Cell type specific gene expression patterns associated with posttraumatic stress disorder in World Trade Center responders

ABSTRACT: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been linked to immunologic dysregulation. Gene expression profiling has emerged as a promising tool for understanding the pathophysiology of PTSD. However, to date, all but one gene expression study was based on whole blood or unsorted peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC), a complex tissue consisting of several populations of cells. The objective of this study was to utilize RNA sequencing to simultaneously profile the gene-expression of four immune cell subpopulations in World Trade Center responders. Pathway analyses identified gene sets related to immune response and inflammation as being among the differentially expressed genes in PTSD, including mast cell activation and regulation in CD4T, interferon-beta production in CD8T, and neutrophil related gene sets in monocytes. These findings are suggestive that immune cell dysregulation involves gene expression in various cell populations.

Mapping the transcriptomics landscape of post-traumatic stress disorder symptom dimensions in World Trade Center responders

Project description:Gene expression has provided promising insights into the pathophysiology of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but specific regulatory transcriptomic mechanisms remain unknown. The current study addressed this limitation by analyzing transcriptome-wide RNA-Seq of whole blood samples from N=226 World Trade Center responders. The investigation focused on differential expression (DE) at gene, isoform, and alternative splicing (AS) levels associated with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder symptoms: total burden and its re-experiencing, avoidance, numbing, and hyperarousal subdimensions; and is the first study to characterize the AS landscape in PTSD. These dimensions were associated with 76, 1, 48, 15, and 49 genes, respectively (FDR<0.05). Similarly, they were associated with 103, 11, 0, 43, and 32 AS events. Avoidance differed the most from other dimensions with regard to DE genes, isoforms and AS correlates. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) identified pathways involved in inflammatory and metabolic processes, which may have implications for the treatment of PTSD. Overall, findings shed a novel light on the wide range of transcriptomic alterations associated with PTSD at gene and AS levels. The DE analysis associated with PTSD subdimensions highlights the importance of studying PTSD symptom heterogeneity.

PTSD mouse brain proteome - Fluoxetine Treatment Rescues Energy Metabolism Pathway Alterations in a Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Mouse Model

Project description:Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a prevalent psychiatric disorder. Several studies have attempted to characterize molecular alterations associated with PTSD, but most findings were limited to the investigation of specific cellular markers in the periphery or defined brain regions. In the current study, we aimed to unravel affected molecular pathways/mechanisms in the fear circuitry associated with PTSD. We interrogated a foot shock induced-PTSD mouse model by integrating proteomics and metabolomics profiling data. Alterations at the proteome level were analyzed using in vivo 15N metabolic labeling combined with mass spectrometry in prelimbic cortex (PrL), anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), basolateral amygdala (BLA), central nucleus of amygdala (CeA) and CA1 of hippocampus between shocked and non-shocked (control) mice, with and without fluoxetine treatment.

Circulating miRNA Associated with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in a Cohort of Military Combat Veterans

Project description:Objective: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects a high proportion of returning combat veterans, but the biological mechanisms of PTSD remain unclear. Circulating micro RNAs (miRNAs) have been associated with depression, and anxiety disorders, but there is little understanding of how miRNAs may relate to PTSD. In this study we compare profiles of circulating miRNA in combat veterans with and without PTSD in order to better understand biological mechanisms of PTSD. Methods: Blood from 24 male military service members was collected following deployment to Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) or Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), and subjects were assessed for PTSD symptoms using the PTSD checklist-military version. miRNA was isolated from whole blood and sequenced on the Ion Torrent PGM™ using the Ion 316 Chip v2. Differences in miRNA expression was compared between subjects with PTSD (N=15) and combat matched controls without PTSD (N=9). Significantly different miRNA, according to a FDR≤0.05, were assessed for predictive putative targets, and pathway analysis of related targets was completed. Results: PTSD was associated with 4 upregulated and 4 downregulated miRNA, including a 2.94 fold increase in miR-19a-3p and a 1.56 fold decrease in miR-15b. Pathway analysis show that PTSD is related to the axon guidance and Wnt signaling pathways, which work together along with the adherens junction and MAPK signaling pathways to support neuronal development through regulation of growth cones. The PTSD associated miRNAs related to transcription factors, including Transcription factor 7 (T-cell specific, HMG-box), Transcription factor 7 like 1, and Transcription factor 7 like 2. Conclusions: PTSD is associated with miRNAs that regulate biological functions that include neuronal activities, suggesting that they play a role in PTSD symptomatology.

Gene expression associated with PTSD in World Trade Center responders: An RNA sequencing study

Project description:The gene expression approach has provided promising insights into the pathophysiology of PTSD. However, few studies used hypothesis-free transcriptome-wide expression approach. Transcriptome-wide expression study using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) of whole blood was conducted in 324 World Trade Center responders (201 with never, 81 current and 42 past PTSD). The current and never PTSD samples were randomly split to form both discovery (N=195) and replication (N=87) cohorts. Differentially expressed genes identified in RNA-Seq were used in pathway analysis and to create a polygenic expression score. There were 448 differentially expressed genes in the discovery cohort, of which 99 remained significant in the replication cohort, and 5 (FKBP5, NDUFA1, CCDC85B, SNORD54, SNORD46) showed >1.2-fold difference in expression consistently between the discovery and replication cohorts. Several enriched biological pathways were found, including glucocorticoid receptor signaling and immunity-related pathways, but were not significant following FDR correction. The gene expression score achieved sensitivity of 0.917 and specificity of 0.508 for identifying PTSD cases in the replication cohort. It was similar in current and past PTSD, with both groups scoring higher than trauma-exposed controls. We confirmed the role of FKBP5 in PTSD and identified four additional differentially expressed genes that may constitute biomarkers for this condition. Together with the pathway analysis results, these findings point to HPA-axis and immune dysregulation as key biological processes underpinning PTSD. A novel polygenic expression aggregate that differentiates PTSD patients from trauma-exposed controls might be a useful screening tool for research and clinical practice, if replicated in other populations.

CPEB3-dowregulated Nr3c1 mRNA translation confers resilience to developing posttraumatic stress disorder-like behavior in fear-conditioned mice

Project description:Susceptibility or resilience to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) depends on one’s ability to appropriately adjust synaptic plasticity for coping with the traumatic experience. Activity-regulated mRNA translation synthesizes plasticity-related proteins to support long-term synaptic changes and memory. Hence, cytoplasmic polyadenylation element-binding protein 3-knockout (CPEB3-KO) mice, showing dysregulated translation-associated synaptic rigidity, may be susceptible to PTSD-like behavior. Here, using a context-dependent auditory fear conditioning and extinction paradigm, we found that CPEB3-KO mice exhibited traumatic intensity-dependent PTSD-like fear memory. A genome-wide screen of CPEB3-bound transcripts revealed that Nr3c1, encoding glucocorticoid receptor (GR), was translationally suppressed by CPEB3. Thus, CPEB3-KO neurons with elevated GR expression exhibited increased corticosterone-induced calcium influx and decreased mRNA and protein levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (Bdnf). Moreover, the reduced expression of BDNF was associated with increased GR level during fear extinction in CPEB3-KO hippocampi. Intracerebroventricular delivery of BDNF before extinction training mitigated spontaneous fear intrusion in CPEB3-KO mice during extinction recall. Analysis of two GEO datasets revealed decreased transcriptomic expression of CPEB3 but not NR3C1 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of humans with PTSD. Collectively, this study reveals that CPEB3, as a potential PTSD-risk gene, downregulates Nr3c1 translation to maintain proper GR-BDNF signaling for fear extinction.

Gene Expression Pathways Implicated in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Symptomatic Improvement

Project description:Military service members often return from deployment with a multiplicity of injuries, including mild traumatic brain injury, depression, and sleep disorders, which obsures diagnosis of PTSD symptoms and complicates treatment of PTSD. In order to understand the biological mechanisms underlying PTSD, gene expression profiles of military service members with and without PTSD were compared. Additionally, gene expression was examined based on intrusion symptoms, a distinct subtype of PTSD symptoms, and on improvement of PTSD symptoms at a three month follow up. RNA was extracted from blood samples and hybridized to the HG-U133_Plus_2 Affymetrix chip.

Integrated metabolomics and proteomics analysis of urine in a mouse model of Posttraumatic stress disorder

Project description:Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a serious stress disorder that occurs in individuals who have experienced major events. The underlying pathological mechanisms of PTSD are complex, and the related predisposing factors are still not fully understood. In this study, the proteomics and metabolomics characteristics between male the C57BL/6 normal group mice and a PTSD mice model group were analyzed using label-free quantitative proteomics and untargeted metabolomics. Differential expression analysis showed that 27 proteins were significantly differentially expressed between the two groups. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that the differentiated proteins were mostly enriched in: small molecule binding, transporter activity, extracellular region, extracellular space, endopeptidase activity, zymogen activation, hydrolase activity, proteolysis, peptidase activity, sodium channel regulator activity.
