The acute stress response is mediated by prefrontal 5α-reductase 2 in males via allopregnanolone synthesis

ABSTRACT: Acute stress triggers rapid brain responses, including increased allopregnanolone (AP) synthesis via 5α-reductase (5αR). However, the involvement of this enzyme in stress response remains elusive. Here, we investigated the roles of the two major 5αR isoenzymes in acute stress. Acute stress increased mRNA and protein levels of 5αR2, but not 5αR1, in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) of male, but not female, rats. Targeted mPFC downregulation of 5αR2, but not 5αR1, markedly reduced the responsiveness of males, but not females, to both stressful and arousing stimuli. Similar sex differences were observed in 5αR2 knockout rats. While 5αR1 regulated AP synthesis under baseline conditions, 5αR2 enabled this process in response to acute stress. Single-nucleus transcriptomic analyses revealed that 5αR2 enabled stress-induced protein synthesis in pyramidal neurons and glia of the mPFC. These findings underscore the pivotal role of 5αR2 in shaping sex-related differences in acute stress reactivity.

The influence of the estrous cycle on sex differences in the rat adult medial prefrontal cortex transcriptome [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Hormonal fluctuations throughout the ovarian cycle contribute to femalesâ higher vulnerability to anxiety disorders when compared to males. Notably, such sex differences are controlled by regulation of genes in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) including the transcription factor early growth response 1 (Egr1) in rats, which highlights a control of anxiety-like behaviors by sexually-biased gene expression. We therefore undertook a large-scale characterization of sex differences and their interaction with the estrous cycle in the adult mPFC transcriptome and report that proestrus and diestrus females (with high and low ovarian hormones levels, respectively) exhibited a partly-opposed sexually-biased transcriptome. Surprisingly, the extent of regulations within females vastly exceeded sex differences, and support a multi-level reorganization of synaptic function across the estrous cycle. Furthermore, genome-wide analysis of Egr1 binding highlighted its role in controlling the synapse-related genes varying within females, and the sex- and estrous cycle-dependent transcriptomic reorganization in the rat mPFC. mRNA profiling of 2-3 month-old males and females Sprague-Dawley rats in either Proestrus or Diestrus. A total of 11 samples were analyzed, corresponding to 4 males, 3 proestrus females, and 4 diestrus females.

Transcription profile of aging and cognitive-related genes in the medial prefrontal cortex and hippocampal region CA1

Project description:This study focused on transcription in the medial PFC (mPFC) as a function of age and cognition. Young and aged F344 rats were characterized on tasks, attentional set shift and spatial memory, which depend on the mPFC and hippocampus, respectively. Differences in transcription associated with age and cognitive function were examined using RNA sequencing to construct transcriptomic profiles for the mPFC, white matter, and region CA1 of the hippocampus. The results indicate regional differences in vulnerability to aging associated with increased expression of immune and defense response genes and a decline in synaptic and neural activity genes. Importantly, we provide evidence for region specific transcription related to behavior. In particular, expression of transcriptional regulators and neural activity-related immediate-early genes (IEGs) are increased in the mPFC of aged animals that exhibit delayed set shift behavior; relative to age-matched animals that exhibit set shift behavior similar to younger animals. The study contains 11 young and 20 aged rats for the mPFC and CA1 samples, which were used to investigate expression patterns associated with aging and behavior. White matter samples were used to investigate an age-related effect with 8 young and 9 aged rats.

Heightened Cocaine-Seeking in Male Rats Associates with a Distinct Transcriptomic Profile in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex

Project description:Drug overdose deaths involving cocaine have skyrocketed, an outcome attributable in part to the lack of FDA-approved medications for the treatment of cocaine use disorder (CUD), highlighting the need to identify new pharmacotherapeutic targets. Vulnerability to cocaine-associated environmental contexts and stimuli serves as a risk factor for relapse in CUD recovery, with individual differences evident in the motivational aspects of these cues. The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) provides top-down control of striatal circuitry to regulate the incentive-motivational properties of cocaine-associated stimuli. Clinical and preclinical studies have identified genetic variations that impact the degree of executive restraint over drug-motivated behaviors, and we designed the present study to employ next-generation sequencing to identify specific genes associated with heightened cue-evoked cocaine-seeking in the mPFC of male, outbred rats. Rats were trained to stably self-administer cocaine, and baseline cue-reinforced cocaine-seeking was established. Rats were phenotyped as either high cue (HC) or low cue (LC) responders based upon lever pressing for previously associated cocaine cues and allowed 10 days of abstinence in their home cages prior to mPFC collection for RNA-sequencing. The expression of 309 genes in the mPFC was significantly different in HC vs. LC rats. Functional gene enrichment analyses identified ten biological processes that were overrepresented in the mPFC of HC vs. LC rats. The present study identifies distinctions in mPFC mRNA transcripts that characterizes individual differences in relapse-like behavior and provides prioritized candidates (i.e., Htr2c, Adora2a, Drd2) for future pharmacotherapeutics aimed to help maintain abstinence in CUD.

Proteome profiling in aging rat brain by LC-MS/MS

Project description:This study investigated proteome profile in the hippocampus, medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), and striatum of 14, 18, 23, and 27 months old rats in order to see the effect of aging on proteins in these regions. Using ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography coupled with Q Exactive HF Orbitrap mass spectrometry, we identified 1074 proteins in the hippocampus, 871 proteins in the mPFC, and 241 proteins the striatum. Ninety-seven, 25, and 5 of these proteins were differentially expressed with age in the hippocampus, mPFC, and striatum, respectively. Overall, aging causes divergent protein changes in specific brain regions, with the most prominent changes observed in the late-aged.
