The development of new imaging and stimulating techniques is facilitating the analysis of complex neural systems, but the conventional genetic tools do not yet allow the separate and simultaneous manipulation of multiple neural pathways in brain regions containing neurons projecting to different target regions. To untangle complex neural circuits, we have developed a new viral gene transfer technique termed the "Gate-Tag vector system". This vector system is composed of two elements: a Gate vector that expresses a specific receptor "Gate" on the target cell surface, and a Tag vector that can entry target cells via the specific Gate. This system effectively creates a door on a cell's surface through which a selective Tag vector can be introduced into the cell. To implement this system, we utilized three avian-derived receptors as gates (Gates A-C) and three types of avian sarcoma and leukosis virus (ASLV) envelopes as tags (Tags A-C). When the lentiviral vectors pseudotyped with ASLV envelopes were used to infect receptor-expressing cell populations, substantially high receptor-envelope selectivity was observed both in vitro (>97% in HEK293T cells) and in vivo (>98% in the rat brains). By targeting the expression of each type of receptors with highly efficient retrograde gene transfer (HiRet), we achieved pathway-specific, differential fluorescent labeling of three thalamic neuronal populations, each projecting to different cortical regions. This proof-of-concept study demonstrates that our novel multi-target gene transfer system can genetically dissociate intermingled neural pathways in vivo.
