Genomewide effects of regular caffeine intake on hippocampal metabolism and learning-dependent transcription [RNA-Seq]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Caffeine is the most widely consumed psychoactive substance worldwide. Strikingly, molecular pathways engaged by its regular consumption remain unclear. We herein addressed the mechanisms associated with habitual (chronic) caffeine consumption in the mouse hippocampus using untargeted orthogonal-omics techniques. Our results revealed that caffeine exerts concerted pleiotropic effects in the hippocampus, at the epigenomic, proteomic and metabolomic levels, aimed at lowering metabolic-related processes while re-setting learning-associated transcriptome associated with neuronal activity. These processes involve BDNF, CREB and adenosine A2A receptors-related mechanisms. Altogether, these findings suggest that regular intake of caffeine improves the signal-to-noise ratio during information encoding in learning and bolsters the salience of information encoding in brain circuits.
