Cytoplasmic FUS triggers early behavioral alterations linked to cortical neuronal hyperactivity and inhibitory synaptic defects

چکیده
Abstract Gene mutations causing cytoplasmic mislocalization of the RNA-binding protein FUS lead to severe forms amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Cytoplasmic accumulation is also observed in other diseases, with unknown consequences. Here, we show that drives behavioral abnormalities knock-in mice, including locomotor hyperactivity and alterations social interactions, absence widespread neuronal loss. Mechanistically, identified a progressive increase activity frontal cortex Fus mice vivo, associated altered synaptic gene expression. Synaptic ultrastructural morphological defects were more pronounced inhibitory than excitatory synapses increased synaptosomal levels its RNA targets. Thus, triggers deficits, which leading related phenotypes. These results indicate may trigger deleterious phenotypes beyond motor neuron impairment ALS, likely relevant for neurodegenerative diseases characterized by mislocalization.

Behavioral influences on cortical neuronal responses to optic flow.
Optic flow selectively activates neurons in medial superior temporal (MST) cortex. We find that many MST neurons yield larger and more selective responses when the optic flow guides a subsequent eye movement. Smaller, less selective responses are seen when optic flow is preceded by a flashed precue that guides eye movements. Selectivity can decrease by a third (32%) after a flashed precue is pr...

متن کاملInhibitory control of synaptic and behavioral plasticity by octopaminergic signaling.
Adrenergic receptors and their ligands are important regulators of synaptic plasticity and metaplasticity, but the exact mechanisms underlying their action are still poorly understood. Octopamine, the invertebrate homolog of mammalian adrenaline or noradrenaline, plays important roles in modulating behavior and synaptic functions. We previously uncovered an octopaminergic positive-feedback mech...
متن کاملEarly synaptic defects in tulp1-/- mice.
PURPOSE Mutations in the photoreceptor-specific tubby-like protein 1 (TULP1) underlie a form of autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa. To investigate the role of Tulp1 in the photoreceptor synapse, the authors examined the presynaptic and postsynaptic architecture and retinal function in tulp1(-/-) mice METHODS The authors used immunohistochemistry to examine tulp1(-/-) mice before retinal...
متن کاملActivity-dependent FUS dysregulation disrupts synaptic homeostasis.
The RNA-binding protein fused-in-sarcoma (FUS) has been associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), two neurodegenerative disorders that share similar clinical and pathological features. Both missense mutations and overexpression of wild-type FUS protein can be pathogenic in human patients. To study the molecular and cellular basis by which ...
