Sex differences in transcriptome profiles in hypothalamic and extrahypothalamic nuclei of rats impacted by adolescent stress

ABSTRACT: In order to generate data worthy of translatability to known sex differences in human stress-induced maladies, adolescent male and female rats underwent chronic restraint stress (stress) or not (nonstress, control) from postnatal day (PD)32-PD44. Specific brain nuclei (PVN, VMH, ARC, BLA, CEA, CA1, CA3, DG, and OFC) were analyzed for genome-wide transcriptome using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). Global transcriptome profiles were generated, and genes differentially expressed (DE) due to stress were identified for each nuclear subregion listed. Canonical pathway analyses identified DE genes that are likely crucial for causing well-known stress-induced sex differences.

Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms for Differential Effects of Chronic Social Isolation Stress in Males and Females

Project description:Chronic social isolation stress during adolescence induces susceptibility for neuropsychiatric disorders. Here we show that 5-week post-weaning isolation stress induces sex-specific behavioral abnormalities and neuronal activity changes in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), basal lateral amygdala (BLA), and ventral tegmental area (VTA). Chemogenetic manipulation, optogenetic recording, and in vivo calcium imaging identify that the PFC to BLA pathway is causally linked to heightened aggression in stressed males, and the PFC to VTA pathway is causally linked to social withdrawal in stressed females. Isolation stress induces genome-wide transcriptional alterations in a region-specific manner. Particularly, the upregulated genes in BLA of stressed males are under the control of activated transcription factor CREB, and CREB inhibition in BLA normalizes gene expression and reverses aggressive behaviors. On the other hand, neuropeptide Hcrt (Hypocretin/Orexin) is among the top-ranking downregulated genes in VTA of stressed females, and Orexin-A treatment rescues social withdrawal. These results have revealed molecular mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets for stress-related mental illness.

Analysis of changes in the BLA and vmPFC brain region of control mice and global cerebral ischemia mice after acute stress

Project description:It is known that the eCB 2-AG is synthesized in postsynaptic cells and released into synaptic clefts when needed. As we observed that acute stress prominently increased eCBs in vmPFC-BLA synapses and that inhibited expression of 2-AG synthase gene Dagla in vmPFC-BLA synapses blocked stress-induced PGCID, we plausibly hypothesized that transient GCI increased 2-AG biosynthesis in BLA neurons, leading to stress-induced increase of 2-AG release into vmPFC-BLA synapses. To test this hypothesis, we employed single-cell sequencing to examine whether GCI mice, in comparison with sham mice, showed increased mRNA expression of the Dagla in c-fos positive BLA and vmPFC cells of acute stress-treated mice

Astrocytic ZBTB7A promotes orbitofrontal cortex dysfunction associated with Major Depressive Disorder [MDD]

Project description:Overall risk for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is determined by complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors that influence epigenetic regulation of neuroplasticity and stress pathways1,2. These mechanisms are specific to the distinct regulatory context within regionally-defined brain cell-types3,4. Here, we employed genome-wide chromatin accessibility profiling of neuronal vs. non-neuronal cells in orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) to capture regulatory signatures of MDD. We mapped genetic risk for MDD to active promoters of non-neuronal cell-types in OFC and identified MDD-specific open chromatin regions, which were differentially accessible exclusively in non-neuronal cells. Characterization of these loci revealed a key role for astrocyte dysfunction, and implicated the chromatin remodeling protein ZBTB7A, which coordinates wide-ranging cellular activation programs, including NF-kB inflammatory transcription5. In mice, astrocyte-specific knockdown of Zbtb7a reversed chromatin remodeling, reactive astrocyte transcription, and behavioral deficits associated with chronic stress. Conversely, ZBTB7A overexpression in OFC astrocytes induced stress-related behavioral deficits, promoted widespread inflammatory gene expression, and drove pathophysiological OFC neuronal hyperactivity in response to a mild subthreshold stressor. Our data highlight a critical role for OFC astrocytes in the bidirectional regulation of stress vulnerability and pinpoint ZBTB7A as a key factor mediating maladaptive astrocyte plasticity and OFC neuronal hyperexcitability in MDD.

Deregulated Adhesion Program in Palatal Keratinocytes of Orofacial Cleft Patients

Project description:Orofacial clefts (OFCs) are the most frequent craniofacial birth defects. An orofacial cleft (OFC) occurs as a result of deviations in palatogenesis. Cell proliferation, differentiation, adhesion, migration and apoptosis are crucial in palatogenesis. We hypothesized that deregulation of these processes in oral keratinocytes contributes to OFC. We performed microarray expression analysis on palatal keratinocytes from OFC and non-OFC individuals. Principal component analysis showed a clear difference in gene expression with 24 and 17% for the first and second component respectively. In OFC cells, 228 genes were differentially expressed (p<0.001). Gene ontology analysis showed enrichment of genes involved in β1 integrin-mediated adhesion and migration, as well as in P-cadherin expression. A scratch assay demonstrated reduced migration of OFC keratinocytes (343.6 ± 29.62 μm) vs. non-OFC keratinocytes (503.4 ± 41.81 μm, p<0.05). Our results indicate that adhesion and migration are deregulated in OFC keratinocytes, which might contribute to OFC pathogenesis.

Estrogen receptor alpha signaling establishes a sexually dimorphic regulatory node of energy expenditure

Project description:Estrogen receptor a (ERa) signaling in the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) contributes to energy homeostasis by modulating physical activity and thermogenesis. However, the precise neuronal populations involved remain undefined. Using single-cell RNA transcriptomics and in situ hybridization, we describe six neuronal populations in the mouse VMH. ERa is enriched in populations showing sex biased expression of reprimo (Rprm), tachykinin 1 (Tac1), and prodynorphin (Pdyn). Female biased expression of Tac1 and Rprm is patterned by ERa-dependent repression during male development, whereas male biased expression of Pdyn is maintained by circulating testicular hormone in adulthood. Chemogenetic activation of ERa+ VMH neurons stimulates heat generation and movement in both sexes. However, silencing Rprm gene function increases core temperature selectively in females and ectopic Rprm expression in males is associated with reduced core temperature. Together these findings reveal a role for Rprm in temperature regulation and ERa in the masculinization of neuron populations that underlie energy expenditure.

Effect of chronic restraint stress or repeated activation of PVN neurons responding to restraint stress on gene expression of white adipose tissues (iWAT and eWAT) during adipogenesis of mice

Project description:Comorbid depression and type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with more severe symptoms, higher suicide risk and poorer prognosis than those with either disease alone. However, the mechanisms underlying this comorbidity remain unclear. Here, we describe a brain–sympathetic nerve–adipose circuit originating in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) that is crucial for the depressive-like behaviours and insulin resistance induced by chronic restraint stress. A subset of PVN neurons that were traced from WAT and activated under restraint stress, and chemogenetic manipulations demonstrated the sufficiency and necessity of those PVN neurons for changes in sympathetic innervation of adipose tissue and subsequent depression and insulin resistance induced by chronic stress. We further identify candidate adipokines for the development of depression and insulin resistance, and clarify the molecular mechanism by which the dynamics of sympathetic tone are translated into changes in the expression of candidate adipokines.

Novel aspects of the transcriptional stress response in the paraventricular nucleus of the mouse strains DBA/2J and C57BL/6J

Project description:The pivotal role of stress in the precipitation of psychiatric diseases is generally accepted. To further elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms, gene networks and signalling cascades, we investigated the impact of an acute stressor, forced swimming, on the gene expression profile in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN). We performed this study in C57BL/6J and DBA/2J mice, which are known to differ in their reaction to stress. Mice were exposed to forced swimming as stressor, brains were dissected 4h and 8h after stress, both from stressed and unstressed animals, and the RNA profiles from the PVN were evaluated by microarray analysis. Keywords: time course, treatment response, strain differences
