Project description:Astroglial Hmgb1 regulates postnatal astrocyte morphogenesis and cerebrovascular maturation
| PRJNA932463 | ENA
Project description:Astrocytes are intimately linked with brain blood vessels, a relationship critical for neuronal function. However, astroglial factors driving these physical and functional associations during postnatal brain development have yet to be identified. By characterizing structural and transcriptional changes in mouse cortical astrocytes during the first two postnatal weeks, we find that high-mobility group box 1 (Hmgb1), normally upregulated with injury and involved in adult cerebrovascular repair, is highly expressed in astrocytes at birth and then decreases rapidly. Astrocyte-selective ablation of Hmgb1 at birth affects astrocyte morphology and endfoot placement, alters distribution of endfoot proteins connexin43 and aquaporin-4, induces transcriptional changes in astrocytes related to cytoskeleton remodeling, and profoundly disrupts endothelial ultrastructure. While lack of astroglial Hmgb1 does not affect the blood-brain barrier or angiogenesis postnatally, it impairs neurovascular coupling and behavior in adult mice. These findings identify astroglial Hmgb1 as a key player in postnatal gliovascular maturation.

Project description:Astrocytes are intimately linked with brain vessels, a relationship that is critical for neuronal health and function. However, key astroglial molecular factors that drive these physical and functional associations during postnatal brain development have not yet been identified. We characterized structural and transcriptional changes in mouse cortical astrocytes and microvessels during the first two postnatal weeks and found that high-mobility group box 1 (Hmgb1), normally upregulated with injury and involved in adult cerebrovascular repair, was highly expressed in astrocytes at birth to then decreased rapidly. Astrocyte-selective ablation of Hmgb1 in newborn mice affected astrocyte morphology and endfoot placement, induced disruption of endfoot proteins connexin43 and aquaporin-4, induced transcriptional changes in astrocytes, and profoundly altered endothelial cell ultrastructure. While lack of astroglial Hmgb1 did not affect the blood-brain barrier or angiogenesis postnatally, it impaired neurovascular coupling and behavior in adult mice. These findings identify astroglial Hmgb1 as a key player in postnatal gliovascular maturation.

Project description:Astrocytes, the most prominent glial cell type in the brain, send specialized processes called endfeet around blood vessels and express a large molecular repertoire regulating the cerebrovascular system physiology. One of the most striking properties of astrocyte endfeet is their enrichment in gap junction protein Connexin 43 and 30 (Cx43 and Cx30) allowing in particular for direct intercellular trafficking of ions and small signaling molecules through perivascular astroglial networks. In this study, we addressed the specific role of Cx30 at the gliovascular interface. Using an inactivation mouse model for Cx30 (Cx30M-NM-^T/M-NM-^T), we showed that absence of Cx30 does not affect blood-brain barrier (BBB) organization and permeability. However, it results in the cerebrovascular fraction, in a strong upregulation of Sgcg encoding g-Sarcoglycan (SG), a member of the Dystrophin-associated protein complex (DAPC) connecting cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix. The same molecular event occurs in Cx30T5M/T5M mutated mice, where Cx30 channels are closed, demonstrating that Sgcg regulation relied on Cx30 channel functions. We further characterized the cerebrovascular Sarcoglycan complex (SGC) and showed the presence of M-NM-1-, M-NM-2-, M-NM-4-, M-NM-3-, M-NM-5- and M-NM-6- SG, as well as Sarcospan. Altogether, our results suggest that the Sarcoglycan complex is present in the cerebrovascular system, and that expression of one of its members, g-Sarcoglycan, depends on Cx30 channels. As described in skeletal muscles, the SGC may contribute to membrane stabilization and signal transduction in the cerebrovascular system, which may therefore be regulated by Cx30 channel-mediated functions. Comparison of 3-month-old Cx30 deleted mice against WT genetic background.

Project description:LC/MS/MS analysis was performed on astroglial exosome samples (3 biological replicates) to identify proteins expressed on the surface of astroglial exosomes. Thes astroglial exosome samples were purified using size-exclusion column from astrocyte conditioned medium (ACM) of primary astrocyte cultures.

The same molecular event occurs in Cx30T5M/T5M mutated mice, where Cx30 channels are closed, demonstrating that Sgcg regulation relied on Cx30 channel functions. We further characterized the cerebrovascular Sarcoglycan complex (SGC) and showed the presence of α-, β-, δ-, γ-, ε- and ζ- SG, as well as Sarcospan. Altogether, our results suggest that the Sarcoglycan complex is present in the cerebrovascular system, and that expression of one of its members, g-Sarcoglycan, depends on Cx30 channels. As described in skeletal muscles, the SGC may contribute to membrane stabilization and signal transduction in the cerebrovascular system, which may therefore be regulated by Cx30 channel-mediated functions.

Project description:Astrocytic morphogenesis and maturation are critical steps in CNS development. The time window of astrocyte morphological development is well defined, but the molecular underpinnings are still unclear. BDNF is a critical growth factor involved in the development of the CNS, including synapse refinement. Here we demonstrate the BDNF receptor at Ntrk2 is enriched in astrocytes relative to all CNS cell populations. RNA sequencing indicates Ntrk2 falls in the top 0.001% of all gene transcripts expressed in juvenile astrocytes, almost exclusively due to truncated TrkB.T1. Astrocyte complexity is increased in the presence of BNDF in vitro, which is dependent upon the presence of TrkB.T1. Furthermore, deletion of TrkB.T1 in vivo revealed astrocytes with significantly reduced volume and branching complexities. Indicating a role for functional astrocyte maturation via BDNF/TrkB.T1 signaling, TrkB.T1 KO astrocytes do not support normal excitatory synaptogenesis. Together, these data suggest a significant role for BDNF/TrkB.T1 signaling in astrocyte morphogenesis and indicate this signaling may contribute to astrocyte regulation of neuronal synapse development.
