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. Experiment Overall Design: For each experimental group (SON-WKY, PVN-WKY, NIL-WKY, SON-SD, PVN-SD, NIL-SD, PVN-WISTAR) five chips were hybridised with independantly pooled RNA from a biological n=5.

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.

Project description:Purpose: To investigate the underlying regulatory mechanism of neurodegeneration induced by hypothalamic injury from basic gene expression profile, we extracted RNA from hypothalamic supraoptic nucleus (SON) and paraventricular nucleus (PVN) RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), at day 1 and day 7 after PEL surgery. Results: We identified 1711 differentially expressed genes (DEGs, defined as adjust p value < 0.05) between PEL_1d (day 1 after PEL) and control group, 185 DEGs between PEL_7d (day 7 after PEL) and control group, respectively. Conclusions: We revealed that RNA-seq based transcriptome characterization would expedite genetic network analyses of hypothalamic SON, PVN and permit the dissection of complex biologic functions during the process of central diabetes insipidus after PEL surgery.

Project description:Background/Aims: Furosemide is a loop diuretic widely used in clinical practice for the treatment of oedema and hypertension. The aim of this study was to determine physiological and molecular changes in the hypothalamic-neurohypophysial system as a consequence of furosemide-induced sodium depletion. Methods: Male rats were sodium depleted by acute furosemide injection (10 and 30 mg/kg) followed by access to low sodium diet and distilled water for 24 h. The renal and behavioural consequences were evaluated, while blood and brains were collected to evaluate the neuroendocrine and gene expression responses. Results: Furosemide treatment acutely increases urinary sodium and water excretion. After 24 h, water and food intake were reduced, while plasma angiotensin II and corticosterone were increased. After hypertonic saline presentation, sodium-depleted rats showed higher preference for salt. Interrogation using RNA sequencing revealed the expression of 94 genes significantly altered in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of sodium-depleted rats (31 upregulated and 63 downregulated). Out of 9 genes chosen, 5 were validated by quantitative PCR in the PVN (upregulated: Ephx2, Ndnf and Vwf; downregulated: Caprin2 and Opn3). The same genes were also assessed in the supraoptic nucleus (SON, upregulated: Tnnt1, Mis18a, Nr1d1 and Dbp; downregulated: Caprin2 and Opn3). As a result of these plastic transcriptome changes, vasopressin expression was decreased in PVN and SON, whilst vasopressin and oxytocin levels were reduced in plasma. Conclusions: We thus have identified novel genes that might regulate vasopressin gene expression in the hypothalamus controlling the magnocellular neurons secretory response to body sodium depletion and consequently hypotonic stress.
