Project description:Excessive alcohol consumption adversely affects the immune system and triggers the activation of peripheral blood (PB) monocytes and tissue macrophages, contributing to alcohol- related organ damage. This study aimed to analyze the M1/M2 and inflammatory phenotypes of circulating monocytes and macrophage-derived monocytes (MDMs). This single-center cross- sectional study included 20 excessive alcohol drinkers (EADs) and 22 healthy controls. PB samples were collected under fasting conditions for isolation of CD14+ monocytes and short-term culture without stimulation, LPS/IFNγ, or IL4/IL13. These conditions were also used to polarize monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) into M0, M1, or M2 phenotypes. Cytokine production was assessed in the blood samples and supernatants. M1/M2 related markers in PB monocytes and MDMs were analyzed using mRNA expression and surface marker analyses. In addition, the miRNA profile was analyzed in CD14+ monocytes. PB samples from EADs exhibited increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Project description:Here, we identify persistent and substantial variation in ethanol drinking behavior within an inbred mouse strain and utilize this model to identify gene networks influencing such non-genetic variation in ethanol intake. C57BL/6NCrl mice showed persistent inter-individual variation of ethanol intake in a two-bottle choice paradigm over a three week period, ranging from less than 1 g/kg to over 14 g/kg ethanol in an 18h interval. Whole genome microarray expression analysis in nucleus accumbens, prefrontal cortex and ventral tegmental area of individual animals identified gene expression patterns correlated with ethanol intake. Results included several gene networks previously implicated in ethanol behaviors, such as glutamate signaling, BDNF and genes involved in synaptic vesicle function. Additionally, genes functioning in epigenetic chromatin or DNA modifications such as acetylation and/or methylation also had expression patterns correlated with ethanol intake. Our results thus implicate specific brain regional gene networks, including chromatin modification factors, as potentially important mechanisms underlying individual variation in ethanol intake.

Project description:Increased ethanol intake, a major predictor for the development of alcohol use disorders, is facilitated by the development of tolerance to both the aversive and pleasurable effects of the drug. The molecular mechanisms underlying ethanol tolerance development are complex and are not yet well understood. To identify genetic mechanisms that contribute to ethanol tolerance, we examined the time course of gene expression changes elicited by a single sedating dose of ethanol in Drosophila.

Project description:This is the first description of the relationship between chronic ethanol self-administration and the brain transcriptome in a non-human primate (rhesus macaque). Twenty nine male animals self-administered ethanol on a daily basis for over 12 months. Gene transcription was quantified with RNA-Seq in the cortical Area 32. We constructed coexpression and cosplicing networks, and we identified areas of preservation and areas of differentiation between regions and network types. Correlations between intake and transcription included largely distinct gene sets and annotation categories across brain regions and between expression and splicing; positive and negative correlationswere also associated with distinct annotation groups. Our cosplicing analysis further identified the genes affected only at the exon inclusion level. In the Area 32 coexpression network, we identified a distinct hub set that included Ppp3r1 and Myeov2. Overall, the data illustrate that excessive ethanol self-administration is associated with broad expression and splicing mechanisms that involve membrane and synapse genes.

Project description:The current study was undertaken to expand on observations that transcriptome changes identified in the NAcc of Rhesus macaques underlies excessive ethanol consumption. Genome-wide RNA-Seq was used to examine the NAcc transcriptome in control, low/binge drinking and heavy/very heavy drinking animals. One key goal of the study was to determine if, as predicted and suggested by the epigenetic studies, excessive chronic ethanol consumption involves genes enriched in annotations associated with synaptic plasticity and specifically glutamate and GABA signaling plasticity.

Project description:Folate is crucial for diverse biological processes including neurogenesis. While folate supplementation during pregnancy is standard for preventing neural tube defects (NTDs), concerns are growing over the potential risks of excessive maternal intake. In this study, we employed spatial transcriptomics and single-nucleus multi-omics techniques to investigate the impact of increased maternal folate intake on offspring brain development. Elevated folate intake broadly affected gene pathways linked to neurogenesis and neuronal axon myelination across multiple brain regions. Furthermore, specific gene expression alterations related to learning and memory processes emerged in thalamic and ventricular regions. Single-nucleus multi-omics analysis revealed that maturing excitatory neurons in dentate gyrus are particularly vulnerable to suboptimal maternal folate intake. Aberrant gene expression and chromatin accessibility changes were primarily centered on pathways governing ribosomal biogenesis, which is critical for synaptic formation. Altogether, our findings provide novel insights into how excessive maternal folate supplementation affects offspring brain development, notably by influencing gene expression and chromatin accessibility.

Voluntary two-bottle choice drinking was performed as described previously (Khisti et al. 2006). Briefly, two bottles containing 10%(w/v) ethanol (Aaper Alcohol and Chemical Co. Shelbyville, KY) or tap water were placed into the home cage at the beginning of the dark cycle. Tube position was varied every two days (L, L, R, R). Drinking sessions lasted 18 hours/day followed by 6 hours access to water only. Mice had four consecutive drinking sessions followed by four days of abstinence repeated four times to give 16 total drinking sessions. Three brain regions were harvested 6 days after the last drinking session: prefrontal cortex (PFC), nucleus accumbens (NAc) and ventral tegmental area (VTA) as previously described (Kerns et al. 2005). Labeled cRNA from individual animals (n=19) was hybridized to a single microarray for each brain region (n=58 total microarrays).
