Genome-wide profiling of hypothalamus, cerebellum, striatum, and frontal cortex across young, middle-aged, and aged mice

ABSTRACT: We describe age-related molecular and neuronal changes that disrupt mobility or energy balance based on brain region and genetic background. Compared to young mice, aged C57BL/6 mice exhibit marked locomotor (but not energy balance) impairments. In contrast, aged BALB mice exhibit marked energy balance (but not locomotor) impairments. Age-related changes in cerebellar or hypothalamic gene expression accompany these phenotypes. Aging evokes upregulation of immune pattern recognition receptors and cell adhesion molecules. However, these changes do not localize to microglia, the major CNS immunocyte. Consistent with a neuronal role, there is a marked age-related increase in excitatory synapses over the cerebellum and hypothalamus. Functional imaging of these regions is consistent with age-related synaptic impairments. These studies suggest that aging reactivates a developmental program employed during embryogenesis where immune molecules guide synapse formation and pruning. Renewed activity in this program may disrupt excitatory neurotransmission, causing significant behavioral deficits. keywords: aging, C57BL/6, BALB, CBA, hypothalamus, cerebellum, striatum, frontal cortex

Wildtype Mouse Hypothalamus Cerebellum Fed Fast

Project description:The hypothalamus is a key site for the integration of the response to nutrient deprivation in higher organisms. Transcripts that are dynamically regulated in the hypothalamus by feeding and fasting are likely to play a regulatory role in energy balance. In order to identify hypothalamic genes whose expression is altered by fasting, we compared the transcriptomes of hypothalamic blocks from freely feeding vs overnight fasted mice using whole genome oligonucleotide arrays. In order to exclude changes due to non-specific neuronal stress responses to energy deprivation we simultaneously profiled the cerebellum, a brain site with no known regulatory role in energy balance. The power of this approach was illustrated by the fact that while we confirmed previous observations that the Sulfotransferase family 1A gene is upregulated by fasting in the hypothalamus, we showed that it was similarly upregulated in the cerebellum and is therefore unlikely to be specifically involved in the regulation of energy balance. In contrast, using three different methods of pathway enrichment analysis, multiple genes involved in mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation were found to be co-ordinately downregulated by fasting in the hypothalamus but not in the cerebellum. These findings suggest that a switch from oxidative to non-oxidative metabolism in the hypothalamus may be an important element of the homeostatic response to nutrient deprivation. Keywords: hypothalamus, cerebellum, fasting, appetite, obesity

Astrocyte-enriched pan-brain aging transcriptome

Project description:Normal brain aging is marked by a cognitive decline, spurred by changes in cellular metabolism and homeostatic dysregulation, as well as modifications in synapses and neuronal connectivity. Astrocytes are well positioned as an effector of these changes, although how properties of astrocytes change with age remains unclear. Here, we address this question by profiling astrocytic gene expression from multiple brain regions of adult (4 month-old) and aged (2 years-old) mice. We isolated mRNA from transgenic mice where ribosomes within astrocytes were genetically tagged (GFAP-cre x RPL22-HA, astrocyte ribotag). We then used RNA sequencing to identify and quantify the astrocyte-enriched mRNA, analyzing 4 different brain regions: visual cortex, somatomotor cortex, hypothalamus, and cerebellum. Overall, we find that astrocyte expression of inflammatory and immune response factors increase with age, as well as changes in genes associated with metabolism, cholesterol synthesis, and synaptogenesis. Going forward, these data contribute to an understanding of astrocyte diversity and provide insight into the role of astrocytes in normal aging.

Molecular profiling of dorsal raphe nucleus Vgat and VGLUT3-expressing neurons

Project description:Hunger, driven by negative energy balance, elicits the search for and consumption of food. In mammals, this is orchestrated principally through the activity of neurons in the hypothalamus, direct manipulation of which can potently drive food intake. However, the neural circuits outside of the hypothalamus that control feeding are poorly understood. Here, we identify two functionally opponent cell types within the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN), marked by the vesicular transporters for GABA (Vgat) or glutamate (VGLUT3), that project to many known feeding centers and rapidly control feeding. We find that DRNVgat neurons drive, while DRNVGLUT3 neurons suppress, food intake. Furthermore, through the development and application of cell type-specific molecular profiling technologies, we identify many differentially expressed transmembrane receptors, which may represent unique druggable targets. Local application of agonists for these receptors potently modulates feeding, recapitulating the effects of cell-specific manipulations. Together, these data establish a key role for the DRN in controlling food intake and add an important anatomic site that controls energy balance.

Cancer anorexia: the role of serotonin in hypothalamic resistance of the neuropeptide Y system [A286_GEO_LLM]

Project description:Anorexia is a common symptom among cancer patients and contributes to malnutrition and insufficient food intake. In cancer-induced anorexia, food intake regulation in the hypothalamus appears to be impaired. A negative energy balance persists and accelerates muscle wasting and malnutrition. Moreover, it strongly affects mortality and survival in these patients. Here, we show that the neuropeptide Y system (NPY) appears to fail to respond adequately to changes in energy balance during cancer cachexia. In addition, we investigate the connection between serotonin and NPY release in hypothalamic cell lines. Lewis Lung tumour cells were intramuscularly inoculated 6w old male C57BL/6 mice. Body weight and food intake were measured 3 times a week. On day 10, 14 and 17 hypothalamus was dissected and used for gene expression profiling.

Profiling of hypothalamus tissue from the F2 M16xICR mouse cross.

Project description:We profiled gene expression in hypothalamus tissue from F2 progeny from a cross between the outbred M16 (selectively bred for rapid weight gain) and ICR (control) mouse strains. We developed a framework for reconstructing tissue-to-tissue coexpression networks between genes in hypothalamus, liver or hypothalamus tissues that are independent of networks constructed from single tissue analyses. The subnetworks we identify as specific to tissue-to-tissue interactions associate with multiple obesity-relevant biological functions like circadian rhythm, energy balance, stress response, or immune response. Keywords: Tissue profiling in a mouse F2 cross. We analyzed 308 hypothalamus samples.

Adipocyte-specific inactivation of NAMPT, a key NAD+ biosynthetic enzyme, causes a metabolically-unhealthy lean phenotype in female mice during aging

Project description:Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a universal coenzyme regulating cellular energy metabolism in many cell types. Recent studies have demonstrated the close relationships between defective NAD+ metabolism and aging and age-associated metabolic diseases. The major purpose of the present study was to test the hypothesis that NAD+ biosynthesis, mediated by a rate-limiting NAD+ biosynthetic enzyme, nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), is essential for maintaining normal adipose tissue function and whole-body metabolic health during the aging process. To this end, we provided in-depth and comprehensive metabolic assessments for female adipocyte-specific Nampt knockout (ANKO) mice during aging. We first evaluated body fat mass in young (≤ 4-month-old), middle aged (10 to 14-month-old), and old (≥ 18-month-old) mice. Intriguingly, adipocyte-specific Nampt deletion protected against age-induced obesity without changing energy balance. However, data obtained from the hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp procedure demonstrated that, despite the lean phenotype, old ANKO mice had severe insulin resistance in skeletal muscle, heart, and white adipose tissue (WAT). Old ANKO mice also exhibited hyperinsulinemia and hypoadiponectinemia. Mechanistically, loss of Nampt caused marked decreases in WAT gene expression of lipogenic targets of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) in an age-dependent manner. In addition, administration of a PPARγ agonist rosiglitazone restored fat mass and improved metabolic abnormalities in old ANKO mice. In conclusion, these findings highlight the importance of the NAMPT-NAD+-PPARγ axis in maintaining functional integrity and quantity of adipose tissue, and whole-body metabolic function in female mice during aging.

Hypothalamus-specific NSCs derived from human brain organoids ameliorate age-associated dysfunction upon transplantation into aged mouse hypothalamus [mouse]

Project description:The hypothalamus is the brain region that regulates systemic body metabolism and multiple functions in other brain regions. In adult mice, the hypothalamus harbors neural stem/precursor cell (NSC)-like cells. Along with the dysregulation of body metabolism and physiology that occurs during aging, the NSC population in the hypothalamus declines with age. Here, we introduce a novel protocol that yields scalable and storable hypothalamus-specific NSCs (htNSCs) from hypothalamus-like organoids derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). Implanting htNSCs into the medio-basal hypothalami of aged mice conspicuously ameliorated age-related declines in metabolic fitness, physical capacity, and cognitive function and produced corresponding histologic changes in various body tissues. Single transcriptome and immunohistochemical analyses of the grafted hypothalamic tissues showed that the anti-aging effects were attained by correcting glial NF-κB, TNFα, and NLRP3 inflammasome pathways. Collectively, our findings support the potential of anti- or healthy aging therapies that target htNSCs and hypothalamic inflammation.
