Project description:Activation of neurons is one of the fundamental events for the functioning of nervous system. Neuronal activation relays information to next neurons. On the other hand, the activated neurons themselves are also influenced by neuronal activation. Depending on the type and condition of neuronal activation, these activated neurons change their gene expressions, thereby being able to process information more or less efficiently. We applied the microarray technology to identify hither-to-uncharacterized as activity-dependent genes. Especially, we screened the transcription factors, because early changes in the transcription factors should result in alterations of gene expression profiles and subsequent neuronal properties. Experiment Overall Design: Rat primary cortical neurons with or without KCl treatment were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. To identify the genes whose expression was induced by depolarization, we first compared gene expression profiles in control vs. 4 hr after KCl (25 mM) treated cortical neurons using Affymetrix Genechips specified for neurobiology. All four hybridizations were analyzed for correlation accuracy between the replicates of the same treatments .Control replicates (control 1, 2) KCl-treated replicates (KCl 1, 2)

Project description:we used DNA microarray analysis to identify genes that are induced by neuronal activity in excitatory neurons at the time when inhibitory synapses are forming and maturing on them. Experiment Overall Design: We cultured cortical neurons for 7 DIV until the process of inhibitory synapse development was underway, and then depolarized the neurons with 50 mM of KCl to activate L-type voltage-sensitive calcium channels (L-VSCCs) for 0, 1 or 6 hours, the cells were lysed, mRNA isolated and hybridized to Affymetrix arrays. Data were collected from 3 independent experiments.

Project description:Neurons and oligodendrocytes communicate to regulate oligodendrocyte development and ensure appropriate axonal myelination. Here, we show that Glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase 2 (GDE2) encodes a neuronal pathway that promotes oligodendrocyte maturation through the release of soluble neuronally-derived factors. Mice lacking global or neuronal GDE2 expression have reduced mature oligodendrocytes and myelin proteins but retain normal numbers of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs). WT OPCs cultured in conditioned medium (CM) from Gde2 null (Gde2KO) neurons exhibit delayed maturation, recapitulating in vivo phenotypes. Gde2KO neurons show robust reduction in canonical Wnt signaling and genetic activation of Wnt signaling in Gde2KO neurons rescues in vivo and in vitro oligodendrocyte maturation. Phosphacan, a known stimulant of OL maturation, is reduced in CM from Gde2KOneurons but is restored when Wnt signaling is activated. These studies identify GDE2 control of Wnt signaling as a neuronal pathway that signals to oligodendroglia to promote oligodendrocyte maturation.

Project description:The endocannabinoid system plays important roles in the modulation of gastrointestinal motility and secretions. These effects are mainly mediated by the activation by the endocannabinoids anandamide (AEA) and 2-arachidonylglycerol (2-AG) of CB1 receptors expressed on cholinergic neurons. Cannabis sativa extracts also perform these activities, through the detection of CB1 receptors by the phytocannabinoids they contain, in particular delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol.
CB1 receptors are abundantly expressed at the synaptic terminals of excitatory motor neurons and cholinergic secretomotor neurons and their activation induces prejunctional inhibition of acetylcholine release. It is thought that the endocannabinoids AEA and 2-AG, by activating these receptors, may exert a physiological control on gastrointestinal contractility and secretions.
This research hypothesizes that drugs capable of inhibiting the biosynthetic and catabolic enzymes of endocannabinoids, of inhibiting the transmembrane transport of endocannabinoids or of allosterically modulating CB1 receptors induce important regulating effects of basal contractility and excitatory motor responses, induced by activation of neurons intramural cholinergics, of colonic circular smooth muscle.
The effects of drugs acting on CB receptors, endocannabinoid biosynthetic and catabolic enzymes and endocannabinoid membrane transporters on basal contractility or induced by neuronal activation of colonic preparations in vitro will be evaluated.
The study will enroll patients affected by colorectal cancer to undergo elective resective surgery at any stage, undergoing upfront surgery or after neo-adjuvant therapy with a therapeutic interval greater than 6 weeks. In the selected patients (see inclusion/exclusion criteria), a fresh sample of about 2.5 cm of healthy colon (healthy resection margin) will be taken, which will be taken in the operating room and sent to the laboratory for in vitro study.
Expected results: The study is expected to provide new evidence regarding the induction of pharmacological effects by allosteric receptor modulators of CB1 receptors, inhibitors of endocannabinoid biosynthetic and catabolic enzymes, and inhibitors of cannabinoid transporters in the human colon, which may open interesting perspectives regarding the development of new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of constipation, diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome.

Project description:We search for developmental changes specific to humans by examining gene expression profiles in the human, chimpanzee and rhesus macaque prefrontal and cerebellar cortex. In both brain regions, developmental patterns were more evolved in humans than in chimpanzees. The major human specific genes in prefrontal cortex was enriched in neuronal functions and regulated by several transcription factors, which were previously implicated in regulation of neuronal functions. To confirm neuronal function of the human prefrontal cortex specific genes, we identifed response genes upon neuronal activation in mouse cortical neurons. Our results show that human specific genes are enriched in the response genes upon neuronal activation, implying the function of human prefrontal cortex specific genes in synaptic development. The cortical neurons from E15 mouse were isolated and cultured. We then exposed neurons to bicuculline (Bic), or potassium chloride (KCl), or without treatment. The cultured neurons under each group were hybridized to Agilent whole mouse genome oligo microarray (4x44k).

Project description:This experiment comprises RNA-seq data used to study evolutionary differences between humans and mice in neuronal activity-dependent transcriptional responses. Activity-dependent transcriptional responses in developing human stem cell-derived cortical neurons were compared with those induced in developing primary- or stem cell-derived mouse cortical neurons 4 hours after KCl-induced membrane depolarisation. Activity-dependent transcriptional responses were also measured in aneuploid mouse neurons carrying human chromosome 21, allowing study of the regulation of Hsa21 genes, plus their mouse orthologs, side-by-side in the same cellular environment of a mouse primary neuron.

Project description:Carbon nanotubes are cylindrically-shaped carbon nanostructures, made up of layers of graphene rolled onto themselves, with diameters similar to those of neuronal processes. In the last decade, CNT have been used as biocompatible growing substrates for neuronal attachment, differentiation and growth. In the perspective of new developments in tissue engineering, and in particular in spinal cord repair strategies, based on the use of CNTs, our aim is to clarify the biophysical interactions between CNTs and spinal cord neurons, studying the development of the morphological and functional characteristics of spinal neurons grown on CNT-based interfaces. In this context, we used microarrays to show whether cultured dissociated spinal neurons show a difference in gene expression when grown in control conditions (polyornithine-covered substrates) or on CNT-based substrates. Gene expression profiling was evaluated from 3 replicates each of neurons grown on nanotubes and control conditions.

Project description:The proper balance of excitatory and inhibitory neurons is crucial to normal processing of somatosensory information in the dorsal spinal cord. Two neural basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors, Ascl1 and Ptf1a, are essential for generating the correct number and sub-type of neurons in multiple regions of the nervous system. M-BM- In the dorsal spinal cord, Ascl1 and Ptf1a have contrasting functions in specifying inhibitory versus excitatory neurons. To understand how Ascl1 and Ptf1a function in these processes, we identified their direct transcriptional targets genome-wide in the embryonic mouse neural tube using ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq. We show that Ascl1 and Ptf1a regulate the specification of excitatory and inhibitory neurons in the dorsal spinal cord through direct regulation of distinct homeodomain transcription factors known for their function in neuronal sub-type specification. Besides their roles in regulating these homeodomain factors, Ascl1 and Ptf1a each function differently during neuronal development with Ascl1 directly regulating genes with roles in several steps of the neurogenic program including, Notch signaling, neuronal differentiation, axon guidance, and synapse formation. In contrast, Ptf1a directly regulates genes encoding components of the neurotransmitter machinery in inhibitory neurons, and other later aspects of neural development distinct from those regulated by Ascl1. Moreover, Ptf1a represses the excitatory neuronal fate by directly repressing several targets of Ascl1. Examination of the Ascl1 and Ptf1a bound sequences shows they are enriched for a common E-Box with a GC core and with additional motifs used by Sox, Rfx, Pou, and Homeodomain factors. Ptf1a bound sequences are uniquely enriched in an E-Box with a GA/TC core and in the binding motif for its co-factor Rbpj, providing two keys to specificity of Ptf1a binding. The direct transcriptional targets identified for Ascl1 and Ptf1a provide a molecular understanding for how they function in neuronal development, particularly as key regulators of homeodomain transcription factors required for neuronal sub-type specification. Examination of gene expression in Ascl1 and Ptf1a lineage cells in the developing neural tube.
