Spatial transcriptomics reveals D2-associated synaptic transcriptional attenuation in the chronically stressed dorsal striatum

Listed in NCBI GEO

Chronic stress alters striatal functions involved in motivation, action selection, and behavioral adaptation, yet cell-type-associated transcriptional organization in the dorsal striatum remains unclear.

Description

We used RNAscope-guided GeoMx spatial transcriptomics to compare D1- and D2-enriched neuronal compartments within anatomically matched dorsal striatal regions after chronic restraint stress. Chronic restraint stress engaged both populations and produced comparable numbers of differentially expressed genes.

Pathway-level analysis revealed partially overlapping transcriptional attenuation in D1 and D2 neurons, whereas D2 responses showed more coherent organization around receptor-trafficking and synaptic signaling programs. CRS-downregulated D2 genes further resolved into synapse-centered functional categories, including glutamatergic synapse, postsynaptic organization, and dendritic spine.
