Transcriptomics and chromatin alterations - Septal lncRNA Meg3 is involved in social fear in mice

ABSTRACT: Social anxiety disorder is characterized by a persistent and abnormal fear and avoidance of social situations, but available treatment options are rather unspecific. Using an established mouse social fear conditioning (SFC) paradigm, we profiled gene expression and chromatin alterations after acquisition and extinction of social fear within the septum, a brain region important for social fear and social behaviors. We validated coding and non-coding RNAs and found specific isoforms of the long non-coding RNA Meg3 to be regulated depending on the success of social fear extinction. In vivo knockdown of specific Meg3 isoforms in conditioned mice resulted in impaired social fear extinction, as revealed by lower social investigation levels at the end of the extinction training, accompanied with increased baseline activity of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Using ATAC-Seq and CUT&RUN, we characterized alterations in chromatin level after social fear extinction and identified Auts2 and Dclk3 as potential targets of Meg3.

Functional Involvement of Septal miR-132 in Extinction and Oxytocin-mediated Reversal of Social Fear

Project description:Social interactions are critical components for the survival of mammalian biology and evolution. Dysregulation of social behavior often leads to psychopathologies such as social anxiety disorder, which is characterized by an intense fear and avoidance of social situations. Using the social fear conditioning (SFC) paradigm, we analyzed expression levels of miR-132-3p and miR-124-3p within the septum, a brain region essential for social behavior and fear, after acquisition and extinction of social fear. Functional in vivo approaches using pharmacology, functional inhibition of miR-132-3p, viral miR-132 overexpression and shRNA-mediated knockdown of miR-132-3p within oxytocin receptor positive neurons confirmed septal miR-132-3p to be involved in social fear extinction and the oxytocin-mediated reversal of social fear. Moreover, Argonaute-RNA-co-immunoprecipitation-microarray analysis and further target mRNA quantification, depicted growth differentiation factor-5 (GDF-5) to be involved in miR-132-3p-mediated regulation of social fear extinction. Local application of GDF-5 resulted in impaired social fear extinction, an effect which seems to be mediated by miR-132-3p. In summary, we show that septal miR-132-3p is functionally involved in social fear extinction learning and oxytocin-mediated reversal of social fear.

Synaptic and transcriptomic features of fear matrix pyramidal neurons predict inefficient fear extinction

Project description:Trauma-related disorders arise from inefficient fear extinction and have immeasurable social and economic costs. Here, we characterized mouse phenotypes that spontaneously show individual differences in adaptive or maladaptive fear extinction and, before the traumatic experience, we found that specific morphological, electrophysiological and transcriptomic patterns of fear matrix pyramidal neurons predispose to trauma-related disorders. Finally, by using an optogenetic approach we showed the possibility to rescue the inefficient fear extinction activating fear matrix infralimbic pyramidal neurons

Meg3 regulated genes in pancreatic beta cells

Project description:Meg3 is a long non-coding RNA. It's target genes are unknown. The mouse pancreatic beta cell line MIN6-4N was used to assess the expression of genes upon stable Meg3 overexpression Stable cell lines were isolated that have integated pcDNA3.1 or pcDNA3.1-mMeg3.The cells were processed for RNA isolation. The level of Meg3 expression was assessed by RT-PCR. RNA preps were used for microarray analysis.

overexpression/knockdown MEG3 in C2C12 cell lines

Project description:MEG3 was known as a growth suppressor in tumor cells by activating p53. Besides, MEG3 could regulate transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling pathway, which is the key regulator of skeletal myogenesis and can enhance the proliferation of myogenic cells. Previous study also showed MEG3 was highly expressed in the paraxial mesoderm and probably regulated muscle development. To investigate the potential function of MEG3 in muscle development, we detected the expression levels of protein-coding genes after MEG3 over-expression or knockdown in C2C12 cell line using microarrays.

LincRNAs involved in DCS-induced fear extinction: Shedding light on the transcriptomic dark matter

Project description:There is a growing appreciation of the role of non-coding RNAs in the regulation of gene and protein expression. Long non-coding RNAs can modulate splicing by hybridizing with precursor messenger RNAs (pre-mRNAs) and influence RNA editing, mRNA stability, translation activation and microRNA-mRNA interactions by binding to mature mRNAs. LncRNAs are highly abundant in the brain and have been implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders. Long intergenic non-coding RNAs are the largest subclass of lncRNAs and play a crucial role in gene regulation. We used RNA sequencing and bioinformatic analyses to identify lincRNAs and their predicted mRNA targets associated with fear extinction that was induced by intra-hippocampally administered D-cycloserine in an animal model investigating the core phenotypes of PTSD. We identified 43 differentially expressed fear extinction related lincRNAs and 190 differentially expressed fear extinction related mRNAs. Eight of these lincRNAs were predicted to interact with and regulate 108 of these mRNAs and seven lincRNAs were predicted to interact with 22 of their pre-mRNA transcripts. On the basis of the functions of their target RNAs, we inferred that these lincRNAs bind to nucleotides, ribonucleotides and proteins and subsequently influence nervous system development, and morphology, immune system functioning, and are associated with nervous system and mental health disorders. Quantitative trait loci that overlapped with fear extinction related lincRNAs, included serum corticosterone level, neuroinflammation, anxiety, stress and despair related responses. This is the first study to identify lincRNAs and their RNA targets with a putative role in transcriptional regulation during fear extinction.

Reconceptualising resilience within a translational framework is supported by unique and brain-region specific transcriptional signatures in mice

Project description:Chronic social defeat (CSD) in mice has been increasingly employed in experimental resilience research. Particularly, the degree of CSD-induced social avoidance is used to classify animals into resilient (socially non-avoidant) versus susceptible (avoidant). Inspired by human data pointing to threat-safety discrimination and responsiveness to extinction training of aversive memories as characteristics of resilient individuals, we here describe a translationally informed stratification which identified three phenotypic subgroups of mice following CSD: the Discriminating-avoiders, characterised by successful social threat-safety discrimination and successful extinction of social avoidance; the Indiscriminate-avoiders, showing fear generalisation, and the Non-avoiders (absence of social avoidance) displaying impaired conditioned learning. Furthermore, and supporting the biological validity of our approach, we uncovered subgroup-specific transcriptional signatures in classical fear conditioning and anxiety-related brain regions. Our reconceptualisation of resilience in mice refines the currently used dichotomous classification and contributes to advancing future translational approaches.

Meg3 binding sites in mouse insulinoma cells

Project description:We have shown that increased β-cell proliferation in functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (insulinomas) correlated with reduced expression of the long non-coding RNA Meg3 and increased expression of the oncogenic receptor c-Met. To investigate the target binding sites of Meg3 in and around the c-Met gene, we did ChIRP-Seq using biotinylated probes from the mouse Meg3 RNA sequence. This would help us better understand how Meg3 regulates ithe expression of c-Met to control β-cell proliferation in insulinoma cells.
