vivo with iβARK

Project description:The Khakh laboratory used astrocyte selective AAVs expressing Rpl22-HA along with bARK for attenuating Gq pathway signaling in the dorsal striatum. In the control group, bARK(D110A), which is a mutated control of bARK was expressed instead of bARK. The mouse striatum expressing either bARK or bARK(D110A) was subjected to RNA-seq in order to compare striatal astrocyte transcriptomes with and without Gq-GPCR signaling attenuation.

Control of Striatal Circuit Development by the Chromatin Regulator Zswim6 [snRNA-Seq]

Project description:The pathophysiology of neurodevelopmental disorders involves vulnerable neural populations, including striatal circuitry, and convergent molecular nodes, including chromatin regulation and synapse function. Despite this, how epigenetic regulation regulates striatal development is understudied. Recurrent de novo mutations in Zswim6 are associated with intellectual disability and autism. We demonstrate that ZSWIM6 localizes to the nucleus where it associates with repressive chromatin regulators. Disruption of Zswim6 in ventral telencephalic progenitors leads to increased chromatin accessibility and transcriptional dysregulation. Ablating Zswim6 in either striatal direct or indirect pathway spiny projection neurons resulted in similar cell-autonomous changes in excitatory but not inhibitory synaptic transmission. Specifically, Zswim6 disruption altered the desensitization properties of AMPA receptors, leading to enhanced synaptic recruitment of SPNs, explaining SPN-subtype specific effects on activity and behavioral sub-structure. Finally, adult deletion of Zswim6 identified a continuing role in the maintenance of mature striatal synapses. Together, we describe a mechanistic role for Zswim6 in the epigenetic control of striatal synaptic development.

A Specialized Neural Circuit Gates Social Vocalizations in the Mouse.

Project description:Vocalizations are fundamental to mammalian communication, but the underlying neural circuits await detailed characterization. Here, we used an intersectional genetic method to label and manipulate neurons in the midbrain periaqueductal gray (PAG) that are transiently active in male mice when they produce ultrasonic courtship vocalizations (USVs). Genetic silencing of PAG-USV neurons rendered males unable to produce USVs and impaired their ability to attract females. Conversely, activating PAG-USV neurons selectively triggered USV production, even in the absence of any female cues. Optogenetic stimulation combined with axonal tracing indicates that PAG-USV neurons gate downstream vocal-patterning circuits. Indeed, activating PAG neurons that innervate the nucleus retroambiguus, but not those innervating the parabrachial nucleus, elicited USVs in both male and female mice. These experiments establish that a dedicated population of PAG neurons gives rise to a descending circuit necessary and sufficient for USV production while also demonstrating the communicative salience of male USVs.
