Effect of depletion of Rac1 and Rac3 GTPases on gene expression in cells from the medial ganglionic eminence (MGE)

ABSTRACT: Το investigate the role of Rac1 and Rac3 GTPases in the development of MGE-derived cortical interneurons we generated a transgenic mice where both Rac1 and 3 were depleted from the medial ganglionic eminence. First we generated a conditional knockout for Rac1 (Vidaki et al. 2012) by crossing animals carrying a floxed allele of Rac1 (Rac1fl/fl) (the fourth and fifth exon of the Rac1 gene are flanked with loxP sites, Walmsley et al. 2003) to the Nkx2.1Tg(Cre) mice (Nkx2.1 transgenic Cre, Fogarty et al. 2007). The ROSA26fl-STOP-fl-YFP allele was also inserted as an independent marker (Srinivas et al. 2001). Next, we crossed the Rac1 conditional knockout with the Rac3 KO line (Corbetta et al. 2005) and obtained a mouse line where Rac1 and Rac3 were both depleted from the MGE-derived interneurons.

Rac -dependent signaling from keratinocytes promotes differentiation of intradermal white adipocytes

Project description:Rac signaling affects numerous downstream targets; however, few studies have established in vivo levels using model animals. In the present study, wWe generated mice with a single knockout (KO) of Rac1 (Keratin5 (K5)-Cre;Rac1flox/flox, hereafter Rac1-KO) and double KO of Rac1 and Rac3 (K5-Cre;Rac1flox/flox;Rac3−/−, hereafter Rac1/Rac3-DKO) in keratinocytes. Hairless phenotype in Rac1-KO mice was markedly exacerbated in Rac1/Rac3-DKO mice. Notably, Rac1-KO mice also exhibited thinner dermal white adipose tissue, which was considerably further reduced in Rac1/Rac3-DKO mice. DNA microarray using primary keratinocytes from Rac1/Rac3-DKO mice exhibited decreased mRNA levels of Bmp2, Bmp5, Fgf20, Fgf21, Fgfbp1, and Pdgf-alpha. Combinational treatment with BMP2 and FGF21, BMP2 and FGF20, or PDGF and FGF21 in culture medium, but not individual purified recombinant proteins, could differentiate 3T3-L1 fibroblasts into adipocytes, as could culture media obtained from primary keratinocytes (both human and mouse). Conversely, addition of anti-BMP2 or anti-FGF21 antibodies into the culture medium inhibited fibroblast differentiation. Furthermore, combinational treatment with BMP2 and FGF21 promoted adipocyte differentiation only of rat primary white adipocyte precursors but not rat primary brown adipocyte precursors. Notably, brown adipogenesis by FGF21 was inhibited by BMP2. Thus, we here proposed a novel paracrine pathway from keratinocytes to intradermal pre-adipocytes using Rac1/Rac3-DKO mice, which is Rac-dependent and functions as an inducer of white adipocytes.

DNA microarray analysis using murine cerebellum at P6

Project description:We analysed genes upregulated or down regulated by double deletion of Rac1 and Rac3 (Rac1/Rac3-DKO) in cerebellar granule neurons compared with control, using the external granule layer (EGL) dissected from Rac1/Rac3-DKO cerebellum at P6. Rac1-KO mouse is an inducible knockout, in which Rac1 is specifically deleted in cerebellar granule neurons under control of Atoh1 (also called Math1) promoter. In contrast, Rac3-KO mouse is a conventional/simple KO, in which Rac3 is deleted in all cells in the body. Total RNA from the medial portion of the EGL of Rac1/Rac3-DKO and control cerebella at P6 was extracted using TRIzol (Invitrogen). The quality and quantity of RNA were determined using the Agilent 2100 BioAnalyzer.

Decoupling astrocytes in adult mice impairs synaptic plasticity and spatial learning

Project description:To study the role of the gap junction coupled astrocytic network, we generated inducible double knockouts to selectively delete Cx30 and Cx43 from astrocytes in adult mice. Mice carrying loxP-flanked Gjb6 (Cx30fl/fl mice) (Boulay et al., 2013) and Gja1 (Cx43fl/fl mice) (Theis et al., 2003) alleles were crossbred with mice expressing the tamoxifen-sensitive Cre-recombinase CreERT2 under the endogenous GLAST(Slc1a3)-promoter (Mori et al., 2006). Adult, 8-10 week old mice (Cx30fl/fl:Cx43fl/fl:GLASTCreERT2/+, termed cKO) and littermate control mice (Cx30fl/fl:Cx43fl/fl:GLAST+/+) were injected with tamoxifen for 5 consecutive days and hippocampi were isolated for subsequent TMT-based proteomics analysis 90 days after tamoxifen treatment, to study the consequences of astrocyte decoupling and connexin deletion.

Sp9 regulates medial ganglionic eminence-derived cortical interneuron development

Project description:In the mammalian cortex, about 60% of GABAergic interneurons, mainly including parvalbumin-expressing (PV+) and somatostatin (SST+) interneurons are generated from the medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) in the subpallium and tangentially migrate to the cortex. Here we analyze the role of the Sp9 transcription factor in regulating the development of MGE-derived cortical interneurons. We show that SP9 is widely expressed in the MGE subventricular zone (SVZ) and in MGE-derived migrating interneurons. By analyzing Sp9 null and conditional mutant mice, we demonstrate that Sp9 promotes MGE progenitor proliferation in the SVZ and is required for the normal patterning of tangential migration and the laminar distribution of MGE-derived cortical GABAergic interneurons. Loss of Sp9 function results in a ~50% reduction of MGE-derived cortical interneurons, an ectopic aggregation of MGE-derived neurons in the embryonic ventral telencephalon, and an increased ratio of SST+/PV+ cortical interneurons. Finally, we provide evidence that Sp9 regulates MGE derived cortical interneuron development through promoting expression of the Lhx6 and Lhx8 transcription factors.

Identification of Sox9-Regulated Pathways During Early Pancreas Organogenesis

Project description:Sox9 target genes were identified by comparing gene expression in Sox9-ablated versus wild-type pancreata using microarray analysis. Sox9 was conditionally ablated in the developing pancreas via recombination of a Sox9-flox allele (Kist et al., 2002) using the Pdx1-Cre transgene (Gu et al., 2002). Total RNA was isolated and pooled from dorsal pancreatic epithelia of e12.5 Sox9fl/fl; Pdx1-Cre (mutant) versus Sox9fl/fl (wild-type) littermates for three biological replicates.

Roles of Mafb and c-Maf in MGE-derived pallial interneuron development and maturation

Project description:We utilized single-cell RNA-sequencing to identify candidate genetic targets of Mafb and c-Maf in the MGE-lineage using Nkx2.1-Cre generated neonatal wildtype (WT) and conditional Mafb/c-Maf double deletion mutant (cDKO) animals. We identified genes that likely contribute to Maf cDKO's phenotypes, which include preferential parvalbumin interneuron loss, overproduction of hippocampal interneurons and neurite outgrowth defects.

RNA-Seq of E14 MGE, Prdm16 WT vs cKO

Project description:This study aimed to understand the role of the transcriptional regulator Prdm16 in the development of cortical interneurons in the mouse. Prdm16 was knocked out in cells derived from the medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) by using an Nkx2.1-Cre driver line in combination with a line carrying floxed Prdm16 alleles and with a Cre-dependent tdTomato reporter line (Ai14). The sequencing data compares the gene expression profiles of dissected MGEs at embryonic day 14 (E14), a stage when cortical interneurons are being generated from MGE progenitors.

Proteomic analysis of adult CNS from Rhoa cKOs and CTRs mice

Project description:Oligodendrocyte differentiation and subsequent myelination rely on strict regulatory mechanisms and molecules. Here we aimed at understanding the role of the Rho GTPase RhoA during oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination in vivo. Using a conditional cell-specific ablation of Rhoa (Rhoa fl/fl mice crossed with Cnp-Cre mice) in oligodendrocytes, we show that RhoA controls the timing and progression differentiation and myelination. To identify putative mechanisms underlying the Rhoa cKO phenotype, we performed quantitative label-free LC-MS/MS proteomics on optic nerves from Rhoa cKO (Rhoa fl/fl Cre+) and control mice (Rhoa fl/fl Cre-) at 30 days post-birth (P30). Manual annotation of the differentially abundant proteins showed a large modulation of several proteins clusters associated with actin cytoskeleton, signal transduction and mitochondria.

Adult cardiomyocyte specific loss of myostatin

Project description:Inhibition of myostatin signaling induces strong skeletal muscle growth making it an attractive target to treat muscle wasting and sarcopenia. However, the biological function of myostatin in the heart is barely understood. We demonstrate that conditional inactivation of myostatin in the adult murine heart leads to cardiac hypertrophy, heart failure and increased lethality. To induce cardiomyocyte specific loss of myostatin a conditionally active Mstn^fl/fl allele was generated by insertion of loxP elements upstream and downstream of exons 1 and 2 of the mouse myostatin gene. The selection cassette was removed in vivo by flp-recombination. To inactivate myostatin, mice were mated to alphaMyHC-MCM mice (Sohal, DS, et al. (2001) Circulation Research 89, 20-25). Cre-recombination was achieved by intraperitoneal administration of Tamoxifen (40 mg/kg) for 5 consecutive days. The respective control alphaMyHC-MCM animals were equally treated.
