GeneQuery RNA Profile of Trigeminal Ganglia from Tumor Burden and Tumor Naïve Mice

ABSTRACT: Cancer patients often experience changes in mental health, prompting an exploration into whether nerves infiltrating tumors contribute to these alterations by impacting brain functions. Using a mouse model for head and neck cancer and neuronal tracing we show that tumor-infiltrating nerves connect to distinct brain areas. The activation of this neuronal circuitry altered behaviors (decreased nest-building, increased latency to eat a cookie, and reduced wheel running). Tumor-infiltrating nociceptor neurons exhibited heightened calcium activity and brain regions receiving these neural projections showed elevated Fos as well as increased calcium responses compared to non-tumor-bearing counterparts.

Project description:Propranolol is a beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist (Î²-blocker) that has been detected in United States wastewater effluents at concentrations ranging from 0.026 to 1.90 Âµg/l. In mammals, there is evidence that Î²-blockers can cause sexual dysfunction, and alter serotonergic pathways which may impact reproductive behavior but little is known about the effects on fish behavior. The present study tested the effects of propranolol on fecundity and on reproductive behavior of the fathead minnow, Pimephales promelas, a fish that exhibits male parental care. Sexually mature fathead minnows were housed at a ratio of one male and two females per tank and exposed to nominal concentrations of 0, 0.1, 1, 10 Âµg/l for 21 days. Measured concentrations (Â±SD) of propranolol were 0.05Â±0.02, 0.88Â±0.34 and 4.11Â±1.19 Âµg/l. There were no statistically significant differences in fecundity, fertilization rate, hatchability and time to hatch. Propranolol exposure was not associated with a change in nest rubbing behavior, time spent in the nest or approaching the females. There was a significant difference in the number of visits to the nest with males receiving low and medium propranolol treatments. The microarray analysis showed that there were 335 genes up-regulated and 400 genes down-regulated in the brain after exposure to the highest dose of propranolol. Among those genes, myoglobin and calsequestrin transcripts (fold change=10.84 and 5.49, respectively) were highly up-regulated. Ontological analyses indicated changes in genes involved in calcium ion transport, transcription, proteolysis and apoptosis/anti-apoptosis. The results showed that exposure to propranolol at concentrations as high as 4.11 Âµg/l did not significantly impact reproductive behavior or spawning abilities of fathead minnow but did alter the regulation of genes within the brain of fish. Effects of propanolol exposure were investigated in the brain of adult male fathead minnow exposed to 10 Âµg/L of propanolol or a solvent control solution (0.01% ethanol). For each treatment, the brain of four different fish were analyzed.
