text: Little is known about the critical metabolic changes that neural cells have
to undergo during development and how temporary shifts in this program can influence
brain circuitries and behavior. Inspired by the discovery that mutations in SLC7A5,
a transporter of metabolically essential large neutral amino acids (LNAAs), lead
to autism, we employed metabolomic profiling to study the metabolic states of
the cerebral cortex across different developmental stages. We found that the forebrain
undergoes significant metabolic remodeling throughout development, with certain
groups of metabolites showing stage-specific changes, but what are the consequences
of perturbing this metabolic program? By manipulating Slc7a5 expression in neural
cells, we found that the metabolism of LNAAs and lipids are interconnected in
the cortex. Deletion of Slc7a5 in neurons affects the postnatal metabolic state,
leading to a shift in lipid metabolism. Additionally, it causes stage- and cell-type-specific
alterations in neuronal activity patterns, resulting in a long-term circuit dysfunction.
