Project description:The mature cortex contains hugely diverse populations of pyramidal projection neurons (PNs), critical to normal forebrain circuits. In order to understand the healthy cortex, it is essential to characterize this neuronal complexity. We recently demonstrated different identities for Fezf2-positive (Fezf2+ve) and Fezf2-negative (Fezf2-ve) intratelencephalic-PNs (IT-PNs) from layer 5 of the motor cortex (M1). Comparatively, each IT-PN type has a distinct electrophysiological phenotype and the Fezf2+ve IT-PNs display a unique apical dendritic tuft. Here, we aimed to expand our understanding of the molecular underpinnings defining these unique IT-PN types. Using a validated Fezf2-GFP reporter mouse, retrograde labeling techniques and fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS), combined with a novel approach for low-input RNA-sequencing, we isolated mature Fezf2+ve and Fezf2-ve IT-PNs for transcriptome profiling. Through the comparison of Fezf2+ve and Fezf2-ve IT-PN gene expression profiles, we identified significant enrichment of 81 genes in the Fezf2+ve IT-PNs and 119 genes in the Fezf2-ve IT-PNs. Term enrichment analysis of these enriched genes demonstrated significant overrepresentation of the calcium-binding EF-hand domain in Fezf2+ve IT-PNs, suggesting a greater importance for calcium handling in these neurons. Of the Fezf2-ve IT-PN enriched genes an unexpected and unique enrichment of genes, previously associated with microglia were identified. Our dataset identifies the molecular profiles of two unique IT-PN types in the mature M1, providing important targets to investigate for their maintenance in the healthy mature brain.

Project description:Molecular interactions at the cellular interface mediate organized assembly of single cells into tissues, and thus govern the development and physiology of multicellular organisms. Here, we developed a cell-type-specific, spatiotemporally-resolved approach to profile cell surface proteomes in intact tissues. Quantitative profiling of cell-surface proteomes of Drosophila olfactory projection neurons (PNs) in pupae and adults revealed a global downregulation of wiring molecules and an up-regulation of synaptic molecules in the transition from developing to mature PNs. To compare the RNA and protein dynamics of PN surface molecules in the developing-to-mature transition, we also profiled the PN transcriptomes from 36hAPF pupae and 5d adults. We performed bulk RNA-sequencing of PNs with 3 samples for each stage and 2k cells for each sample.

Project description:We profiled populations of mouse neurons in the Anterior Lateral Motor (ALM) cortex, as defined by retrograde projection labeling. For each sample, we injected one of four regions (thalamus, IRN in medulla, superior colliculus, or pons) using the retrograde virus rAAV2-retro with a fluorescent repoter, and collected cells in the ALM whose projections to the target area were labelled. 50-120 cells were collected from each injection experiment and then profiled using standard bulk RNA-seq protocols

Project description:Gene expression analysis of motor cortex after spinal C3 lesion Dorsal column wire knife lesions: Adult female Fischer 344 rats weighing 150-200 gm were used. Animals underwent a laminectomy at spinal level C3. Dorsal funiculus lesions were made in the middle of C3 using a Kopf microwire device (Kopf Instruments, Tujunga, CA). After fixation in a spinal stereotaxic unit, a small dural incision was made. The wire knife was lowered into the spinal cord to a depth of 1.1 mm ventral to the dorsal cord surface and 1.1 mm to the left of the midline. The tip of the wireknife was extruded, forming a 2.25 mm-wide arc that was raised to the dorsal surface of the cord. To ensure complete axotomy of the dorsal funiculus, spinal tissue was compressed against the microwire knife surface using a microaspiration pipette until all visible white matter was transected. Cortical microdissection: The forelimb and hindlimb motor cortex were microdisected from rat cortices: Rostral to Bregma: an area from 2.0 to 4.5 mm mediolateral and from 0 to 2 mm anterior-posterior Caudal to Bregma: an area from 2.0 to 3.5 mediolateral and from 0 to 3 mm caudal to Bregma. Only the inferior half of the cortex containing layer V corticospinal motor neurons was sampled in each region.

Project description:Neocortical circuits consist of stereotypical motifs that must self-assemble during development. Recent evidence suggests the subtype identity of both excitatory projection neurons (PNs) and inhibitory interneurons (INs) is important for this process. We knocked out the transcription factor Satb2 in PNs to induce those of the intratelencephalic (IT)-type to adopt a pyramidal tract (PT)-type identity. Loss of IT-type PNs selectively disrupted the lamination and circuit integration of INs derived from the caudal ganglionic eminence (CGE). Strikingly, reprogrammed PNs demonstrated reduced synaptic targeting of CGE-derived INs relative to controls. In control mice, IT-type PNs targeted neighboring CGE INs while PT-type PNs did not in deep layers, confirming this lineage-dependent motif. Finally, single cell RNA-sequencing revealed that major CGE IN subtypes were conserved after loss of IT PNs, but with differential transcription of synaptic proteins and signaling molecules. Thus, IT-type PNs influence CGE-derived INs in a non-cell autonomous manner during cortical development.

Project description:The formation of the mammalian neocortex during development requires coordinated establishment of functional regions at proper anterior-posterior and medial-lateral positions – area patterning, as well as neocortical layers. Although key transcription factors (TFs) were known to specify and maintain cell fates, mechanisms underlying how TFs are precise expressed and repressed are largely elusive. Here we showed that NSD1, the methyltransferase for histone H3 lysine 36 dimethylation (H3K36me2), controls both areal and layer identities of the neocortex. Nsd1-ablated neocortex showed prominent areal shift of all four primary functional regions and aberrant wiring of major cortico-thalamic-cortical projections. Nsd1 conditional knockout mice displayed defects in spatial memory, motor learning and coordination, reminiscent of patients with the Sotos syndrome carrying NSD1 mutations. Although projection neurons (PN) of neocortical layers were mostly properly produced and positioned upon Nsd1 deletion, post-mitotic PNs could not establish their layer-specific identities. More strikingly, in adult Nsd1 conditional knockout neocortices, superficial-layer PNs progressively mis-expressed markers for deep-layer PNs. Moreover, neocortical PNs ablated with Nsd1 remained immature morphologically and electrophysiologically. Loss of NSD1 in post-mitotic PNs causes genome-wide loss of H3K36me2 and re-distribution of DNA methylation, which accounts for diminished expression of neocortical layer specifiers but ectopic expression of non-neural genes. Our findings revealed that H3K36me2 mediated by NSD1 is required for establishment and maintenance of region- and layer-specific neocortical identities.
