Effect of fasting and ketogenic diet on hippocampal astrocytes in vivo
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: To understand the transcriptional effect of fasting and feeding a ketogenic diet on mouse CNS astrocytes, we performed translating ribosomal affinity purification (TRAP) of mRNAs immunoprecipitated from hippocampus. TRAP mice express a ribosomal epitope tag upon Cre-induced recombination that can be immunoprecipitated following activation. We measured the abundance of actively translating mRNAs from a ribosomal pull-down that came from adult astrocyte (Aldh1l1-Cre)-specific TRAP mice that were subjected to one of three dietary conditions: four weeks of normal chow diet, four weeks of ketogenic diet (high-fat, low-carbohydrate)43, or an 18-hour fast. Immediately following the respective diets, forebrain and hippocampus was harvested from all groups, ribosomes were immunoprecipitated, and actively translating mRNAs in the ribosomes were purified.
