Polygenic Risk for Alcohol Use Disorder Affects Cellular Responses to Ethanol Exposure in a Human Microglial Cell Model II

ABSTRACT: Polygenic risk scores (PRS) assess genetic susceptibility to Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), yet their molecular implications remain underexplored. Neuroimmune interactions, particularly in microglia, are recognized as significant contributors to AUD pathophysiology. We investigated the interplay between AUD PRS and ethanol in human microglia derived from iPSCs from individuals with high-or low-PRS (HPRS or LPRS) of AUD. Ethanol exposure induced elevated CD68 expression and morphological changes in microglia, with differential responses between HPRS and LPRS microglial cells. Transcriptomic analysis revealed expression differences in MHCII complex and phagocytosis-related genes following ethanol exposure; HPRS microglial cells displayed enhanced phagocytosis and increased CLEC7Aexpression, unlike LPRS microglial cells. Synapse numbers in co-cultures of induced neurons with microglia after alcohol exposure were lower in HRPS co-cultures, suggesting possible excess synapse pruning. This study provides insights into the intricate relationship between AUD PRS, ethanol, and microglial function, potentially influencing neuronal functions in developing AUD.

Cerebellar Transcriptomic Analysis in a Chronic Plus Binge Mouse Model of Alcohol Use Disorders Demonstrate Ethanol Induced Neuroinflammation and Altered Glial Gene Expression

Project description:Alcohol use disorders (AUD) are one of the most common preventable mental health disorders and can result in pathology within the CNS, including the cerebellum. Cerebellar alcohol exposure during adulthood has been associated with disruptions in proper cerebellar function. However, the mechanisms regulating ethanol-induced cerebellar neuropathology are not well understood. High-throughput next generation sequencing was performed to compare control versus ethanol treated adult C57BL/6J mice in a chronic plus binge model of AUD. Mice were euthanized, cerebella were microdissected, RNA was isolated, and RNA-sequencing was performed. Down-stream transcriptomic analyses revealed significant changes in gene expression and global biological pathways in control versus ethanol treated mice that included pathogen-influenced signaling pathways and cellular immune response pathways. Microglial associated genes showed a decrease in homeostatic molecules and an increase in molecules associated with chronic neurodegenerative diseases, while astrocyte associated genes showed an increase in molecules associated with acute injury. Oligodendrocyte lineage cell genes showed a decrease in molecules associated with both early-stage progenitors as well as mature myelinating oligodendrocytes. These data provide new insight into the mechanisms by which ethanol induces cerebellar neuropathology and alterations to the immune response in AUD.

Proteomic analysis of alcohol and LPS-treated primary mouse microglia

Project description:Microglia, the resident immune cells of the brain, can exhibit a broad range of activation phenotypes, many of which have been implicated in several diseases and disorders of the central nervous system including alcohol use disorders and disorders. By utilizing a method optimized for sensitive and rapid quantitative proteomic analysis of microglia involving suspension trapping (S-Trap), we were able to produce efficient and reproducible protein extraction from low cell yielding primary mouse brains. Using a ~2 h gradient on a 75 cm UPLC column with a modified data dependent acquisition method on a hybrid quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometer (QE Plus), 5,062 total proteins were identified where 4,928 of those proteins were quantifiable by label-free quantitation (with 5 biological replicates). This analysis resulted in the most comprehensive proteomic dataset for ethanol- and LPS-treated primary mouse microglia to date and even expanded upon the well-characterized macrophage/microglia response to LPS treatment. This study also highlights the subtle, yet significant changes ethanol exposure can induce when compared to control. Interestingly, these changes are not consistent with the robust classical activation induced by LPS treatment, but instead align with the emerging theory that ethanol-treated microglia yield an alternative activation response. The contrast to LPS-treated microglia leads us to conclude that ethanol does not elicit a strong inflammatory response but rather might have a general inhibitory effect on multiple pathways such as phagocytosis and cell migration.

Illumina 3'UTR biased-sequencing of total homogenate from mPFC and CeA of mice following chronic intermittent ethanol exposure and microglia depletion

Project description:Purpose: Alcohol dependence results in microglia proliferation in brain and changes in microglia morphology and function. However, it remains unknown if microglia initiate or simply amplify the neuroadaptations that lead to alcohol dependence. Here we determined microglia function in chronic intermittent ethanol exposure behaviors using a colony stimulating factor 1 receptor inhibitor (PLX5622) and 3’UTR biased-sequencing. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to provide insight into how microglia may regulate neuroadaptations due to alcohol dependence. Methods: We performed 3’UTR biased transcriptome sequencing (3’Tag-seq) on total homogenate isolated from the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) of C57BL6/J mice following microglia depletion and chronic intermittent ethanol exposure. Results: Differential expression analysis and WGCNA network analysis revealed that microglia depletion prevents both immune and synaptic gene expression changes that are linked with the formation of alcohol dependence. This suggested that microglia are key regulators of the transition from alcohol misuse to alcohol dependence. Conclusion: Taken together our behavioral and transcriptional data indicate that microglia are the primary effector cell responsible for regulation of alcohol dependence. In addition, our data represents a novel resource for groups interested in transcriptional effects of microglia depletion after alcohol dependence.

Analysis of microRNA transcriptomic changes in ethanol-exposed human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived cortical interneurons using small RNA sequencing

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.

RNA sequencing analysis of the amygdala in mouse model of alcohol drinking

Project description:Repeated excessive alcohol consumption is a risk factor for alcohol use disorder (AUD). Although AUD has been more common in men than women, women develop more severe behavioral and physical impairments. However, relatively few new therapeutics targeting development of AUD have been validated. Here, to gain a better understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying alcohol intake, we conducted a genome-wide RNA-sequencing analysis in female mice exposed to different modes (acute vs chronic) of ethanol drinking. We focused on transcriptional profiles in amygdala including the central and basolateral subnuclei, brain areas previously implicated in alcohol drinking and seeking. We found distinct gene expression patterns and canonical pathways induced by both acute and chronic intake. Surprisingly, both drinking modes triggered similar transcriptional changes, including up-regulation of ribosome-related/translational pathways and myelination pathways, and down-regulation of chromatin binding and histone modification. Notably, multiple genes that were significantly altered with alcohol drinking, including Atp2b1, Hspa4, Slc4a7, Sbno1, Ubxn2b, Nfkb1, Nts, and Hdac2, had previously been associated with human AUD via GWAS or other genomic studies. In addition, subsequent analyses of hub genes and upstream regulatory pathways predicted that voluntary ethanol consumption affects epigenetic changes via histone deacetylation pathways, oligodendrocyte and myelin function, and the oligodendrocyte-related transcription factor, Sox17. Overall, our results suggest that the expression of oligodendrocyte-related genes in the central and basolateral subnuclei of the amygdala is sensitive to voluntary alcohol drinking. These findings suggest potential molecular targets for future therapeutic approaches to prevent the development of AUD, particularly in women, due to repeated excessive alcohol consumption

Developmental high binge ethanol exposure does not alter the transcriptome of visual cortical microglia as determined by mature mRNA RNA sequencing

Project description:This RNA-seq data was generated to determine the effects of developmental ethanol exposure on the microglial transcriptome in the visual cortex during adolescence. This data reveals that there were no significant differences in expression levels for any of the genes detected, despite the reliable data quality and the fact that the most highly expressed genes detected were in fact also shown by other studies to be highly expressed by microglia. Therefore, this data lends strong support to the conclusion that the phenotype of microglia in adolescent mouse visual cortex after developmental ethanol exposure is remarkably similar to the phenotype of comparable microglia in controls, and suggest that early ethanol exposure has limited effects on visual cortical microglia long-term.

Cell-type brain-region specific changes in prefrontal cortex of mouse model of alcohol dependence

Project description:The prefrontal cortex is a crucial regulator of escalation of alcohol drinking, dependence, and other behavioral criteria associated with AUD. Comprehensive identification of cell-type specific transcriptomic changes in alcohol dependence will improve our understanding of mechanisms mediating the escalation of alcohol use and will refine targets for therapeutic development. We performed single nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) on ~150,000 single nuclei from the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) obtained from C57BL/6J mice exposed to the chronic intermittent ethanol exposure (CIE) paradigm which models phenotypes associated with alcohol dependence. Gene co-expression network analysis and differential expression analysis identified highly dysregulated co-expression networks in multiple cell types. Here, we present a comprehensive atlas of cell-type specific alcohol dependence related gene expression changes in the mPFC.
