Project description:This a model from the article:
Inclusion of the glucocorticoid receptor in a hypothalamic pituitary adrenal
axis model reveals bistability.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The body's primary stress management system is the hypothalamic
pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis. The HPA axis responds to physical and mental
challenge to maintain homeostasis in part by controlling the body's cortisol
level. Dysregulation of the HPA axis is implicated in numerous stress-related
diseases. RESULTS: We developed a structured model of the HPA axis that includes
the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). This model incorporates nonlinear kinetics of
pituitary GR synthesis. The nonlinear effect arises from the fact that GR
homodimerizes after cortisol activation and induces its own synthesis in the
pituitary. This homodimerization makes possible two stable steady states (low
and high) and one unstable state of cortisol production resulting in bistability
of the HPA axis. In this model, low GR concentration represents the normal
steady state, and high GR concentration represents a dysregulated steady state.
A short stress in the normal steady state produces a small perturbation in the
GR concentration that quickly returns to normal levels. Long, repeated stress
produces persistent and high GR concentration that does not return to baseline
forcing the HPA axis to an alternate steady state. One consequence of increased
steady state GR is reduced steady state cortisol, which has been observed in
some stress related disorders such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS).
CONCLUSION: Inclusion of pituitary GR expression resulted in a biologically
plausible model of HPA axis bistability and hypocortisolism. High GR
concentration enhanced cortisol negative feedback on the hypothalamus and forced
the HPA axis into an alternative, low cortisol state. This model can be used to
explore mechanisms underlying disorders of the HPA axis.

Project description:Synaptic dysfunction represents a key pathophysiology in neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Rare mutation R451C in human Neuroligin 3 (NLGN3, encoded by X-linked gene NLGN3), a cell adhesion molecule essential for synapse formation, has been linked to ASD. Despite success in recapitulating the social interaction behavioral deficits and the underlying synaptic abnormalities in mouse model, the impact of NLGN3 R451C on the human neuronal system remains elusive. Here, we generated isogenic knock-in human pluripotent stem cell lines harboring NLGN3 R451C allele and examined its impact on synaptic transmission. Analysis of co-cultured excitatory and inhibitory induced neurons (iNs) with mutation revealed an augmentation in excitatory synaptic strength comparing to isogenic control, but not in inhibitory synaptic transmission. Consistently, the augmentation in excitatory transmission was confirmed in iNs transplanted into mouse forebrain. Using single-cell RNA seq on co-cultured excitatory and inhibitory iNs, we identified differential expression genes (DEGs) and found NLGN3 R451C alters gene networks associated with synaptic transmission. Gene ontology and enrichment analysis revealed convergent gene networks associated with ASD and other mental disorders. Our finding suggests that the NLGN3 R451C mutation could preferentially impact excitatory neurons, which causes overall network properties changes and excitation-inhibition imbalance related to mental disorders.

Project description:Disruption of circadian clocks exacerbates various diseases, in part likely due to impaired stress resistance. It is unclear how nearly lethal stresses affect circadian clocks. We found that near-lethal doses of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced critical oxidative stress (cOS) at the branch point of life and death resets circadian clocks, synergistically evoking protective responses for cell survival. The cOS-triggered clock resetting and pro-survival responses are mediated by transcription factor, central clock-regulatory BMAL1 and heat shock stress-responsive (HSR) HSF1. Casein kinase II (CK2) M-bM-^@M-^Smediated phosphorylation regulates dimerization and function of BMAL1 and HSF1 to control the cOS-evoked responses. The core cOS-responsive transcriptome includes CK2-orchestrated crosstalk between the circadian, HSR, NFM-NM-:B-mediated anti-apoptotic, and Nrf2-mediated anti-oxidant pathways. This novel circadian-adaptive signaling system likely plays fundamental protective roles in ROS-inducible disorders, various diseases, and death. Gene expression was measured 4h, 20h and 32h after treatment with 5 mM H2O2 for 10 min.

Project description:We performed the oligonucleotide microarray analysis in bipolar disorder, major depression, schizophrenia, and control subjects using postmortem prefrontal cortices provided by the Stanley Foundation Brain Collection. By comparing the gene expression profiles of similar but distinctive mental disorders, we explored the uniqueness of bipolar disorder and its similarity to other mental disorders at the molecular level. Notably, most of the altered gene expressions in each disease were not shared by one another, suggesting the molecular distinctiveness of these mental disorders. We found a tendency of downregulation of the genes encoding receptor, channels or transporters, and upregulation of the genes encoding stress response proteins or molecular chaperons in bipolar disorder. Altered expressions in bipolar disorder shared by other mental disorders mainly consisted of upregulation of the genes encoding proteins for transcription or translation. The genes identified in this study would be useful for the understanding of the pathophysiology of bipolar disorder, as well as the common pathophysiological background in major mental disorders at the molecular level. Experiment Overall Design: A total of 50 postmortem brains obtained from the Stanley Medical Research Institute were used for DNA microarray analysis. Fresh frozen samples were used for RNA extraction.

Project description:Many studies indicated in an indirect way that astrocytes are a major target for transcriptional responses induced by glucocorticoids in the CNS, implying that glial cells an important consituent of stress responses. To address this issue directly we have generated astrocyte-specific conditional GR knockout mice (Cx30GRko) using Cre/loxP system utilizing connexin 30 promoter driving expression of CreERT2 recombinase. Genome wide analysis of molecular effects of astrocytic GR knockout would allow for dissecting the glial cell-type specific components of stress response mediated by glucocorticoids

Project description:Adverse experiences in early life are risk factors for the development of behavioral and physiological symptoms that can lead to psychiatric and cognitive disorders later in life. Some of these symptoms can be transmitted to the offspring, in some cases by non-genomic mechanisms involving germ cells. Using a mouse model of unpredictable maternal separation and maternal stress, we show that postnatal trauma alters coping behaviors in adverse conditions in exposed males when adult and in their adult male progeny. The behavioral changes are accompanied by increased glucocorticoid receptor (GR) expression and decreased DNA methylation of the GR promoter in the hippocampus. DNA methylation is also decreased in sperm cells of exposed males when adult. Transgenerational transmission of behavioral symptoms is prevented by paternal environmental enrichment, an effect associated with the reversal of alterations in GR gene expression and DNA methylation in the hippocampus of the male offspring. These findings highlight the influence of both, negative and positive environmental factors on behavior across generations, and the plasticity of the epigenome across life.
