Establishment of an mRNA vaccine platform in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is important to enhance vaccine accessibility and ensure future pandemic preparedness. Here, we describe the preclinical studies of "ChulaCov19", a SARS-CoV-2 mRNA encoding prefusion-unstabilized ectodomain spike protein encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNP). In female BALB/c mice, ChulaCov19 at 0.2, 1, 10, and 30 μg elicits robust neutralizing antibody (NAb) and T cell responses in a dose-dependent relationship. The geometric mean titers (GMTs) of NAb against wild-type (WT, Wuhan-Hu1) virus are 1,280, 11,762, 54,047, and 62,084, respectively. Higher doses induce better cross-NAb against Delta (B.1.617.2) and Omicron (BA.1 and BA.4/5) variants. This elicited immunogenicity is significantly higher than those induced by homologous CoronaVac or AZD1222 vaccination. In a heterologous prime-boost study, ChulaCov19 booster dose generates a 7-fold increase of NAb against Wuhan-Hu1 WT virus and also significantly increases NAb response against Omicron (BA.1 and BA.4/5) when compared to homologous CoronaVac or AZD1222 vaccination. Challenge studies show that ChulaCov19 protects human-ACE-2-expressing female mice from COVID-19 symptoms, prevents viremia and significantly reduces tissue viral load. Moreover, anamnestic NAb response is undetectable in challenge animals. ChulaCov19 is therefore a promising mRNA vaccine candidate either as a primary or boost vaccination and has entered clinical development.
TRAPing Ghrelin-Activated Circuits: A Novel Tool to Identify, Target and Control Hormone-Responsive Populations in TRAP2 Mice

International journal of molecular sciences

Stoltenborg, I;Peris-Sampedro, F;Schéle, E;Le May, MV;Adan, RAH;Dickson, SL;
PMID: 35008985 | DOI: 10.3390/ijms23010559

The availability of Cre-based mouse lines for visualizing and targeting populations of hormone-sensitive cells has helped identify the neural circuitry driving hormone effects. However, these mice have limitations and may not even be available. For instance, the development of the first ghrelin receptor (Ghsr)-IRES-Cre model paved the way for using the Cre-lox system to identify and selectively manipulate ghrelin-responsive populations. The insertion of the IRES-Cre cassette, however, interfered with Ghsr expression, resulting in defective GHSR signaling and a pronounced phenotype in the homozygotes. As an alternative strategy to target ghrelin-responsive cells, we hereby utilize TRAP2 (targeted recombination in active populations) mice in which it is possible to gain genetic access to ghrelin-activated populations. In TRAP2 mice crossed with a reporter strain, we visualized ghrelin-activated cells and found, as expected, much activation in the arcuate nucleus (Arc). We then stimulated this population using a chemogenetic approach and found that this was sufficient to induce an orexigenic response of similar magnitude to that induced by peripheral ghrelin injection. The stimulation of this population also impacted food choice. Thus, the TRAPing of hormone-activated neurons (here exemplified by ghrelin-activated pathways) provides a complimentary/alternative technique to visualize, access and control discrete pathways, linking hormone action to circuit function.
The Orexigenic Force of Olfactory Palatable Food Cues in Rats

Environmental cues recalling palatable foods motivate eating beyond metabolic need, yet the timing of this response and whether it can develop towards a less palatable but readily available food remain elusive. Increasing evidence indicates that external stimuli in the olfactory modality communicate with the major hub in the feeding neurocircuitry, namely the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (Arc), but the neural substrates involved have been only partially uncovered. By means of a home-cage hidden palatable food paradigm, aiming to mimic ubiquitous exposure to olfactory food cues in Western societies, we investigated whether the latter could drive the overeating of plain chow in non-food-deprived male rats and explored the neural mechanisms involved, including the possible engagement of the orexigenic ghrelin system. The olfactory detection of a familiar, palatable food impacted upon meal patterns, by increasing meal frequency, to cause the persistent overconsumption of chow. In line with the orexigenic response observed, sensing the palatable food in the environment stimulated food-seeking and risk-taking behavior, which are intrinsic components of food acquisition, and caused active ghrelin release. Our results suggest that olfactory food cues recruited intermingled populations of cells embedded within the feeding circuitry within the Arc, including, notably, those containing the ghrelin receptor. These data demonstrate the leverage of ubiquitous food cues, not only for palatable food searching, but also to powerfully drive food consumption in ways that resonate with heightened hunger, for which the orexigenic ghrelin system is implicated.
An integrate-and-fire approach to Ca2+ signaling—The noise of puffs

Biophysical Journal

Stochastic spiking is a prominent feature of Ca2+ signaling. The main noise source at the cellular level are puffs from inositol-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) channel clusters in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). While the random cluster activity has been known for decades, a stringent method to derive the puff noise term acting on the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration is still lacking. We adopt a popular description of neural spike generation from neuroscience, the stochastic integrate-and-fire (IF) model, to describe Ca2+ spiking. Our model consists of two components describing i) activity of IP3R clusters and ii) dynamics of the global Ca2+ concentrations in the cytosol and in the ER. Cluster activity is modeled by a Markov chain, capturing the puff. The global Ca2+ concentrations are described by a two-variable IF model driven by the puff current. For the Markov chain we derive expressions for the statistics of interpuff interval, single-puff strength, and puff current assuming constant cytosolic Ca2+, an assumption often well met because the Ca2+ concentrations vary much slower than the cluster activity does. The latter assumption also allows to approximate the driving Ca2+ dependent puff current by a white Gaussian noise. This approximation results in an IF model with nonlinear drift and multiplicative noise. We consider this reduced model in a renewal version and in a version with cumulative refractoriness. Neglecting ER depletion, the stochastic IF model has only one variable and generates a renewal spike train, a point process with statistically independent interspike intervals (ISI). We derive analytical expressions for the mean and coefficient of variation of the ISI and suggest approximations for the ISI density and spike-train power spectrum. Taking into account ER depletion, the two-variable IF model displays cumulative refractoriness as seen in experimental data.
The endoplasmic reticulum stress-autophagy pathway controls hypothalamic development and energy balance regulation in leptin-deficient neonates

Obesity is associated with the activation of cellular responses, such as endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Here, we show that leptin-deficient ob/ob mice display elevated hypothalamic ER stress as early as postnatal day 10, i.e., prior to the development of obesity in this mouse model. Neonatal treatment of ob/ob mice with the ER stress-relieving drug tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) causes long-term amelioration of body weight, food intake, glucose homeostasis, and pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) projections. Cells exposed to ER stress often activate autophagy. Accordingly, we report that in vitro induction of ER stress and neonatal leptin deficiency in vivo activate hypothalamic autophagy-related genes. Furthermore, genetic deletion of autophagy in pro-opiomelanocortin neurons of ob/ob mice worsens their glucose homeostasis, adiposity, hyperphagia, and POMC neuronal projections, all of which are ameliorated with neonatal TUDCA treatment. Together, our data highlight the importance of early life ER stress-autophagy pathway in influencing hypothalamic circuits and metabolic regulation
Nutrient-sensing AgRP neurons relay control of liver autophagy during energy deprivation

Autophagy represents a key regulator of aging and metabolism in sensing energy deprivation. We find that fasting in mice activates autophagy in the liver paralleled by activation of hypothalamic AgRP neurons. Optogenetic and chemogenetic activation of AgRP neurons induces autophagy, alters phosphorylation of autophagy regulators, and promotes ketogenesis. AgRP neuron-dependent induction of liver autophagy relies on NPY release in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH) via presynaptic inhibition of NPY1R-expressing neurons to activate PVHCRH neurons. Conversely, inhibiting AgRP neurons during energy deprivation abrogates induction of hepatic autophagy and rewiring of metabolism. AgRP neuron activation increases circulating corticosterone concentrations, and reduction of hepatic glucocorticoid receptor expression attenuates AgRP neuron-dependent activation of hepatic autophagy. Collectively, our study reveals a fundamental regulatory principle of liver autophagy in control of metabolic adaptation during nutrient deprivation.

The mutation profile of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron (lineage BA.1) variant posed a concern for naturally acquired and vaccine-induced immunity. We investigated the ability of prior infection with an early SARS-CoV-2 ancestral isolate (Australia/VIC01/2020, VIC01) to protect against disease caused by BA.1. We established that BA.1 infection in naïve Syrian hamsters resulted in a less severe disease than a comparable dose of the ancestral virus, with fewer clinical signs including less weight loss. We present data to show that these clinical observations were almost absent in convalescent hamsters challenged with the same dose of BA.1 50 days after an initial infection with ancestral virus. These data provide evidence that convalescent immunity against ancestral SARS-CoV-2 is protective against BA.1 in the Syrian hamster model of infection. Comparison with published pre-clinical and clinical data supports consistency of the model and its predictive value for the outcome in humans. Further, the ability to detect protection against the less severe disease caused by BA.1 demonstrates continued value of the Syrian hamster model for evaluation of BA.1-specific countermeasures.
Cross-species transcriptomic atlas of dorsal root ganglia reveals species-specific programs for sensory function

Nature communications

Sensory neurons of the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) are critical for maintaining tissue homeostasis by sensing and initiating responses to stimuli. While most preclinical studies of DRGs are conducted in rodents, much less is known about the mechanisms of sensory perception in primates. We generated a transcriptome atlas of mouse, guinea pig, cynomolgus monkey, and human DRGs by implementing a common laboratory workflow and multiple data-integration approaches to generate high-resolution cross-species mappings of sensory neuron subtypes. Using our atlas, we identified conserved core modules highlighting subtype-specific biological processes related to inflammatory response. We also identified divergent expression of key genes involved in DRG function, suggesting species-specific adaptations specifically in nociceptors that likely point to divergent function of nociceptors. Among these, we validated that TAFA4, a member of the druggable genome, was expressed in distinct populations of DRG neurons across species, highlighting species-specific programs that are critical for therapeutic development.
Protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor δ serves as the orexigenic asprosin receptor

Asprosin is a fasting-induced glucogenic and centrally acting orexigenic hormone. The olfactory receptor Olfr734 is known to be the hepatic receptor for asprosin that mediates its effects on glucose production, but the receptor for asprosin's orexigenic function has been unclear. Here, we have identified protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor δ (Ptprd) as the orexigenic receptor for asprosin. Asprosin functions as a high-affinity Ptprd ligand in hypothalamic AgRP neurons, regulating the activity of this circuit in a cell-autonomous manner. Genetic ablation of Ptprd results in a strong loss of appetite, leanness, and an inability to respond to the orexigenic effects of asprosin. Ablation of Ptprd specifically in AgRP neurons causes resistance to diet-induced obesity. Introduction of the soluble Ptprd ligand-binding domain in the circulation of mice suppresses appetite and blood glucose levels by sequestering plasma asprosin. Identification of Ptprd as the orexigenic asprosin receptor creates a new avenue for the development of anti-obesity therapeutics.
Cardiometabolic Consequences of Deleting the Regulator of G protein Signaling-2 (Rgs2) From Cells Expressing Agouti-Related Peptide or the ANG (Angiotensin) II Type 1A Receptor in Mice

RGS (regulator of G protein signaling) family members catalyze the termination of G protein signaling cascades. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the RGS2 gene in humans have been linked to hypertension, preeclampsia, and anxiety disorders. Mice deficient for Rgs2 (Rgs2Null) exhibit hypertension, anxiety, and altered adipose development and function.To study cell-specific functions of RGS2, a novel gene-targeted mouse harboring a conditional allele for the Rgs2 gene (Rgs2Flox) was developed. These mice were bred with mice expressing Cre-recombinase via the Agouti-related peptide locus (Agrp-Cre) to cause deletion of Rgs2 from all cells expressing Agrp (Rgs2Agrp-KO), or a novel transgenic mouse expressing Cre-recombinase via the ANG (angiotensin) type 1A receptor (Agtr1a/ AT1A) promoter encoded in a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC-AT1A-Cre) to delete Rgs2 in all Agtr1a-expressing cells (Rgs2AT1A-KO).Whereas Rgs2Flox, Rgs2Agrp-KO, and BAC-AT1A-Cre mice exhibited normal growth and survival, Rgs2AT1A-KO exhibited pre-weaning lethality. Relative to littermates, Rgs2Agrp-KO exhibited reduced fat gains when maintained on a high fat diet, associated with increased energy expenditure. Similarly, surviving adult Rgs2AT1A-KO mice also exhibited increased energy expenditure. Surprisingly, given the hypertensive phenotype previously reported for Rgs2Null mice and evidence supporting a role for RGS2 in terminating AT1A signaling in various cell types, Rgs2AT1A-KO mice exhibited normal blood pressure, ingestive behaviors, and renal functions, both before and after chronic infusion of ANG (490 ng/kg/min, sc).These results demonstrate the development of a novel mouse with conditional expression of Rgs2 and illustrate the role of Rgs2 within selected cell types for cardiometabolic control.
Near-Perfect Synaptic Integration by Nav1.7 in Hypothalamic Neurons Regulates Body Weight.

Neurons are well suited for computations on millisecond timescales, but some neuronal circuits set behavioral states over long time periods, such as those involved in energy homeostasis. We found that multiple types of hypothalamic neurons, including those that oppositely regulate body weight, are specialized as near-perfect synaptic integrators that summate inputs over extended timescales. Excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) are greatly prolonged, outlasting the neuronal membrane time-constant up to 10-fold. This is due to the voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.7 (Scn9a), previously associated with pain-sensation but not synaptic integration. Scn9a deletion in AGRP, POMC, or paraventricular hypothalamic neurons reduced EPSP duration, synaptic integration, and altered body weight in mice. In vivo whole-cell recordings in the hypothalamus confirmed near-perfect synaptic integration. These experiments show that integration of synaptic inputs over time by Nav1.7 is critical for body weight regulation and reveal a mechanism for synaptic control of circuits regulating long term homeostatic functions.

The Golden Syrian hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) is now commonly used in preclinical research for the study of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and the assessment of vaccines, drugs and therapeutics. Here we show that hamsters inoculated via the intranasal route with the same infectious virus dose of prototypical SARS-CoV-2 administered in a different volume present with different clinical signs, weight loss and viral shedding, with a reduced volume resulting in reduced severity of disease similar to that obtained by a 500-fold reduction in challenge dose. The tissue burden of virus and the severity of pulmonary pathology were also significantly affected by different challenge inoculum volumes. These findings suggest that direct comparison between the severity of SARS-CoV-2 variants or studies assessing the efficacy of treatments determined by hamster studies cannot be made unless both the challenge dose and inoculation volume are matched when using the intranasal route. Additionally, analysis of sub-genomic and total genomic RNA PCR data demonstrated no link between sub-genomic and live viral titres and that sub-genomic analyses do not provide any information beyond that provided by more sensitive total genomic PCR.
