Strain differences in responsiveness to chronic restraint stress affect remote contextual fear memory and blood transcriptomics

ABSTRACT: Fear memory regulation is thought to be similar between humans and animals, and the role of stress in altering remote memory is little explored. Since individual variation in stress reactivity exists, should stress alter remote memory, invividuals with differing stress-reactivity would affect it to various degree. We evaluate this question using two strains of rats with differing stress-reactivity. The Fisher 344 (F344) strain is known to have active coping style and represent normal stress-reactivity, while the Wistar–Kyoto (WKY) rat shows passive coping strategies and heightened stress-reactivity. Male animals were exposed contextual fear conditioning (CFC) and four weeks later, chronic restraint stress (CRS) or no stress (NS) was administered for two weeks. Remote memory, immediate stress response to a second CFC, and reinstated fear memory was measured. Both recent and reinstated fear memory were greater in F344s, regardless of the stress status, In contrast, remote memory was attenuated in F344 only, concurring with their increased immediate stress responsive behavior after CRS. To find if this strain-specific response to CRS can be mirrored by transcriptomic changes in the blood, RNA sequencing was carried out. Overlapping differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between NS vs. CRS in the blood of F344 and WKY suggest a convergence of stress-related molecular mechanisms, independent of stress-reactivity. In contrast, DEGs unique to the F344 and the WKY stress responses are divergent in their functionality and networks, beyond that of strain differences in their non-stressed state. These unique DEGs than could be implicated as biomarkers stress-reactivity.

Hippocampal neurons’ cytosolic and membrane-bound ribosomal transcript profiles are differentially regulated by learning and subsequent sleep

Project description:The hippocampus is essential for consolidating transient experiences into long-lasting memories. Memory consolidation is facilitated by postlearning sleep, although the underlying cellular mechanisms are largely unknown. We took an unbiased approach to this question by using a mouse model of hippocampally mediated, sleep-dependent memory consolidation (contextual fear memory). Because synaptic plasticity is associated with changes to both neuronal cell membranes (e.g., receptors) and cytosol (e.g., cytoskeletal elements), we characterized how these cell compartments are affected by learning and subsequent sleep or sleep deprivation (SD). Translating ribosome affinity purification was used to profile ribosome-associated RNAs in different subcellular compartments (cytosol and membrane) and in different cell populations (whole hippocampus, Camk2a+ neurons, or highly active neurons with phosphorylated ribosomal subunit S6 [pS6+]). We examined how transcript profiles change as a function of sleep versus SD and prior learning (contextual fear conditioning; CFC). While sleep loss altered many cytosolic ribosomal transcripts, CFC altered almost none, and CFC-driven changes were occluded by subsequent SD. In striking contrast, SD altered few transcripts on membrane-bound (MB) ribosomes, while learning altered many more (including long non-coding RNAs [lncRNAs]). The cellular pathways most affected by CFC were involved in structural remodeling. Comparisons of post-CFC MB transcript profiles between sleeping and SD mice implicated changes in cellular metabolism in Camk2a+ neurons and protein synthesis in highly active pS6+ (putative "engram") neurons as biological processes disrupted by SD. These findings provide insights into how learning affects hippocampal neurons and suggest that the effects of SD on memory consolidation are cell type and subcellular compartment specific.

Cell types in the mouse amygdala and their transcriptional response to fear conditioning

Project description:We performed single-cell RNA-seq of full, microdissected and dissociated mouse amygdala, 2h, 8h or 24h after tone-cued fear conditioning (CFC), and 2h after recall (exposure to CS only, 24h post-CFC), and naive homecage controls.

Contextual fear conditioning induced transcriptional changes in hippocampal CA1 neurons

Project description:The goal of our study was to assess whether the experience can regulate specific lncRNAs within the hippocampus and their role in associative memory. To address this, we carried out unbiased analyses of gene expression in CA1-hippocampal neurons to identify lncRNA changes induced by contextual fear conditioning (CFC).

Sequencing to determine the effect of neuronal IL-1 receptor knockout and microglia depletion on stress-induced changes to the neuronal transcriptome

Project description:Chronic stress is associated with increased anxiety, cognitive deficits, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Repeated social defeat (RSD) in mice causes long-term stress-sensitization associated with increased microglia activation, monocyte accumulation, and enhanced interleukin (IL)-1 signaling in endothelia and neurons. With stress-sensitization, mice have amplified neuronal, immune, and behavioral responses to acute stress 24d later. This is clinically relevant as it shares key aspects with post-traumatic-stress-disorder. The mechanisms underlying stress-sensitization are unclear, but enhanced fear memory may be critical. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of microglia and IL-1R1 signaling in neurons in the development of sensitization and increased fear memory after RSD. The goal of this study was to sequence nuclei from the hippocampus to determine downstream pathways of neuronal IL-1R1 (nIL-1R1) and microglia reactivity.

GABAergic neuronal IL-4R mediates T cell effect on memory [Il4rkoT]

Project description:The immune and nervous systems are highly interactive, however, little is known about how immune cells and their derived molecules impact brain function. Here we show that T cells play a critical role in retrieval of contextual fear conditioning (CFC) memory. Single-nuclei sequencing (snRNAseq) of engram neurons and non-engram neurons from the dentate gyrus one day after CFC learning revealed new evidence about differential expression of immune-related and synaptic plasticity-related genes, in SCID vs. wild-type mice. These findings present a comprehensive picture on how T cells and their derived cytokines could regulate memory retrieval and provide new insights into the nature of neuroimmune interactions at the transcriptional level in neurons. Overall, restoration of T cells or IL-4R signaling might lead to selective rescue of memory retrieval, and proffer a valuable strategy for treating memory loss.

Remote memory and cortical synaptic plasticity require neuronal CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF), a central organizer of 3D chromatin architecture

Project description:Molecular mechanism of long-term memory has been extensively studied in the context of hippocampus-dependent recent memory examined within several days; however, months-old remote memory maintained in the cortex for long-term has not much been investigated at molecular levels yet. Various epigenetic mechanisms are known to be important for long-term memory, but how 3D chromatin architecture and its regulator molecules contribute to neuronal plasticity and memory consolidation are still largely unknown. To assess memory upon perturbation of 3D chromatin structure, we chose CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF), a seven-zinc finger protein well known for its role as a transcription factor and a chromatin regulator, and created the conditional knockout (cKO) mice, in which CTCF is lost in neurons during adulthood. Our CTCF cKO mice showed normal recent memory in contextual fear conditioning and spatial water maze task. However, they showed remarkable impairments in remote memory in both tasks. Underlying the remote memory-specific phenotypes, we found that loss of CTCF disrupts cortical long-term potentiation (LTP) but not hippocampal LTP. Through RNA-sequencing, we found that CTCF KD cultured cortical neurons have altered the expression of hundreds of genes, some of which we uncovered to be regulated by neuronal activity. These results suggest that remote memory storage in the cortex requires CTCF-mediated chromatin regulation in neurons while recent memory formation in the hippocampus does not.

Specific loss of remote fear memory by knockdown of a neuron-specific nucleosome remodeling factor BAF53b in the amygdala

Project description:Despite recent advances, molecular events and mechanisms involved in long-lasting memory formation are unclear. Here, we report a critical role for nucleosome remodeling factor BAF53b in mice. We observed an increase of BAF53b expression beyond 24 h after fear conditioning in the lateral amygdala, which was crucial for memory retention at remote time. RNA-seq analyses and behavioral rescue experiments identified fibroblast growth factor-1 (FGF1) as a candidate downstream effector.
