Project description:The interior of the neuronal cell nucleus is a highly organized 3-dimensional (3D) structure in which regions of the genome that are millions of bases apart participate in specialized sub-structures with dedicated functions. To investigate neuronal chromatin organization and dynamics in vivo, we generated bitransgenic mice that express histone GFP-tagged H2B in principal neurons of the forebrain. Surprisingly, the expression of this chimeric histone in mature neurons causes chromocenter declustering and disrupts the association of heterochromatin with the nuclear lamina. The loss of these structures does not affect neuronal viability but is associated with specific transcriptional and behavioral deficits related to serotonergic dysfunction. Overall, our results demonstrate that the 3D-organization of chromatin in the neuronal nucleus supports an additional level of epigenetic regulation of gene expression that critically influences neuronal function and indicate that some loci associated with neuropsychiatric disorders may be particularly sensitive to changes in chromatin architecture. Genome-wide profiling by high throughput sequencing of H3K27me3 in the adult hippocampus of CaMKII-tTA/tetO-H2BGFP (H2BGFP) and their wild-type littermates mice (WT). Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) was carried out using pooled hippocampal tissue from 3 mice (one hippocampus per mouse). One DNA library was constructed per genotype. Each DNA library was prepared from pooled immunoprecipitated DNA from 4 independent ChIP assays. In total, tissue from 12 different mice was used to prepare each DNA library. 60% of a lane was used to perform single end (1x50bp) multiplex sequencing in HiSeq 2500 apparatus (Illumina). Each library, was sequenced in duplicate (in two independent sequencing runs. Technical replicates).

Project description:The interior of the eukaryotic cell nucleus is a highly organized 3D structure. In mature hippocampal and cortical pyramidal neurons, transcriptionally silent DNA is typically compacted in a few clusters referred to as chromocenters that are strongly stained with DNA intercalating agents like DAPI and whose function is still uncertain. We found that this 3D structure was severely disrupted by the incorporation of the chimeric histone H2BGFP into neuronal chromatin. Experiments in inducible and forebrain restricted bitransgenic mice demonstrated that the expression of this histone alters the higher-order organization of neuronal heterochromatin and causes a complex behavioral phenotype that includes hyperactivity, and social interaction, prepulse inhibition and cognitive defects. This phenotype was associated with highly specific transcriptional deficits that affected several serotonin receptor genes located at the edge of gene desert regions. Pharmacological and electrophysiological experiments indicate that this epigenetically-induced hyposerotonergic state may underlie the behavioral defects. Our results suggest a new role for perinuclear heterochromatin and chromocenter organization in the epigenetic regulation of neuronal gene expression and mental illness. We used microarrays to detect differential gene expression in transgenic mice expressing histone H2BGFP in the forebrain. We obtained triplicate samples (biological replicates) of either genotype (wild-type and H2BGFP mice). Each sample contained pooled total RNA from the hippocampi of 2 three-month old genotype-matched mice.

Project description:Purpose: We generated extensive transcriptional and proteomic profiles from a Her2-driven mouse model of breast cancer that closely recapitulates human breast cancer. This report makes these data publicly available in raw and processed forms, as a resource to the community. Importantly, we previously made biospecimens from this same mouse model freely available through a sample repository, so researchers can obtain samples to test biological hypotheses without the need of breeding animals and collecting biospecimens. Experimental design: Twelve datasets are available, encompassing 841 LC-MS/MS experiments (plasma and tissues) and 255 microarray analyses of multiple tissues (thymus, spleen, liver, blood cells, and breast). Cases and controls were rigorously paired to avoid bias. Results: In total, 18,880 unique peptides were identified (PeptideProphet peptide error rate â¤1%), with 3884 and 1659 non-redundant protein groups identified in plasma and tissue datasets, respectively. Sixty-one of these protein groups overlapped between cancer plasma and cancer tissue. Conclusions and clinical relevance: These data are of use for advancing our understanding of cancer biology, for software and quality control tool development, investigations of analytical variation in MS/MS data, and selection of proteotypic peptides for MRM-MS. The availability of these datasets will contribute positively to clinical proteomics. Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 microarrays were used to profile whole tissues from 5 different tissue types of 25 tumor-bearing and 25 control mice of the Her2/Neu breast cancer mouse model. The 5 tissues tested were from breast, liver, spleen, blood cell, and thymus. The tumor-bearing mice were bitransgenic for MMTV-rtTA/TetO-NeuNT, and the control mice were transgenic for TetO-NeuNT only. The control mice were age- and cage-matched to the tumor-bearing mice. All samples were lysed and total RNA isolated and amplified prior to hybridization.

Project description:G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling in osteoblasts (OBs) is an important regulator of bone formation. We previously described a mouse model expressing Rs1, an engineered constitutively active Gs-coupled GPCR, under the control of the 2.3 kb-Col I promoter. These mice showed a dramatic age-dependent increase in trabecular bone which were accompanied by an increase in OB lineage cells, especially immature OBs, indicated by an expansion of cells expressing Osterix and Runx2 in the whole femur. In this study, we further evaluated how Gs signaling in OBs affects intramembranous bone formation by examining calvariae of one-and nine-week-old Col1(2.3)/Rs1 mice. Rs1 calvariae displayed a dramatic increase in total volume and trabecular bone volume with partial loss of cortical structure. By immunohistochemistry, Osterix was detected in cells throughout the inter-trabecular space in Rs1 expressing mice while Osteocalcin was expressed predominantly in cells along bone surfaces. These findings resembled that previously seen in Rs1 femoral bones, suggesting the role of paracrine mediators secreted from OBs driven by 2.3 kb-Col I promoter could influence early OB commitment, differentiation, and/or proliferation. However, it is still unclear how G protein signaling in mature OBs leads to the observed alterations in bone mass. In this study, we investigated the cellular basis of the skeletal changes by assessing the effect of Rs1 expression in vivo on the transcriptome of mature OBs. We identified the complete set of Gs-GPCRs and other GPCRs that are expressed on OBs which may contribute to the observed skeletal phenotype. Candidate paracrine mediators of the effect of Gs signaling in OBs were determined. Genes affected by Rs1 signaling include those encoding proteins important for cell differentiation, cytokines and growth factors, angiogenesis, coagulation, and energy metabolism. Our results identify novel candidate mediators of the anabolic response to the skeleton to Gs signaling in mature OBs. We utilized a microarray approach to examine Rs1-induced alterations in the OB transcriptome. The approach used to identify an approximate snapshot of the OB transcriptome at the time of sacrifice by isolating the OB population that expresses Rs1 by GFP labeling, without the use of cell culture. We compared gene expression between control OBs and OBs-expressing Rs1 in triplicates.
