Project description:The developmental transition to motherhood requires gene expression changes that alter the brain to prepare and drive the female to perform maternal behaviors. Furthermore, it is expected that the many physiological changes accompanying pregnancy and postpartum stages will impact brain gene expression patterns. To understand how extensive these gene expression changes are, we examined the global transcriptional response broadly, by examining four different brain regions: hypothalamus, hippocampus, neocortex, and cerebellum. Further, to understand the time course of these changes we performed RNA-sequencing analyses on mRNA derived from virgin females, two pregnancy time points and three postpartum time points. We find that each brain region and time point shows a unique molecular signature, with only 49 genes differentially expressed in all four regions, across the time points. Additionally, several genes previously implicated in underlying postpartum depression change expression. This study serves as a comprehensive atlas of gene expression changes in the maternal brain in the cerebellum, hippocampus, hypothalamus, and neocortex. At each of the time points analyzed, all four brain regions show extensive changes, suggesting that pregnancy, parturition, and postpartum maternal experience substantially impacts diverse brain regions. Libraries were prepared from three independent biological replicates, mRNA for each biological replicate was derived from a single mouse brain, with each mouse brain being used to collect all four brain regions.
Project description:Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an adult-onset neurodegenerative disease characterized by motor neuron degeneration. MATR3 is an ALS-linked gene that encodes an RNA-binding protein that is involved in alternative splicing regulation. S85C is the most commonly identified mutation in MATR3. We generated MATR3 S85C knock-in mice (of the C57BL/6 background) as a model to study ALS pathogenesis and we found that homozygous S85C mice begin to show phenotypes at around 10 weeks of age. To investigate the molecular changes that may contribute to the behavioural deficits and neurodegeneration observed in homozygous S85C mice, we performed RNA-seq on cortex, cerebellum and lumbar spinal cord tissue of wild-type, heterozygous and homozygous S85C mice (4 females per genotype) at the early symptomatic stage (8-10 weeks old). Total RNA was extracted and sent to SickKids TCAG core for mRNA library preparation, which were paired end (100 bp in length) sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq S1 flow cell. The data obtained was aligned to mouse genome (mm10) using STAR aligner (v2.6.0), and paired-end reads mapping to exonic regions were counted using featureCounts (v1.6.3). Differential gene expression was analyzed using edgeR.
