Transcriptome of zebrafish neurohypophyseal astroglia (pituicytes)

ABSTRACT: The hypothalamo-neurohypophyseal system (HNS) is an interface through which the brain regulates body homeostasis by means of releasing the hypothalamic neurohormones oxytocin and arginine-vasopressin to the general circulation. The basic components of the HNS are the hypothalamic axonal projections, endothelial blood vessels and astroglial-like cells, termed pituicytes. These three tissue types converge and interact at the ventral forebrain to establish an efficient neuro-vascular interface, which allows the release of neurohormones from the brain to the periphery. However, the molecular blueprint of pituicytes-specific genes is still unknown. We have labelled and isolated zebrafish pituicytes cells and have identified their molecular signature.

Seasonal adaptations of the hypothalamo-neurohypophyseal system of the dromedary camel

Project description:The “ship of the desert”, the one-humped Arabian camel (Camelus dromedarius), has a remarkable capacity to survive in conditions of extreme heat without needing to drink water. One of the ways that this is achieved is through the actions of the antidiuretic hormone vasopressin (AVP) and the natriuretic hormone oxytocin (OXT), both of which are made in a specialised part of the brain called the hypothalamo-neurohypophyseal system (HNS), but exert their effects at the level of the kidney to, respectively, provoke water conservation and salt excretion. Interestingly, our electron microscopy studies have shown that the ultrastructure of the camel HNS changes according to season, suggesting that in the arid conditions of summer the dromedary’s HNS is in a state of permanent activation, in preparation for the likely prospect of water deprivation. Based on our camel genome sequence, we have carried out an RNAseq analysis of the camel HNS in summer and winter.

Single-cell molecular and cellular architecture of neurohypophyseal cell types in adult mouse

Project description:The neurohypophysis (NH), located at the posterior lobe of the pituitary, is a major neuroendocrine tissue, which mediates osmotic balance, blood pressure, reproduction, and lactation by means of releasing the neurohormones oxytocin and arginine-vasopressin from the brain into the peripheral blood circulation. The major cellular components of the NH are hypothalamic axonal termini, fenestrated endothelia and pituicytes, the resident astroglia. However, despite the physiological importance of the NH, the exact molecular signature defining neurohypophyseal cell types and in particular the pituicytes, remains unclear. Using single cell RNA sequencing, we captured seven distinct cell types in the NH and intermediate lobe (IL) of adult male mouse. We revealed novel pituicyte markers showing higher specificity than previously reported markers. Multiplexing single molecule in situ hybridization revealed spatial organization of the major cell types implying intercellular communications. We present a comprehensive molecular and cellular characterization of neurohypophyseal cell-types serving as a valuable resource for further functional research.

The Transcriptome of the rat hypothalamo-neurohypophyseal system is highly strain-dependant

Project description:We have used microarrays to comprehensively describe the transcriptomes of the supraoptic nucleus (SON), the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and the neurointermediate lobe (NIL) of adult male Sprague-Dawley (SD) and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats, as well as the paraventricular nucleus of Wistar (WIST) rats. Comparison of these gene lists has enabled us to identify surprisingly large differences in hypothalamo-neurohypophyseal system gene expression patterns in these three strains. We have also shown that different transcript populations are enriched in the PVN and the SON of SD and WKY rats. The transcriptome differences catalogued here may be molecular substrates for the neuro-humoral phenotypic differences exhibited by different strains of rats.

Microarray analysis of the dynamics of gene expression plasticity in the supraoptic nucleus following dehydration

Project description:The hypothalamo-neurohypophyseal system (HNS) is crucial for osmoregulation. The HNS consists of the magnocellular neurons (MCNs) of the hypothalamus that have their axons terminating in the posterior pituitary. The HNS exerts its role in water balance via the release of the anti-diuretic hormone vasopressin (VP). Following dehydration VP is released into the general circulation. By binding to V2-type receptors located in the kidney, VP decrease the amount of water lost in urine. An osmotic stimulus also elicits an increase in VP gene expression and a functional remodelling of the entire HNS. We want to understand this plasticity in terms of the co-ordinated reprogramming of gene expression. We thus used Affymetrix U34a rat GeneChips to examine the dynamics of gene expression plasticity over the duration of a dehydration stimulus. Arrays were probed in triplicate with targets derived from SON of control rats, and rats dehydrated for 1 and for 3 days. Transcripts were thus identified that respond early to dehydration (up- or down-regulated after only 1day of dehydration), or that respond late (up- or down-regulated at 3 days of dehydration).

Transcription profiling of rat hypothalamo-neurohypophyseal system in euhydrated and dehydrated animals

Project description:The hypothalamic paraventricular (PVN) and supraoptic (SON) nuclei are important integrative structures that regulate co-ordinated responses to perturbations in cardiovascular homeostasis. Through descending projections from parvocellular neurons to the brainstem, the PVN acts as an autonomic 'premotor nucleus', regulating reflex changes in sympathetic nerve activity that are involved in blood pressure and blood volume regulation. Endocrine responses are mediated through axonal projections from SON and PVN magnocellular neurons (MCNs) to the capillaries of the posterior pituitary neural lobe. In response to dehydration, a massive release of the antidiuretic peptide hormone vasopressin (VP) into the circulation is accompanied by a dramatic functional remodelling of the HNS. We have used microarrays to comprehensively catalogue the genes expressed in the PVN, the SON and the neurointermediate lobe (NIL) of the pituitary gland. Further, we have identified transcripts that are regulated as a consequence of dehydration, as well as RNAs that are enriched in either the PVN or the SON. We suggest that these differentially expressed genes represent candidate regulators and effectors of HNS activity and remodelling. Experiment Overall Design: In total, 10 Affymetrix Genechip Rat Genome 230 2.0 were used. The experiment compared hypothalamic supraoptic nucleus from 3 day dehydrated and control male Sprague Dawley rats (10-12 weeks). For each chip, tissue from 5 animals was pooled prior to extraction of total RNA and in total 5 chips were used for each condition using independently prepared RNA samples from separate groups of animals.
