Comprehensive gene expression analysis of cerebral cortices from mature rats after neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury

ABSTRACT: Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic (HI) encephalopathy can lead to severe brain damage and is a common cause of neurological handicaps in adulthood. To elucidate the molecular events occurring in cerebral cortices of mature rats (8 weeks old) after neonatal HI brain insult, we performed comprehensive gene expression and gene network analyses using a DNA microarray system (Agilent 4x44K). A rat model of neonatal HI encephalopathy (Rice model) was obtained by unilateral ligation of the common carotid artery of 7-day-old rats with hypoxia (exposure to 8% oxygen). Due to the HI insult-related breakdown of the ipsilateral hemisphere in the brain, RNAs were prepared from the contralateral cerebral cortices of 8-week-old rats and analyzed by DNA microarray. Biofunctional analysis of differentially regulated genes revealed that many upregulated genes were related to cell death signaling, such as the arachidonic acid cascade. In contrast, many downregulated genes were related to gene expression, reflecting progressive damage by the HI insult, even within the contralateral cerebral hemisphere. Seven-day-old Wistar rats were assigned to two groups: the control group and the Rice group (four pups in each group). HI brain insult was not induced in the control group rats. The Rice group rats were subjected to a modified LevineM-bM-^@M-^Ys procedure to induce HI brain injury. The Rice group rats were anesthetized with ether, and the left carotid artery was sectioned between double ligatures with 4-0 surgical silk. The rats were allowed to recover for 1M-bM-^@M-^S2 h and then exposed to 1 h of hypoxia in a plastic chamber that was perfused with a mixture of humidified 8% oxygen balanced with nitrogen. The temperature inside the chamber was maintained at 33 M-BM-0C, the usual temperature generated when pups huddle with the mother. The cerebral cortexes contralateral to the HI brain insult and those of the same side of the control animals were used for the experiment.

Project description:Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) refers to nervous system damage caused by perinatal hypoxia, which is the major cause of long-term neuro-developmental disorders in surviving infants. However, the mechanisms still require further investigation. In this study, we found that the butanoate metabolism pathway exhibited significantly decreased and short chain fatty acid (SCFAs)-producing bacteria, especially butyrate-producing bacteria, were significantly decreased in fecal of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) rats. Surprisingly, Sodium butyrate (SB) treatment could ameliorate pathological damage both in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus and facilitate recovery of SCFAs-producing bacteria related to metabolic pathways in neonatal HIBD rats. Moreover, we found that in samples from SB treatment neonatal HIBD rats cortex with high levels of butyrate acid along with aberrant key crotonyl-CoA-producing enzymes ACADS levels was observed compared HIBD rats. We also demonstrated that a decrease in histone 3-lysine 9-crotonylation (H3K9cr) downregulated expression of the HIE-related neurotrophic genes Bdnf, Gdnf, Cdnf and Manf in HIBD rats. Furthermore, SB restored H3K9cr binding to HIE-related neurotrophic genes. Collectively, our results indicate that SB contributes to ameliorate pathological of HIBD by altering gut microbiota and brain SCFAs levels subsequently affecting histone crotonylation-mediated neurotrophic-related genes expression. This may be a novel microbiological approach for preventing and treating HIE.
