Suppression of neurons in circumventricular organs enables months-long survival without water in thirteen-lined ground squirrels

ABSTRACT: Water deprivation is a life-threatening condition that engages a protective physiological response to couple osmolyte retention with potentiation of thirst. This response, typical for most mammals, safeguards against short-term water deprivation, but fails in the long-term. Thirteen-lined ground squirrels (Ictidomys tridecemlineatus) employ the short-term response during summer, whereas during winter they lack thirst and survive without water for months. Here, we show that long-term thirst suppression occurs despite hormonal and behavioral signs of a dramatic fluid deficit and originates from hypoactivity of neurons in the circumventricular organs, which exhibit marked functional suppression during winter that blunts their sensitivity to thirst cues. Our work reveals a remarkable capacity of the evolutionarily conserved brain regions which control fluid homeostasis in mammals to enable long-term survival without water.

The cellular basis of distinct thirst modalities

Project description:We performed single-cell RNA-seq (10x Chromium 3' v.2) on dissociated single cell suspensions from mouse (C57BL/6) osmosensory brain nuclei - subfornical organ (SFO) and organum vasculosum lamina terminalis (OVLT) to determine transcriptomic cell types in each structure. We identified 12 and 13 major cell classes as well as 8 neuron types in each for SFO and OVLT respectively. Furthermore, we studied how different types of thirst signals (osmotic thirst, hypovolemic thirst, chronic water deprivation) engage this cellular diversity by performing single cell RNA-seq based (10x Chromium 3' v.3.0) stimulus to cell-type mapping, where dissociation related transcriptional artifacts were suppressed through a modified tissue preparation protocol involving a transcriptional blocker and dissociation at room temperature. This approach revealed the endogenous immediate early gene expression triggered by distinct thirst stimuli in SFO and OVLT cells. By analyzing immediate early gene expression that is driven by changes in neural activity (Fos) we identified excitatory neuron types in SFO and OVLT that are uniquely tuned to distinct thirst states.

Mild dehydration effects on the murine kidney single nucleus transcriptome and chromatin accessibility [RNA-seq]

Project description:The kidney is composed of > 40 cell types that work collectively to maintain fluid-electrolyte balance. If not enough fluid is consumed to remain in balance, then vasopressin is released and acts in the kidney to increase water reabsorption. Here the authors used kidney single nucleus multiome-sequencing to determine cell-specific transcriptomes and chromatin accessibility profiles of male and female control (ad libitum water and food) or mildly dehydrated mice (ad libitum food, water deprivation). There were hundreds of sex- and dehydration-specific differentially expressed genes throughout the kidney, most of which did not have a significant change in chromatin accessibility. Thus, even mild dehydration causes cell- and sex-specific transcriptomic changes even though the kidney function to conserve water is the same.

Temporal expression study of microRNAs in crown tissues of winter wheat grown under natural growth condition

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are single strand small non-coding RNAs that regulate target mRNAs at post-transcription level. Winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), is an important crop plant all over the world. Long term cold exposure (vernalization) is necessary for winter wheat transition from vegetative growth to reproductive growth, yet the involvement of miRNAs in these stages remains unknown. Therefore, we performed next generation sequencing of small RNAs profiles in crown tissues at three-leaf stage, winter dormancy stage, spring greenup stage and jointing stage.

Platelet proteome dynamics in hibernating 13-lined ground squirrels

Project description:Hibernating mammals undergo a dramatic drop in temperature and blood flow during torpor and must suppress hemostasis to avoid stasis blood clotting. In addition, cold storage of most mammalian platelets induces cold storage lesions, resulting in rapid clearance following transfusion. 13-lined ground squirrels (Ictidomys tridecemlineatus) provide a model to study hemostasis and cold storage of platelets during hibernation because, even with a body temperature of 4-8C, their platelets are resistant to cold storage lesions. We quantified and systematically compared proteomes of platelets collected from ground squirrels at summer (activity), fall (entrance), and winter (topor) to elucidate how molecular-level changes in platelets may support hemostatic adaptations in torpor. Platelets were isolated from squirrel blood collected in June, October, and January. Platelet lysates from each animal were digested with trypsin prior to 11-plex tandem mass tag (TMT) labeling, followed by LC-MS/MS analysis for relative protein quantification. We found over 700 platelet proteins with significant changes over the course of entrance, torpor, and activity – including systems of proteins regulating translation, platelet degranulation, metabolism, complement, and coagulation cascades. We also noted species specific differences in hemostatic, secretory, and inflammatory regulators in ground squirrel platelets relative to human platelets. In addition to providing the first ever proteomic characterization of platelets from hibernating animals, our results support a model whereby systematic changes in metabolic, hemostatic, and other proteins support physiological adaptations in torpor. In addition, our results could translate into better methods to cold store human platelets, increasing their supply and quality for transfusions.
