Noise exposure alters MMP9 and brevican expression in the rat primary auditory cortex.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:This study aimed to investigate the changes in molecules related to perineuronal nets (PNNs) and synaptic transporters in the primary auditory cortices of rats with noise-induced hearing loss. Female Sprague-Dawley rats at postnatal day 7 were divided into the noise and control groups. Four hours of 115 dB SPL white noise was delivered for 10 days to the noise group. Thirty days after noise exposure, the primary auditory cortex and the inferior colliculus were harvested. The expression levels of vesicular glutamatergic transporter (VGLUT)1, VGLUT2, vesicular GABA transporter (VGAT), glutamate decarboxylase (GAD)67, brevican, aggrecan, MMP9, and MMP14 were evaluated using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction or western blot. An immunofluorescence assay was conducted to assess parvalbumin (PV), Wisteria floribunda agglutinin (WFA), and brevican. The immune-positive cells were counted in the primary auditory cortex. RESULTS:The expression level of VGLUT1 in the primary auditory cortex was decreased in the noise group. The expression level of VGLUT2 in the inferior colliculus was elevated in the noise group. The expression levels of brevican and PV?+?WFA in the primary auditory cortex were decreased in the noise group. The expression level of MMP9 in the primary auditory cortex was increased in the noise group. CONCLUSION:Noise-induced hearing loss during the precritical period impacted PNN expression in the primary auditory cortex. Increased MMP9 expression may have contributed to the decrease in brevican expression. These changes were accompanied by the attenuation of glutamatergic synaptic transporters.

Project description:As problematic opioid use has reached epidemic levels over the past 2 decades, the annual prevalence of opioid use disorder (OUD) in pregnant women has also increased 333%. Yet, how opioids affect the developing brain of offspring from mothers experiencing OUD remains understudied and not fully understood. Animal models of prenatal opioid exposure have discovered many deficits in the offspring of prenatal opioid exposed mothers, such as delays in the development of sensorimotor function and long-term locomotive hyperactivity. In attempt to further understand these deficits and link them with protein changes driven by prenatal opioid exposure, we used a mouse model of prenatal methadone exposure (PME) and preformed an unbiased multi-omic analysis across many sensoriomotor brain regions known to interact with opioid exposure. The effects of PME exposure on the primary motor cortex (M1), primary somatosensory cortex (S1), the dorsomedial striatum (DMS), and dorsolateral striatum (DLS) were assessed using quantitative proteomics and phosphoproteomics. PME drove many changes in protein and phosphopeptide abundance across all brain regions sampled. Gene and gene ontology enrichments were used to assess how protein and phosphopeptide changes in each brain region were altered. Our findings showed that M1 was uniquely affected by PME in comparison to other brain regions. PME uniquely drove changes in M1 glutamatergic synapses and synaptic function. Immunohistochemical analysis also identified anatomical differences in M1 for upregulating the density of glutamatergic and downregulating the density of GABAergic synapses due to PME. Lastly, comparisons between M1 and non-M1 multi-omics revealed conserved brain wide changes in phosphopeptides associated with synaptic activity and assembly, but only specific protein changes in synapse activity and assembly were represented in M1. Together, our studies show that lasting changes in synaptic function driven by PME are largely represented by protein and anatomical changes in M1, which may serve as a starting point for future experimental and translational interventions that aim to reverse the adverse effects of PME on offspring.
