Project description:Cortical Dysplasia (CD) is the histopathological substrate in almost half of all drug-resistant epilepsy. Little is known about the gene expression profile of CD. As such information may help target therapeutics more effectively, our aim was to perform a gene expression analysis of an animal model of cortical dysplasia induced by in utero irradiation. THIS SERIES (GSE13697) INCLUDES ALL (AND ONLY) EXPERIMENTAL SAMPLES--I.E. IRRADIATED/CORTICAL DYSPLASIA (9). Nine offspring from irradiated animals, and nine age-matched controls were sacrificed at post-natal day 60. Cortex and hippocampal regions were separated, and total ribonucleic acid (RNA) was extracted using a commercially available kit (Qiagen®). RNA was then subjected to a gene expression analysis using an oligonucleotide microarray platform (Illumina®). After statistical analysis, genes were considered differentially expressed when a p value less than .001 was observed. Real-time, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to confirm microarray results for three genes via the Livak method.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of rat hippocampus 4.5h post intracranial self-stimulation (ICSS) show that this treatment, which improves learning and memory processes in a variety of paradigms of implicit and explicit memory, regulates gene expression of genes related to cAMP-mediated signaling and regulation of synaptic plasticity, among others. Rats were implanted with a monopolar stainless steel electrode aimed at the lateral hypothalamus in the right hemisphere. Hippocampal gene expression was analyzed 4.5h post treatment comparing rats subjected to acute self-stimulation (2500 stimulation trains; ICSS group) with sham-operated rats (with electrode placement but placed in the ICSS without stimulation during 40 min.; Sham group). Two-condition experiment, ICSS and Sham. Every sample consisted of pooled hippocampi ipsilateral to the electrode from three rats. Slices between Bregma levels -2 and -4 were used for dissections of the hippocampi. Common reference design, comparing every condition versus a brain pooled tissue consisting of pooled hippocampal tissue ipsilateral to the electrode of sham-operated (n=3) and stimulated (n=3) rats. Biological replicates: 4 DBS and 4 sham. One replicate per array.

Project description:We investigated the effects of PACAP treatment, and endogenous PACAP deficiency, on infarct volume, neurological function, and the cerebrocortical transcriptional response in a mouse model of stroke, middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). PACAP-38 administered i.v. or i.c.v. one hour after MCAO significantly reduced infarct volume, and ameliorated functional motor deficits measured 24 hours later in wild-type mice. Infarct volumes and neurological deficits (walking faults) were both greater in PACAP-deficient than in wild-type mice, but treatment with PACAP reduced lesion volume and neurological deficits in PACAP-deficient mice to the same level of improvement as in wild-type mice. A 35,546-clone mouse cDNA microarray was used to investigate cortical transcriptional changes associated with cerebral ischemia in wild-type and PACAP-deficient mice, and with PACAP treatment after MCAO in wild-type mice. 229 known (named) transcripts were increased (228) or decreased (1) in abundance at least 50% following cerebral ischemia in wild-type mice. 49 transcripts were significantly up-regulated only at one hour post-MCAO (acute response transcripts), 142 were up-regulated only at 24 hours post-MCAO (delayed response transcripts) and 37 transcripts were up-regulated at both times (sustained response transcripts). More than 50% of these are transcripts not previously reported to be associated with brain ischemia responses. Many of the acutely regulated neurotrauma-associated transcripts, but a larger percentage of the delayed ones, require endogenous PACAP for up-regulation by ischemia, suggesting a more prominent role for PACAP in later response to injury than in the initial response, and consistent with a neuroprotective role for PACAP in late response to injury and neuroprotective efficacy when given post-MCAO. Putative injury effector transcripts regulated by PACAP include ãÃ-actin, midline 2, and metallothionein 1. Potential neuroprotective transcripts include several demonstrated to be PACAP-regulated in other contexts. Prominent among these were transcripts encoding the PACAP-regulated gene Ier3, and the neuropeptides enkephalin, substance P (tachykinin 1), and neurotensin. In the hybridization method employed, equal amounts (2-5ãÃg/15.5 ãÃl) of total RNA obtained from brain tissue of different experimental groups were separately labeled with two different fluorescent dyes (Cy3 or Cy5) and applied on the same NIMH Mouse 36K cDNA microarray chip containing 13217 distinct Entrez gene IDs (formerly known as LocusLink) and 15888 distinct unigene IDs, the remainders are incompletely annotated IMAGE clones. Probe preparation and hybridization were performed as follows. The total RNA (15-50 ãÃg in 15.5 ãÃl) was incubated with amine-modified random primer (2 ãÃg/ãÃl, 2 ãÃl) and RNase inhibitor (5 units/ãÃl, 1 ãÃl) at 70 äaC for 10 min. Primer-RNA solution was then incubated at 42 äaC for 2 hr with the reverse transcriptase mix containing 5X first-strand buffer, 50X aa-dUTP/dNTPs (25 mM dATP, 25 mM dGTP, 25 mM dCTP, 15 mM dTTP and 10 mM aminoallyl dUTP), 0.1 M DDT, and Superscript II reverse transcriptase. The cDNA were labeled with NHS-ester Cy3 or Cy5 dye in the presence of 1 M sodium bicarbonate. Array slides placed in a hybridization chamber (Corning, Corning, NY) were incubated at 42 äaC for 16-24 hr, and successively washed with 0.5X SSC, 0.01% SDS, and 0.06X SSC at room temperature for 10 min each. Arrays were scanned with a GenePix 4000A scanner (Axon, Foster City, CA), and the resulting images were analyzed using IPlab (Fairfax, VA) and a FileMaker Pro 5 (Santa Clara, CA) relational database designed by Zedong Chen, NHGRI. Following background subtraction and normalization, a calculated ratio of Cy3 to Cy5 signal intensities was used to define the relative increase or decrease of a particular transcript. Ratios were calculated only from those spots with a combined ratio quality above 0.3.

Project description:The neocortex of the mammalian brain is comprised by six distinct layers with neuronal subtypes that appear indistinguishable from one cortical area to the next. Correspondingly, global gene expression seems to be almost identical across the cerebral cortex and only a few genes have so far been reported to show regional enrichment in specific cortical areas. In the present study on adult rat brain, we have corroborated the strikingly similar gene expression among cortical areas. However, differential expression analysis has allowed for the identification of 30, 24 and 11 genes enriched in frontomedial -, temporal- or occipital cortex, respectively. A large proportion of these 65 genes appear to be involved in signal transduction, including the ion channel Fxyd6, the neuropeptide Grp and the nuclear receptor Rorb. We also find that the majority of these genes display increased expression levels around birth and show distinct preferences for certain cortical layers and cell types in rodents. Since specific patterns of expression often are linked to equally specialised biological functions, we propose that these cortex sub-region enriched genes are important for proper functioning of the cortical regions in question and may represent interesting candidates for further genetic studies of neuropsychiatric phenotypes.

Project description:To understand the genetic regulation of gene expression and patterns of gene co-expression, we sequenced the transcriptome of the hippocampus of 258 Diversity Outbred (DO) mice of both sexes. DO mice (fourth and fifth generations of outcrossing) were sacrificed between 6-8 weeks of age and hippocampus dissected. Total hippocampal RNA was isolated using a TRIzol Plus RNA purification kit (Life Technologies) and mRNA sequencing library was prepared using a TruSeq kit (Illumina), both according to manufacturer's protocols. Paired-end 100bp reads were obtained using the Illumina HiSeq 2000.

Project description:In order to identify tissue specific differences in epithelial behavior following injury, we developed a novel animal model of epithelial-restricted injury in the New Zealand White rabbit. A grid of shallow incisional wounds, which extended through the entire epithelium but did not significantly damage the underlying connective tissue, were created on the skin and vaginal mucosa, and samples were taken at various times post-surgery for histology and molecular analysis. All wounds were completely re-epithelialized between 1 and 2 days post-surgery. A microarray analysis was performed on RNA extracted from the cutaneous and mucosal epithelium at 0 hour, 12 hours, 1 day, 3 days, and 5 days following injury, as well as unwounded control tissue. Multiple biological replicates (4 to 6 biological replicates) were measured at each condition. A custom Agilent 4x44K rabbit microarray was utilized.

Project description:G72 transgenic (TG, transgenic mice carrying the G72/G30 locus) and wildtype (WT) mice with a CD1 background were used for transcriptome data acquisition. Importantly, three different brain regions, i.e., the retrosplenial cortex, the hippocampus and thalamus, of animals from both sexes were investigated. In total, eight WT control animals (four ♂, age: 23.14 ± 0.00 wks; four ♀, age: 23.46 ± 0.11 wks) and eight G72 transgenic mice (four ♂, age: 23.14 ± 0.00 wks; four ♀, age: 23.14 ± 0.00 wks) were used for dissection of the cortex, thalamus and hippocampus for subsequent transcriptome analysis. Our data allow new insight into relevant alterations in gene transcript levels in G72 mice and allow the reader/user to carry out additional complex analyses to characterize potential sex-, age- and brain-region-specific profiles in gene expression and related pathways. These analyses could trigger biomarker identification and drug research and development in schizophrenia research in the future.

Project description:Synaptic transmission forms the main mode of signaling and information integration in the nervous system. Here, we identified and quantified proteins from three brain regions and five biochemical synapse sub-fractions. We identified around 4500 proteins in total, of which about 2000 proteins each were quantified from microsome, P2 fraction, synaptosome, synaptic membrane, and postsynaptic density (PSD). Correlation profiling using these data sets identified synaptic functional groups and showed enrichment of canonical presynaptic proteins in synaptosome, and canonical postsynaptic proteins in PSD. In addition, we detected profound brain region specific differences in the extent of enrichment for some functionally associated proteins, exemplified by different AMPAR subunits and the large differences in spatial distribution of their potential interactors. Furthermore, we revealed novel PSD proteins PLEKHA5 and ADGRA1, which using super-resolution microscopy on primary neuronal culture were confirmed to reside in the PSD.

Project description:The ability to form memories is a prerequisite for an organismâs behavioural adaptation to environmental changes. At the molecular level, the acquisition and maintenance of memory requires changes in chromatin modifications. In an effort to unravel the epigenetic network underlying both short- and long-term memory, we examined chromatin modification changes in two distinct mouse brain regions, two cell-types, and three time-points before and after contextual learning. Here we show that histone modifications predominantly change during memory acquisition and correlate surprisingly little with changes in gene expression. While long-lasting changes are almost exclusive to neurons, learning-related histone modification and DNA methylation changes occur also in non-neuronal cell types, suggesting a functional role for non-neuronal cells in epigenetic learning. Finally, our data provides evidence for a molecular framework of memory acquisition and maintenance, wherein DNA methylation could alter the expression and splicing of genes involved in functional plasticity and synaptic wiring. We examined chromatin modification changes in two distinct mouse brain regions (CA1 and ACC), two cell-types (neurons, non-neurons), and three time-points before and after contextual learning (naive, 1h, 4w).
