Project description:Cortical neurons exhibit astounding diversity in gene expression as well as in morphological and electrophysiological properties. Most existing neural taxonomies are based on either transcriptomic or morpho-electric criteria, as it has been technically challenging to study both aspects of neuronal diversity in the same set of cells. Here we used Patch-seq to combine patch-clamp recording, biocytin staining, and single-cell RNA sequencing of over 1300 neurons in adult mouse motor cortex, providing a comprehensive morpho-electric annotation of almost all transcriptomically defined neural cell types. We found that, although broad families of transcriptomic types (Vip, Pvalb, Sst, etc.) had distinct and essentially non-overlapping morpho-electric phenotypes, individual transcriptomic types within the same family were not well-separated in the morpho-electric space. Instead, there was a continuum of variability in morphology and electrophysiology, with neighbouring transcriptomic cell types showing similar morpho-electric features, often without clear boundaries between them. Our results suggest that neural types in the neocortex do not always form discrete entities. Instead, neurons follow a hierarchy consisting of distinct non-overlapping branches at the level of families, but can form continuous and correlated transcriptomic and morpho-electrical landscapes within families.

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:Purpose: We applied polyA site sequencing (Passeq) to human Huntington's disease and control motor cortex and cerebellum to test if any genes change 3′UTR isoforms abundance. Methods: 3′ sequencing was performed on 6 motor cortices from grade 1 Huntington's patient brains, 4 motor cortices from grade 2 Huntington's patient brains, and 5 motor cortices from control brains. Cerebellum samples included 9 cerebella from grade 2-3 Huntington's patient brains, and 7 cerebella from control brains. To verify HTT isoforms in mice, sequencing was performed on 5 Q140 mouse striata and 3 wild-type mouse striata. Results: We report 11% of genes from Huntington's disease patient motor cortex exhibit a change in at least one of their 3′UTR isoforms, commensurate with the 11% of genes which show different total expression in HD motor cortex versus control. In contrast, gene isoform and expression changes are minimal (<5%) in Huntington's disease cerebellum versus controls. In the motor cortex, we show isoform and gene expression differs between between grade 1 and grade 2 brains. We identify a novel isoform of huntingtin mRNA which is conserved in wild-type and Huntington's model mice. Conclusions: This is the first study characterizing widespread alterations in 3′UTR isoform abundance in Huntington's disease. Alterations in isoform abundance may affect mRNA metabolism in Huntington's disease brains.

Project description:Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons leading to progressive muscle weakness, wasting and paralysis that result in death within a few years from disease onset.
In order to characterize RNA alterations in ALS, total RNAseq was performed in the ALS motor cortex, which is an early and vulnerable region in ALS.

Project description:The cerebellar cortex is a well-studied brain structure with diverse roles in motor learning, coordination, cognition, and autonomic regulation. Nonetheless, a complete inventory of cerebellar cell types is presently lacking. We used high-throughput transcriptional profiling to profile more than 600,000 nuclei and molecularly define cell types across individual lobules of the adult mouse cerebellum. Purkinje neurons showed considerable regional specialization, with the greatest diversity occurring in the posterior lobules. For multiple types of cerebellar interneurons, the molecular variation within each type was more continuous, rather than discrete. For the unipolar brush cells (UBCs)—an interneuron population previously subdivided into discrete populations—the continuous variation in gene expression was associated with a graded continuum of electrophysiological properties. Most surprisingly, we found that molecular layer interneurons (MLIs) were composed of two molecularly and functionally distinct types. Both show a continuum of morphological variation through the thickness of the molecular layer, but electrophysiological recordings revealed marked differences between the two types in spontaneous firing, excitability, and electrical coupling. Together, these findings provide the first comprehensive cellular atlas of the cerebellar cortex, and outline a methodological and conceptual framework for the integration of molecular, morphological, and physiological ontologies for defining brain cell types.

Project description:Introduction: Male estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) knockout (BERKO) mice display anxiety and aggression linked to, among others, altered serotonergic signaling in the basolateral amygdala and dorsal raphe, impaired cortical radial glia migration and reduced GABAergic signaling. Effects on primary motor cortex (M1 cortex) and locomotor activity as a consequence of ERβ loss have not been investigated. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether locomotor activity is altered as a consequence of the changes in the M1 cortex. Methods: Locomotor activity of WT and BERKO male mice was evaluated using the open-field and rotarod tests. Molecular changes in the M1 cortex were analyzed by RNA-sequencing, electron microscopy, electrophysiology, and immunofluorescence techniques. In addition, we established oligodendrocyte cultures from WT and BERKO mouse embryonic stem cells to evaluate oligodendrocyte function. Results: Locomotor profiling revealed that BERKO mice were more active than WT mice but had impaired motor coordination. Analysis of the M1 cortex pointed out differences in synapse function and myelination. There was a reduction in GABAergic signaling resulting in imbalanced excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission, as well as a defective oligodendrocyte differentiation accompanied by myelin defects. The effects of loss of ERβ on oligodendrocyte differentiation was confirmed in vitro. Conclusion: ERβ is an important regulator of GABAergic interneurons and oligodendrocyte differentiation, which impacts on adult M1 cortex function, and may be linked to increased locomotor activity and decreased motor coordination in BERKO mice.

Project description:We performed micrarrays to investigate neuronal gene expression changes during acute inflammatory CNS axon injury using the murine myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein 35-55 (MOG35-55)-induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model. The present study was assigned to assess the direct and indirect endogenous neuronal response to spinal axonal injury in the motor and sensory cortex. Gene expression in motor and sensory cortex enriched tissue was assessed from four healthy and six EAE female mice. Tissue was collected from mice with paraplegia or monoplegia, with contralateral hindlimb paresis (EAE day 18-21). The gene expression profiles of the EAE mice were compared to the motor or sensory cortex of healthy control mice, resulting in a list of differentially expressed genes in healthy and EAE mice.
