The processing of stress responses involves brain-wide communication among cortical and subcortical regions; however, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we show that the claustrum (CLA) is crucial for the control of stress-induced anxiety-related behaviors. A combined approach using brain activation mapping and machine learning showed that the CLA activation serves as a reliable marker of exposure to acute stressors. In TRAP2 mice, which allow activity-dependent genetic labeling, chemogenetic activation of the CLA neuronal ensemble tagged by acute social defeat stress (DS) elicited anxiety-related behaviors, whereas silencing of the CLA ensemble attenuated DS-induced anxiety-related behaviors. Moreover, the CLA received strong input from DS-activated basolateral amygdala neurons, and its circuit-selective optogenetic photostimulation temporarily elicited anxiety-related behaviors. Last, silencing of the CLA ensemble during stress exposure increased resistance to chronic DS. The CLA thus bidirectionally controls stress-induced emotional responses, and its inactivation can serve as a preventative strategy to increase stress resilience.

Schizophrenia was initially defined as "dementia praecox" by E. Kraepelin, which implies progressive deterioration. However, recent studies have revealed that early effective intervention may lead to social and functional recovery in schizophrenia. In this review, we provide an overview of current concepts in schizophrenia and pathophysiological hypotheses. In addition, we present recent findings from clinical and basic research on schizophrenia. Recent neuroimaging and neurophysiological studies have consistently revealed specific biological differences in the structure and function of the brain in those with schizophrenia. From a basic research perspective, to determine the essential pathophysiology underlying schizophrenia, it is crucial that findings from all lines of inquiry-induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neural cells from patients, murine models expressing genetic mutations identified in patients, and patient clinical data-be integrated to contextualize the analysis results. However, the findings remain insufficient to serve as a diagnostic tool or a biomarker for predicting schizophrenia-related outcomes. Collaborations to conduct clinical research based on the patients' and their families' values are just beginning, and further development is expected. This article is protected by copyright.

Modeling schizophrenia with iPS cell technology and disease mouse models. International journal
Takanobu Nakazawa
Neuroscience research 175 46 - 52 2022.02
Language:English Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal)
Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology, which enables the direct analysis of neuronal cells with the same genetic background as patients, has recently garnered significant attention in schizophrenia research. This technology is important because it enables a comprehensive interpretation using mice and human clinical research and cross-species verification. Here I review recent advances in modeling schizophrenia using iPSC technology, alongside the utility of disease mouse models.

The underlying pathologies of psychiatric disorders, which cause substantial personal and social losses, remain unknown, and their elucidation is an urgent issue. To clarify the core pathological mechanisms underlying psychiatric disorders, in addition to laboratory-based research that incorporates the latest findings, it is necessary to conduct large-sample-size research and verify reproducibility. For this purpose, it is critical to conduct multicenter collaborative research across various fields, such as psychiatry, neuroscience, molecular biology, genomics, neuroimaging, cognitive science, neurophysiology, psychology and pharmacology. Moreover, collaborative research plays an important role in the development of young researchers. In this respect, the Enhancing Neuroimaging Genetics through Meta-Analysis (ENIGMA) consortium and Cognitive Genetics Collaborative Research Organization (COCORO) have played important roles. In this review, we first overview the importance of multicenter collaborative research and our target psychiatric disorders. Then, we introduce research findings on the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders from neurocognitive, neurophysiological, neuroimaging, genetic, and basic neuroscience perspectives, focusing mainly on the findings obtained by COCORO. It is our hope that multicenter collaborative research will contribute to the elucidation of the pathological basis of psychiatric disorders. This article is protected by copyright.

自閉症は、社会的関係等に障害が認められる頻度が高い神経発達障害の1つである。病態の分子メカニズムはほとんど不明であり、多数の患者を説明できる明確な分子病因は同定されていない。本研究では、野生型マウスおよび申請者が独自に開発した妥当性の高いヒト型自閉症モデルマウス群を用いて、単一細胞レベルの解析を実施し、社会行動の制御に関わる神経細胞の機能解析、および社会行動を制御する神経回路の同定および同定した回路の操作の基盤技術を開発することを目的としている。本年度は、POGZ変異マウスにおける社会行動異常の分子メカニズムを明らかにするため、薬理学的な行動実験を実施した。その結果、オキシトシンの投与により、POGZ変異マウスの社会行動異常が回復することが明らかになった(Intranasal oxytocin administration ameliorates social behavioral deficits in a POGZ WT/Q1038R mouse model of autism spectrum disorder, Kitagawa et al., Molecular Brain 2020)。また、POGZ変異マウスではオキシトシン受容体の発現量が低下していることが明らかになった一方で、オキシトシン産生神経細胞には異常がないことが示唆された。さらに、POGZがオキシトシン受容体遺伝子のプロモーターに結合していることを明らかにした。これらの結果は、POGZがオキシトシン受容体の発現制御を通じて、オキシトシンシグナルを調節していることを示唆している。本年度は、POGZ変異マウスの社会行動異常の分子基盤の一端を明らかにすることができた。この成果は、単一細胞レベルの社会行動制御の解析を加速させるものである。
