Project description:Epilepsy is a common neurological disease, manifested in unprovoked recurrent seizures. Epileptogenesis may develop due to genetic or pharmacological origins or following injury, but it remains unclear how the unaffected brain escapes this susceptibility to seizures. Here, we report that dynamic changes in forebrain microRNA (miR)-211 in the mouse brain shift the threshold for spontaneous and pharmacologically-induced seizures alongside changes in the cholinergic pathway genes, implicating this miR in the avoidance of seizures. We identified miR-211 as a putative attenuator of cholinergic-mediated seizures by intersecting forebrain miR profiles that were Ago-precipitated, synaptic vesicle target-enriched or differentially expressed under pilocarpine-induced seizures, and validated TGFBR2 and the nicotinic anti-inflammatory acetylcholine receptor nAChRa7 as murine and human miR-211 targets, respectively. To explore the link between miR-211 and epilepsy, we engineered dTg-211 mice with doxycycline-suppressible forebrain overexpression of miR-211. These mice reacted to doxycycline exposure by spontaneous electrocorticography-documented non-convulsive seizures, accompanied by forebrain accumulation of the convulsive seizures-mediating miR-134. RNA-sequencing demonstrated in doxycycline-treated dTg-211 cortices over-representation of synaptic activity, Ca2+ transmembrane transport, TGFβR-II signaling and cholinergic synapse pathways. Additionally, a cholinergic dis-regulated mouse model over-expressing a miR-refractory acetylcholinesterase-R splice variant showed a parallel propensity for convulsions, miR-211 decreases and miR-134 elevation. Our findings demonstrate that in mice, dynamic miR-211 decreases induce hyper-synchronization, non-convulsive and convulsive seizures, accompanied by expression changes in cholinergic and TGFBR2 pathways as well as in miR-134. Realizing the importance of miR-211 dynamics opens new venues for translational diagnosis of and interference with epilepsy.

Project description:We have generated transgenic mice with tetracycline-regulated conditional expression of a constitutively active allele of FoxO3 under the control of the forebrain-specific CaMKIIa promoter. In adult animals, there was a reduction of brain weight by 30% and an almost complete loss of the dorsal dentate gyrus with normal cortical layering. Interestingly, the adult mice showed motor hyperactivity and a selective loss of long-term memory with normal spatial learning. We observed enhanced apoptosis starting from day E10.5. Performing microarray expression analyses and Q-PCR validation with E12.5 forebrain RNA, we observed an over-representation of thalamic markers and an under-representation of cortical markers in transgenic as compared to control animals. Immunohistochemical data show a loss of progenitors in the lateral ventricles. Up-regulation of Pik3ip1 as a target gene of FoxO3 could be responsible for the observed increase in apoptosis. The obtained forebrain expression signature is reminiscent of a Pax6 knockdown phenotype showing that expression of this FoxO3 allele during development affected neural progenitor survival and overall brain development. Conclusion: Neural progenitors are vulnerable to constitutively active FoxO3-induced apoptosis. We sought to determine the transcriptional differences in forebrains from E12.5 mice expressing a constitutively active alleleof FoxO3 under the control of the forebrain-specific CaMKIIa promoter. To this end two time-pregnant dams were sacrificed 12 days after the vaginal plug was detected, and the embryos were prepared. Visual staging of the embryos confirmed their age. Genotyping and luciferase measurements were performed in order to assess presence and acitivity of the transgenes.

Project description:Hyperactivated mTOR signaling in the developing brain by mutation of TSC1 genes has multiple forms of pathology including tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). To examine the downstream networks affected in the developing brain by hyperactivated mTOR signaling, we performed an integrated analysis of transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of forebrain of wild-type and TSC1/Emx1-Cre mouse. Our results provide novel and fundamental molecular bases for understanding hyperactivaed mTOR signaling-induced brain defects which can in turn facilitate identification of potential diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets for mTOR signaling-related neurological disorders.

Project description:Early childhood convulsions have been correlated with hippocampal neuron loss in patients with intractable temporal lobe epilepsy. Using a "two-hit" rat seizure model, we have shown that animals subjected to kainate (KA)- or hypoxia-induced seizures during early postnatal period showed no cell death, yet sustained more extensive neuronal death after second seizures in adulthood. An early life seizure, without causing overt cellular injury, predisposes the brain to the damaging effect of seizures in later life. Cellular and molecular changes that accompany early seizures and that lead to subsequent epileptogenesis and increased susceptibility to seizure-induced neuronal injury, however, remain poorly understood. We propose to investigate age-specific, time-dependent changes in gene expression that may underlie this priming effect of early-life seizures. We will determine the sequence of gene expression pattern in the hippocampus at various times following KA induced seizures at postnatal day (P) 15. Previous studies have shown that AMPA receptor subtype of glutamate receptors play a crucial role in the age-specific vulnerability and in the long-term epileptogenic effects of perinatal hypoxia seizures. We found that AMPA receptor antagonists block the increased susceptibility caused by early life seizures to later seizures and seizure-induced brain damage. We hypothesize that an alteration of AMPA receptor composition is one of many changes caused by early-life seizures that leads to an increase in Ca2+ permeability, which then results in cascade of downstream events and modifies array of gene expression that promote epileptogenesis and susceptibility to neuronal death in later life. We will examine three time points: 1hr, 72 hr, and 15 days following systemic KA-induced seizures at P15 as we have previously observed structural changes within the hippocampus at these time points. Within an hour of KA seizures, a marked swelling of dendrites, disassembly of dendritic microtubules and glycogen depletion are observed by electron microscopy. Within 5 days, basal dendrites of CA3 hippocampal pyramidal neurons show abnormal spine morphology and decreased branching pattern. 15 days after the seizures, aberrant growth of mossy fibers in the CA3 stratum oriens is observed in animals exposed to KA. Ten hippocampi will be pooled from five animals treated with KA (3mg/kg i.p.) and from five littermate controls injected with PBS. Animals will be decapitated and hippocampi will be rapidly dissected from the brain, flash frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at -80C until extraction of total RNA, which will be sent to the center. We will provide 4 tissue samples-2 controls and 2 KA, each a pool of five animals - for each time points. Mixing tissues from multiple rats will normalize single nucleotide polymorphisms and tissue heterogeneity.

Project description:Nicotine, acting through the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR), can induce seizures in mice. We aimed to study brain transcriptional response to seizure and to identify genes whose expression is altered after nicotine-induced seizures. Whole brains of untreated mice were compared to brains one hour after seizure activity, using Affymetrix U74Av2 microaarays. Experimental groups included wild-type mice and both nicotine-induced seizures sensitive and resistant nAChR mutant mice. Each genotype group received different nicotine doses to generate seizures. This approach allowed the identification of significantly changed genes whose expression was dependent on seizure activity, nicotine administration or both, but not on the type of nAChR subunit mutation or the amount of nicotine injected. Significant expression changes were detected in 62 genes (p < 0.05, FDR correction). Among them, GO functional annotation analysis determined that the most significantly over-represented categories were of genes encoding MAP kinase phosphatases, regulators of transcription and nucleosome assembly proteins. In-silico bioinformatic analysis of the promoter regions of the 62 changed genes detected the significant enrichments of 16 transcription regulatory elements (TREs), creating a network of transcriptional regulatory responses to seizures. The TREs for ATF and SRF were most significantly enriched, supporting their association with seizure activity. Our data suggest that nicotine-induced seizure in mice is a useful model to study seizure activity and its global brain transcriptional response. The differentially expressed genes detected here can help understand the molecular mechanisms underlying seizures in animal models, and may also serve as candidate genes to study epilepsy in humans. Experiment Overall Design: Whole brain expression profiles were determined in two experimental groups of mice, sixteen mice that were not treated with nicotine and twelve mice one hour after experiencing nicotine-induced seizure. The untreated group included six wild-type mice, five alpha7+/T and five beta4-/- mice. The group of mice that underwent nicotine-induced seizures included three wild-types, five alpha7+/T and four beta4-/- mice. Different doses of nicotine were injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) to each genotype group of mice in order to achieve a similar seizure score in all three genotypes.

Project description:Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) is the most common medically refractory epilepsy syndrome; kainic acid (KA) induced seizures have been studied as a MTLE model as limbic seizures produced by systemic injections of KA result in a distinctive pattern of neurodegeneration in the hippocampus that resembles human hippocampal sclerosis. In our "2-hit" seizure model, animals subjected to seizures during week 2 of life become more susceptible to seizures later in life and sustain extensive hippocampal neuronal injury after second KA seizures in adulthood. Using high-density oligonucleotide gene arrays, we began to elucidate the molecular basis of this priming effect of early-life seizures and of the age-specific neuroprotection against seizure-induced neuronal injury. We seek to identify target genes for epileptogenesis and cell death by selecting transcripts that are differentially regulated at various times in the P15 and P30 hippocampus. To screen for and identify candidate genes responsible for epileptogenesis and seizure-induced cell death. We hypothesize that active process of cell death signaling and long-term synaptic changes leading to chronic epilepsy is mediated by distinct transcriptional responses in mature brain that are different from those in immature brain. We will select for transcripts that are highly regulated at 1, 6, 24, 72 and 240 hours (h) after KA-induced seizures at P30 compared to P15. These differentially regulated genes will serve as potential target genes for therapeutic intervention. Highly regulated genes identified in our array analysis will then be confirmed by real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Causative roles of select genes will be directly tested by gene silencing using RNA interference technology or by gene delivery using viral vectors.
