项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a new R01 proposal addressing neural pathways and gene expression in habenula- midbrain circuits. The habenula is a dorsal thalamic nucleus consisting of medial (MH) and lateral (LH) subnuclei that participate in distinct neural pathways. The MH and LH both send their output fibers to the ventral midbrain via the prominent fasciculus retroflexus (FR), but only the LH directly innervates midbrain dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5HT) systems, while the MH projects first to the interpeduncular nucleus (IP), which in turn projects to ventral midbrain. Recent behavioral experiments suggest strong functional interactions between the habenula-midbrain pathway and the monoamine systems, with major implications for mood disorders, cognitive disorders, and addiction. Using microarrays and bioinformatic approaches, we have recently shown that molecular markers identify subpopulations of neurons in the MH and LH which suggest functional heterogeneity within these nuclei. Further progress in understanding habenula function will require a much better understanding of these distinct molecular classes of habenula neurons, including their anatomic and functional connectivity, which are not accessible to conventional tract-tracing methods. Here we propose three Specific Aims that will explore habenula circuits and rapidly delineate the connections of defined populations of neurons in the MH, LH and IP. These experiments are planned in a short time-frame (3 years) and with cost-effective use of existing tools, including genomic and bioinformatic assets from the Gensat and Allen Brain Institute brain mapping projects. Aim 1. Test the hypothesis that specific subpopulations of MH and LH neurons participate in distinct neural pathways. Use transgenic mice with LacZ, GFP, and Cre reporters to trace the projections of genetically defined classes of MH, LH, and IP neurons to the midbrain. Available lines target the Brn3a, Gpr151, Tac2/SK, Slc18a3, Chrnb4, Prokr2, Chrna5, Tac1/SP, and Chat genes. Aim 2. Test the hypothesis that the LH provides input to the mesolimbic DA system via GABAergic neurons of the mesopontine rostromedial tegmental nucleus (RMTg) in mice as it does in rats. Localize the mouse RMTg using cFos induction, anterograde tract tracing from the LH, and GABA marker expression. Identify the LH subpopulations projecting to the RMTg using transgenic tracing. Aim 3. In collaboration with the Allen Institute, use bioinformatic analysis to test the hypothesis that key nodes of the habenula pathway, specifically the forebrain septal nuclei, LH, IP and RMTg, have distinctive gene expression profiles, as previously demonstrated for the MH. These gene expression profiles will form the basis for the genetic manipulation of habenula pathways in future studies.
描述(由申请人提供):这是一项新的R 01提案,涉及缰核-中脑回路中的神经通路和基因表达。缰核是丘脑背侧核,由内侧(MH)和外侧(LH)亚核组成,参与不同的神经通路。LH和MH都通过突出的反曲束(FR)向中脑腹侧发出输出纤维,但只有LH直接支配中脑多巴胺(DA)和5-羟色胺(5-HT)系统,而MH首先投射到脚间核(IP),后者再投射到中脑腹侧。最近的行为实验表明,缰-中脑通路和单胺系统之间存在强有力的功能相互作用,对情绪障碍、认知障碍和成瘾具有重要意义。 使用微阵列和生物信息学的方法,我们最近表明,分子标记识别亚群的神经元在MH和LH,这表明这些核内的功能异质性。进一步了解缰核功能的进展,将需要更好地了解这些不同的分子类的缰核神经元,包括其解剖和功能的连接,这是无法访问传统的束跟踪方法。 在这里,我们提出了三个具体的目标,将探讨缰回路,并迅速描绘在MH,LH和IP的神经元的定义群体的连接。这些实验计划在较短的时间内(3年),并具有成本效益地使用现有的工具,包括基因组和生物信息学资产从Gensat和艾伦脑研究所脑绘图项目。 目标1.检验特定的MH和LH神经元亚群参与不同的神经通路的假设。使用带有LacZ、GFP和Cre报告基因的转基因小鼠追踪遗传定义的MH、LH和IP神经元类向中脑的投射。可用的细胞系靶向Brn 3a、Gpr 151、Tac 2/SK、Slc 18 a3、Chrnb 4、Prokr 2、Chrna 5、Tac 1/SP和Chat基因。 目标2.验证LH通过小鼠中脑脑桥头内侧被盖核(RMTg)的GABA能神经元向中脑边缘DA系统提供输入的假设。使用cFos诱导、来自LH的顺行束追踪和GABA标记物表达定位小鼠RMTg。使用转基因追踪鉴定投射到RMTg的LH亚群。 目标3.与艾伦研究所合作,使用生物信息学分析来检验这一假设,即缰核通路的关键节点,特别是前脑隔核、LH、IP和RMTg,具有独特的基因表达谱,正如先前对MH所证明的那样。这些基因表达谱将形成在未来的研究缰通路的遗传操作的基础。
