MDGA2 constrains the BDNF/TrkB signaling

ABSTRACT: MDGA2 is an excitatory synaptic suppressor and its mutations have been associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, the detailed physiological function of MDGA2 and the mechanism underlying MDGA2 deficiency-caused ASD has yet to be elucidated. Herein, we not only confirm that Mdga2+/- mice exhibit increased excitatory synapse transmission and ASD-like behaviors, but also identify aberrant BDNF/TrkB signaling activation in these mice. We demonstrate that MDGA2 interacts with TrkB through its MAM domain, thereby competing the binding of BDNF to TrkB. Both loss of MDGA2 and the ASD-associated MDGA2 V930I mutation promote the BDNF/TrkB signaling activity. Importantly, we demonstrate that inhibiting the BDNF/TrkB signaling by both small molecular compound and MDGA2-derived peptide can attenuate the increase of AMPA receptor-mediated excitatory synaptic activity and social deficits in MDGA2 deficient mice. These results highlight a novel MDGA2-BDNF/TrkB-dependent mechanism underlying the synaptic function regulation, which may become a therapeutic target for ASD.

Effects of TrkB-ICD overexpression on the morphology, activity and transcriptome of cultured primary cortical neurons

Project description:In Alzheimer’s disease (AD), amyloid β (Aβ)-triggered cleavage of TrkB-FL impairs brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling, thereby compromising neuronal survival, differentiation, as well as synaptic transmission and plasticity. In addition to compromising canonical BDNF signalling pathways, TrkB-FL cleavage produces an intracellular fragment (TrkB-ICD), which was shown to accumulate in the nucleus and to display tyrosine kinase activity. To dissect the role of TrkB-ICD overexpression from the loss of endogenous signaling throught TrkB-FL, we used lentiviruses to overexpress the TrkB-ICD sequence in cultured primary cortical neurons and performed morphological, electrophysiological and transcriptomics studies. While TrkB-ICD overexpression did not affect cell survival, it caused a significant decrease in the number of dendritic spines, both compared to untransduced and GFP-transduced neurons. Furthermore, TrkB-ICD overexpressing neurons presented a hyperpolarized resting membrane potential and increased frequency of miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (mEPSCs). Finally, TrkB-ICD overexpression was associated with the upregulation of genes involved in (i) neuronal survival, growth and differentiation; (ii) neuronal cytoarchitecture and spine morphology; (iii) neurodegenerative processes, including AD; and (iv) synaptic transmission and plasticity. Overall, these results show that TrkB-ICD overexpression causes dendritic spine loss, alters excitatory synaptic transmission and causes transcriptome-wide changes, namely in genes coding for proteins involved in synaptic processes.

BDNF-TrkB signaling orchestrates the buildup process for local sleep

Project description:Using pharmacology and optogenetics perturbations, we showed that cortical brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) regulates the intensity of SWA via the activation of Tyrosine kinase B (TrkB) receptor and cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB). We identified that the circuitry mediating TrkB-induced sleep SWA involves excitatory pyramidal cells of the cortex's layer 5. We found that increased neuronal firing alone in the somatosensory cortex was not sufficient to increase SWA. Using mathematical modeling of a local network in the brain, we model how BDNF’s effects on synaptic strength can increase SWA in ways not achieved through increased firing alone. Together, our findings implicate BDNF-TrkB-CREB signaling pathway in local SWA control during sleep.

Glioma synapses recruit mechanisms of adaptive plasticity: Gene expression changes induced by BDNF treatment in SU-DIPGVI in vitro

Project description:The nervous system plays an increasingly appreciated role in the regulation of cancer. In gliomas, neuronal activity drives tumor progression through paracrine signaling factors such as neuroligin-3 and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and also through electrophysiologically functional neuron-to-glioma synapses mediated by AMPA (α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid) receptors. The consequent glioma cell membrane depolarization drives tumor proliferation. In the healthy brain, activity-regulated secretion of BDNF promotes adaptive plasticity of synaptic connectivity and strength. Here, we show that malignant synapses exhibit similar plasticity regulated by BDNF. Signaling through the receptor TrkB (tropomyosin receptor kinase B), BDNF promotes AMPA receptor trafficking to the glioma cell membrane, resulting in increased amplitude of glutamate-evoked currents in the malignant cells. This potentiation of malignant synaptic strength shares mechanistic features with synaptic plasticity that contributes to memory and learning in the healthy brain. BDNF-TrkB signaling also regulates the number of neuron-to-glioma synapses. Abrogation of activity-regulated BDNF secretion from the brain microenvironment or loss of TrkB in human glioma cells robustly inhibits tumor progression. Blocking TrkB genetically or pharmacologically abrogates these effects of BDNF on glioma synapses and substantially prolongs survival in xenograft models of pediatric glioblastoma and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). Taken together, these findings indicate that BDNF-TrkB signaling promotes malignant synaptic plasticity and augments tumor progression.

SHANK2 mutations associated with autism spectrum disorder cause hyperconnectivity of human neurons

Project description:Heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in the synaptic scaffolding gene SHANK2 are strongly associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). To investigate their effect on synaptic connectivity, we generated cortical neurons from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) derived from neurotypic and ASD-affected donors. We developed Sparse coculture for Connectivity (SparCon) assays where SHANK2 and control neurons were differentially labeled and sparsely seeded together on a lawn of unlabeled control neurons. We observed striking increases in total synapse number and dendrite complexity. Dendrite length increases were exacerbated by IGF1 or BDNF treatment. Increased excitatory synapse function in haploinsufficient SHANK2 neurons was phenocopied in gene-edited knockout SHANK2 neurons. Gene correction of an ASD SHANK2 mutation rescued excitatory synapse function supporting a role for SHANK2 as a negative regulator of connectivity in developing human neurons. The transcriptome in these isogenic SHANK2 neurons was deeply perturbed in synaptic and plasticity gene sets and ASD gene modules, and activity dependent dendrite extension was defective. Our unexpected findings provide evidence for hyperconnectivity and profoundly altered transcriptome in SHANK2 neurons derived from ASD subjects.

Transcriptome analysis of Dyrk1a-knockin (Ile48LysfsX2) and wild-type mice age of P21 and P60

Project description:Dyrk1A deficiency is linked to various neurodevelopmental disorders, including developmental delays, intellectual disability (ID) and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Haploinsufficiency of Dyrk1a in mice reportedly leads to ASD-related phenotypes. However, the key pathological mechanisms remain unclear and human DYRK1A mutations remain uncharacterized in mice. Here, we generated and studied Dyrk1a-knockin mice carrying a human ASD patient mutation (Ile48LysfsX2; Dyrk1a-I48K mice). These mice display severe microcephaly, social and cognitive deficits, dendritic shrinkage, excitatory synaptic deficits, and altered phospho-proteomic patterns enriched for multiple signaling pathways and synaptic proteins.

Dyrk1a P60 phosphoproteomic data

Project description:Dyrk1A deficiency is linked to various neurodevelopmental disorders, including developmental delays and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Haploinsufficiency of Dyrk1a in mice leads to ASD-related phenotypes, although key pathological mechanisms remain unclear. In addition, human DYRK1A mutations have not been characterized in mice. Here we report Dyrk1a-knockin mice carrying a human mutation (Ile48LysfsX2; Dyrk1a-I48K mice). These mice display severe microcephaly, social and cognitive deficits, dendritic shrinkage, excitatory synaptic deficits, and altered phospho-proteome patterns enriched for multiple signaling pathways and synaptic proteins. Early chronic lithium treatment of newborn mutant mice rescues brain volume, behavior, dendrite, synapse, and signaling/synapse phospho-proteome phenotypes at juvenile and adult stages. These results suggest that signaling/synaptic alterations contribute to phenotypic alterations in Dyrk1a-I48K mice, and that early correction of these alterations by lithium treatment has long-lasting effects of preventing juvenile and adult-stage phenotypes.

RNA-seq of human neurons derived from mutant embryonic stem cell line lacking the BDNF receptor TrkB treated with the natural TrkC receptor agonist Neurotrophin-3

Project description:RNAseq data indicate that in the human brain, most neurons co-express the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) receptor TrkB and the Neurotrophin-3 (NT3) receptor TrkC. Because NT3 can also activate TrkB and TrkB is expressed at higher levels compared with TrkC, it has been difficult thus far to explore TrkC-mediated signaling. To this end, neurons were generated from human embryonic stem cells lacking the BDNF receptor TrkB using CRISPR/Cas9. These neurons were found to respond to very low concentrations of NT3, lower than the concentrations of BDNF needed to activate TrkB. In order to compare the transcriptional changes following treatment with NT3 RNA-seq analysis was performed and the results compared with those previously obtained following treatment of wild-type neurons with BDNF Merkouris et al. PMID: 29987039. The results indicate that downstream of TrkC activation, most of the changes in gene expression are similar to those seen after TrkB activation. The results also show that exposure to sub-saturating concentrations of either BDNF or NT3 does not cause receptor downregulation as seen with saturating ligand concentrations and that the receptors can be re-activated.
