Project description:Fear extinction is an adaptive behavioral process critical for organism’s survival, but deficiency in extinction may lead to PTSD. While the amygdala and its neural circuits are critical for fear extinction, the molecular identity and organizational logic of cell types that lie at the core of these circuits remain unclear. Here we report that mice deficient for amygdala-enriched gastrin-releasing peptide gene (Grp-/-) exhibit enhanced neuronal activity in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) and stronger fear conditioning, as well as deficient extinction in stress-enhanced fear learning (SEFL). rAAV2-retro-based tracing combined with visualization of the GFP knocked in the Grp gene showed that BLA receives several GRPergic conditioned stimulus projections: from the indirect auditory thalamus-to-auditory cortex pathway, medial prefrontal cortex, ventral hippocampus and ventral tegmental area. Transcription of dopamine-related genes was decreased in BLA of Grp-/- mice following SEFL extinction recall, suggesting that the GRP may mediate fear extinction regulation by dopamine.

Project description:Background: Extinction-based exposure therapy is used in treating anxiety- and trauma-related disorders, however there is the need to improve its limited efficacy in individuals with impaired fear extinction learning and to facilitate the inadequate protection against return-of-fear phenomena. Methods: Spontaneous recovery and fear renewal tests, assessed persistence and context-independence of treatments rescuing deficient fear extinction in 129S1/SvImJ mice. To reveal neurobiological mechanisms supporting long-lasting extinction rescue, whole-genome expression profiling, qRT-PCR, immunohistochemistry and chromatin immunoprecipitation were used. Results: Persistent and context-independent rescue of deficient fear extinction induced by dietary zinc-restriction was associated with enhanced expression of dopamine-related genes, such as genes encoding the dopamine- D1 (Drd1a) and -D2 (Drd2) receptor in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and amygdala. Moreover, enhanced histone acetylation was observed in the promoter of the extinction-regulated Drd2 gene in the mPFC, revealing a possibly involved gene regulatory mechanism. While enhancing histone acetylation, via administering the HDAC inhibitor MS275, does not induce successful fear reduction during extinction training, it promoted enduring and context-independent rescue of deficient fear extinction consolidation/retrieval once extinction learning was initiated. This was associated with enhanced neuronal histone acetylation in the mPFC and amygdala. Finally, as a proof of principle, mimicking enhanced dopaminergic signaling by L-dopa treatment rescued deficient fear extinction and co-administration of MS-275 rendered this effect enduring and context-independent. Conclusion: Current data reveal that combining dopaminergic and epigenetic mechanisms is a promising strategy to improve exposure-based behavior therapy in extinction-impaired individuals by initiating the formation of an enduring and context-independent fear inhibitory memory.

Project description:Trauma-related disorders arise from inefficient fear extinction and have immeasurable social and economic costs. Here, we characterized mouse phenotypes that spontaneously show individual differences in adaptive or maladaptive fear extinction and, before the traumatic experience, we found that specific morphological, electrophysiological and transcriptomic patterns of fear matrix pyramidal neurons predispose to trauma-related disorders. Finally, by using an optogenetic approach we showed the possibility to rescue the inefficient fear extinction activating fear matrix infralimbic pyramidal neurons

Project description:The dopamine transporter facilitates dopamine reuptake from the extracellular space to terminate neurotransmission. The transporter belongs to the neurotransmitter:sodium symporter family, which includes transporters for serotonin, norepinephrine, and GABA that utilize the Na+ gradient to drive the uptake of substrate. Decades ago, it was shown that the serotonin transporter also antiports K+, but investigations of K+-coupled transport in other neurotransmitter:sodium symporters have been inconclusive. Here, we show that ligand binding to the drosophila- and human dopamine transporters are inhibited by K+, and the conformational dynamics of the drosophila dopamine transporter in K+ are divergent from the apo- and Na+-states. Furthermore, we found that K+ increased dopamine uptake by the drosophila dopamine transporter in liposomes, and visualized Na+ and K+ fluxes in single proteoliposomes using fluorescent ion indicators. Our results expand on the fundamentals of dopamine transport and prompt a reevaluation of the impact of K+ on other transporters in this pharmacologically important family.

Project description:Dopaminergic (DA) neurons are the predominant cell type in the midbrain that synthesize dopamine, a neurotransmitter implicated in various behavioural processes, including motor function, the reward pathway, and satiety. In diseases affecting these neurons, such as in Parkinson’s disease (PD), there is growing evidence that the gut-brain axis and selective vulnerability of DA neurons plays a crucial role in disease. Most investigations relating to DA neurons in the gut rely on immunoreactivity to tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) - a rate-limiting enzyme in the production of dopamine. However, the reliability of TH staining as a marker of DA neurons has been questioned in recent years. Our aim is to perform a comprehensive characterization of DA neurons in the gut using a well-accepted reporter mouse line, expressing a fluorescent protein under the dopamine transporter promoter (DAT). Our findings confirm a unique localization of DA neurons in the gut, and unveil that there are discrete subtypes of DA neurons in the gut, which we characterized using both immunofluorescence and single-cell transcriptomics. We observed distinct subtypes of DAT neurons expressing co-transmitters and modulators across both plexuses; some of them likely co-releasing acetylcholine, and a smaller population likely releasing nitric oxide; while others were positive for a slew of canonical DA markers (Vmat2, Girk2, Foxa2). Given the clear heterogeneity of DA gut neurons, further investigation is warranted to define their functional signatures and discover their inherent biological differences that predispose these cells to neurodegeneration.

Project description:Loss-of-function mutations of the gene encoding the trafficking protein particle complex subunit 9 (trappc9) cause autosomal recessive intellectual disability and obesity by unknown mechanisms. Genome-wide analysis links trappc9 to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Trappc9-deficient mice have been shown to appear overweight shortly after weaning. Here, we analyzed serum biochemistry and histology of adipose and liver tissues to determine the incidence of obesity and NAFLD in trappc9-deficient mice and combined transcriptomic and proteomic analyses, pharmacological studies, and biochemical and histological examinations of postmortem mouse brains to unveil mechanisms involved. We found that trappc9-deficient mice presented with systemic glucose homeostatic disturbance, obesity and NAFLD, which were relieved upon chronic treatment combining dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2) agonist quinpirole and DRD1 antagonist SCH23390. Blood glucose homeostasis in trappc9-deficient mice was restored upon administrating quinpirole alone. RNA-sequencing analysis of DRD2- containing neurons and proteomic study of brain synaptosomes revealed signs of impaired neurotransmitter secretion in trappc9-deficient mice. Biochemical and histological studies of mouse brains showed that trappc9-deficient mice synthesized dopamine normally, but their dopamine-secreting neurons had a lower abundance of structures for releasing dopamine in the striatum. Our study suggests that trappc9 loss- of-function causes obesity and NAFLD by constraining dopamine synapse formation.
