Project description:Ethanol inhibits the proliferation of neural stem cells in the fetal, adolescent, and adult brain. The consequences are cognitive deficits associated with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder and alcohol use disorder. We tested the hypothesis that ethanol affects progression through cell cycle checkpoints by differentially modifying transcriptional processes. Monolayer cultures of NS-5 neural stem cells were treated for 48 hr with the mitogenic agent FGF2 or the anti-mitogenic TGFβ1 in the absence or presence of ethanol. Cell cycle elongation was induced by a global down-regulation of genes involved in cell cycle progression, including the cyclin E system. Checkpoint regulation occurred downstream of p21 and Jun-oncogene signaling cascades. Thus, ethanol can affect cell cycle progression by altering transcript expression of strategic genes downstream of the G1/S checkpoint. NS5 neural stem cells were grown in Euromed Media supplemented with N2 and glutamine. Cells were plated on poly-ornathine and laminin in the presence of FGF2 (10 ng/ul) and EGF (10 ng/ul) for 24 hrs. Media was removed, cells were rinsed, and placed in growth factor free conditions for 4 hrs. NS5 cells were then exposed to one of four treatment for 48 hrs: FGF2 (10 ng/ul) only, FGF2 (10 ng/ul) and ethanol (400 mg/dl), TGF-beta1 (10 ng/ul) only, or TGF-beta1 (10 ng/ul) and ethanol (400 mg/dl). Total RNA was collected immediately following treatment.

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study to use ethanol-exposed human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived neural cells as models to investigate mRNA expression changes in the brains of subjects with alcohol use disorder (AUD). Methods: hESCs were differentiated into neural cells (mainly cortical interneurons), which were then cultured in media with or without ethanol (50-100 mM) for 7 days (by duplicate experiments). Total RNAs were extracted from hESC-derived neural cells (with or without ethanol exposure) for mRNA sequencing. The sequence reads were processed using the RNA-seq processing pipeline Pipeliner [Front Genet. 2019; 10:614] workflow. Ethanol-induced mRNA transcriptomic changes were analyzed by the Limma-Voom method. Results: When the significance level was set at FC>2.0 & P<0.01, 19 coding genes showed differential expression, and all of them were downregulated after a 7-day ethanol exposure. Conclusions: The hESC-derived neural cell model study can partially validate mRNA transcriptomic changes in postmortem brains of subjects with alcohol use disorder.

Project description:Gene expression was measured using microarrays in 8 hour postfertilization embryos, comparing control versus ethanol-treated (2 to 8 hours postfertilization) embryos. This experiment was performed to determine the gene expression changes that occur in response to ethanol treatment as a model of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) occurs when pregnant mothers consume alcohol, causing embryonic ethanol exposure and characteristic birth defects that include craniofacial, neural and cardiac defects. Gastrulation is a particularly sensitive developmental stage for teratogen exposure, and zebrafish is an outstanding model to study gastrulation and FASD. Epiboly (spreading blastomere cells over the yolk cell), prechordal plate migration and convergence/extension cell movements are sensitive to early ethanol exposure. Here, experiments are presented to characterize mechanisms of ethanol toxicity on epiboly and gastrulation. Epiboly mechanisms include blastomere radial intercalation cell movements and yolk cell microtubule cytoskeleton pulling the embryo to the vegetal pole. Both of these processes were disrupted by ethanol exposure. Ethanol effects on cell migration also indicated that cell adhesion was affected, which was confirmed by cell aggregation assays. E-cadherin cell adhesion molecule expression and distribution, which control epiboly and gastrulation, were not affected. Gene expression microarray analysis was used to identify potential causative factors for early development defects, and expression of the cell adhesion molecule protocadherin-18a (pcdh18a), which controls epiboly, was significantly reduced in ethanol-exposed embryos. Injecting pcdh18a synthetic mRNA in ethanol-treated embryos partially rescued epiboly cell movements, including enveloping layer cell shape changes. Together, data show that epiboly and gastrulation defects induced by ethanol are multifactorial, and include yolk cell (extraembryonic tissue) microtubule cytoskeleton disruption and blastomere adhesion defects, in part caused by reduced pcdh18a expression. Control vs. ethanol-treated zebrafish embryos that were treated from 2 to 8 hours postfertilization. Total RNA from control and ethanol-treated embryos were harvested at 8 hours postfertilization.

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study to use ethanol-exposed human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived neural cells as models to investigate microRNA expression changes in the brains of subjects with alcohol use disorder (AUD). Methods: hESCs were differentiated into neural cells (mainly cortical interneurons), which were then cultured in media with or without ethanol (50-100 mM) for 7 days (by duplicate experiments). Total RNAs were extracted from hESC-derived neural cells (with or without ethanol exposure) for small RNA sequencing. The sequence reads were processed using the Comprehensive Analysis Pipeline for miRNA Sequencing Data (CAP-miRseq) workflow. Ethanol-induced miRNA transcriptomic changes were analyzed by the Limma-Voom method. Results: A 7-day ethanol exposure led to differential expression of six miRNAs (absolute FC>2.0 & P<0.05) in hESC-derived cortical interneurons. Three miRNAs were upregulated (>2-fold increase & P<0.05), while three other miRNAs were downregulated (> 2-fold decrease & P < 0.05) due to ethanol exposure. Conclusions: The hESC-derived neural cell model study can partially validate miRNA transcriptomic changes in postmortem brains of subjects with alcohol use disorder.

Project description:Mouse model for Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Embryos exposed to alcohol in controlled environment to assess teratogenic effects. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is a leading developmental disorder. To date, a holistic view of molecular gene changes is largely unexplored. Using microarray analysis of whole embryo mouse culture with strict-control over alcohol-level, we found, directly related alcohol-metabolism, a reduction of retinol binding protein 1(Rbp1), and a, de novo expression of aldehyde dehydrogenase 1B1 (ALDH1B1). Remarkably, four key hemopoiesis genes (glycophorin A, adducin 2, beta-2 microglobulin, and ceruloplasmin) became absent, and many histone variants genes were reduced. Hypothesis-driven informatics analysis and intersection analysis of two independent experiments indicated that the altered genes are involved in cell growth, hemopoiesis, histone modification, eye and heart development, and a collective reduction in expression of growth factor genes (Igf1, Efemp1, Tieg, and Edil3) and neural specification genes (neurogenin, Sox 5, bHLHb5). Down-regulated neural specification phenotypes further supported the above findings. Further more, the gene expression profile indicated distinct subgroups which overlapped with the teratogenesis of the open- and the closed-neural tubes known in FAS. In summary, our data reveal genes alteration with causal potential for dysmorpology (e.g. retinoic acid, neuronal specification, and neurotrophic factors, and epigenetics related histone genes) and those downstream responsive genes related to alcohol metabolism, and developmental teratogenesis. Experiment Overall Design: Comparison of whole embryo gene expression after exposure to ethanol for 46 hours. Note 2 independent experiments completed.

Project description:Prenatal exposure to ethanol leads to a myriad of developmental disorders known as fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, often characterized by growth and mental retardation, central nervous system damage and specific craniofacial dysmorphic features. Although the exact mechanisms of ethanol toxicity are not well understood it is known that ethanol exposure during development affects the expression of several genes involved in cell cycle control, apoptosis and transcription. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are implicated in some of these processes however it is unclear if they are involved in ethanol-induced toxicity. Here we tested whether ethanol deregulates miRNA expression in zebrafish embryos and if a miRNA deregulation signature could be inferred. For this, zebrafish embryos were exposed to two different ethanol concentrations (1% and 1.5%) from 4 hours post-fertilization (hpf) to 24hpf. MicroRNA expression profiles revealed that ethanol exposure induces deregulation of miRNA expression significantly. Seven miRNAs are commonly up-regulated after both ethanol treatments, namely miR-153a, miR-725, miR-30d, let-7k, miR-100, miR-738 and miR-732, whereas downregulation of miR-23a, miR-203, let-7c, miR-128 and miR-193b is detected after 1% ethanol exposure only. Target prediction of deregulated miRNAs shows that putative targets are involved in cell cycle control, apoptosis and transcription, which are the main processes affected by ethanol toxicity. The overall study shows that the effects of ethanol on miRNA deregulation are dose-dependent and that miRNAs are relevant in the context of alcohol toxicity. Moreover, a miRNA toxicity signature for embryonic ethanol exposure was obtained.

Project description:Prenatal exposure to ethanol can cause fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), a prevalent and preventable pediatric disorder. Identifying genetic risk alleles for FASD is impossible in human populations, but the Drosophila genetic model can provide insights. We analyzed changes in genome-wide gene expression in 96 wild-derived inbred fly lines after exposure to alcohol during development. We found extensive sexual dimorphism in the effect of alcohol on gene expression along with effects on adult locomotor activity and sleep. Genetic networks associated with changes in gene expression include both protein-coding and non-coding transcripts, including a female-specific module of small nucleolar RNAs that regulate pseudouridylation of ribosomal RNA. These data support a regulatory role for non-coding elements in response to developmental alcohol exposure.
