Project description:Taurine was previously reported to increase the proliferation of neural precursor cells (NPCs) from subventricular zone of the mouse brain. The results of a study that aimed to understand the mechanisms of this effect are presented here. A gene expression profile analysis indicated that genes regulated by taurine have roles in proliferation, cellular adhesion, cell survival, and mitochondrial functioning. Together with additional functional analyses, the results suggest that taurine provides more favorable conditions for cell proliferation by improving mitochondrial functioning. The total RNA from the control and taurine NPC cultures was used to produce tagged complementary DNA (cDNA) probes. Hybridation analysis used the mouse 65-mer oligo library from Sigma-Genosys to compare the expression of 23,232 gene-specific oligonucleotide probes for mouse.

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most prevalent and aggressive malignant primary brain tumor. GBM proximal to the lateral ventricles (LVs) is more aggressive, potentially due to subventricular zone (SVZ) contact. Despite this, crosstalk between GBM and neural stem/progenitor cells (NSC/NPCs) is not well understood. Using cell-specific proteomics, we show that LV-proximal GBM prevents neuronal maturation of NSCs through induction of senescence. Additionally, interaction with NPCs increases cathepsin B (CTSB) expression in GBM brain tumor initiating cells (BTICs). Lentiviral knockdown and recombinant protein experiments reveal both cell-intrinsic and soluble CTSB promote malignancy-associated BTIC phenotypes. Soluble CTSB stalls neuronal maturation in NPCs while promoting senescence, providing a link between LV-tumor proximity and neurogenesis disruption. Finally, we show LV-proximal CTSB upregulation in patients, showing the relevance of this crosstalk in human GBM biology. These results demonstrate the value of proteomic analysis in tumor microenvironment research and provide direction for new therapeutic strategies in GBM.

Project description:Adult mouse subventricular zone (SVZ) neural progenitor cells (NPCs) retain the capacity to generate multiple lineages in vitro and in vivo. Thus far, the mechanisms involved in the regulation of these cells have not been well elucidated. We have carried out RNA profiling of adult SVZ cell cultures undergoing differentiation, to identify pathways that regulate progenitor cell proliferation and to define a set of transcripts that can be used as molecular tools in the drug discovery process. We carried out a stepwise stratification of the results to identify transcripts specifically enriched in NPCs and validated some of these using comparative literature analysis, quantitative PCR and immunological techniques. The results show a set of transcription factors, secreted molecules, and plasma membrane markers which are differentially regulated during differentiation. Pathway analysis highlights alterations in IGF, Wnt and TGFbeta signalling cascades. Further characterization of these components could provide greater insight into the mechanisms involved in the regulation of neurogenesis in the adult brain.

Project description:Background: Metabolic dysregulation has been implicated in bronchopulmonary dysplasia development. Taurine is an essential amino acid for neonates and is critically involved in glucose and fatty acid metabolism. Neonatal tissue obtains taurine mainly through the taurine transporter. The biological role of taurine in neonatal lung development has never been explored. As glucose metabolism mechanistically modulates angiogenesis and angiogenesis is the central player for neonatal lung development, we hypothesize that taurine depletion contributes to bronchopulmonary dysplasia development. Results: Although most genes and proteins for oxidative phosphorylation were enriched in hyperoxia pup lungs, the complex-1 activity decreased. The decrease in taurine-dependent complex-1 core subunits, ND5 and ND6, in hyperoxia lungs reasonably explained the discrepancy. Metabolomics analysis demonstrated decreased lung taurine with increased blood taurine of hyperoxia pups, compatible with the decreased taurine transporter expression. Decreased glycosylation and increased degradation explained the decreased taurine transporter expression. The results of the complementary study using tunicamycin and tauroursodeoxycholic acid studies supported that endoplasmic reticulum stress contributes to decreased taurine transporter expression in hyperoxia lungs. The effect of taurine treatment on reducing endoplasmic reticulum stress, increasing ND5 and ND6 expression, angiogenesis, and, most importantly, the alveolar formation is beneficial to hyperoxia rat pups. Conclusion: Hyperoxia exposure causes endoplasmic reticulum stress, increases taurine transporter degradation, and leads to taurine depletion in the neonatal lungs with subsequent metabolic dysregulation, resulting in poor alveolar formation of the neonatal lungs. We provide evidence of the never-being-reported protective role of taurine in neonatal lung development. The fact that taurine attenuates the severity of bronchopulmonary dysplasia by reducing hyperoxia-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress and mitochondrial dysfunction indicates its therapeutic potential for treating bronchopulmonary dysplasia.

Further characterization of these components could provide greater insight into the mechanisms involved in the regulation of neurogenesis in the adult brain. Mouse subventricular zone neural stem cells cultures were prepared from C57Bl6/J mice (Johansson et al.,1999) and cultured in suspension in DFEM/F12 1:1 supplemented with PSF, B27 supplement and EGF/ FGF-2 at 20ng/ml. RNA was isolated from either expanding neurospheres in the presence of FGF2 and EGF (Reynolds and Weiss, 1992; Gritti et al., 1999), or from cultures induced to differentiate upon growth factor withdrawal or serum exposure, either after 24 hours (in suspension, to avoid changes induced by substrate attachment) or 5 days (as adherent cultures in poly-lysine and laminin-coated plates). Experiments were conducted in triplicate from independent batches of SVZ preparations. As a control for potential effects of media changes, a set of identical cultures were included where cells were grown for a further 24 hours in fresh media containing FGF2 and EGF (20 ng/ml each, normal growth media, NGM). Fluorescently labelled aRNA from individual samples were competitively hybridised against a pool of labelled aRNA from undifferentiated reference (starting) material on custom Agilent microarrays representing ~22,500 mouse transcripts. Technical, fluor-reversed hybridisations were performed for every sample.

Project description:The precise temporal regulation of the cellular properties of neural progenitor cells (NPCs) is essential for the histogenesis of the cerebral cortex. Neuroepithelial cells, the primary NPCs, transit to radial glia with astroglial properties. To coincide with this transition, NPCs start to differentiate into neurons, undergoing a switch from symmetric to asymmetric cell division. After the onset of neurogenesis, NPCs produce layer-specific neurons in a defined order. Here, we show that GABAA receptors and taurine are involved in this regulatory mechanism. Fetal exposure to GABAA blockers suppressed the transition to radial glia, the switch to asymmetric division and the differentiation into upper-layer neurons. Fetal exposure to GABAA positive modulators caused the opposite effects. Ca2+ imaging studies showed that NPCs principally responded to taurine, but not GABA, which is derived principally from mothers, before E13 via picrotoxin-sensitive receptors. Fetal exposure to GABAA receptor modulators resulted in considerable alterations in offspring behavior.

Project description:Transforming growth factor (TGF)-ß1 is a multifunctional cytokine regulating a number of physiological and patho-physiological processes in the adult brain. Its expression is elevated during neurodegeneration, which is associated with reduced levels of neurogenesis. We have postulated that TGF-ß1 might be one of the crucial factors involved in limiting neurogenesis in the diseased brain. We used microarrays to detail the gene expression profile after TGFbeta-1 treatment and identified distinct classes of up- and downregulated genes. Keywords: control versus TGFbeta1 treated group Adult rat subventricular zone cells were cultured for 7 days under proliferation conditions. Control cells were exposed to HCl/BSA whereas TGFbeta-1 treated cells received 10 ng/ml TGFbeta-1 dissolved in HCl/BSA 3 times per week. RNA was extracted followed by hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
