    Abstract Sensory experience influences proliferation and differentiation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs). Enhanced sensorimotor experience promoted the lineage progression of OPCs and myelination in the gray matter and white matter (WM) of sensorimotor cortex. In the visual cortex, reduced experience reportedly delayed the maturation of myelination in the gray matter, but whether and how such experience alters the subcortical WM is unclear. Here we investigated if binocular enucleation from the onset of eye opening (i.e., P15) affects the cell state of OPCs in mouse primary visual cortex (V1). Proliferative cells in the WM declined nearly half over 3 days from postnatal day (P) 25. A 3-day BrdU-labeling showed gradual decline in proliferation rates from P19 to P28. Binocular enucleation resulted in an increase in the cycling state of the OPCs that were proliferated from P22 to P25 but not before or after this period. This increase in proliferative OPCs was not associated with lineage progression toward differentiated oligodendrocytes. Proliferative OPCs arose mostly due to symmetric cell division but also asymmetric formation of proliferative and quiescent OPCs. By P30, almost all the proliferated cells exited the cell cycle. Maturing oligodendrocytes among the proliferated cells increased at this age, but most of them disappeared over 25 days. The cell density of the maturing oligodendrocytes was unaffected by binocular enucleation, however. These data suggest that binocular enucleation transiently elevates proliferative OPCs in the subcortical WM of V1 during a specific period of the fourth postnatal week without subsequently affecting the number of maturing oligodendrocytes several days later.

    Abstract Sensory experience modulates proliferation, differentiation, and migration of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs). In the mouse primary visual cortex (V1), visual deprivation-dependent modulation of OPCs has not been demonstrated. Here, we demonstrate that undifferentiated OPCs developmentally peaked around postnatal day (P) 25, and binocular enucleation (BE) from the time of eye opening (P14-15) elevated symmetrically-divided undifferentiated OPCs in a reversible G0/G1 state even more at the bottom lamina of the cortex by reducing maturing oligodendrocyte (OL) lineage cells. Experiments using the sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling inhibitor cyclopamine in vivo suggested that Shh signaling pathway was involved in the BE-induced undifferentiation process. The undifferentiated OPCs then differentiated within 5 days, independent of the experience, becoming mostly quiescent cells in control mice, while altering the mode of sister cell symmetry and forming quiescent as well as maturing cells in the enucleated mice. At P50, BE increased mature OLs via symmetric and asymmetric modes of cell segregation, resulting in more populated mature OLs at the bottom layer of the cortex. These data suggest that fourth postnatal week, corresponding to the early critical period of ocular dominance plasticity, is a developmentally sensitive period for OPC state changes. Overall, the visual loss promoted undifferentiation at the early period, but later increased the formation of mature OLs via a change in the mode of cell type symmetry at the bottom layer of mouse V1.

    Abstract Systemic nicotine administration regulates neuronal activities in mouse auditory cortex. How nicotine regulates the spread of the activities across auditory cortical areas is not well known. We investigate this using flavoprotein fluorescence imaging. 20 kHz amplitude-modulated (AM) tones increased the peak intensity of flavoprotein fluorescence in presumptive primary auditory cortex (A1). 5 kHz AM tones activated at least three cortical areas, which are presumably A1, anterior auditory field, and secondary auditory cortex. Nicotine enlarged tone-activated cortical areas and enhanced both 20 kHz and 5 kHz tone-evoked fluorescence intensities at their respective, optimal frequency peak sites and at non-optimal frequency peak sites in A1. The extent of this enhancement was greater at non-optimal frequency sites than at optimal frequency sites. A cortical injection of dihydro-β-erythroidine, an inhibitor of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors composed of α4 and β2-subunits (α4β2*-nAChRs), blocked the enhancement of fluorescence intensity at the peak sites but did not appear to block the enlargement of activated areas. These results suggest that nicotine exposure activates cortical α4β2*-nAChRs to enhance tone-evoked local neuronal activities at an optimal frequency site. The nicotine-induced enlargement of a tone-activated area may depend on the nicotinic enhancement of cortical inputs or other activities.

    Abstract Laminar architecture of primary auditory cortex (A1) has long been investigated by traditional histochemical techniques such as Nissl staining, retrograde and anterograde tracings. Uncertainty still remains, however, about laminar boundaries in mice. Here we investigated the cortical lamina structure by combining neuronal tracing and immunofluorochemistry for laminar specific markers. Most retrogradely labeled corticothalamic neurons expressed Forkhead box protein P2 (Foxp2) and distributed within the laminar band of Foxp2-expressing cells, identifying layer 6. Cut-like homeobox 1 (Cux1) expression in layer 2-4 neurons divided the upper layers into low expression layers 2/3 and high expression layers 3/4, which overlapped with the dense terminals of vesicular glutamate transporter 2 (vGluT2) and anterogradely labeled lemniscal thalamocortical axons. In layer 5, between Cux1-expressing layers 2-4 and Foxp2-defined layer 6, retrogradely labeled corticocollicular projection neurons mostly expressed COUP-TF interacting protein 2 (Ctip2). Ctip2-expressing neurons formed a laminar band in the middle of layer 5 distant from layer 6, creating a laminar gap between the two laminas. This gap contained a high population of commissural neurons projecting to contralateral A1 compared to other layers and received vGluT2-immunopositive, presumptive thalamocortical axon collateral inputs. Our study shows that layer 5 is much wider than layer 6, and layer 5 can be divided into at least three sublayers. The thalamorecipient layers 3/4 may be separated from layers 2/3 using Cux1 and can be also divided into layer 4 and layer 3 based on the neuronal soma size. These data provide a new insight for the laminar structure of mouse A1.

    Abstract Proper formation of laminar structures in sensory cortexes is critical for sensory information processing. Previous studies suggested that the timing of neuronal migration and the laminar position of cortical neurons differ among sensory cortexes. How they differ during postnatal development has not been systematically investigated. Here, identifying laminas using transcription factors, we examined postnatal changes in neuronal density and distribution in presumptive primary auditory (ACx), visual (VCx), and somatosensory cortexes (SCx) in a strain of mice using immunofluorescence techniques. Development of laminar thickness and its cortical proportion differed among the sensory cortexes. Layers 2-4 defined by Cut-like homeobox 1 (Cux1)-expressing neurons were narrower, and layer 5 was wider in ACx compared to those in VCx or SCx, while Forkhead-box protein P2 (Foxp2)-defined layer 6 was wider in SCx than the other two sensory cortexes throughout postnatal development. Meanwhile, thalamocortical input layers identified by Cux1-expressing neurons formed later in ACx than in the other two cortical regions. The cell densities of ETS-related protein 81-expressing neurons increased in both lower and upper layers but at distinct timing, while those of COUP-TF-interacting protein 2 expressing neurons in the lower layers changed bidirectionally (i.e., increased or decreased) both in layer- and cortical region-specific manners. Foxp2-expressing cells in layer 6 distributed differently and declined at different timing among the sensory cortexes. Overall, we demonstrate that the maturational timing of lamina differs among the sensory cortexes and that postnatal age-dependent changes in neuronal distribution are unique to each of the sensory cortexes.

    Abstract Hepatitis B, a viral infection that affects the liver, is thought to affect over 257 million people worldwide, and long-term infection can lead to life-threatening issues such as cirrhosis or liver cancer. Chronic hepatitis B develops by the interaction between hepatitis B virus (HBV) and host immune response. However, questions of how HBV-infected cells thwart immune system defenses remain unanswered. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are used for cellular communication, carrying cargoes such as RNAs, proteins, and lipids and delivering them intracellularly after being endocytosed by target cells. HBV-infected liver cells secrete several types of EVs into body fluids such as complete and incomplete virions, and exosomes. We previously demonstrated that monocytes that incorporated EVs moved to immunoregulatory phenotypes via up-regulation of PD-L1, an immunocheckpoint molecule, and down-regulation of CD69, a leukocyte activation molecule. In this study, we transfected mice with HBV using hydrodynamic injection and studied the effects of EVs secreted by HBV-infected liver cells. EVs secreted from cells with HBV replication strongly suppressed the immune response, inhibiting the eradication of HBV-replicating cells in the mice transfected with HBV. EVs were systemically incorporated in multiple organs, including liver, bone marrow (BM), and intestine. Intriguingly, the BM cells that incorporated EVs acquired intestinal tropism and the dendritic cell populations in the intestine increased. These findings suggest that the EVs secreted by HBV-infected liver cells exert immunosuppressive functions, and that an association between the liver, bone marrow, and intestinal tract exists through EVs secreted from HBV-infected cells.
