Project description:We identify a set of common phenotypic modifiers that interact with five independent autism gene orthologs (RIMS1, CHD8, CHD2, WDFY3, ASH1L) causing a common failure of presynaptic homeostatic plasticity (PHP). Heterozygous null mutations in each autism gene are demonstrated to have normal baseline neurotransmission and PHP. However, we find that PHP is sensitized and rendered prone to failure. A subsequent electrophysiology-based genetic screen identifies the first known heterozygous mutations that commonly genetically interact with multiple ASD gene orthologs, causing PHP to fail. Two phenotypic modifiers identified in the screen, PDPK1 and PPP2R5D, are characterized. Finally, transcriptomic, ultrastructural and electrophysiological analyses define one mechanism by which PHP fails; an unexpected, maladaptive up-regulation of CREG, a conserved, neuronally expressed, stress response gene and a novel repressor of PHP. Thus, we define a novel genetic landscape by which diverse, unrelated autism risk genes may converge to commonly affect the robustness of synaptic transmission.

Project description:Using quantitative proteomics we identified group of synaptic genes with decreased protein synthesis during homeostatic plasticity. To obtain further information about their mRNA levels/sequences (3’UTR) we performed polyA RNAseq. Using EISA analysis of Ribominus RNAseq dataset we could further differentiate between transcriptional respective post-transcriptional dependent alterations in mRNA levels. In addition Ribominus RNAseq from cell body and processes (dendrites, axons) RNA samples showed us local changes in mRNA levels during homeostatic plasticity. At the end, small RNAseq helped us to identify miRNAs that are increased during homeostatic plasticity and might regulate downregulated genes.

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:Changes in presynaptic gene expression during homeostatic compensation at a central synapse

Project description:The nervous system has a tremendous capacity for experience-dependent plasticity. In response to changes in activity induced by environmental cues, many types of neurons undergo a process known as homeostatic plasticity, which serves to maintain overall network function in the face of mounting experience-dependent changes in synaptic strengths. Homeostatic plasticity involves both changes in synaptic scaling and regulation of intrinsic excitability. Increases in spontaneous firing and excitability of sensory neurons are evident in some forms of chronic pain in both animal models and in human patients. However, it is not known whether homeostatic plasticity is engaged in sensory neurons under normal conditions or whether dysfunction in these homeostatic mechanisms might contribute to the pathophysiology of chronic pain. To address these questions, we tested the impact of sustained depolarization on various measures of excitability in mouse and human sensory neurons. Depolarization induced by 30mM KCl induces a compensatory decrease in the excitability of both mouse and human sensory neurons. Moreover, we also find that voltage-gated sodium currents are robustly inhibited in mouse sensory neurons after chronic depolarization, thus contributing to the overall decrease in neuronal excitability and serving as a potential regulatory mechanism to drive intrinsic neuronal homeostatic control. Our results indicate that mouse and human sensory neurons undergo homeostatic regulation of intrinsic excitability in response to sustained depolarization. Decreased efficacy of these homeostatic mechanisms could potentially contribute to the development of pathological conditions, including chronic pain.

Project description:Background Local translation at synapses is important for rapidly remodeling the synaptic proteome to sustain long-term plasticity and memory. While the regulatory mechanisms underlying memory-associated local translation have been widely elucidated in the postsynaptic/dendritic region, there is no direct evidence for which RNA-binding protein (RBP) in axons controls target-specific mRNA translation to promote long-term potentiation (LTP) and memory. We previously reported that translation controlled by cytoplasmic polyadenylation element binding protein 2 (CPEB2) is important for postsynaptic plasticity and memory. Here, we investigated whether CPEB2 regulates axonal translation to support presynaptic plasticity. Methods Behavioral and electrophysiological assessments were conducted in mice with pan neuron/glia- or AQ2glutamatergic neuron-specific knockout of CPEB2. Hippocampal Schaffer collateral (SC)-CA1 and temporoammonic (TA)-CA1 pathways were electro-recorded to monitor synaptic transmission and LTP evoked by 4 trains of high-frequency stimulation. RNA immunoprecipitation, coupled with bioinformatics analysis, were used to unveil CPEB2-binding axonal RNA candidates associated with learning, which were further validated by Western blotting and luciferase reporter assays. Adeno-associated viruses expressing Cre recombinase were stereotaxically delivered to the pre- or post-synaptic region of the TA circuit to ablate Cpeb2 for further electrophysiological investigation. Biochemically isolated synaptosomes and axotomized neurons cultured on a microfluidic platform were applied to measure axonal protein synthesis and FM4-64FX-loaded synaptic vesicles. Results Electrophysiological analysis of hippocampal CA1 neurons detected abnormal excitability and vesicle release probability in CPEB2-depleted SC and TA afferents, so we cross-compared the CPEB2-immunoprecipitated transcriptome with a learning-induced axonal translatome in the adult cortex to identify axonal targets possibly regulated by CPEB2. We validated that Slc17a6, encoding vesicular glutamate transporter 2 (VGLUT2), is translationally upregulated by CPEB2. Conditional knockout of CPEB2 in VGLUT2-expressing glutamatergic neurons impaired consolidation of hippocampus-dependent memory in mice. Presynaptic-specific ablation of Cpeb2 in VGLUT2-dominated TA afferents was sufficient to attenuate protein synthesis-dependent LTP. Moreover, blocking activity-induced axonal Slc17a6 translation by CPEB2 deficiency or cycloheximide diminished the releasable pool of VGLUT2-containing synaptic vesicles. Conclusions We identified 272 CPEB2-binding transcripts with altered axonal translation post-learning and established a causal link between CPEB2-driven axonal synthesis of VGLUT2 and presynaptic translation-dependent LTP. These findings extend our understanding of memory-related translational control mechanisms in the presynaptic compartment.

Project description:An electrophysiology-based forward genetic screen has identified two genes, pickpocket11 (ppk11) and pickpocket16 (ppk16), as being necessary for the homeostatic modulation of presynaptic neurotransmitter release at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction (NMJ). Pickpocket genes encode Degenerin/Epithelial Sodium channel subunits (DEG/ENaC). We demonstrate that ppk11 and ppk16 are necessary in presynaptic motoneurons for both the acute induction and long-term maintenance of synaptic homeostasis. We show that ppk11 and ppk16 are cotranscribed as a single mRNA that is upregulated during homeostatic plasticity. Acute pharmacological inhibition of a PPK11- and PPK16-containing channel abolishes the expression of short- and long-term homeostatic plasticity without altering baseline presynaptic neurotransmitter release, indicating remarkable specificity for homeostatic plasticity rather than NMJ development. Finally, presynaptic calcium imaging experiments support a model in which a PPK11- and PPK16-containing DEG/ENaC channel modulates presynaptic membrane voltage and, thereby, controls calcium channel activity to homeostatically regulate neurotransmitter release.

Project description:Presynaptic homeostatic plasticity (PHP) stabilizes synaptic transmission by counteracting impaired neurotransmitter receptor function through neurotransmitter release potentiation. PHP is thought to be triggered by impaired receptor function and to involve a stereotypic signaling pathway. However, here we demonstrate that different receptor perturbations that similarly reduce synaptic transmission result in different responses at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction. While receptor inhibition by the glutamate receptor (GluR) antagonist γ-D-glutamylglycine (γDGG) is not compensated by PHP, the GluR inhibitors Philanthotoxin-433 (PhTx) and Gyki-53655 (Gyki) induce compensatory PHP. Intriguingly, PHP triggered by PhTx and Gyki involve separable signaling pathways, including inhibition of distinct GluR subtypes, differential modulation of the active-zone scaffold Bruchpilot, and short-term plasticity. Moreover, while PHP upon Gyki treatment does not require genes promoting PhTx-induced PHP, it involves presynaptic protein kinase D. Thus, synapses not only respond differentially to similar activity impairments, but achieve homeostatic compensation via distinct mechanisms, highlighting the diversity of homeostatic signaling.

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.

Project description:Presynaptic homeostatic plasticity (PHP) adaptively regulates synaptic transmission in health and disease. Despite identification of numerous genes that are essential for PHP, we lack a dynamic framework to explain how PHP is initiated, potentiated, and limited to achieve precise control of vesicle fusion. Here, utilizing both mice and Drosophila, we demonstrate that PHP progresses through the assembly and physical expansion of presynaptic signaling foci where activated integrins biochemically converge with trans-synaptic Semaphorin2b/PlexinB signaling. Each component of the identified signaling complexes, including alpha/beta-integrin, Semaphorin2b, PlexinB, talin, and focal adhesion kinase (FAK), and their biochemical interactions, are essential for PHP. Complex integrity requires the Sema2b ligand and complex expansion includes a ∼2.5-fold expansion of active-zone associated puncta composed of the actin-binding protein talin. Finally, complex pre-expansion is sufficient to accelerate the rate and extent of PHP. A working model is proposed incorporating signal convergence with dynamic molecular assemblies that instruct PHP.
