Project description:This study has successfully established a human FEV reporter system using CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology. We have investigated the precise timing of FEV expression in human SNs. When compared to the previously established TPH2-reporter system, the FEV-reporter system has demonstrated the capacity to yield a greater number of highly-purified SNs, which can be utilized for in-depth exploration of the transcriptomic profiles of SNs during the differentiation process. Moreover, this expanded yield of purified SNs holds promise for facilitating high-throughput drug screening.

Project description:Generation of serotonin neurons (SNs) from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) provides a promising platform to explore the mechanisms of serotonin-associated neuropsychiatric disorders. However, neural differentiation always yields heterogeneous cell populations, making it difficult to identify and purify SNs in vitro or track them in vivo following transplantation. Herein, we generated a TPH2-EGFP reporter hPSC line with insertion of EGFP into the endogenous tryptophan hydroxylase 2 (TPH2) locus using CRISPR-Cas9-mediated gene editing technology. This TPH2-reporter, which faithfully indicated TPH2 expression during differentiation, enabled us to obtain purified SNs for subsequent transcriptional analysis and study of pharmacological responses to antidepressants. In addition, the reporter system showed strong EGFP expression to indicate SNs, which enabled us to explore in vitro and ex vivo electrophysiological properties of SNs. In conclusion, this TPH2-EGFP reporter cell line might be of great significance for studies on human SN-related development and differentiation, drug screening, disease modeling, and cell replacement therapies.

Project description:Anorexia is a common symptom among cancer patients and contributes to malnutrition and insufficient food intake. In cancer-induced anorexia, food intake regulation in the hypothalamus appears to be impaired. A negative energy balance persists and accelerates muscle wasting and malnutrition. Moreover, it strongly affects mortality and survival in these patients. Here, we show that the neuropeptide Y system (NPY) appears to fail to respond adequately to changes in energy balance during cancer cachexia. In addition, we investigate the connection between serotonin and NPY release in hypothalamic cell lines. Hypothalamic neuronal cells mHypoE-46 (serotonin sensitive cells) and mHypoA-2/12 (serotonin unresponsive cells) were used to study the effect of serotonin on messenger NPY expression and NPY excretion.

Project description:Newborn neurons enter an extended maturation stage, during which they acquire excitability characteristics crucial for development of presynaptic and postsynaptic connectivity. In contrast to earlier specification programs, little is known aboutthe regulatory mechanisms that control neuronal maturation. The Pet-1 ETS (E26 transformation-specific) factor is continuously expressed in serotonin (5-HT) neurons and initially acts in postmitotic precursors to control acquisition of 5-HT transmitter identity. Using a combination of RNA sequencing, electrophysiology, and conditional targeting approaches, we determined gene expression patterns in maturing flow-sorted 5-HT neurons and the temporal requirements for Pet-1 in shaping these patterns for functional maturation of mouse 5-HT neurons. We report a profound disruption of postmitotic expression trajectories in Pet-1 / neurons, which prevented postnatal maturation of 5-HT neuron passive and active intrinsic membrane properties, G-protein signaling, and synaptic responses to glutamatergic, lysophosphatidic, and adrenergic agonists. Unexpectedly, conditional targeting revealed a postnatal stage-specific switch in Pet-1 targets from 5-HT synthesis genes to transmitter receptor genes required for afferent modulation of 5-HT neuron excitability. 5-HT1a autoreceptor expression depended transiently on Pet-1, thus revealing an early postnatal sensitive period for control of 5-HT excitability genes. Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing revealed that Pet-1 regulates 5-HT neuron maturation through direct gene activation and repression. Moreover, Pet-1 directly regulates the 5-HT neuron maturation factor Engrailed 1, which suggests Pet-1 orchestrates maturationthrough secondary postmitotic regulatoryfactors. The early postnatal switch in Pet-1targets uncovers a distinct neonatal stage-specific function for Pet-1, during which it promotes maturation of 5-HT neuron excitability. 5-HT neuron mRNA profiles of E11.5, E15.5, and postnatal (P1-P3) wild type (WT) and Pet-1-/- mice were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq 2500. Myc-tagged Pet-1 ChIP-seq was performed on E12.5 to E14.5 hindbrains and sequencing using NextSeq 500.

Project description:Human pluripotent stem cells provide a powerful human-genome based system for modeling human diseases in vitro and for potentially identifying novel treatments. Directed differentiation of pluripotent stem cells produces many specific cell types including dopaminergic neurons. Here, we generated a genetic reporter assay in pluripotent stem cells using newly-developed genome editing technologies in order to monitor differentiation efficiency and compare dopaminergic neuron survival under different conditions. We show that insertion of a luciferase reporter gene into the endogenous tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) locus enables rapid and easy quantification of dopaminergic neurons in cell culture throughout the entire differentiation process. Moreover, we demonstrate that the cellular assay is effective in assessing neuron response to different cytotoxic chemicals and is able to be scaled for high throughput applications. These results suggest that stem cell-derived terminal cell types can provide an alternative to traditional immortal cell lines or primary cells as a quantitative cellular model for toxin evaluation and drug discovery.

Project description:We performed a comprehensive survey of DR and MR serotonin neurons in the adult mouse brain by scRNA-seq. To specifically label serotonin neurons, we crossed Sert-Cre mice (Gong et al., 2007) with the tdTomato Cre reporter mouse, Ai14 (Madisen et al., 2010). (Serotonin transporter, or Sert, is a marker for serotonin neurons; see more details below.) We collected serotonin neurons acutely dissociated from brain slices by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and used Smart-seq2 (Picelli et al., 2013) to generate scRNA-seq libraries.

Project description:The serotonin transporter (SERT), a member of the neurotransmitter:sodium symporter family, is responsible for termination of serotonergic signaling by re-uptake of serotonin (5-HT) into the presynaptic neuron. Its key role in synaptic transmission makes it a major drug target, e.g. for the treatment of depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress. Here, we apply hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry to probe the conformational dynamics of human SERT in the absence and presence of known substrates and targeted drugs. Our results reveal significant changes in dynamics in regions TM1, EL3, EL4, and TM12 upon binding co-transported ions (Na+/K+) and ligand-mediated changes in TM1, EL3 and EL4 upon binding 5-HT, the drugs S-citalopram, cocaine and ibogaine. Our results provide a comprehensive direct view of the conformational response of SERT upon binding both biologically relevant substrate/ions and ligands of pharmaceutical interest, thus advancing our understanding of the structure-function relationship in SERT.

Project description:Serotonergic neurons have multiple roles, including regulating mood and behavior1,2, yet it remains unclear which of these phenotypes are caused by serotonin produced by the central versus the peripheral nervous system. Neuronal serotonin is produced by the enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase 2 (Tph2). Mice that lack Tph2 exhibit decreased gut motility4 and several behavioral disorders, including decreased anxiety-like behavior and increased aggression5. To clarify the specific role of peripheral serotonergic circuits, here we engineered mice with intact Tph2 in central neurons but lacking Tph2 in peripheral neurons (Tph2fl/fl; Hand2-Cre). We discovered that PSN contribute to gut motility and are important in the control of anxiety-like behavior but do not contribute to impulsive aggression. Thus, central and peripheral serotonergic neurons have different roles in behavioral regulation. Intriguingly, animals lacking peripheral neuronal Tph2 had deficiencies in enteric immune cells, including reduced abundance of dendritic cells (DC) and IgA+ B cells in the small intestine and elevated susceptibility to oral Salmonella infection. Mechanistic studies suggest that serotonin produced by PSN promotes activation of DC through the 5-HT7 receptor, thereby facilitating DC-mediated differentiation of IgA+ B cells. Our findings highlight the importance of serotonin produced by peripheral neurons for control of behavior and gut defense and suggest that these circuits could be valuable targets for therapeutics.
