MolPsy2024_YZWang_Neuron type-specific proteomics

ABSTRACT: Combinatorial expression of postsynaptic proteins underlies synapse diversity within and between neuron types. Thus, characterization of neuron-type-specific postsynaptic proteomes is key to obtaining a deeper understanding of discrete synaptic properties and how selective dysfunction manifests in synaptopathies. To overcome the limitations associated with bulk measures of synaptic protein abundance, we developed a biotin proximity protein tagging probe to characterize neuron-type-specific postsynaptic proteomes in vivo. We found Shank3 protein isoforms are differentially expressed by direct and indirect pathway spiny projection neurons (dSPNs and iSPNs). Investigation of Shank3B-/- mice lacking exons 13-16 within the Shank3 gene, reveal distinct Shank3 protein isoform expression in iSPNs and dSPNs. In Shank3B-/- striatum, Shank3E and Shank3NT are expressed by dSPNs but are undetectable in iSPNs. Proteomic analysis indicates significant and selective alterations in the postsynaptic proteome of Shank3B-/- iSPNs. Correspondingly, the deletion of exons 13-16 diminishes dendritic spine density, reduces spine head diameter, and hampers corticostriatal synaptic transmission in iSPNs. Remarkably, reintroducing Shank3E in adult Shank3B-/- iSPNs significantly rectifies the observed dendritic spine morphological and corticostriatal synaptic transmission deficits. We report unexpected cell-type specific synaptic protein isoform expression which could play a key causal role in specifying synapse diversity and selective synapse dysfunction in synaptopathies.

S-SCAM is essential for synapse formation

Project description:Synapse formation is critical for the wiring of neural circuits in the developing brain. The synaptic scaffolding protein S-SCAM/MAGI-2 has important roles in the assembly of signaling complexes at postsynaptic densities. However, the role of S-SCAM in establishing the entire synapse is not known. Here, we report significant effects of RNAi-induced S-SCAM knockdown on the number of synapses in early stages of network development in vitro. In vivo knockdown during the first three postnatal weeks reduced the number of dendritic spines in the rat brain neocortex. Knockdown of S-SCAM in cultured hippocampal neurons severely reduced the clustering of both pre- and postsynaptic components. This included synaptic vesicle proteins, pre- and postsynaptic scaffolding proteins, and cell adhesion molecules, suggesting that entire synapses fail to form. Correspondingly, functional and morphological characteristics of developing neurons were affected by reducing S-SCAM protein levels: neurons displayed severely impaired synaptic transmission and reduced dendritic arborization. A next generation sequencing approach showed normal expression of housekeeping genes, but changes of expression levels in 39 synaptic signaling molecules in cultured neurons. These results indicate that S-SCAM mediates the recruitment of all key classes of synaptic molecules during synapse assembly and is critical for the development of neural circuits in the developing brain.

Neuroligin 3 Splice Isoforms Shape Mouse Hippocampal Inhibitory Synaptic Function

Project description:Synapse formation is a dynamic process essential for neuronal circuit development and maturation. At the synaptic cleft, trans-synaptic protein-protein interactions constitute major biological determinants of proper synapse efficacy. The balance of excitatory and inhibitory synaptic transmission (E-I balance) stabilizes synaptic activity and its dysregulation has been implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders including autism spectrum disorders. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying E-I balance remains to be elucidated. Here, we investigate Neuroligin (Nlgn) genes which encode a family of postsynaptic adhesion molecules that shape excitatory and inhibitory synaptic function. We identified that NLGN3 protein differentially regulates inhibitory synaptic transmission in a splice isoform-dependent manner in hippocampal CA1 synapses. Distinct subcellular localization patterns of NLGN3 isoforms contribute to the functional differences observed among splice variants. Finally, our single-cell sequencing analysis reveals that Nlgn1 and Nlgn3 are the major Nlgn genes and that Nlgn splice isoforms are highly diverse in CA1 pyramidal neurons.

A Specific Neuroligin3-αNeurexin1Signaling Regulates GABAergic Synaptic Function in Mouse Hippocampus

Project description:Synapses are fundamental organizers of precise signal propagation between neurons. Maintaining synapse assemblies require interactions between pre- and post- synaptic proteins, notably cell adhesion molecules (CAMs). It has been proposed that the function of Neuroligins (Nlgn1 - 4), postsynaptic CAMs, relies on the formation of trans-synaptic complexes with Neurexins (Nrxs), presynaptic CAMs. Nlgn3 is a unique Nlgn isoform that localizes at both excitatory and inhibitory synapses. However, Nlgn3 function mediated through Nrx interaction is mostly unknown. Here, we find for the first time that Nlgn3 localizes at postsynaptic sites apposing vesicular glutamate transporter 3 (VGT3)-expressing inhibitory terminals. Overexpression and knockdown approaches indicate that Nlgn3 regulates VGT3-positive inhibitory interneuron-mediated synaptic transmission. Fluorescent in situ hybridization and single-cell RNA sequencing studies revealed that αNrxn1 and βNrxn3 are VGT3 interneuron-specific Nrxn isoforms and the expression levels of Nrxn splice isoforms are highly diverse in VGT3 interneurons, respectively. Most importantly, postsynaptic Nlgn3 requires presynaptic αNrx1+AS4 expressed in VGT3-positive interneurons to regulate inhibitory synaptic transmission. Our results strongly suggest that specific Nlgn-Nrx interaction generate distinct functional properties at synapses.

p140Cap interactome in breast cancer cells

Project description:Even though neuronal and cancer cells have quite different purposes in the body, there is growing evidence that metastatic cancer cells implement signaling mechanisms found in homeostasis of synaptic growth/plasticity. Recent studies have highlight some remarkable similarities in both form and function of these two unique cell type. The p140Cap adaptor protein is an example of a mo-lecular hub that controls cancer cell migration and invasion through regulating protein complexes at cellular adhesions. Moreover, p140Cap in neurons is likely very important for normal brain function-ing, as it works as scaffold in postsynaptic signal transmission complexes and regulates F-actin re-modelling, which results in neuron dendritic spines synaptic plasticity It recruits and regulates signaling molecules both in breast cancer cells and in healthy neuronal synapses.

Data for Alternative Splicing of Adhesion-GPCR Latrophilin-3 Controls Synapse Formation

Project description:How synapses are assembled and specified in brain is incompletely understood. Latrophilin-3, a postsynaptic adhesion-GPCR, mediates Schaffer-collateral synapse formation in the hippocampus but the mechanisms involved remained unclear. Here we show that Latrophilin-3 organizes synapses by a convergent dual-pathway mechanism by which Latrophilin-3 simultaneously activates GaS/cAMP-signaling and recruits phase-separated postsynaptic protein scaffolds. We found that cell type-specific alternative splicing of Latrophilin-3 controls its G protein coupling mode, resulting in Latrophilin-3 variants that predominantly signal via Gas and cAMP or via Gα12/13. A CRISPR-mediated genetic switch of Latrophilin-3 alternative splicing from a GaS- to a Gα12/13-coupled mode impaired synaptic connectivity similar to the overall deletion of Latrophilin-3, suggesting that GaS/cAMP-signaling by Latrophilin-3 splice variants mediates synapse formation. Moreover, GaS- but not Gα12/13-coupled splice variants of Latrophilin-3 recruit phase-transitioned postsynaptic protein scaffolds that are clustered by binding of presynaptic Latrophilin-3 ligands. Strikingly, neuronal activity promotes alternative splicing of the synaptogenic variant of Latrophilin-3, thereby enhancing synaptic connectivity. Together, these data suggest that activity-dependent alternative splicing of a key synaptic adhesion molecule controls synapse formation by parallel activation of two convergent pathways, GaS/cAMP signaling and the phase separation of postsynaptic protein scaffolds.

Learned Helplessness Regulates Synapse Related LncRNAs in Mouse Hippocampus

Project description:Purpose: RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular pathways. The goal of this study is to find learned helplessness/depression regulates synapse related long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in mouse hippocampus Methods: compared the differential expression of mRNA and lncRNAs in learned helplessness (LH) group, nonlearned helplessness (NLH) group and Ctrl group, using GO analysis, pathway enrichment and co-expression Results: We found that 2163 or 1396 mRNA are different expressed in LH compared with Control or NLH group, 199 or 142 lncRNAs are different expressed in LH compared with Control or NLH group, respectivly. Then we applied complex bioinfomatics analysis to do lncRNAs functional analysis, finding dendritic spine morphogenesis, chemical synaptic transmission and synaptic potential signaling pathway are common between LH group compared with Ctrl group and LH group compared with NLH group. Further more we found that the identified lncRNAs are mediating several cellular functions such as: protein transport, ion transport, mRNA processing, regulation of dendritic spine development, regulation of neuron projection development and regulation of GTPase activity. Interestingly, there was strong regulation of lncRNAs related to synapse. Conclusions: Our study is the first attempt to explore the possibility that lncRNAs might be involved in helplessness using RNA sequencing. And we found some lncRNAs have strong functions in synapse regulation.

Activity-induced Nr4a1 regulates spine density and distribution pattern of excitatory synapses in pyramidal neurons

Project description:Excitatory synapses occur mainly on dendritic spines, and spine density is usually correlated with the strength of excitatory synaptic transmission. We report that Nr4a1, an activity-inducible gene encoding a nuclear receptor, regulates the density and distribution of dendritic spines in CA1 pyramidal neurons. Nr4a1 overexpression resulted in elimination of the majority of spines; however, postsynaptic densities were preserved on dendritic shafts, and the strength of excitatory synaptic transmission was unaffected, showing that excitatory synapses can be dissociated from spines. mRNA expression profiling studies suggest that Nr4a1-mediated transcriptional regulation of the actin cytoskeleton contributes to this effect. Under conditions of chronically elevated activity, when Nr4a1 was induced, Nr4a1 knockdown increased the density of spines and PSDs specifically at the distal ends of dendrites. Thus, Nr4a1 is a key component of an activity-induced transcriptional program that regulates the density and distribution of spines and synapses. After 10 days in culture, dissociated mouse hippocampal neurons in 6-well plates were infected with lentivirus expressing either Flag-Nr4a1 or GFP and incubated for 6 days to allow for transgene expression. Total RNA was then isolated using RNeasy Plus kit (QIAGEN). Samples passing an mRNA quality check proceeded to quantitative analysis on Agilent-026655 4x44 Mouse Microarrays.

Pumilio2 and Staufen2 selectively balance the synaptic proteome

Project description:Cells, in particular neurons, have the capacity to adapt to environmental stimuli, a phenomenon termed cellular plasticity. The underlying processes are controlled by a network of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). Their impact on cellular plasticity, however, is largely unknown. To address this important question, we chose Pumilio2 (Pum2) and Staufen2 (Stau2) that both regulate synaptic transmission. Surprisingly, even though both RBPs dynamically interact with each other in neurons, their respective impact on the transcriptome and proteome is highly selective. While Pum2 deficiency leads to reduced translation and protein expression, Stau2 depletion preferentially impacts RNA levels and increases protein abundance. Furthermore, we show that Pum2 activates expression of key GABAergic synaptic components, e.g. the GABAA receptor scaffold protein Gephyrin. Consequently, Pum2 depletion selectively reduced the amplitude of miniature inhibitory postsynaptic currents. Together, our data clearly demonstrate that RBPs are needed to maintain proteostasis in order to control distinct signaling pathways which critically balance synaptic transmission.

Neuronal γ-secretase regulates lipid metabolism, linking cholesterol to synaptic dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease

Project description:Presenilin mutations that alter γ-secretase activity cause familial Alzheimer's disease (AD), whereas ApoE4, an apolipoprotein for cholesterol transport, predisposes to sporadic AD. Both sporadic and familial AD feature synaptic dysfunction. Whether γ-secretase is involved in cholesterol metabolism and whether such involvement impacts synaptic function remains unknown. Here, we show that in human neurons, chronic pharmacological or genetic suppression of γ-secretase increases synapse numbers but decreases synaptic transmission by lowering the presynaptic release probability without altering dendritic or axonal arborizations. In search of a mechanism underlying these synaptic impairments, we discovered that chronic γ-secretase suppression robustly decreases cholesterol levels in neurons but not in glia, which in turn stimulates neuron-specific cholesterol-synthesis gene expression. Suppression of cholesterol levels by HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) impaired synaptic function similar to γ-secretase inhibition. Thus, γ-secretase enables synaptic function by maintaining cholesterol levels, whereas the chronic suppression of γ-secretase impairs synapses by lowering cholesterol levels.
