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.

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.

Local and CNS-wide astrocyte intracellular calcium signalling attenuation in vivo with CalExflox mice: experimental and computational exploration

Project description:In this study, we generated knock-in CalExflox mice (Calcium Extrusion) for Cre-dependent expression of mCherry-hPMCA2w/b to attenuate astrocyte calcium signaling in genetically defined cells in vivo. We crossed CalExflox mice to astrocyte specific Aldh1l1-Cre/ERT2 mice in order to achieve inducible global CNS-wide calicum signaling attenuation. Within six days of induction in the bigenic mice, we observed profoundly altered ambulation in the open field, disrupted motor coordination and gait, and premature lethality, which based on imaging, behavioural, and RNA-seq analyses was likely to be partly due to significant cerebellar defects.

Candelabrum cells are ubiquitous cerebellar cortex interneurons with specialized circuit properties.

Project description:To understand how the cerebellar cortex transforms mossy fiber (MF) inputs into Purkinje cell (PC) outputs, it is vital to delineate the elements of this circuit. Candelabrum cells (CCs) are enigmatic interneurons of the cerebellar cortex that have been identified based on their morphology, but their electrophysiological properties, synaptic connections and function remain unknown. Here, we clarify these properties using electrophysiology, single-nucleus RNA sequencing, in situ hybridization and serial electron microscopy in mice. We find that CCs are the most abundant PC layer interneuron. They are GABAergic, molecularly distinct and present in all cerebellar lobules. Their high resistance renders CC firing highly sensitive to synaptic inputs. CCs are excited by MFs and granule cells and are strongly inhibited by PCs. CCs in turn primarily inhibit molecular layer interneurons, which leads to PC disinhibition. Thus, inputs, outputs and local signals converge onto CCs to allow them to assume a unique role in controlling cerebellar output.
