Project description:Three brain regions of the limbic system, the amygdala, hippocampus and hypothalamus, are responsible for survival behaviors such as feeding and physical challenging. Hypothalamus works together with pituitary and adrenal gland (HPA-axis) to adjust homeostatic state by modulating stress-response hormones. Unraveling molecular signatures such as DNA methylation of these tissues may provide deeper insights into a link between epigenetic regulation and phenotypic plasticity of behavioral responses of animals. We examined the DNA methylation profile of amygdala (n = 20), hippocampus (n = 20), hypothalamus (n = 19) as well as a non-brain tissue, adrenal gland (n=19) of German Landrace pigs using a cost effective method, Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (RRBS).

Project description:Wolfram syndrome is caused by mutations in the WFS1 gene. WFS1 protein dysfunction results in a range of neuroendocrine syndromes and is mostly characterized by juvenile-onset diabetes mellitus and optic atrophy. WFS1 has been shown to participate in membrane trafficking, protein processing and Ca2+ homeostasis in the endoplasmic reticulum. In the present study we aimed to find the transcriptomic changes influenced by Wfs1 in the hypothalamus and hippocampus using RNA-sequencing. We used WFS1-deficient mice as a model system to analyze the changes in transcriptional networks. The number of differentially expressed genes between hypothalami of WFS1-deficient (Wfs1KO) and wild-type (WT) mice was 43 and between hippocampi 311 with False Discovery Rate (FDR) <0.05. In hypothalamus of Wfs1KO mice one of the most upregulated genes was Avpr1a whilst Avpr1b was significantly upregulated in hippocampus. Trpm8 was the most upregulated gene in the hippocampus of Wfs1KO mice. The functional analysis revealed significant enrichment of networks and pathways associated with protein synthesis, cell-to-cell signaling and interaction, molecular transport, metabolic disease and nervous system development and function. In conclusion, the transcriptomic profiles of WFS1-deficient hypothalamus and hippocampus do indicate the activation of degenerative molecular pathways causing the clinical occurrences typical to Wolfram syndrome.

Project description:The omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) has potent anti-atherogenic properties but its mechanisms of action at the vascular level remain poorly explored. Knowing the broad range of molecular targets of omega-3 fatty acids, microarray analysis was used to open-mindedly evaluate the effects of DHA on aorta gene expression in LDLR-/- mice and better understand its local anti-atherogenic action . Mice were fed an atherogenic diet and received daily oral gavages with oils rich in oleic acid or DHA. Bioinformatics analysis of microarray data first identified inflammation and innate immunity as processes the most affected by DHA supplementation within aorta. More precisely, several down-regulated genes were associated with the inflammatory functions of macrophages (e.g. CCL5, CCR7), cell movement (e.g. ICAM-2, SELP, PECAM-1), and the major histocompatibility complex (e.g. HLA-DQA1, HLA-DRB1). Interestingly, the expression of several genes were identified as specifc biomarkers of macrophage polarization and their changes suggested a preferential orientation towards a M2 reparative phenotype. This observation was supported by the upstream regulator analysis highlighting the involvment of three main regulators of macrophage polarization, namely PPARM-NM-3 (z-score=2.367, p=1.50x10-13), INFM-NM-3 (z-score=-2.797, p=2.81x10-14) and NFM-NM-:B (z-score=2.360, p=6.32x10-9). Moreover, immunohistological analysis of aortic root revealed an increased abundance of Arg1 (+111%, p=0.01), a specific biomarker of M2 macrophage.The present study showed for the first time that DHA supplementation during atherogenesis is associated with protective modulation of inflammation and innate immunity pathways within aorta putatively through the orientation of plaque macrophages towards a M2 reparative phenotype. Mice (LDLR-/-) Aorta samples. 2 groups: Control (K), DHA (C). Biological replicates=8. Dye switch.
