Inspired by the discovery that mutations in SLC7A5, a transporter of metabolically essential large neutral amino acids (LNAAs), lead to autism, we employed metabolomic profiling to study the metabolic states of the cerebral cortex across different developmental stages. We found that the forebrain undergoes significant metabolic remodeling throughout development, with certain groups of metabolites showing stage-specific changes, but what are the consequences of perturbing this metabolic program? By manipulating Slc7a5 expression in neural cells, we found that the metabolism of LNAAs and lipids are interconnected in the cortex. Deletion of Slc7a5 in neurons affects the postnatal metabolic state, leading to a shift in lipid metabolism. Additionally, it causes stage- and cell-type-specific alterations in neuronal activity patterns, resulting in a long-term circuit dysfunction. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: PreCl - _id: EM-Fac - _id: Bio - _id: LifeSc acknowledgement: We thank A.

Indeed, a wealth of knowledge has revealed a critical role of microglia in modulating synaptic transmission and plasticity in the developing brain. In the past decade, novel pharmacological and genetic strategies have allowed the acute removal of microglia, opening the possibility to explore and understand the role of microglia also in the adult brain. In this review, we summarized and discussed the contribution of microglia depletion strategies to the current understanding of the role of microglia on synaptic function, learning and memory, and behavior both in physiological and pathological conditions. We first described the available microglia depletion methods highlighting their main strengths and weaknesses. We then reviewed the impact of microglia depletion on structural and functional synaptic plasticity. Next, we focused our analysis on the effects of microglia depletion on behavior, including general locomotor activity, sensory perception, motor function, sociability, learning and memory both in healthy animals and animal models of disease. Finally, we integrated the findings from the reviewed studies and discussed the emerging roles of microglia on the maintenance of synaptic function, learning, memory strength and forgetfulness, and the implications of microglia depletion in models of brain disease. acknowledgement: "The write-up of the review was supported by Sapienza University of Rome (Fondi di Ateneo, grant numbers #MA32117A7B698029 and #PH12017270934C3C to SD), Regione Lazio (POR FSE 2014/20, grant number #19036AP000000019 to SD), Fulbright 2019 (grant number\r\n#FSP-P005556 to SD), Institute Pasteur Italia (Fondi Cenci Bolognetti #363 to DR), and Network of European Funding for Neuroscience Research (ERA-NET NEURON Transnational\r\nResearch Projects on Neurodevelopmental Disorders 2021, grant acronym #JTC2021-SHANKAstro to DR)." article_number: '1022431' article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Bernadette full_name: Basilico, Bernadette id: 36035796-5ACA-11E9-A75E-7AF2E5697425 last_name: Basilico orcid: 0000-0003-1843-3173 - first_name: Laura full_name: Ferrucci, Laura last_name: Ferrucci - first_name: Azka full_name: Khan, Azka last_name: Khan - first_name: Silvia full_name: Di Angelantonio, Silvia last_name: Di Angelantonio - first_name: Davide full_name: Ragozzino, Davide last_name: Ragozzino - first_name: Ingrid full_name: Reverte, Ingrid last_name: Reverte citation: ama: Basilico B, Ferrucci L, Khan A, Di Angelantonio S, Ragozzino D, Reverte I.

The epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a well-recognized driving force of the invasive behavior of cancer. However, the primary mechanisms of EMT initiation and progression remain unclear. We have previously showed that certain substrate stiffness can selectively stimulate human GBM U251-MG and GL15 glioblastoma cell lines motility. The present study unifies several known EMT mediators to uncover the reason of the regulation and response to these stiffnesses. Our results revealed that changing the rigidity of the mechanical environment tuned the response of both cell lines through change in morphological features, epithelial-mesenchymal markers (E-, N-Cadherin), EGFR and ROS expressions in an interrelated manner. Specifically, a stiffer microenvironment induced a mesenchymal cell shape, a more fragmented morphology, higher intracellular cytosolic ROS expression and lower mitochondrial ROS. Finally, we observed that cells more motile showed a more depolarized mitochondrial membrane potential. Unravelling the process that regulates GBM cells’ infiltrative behavior could provide new opportunities for identification of new targets and less invasive approaches for treatment. acknowledgement: "The research leading to these results has received funding from AIRC under IG 2021 - ID. 26328 project – P.I.

However, how they influence the normal functioning of synapses is largely unknown. In this study, we characterized the effects of pharmacological microglia depletion, achieved by administration of PLX5622, on hippocampal CA3-CA1 synapses of adult wild type mice. Following microglial depletion, we observed a reduction of spontaneous and evoked glutamatergic activity associated with a decrease of dendritic spine density. We also observed the appearance of immature synaptic features and higher levels of plasticity. Microglia depleted mice showed a deficit in the acquisition of the Novel Object Recognition task. These events were accompanied by hippocampal astrogliosis, although in the absence ofneuroinflammatory condition. PLX-induced synaptic changes were absent in Cx3cr1−/− mice, highlighting the role of CX3CL1/CX3CR1 axis in microglia control of synaptic functioning. Remarkably, microglia repopulation after PLX5622 withdrawal was associated with the recovery of hippocampal synapses and learning functions. Altogether, these data demonstrate that microglia contribute to normal synaptic functioning in the adult brain and that their removal induces reversible changes in organization and activity of glutamatergic synapses. acknowledgement: The work was supported by a grant from MIUR (PRIN 2017HPTFFC_003) to Davide Ragozzino and in part by funds to Silvia Di Angelantonio (CrestOptics-IIT JointLab for Advanced Microscopy) and Daniele Caprioli (Istituto Pasteur-Fondazione Cenci Bolognetti).

Chronic stress can influence all organs via the secretion of stress hormones, including glucocorticoids by the adrenal glands, which coordinate the stress response across the body. In the brain, glucocorticoid receptors (GR) are expressed by various cell types including microglia, which are its resident immune cells regulating stress-induced inflammatory processes. To study the roles of microglial GR under normal homeostatic conditions and following chronic stress, we generated a mouse model in which the GR gene is depleted in microglia specifically at adulthood to prevent developmental confounds. We first confirmed that microglia were depleted in GR in our model in males and females among the cingulate cortex and the hippocampus, both stress-sensitive brain regions. Then, cohorts of microglial-GR depleted and wild-type (WT) adult female mice were housed for 3 weeks in a standard or stressful condition, using a chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) paradigm. CUMS induced stress-related behavior in both microglial-GR depleted and WT animals as demonstrated by a decrease of both saccharine preference and progressive ratio breakpoint. Nevertheless, the hippocampal microglial and neural mechanisms underlying the adaptation to stress occurred differently between the two genotypes. Upon CUMS exposure, microglial morphology was altered in the WT controls, without any apparent effect in microglial-GR depleted mice. Furthermore, in the standard environment condition, GR depleted-microglia showed increased expression of pro-inflammatory genes, and genes involved in microglial homeostatic functions (such as Trem2, Cx3cr1 and Mertk). On the contrary, in CUMS condition, GR depleted-microglia showed reduced expression levels of pro-inflammatory genes and increased neuroprotective as well as anti-inflammatory genes compared to WT-microglia. Moreover, in microglial-GR depleted mice, but not in WT mice, CUMS led to a significant reduction of CA1 long-term potentiation and paired-pulse ratio. Lastly, differences in adult hippocampal neurogenesis were observed between the genotypes during normal homeostatic conditions, with microglial-GR deficiency increasing the formation of newborn neurons in the dentate gyrus subgranular zone independently from stress exposure. Together, these findings indicate that, although the deletion of microglial GR did not prevent the animal’s ability to respond to stress, it contributed to modulating hippocampal functions in both standard and stressful conditions, notably by shaping the microglial response to chronic stress. acknowledgement: We acknowledge that Université Laval stands on the traditional and unceded land of the Huron-Wendat peoples; and that the University of Victoria exists on the territory of the Lekwungen peoples and that the Songhees, Esquimalt and WSÁNEÆ peoples have relationships to this land.

In mouse, constitutive haploinsufficiency leads to motor coordination deficits as well as ASD-relevant social and cognitive impairments. However, induction of Cul3 haploinsufficiency later in life does not lead to ASD-relevant behaviors, pointing to an important role of Cul3 during a critical developmental window. Here we show that Cul3 is essential to regulate neuronal migration and, therefore, constitutive Cul3 heterozygous mutant mice display cortical lamination abnormalities. At the molecular level, we found that Cul3 controls neuronal migration by tightly regulating the amount of Plastin3 (Pls3), a previously unrecognized player of neural migration. Furthermore, we found that Pls3 cell-autonomously regulates cell migration by regulating actin cytoskeleton organization, and its levels are inversely proportional to neural migration speed. Finally, we provide evidence that cellular phenotypes associated with autism-linked gene haploinsufficiency can be rescued by transcriptional activation of the intact allele in vitro, offering a proof of concept for a potential therapeutic approach for ASDs. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: PreCl acknowledgement: We thank A.

Here, we used Cul3 mouse models to evaluate the consequences of Cul3 mutations in vivo. Our results show that Cul3 haploinsufficient mice exhibit deficits in motor coordination as well as ASD-relevant social and cognitive impairments. Cul3 mutant brain displays cortical lamination abnormalities due to defective neuronal migration and reduced numbers of excitatory and inhibitory neurons. In line with the observed abnormal columnar organization, Cul3 haploinsufficiency is associated with decreased spontaneous excitatory and inhibitory activity in the cortex. At the molecular level, employing a quantitative proteomic approach, we show that Cul3 regulates cytoskeletal and adhesion protein abundance in mouse embryos. Abnormal regulation of cytoskeletal proteins in Cul3 mutant neuronal cells results in atypical organization of the actin mesh at the cell leading edge, likely causing the observed migration deficits. In contrast to these important functions early in development, Cul3 deficiency appears less relevant at adult stages. In fact, induction of Cul3 haploinsufficiency in adult mice does not result in the behavioral defects observed in constitutive Cul3 haploinsufficient animals. Taken together, our data indicate that Cul3 has a critical role in the regulation of cytoskeletal proteins and neuronal migration and that ASD-associated defects and behavioral abnormalities are primarily due to Cul3 functions at early developmental stages. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: PreCl article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Jasmin full_name: Morandell, Jasmin id: 4739D480-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Morandell - first_name: Lena A full_name: Schwarz, Lena A id: 29A8453C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Schwarz - first_name: Bernadette full_name: Basilico, Bernadette id: 36035796-5ACA-11E9-A75E-7AF2E5697425 last_name: Basilico orcid: 0000-0003-1843-3173 - first_name: Saren full_name: Tasciyan, Saren id: 4323B49C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Tasciyan orcid: 0000-0003-1671-393X - first_name: Armel full_name: Nicolas, Armel id: 2A103192-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Nicolas - first_name: Christoph M full_name: Sommer, Christoph M id: 4DF26D8C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sommer orcid: 0000-0003-1216-9105 - first_name: Caroline full_name: Kreuzinger, Caroline id: 382077BA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kreuzinger - first_name: Lisa full_name: Knaus, Lisa id: 3B2ABCF4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Knaus - first_name: Zoe full_name: Dobler, Zoe id: D23090A2-9057-11EA-883A-A8396FC7A38F last_name: Dobler - first_name: Emanuele full_name: Cacci, Emanuele last_name: Cacci - first_name: Johann G full_name: Danzl, Johann G id: 42EFD3B6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Danzl orcid: 0000-0001-8559-3973 - first_name: Gaia full_name: Novarino, Gaia id: 3E57A680-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Novarino orcid: 0000-0002-7673-7178 citation: ama: Morandell J, Schwarz LA, Basilico B, et al.

At the same time, these studies highlighted the necessity of identifying sensitive developmental time windows for successful therapeutic interventions. Animal and human studies also uncovered the possibility to stratify the variety of ASDs in molecularly distinct subgroups, potentially facilitating effective treatment design. Here, we focus on the molecular pathways emerging as commonly affected by mutations in diverse ASD-risk genes, on their role during critical windows of brain development and the potential treatments targeting these biological processes. article_processing_charge: Yes (via OA deal) article_type: original author: - first_name: Bernadette full_name: Basilico, Bernadette id: 36035796-5ACA-11E9-A75E-7AF2E5697425 last_name: Basilico orcid: 0000-0003-1843-3173 - first_name: Jasmin full_name: Morandell, Jasmin id: 4739D480-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Morandell - first_name: Gaia full_name: Novarino, Gaia id: 3E57A680-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Novarino orcid: 0000-0002-7673-7178 citation: ama: Basilico B, Morandell J, Novarino G.
