E2F3a mediates cocaine action in nucleus accumbens via alternative splicing and transcription

ABSTRACT: Long-lasting changes in neuronal gene expression in brain reward regions, including the nucleus accumbens (NAc), contribute to the persistent functional changes in the addicted brain. Our group and others have demonstrated that altered expression or activity of several candidate transcription factors in NAc regulates drug responses. In a recent study from our group (Feng et al., 2014), involving large-scale genome-wide datasets, E2F3 was predicted as a prominent upstream regulator of cocaine-induced changes in gene expression and alternative splicing. Here, we show that E2F3a, but not E2F3b, expression in NAc regulates cocaine-induced locomotor and reward behavior. Furthermore, we demonstrate that E2F3a overexpression recapitulates a considerable portion of genome-wide transcriptional profiles and alternative splicing induced by cocaine administration. We further validate functional binding of E2F3a at several target genes following cocaine exposure. These novel findings support a crucial role for E2F3a in the regulation of cocaine-elicited behavioral states and molecular mechanisms.

Role of Tet1 and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in cocaine action (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Here we show that Tet1 is down-regulated in mouse nucleus accumbens (NAc), a key brain reward structure, by repeated cocaine administration which enhances behavioral responses to cocaine. Through genome-wide 5hmC profiling, we identified 5hmC changes selectively clustered in both enhancer and coding regions of genes with several annotated neural functions. By coupling with mRNA sequencing, we found cocaine-induced alterations in 5hmC correlate positively with alternative splicing. We also demonstrated that 5hmC alteration at certain genes lasts up to a month after cocaine exposure. RNA Nac samples were collected at various time points after 7 daily cocaoine ip administration for 5hmC and transcriptome analysis

Histone Arginine Methylation in Cocaine Action: Essential Role of Src Signaling in the Nucleus Accumbens

Project description:Despite addiction being one of the most prevalent and debilitating disorders worldwide, effective treatments are lacking. Repeated cocaine exposure induces maladaptive transcriptional regulation within the brainâ??s reward circuitry, such as the nucleus accumbens (NAc), and epigenetic mechanisms, such as histone acetylation or methylation on Lys (K) residues, have been linked to these lasting actions of cocaine. However, in contrast to K methylation, the functional role of histone Arg (R) methylation remains unexplored in addiction models and poorly understood in brain in general. Here we show that protein-R-methyltransferase-6 (PRMT6) and its associated histone mark, asymmetric dimethylation of R2 on histone H3 (H3R2me2a), are decreased in the NAc of mice and rats after repeated cocaine exposure, as well as in the NAc of cocaine-addicted humans. PRMT6 downregulation occurs selectively in NAc medium spiny neurons expressing dopamine D2 receptors (D2-MSNs) and serves to protect against cocaine-induced addictive-like behavioral abnormalities. Using ChIP-seq, we demonstrate that reduced H3R2me2a binding at gene targets in NAc after repeated cocaine is strongly correlated with increased binding of H3K4me3, and identify Src kinase signaling inhibitor 1 (Srcin1 or p140Cap) as a key gene for these chromatin modifications. Cocaine induction of Srcin1 in NAc, which is associated with reduced Src signaling, decreases cocaine reward, the motivation to self administer cocaine, and cocaine-induced changes in NAc MSN dendritic spines. These results suggest that this suppression of Src signaling in NAc D2-MSNs, via PRMT6 and H3R2me2a downregulation, functions as a homeostatic brake to restrain cocaine action, and provide novel candidates for the development of new treatments for cocaine addiction.

E2f regulation of gene expression in the liver [1 mo]

Project description:E2FÂs are regulators of the cell cycle and are involved in development. In this study we examine transcriptional changes occurring the liver in E2f1 (1KI) and E2f3b (3bKI) knock in mice. These mice have E2f1 or E2f3b knocked into the E2F3a locus resulting in loss of E2f3a and expression of E2f1 or E2f3b from the E2f3a locus as originally described In Tsai et. al., Nature 2008. Microarrays were used to evaluate transcriptional changes due to alterations in E2F expression during liver development. Affymetrix microarrays were performed using RNA samples from 4 weeks (1 month) old livers from wildtype (wt), E2F3a knockout (3aKO) E2f1 knock-in (1KI) and E2f3b knock-in (3bKI) mice.
