Unlike many cancers, gliomas rarely metastasize outside the brain, indicating a possible dependency on unique features of brain microenvironment. Synapses between neurons and glioma cells exist, suggesting that glioma cells rely on neuronal inputs and synaptic signaling for proliferation. Yet, the locations and properties of neurons that innervate gliomas have remained elusive. In this study, we utilized transsynaptic tracing with a pseudotyped, glycoprotein-deleted rabies virus to specifically infect TVA and glycoprotein-expressing human glioblastoma cells in an orthotopic xenograft mouse model, allowing us to identify the neurons that form synapses onto the gliomas. Comprehensive whole-brain mapping revealed that these glioma-innervating neurons (GINs) consistently arise at brain regions, including diverse neuromodulatory centers and specific cortical layers, known to project to the glioma locations. Molecular profiling revealed that these long-range cortical GINs are predominantly glutamatergic, and subsets express both glutamatergic and GABAergic markers, whereas local striatal GINs are largely GABAergic. Electrophysiological studies demonstrated that while GINs share passive intrinsic properties with cortex-innervating neurons, their action potential waveforms are altered. Our study introduces a novel method for identifying and mapping GINs and reveals their consistent integration into existing location-dependent neuronal network involving diverse neurotransmitters and neuromodulators. The observed intrinsic electrophysiological differences in GINs lay the groundwork for future investigations into how these alterations may correspond with the postsynaptic characteristics of glioma cells.<\/jats:p>\n                <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Significance<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We have developed a novel system utilizing rabies virus-based monosynaptic tracing to directly visualize neurons that synapse onto human glioma cells implanted in mouse brain. This approach enables the mapping and quantitative analysis of these glioma-innervating neurons (GINs) in the entire mouse brain and overcomes previous barriers of molecular and electrophysiological analysis of these neurons due to the inability to identify them. Our findings indicate that GINs integrate into existing neural networks in a location-specific manner. Long-range GINs are mostly glutamatergic, with a subset expressing both glutamatergic and GABAergic markers and local striatal GINs are GABAergic, highlighting a complex neuromodulatory profile. Additionally, GINs exhibit unique action potential characteristics, distinct from similarly selected neurons in non-tumor-bearing brains. This study provides new insights into neuronal adaptations in response to forming putative synapses onto glioma, elucidating the intricate synaptic relationship between GINs and gliomas.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1101\/2024.08.25.609573","type":"posted-content","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,29]],"date-time":"2024-08-29T11:31:10Z","timestamp":1724931070000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Widespread Neuroanatomical Integration and Distinct Electrophysiological Properties of Glioma-Innervating Neurons"],"prefix":"10.64898","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2048-7333","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Annie L.","family":"Hsieh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sanika","family":"Ganesh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tomasz","family":"Kula","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Madiha","family":"Irshad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emily Anne","family":"Ferenczi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wengang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yi-Ching","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Song-Hua","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zongyu","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shakchhi","family":"Joshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marcia C.","family":"Haigis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bernardo L.","family":"Sabatini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"54368","reference":[{"key":"2024082908050666000_2024.08.25.609573v1.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41593-019-0540-y"},{"key":"2024082908050666000_2024.08.25.609573v1.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cell.2023.02.002"},{"key":"2024082908050666000_2024.08.25.609573v1.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41586-019-1563-y"},{"key":"2024082908050666000_2024.08.25.609573v1.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41586-019-1564-x"},{"key":"2024082908050666000_2024.08.25.609573v1.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cell.2022.06.054"},{"key":"2024082908050666000_2024.08.25.609573v1.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cell.2015.04.012"},{"key":"2024082908050666000_2024.08.25.609573v1.7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nature24014"},{"key":"2024082908050666000_2024.08.25.609573v1.8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41586-023-06678-1"},{"key":"2024082908050666000_2024.08.25.609573v1.9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"844","DOI":"10.1038\/s41586-023-06267-2","article-title":"Remote neuronal activity drives glioma progression through SEMA4F","volume":"619","year":"2023","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"2024082908050666000_2024.08.25.609573v1.10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41586-023-06036-1"},{"key":"2024082908050666000_2024.08.25.609573v1.11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1523\/JNEUROSCI.0409-15.2015"},{"key":"2024082908050666000_2024.08.25.609573v1.12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nmeth999"},{"key":"2024082908050666000_2024.08.25.609573v1.13","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"M.
