Long-term intranasal insulin aspart: a profile of gene expression, memory, and insulin receptors in aged F344 rats

ABSTRACT: Intranasal insulin is a safe and effective method for ameliorating memory deficits associated with pathological brain aging. However, the impact of different formulations and the duration of treatment on insulin’s efficacy and the cellular processes targeted by the treatment remain unclear. Here, we tested whether intranasal insulin aspart, a short-acting insulin formulation, could alleviate memory decline associated with aging and whether long-term treatment affected regulation of insulin receptors and other potential targets. Outcome variables included measures of spatial learning and memory, autoradiography and immunohistochemistry of the insulin receptor, and hippocampal microarray analyses. Aged Fischer 344 rats receiving long-term (3 months) intranasal insulin did not show significant memory enhancement on the Morris water maze task. Autoradiography results showed that long-term treatment reduced insulin binding in the thalamus but not the hippocampus. Results from hippocampal immunofluorescence revealed age-related decreases in insulin immunoreactivity that were partially offset by intranasal administration. Microarray analyses highlighted numerous insulin-sensitive genes, suggesting insulin aspart was able to enter the brain and alter hippocampal RNA expression patterns including those associated with tumor suppression. Our work provides insights into potential mechanisms of intranasal insulin and insulin resistance, and highlights the importance of treatment duration and the brain regions targeted.

Intranasal Insulin Treatment Alters Gene Expression Profile in the Hippocampus of Rats with Perinatal Iron Deficiency

Project description:Background: Perinatal iron deficiency (ID) targets the hippocampus and leads to long-term cognitive deficits. These deficits remain even after iron repletion, suggesting that further insight into the mechanisms of cognitive deficits and adjunct treatments are needed. Intranasal insulin improves cognitive deficits in adult humans with Alzheimer’s disease and type 2 diabetes and could provide benefits in ID-induced neurological dysfunction. Objective: Assess the effects of intranasal insulin administration on the hippocampal transcriptome in rat model of perinatal ID. Methods: Perinatal ID was induced using a low iron diet from gestational day 3 until postnatal day (P) 7, followed by an iron sufficient (IS) diet through P21. Intranasal insulin was administered at a dose of 0.3 IU, twice daily from P8 to P21. Hippocampi were removed on P21 from IS control, ID control, IS insulin, and ID insulin groups. Total RNA was isolated and profiled using TruSeq next-generation sequencing (Illumina). Gene expression profiles were characterized using custom Galaxy workflows and expression patterns were examined using Ingenuity Pathways Analysis (Qiagen) (n = 7-9 per group). Results: Transcriptomic profiling revealed that mitochondrial biogenesis and flux, oxidative phosphorylation, quantity of neurons, CREB signaling in neurons, and RICTOR-based mTOR signaling were disrupted with ID and positively affected by insulin treatment with the most benefit observed in the ID insulin group. Conclusions: Both perinatal ID and insulin administration altered gene expression in the developing hippocampus. Intranasal insulin treatment reversed the adverse effects of ID on many molecular pathways and should be further explored as an adjunct therapy in perinatal ID.

Early remodeling of the neocortex upon episodic memory encoding

Project description:Understanding the mechanisms by which long-term memories are formed and stored in the brain represents a central aim of neuroscience. Prevailing theory suggests that long-term memory encoding involves early plasticity within hippocampal circuits, while reorganization of the neocortex is thought to occur weeks to months later to subserve remote memory storage. Here we report that long-term memory encoding can elicit early transcriptional, structural and functional remodeling of the neocortex. Parallel studies using genome-wide RNA-sequencing, ultrastructural imaging, and whole-cell recording in wild-type mice suggest that contextual fear conditioning initiates a transcriptional program in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) that is accompanied by rapid expansion of the synaptic active zone and postsynaptic density, enhanced dendritic spine plasticity, and increased synaptic efficacy. To address the real-time contribution of the mPFC to long-term memory encoding, we performed temporally precise optogenetic inhibition of excitatory mPFC neurons during contextual fear conditioning. Using this approach, we found that real-time inhibition of the mPFC inhibited activation of the entorhinal-hippocampal circuit and impaired the formation of long-term associative memory. These findings suggest that encoding of long-term episodic memory is associated with early remodeling of neocortical circuits, identify the prefrontal cortex as a critical regulator of encoding-induced hippocampal activation and long-term memory formation, and have important implications for understanding memory processing in healthy and diseased brain states. 4 biological replicates per group were analyzed. The material analyzed was medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC; anterior cingulate cortex subregion) from both brain hemispheres, from which total RNA was extracted.

Towards epigenetic understanding and therapy of insulin resistance by intranuclear insulin [DNA methylation]

Project description:There is evidence indicating the involvement of DNA methylation memory in maintaining gene expression patterns associated with insulin resistance. Although the exact mechanism remains unknown, it has been proved that insulin resistance is correlated to low heat shock protein (HSP) expression. We reveal that intranuclear insulin can reduce HSP DNA methylation level to up-regulate HSP protein expression and result in long term cure of hyperglycemia. Insulin resistance HepG2 cell were selected in our experiments.Two conditions were compared with three replicates each. These are:(1) Insulin resistance HepG2(R-HepG2) and (2) Biomineralized insulin treated HepG2 (BI).

Ketogenic diet administration later in life improves memory and regulates the synaptic cortical proteome through the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway in aging mice

Project description:Aging is a complex biological process that compromises brain function and neuronal network activity, leading to cognitive decline and synaptic dysregulation. In recent years, a cyclic Ketogenic Diet (KD) has emerged as a potential treatment to ameliorate cognitive decline by improving memory in aged mice after long-term administration. However, whether short-term cyclic KD administration later in life preserves memory has not been addressed in detail. Accordingly, here we investigated how a short-term cyclic KD starting at 20-23 months-old regulates brain function of aged mice. Behavioral testing and long-term potentiation (LTP) recordings revealed that a cyclic KD improves working memory and hippocampal LTP in 24-27 months-old mice after 16 weeks of treatment. Moreover, the diet also promotes higher dendritic arborization complexity and dendritic spine density in the prefrontal cortex. Furthermore, to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the memory improvements elicited by a cyclic KD, cortical synaptosomes of aged mice fed with this diet for 1 year were analyzed by mass spectrometry. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that long-term cyclic KD administration predominantly modulates the presynaptic compartment by inducing changes in the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway, the synaptic vesicle cycle and the actin/microtubule cytoskeleton. To test these findings in vivo, synaptic proteins from cortices of 24-27 month-old mice fed with control or cyclic KD for 16 weeks were analyzed by western blot. Interestingly, increased Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor abundance, MAP2 phosphorylation and PKA activity were observed. Overall, we show that a cyclic KD regulates brain function and memory even when it is administered at late mid-life and significantly triggers several molecular features of long-term administration, including the PKA signaling pathway and cytoskeleton dynamics, thus promoting synaptic plasticity at advanced age.

Basic Helix Loop Helix Enhancer 40 Null Mice Have Impaired Synaptic Plasticity, Enhanced Neuronal Excitability, and Decreased Expression of Insulin Degrading Enzyme

Project description:Basic helix loop helix enhancer 40 (Bhlhe40) is a transcription factor expressed in rodent hippocampus, however, its role in neuronal function is not well understood. Here, we used Bhlhe40 null mice on a congenic C57Bl6/J background (Bhlhe40 KO) to investigate the impact of Bhlhe40 on neuronal excitability and synaptic plasticity. A whole genome expression array predicted that Bhlhe40 KO mice have up-regulated insulin-related pathways and down-regulated neuronal signaling-related pathways in the hippocampus. We validated that insulin degrading enzyme mRNA (Ide) and IDE protein are significantly downregulated in Bhlhe40 KO hippocampi. No significant difference was observed in hippocampal insulin levels. In hippocampal slices, we found CA1 neurons have increased miniature excitatory post-synaptic current (mEPSC) amplitude and decreased inhibitory post-synaptic current (IPSC) amplitude, indicating hyper-excitability in CA1 neurons in Bhlhe40 KO mice. At CA1 synapses, we found a reduction in long term potentiation (LTP) and long term depression (LTD), indicating an impairment in hippocampal synaptic plasticity in Bhlhe40 KO hippocampal slices. Bhlhe40 KO mice displayed no difference in seizure response to the convulsant kainic acid (KA) relative to controls. We found that while Bhlhe40 KO mice have decreased exploratory behavior they do not display alterations in spatial learning and memory. Together this suggests that Bhlhe40 plays a role in modulating neuronal excitability and synaptic plasticity ex vivo, however, Bhlhe40 alone does not play a significant role in seizure susceptibility and learning and memory in vivo. In addition, based on the reduction in IDE protein levels in these mice, there may be dysregulation of other known IDE substrates, namely insulin growth factor (Igf)-1, Igf-2, and Amyloid beta (Aβ).
