Project description:Clinical evidence suggests that rapid and sustained antidepressant action can be attained with a single exposure to psychedelics. However, the biological substrates and key mediators of psychedelics' enduring action remain unknown. Here, we show that a single administration of the psychedelic DOI produces fast-acting effects on frontal cortex dendritic spine structure and acceleration of fear extinction via the 5-HT2A receptor. Additionally, a single dose of DOI leads to changes in chromatin organization, particularly at enhancer regions of genes involved in synaptic assembly that stretch for days after the psychedelic exposure. These DOI-induced alterations in the neuronal epigenome overlap with genetic loci associated with schizophrenia, depression, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Together, these data support that epigenomic-driven changes in synaptic plasticity sustain psychedelics' long-lasting antidepressant action but also warn about potential substrate overlap with genetic risks for certain psychiatric conditions.

Project description:Hippocampal synaptic plasticity is important for learning and memory formation. Homeostatic synaptic plasticity is a specific form of synaptic plasticity that is induced upon prolonged changes in neuronal activity to maintain network homeostasis. While astrocytes are important regulators of synaptic transmission and plasticity, it is largely unclear how they interact with neurons to regulate synaptic plasticity at the circuit level. Here, we show that neuronal activity blockade selectively increases the expression and secretion of IL-33 (interleukin-33) by astrocytes in the hippocampal cornu ammonis 1 (CA1) subregion. This IL-33 stimulates an increase in excitatory synapses and neurotransmission through the activation of neuronal IL-33 receptor complex and synaptic recruitment of the scaffold protein PSD-95. We found that acute administration of tetrodotoxin in hippocampal slices or inhibition of hippocampal CA1 excitatory neurons by optogenetic manipulation increases IL-33 expression in CA1 astrocytes. Furthermore, IL-33 administration in vivo promotes the formation of functional excitatory synapses in hippocampal CA1 neurons, whereas conditional knockout of IL-33 in CA1 astrocytes decreases the number of excitatory synapses therein. Importantly, blockade of IL-33 and its receptor signaling in vivo by intracerebroventricular administration of its decoy receptor inhibits homeostatic synaptic plasticity in CA1 pyramidal neurons and impairs spatial memory formation in mice. These results collectively reveal an important role of astrocytic IL-33 in mediating the negative-feedback signaling mechanism in homeostatic synaptic plasticity, providing insights into how astrocytes maintain hippocampal network homeostasis.

Project description:Structural, functional, and molecular reorganization of denervated neural networks is often observed in neurological conditions. The loss of input is accompanied by homeostatic synaptic adaptations, which can affect the reorganization of denervated networks. However, a major challenge of denervation-induced homeostatic plasticity operating in complex neural networks is the specialization of neuronal inputs. Therefore, it remains unclear whether neurons respond similarly to the loss of distinct inputs. Here, we used in vitro entorhinal cortex lesion (ECL) and Schaffer collateral lesion (SCL) in mouse organotypic entorhino-hippocampal tissue cultures of either sex, and studied denervation-induced plasticity of CA1 pyramidal neurons. We observed accumulation of microglia, degeneration of presynaptic buttons and a reduction in dendritic spine numbers in the denervated layers three days after SCL and ECL, respectively. Transcriptome analysis of the CA1 region showed complex changes in differential gene expression following SCL and ECL compared to non-lesioned controls. An enrichment of differentially expressed synapse-related genes was observed specifically after ECL. Consistent with this finding, denervation-induced homeostatic plasticity of excitatory synapses was observed three days after ECL but not after SCL. Chemogenetic silencing of the EC but not CA3 confirmed the pathway-specific induction of homeostatic synaptic plasticity in CA1. Moreover, increased RNA oxidation was observed after SCL and ECL. These results reveal important commonalities and differences of distinct pathway lesions, and demonstrate a pathway-specific induction of denervation-induced homeostatic synaptic plasticity.

Project description:Alcoholism is a complex neurological disorder characterized by loss of control in limiting intake, and progressive compulsion to seek and consume ethanol. Prior studies have suggested that the characteristic behaviors associated with escalation of drug use are caused, at least in part, by ethanol-evoked changes in gene expression affecting synaptic plasticity. Implicit in this hypothesis is a dependence on new protein synthesis and remodeling at the synapse. It is well established that mRNA can be transported to neuronal distal processes, where it can undergo localized translation that is regulated in a spatially restricted manner in response to stimulation. It is unknown whether such modulation of the synaptic transcriptome might contribute to ethanol-induced synaptic plasticity. Using ethanol-induced behavioral sensitization as a model of neuroplasticity, here we investigated whether repeated exposure to ethanol altered the synaptic transcriptome, contributing to synaptic plasticity underlying a subsequent increase in the ethanol-evoked locomotor response. A synaptoneurosome preparation was utilized to enrich for RNAs trafficked to the synapse versus the proximal cellular fraction. Two complementary methods of genomic profiling, RNA-Seq and microarrays, were used to survey the synaptic transcriptome of DBA/2J mice subjected to ethanol-induced behavioral sensitization. Strikingly, a large number of genes regulated by acute ethanol showed adaptation to repeated ethanol exposure with sensitization. Genomic profiling showed distinct functional classes in RNA found to be enriched in the synaptoneurosome faction, consistent with their role in synaptic function. A subset of ethanol-responsive genes significantly enriched at the synapse were related to biological functions such as protein folding and extra-cellular matrix components, suggesting a role for local regulation of synaptic protein function by ethanol. In contrast, RNA classes regulated by ethanol in the cell soma included an over-abundance of RNA-binding and trafficking proteins, perhaps reflecting increased demand for dendritic RNA localization. These experiments document that both acute and repeated ethanol produce specific alterations in the complement of RNA at the synapse and lay the foundation for further investigations into the role of the synaptic transcriptome in behavioral adaptations to ethanol. 24 samples were analyzed from 3 treatment groups and 2 cell fractions with 4 biological replicates for each treatment/cell fraction.Cell fractionation was carried out on tissue from a frontal pole dissection of DBA2/J mice, isolating a cytosolic (S2) and synaptoneurosomal (P2) fraction. Treatment groups describe chronic treatment (10 daily injections) and treatment used on test day (single injeciion), producing saline-saline (SS), saline-ethanol (SE) and ethanol-ethanol (EE) groups. Analysis of RNA-seq compared similar treatments across cell fractions or different treatments within a cell fraction.

Project description:Synapses are pivotal sites of plasticity and memory formation. Consequently, synapses are energy consumption hotspots susceptible to dysfunction when their energy supplies are perturbed. Mitochondria are stabilized near synapses via the cytoskeleton and provide the local energy required for synaptic plasticity. However, the mechanisms that tether and stabilize mitochondria to support synaptic plasticity are unknown. We identified proteins exclusively tethering mitochondria to actin near postsynaptic spines. We find that VAP, the vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, stabilizes mitochondria via actin near the spines. To test if the VAP-dependent stable mitochondrial compartments can locally support synaptic plasticity, we used two-photon glutamate uncaging for spine plasticity induction and investigated the induced and adjacent uninduced spines. We find VAP functions as a spatial stabilizer of mitochondrial compartments for up to ~60 min and as a spatial ruler determining the ~30 m dendritic segment supported during synaptic plasticity.

Abstract:
NMDA receptor dependent long-term potentiation (LTP) and
long-term depression (LTD) are two prominent forms of synaptic
plasticity, both of which are triggered by post-synaptic
calcium elevation. To understand how calcium selectively
stimulates two opposing processes, we developed a detailed
computational model and performed simulations with different
calcium input frequencies, amplitudes, and durations. We show
that with a total amount of calcium ions kept constant, high
frequencies of calcium pulses stimulate calmodulin more
efficiently. Calcium input activates both calcineurin and
Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) at all
frequencies, but increased frequencies shift the relative
activation from calcineurin to CaMKII. Irrespective of
amplitude and duration of the inputs, the total amount of
calcium ions injected adjusts the sensitivity of the system to
calcium input frequencies. At a given frequency, the quantity
of CaMKII activated is proportional to the total amount of
calcium. Thus, an input of a small amount of calcium at high
frequencies can induce the same activation of CaMKII as a
larger amount, at lower frequencies. Finally, the extent of
activation of CaMKII signals with high calcium frequency is
further controlled by other factors, including the availability
of calmodulin, and by the potency of phosphatase
inhibitors.

Project description:Synaptic plasticity impairment plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and emerging evidence has shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) are alternative biomarkers and therapeutic targets for synaptic dysfunctions in AD. In this study, we found that the level of miR-431 was downregulated in the plasma of amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and AD patients. In addition, it was decreased in the hippocampus and plasma of APPswe/PS1dE9 (APP/PS1) mice. Lentivirus mediated miR-431 overexpression in the hippocampus CA1 ameliorated synaptic plasticity and memory deficits of APP/PS1 mice, while it didn't affect the Aβ levels. Smad4 was identified as a target of miR-431, and Smad4 knockdown modulated the expression of synaptic proteins including SAP102, and protected against synaptic plasticity and memory dysfunctions in APP/PS1 mice. Furthermore, Smad4 overexpression reversed the protective effects of miR-431, indicating that miR-431 attenuated synaptic impairment at least partially by Smad4 inhibition. Thus, these results indicated that miR-431/Smad4 might be a potential therapeutic target for AD treatment.

Project description:Progressive myoclonus epilepsy of Unverricht-Lundborg type (EPM1) is an inherited neurodegenerative disease with myoclonus, seizures and ataxia, caused by the mutations in cystatin B (CSTB) gene. In an approach towards understanding the molecular basis of pathogenic events in EPM1 we have utilized the cystatin B deficient mice (Cstb-/-), a model for the disease. We have characterized the gene expression changes from the cerebellum of Cstb-/- mouse at postnatal day 7 (P7) and P30 as well as in cultured cerebellar granule cells using a pathway-based approach. A marked upregulation of immune response genes was seen at P30, reflecting the ongoing neuropathology, however, the observed alterations in complement cascade genes could also imply defects in synaptic plasticity. Differentially expressed genes in pre-symptomatic Cstb-/- animals at P7 were connected to synaptic function and plasticity and in cultured cerebellar granule cells to cellular biogenesis, cytoskeleton and intracellular transport. Especially GABAergic pathways were affected. The sample preparation and hybridzation of each cRNAs on GeneChipM-BM-. Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA) were performed in Helsinki Biomedicum Biochip Center (Finland).

Project description:Homeostatic synaptic plasticity serves to maintain neuronal function within a dynamic range, compensating for perturbations in network activity. While coordinated structural and functional changes at synaptic sites play a crucial role in adaptive processes, the specific regulatory mechanisms and biological relevance of homeostatic plasticity in the human brain warrant further investigation. In this study, we investigated the effects of neural network silencing, achieved through pharmacological inhibition of voltage-gated sodium channels or glutamatergic neurotransmission – common targets of antiepileptic medication – on functional and structural properties of murine and human cortical tissue. Using mouse entorhino-hippocampal tissue cultures, acute slices of adult mice, and human brain tissue, we characterize homeostatic synaptic plasticity across models, brain regions, and species. Our findings demonstrate local homeostatic synaptic plasticity in the adult human neocortex, highlighting the potential effects of antiepileptic medication in brain regions unaffected by the primary diseases, which might represent a mechanism for neuropsychiatric effects linked to these medications and increased seizure susceptibility upon discontinuation of antiepileptic medication.
