    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Biotechnology
    • Molecular Biology

    Background:

    • Brain gene expression is typically assessed invasively.
    • Existing serum markers lack specificity and dynamic range.
    • Long serum half-lives of markers hinder monitoring temporal changes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a novel method for sensitive, non-invasive monitoring of brain gene expression.
    • To engineer erasable serum markers (ESM) for improved dynamic range.
    • To enable precise tracking of transgene expression and neural activity.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed released markers of activity (RMAs) for transgene expression measurement.
    • Engineered on-demand erasable RMAs.
    • Administered an intravenous targeted protease to reduce RMA background signal.
    • Validated detection sensitivity using a low-level promoter activity model.

    Main Results:

    • RMAs detect transgene expression from as few as 12 neurons in mice.
    • Erasable RMAs reduced background signal by over an order of magnitude.
    • The system achieved a 65,000-fold signal increase over baseline in a single brain region.
    • Improved dynamic range for detecting low-level promoter activity.

    Conclusions:

    • Erasable serum markers (ESM) offer a sensitive and dynamic non-invasive method for monitoring brain gene expression.
    • This approach overcomes limitations of traditional serum markers and invasive techniques.
    • ESM technology enhances the ability to track neural activity and gene expression changes in vivo.
