Surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 at the Huanan Seafood Market.

SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19, emerged in December 2019. Its origins remain uncertain. It has been reported that a number of the early human cases had a history of contact with the Huanan Seafood Market. Here we present the results of surveillance for SARS-CoV-2 within the market. From January 1st 2020, after closure of the market, 923 samples were collected from the environment. From 18th January, 457 samples were collected from 18 species of animals, comprising of unsold contents of refrigerators and freezers, swabs from stray animals, and the contents of a fish tank. Using RT-qPCR, SARS-CoV-2 was detected in 73 environmental samples, but none of the animal samples. Three live viruses were successfully isolated. The viruses from the market shared nucleotide identity of 99.99% to 100% with the human isolate HCoV-19/Wuhan/IVDC-HB-01/2019. SARS-CoV-2 lineage A (8782T and 28144C) was found in an environmental sample. RNA-seq analysis of SARS-CoV-2 positive and negative environmental samples showed an abundance of different vertebrate genera at the market. In summary, this study provides information about the distribution and prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in the Huanan Seafood Market during the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Interplay between DISC1 and GABA signaling regulates neurogenesis in mice and risk for schizophrenia.

How extrinsic stimuli and intrinsic factors interact to regulate continuous neurogenesis in the postnatal mammalian brain is unknown. Here we show that regulation of dendritic development of newborn neurons by Disrupted-in-Schizophrenia 1 (DISC1) during adult hippocampal neurogenesis requires neurotransmitter GABA-induced, NKCC1-dependent depolarization through a convergence onto the AKT-mTOR pathway. In contrast, DISC1 fails to modulate early-postnatal hippocampal neurogenesis when conversion of GABA-induced depolarization to hyperpolarization is accelerated. Extending the period of GABA-induced depolarization or maternal deprivation stress restores DISC1-dependent dendritic regulation through mTOR pathway during early-postnatal hippocampal neurogenesis. Furthermore, DISC1 and NKCC1 interact epistatically to affect risk for schizophrenia in two independent case control studies. Our study uncovers an interplay between intrinsic DISC1 and extrinsic GABA signaling, two schizophrenia susceptibility pathways, in controlling neurogenesis and suggests critical roles of developmental tempo and experience in manifesting the impact of susceptibility genes on neuronal development and risk for mental disorders.

Hypothalamic Supramammillary Control of Cognition and Motivation.

The supramammillary nucleus (SuM) is a small region in the ventromedial posterior hypothalamus. The SuM has been relatively understudied with much of the prior focus being on its connection with septo-hippocampal circuitry. Thus, most studies conducted until the 21st century examined its role in hippocampal processes, such as theta rhythm and learning/memory. In recent years, the SuM has been "rediscovered" as a crucial hub for several behavioral and cognitive processes, including reward-seeking, exploration, and social memory. Additionally, it has been shown to play significant roles in hippocampal plasticity and adult neurogenesis. This review highlights findings from recent studies using cutting-edge systems neuroscience tools that have shed light on these fascinating roles for the SuM.

The dysfunction of CD8+ T cells triggered by endometriotic stromal cells promotes the immune survival of endometriosis.

Endometriosis is defined as an oestrogen-dependent and inflammatory gynaecological disease of which the pathogenesis remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the cellular heterogeneity and reveal the effect of CD8+ T cells on the progress of endometriosis. Three ovarian endometriosis patients were collected, and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) progressed and delineated the cellular landscape of endometriosis containing five cell clusters. The endometrial cells (EMCs) were the major component, of which the mesenchymal cells were preponderant and characterized with increased inflammation and oestrogen synthesis in endometriosis. The proportion of T cells, mainly CD8+ T cells rather than CD4+, was reduced in endometriotic lesions, and the cytokines and cytotoxicity of ectopic T cells were depressed. CD8+ T cells depressed the proliferation of ESCs through inhibiting CDK1/CCNB1 pathway to arrest the cell cycle and triggered inflammation through activating STAT1 pathway. Correspondingly, the coculture with ESCs resulted in the dysfunction of CD8+ T cells through upregulating STAT1/PDCD1 pathway and glycolysis-promoted metabolism reprogramming. The endometriotic lesions were larger in nude mouse models with T-cell deficiency than the normal mouse models. The inhibition of T cells via CD90.2 or CD8A antibody increased the endometriotic lesions in mouse models, and the supplement of T cells to nude mouse models diminished the lesion sizes. In conclusion, this study revealed the global cellular variation of endometriosis among which the cellular count and physiology of EMCs and T cells were significantly changed. The depressed cytotoxicity and aberrant metabolism of CD8+ T cells were induced by ESCs with the activation of STAT1/PDCD1 pathway resulting in immune survival to promote endometriosis.

Homozygous pathogenic variants in ACTL9 cause fertilization failure and male infertility in humans and mice.

Total fertilization failure (TFF) can occur during in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments, even following intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Various male or female factors could contribute to TFF. Increasing evidence suggested that genetic variations in PLCZ1, which encodes 1-phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate phosphodiesterase zeta-1 (PLCζ), is involved in oocyte activation and is a key male factor in TFF. In the present study, we explored the genetic variants in male individuals that led to TFF. A total of 54 couples with TFF or poor fertilization (fertilization rate < 20%) were screened, and 21 couples were determined to have a male infertility factor by the mouse oocyte activation test. Whole-exome sequencing of these 21 male individuals identified three homozygous pathogenic variants in ACTL9 (actin like 9) in three individuals. ACTL9 variations led to abnormal ultrastructure of the perinuclear theca (PT), and PLCζ was absent in the head and present in the neck of the mutant sperm, which contributed to failed normal calcium oscillations in oocytes and subsequent TFF. The key roles of ACTL9 in the PT structure and TFF after ICSI were further confirmed in an Actl9-mutated mouse model. Furthermore, assisted oocyte activation by calcium ionophore exposure successfully overcame TFF and achieved live births in a couple with an ACTL9 variant. These findings identified the role of ACTL9 in the PT structure and the correct localization of PLCζ. The results also provide a genetic marker and a therapeutic option for individuals who have undergone ICSI without successful fertilization.

Bridging Ionic Current Rectification and Resistive-Pulse Sensing for Reliable Wide-Linearity Detection.

As two mainstream ionic detection techniques, ionic current rectification (ICR) suffers from large fluctuations in trace level detection, while resistive-pulse sensing (RPS) encounters easy clogs in high-concentration detection. By rationally matching the nanopore size with the DNA tetrahedron (TDN), this work bridges the two techniques to achieve reliable detection with wide linearity. As a representative analyte, miRNA-10b could specifically combine with and release TDN from the interior wall, which thus induced the simultaneous generation of distinct ICR and RPS signals. The ICR signals could be attributed to the balance between the effective orifice and surface charge density of the inner wall, while the RPS signals were induced by the complex of miRNA-10b and TDN passing through the nanopore. Such an operation contributed to a wide detection range of 1 fM-1 nM with a good linearity. The feasibility of this method is also validated in single-cell and real plasma detection.

Multiplex Detection of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms by Liquid Chromatography for Nonsmall Cell Lung Cancer Staging.

In this work, an integrated strategy with excellent accuracy and high throughput is proposed for the precise indication of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in nonsmall cell lung cancer diseases. Two types of point mutations (L858R and T790M) and the corresponding wild types could be identified together in a single high-performance liquid chromatographic run. Signal amplification was achieved through a series of enzyme ligation, primer extension, and enzyme cleavage strategies, and a large number of DNA probes with different fluorescence signals were finally generated. The factors affecting the spatiotemporal separation efficiency of four DNA probes were systematically investigated. The limits of detection of wild types (WTs) or mutant types (MTs) abbreviated as L858R-MT, L858R-WT, T790M-MT, and T790M-WT were 26, 24, 19, and 22 aM, respectively. In addition, the levels of mutant types and wild types in the serum of 40 nonsmall cell lung cancer patients at different stages were detected using the method, and the correlation between the mutation ratios and cancer stages was preliminarily verified. The proposed highly selective and sensitive method may serve as an alternative approach for early diagnosis and staging of nonsmall cell lung cancer.

Femtosecond laser one-step direct-writing high quality volume Bragg grating.

Volume Bragg grating is one-step fabricated with femtosecond laser direct-writing technology inside a high nonlinearity chalcogenide glass of As2S3. As the generated femtosecond laser filamentation effect could combined with the cylindrical lens focusing method, a two-dimensional refractive index change interface could spontaneously grow along the incident direction with either the laser pulse energy or number increasing. A number of two-dimensional refractive index change interfaces are periodically arranged to stack into a volume Bragg grating. Through periodically moving the sample stage, a grating of 2 mm × 2 mm × 1.7 mm can be fabricated in 15 minutes. And the maximum diffraction efficiency of grating reached 95.49% under the optimal parameters. This study provides a new processing strategy for femtosecond laser direct-writing volume Bragg grating with high processing efficiency and excellent structural performance.

Total Synthesis of (±)-Simonsol C.

Total synthesis of simonsol C has been achieved, focusing on the postdearomatization transformations. Our methodology integrates an efficient combination of dearomatization and Zn/AcOH reduction to introduce an allyl group, followed by oxo-Michael addition, to construct the 6/5/6 benzofuran skeleton. It offers a novel method for synthesizing allyl-containing quaternary carbon atoms in a straightforward manner.

Transplanted MSCs promote alveolar bone repair via hypoxia-induced extracellular vesicle secretion.

OBJECT: Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy is a potential strategy for promoting alveolar bone regeneration. This study evaluated the effects and mechanisms of transplanted MSCs on alveolar bone repair. METHODS: Mouse alveolar bone defect model was treated using mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) transplantation. The bone repair was evaluated by micro-CT and Masson staining. The conditioned medium of hypoxia-treated BMSCs was co-cultured with normal BMSCs in vitro to detect the regulatory effect of transplanted MSCs on the chemotactic and migratory functions of host cells. The mechanisms were investigated using Becn siRNA transfection and western blotting. RESULTS: BMSC transplantation promoted bone defect regeneration. The hypoxic microenvironment induces BMSCs to release multiple extracellular vesicle (EV)-mediated regulatory proteins that promote the migration of host stem cells. Protein array analysis, western blotting, GFP-LC3 detection, and Becn siRNA transfection confirmed that autophagy activation in BMSCs plays a key role during this process. CONCLUSION: The local hypoxic microenvironment induces transplanted MSCs to secrete a large number of EV-mediated regulatory proteins, thereby upregulating the migration function of the host stem cells and promoting alveolar bone defect regeneration. This process depends on the autophagy-related mechanism of the transplanted MSCs.

Phase-related differences in egg production of the migratory locust regulated by differential oosorption through microRNA-34 targeting activinß.

Outbreaks of locust plagues result from the long-term accumulation of high-density egg production. The migratory locust, Locusta migratoria, displays dramatic differences in the egg-laid number with dependence on population density, while solitarious locusts lay more eggs compared to gregarious ones. However, the regulatory mechanism for the egg-laid number difference is unclear. Herein, we confirm that oosorption plays a crucial role in the regulation of egg number through the comparison of physiological and molecular biological profiles in gregarious and solitarious locusts. We find that gregarious oocytes display a 15% higher oosorption ratio than solitarious ones. Activinß (Actß) is the most highly upregulated gene in the gregarious terminal oocyte (GTO) compared to solitarious terminal oocyte (STO). Meanwhile, Actß increases sharply from the normal oocyte (N) to resorption body 1 (RB1) stage during oosorption. The knockdown of Actß significantly reduces the oosorption ratio by 13% in gregarious locusts, resulting in an increase in the egg-laid number. Based on bioinformatic prediction and experimental verification, microRNA-34 with three isoforms can target Actß. The microRNAs display higher expression levels in STO than those in GTO and contrasting expression patterns of Actß from the N to RB1 transition. Overexpression of each miR-34 isoform leads to decreased Actß levels and significantly reduces the oosorption ratio in gregarious locusts. In contrast, inhibition of the miR-34 isoforms results in increased Actß levels and eventually elevates the oosorption ratio of solitarious locusts. Our study reports an undescribed mechanism of oosorption through miRNA targeting of a TGFß ligand and provides new insights into the mechanism of density-dependent reproductive adaption in insects.

θ-Nanopipette for Single-Cell Resistive-Pulse Profiling of DNA Repair Proteins Accompanied by Drug Evaluation.

Single-cell analysis of the DNA repair protein is important but remains unachieved. Exploration of nanopipettte technologies in single-cell electroanalysis has recently seen rapid growth, while the θ-nanopipette represents an emerging technological frontier with its potential largely veiled. Here a θ-nanopipette is first applied for single-cell resistive-pulse sensing (RPS) of the important DNA repair protein O6-alkylguanine DNA alkyltransferase (hAGT). The removal of alkyl mutations by hAGT could restore the damaged aptamer linking with a structural DNA carrier, allowing the selective binding of the aptamer to thrombin with precisely matched size to produce distinct RPS signals when passing through the orifice. Kinetic analysis of hAGT repair was studied. Meanwhile, the device shows the simultaneous on-demand infusion of inhibitors to inactivate the hAGT activity, indicative of its potential in drug screening for enhanced chemotherapy. This work provides a new paradigm for θ-nanopipette-based single-cell RPS of a DNA repair protein accompanied by drug evaluation.

Effects of Torulaspora delbrueckii and Saccharomyces cerevisiae Co-Fermentation on the Physicochemical and Flavor Compounds of Huaniu Apple Cider.

The effects of different fermentation methods utilizing Torulaspora delbrueckii 1004 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae 32169 on the physicochemical properties, organic acid content, polyphenol and flavonoid concentrations, antioxidant activity, and volatile aroma compounds of Huaniu apple cider were investigated in this study. Employing methods of single inoculation, co-inoculation, and sequential inoculation, it was found that sequential fermentation exhibited strong fermentative power in the initial stages, effectively reducing the content of soluble solids and achieving a balanced composition of malic, succinic, and citric acids while maintaining a lower titratable acidity. Sequential inoculation was observed to significantly enhance the total polyphenols and flavonoids, as well as the antioxidant capacity (p < 0.05). Specifically, in the synthesis of volatile aroma compounds, sequential inoculation significantly enhanced the richness and diversity of the Huaniu apple cider's aromas, particularly in terms of the concentration of ester compounds (p < 0.05). Principal component analysis further confirmed the superiority of sequential inoculation in terms of aroma component diversity and richness. The findings of this study suggest that sequential inoculation of fermentation with non-Saccharomyces and S. cerevisiae is an effective strategy for optimizing the flavor characteristics of Huaniu apple cider, offering valuable theoretical support and practical guidance for enhancing cider quality and fostering the development of new products.

Oral appliance therapy vs. positional therapy for managing positional obstructive sleep apnea; a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized control trials.

AIM: To assess the efficacy of positional therapy and oral appliance therapy for the management of positional obstructive sleep apnea. METHODS: We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, and SCOPUS for relevant clinical trials. Quality assessment of the included trials was evaluated according to Cochrane's risk of bias tool. We included the following outcomes: The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), AHI non-supine, AHI supine, sleep efficiency, percentage of supine sleep, Adherence (≥ 4 h/night, ≥ 5 days/week), Oxygen desaturation Index, Arousal Index, Epworth Sleepiness Scale score (ESS), Mean SpO2, and Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire. RESULTS: The AHI non-supine and the ESS scores were significantly lower in the OAT cohort than in the PT cohort. The PT cohort was associated with a significantly decreased percentage of supine sleep than the OAT cohort (MD= -26.07 [-33.15, -19.00], P = 0.0001). There was no significant variation between PT cohort and OAT cohort regarding total AHI, AHI supine, ODI, sleep efficiency, arousal index, FOSQ, adherence, and mean SpO2. CONCLUSION: Both Positional Therapy and Oral Appliance Therapy effectively addressed Obstructive Sleep Apnea. However, Oral Appliance Therapy exhibited higher efficiency, leading to increased supine sleep percentage and more significant reductions in the Apnea Hypopnea Index during non-supine positions, as well as lower scores on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale.

[Effects of α1-antitrypsin on motor function in mice with immature brain white matter injury]. / α1-æŠ—èƒ°è›‹ç™½é ¶å¯¹æœªæˆç†Ÿè„‘ç™½è´¨æŸä¼¤å°é¼ è¿åŠ¨åŠŸèƒ½çš„å½±å“.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effects of α1-antitrypsin (AAT) on motor function in adult mice with immature brain white matter injury. METHODS: Five-day-old C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned to the sham surgery group (n=27), hypoxia-ischemia (HI) + saline group (n=27), and HI+AAT group (n=27). The HI white matter injury mouse model was established using HI methods. The HI+AAT group received intraperitoneal injections of AAT (50 mg/kg) 24 hours before HI, immediately after HI, and 72 hours after HI; the HI+saline group received intraperitoneal injections of the same volume of saline at the corresponding time points. Brain T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging scans were performed at 7 and 55 days after modeling. At 2 months of age, adult mice were evaluated for static, dynamic, and coordination parameters using the Catwalk gait analysis system. RESULTS: Compared to the sham surgery group, mice with HI injury showed high signal intensity on brain T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging at 7 days after modeling, indicating significant white matter injury. The white matter injury persisted at 55 days after modeling. In comparison to the sham surgery group, the HI+saline group exhibited decreased paw print area, maximum contact area, average pressure, maximum pressure, paw print width, average velocity, body velocity, stride length, swing speed, percentage of gait pattern AA, and percentage of inter-limb coordination (left hind paw → left front paw) (P<0.05). The HI+saline group showed increased inter-paw distance, percentage of gait pattern AB, and percentage of phase lag (left front paw → left hind paw) compared to the sham surgery group (P<0.05). In comparison to the HI+saline group, the HI+AAT group showed increased average velocity, body velocity, stride length, and swing speed (right front paw) (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The mice with immature brain white matter injury may exhibit significant motor dysfunction in adulthood, while the use of AAT can improve some aspects of their motor function.

DNA-Programed Plasmon Rulers Decrypt Single-Receptor Dimerization on Cell Membrane.

Decrypting the dynamics of receptor dimerization on cell membranes bears great importance in identifying the mechanisms regulating diverse cellular activities. In this regard, long-term monitoring of single-molecule behavior during receptor dimerization allows deepening insight into the dimerization process and tracking of the behavior of individual receptors, yet this remains to be realized. Herein, real-time observation of the receptor tyrosine kinases family (RTKs) at single-molecule level based on plasmon rulers was achieved for the first time, which enabled precise regulation and dynamic monitoring of the dimerization process by DNA programming with excellent photostability. Additionally, those nanoprobes demonstrated substantial application in the regulation of RTKs protein dimerization/phosphorylation and activation of downstream signaling pathways. The proposed nanoprobes hold considerable potential for elucidating the molecular mechanisms of single-receptor dimerization as well as the conformational transitions upon dimerization, providing a new paradigm for the precise manipulation and monitoring of specific single-receptor crosslink events in biological systems.

Biogenic Solution Map Based on the Definition of the Metabolic Correlation Distance between 4-Dimensional Fingerprints.

Accurate discrimination and classification of unknown species are the basis to predict its characteristics or applications to make correct decisions. However, for biogenic solutions that are ubiquitous in nature and our daily lives, direct determination of their similarities and disparities by their molecular compositions remains a scientific challenge. Here, we explore a standard and visualizable ontology, termed "biogenic solution map", that organizes multifarious classes of biogenic solutions into a map of hierarchical structures. To build the map, a novel 4-dimensional (4D) fingerprinting method based on data-independent acquisition data sets of untargeted metabolomics is developed, enabling accurate characterization of complex biogenic solutions. A generic parameter of metabolic correlation distance, calculated based on averaged similarities between 4D fingerprints of sample groups, is able to define "species", "genus", and "family" of each solution in the map. With the help of the "biogenic solution map", species of unknown biogenic solutions can be explicitly defined. Simultaneously, intrinsic correlations and subtle variations among biogenic solutions in the map are accurately illustrated. Moreover, it is worth mentioning that samples of the same analyte but prepared by alternative protocols may have significantly different metabolic compositions and could be classified into different "genera".

Contrast-enhanced US to Improve Diagnostic Performance of O-RADS US Risk Stratification System for Malignancy.

Background The Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) has limited specificity for malignancy. Contrast-enhanced US can help distinguish malignant from benign lesions, but its added value to O-RADS has not yet been assessed. Purpose To establish a diagnostic model combining O-RADS and contrast-enhanced US and to validate whether O-RADS plus contrast-enhanced US has a better diagnostic performance than O-RADS alone. Materials and Methods This prospective study included participants from May 2018 to March 2021 who underwent contrast-enhanced US before surgery and had lesions categorized as O-RADS 3, 4, or 5 by US, with a histopathologic reference standard. From April 2021 to July 2022, participants with pathologically confirmed ovarian-adnexal lesions were recruited for the validation group. In the pilot group, the initial enhancement time and enhancement intensity in comparison with the uterine myometrium, contrast agent distribution pattern, and dynamic changes in enhancement of lesions were assessed. Contrast-enhanced US features were used to calculate contrast-enhanced US scores for benign (score ≤2) and malignant (score ≥4) lesions. Lesions were then re-rated according to O-RADS category plus contrast-enhanced US scores. Receiver operating characteristic curves were constructed and compared using the DeLong method. The combined system was validated in an independent group. Results The pilot group included 76 women (mean age, 44 years ± 13 [SD]), and the validation group included 46 women (mean age, 42 years ± 14). Differences in initial enhancement time (P < .001), enhancement intensity (P < .001), and dynamic changes in enhancement (P < .001) between benign and malignant lesions were observed in the pilot group. Contrast-enhanced US scores were calculated using these features. The O-RADS risk stratification was upgraded one level for contrast-enhanced US scores of 4 or more and downgraded one level for contrast-enhanced US scores of 2 or less. In the validation group, the diagnostic performance of O-RADS plus contrast-enhanced US score was higher (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUC] = 0.93) than O-RADS (AUC = 0.71, P < .001). Conclusion Contrast-enhanced US improved the diagnostic performance for malignancy of the O-RADS categories 3-5. © RSNA, 2023 Supplemental material is available for this article.

A Cascade Nanoreactor of Metal-Protein-Polyphenol Capsule for Oxygen-Mediated Synergistic Tumor Starvation and Chemodynamic Therapy.

Starvation therapy kills tumor cells via consuming glucose to cut off their energy supply. However, since glucose oxidase (GOx)-mediated glycolysis is oxygen-dependent, the cascade reaction based on GOx faces the challenge of a hypoxic tumor microenvironment. By decomposition of glycolysis production of H2 O2 into O2 , starvation therapy can be enhanced, but chemodynamic therapy is limited. Here, a close-loop strategy for on demand H2 O2 and O2 delivery, release, and recycling is proposed. The nanoreactor (metal-protein-polyphenol capsule) is designed by incorporating two native proteins, GOx and hemoglobin (Hb), in polyphenol networks with zeolitic imidazolate framework as sacrificial templates. Glycolysis occurs in the presence of GOx with O2 consumption and the produced H2 O2 reacts with Hb to produce highly cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and methemoglobin (MHb) (Fenton reaction). Benefiting from the different oxygen carrying capacities of Hb and MHb, oxygen on Hb is rapidly released to supplement its consumption during glycolysis. Glycolysis and Fenton reactions are mutually reinforced by oxygen supply, consuming more glucose and producing more hydroxyl radicals and ultimately enhancing both starvation therapy and chemodynamic therapy. This cascade nanoreactor exhibits high efficiency for tumor suppression and provides an effective strategy for oxygen-mediated synergistic starvation therapy and chemodynamic therapy.

Compensatory remodeling of a septo-hippocampal GABAergic network in the triple transgenic Alzheimer's mouse model.

BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by a progressive loss of memory that cannot be efficiently managed by currently available AD therapeutics. So far, most treatments for AD that have the potential to improve memory target neural circuits to protect their integrity. However, the vulnerable neural circuits and their dynamic remodeling during AD progression remain largely undefined. METHODS: Circuit-based approaches, including anterograde and retrograde tracing, slice electrophysiology, and fiber photometry, were used to investigate the dynamic structural and functional remodeling of a GABAergic circuit projected from the medial septum (MS) to the dentate gyrus (DG) in 3xTg-AD mice during AD progression. RESULTS: We identified a long-distance GABAergic circuit that couples highly connected MS and DG GABAergic neurons during spatial memory encoding. Furthermore, we found hyperactivity of DG interneurons during early AD, which persisted into late AD stages. Interestingly, MS GABAergic projections developed a series of adaptive strategies to combat DG interneuron hyperactivity. During early-stage AD, MS-DG GABAergic projections exhibit increased inhibitory synaptic strength onto DG interneurons to inhibit their activities. During late-stage AD, MS-DG GABAergic projections form higher anatomical connectivity with DG interneurons and exhibit aberrant outgrowth to increase the inhibition onto DG interneurons. CONCLUSION: We report the structural and functional remodeling of the MS-DG GABAergic circuit during disease progression in 3xTg-AD mice. Dynamic MS-DG GABAergic circuit remodeling represents a compensatory mechanism to combat DG interneuron hyperactivity induced by reduced GABA transmission.
