Cell type-specific transcriptional programs in mouse prefrontal cortex during adolescence and addiction
Open accessAbstract
Coordinated activity-induced transcriptional changes across multiple neuron subtypes of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) play a pivotal role in encoding and regulating major cognitive behaviors. Yet, the specific transcriptional programs in each neuron subtype remain unknown. Using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), here we comprehensively classify all unique cell subtypes in the PFC. We analyze transcriptional dynamics of each cell subtype under a naturally adaptive and an induced condition. Adaptive changes during adolescence (between P21 and P60), a highly dynamic phase of postnatal neuroplasticity, profoundly impacted transcription in each neuron subtype, including cell type-specific regulation of genes implicated in major neuropsychiatric disorders. On the other hand, an induced plasticity evoked by chronic cocaine addiction resulted in progressive transcriptional changes in multiple neuron subtypes and became most pronounced upon prolonged drug withdrawal. Our findings lay a foundation for understanding cell type-specific postnatal transcriptional dynamics under normal PFC function and in neuropsychiatric disease states.

TL;DR
Using single-cell RNA sequencing, this study classifies cell types and subtypes in mouse prefrontal cortex and maps their transcriptional dynamics during adolescence (P21–P60) and chronic cocaine self-administration/withdrawal. It reports cell-type-specific changes, including regulation of neuropsychiatric disease-relevant GWAS genes and distinct pathways for adaptive versus cocaine-induced plasticity.
Key findings
- The PFC contained 8 major cell clusters; excitatory neurons made up 52.3% and inhibitory neurons 4.3% of total cells. Excitatory neurons resolved into 13 broad subtypes (26 at higher resolution) and inhibitory neurons into 12 subtypes; PFC excitatory subtypes were transcriptionally distinct from VISp and ALM, with unique subtypes and 273–555 differentially expressed genes even in similar clusters (FC > 2, q < 0.05).
- During adolescence (P21→P60), expression of at least 338 genes (Exc-1) to 1080 genes (Exc-8) changed across excitatory clusters; inhibitory changes ranged from 6 genes (Inhib-3) to 117 genes (Inhib-7), and non-neuronal endothelial cells had 879 genes affected.
- Chronic cocaine IVSA produced little transcriptional change during maintenance (≤10 genes per excitatory subtype, except Exc-6 with >40), but effects increased after withdrawal; at 15-day withdrawal all excitatory subtypes were impacted, with Exc-2, 6, 7, and 8 showing the greatest effects. Oxidative phosphorylation, mitochondrial function, and sirtuin signaling were the most significantly affected pathways.
- GWAS candidate genes for 12 PFC-related disorders showed cell type/subtype-enriched expression; 26–36% of GWAS candidates were dynamically regulated during adolescence for each disorder. For schizophrenia, Exc-13 had the most altered neuronal GWAS candidates; for bipolar disorder, Exc-8 had the most, followed by Exc-13; endothelial cells were the most affected non-neuronal type.
Methods
- Single-cell RNA-seq (10X Chromium) of mouse PFC: P60 for cell-type classification, P21 vs P60 for adolescence, and cocaine IVSA (saline vs cocaine) with PFC collected at maintenance, 48 h withdrawal, and 15-day withdrawal. All mice were male; 12 independent biological replicates were used, each pooling PFC from two mice; P21 data used 4 mice, and cocaine IVSA used 12 mice per group.
- Analyses included Seurat clustering, CCA/t-SNE alignment, differential expression (negative binomial GLM, likelihood ratio test, SC2P), MetaNeighbor for cross-region comparison, IPA pathway enrichment, and GWAS catalog enrichment; findings were validated with RNA in situ hybridization and smFISH.
Limitations
- Stated: low inhibitory neuron abundance limits statistical power and makes cocaine effects in inhibitory subtypes difficult to interpret; the age difference between adolescence (P21) and cocaine starting at P60 may contribute to differences; many factors modulate drug self-administration, and further studies are needed.
- Stated: although 26 high-resolution excitatory clusters were generated, differential expression used the 13 lower-resolution clusters for better power and accuracy; a marginal role of DNA methylation in early P21→P60 changes cannot be fully ruled out.
- Evident from the text: all mice were male, so sex differences are not addressed; the study is transcriptomic and correlational in mouse and does not report causal manipulations of candidate genes or subtypes.

The Accumulation of Non-CG DNA Methylation During Brain Development section (page unavailable) reports that methylation in frontal cortex increases most rapidly during early postnatal development, with slower accumulation through adolescence. This supports the broad claim about earlier developmental timing, though methylation does not stop after that early period. (LLM, conf=0.88)

“Oxidative phosphorylation is pivotal in fueling pre- and post-synaptic processing45, whose alteration impacts mitochondrial function, which in turn affects the sirtuin pathway46.”

The Results section (‘O2 use on different subcellular mechanisms’) states that oxidative phosphorylation generates ATP for presynaptic action potentials and transmitter release, as well as postsynaptic currents and action potentials. Citation 45 is attached to this first clause; the later mitochondrial-function and sirtuin-pathway clause is attached to citation 46. (LLM, conf=0.94)

Citation 46 is attached to the claim that altered mitochondrial function affects sirtuins, not to the preceding claim about synaptic processing. The paper’s “Role of mitochondrial sirtuins in signaling” section states that NAD⁺ and NADH levels are connected to mitochondrial energy production and regulate mitochondrial sirtuin activity; it also explains that oxidative phosphorylation converts NADH back to NAD⁺.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
