Project description:Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and attacks of muscle atonia triggered by strong emotions (cataplexy). The best biological marker of narcolepsy is orexin deficiency with dramatic loss in hypothalamic orexin-producing neurons. Together with a tight HLA and T-cell receptor alpha(5) association, narcolepsy is believed to be autoimmune although all attempts to prove it have failed.To characterize orexin specific peptides we produced a transgenic mouse model to access to the orexin neurons transcription profile. We generated BAC-based transgenic mice by replacing the orexin coding sequence by a flag-tagged poly(A) binding protein (Pabp1) cDNA sequence. The basis of this construct is to take advantage of the ability of Pabp1 to bind to the poly(A) tails of mRNAs in vivo. Thus mRNAs from orexin cells are expected to be enriched by cross-linking them to the flag-tagged PABP and then co-immunoprecipitating this complex with a specific anti-flag monoclonal antibody.

Project description:Orexin/hypocretin receptor type 2 (Ox2R), which is widely expressed in the brain, receives orexin signals and modulates sleep and metabolism. Ox2R selective agonists are currently under clinical trials for narcolepsy treatment. Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether Ox2R exerts an inhibitory effect via Gi proteins in addition to an excitatory effect via Gq proteins. Here, we focused on Ox2R expression and function in MCH neurons, which have opposite roles to orexin neurons in sleep and metabolism regulation. Ox2R-expressing MCH neurons showed heterogeneity of RNA expression, and orexin B application in brain slices induced both excitatory and inhibitory responses in distinct MCH neuron populations. Ox2R inactivation in MCH neurons reduced transitions from NREM to REM sleep and impaired insulin sensitivity with hyperphagia. In conclusion, Ox2R mediates excitatory and inhibitory responses in MCH neuron subpopulations in vivo, which might regulate sleep and metabolism.

Project description:To gain insight into the molecular changes of sleep need, this study addresses gene expression changes in a subpopulation of neurons selectively activated by sleep deprivation. Whole brain expression analyses after 6h sleep deprivation clearly indicate that Homer1a is the best index of sleep need, consistently in all mouse strains analyzed. Transgenic mice expressing a FLAG-tagged poly(A)-binding protein (PABP) under the control of Homer1a promoter were generated. Because PABP binds the poly(A) tails of mRNA, affinity purification of FLAG-tagged PABP proteins from whole brain lysates, is expected to co-precipitate all mRNAs from neurons expressing Homer1a. Three other activity-induced genes (Ptgs2, Jph3, and Nptx2) were identified by this technique to be over-expressed after sleep loss. All four genes play a role in recovery from glutamate-induced neuronal hyperactivity. The consistent activation of Homer1a suggests a role for sleep in intracellular calcium homeostasis for protecting and recovering from the neuronal activation imposed by wakefulness.

Project description:The method of mRNA tagging was recently developed to isolate mRNA population from muscle tissues in Caenohabditis elegans. This method utilizes a FLAG-tagged poly(A)-binding protein (PABP), which can bind to poly(A)-tail of eukaryotic mRNA. Thus, the mRNA population from specific tissue, in which FLAG- tagged PABP is expressed, can be co-immunoprecipitated with FLAG-tagged PABP using FLAG-specific antibody. To evaluate the applicability of this method to isolate mRNA from specific tissue in Drosophila, we generated Rh1-GLA4/P{UAS-dPABP-FLAG} flies which express a FLAG-tagged PABP in photoreceptor cells R1-R6. We then prepared 4 individual mRNA samples (subset 1: GSM30900-30903)) presumably from photoreceptor cells of these flies by mRNA tagging method. We also prepared 4 individual mRNA samples (subset 2: GSM30832-30835) from whole heads of the Rh1-GAL4/P{UAS-dPABP-FLAG} flies, as well as 6 individual mRNA samples (subset 3: GSM30824-30828, GSM30830) from whole heads of wild type Canton-S flies. The total 14 mRNA samples were used to synthesize target separately and each of the resultant target was used to hybridize with 1 Drosophila Genome Array DrosGenome1 Affymetrix GeneChip. The raw data of the 14 microarray were imported to dChip program (version 1.3). The arrays were normalized to a common baseline array that has the median overall brightness. The expression value for each probe set on each chip was then calculated as model-based expression index (MBEI) by Perfect Match-only model. By comparing the results of subset 1 and subset 2, we found most known photoreceptor-specific genes were indeed enriched by mRNA tagging. Through the comparison of the results of subset 2 and subset 3, we found the mRNAs of most genes known to be involved in fly visual function were underrepresented in subset 2, which could be due to squelching effect of GAL4. By combining the data of subset 1, 2 and 3, we were able to identify 11 new photoreceptor cell-enriched genes. Keywords: other

Project description:Narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) is a rare, chronic and disabling neurological disease causing excessive daytime sleepiness and cataplexy. NT1 is characterized pathologically by an almost complete loss of neurons producing the orexin neuropeptides in the lateral hypothalamus. Genetic and environmental factors strongly suggest the involvement of the immune system in the loss of orexin neurons. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), secreted locally and surrounding the central nervous system (CNS), represents an accessible window into CNS pathological processes. To gain insight into the biological and molecular changes in NT1 patients, we performed a comparative proteomics analysis of the CSF from 21 recent-onset NT1 patients and from two control groups: group 1 with somatoform disorders, and group 2 patients with hypersomnia other than NT1, to control for any potential effect of sleep disturbances on CSF composition. To achieve an optimal proteomic coverage analysis, the twelve most abundant CSF proteins were depleted, and samples were analyzed by nano-flow liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (nano-LC-MS/MS) using the latest generation of hybrid Orbitrap mass spectrometer. Our study allowed the identification and quantification of up to 1943 proteins, providing a remarkably deep analysis of the CSF proteome. Interestingly, gene set enrichment analysis indicated that the complement and coagulation systems were enriched and significantly activated in NT1 patients in both cohorts analyzed. Notably, the lectin and alternative complement pathway as well as the downstream lytic membrane attack complex were congruently increased in NT1. Our data suggest that the complement dysregulation in NT1 patients can contribute to immunopathology either by directly promoting tissue damage or as part of local inflammatory responses. We therefore reveal an altered composition of the CSF proteome in NT1 patients, which points to an ongoing inflammatory process contributed, at least in part, by the complement system.

Project description:We report the the 'translatome' of the nervous system in c.elegans by immunoprecipitating FLAG- epitope tagged RPL-18 expressed under a nervous system specific promoter. In addition we compared this to the nervous system specific 'translatome' in an alg-2 mutant background. As such we were able to determine the specifc effects of ALG-2 on the nervous sytem gene expression landscape.

Project description:To investigate the in vivo gene expression changes in Drosophila intestinal stem cells (ISCs) when OXPHOS is disrupted and the role of FOXO in regulating this process, we dissected midguts from 4 groups of adult flies: "esg-GAL4,tub-GAL80TS,UAS-nlsGFP/UAS-mitoXhoI;UAS-pAbp-FLAG/+ & homoplasmic mt:CoIsyn" (C group), "esg-GAL4,tub-GAL80TS,UAS-nlsGFP/UAS-mitoXhoI;UAS-pAbp-FLAG/+ & heteroplasmic mt:CoIT300I" (H group, also called M group), "esg-GAL4,tub-GAL80TS,UAS-nlsGFP/UAS-mitoXhoI;UAS-pAbp-FLAG/UAS-FOXO-IR & homoplasmic mt:CoIsyn" (FC group), "esg-GAL4,tub-GAL80TS,UAS-nlsGFP/UAS-mitoXhoI;UAS-pAbp-FLAG/UAS-FOXO-IR & heteroplasmic mt:CoIT300I" (FH group, also called FM group), ~200 midguts per group. The flies were initially obtained and maintained at 18 °C till 2 days after eclosion and were then heat-shocked at 37 ºC for 2 hours and maintained in 29 °C for 5 days. Thus, the ISCs of H and FH group flies were carrying the lethal homoplasmic mitoXhoI-resistant mt:CoIT300I mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs) with the wild-type mtDNAs eliminated by mitoXhoI and the OXPHOS disrupted. Meanwhile, the ISCs of C and FC group flies were still carrying wild-type-like but mitoXhoI-resistant mt:CoIsyn mtDNAs. Through the mRNA tagging method with the expressed FLAG-tagged poly(A)-binding protein (pAbp) and anti-FLAG affinity pull-down, We purified and compared mRNA transcriptome profiles (RNA-seq) of different ISCs groups in duplicates. We found about 10% of the mRNAs we detected were either up-regulated or down-regulated in the OXPHOS-disrupted (M group) ISCs compared with control (C group). The down-regulated pool included many genes involved in cell differentiation, proliferation, and growth regulation. The up-regulated pool was enriched in genes participating in various metabolic processes, including glycolysis and fatty acids synthesis. This result suggests a possible metabolic adaptation in response to the OXPHOS deficiency in M group ISCs. Importantly, knockdown of FOXO in OXPHOS-disrupted ISCs restored the expression level of more than 50% of the up- or down-regulated genes, indicating that transcriptional response to OXPHOS deficiency is partially mediated by FOXO. We also noticed that genes whose expressions were altered in OXPHOS-disrupted ISCs included many related to Notch signaling, indicating the mis-regulation of this signaling in these ISCs.

Project description:The orexins/hypocretins and their cognate G-protein coupled receptors have been widely studied due to their associations with various behaviors and cellular processes. However, the detailed downstream signaling cascades that mediate these effects are not completely understood. We report the generation of a neuronal model cell line that stably expresses orexin receptor 1 and an RNA-Seq analysis of changes in gene expression seen upon receptor activation. Upon treatment with orexin, several related families of related transcription factors are transcriptionally regulated, including the early growth response genes (Egr), the Kruppel-like factors (Klf), and the Nr4a subgroup of nuclear hormone receptors. Furthermore, the transcriptional effects observed showed a degree of similarity with data from in vivo sleep deprivation microarray studies, supporting the physiological relevance of the data set. These results provide new insight into the molecular signaling events that occur during orexin receptor 1 signaling and support a role for orexin signaling in the stimulation of wakefulness during sleep deprivation studies.

Project description:Orexins belong to the group of metabolism regulating factors connected mainly with the nervous system. Both biologically active neuropeptides, orexin A (OXA) and orexin B (OXB) are products of the proteolytic cleavage of common 130 amino-acid precursor – prepro-orexin (PPO). In the reproductive system orexins has been found to act not only on the endocrine, but also auto- and paracrine manner. In the present study we focused on the effect of OXA treatment on the global gene expression in the porcine myometrium during the most dynamic phase of the early pregnancy – the implantation period (days 15 to 16 of gestation).
