Validation studies and multi-omics analysis of Zhx2 as a candidate quantitative trait gene underlying brain oxycodone metabolite (oxymorphone) levels and behavior

ABSTRACT: Sensitivity to the subjective reinforcing properties of opioids has a genetic component and can predict addiction liability of opioid compounds. We previously identified Zhx2 as a candidate gene underlying increased brain concentration of the oxycodone (OXY) metabolite oxymorphone (OMOR) in BALB/cJ (J) versus BALB/cByJ (By) females that could increase OXY state-dependent reward. A large structural intronic variant is associated with a robust reduction of Zhx2 expression in J mice, which we hypothesized enhances OMOR levels and OXY addiction-like behaviors. We tested this hypothesis by modeling the loss-of-function variant through knocking out the Zhx2 coding exon (E3KO). Integrative transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of E3KO mice identified astrocyte function, cell adhesion, extracellular matrix properties, and endothelial cell functions as pathways influencing brain OXY metabolite concentration and behavior. These results support Zhx2 as a quantitative trait gene underlying brain OMOR concentration that is associated with changes in OXY behavior and implicate potential quantitative trait mechanisms that together inform our overall understanding of Zhx2 in brain function.

RNA Expression QTL mapping in Striatum of an F2 cross of BALB/cJ and BALB/cByJ mice to identify candidate genes for behavioral/metabolic QTLs

Project description:We found BALB/cByJ and BALB/cJ mice differ in their responses to oxycodone state dependent conditioned place preference, whole brain [oxycodone] and its metabolites [noroxycodone] and [oxymorphone] following oxycodone administration, the 53.5°C hot plate, mechanical stimulation in the von Frey test, and gross brain weight. We then identified a quantitative trait locus (QTL) on chromosome 15 for whole brain (LOD = 7.07; p < 0.001), 13 for hot plate sensitivity (LOD = 10.7; p < 0.001; peak = 56 Mb) and a QTL for brain weight on chromosome 5 (LOD = 8.7; p < 0.001). These tissues were used for expression QTL mapping to highlight the candidate genes Zhx2 (57 Mb) as the top transcript with the strongest association at the ch15 oxymorphone locus and identified H2afy (56 Mb) as the top transcript with the strongest association at the ch13 hot plate locus.

Genetic basis of thermal nociceptive sensitivity and brain weight in a BALB/c reduced complexity cross: BALB/cJ vs BALB/cByJ Spinal Cord RNAseq

Project description:We found BALB/cByJ mice showed enhanced sensitivity on the 53.5°C hot plate and mechanical stimulation in the von Frey test compared to BALB/cJ mice and replicated decreased gross brain weight in BALB/cByJ versus BALB/cJ. We then identified a quantitative trait locus (QTL) on chromosome 13 for hot plate sensitivity (LOD = 10.7; p < 0.001; peak = 56 Mb) and a QTL for brain weight on chromosome 5 (LOD = 8.7; p < 0.001). Expression QTL mapping of brain tissues identified H2afy (56.07 Mb) as the top transcript with the strongest association at the hot plate locus (FDR = 0.0002) and spliceome analysis identified differential exon usage within H2afy associated with the same locus. These data are spinal cord RNAseq to confirm differential expression of H2afy and other candidate genes.

A single-cell atlas of gene expression and chromatin accessibility changes associated with cocaine addiction in the rat amygdala [snRNA-seq]

Project description:The amygdala plays a key role in the negative emotional states associated with the relapse to drug seeking behavior. Neuroanatomical and functional observations have uncovered the role of discrete amygdala subregions in different aspects of these negative affective states. However, the underlying transcriptional regulatory programs driving the function of distinct amygdala cell types remains unknown. We generated an atlas of single nucleus gene expression and chromatin accessibility in the amygdala of rats with low and high cocaine addiction-like behaviors after prolonged abstinence from extended access to cocaine intravenous self-administration. We identified thousands of cell type-specific differentially expressed genes, suggesting that negative affective states are associated with cell type-specific mechanisms which are enriched for molecular pathways, including energy metabolism and GABAergic synapses in excitatory and somatostatin neurons. We demonstrate that higher addiction severity is linked to excessive GABAergic inhibition and, using pharmacological inhibition, we find that addiction-like phenotypes are regulated by the metabolite methylglyoxal which is an agonist at GABA-A receptors. By analyzing differences in chromatin accessibility, we predict upstream transcriptional regulators associated with addiction-like behavior and find discordant regulation of key transcription factors among distinct cell populations. Overall, we provide a comprehensive characterization of cell type-specific transcriptional changes in the amygdala during protracted abstinence and use these insights to identify a novel target for pharmacological intervention.

Proteomic characterization of hepatic expression signatures affected in ZHX2 liver conditional knockout mice

Project description:The liver has an exceptional capacity for regeneration which is crucial for maintaining liver function. Since transcriptional regulation of genes controlling metabolism and cell division is a hallmark of liver regeneration (LR), we investigated the role of Zinc-finger and homeboxes 2 (ZHX2), a transcription factor critical for regulating liver postnatal gene expression and hepatic lipid hemostasis, in LR. Our results show that hepatocyte-specific Zhx2 knockout (Zhx2-KOhep) enhances LR after 2/3 partial hepatectomy in mice. Proteomics assays revealed higher mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in Zhx2-KOhep mouse livers. Oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and ATP generation assays confirmed the enhanced OXPHOS in Zhx2-KOhep mouse livers and human hepatocytes with ZHX2 knockdown.
