Project description:Inhibitory GABAergic interneurons create different brain activity patterns that correlate with behavioral states. In this characterizing study, we used single-cell RNAseq to analyze anatomically- and electrophysiologically-identified hippocampal oriens-lacunosum moleculare (OLM) interneurons. OLMs express somatostatin (Sst), generate feedback inhibition, and play important roles in theta oscillations and fear encoding. Although an anatomically- and biophysically-homogenous population, OLMs comprise two functionally distinct types with presumed different developmental origins, inferred from the expression pattern of serotonin type-3a (5-HT3a, or Htr3a) receptor subunit and 5-HT-excitability in a set of OLMs. To broadly characterize OLM cells, we used the Sst-Cre and the BAC-transgenic Htr3a-Cre mouse lines and separately analyzed SstCre-OLM and Htr3aCre-OLM types. We found a surprisingly consistent expression of Npy in OLMs, which was previously not associated with the identity of this type. Our analyses furthermore revealed uniform expression of developmental origin-related genes, including transcription factors and neurexin isoforms, without providing support for the current view that OLMs may originate from multiple neurogenic zones. Together, we found that OLMs constitute a highly homogenous transcriptomic population. Finally, our results revealed surprisingly infrequent expression of Htr3a in only ~10% of OLMs, and an apparently specific expression of the 5-HT3b subunit-coding gene Htr3b in Htr3aCre-OLMs, but not in SstCre-OLMs. However, additional in situ hybridization experiments suggested that the differential expression of Htr3b may represent an unexpected consequence arising from the design of the Htr3a-Cre BAC transgenic line.

Project description:In the cerebral cortex, projection neurons and interneurons work coordinately to establish functional neural networks and to control the balance between excitatory versus inhibitory synaptic activities for normal cortical functions. While the specific mechanisms that control productions of projection neurons and interneurons are beginning to be revealed, a global characterization of the molecular differences between these two groups of neurons is in need for a more comprehensive understanding of their developmental specifications as well as their cortical functions. Previous studies have shown that the majority of cortical projection neurons are produced by radial glial cells (RGCs) through intermediate progenitor cells (IPCs) which can be marked by the expression of transcription factor Tbr2(Eomes). In this study, taking advantage of lineage tracing power of combining Tbr2(Eomes)-GFP and DCX-mRFP transgenic reporter mice, we prospectively separated IPC-derived neurons (IPNs) from non-IPC-derived neurons (non-IPNs) of the embryonic cortex. Molecular characterizations revealed that IPNs and non-IPNs were enriched with projection neurons and interneurons, respectively. Transcriptome analyses documented distinct groups of genes differentially expressed between these two groups of neurons. These data present a useful resource for further investigation of the molecular regulations and functions of projection neurons and interneurons.

Project description:Fast-spiking (FS) interneurons are important elements of neocortical circuitry that constitute the primary source of synaptic inhibition in adult cortex and impart temporal organization on ongoing cortical activity. The highly specialized intrinsic membrane and firing properties that allow cortical FS interneurons to perform these functions are attributable to equally specialized gene expression, which is ultimately coordinated by cell-type-specific transcriptional regulation. Although embryonic transcriptional events govern the initial steps of cell-type specification in most cortical interneurons, including FS cells, the electrophysiological properties that distinguish adult cortical cell types emerge relatively late in postnatal development, and the transcriptional events that drive this maturational process are not known. To address this, we used mouse whole-genome microarrays and whole-cell patch clamp to characterize the transcriptional and electrophysiological maturation of cortical FS interneurons between postnatal day 7 (P7) and P40. We found that the intrinsic and synaptic physiology of FS cells undergoes profound regulation over the first 4 postnatal weeks and that these changes are correlated with primarily monotonic but bidirectional transcriptional regulation of thousands of genes belonging to multiple functional classes. Using our microarray screen as a guide, we discovered that upregulation of two-pore K leak channels between P10 and P25 contributes to one of the major differences between the intrinsic membrane properties of immature and adult FS cells and found a number of other candidate genes that likely confer cell-type specificity on mature FS cells. Experiment Overall Design: We characterized the transcriptional maturation of genetically labeled FS interneurons in mouse S1 cortex using whole-genome microarrays.mRNA was harvested from manually sorted GFPexpressing neurons dissociated from acutely prepared brain slices at a range of developmental time points (P7, P10, P15, P25, and P40) and subsequently reverse transcribed, amplified, labeled, and hybridized to Affymetrix 430 2.0 whole-genome microarrays (three microarrays from three different animals per condition). We used the G42 transgenic mice described by Chattopadhyaya et al. (2004) for all experiments.

Project description:Malformations of cortical development are the underlying eitiology of many cases of Mental Retardation and Epilepsy. Subtle, below the resolution of current MRI, cortical dysplasias are probably involved in many cases of MR, Epilepsy and Autism for which no diagnosis can currently be made. Therefore, understanding the process of cortical development will be vital in diagnosing and eventual treatment of many patients with these conditions. More specifically, the cortex forms from two major populations of neuroblasts which reach their final destination in the cortex by differerent mechanisms. One is radial migration from ventricular neuroblasts to the cortical plate. These cells are excititory projection neurons and glia. The second pathway is from the ventral ganglionic eminences and tangential migration of the interneuronal population of primarily inhibitory neurons. Much less is known about the control of the latter process, and many of these currently undiagnosed subtle malformations may stem from abnormalities of this tangential migration. This project focuses on the understanding the control of the tangentially migrating inhibitory interneurons. We aim to uncover the transcriptional differences between two distinct neuronal populations, GFP positive cells in the ganglionic emience and GFP positive cells within the cortical plate, in order to understand the genetic control of tangential migration. We will acomplish this aim by targeting two different labeled transcripts againts the affymetrix mouse genome arrays. We hypothesis that there will be distinct differences in mRNA transcription profiles between the ganglionic eminence and cortical plate within developing interneurons. The differences in transcript profiles will be genes that regulate the migration and differentiation of these developing neurons. Transgenic mice have been generated which express green flourscent protien (GFP) based on the activity of the Dlx 5-6 promotor. Dlx 5-6 are highly regulated genes, and are expressed only in developing interneurons with in the embryonic brain. The expression of this gene begins at around E8 within the medial and lateral ganglionic eminence (GE) and then remain present as cells born within these regions migrate out into the developing cortex. Therefore, we can take advantage of these mice by harvesting embryos at a midpoint in their development (E13.5-14.5) and dissect out GFP positive cells from the ganglionic eminence and from the cortical plate. In order to obtain enough cells to extract sufficent mRNA, we have choosen to perform microdisction of the entire GE and entire cortical plate then break up the tissue into single cell suspension and Florescent activated cell sort (FACs) the populations of GFP + and GFP - cells. We then will extract the total RNA from the GFP postive cell populations using a Trizol based method and purify the RNA with a Quiagen column purification method. The purified RNA will then be amplified using the Affymetrix 1 or 2 round T7 based amplification procedure in order to generate the microgram quantities of labelled cRNA. The labelled biotin cRNA will be sent to the microarray consortium for hybridization againt the Affy mouse genome chip. Three embryos will be pooled in order to obtain sufficent RNA and 6 GFP positive GE and cortical plate samples will be used. The six replicates will be obtained from at least 3 different pregnant mice.

Project description:Chronic stress is a major triggering factor for neuropsychiatric disorders including obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), a mental health condition characterized by motor stereotypies and striatal overactivation. However, the mechanisms at the cell- and microcircuit-level through which stress triggers motor symptoms is currently unknown. Here, we report that chronic stress (CS) in mice alters dorsomedial striatum (DMS) function, by affecting GABAergic interneuron populations and somatostatin-positive (SOM) interneurons in particular. Specifically, we show that CS impairs communication between SOM interneurons and medium spiny neurons, promoting striatal overactivation / disinhibition and increased motor output. Using probabilistic machine learning for analyzing animal behavior we further demonstrate that in vivo chemogenetic manipulation of SOM interneurons in DMS modulates motor phenotypes in stressed mice. Altogether, we propose a causal link between dysfunction of striatal SOM interneurons and motor symptoms in stress-related neuropsychiatric disorders.

Project description:Unilateral Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) causes functional disturbances of the neuronal networks spreading even to the undamaged cortical hemisphere. The phenomenon, referred to as transhemispheric diaschisis, is suggested to be mediated by an imbalance of the strength of glutamatergic, excitatory vs. GABAergic, inhibitory neurotransmission. Here we present evidence that a switch in expression of α Subunits of pore-forming L-Type voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC), by an expression of CaV1.3 and simultaneous ablation of CaV1.2 in GABAergic interneurons could balance early cortical disturbances manifested as contralateral hyperexcitability in the early phase after TBI. The switch of the VGCC alpha Subunits in GABAergic interneurons was detected using the GAD67-GFP (Glutamate Decarboxylase 67 – Green Fluorescent Protein) Knock-in mouse line. Mice received a TBI with a Controlled Cortical Impact (CCI) to the primary motor and somatosensory cortex at postnatal day 19-21 under anesthesia in vivo. Single GFP+ interneurons located in the undamaged, contralateral cortex were isolated by Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) and further analyzed by Mass Spectrometry (MS). The switch was associated with an increased excitability of Somatostatin (SST) interneurons and extracellular network activity in acute brain slices in Microelectrode Array (MEA) recordings, which could be restored in presence of isradipine (100 nM), which selectively blocks CaV1.3-containing VGCCs. These data suggest that a switch in alpha.subunits of VGCCs expressed on SST-positive interneurons stabilizes early hyperactivity of the contralateral cortical network at 72 h after TBI, thereby promoting an adaptive mechanism to counterbalance post-traumatic hyperexcitabilty that might lead to epileptogenesis.

Project description:Gamma-aminobutyric acid-containing (GABAergic) interneurons are the major source of inhibition in the mammalian brain. They control the output of principal neurons, shaping brain oscillations and maintaining excitation/inhibition balance. PV+ interneurons play a major role in the regulation of the excitatory/inhibitory balance in the cortex. One gene of the oxidative phosphorylation machinery shows particularly specific expression in PV+ interneurons, Cox6a2. The gene codes for the isoform 2 of the subunit Cox6a in cytochrome c oxidase, also known as complex IV (CIV), of oxidative phosphorylation. Cox6a2 had been shown to regulate the generation of energy in the heart and skeletal muscle to meet the high energy demands. To unravel the molecular signaling that contributes to the increase in oxidative stress and metabolic dysregulation following Cox6a2 knockout, we sorted PV+ interneurons from wild-type and Cox6a2-/- mice using the PV-EGFP transgenic mouse line and compared the neuronal transcriptome between the two phenotypes by RNA sequencing. We noted significant transcriptional changes in Cox6a2-/- PV+ interneurons relative to WT. Thus, we found deregulated expression of a number of genes that are involved in synaptic transmission and cellular metabolism.
