Abstract
The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis is an extremely dynamic system with a combination of both circadian and ultradian oscillations. This state of 'continuous dynamic equilibration' provides a platform that is able to anticipate events, is sensitive in its response to stressors, remains robust during perturbations of both the internal and external environments and shows plasticity to adapt to a changed environment. In this review, we describe these oscillations of glucocorticoid (GC) hormones and why they are so important for GC-dependent gene activation in the brain and liver, and their consequent effects on the regulation of synaptic and memory function as well as appetite control and metabolic regulation. Abnormalities of mood, appetite and metabolic regulation are well-known consequences of GC therapy, and we suggest that the pattern of GC treatment and hormone replacement should be a much higher priority for endocrinologists and the pharmaceutical industry. One of the major impediments to our research on the importance of these cortisol rhythms in our patients has been our inability to measure repeated levels of hormones across the day in patients in their home or work surroundings. We describe how new wearable methodologies now allow the measurement of 24-h cortisol profiles - including during sleep - and will enable us to define physiological normality and allow us both to develop better diagnostic tests and inform, at an individual patient level, how to improve replacement therapy.

JNK activity modulates postsynaptic scaffold protein SAP102 and kainate receptor dynamics in dendritic spines. J Biol Chem 2024; 300:107263. [PMID: 38582451 PMCID: PMC11081805 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2024.107263] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2023] [Revised: 03/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/08/2024] Open
Abstract
Synapse formation depends on the coordinated expression and regulation of scaffold proteins. The JNK family kinases play a role in scaffold protein regulation, but the nature of this functional interaction in dendritic spines requires further investigation. Here, using a combination of biochemical methods and live-cell imaging strategies, we show that the dynamics of the synaptic scaffold molecule SAP102 are negatively regulated by JNK inhibition, that SAP102 is a direct phosphorylation target of JNK3, and that SAP102 regulation by JNK is restricted to neurons that harbor mature synapses. We further demonstrate that SAP102 and JNK3 cooperate in the regulated trafficking of kainate receptors to the cell membrane. Specifically, we observe that SAP102, JNK3, and the kainate receptor subunit GluK2 exhibit overlapping expression at synaptic sites and that modulating JNK activity influences the surface expression of the kainate receptor subunit GluK2 in a neuronal context. We also show that SAP102 participates in this process in a JNK-dependent fashion. In summary, our data support a model in which JNK-mediated regulation of SAP102 influences the dynamic trafficking of kainate receptors to postsynaptic sites, and thus shed light on common pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the cognitive developmental defects associated with diverse mutations.

Abstract
The targeted deletion, replacement, integration or inversion of genomic sequences could be used to study or treat human genetic diseases, but existing methods typically require double-strand DNA breaks (DSBs) that lead to undesired consequences, including uncontrolled indel mixtures and chromosomal abnormalities. Here we describe twin prime editing (twinPE), a DSB-independent method that uses a prime editor protein and two prime editing guide RNAs (pegRNAs) for the programmable replacement or excision of DNA sequences at endogenous human genomic sites. The two pegRNAs template the synthesis of complementary DNA flaps on opposing strands of genomic DNA, which replace the endogenous DNA sequence between the prime-editor-induced nick sites. When combined with a site-specific serine recombinase, twinPE enabled targeted integration of gene-sized DNA plasmids (>5,000 bp) and targeted sequence inversions of 40 kb in human cells. TwinPE expands the capabilities of precision gene editing and might synergize with other tools for the correction or complementation of large or complex human pathogenic alleles.

Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the TLR4/NF-κB/MAGI-2 signaling pathway in postoperative delirium. Methods: Elderly patients aged 65-80 years who received unilateral hip arthroplasty under subarachnoid anesthesia were included. Pre-anesthesia cerebrospinal fluid and perioperative blood samples were collected. After follow-up, patients were divided into two groups according to the occurrence of postoperative delirium (POD) after surgery. The potential differentially expressed proteins in the two groups were determined by proteomics assay and subsequent western blot validation. A POD model of aged mice was established, and the TLR4/NF-κB/MAGI-2 signaling pathway was determined. Main findings: The IL-1β and TNF-α levels in pre-anesthesia cerebrospinal fluid and postoperative blood were higher in patients who developed POD than in those patients who did not. Compared with non-POD patients, MAGI-2 was highly expressed in POD patients, as validated by proteomics assays and western blotting. Higher p-NF-κB-p65, TLR4 and MAGI-2 in POD patients were detected by western blot. The POD model in aged mice was successfully established and verified by three behavioral tests. Postoperative inflammatory cytokines and the TLR4/NF-κB/MAGI-2 signaling pathway were increased in mice with POD. Inhibiting TLR4/NF-κB/MAGI-2 signaling pathway could reduce postoperative delirium. Conclusions: The TLR4/NF-κB/MAGI-2 signaling pathway mediates POD.

Abstract
Abnormal social behavior, including both hypo- and hypersociability, is often observed in neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorders. However, the mechanisms associated with these two distinct social behavior abnormalities remain unknown. Postsynaptic density protein-95 (PSD-95) is a highly abundant scaffolding protein in the excitatory synapses and an essential regulator of synaptic maturation by binding to NMDA and AMPA receptors. The DLG4 gene encodes PSD-95, and it is a risk gene for hypersocial behavior. Interestingly, PSD-95 knockout mice exhibit hyposociability during adolescence but hypersociability in adulthood. The adolescent hyposociability is accompanied with an NMDAR hyperfunction in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), an essential part of the social brain for control of sociability. The maturation of mPFC development is delayed until young adults. However, how PSD-95 deficiency affects the functional maturation of mPFC and its connection with other social brain regions remains uncharacterized. It is especially unknown how PSD-95 knockout drives the switch of social behavior from hypo- to hyper-sociability during adolescent-to-adult development. We propose an NMDAR-dependent developmental switch of hypo- to hyper-sociability. PSD-95 deficiency disrupts NMDAR-mediated synaptic connectivity of mPFC and social brain during development in an age- and pathway-specific manner. By utilizing the PSD-95 deficiency mouse, the mechanisms contributing to both hypo- and hyper-sociability can be studied in the same model. This will allow us to assess both local and long-range connectivity of mPFC and examine how they are involved in the distinct impairments in social behavior and how changes in these connections may mature over time.

Abstract
Critical periods are postnatal, restricted time windows of heightened plasticity in cortical neural networks, during which experience refines principal neuron wiring configurations. Here, we propose a model with two distinct types of synapses, innate synapses that establish rudimentary networks with innate function, and gestalt synapses that govern the experience-dependent refinement process. Nascent gestalt synapses are constantly formed as AMPA receptor-silent synapses which are the substrates for critical period plasticity. Experience drives the unsilencing and stabilization of gestalt synapses, as well as synapse pruning. This maturation process changes synapse patterning and consequently the functional architecture of cortical excitatory networks. Ocular dominance plasticity (ODP) in the primary visual cortex (V1) is an established experimental model for cortical plasticity. While converging evidence indicates that the start of the critical period for ODP is marked by the maturation of local inhibitory circuits, recent results support our model that critical periods end through the progressive maturation of gestalt synapses. The cooperative yet opposing function of two postsynaptic signaling scaffolds of excitatory synapses, PSD-93 and PSD-95, governs the maturation of gestalt synapses. Without those proteins, networks do not progress far beyond their innate functionality, resulting in rather impaired perception. While cortical networks remain malleable throughout life, the cellular mechanisms and the scope of critical period and adult plasticity differ. Critical period ODP is initiated with the depression of deprived eye responses in V1, whereas adult ODP is characterized by an initial increase in non-deprived eye responses. Our model proposes the gestalt synapse-based mechanism for critical period ODP, and also predicts a different mechanism for adult ODP based on the sparsity of nascent gestalt synapses at that age. Under our model, early life experience shapes the boundaries (the gestalt) for network function, both for its optimal performance as well as for its pathological state. Thus, reintroducing nascent gestalt synapses as plasticity substrates into adults may improve the network gestalt to facilitate functional recovery.

Abstract
Dynamic connectivity in functional brain networks is a fundamental aspect of cognitive development, but we have little understanding of the mechanisms driving variability in these networks. Genes are likely to influence the emergence of fast network connectivity via their regulation of neuronal processes, but novel methods to capture these rapid dynamics have rarely been used in genetic populations. The current study redressed this by investigating brain network dynamics in a neurodevelopmental disorder of known genetic origin, by comparing individuals with a ZDHHC9-associated intellectual disability to individuals with no known impairment. We characterised transient network dynamics using a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) on magnetoencephalography (MEG) data, at rest and during auditory oddball stimulation. The HMM is a data-driven method that captures rapid patterns of coordinated brain activity recurring over time. Resting-state network dynamics distinguished the groups, with ZDHHC9 participants showing longer state activation and, crucially, ZDHHC9 gene expression levels predicted the group differences in dynamic connectivity across networks. In contrast, network dynamics during auditory oddball stimulation did not show this association. We demonstrate a link between regional gene expression and brain network dynamics, and present the new application of a powerful method for understanding the neural mechanisms linking genetic variation to cognitive difficulties.

Abstract
Most genetic variants that contribute to disease1 are challenging to correct efficiently
and without excess byproducts2–5. Here we
describe prime editing, a versatile and precise genome editing method that
directly writes new genetic information into a specified DNA site using a
catalytically impaired Cas9 fused to an engineered reverse transcriptase,
programmed with a prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA) that both specifies the
target site and encodes the desired edit. We performed >175 edits in
human cells including targeted insertions, deletions, and all 12 types of point
mutations without requiring double-strand breaks or donor DNA templates. We
applied prime editing in human cells to correct efficiently and with few
byproducts the primary genetic causes of sickle cell disease (requiring a
transversion in HBB) and Tay-Sachs disease (requiring a
deletion in HEXA), to install a protective transversion in
PRNP, and to precisely insert various tags and epitopes
into target loci. Four human cell lines and primary post-mitotic mouse cortical
neurons support prime editing with varying efficiencies. Prime editing shows
higher or similar efficiency and fewer byproducts than homology-directed repair,
complementary strengths and weaknesses compared to base editing, and much lower
off-target editing than Cas9 nuclease at known Cas9 off-target sites. Prime
editing substantially expands the scope and capabilities of genome editing, and
in principle can correct up to 89% of known genetic variants associated with
human diseases.

Abstract
To correctly transfer information, neuronal networks need to continuously adjust their synaptic strength to extrinsic stimuli. This ability, termed synaptic plasticity, is at the heart of their function and is, thus, tightly regulated. In glutamatergic neurons, synaptic strength is controlled by the number and function of AMPA receptors at the postsynapse, which mediate most of the fast excitatory transmission in the central nervous system. Their trafficking to, at, and from the synapse, is, therefore, a key mechanism underlying synaptic plasticity. Intensive research over the last 20 years has revealed the increasing importance of interacting proteins, which accompany AMPA receptors throughout their lifetime and help to refine the temporal and spatial modulation of their trafficking and function. In this review, we discuss the current knowledge about the roles of key partners in regulating AMPA receptor trafficking and focus especially on the movement between the intracellular, extrasynaptic, and synaptic pools. We examine their involvement not only in basal synaptic function, but also in Hebbian and homeostatic plasticity. Included in our review are well-established AMPA receptor interactants such as GRIP1 and PICK1, the classical auxiliary subunits TARP and CNIH, and the newest additions to AMPA receptor native complexes.
