Project description:Histone acetylation is essential for memory formation and provides a drug target to treat dementia. The histone acetylation landscape is shaped by chromatin writer and eraser proteins. In contrast, little is known about the neural activity of chromatin readers that link chromatin state to cellular function. Here, we tested the effect of JQ1 – a small molecule inhibitor of the chromatin readers BRD2, BRD3, BRD4 and BRDT – on associative and spatial memory tasks and on synaptic plasticity and found that it is able to enhance cognitive performance and long-term potentiation in wildtype animals and in a mouse model for amyloid deposition. JQ1 elicited a hippocampal gene expression program associated with ion channel activity, transcription and DNA repair. Our findings suggest that JQ1 could be used as a therapy against dementia and should be further tested in the context of learning and memory.

Project description:Neuronal plasticity of the inner retina has been observed in response to photoreceptor degeneration. Typically, this phenomenon has been considered maladaptive and may preclude vision restoration in the blind. However, several recent studies utilizing triggered photoreceptor ablation have shown adaptive responses in bipolar cell dendrites expected to support normal vision. Whether such homeostatic plasticity occurs during progressive photoreceptor degenerative disease to help maintain normal visual behavior is unknown. We addressed these issues in an established mouse model of Retinitis Pigmentosa caused by the P23H mutation in rhodopsin. We show robust modulation of the retinal transcriptomic network reminiscent of the neurodevelopmental state as well as potentiation of rod – rod bipolar cell signaling following rod photoreceptor degeneration. Additionally, we found highly sensitive night vision in P23H mice even when more than half of the rod photoreceptors were lost. The results implicate retinal adaptation leading to persistent visual function during photoreceptor degenerative disease.

Project description:As a metabolic disease, diabetes often leads to health complications such as heart failure, nephropathy, neurological disorders, and vision loss. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) affects as many as 100 million people worldwide. The mechanism of DR is complex and known to impact both neural and vascular components in the retina. While recent advances in the field have identified major cellular signaling contributing to DR pathogenesis, little has been reported on the protein post-translational modifications (PTM) -known to define protein localization, function, and activity -in the diabetic retina overall. Protein glycosylation is the enzymatic addition of carbohydrates to proteins, which can influence many protein attributes including folding, stability, function, and subcellular localization. Olinked glycosylation is the addition of sugars to an oxygen atom in amino acids with a free oxygen atom in their side chain (i.e., threonine, serine). To date, more than 100 congenital disorders of glycosylation have been described. However, no studies have identified the retinal O-linked glycoproteome in health or disease. With a critical need to expedite the discovery of PTMomics in diabetic retinas, we identified both global changes in protein levels and the retinal O-glycoproteome of control and diabetic mice. Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry-based glycoproteomics and high throughput screening identified proteins differentially glycosylated in the retinas of wildtype and diabetic mice. Here, we provide evidence that diabetes shifts O-glycosylation of metabolic and synaptic proteins in the retina.

Project description:We have created a Myrf knockdown (Myrf +/−) mutant mouse strain and investigated the molecular phenotype of reduced MYRF expression in the retina using RNA-sequencing. As an initial finding, photoreceptor defects with impaired functions of spatial vision and retinal electrophysiology were found in Myrf +/− mice, indicating an important role of MYRF in retinal development.It was revealed through RNA-seq that the expression of phototransduction and estrogen signaling pathways reduced in Myrf +/− mice. Thus, alterations of phototransduction and estrogen signaling pathways seem to play important roles in connecting Myrf deficiency with retinal photoreceptor defects.

Project description:To better comprehend how synaptic scaling affects the neuronal transcriptome, we used the whole genome microarray expression profiling in hippocampal cultures treated with AMPARs and synaptic NMDARs antagonists for 9h and 26h, or under control conditions. Gene ontology enrichment analysis showed altered transcripts associated with synaptic signalling and synaptic plasticity classes, including transcripts of several proteins already associated with synaptic scaling mechanisms.

Project description:Visual processing depends on sensitive and balanced synaptic neurotransmission. Extracellular matrix proteins in the environment of cells are key modulators in synaptogenesis and synaptic plasticity. In the present study, we provide evidence that the combined loss of the four extracellular matrix components brevican, neurocan, tenascin-C and tenascin-R in quadruple knockout mice leads to severe retinal dysfunction and diminished visual motion processing in vivo. Remarkably, impaired visual motion processing was accompanied by a developmental loss of cholinergic direction-selective starburst amacrine cells. Additionally, we noted imbalance of inhibitory and excitatory synaptic signaling in the quadruple knockout retina. Collectively, the study offers novel insights into the functional importance of four key extracellular matrix proteins for retinal function, visual motion processing and synaptic signaling.

Project description:We identified 737 differentially expressed genes, including 430 upregulated genes and 307 downregulated genes, by calculating the gene FPKM in each sample and conducting differential gene analysis. Gene ontology analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis suggested that blue light influenced visual perception, sensory perception of light stimulus, phototransduction, and JAK-STAT signaling pathways. Differential lncRNA, circRNA and miRNA analysis suggested that blue light exposure affected pathways for retinal cone cell development and phototransduction, among others.
