Project description:Using microarray analyses and subsequent verification by RT-PCR, we studied the changes in gene expression in the inferior colliculus after an ictal event in one models of audiogenic epilepsy, Wistar audigenic rat (WAR). WAR is a genetically selected strain susceptible to audiogenic seizures that was inbred in the School of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto (Brazil) beginning in 1990. This strain is a model of audiogenic idiopathic epilepsy that develops tonic-clonic generalized seizures. Genetic animal models of epilepsy are an important tool for further understanding the basic cellular mechanisms underlying epileptogenesis and for developing novel antiepileptic drugs. We conducted a comparative study of gene expression in the inferior colliculus, a nucleus that triggers audiogenic seizures, using two animal models, the Wistar audiogenic rat (WAR) and the genetic audiogenic seizure hamster (GASH:Sal). For this purpose, both models were subjected to auditory stimulation, and 60 minutes after stimulation, the inferior colliculi were collected. As a control, intact Wistar rats and Syrian hamsters were subjected to identical stimulation and tissue preparation protocols to those performed on the experimental animals. A total of 15 animals were used in this study according to the following distribution: 9 male WAR and 6 male control rats (Rattus norvegicus, Wistar albino, Charles River Laboratories) at 12 weeks of age and a body weight of approximately 230 g. The animals were exposed to auditory stimulation, and 60 min after the seizures, we harvested the IC for all gene expression analyses. As controls, normal Wistar rats were exposed to the same stimulation according to the identical procedure. For gene microarray (Rat Gene 1.0 ST), the rats were randomly divided into two groups, and we used both sides of the IC (ipsilateral and contralateral) from each animal: stimulated Wistar rats and stimulated WAR rats.

Project description:Using microarray analyses and subsequent verification by RT-PCR, we studied the changes in gene expression in the inferior colliculus after an ictal event in one models of audiogenic epilepsy, genetic audiogenic seizure hamster (GASH:Sal). GASH:Sal, a hamster strain developed at the University of Salamanca, exhibits genetic audiogenic epilepsy similar to human Grand Mal epilepsy. GASH:Sal shows an autosomal recessive inheritance for susceptibility to audiogenic seizures, which manifest more severely in young animals; the seizure severity progressively declines with age.

Six animals Syrian and GASH:Sal hamsters, respectively, were exposed to auditory stimulation, and 60 min after the seizures, we harvested the IC for all gene expression analyses (stimulated Syrian hamsters and stimulated GASH:Sal hamsters). As controls, other six animals Syrian and GASH:Sal hamsters, respectively, were not exposed to the same stimulation (Syrian hamsters and GASH:Sal hamsters).

Project description:The Wistar Audiogenic Rat (WAR) is a model whose rats are predisposed to develop seizures following acoustic stimulation. We aimed to establish the transcriptional profile of the WAR model, searching for genes that help in understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in the predisposition and seizures expression of this strain. RNA-Seq of the corpora quadrigemina of WAR and Wistar rats subjected to acoustic stimulation revealed 64 genes differentially regulated in WAR. We validated twelve of these genes by qPCR in stimulated and naive (nonstimulated) WAR and Wistar rats. Among these, Acsm3 was upregulated in WAR in comparison with both control groups. In contrast, Gpr126 and Rtel1 were downregulated in naive and stimulated WAR rats in comparison with the Wistar controls. Qdpr was upregulated only in stimulated WAR rats that exhibited audiogenic seizures. Our data show that there are genes with differential intrinsic regulation in the WAR model and that seizures can alter gene regulation. We identified new genes that might be involved in the epileptic phenotype and comorbidities of the WAR model.

Project description:The GASH/Sal hamster (Genetic audiogenic seizure, Salamanca) is a model of audiogenic seizures with the epileptogenic focus localized in the inferior colliculus (IC). The sound-induced seizures exhibit a short latency (7-9 seconds), which implies innate protein disturbances in the IC as a basis for seizure susceptibility and generation. Here, we aim to study the protein profile in the GASH/Sal IC in comparison to controls. Protein samples from the IC were processed for enzymatic digestion and then analyzed by mass spectrometry in Data-Independent Acquisition mode. After identifying the proteins using the UniProt database, we selected those with differential expression. We identified 5254 proteins, of which 184 were differentially expressed, 126 upregulated and 58 downregulated. Moreover, a small number of proteins were uniquely found in the GASH/Sal or the control. The resuls indicated a protein profile alteration in the epileptogenic nucleus that might underlie the innate occuring audiogenic seizures in the GASH/Sal model.

Project description:Audiogenic epilepsy (AE), developing in rodent strains in response to loud sound, is widely used as the model of generalized convulsive epilepsy. The molecular and genetic mechanisms that determine the expression of AE are currently non well understood. In the present work we compared transcriptomes from the inferior and superior colliculi (corpora quadrigemina), the crucial epileptogenic midbrain zone for AE in order to identify genes associated to the AE phenotype. Transcriptomes of rats from three strains were compared: Krushinsky-Molodkina (KM) strain (100% AE-prone); Wistar outbred rats (with no AE proneness) and "0" strain, selected from F2 KMxWistar hybrids for the lack of AE. It is shown that KM strain gene expression profile have a number of characteristic differences from those of Wistar and "0" strains. In particular, KM has increased expression of a number of genes involved in positive regulation of the MAPK signaling cascade, as well as genes, responsible for positive regulation of apoptotic processes. The next characteristic difference between the KM strain from Wistar and "0" is a multiple increase in the expression level of the Ttr gene, which is known to be associated with family amyloid polyneuropathy in humans. Further, the KM strain showed a significant decrease in the expression of the Msh3 gene involved in the DNA mismatch repair system, Acsm5, coding a mitochondrial acyl-CoA synthetase specific for medium chain family member 5, and in a number of genes of the oxidative phosphorylation system, and a number of some other genes. Our data confirm the complex multigenic nature of AE inheritance in rodents. A comparison with the data obtained from other AE rodent strains suggests that the convulsive phenotype could develop differently in audiogenic rat strains selected independently. Although, the finding of parallel differences in certain genes expression in AE-prone hamsters (another rodent species) indicate the common (and crucial) neurogenetic defects, leading to AE phenotype in rodents in general.
