Project description:Hypertranscription facilitates biosynthetically demanding cellular state transitions through global upregulation of the nascent transcriptome. Despite its potential widespread relevance, documented examples of hypertranscription remain few and limited predominantly to early development. This limitation is in large part due to the fact that modern sequencing approaches, including single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), generally assume similar levels of transcriptional output per cell. Here, we use molecule counting and spike-in normalization to develop absolute scaling of single-cell RNA sequencing data. Absolute scaling enables an estimation of total transcript abundances per cell, which we validate in embryonic stem cell (ESC) and germline data and apply to adult mouse organs at steady-state or during regeneration.

Project description:The Hippo pathway controls the activity of YAP/TAZ transcriptional coactivators through a kinase cascade. Despite the critical role of this pathway in tissue growth and tumorigenesis, it is not fully understood how YAP/TAZ–mediated transcription drives proliferation. By analyzing the effects of inactivating LATS1/2 kinases, the direct upstream inhibitors of YAP/TAZ, on mouse brain development and applying cell-number–normalized transcriptome analysis, we discovered that YAP/TAZ activation causes a global increase in transcription activity, known as hypertranscription, and upregulates many genes associated with increased biosynthetic capacity and proliferation. In contrast, conventional read-depth–normalized RNA-sequencing analysis failed to detect the scope of the transcriptome shift and missed most relevant gene ontologies. Hypertranscription in neural progenitors inhibits differentiation and triggers DNA replication stress, DNA damage, and p53 activation, resulting in massive apoptosis. Our findings reveal the remarkable impact of YAP/TAZ activation on global transcription activity and have important implications for understanding YAP/TAZ function

Project description:Synaptic scaling is a form of homeostatic plasticity which allows neurons to reduce their action potential firing rate in response to chronic alterations in neural activity. Synaptic scaling requires profound changes in gene expression, but the relative contribution of local and cell-wide mechanisms to synaptic scaling is controversial. Here we performed a comprehensive multi-omics characterization of the somatic and process compartments of primary rat hippocampal neurons during synaptic scaling. Thereby, we uncovered highly compartment-specific and correlated changes in the neuronal transcriptome and proteome. Specifically, we identified highly compartment-specific downregulation of crucial regulators of neuronal excitability and excitatory synapse structure. Motif analysis further suggests an important role for trans-acting post-transcriptional regulators, including RNA-binding proteins and microRNAs, in the local regulation of the corresponding mRNAs. Altogether, our study indicates that compartmentalized gene expression changes are widespread in synaptic scaling and might co-exist with neuron-wide mechanism to allow synaptic computation and homeostasis.

Project description:To better comprehend how synaptic scaling affects the neuronal transcriptome, we used the whole genome microarray expression profiling in hippocampal cultures treated with AMPARs and synaptic NMDARs antagonists for 9h and 26h, or under control conditions. Gene ontology enrichment analysis showed altered transcripts associated with synaptic signalling and synaptic plasticity classes, including transcripts of several proteins already associated with synaptic scaling mechanisms.

Project description:Neural circuits utilize a host of homeostatic plasticity mechanisms, including synaptic scaling, to maintain stability in circuits undergoing experience-dependent remodeling necessary for information processing. During synaptic scaling, compensatory adaptations in synaptic strength are induced after chronic manipulations in neuronal firing, but our understanding of this process is largely limited to its initial induction. How these homeostatic synaptic adaptations evolve when activity renormalizes and their impact on subsequent homeostatic compensation are both poorly understood. To examine these issues, we investigated whether a previous history of homeostatic scaling in networks of cultured hippocampal neurons altered their subsequent homeostatic responses to chronic activity manipulations. Unexpectedly, we found that a history of synaptic scaling strongly suppressed future scaling to the same, and even opposite, activity challenges. This history-dependent suppression was specific for future homeostatic compensation, as networks with a prior scaling history showed no deficits in the chemical induction of long-term potentiation (cLTP), a Hebbian form of synaptic plasticity. Hippocampal neurons with a prior scaling history exhibited normal engagement of activity-dependent signaling during subsequent activity challenges (as assessed by examination of the ERK/MAPK pathway) but demonstrated widespread alterations in activity-dependent transcriptional
