Project description:Transcriptional study to investigate differences in prefrontal cortex and striatum of mice that consumed ethanol despite negative consequences, which resembles the compulsive aspect of alcohol addiction. The transcriptional analysis performed in the striatum and prefrontal cortex revealed genes and biological pathways differentially regulated specifically in animals of the group Inflexible Drinkers that could be involved with the loss of control over voluntary ethanol consumption (da Silva E Silva et al., 2016; de Paiva Lima et al., 2017).

Project description:In order to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying individual variation in sensitivity to ethanol we profiled the prefrontal cortex transcriptomes of two inbred strains that exhibit divergent responses to acute ethanol, the C57BL6/J (B6) and DBA/2J (D2) strains, as well as 27 members of the BXD recombinant inbred panel, which was derived from a B6 x D2 cross. With this dataset we were able to identify several gene co-expression networks that were robustly altered by acute ethanol across the BXD panel. These ethanol-responsive gene-enriched networks were heavily populated by genes regulating synaptic transmission and neuroplasticity, and showed strong genetic linkage to discreet chromosomal loci. Network-based measurements of node importance identified several hub genes as established regulators of ethanol response phenotypes, while other hubs represent novel candidate modulators of ethanol responses.

Project description:Fyn kinase has been implicated in multiple behavioral responses to ethanol and in the regulation of myelin gene expression. Here we tested whether Fyn kinase modulated basal or ethanol-responsive expression of genes regulated by acute ethanol in brain regions of the mesolimbocortical dopamine pathway. Using expression profiling, we sought to define Fyn-dependent gene networks underlying ethanol behavioral traits; with emphasis on ethanol-induced loss of righting reflex (LORR) due to the reproducible association of Fyn kinase genotype with this behavioral phenotype (Miyakawa et al., 1997, Boehm et al., 2003, Yaka et al., 2003, Boehm et al., 2004b). Our expression profiling and bioinformatics results suggest multiple Fyn-related mechanisms, especially those affecting a network of myelin-related gene expression within the medial PFC, as contributing to the sedative-hypnotic properties of ethanol. Variation in the expression of these Fyn-dependent gene networks may be critical molecular endophenotypes affecting the behavioral level of response to acute ethanol, and subsequently, the long-term risk for alcohol use disorders. Adult male control (B6129SF2/J) and Fyn-kinase null (B6;129S7-Fyntm1Sor/J) mice were treated with saline or ethanol (3.0 g/kg x 4 hours) and brain regions harvested by microdissection for total RNA expression profiling by Affymetrix microarrays. Samples were randomly assigned to batch groups prior to total RNA extraction, cRNA synthesis and hybridization. Each microarray represents a pooling of 3 animals and 3 arrays were analyzed per treatment group for a total of 12 arrays per brain region. Statistical and bioinformatics analysis was used to identify Fyn-dependent effects on basal and ethanol-responsive gene expression, with a particular focus on myelin-related gene expression. This series of samples includes medial prefrontal cortex (PFC).

Project description:Animal models provide opportunity to study neurobiological aspects of human alcoholism. Changes in gene expression have been implicated in mediating brain function, including reward system and addiction. The current study aimed to identify novel genes that may underlie ethanol preference. Microarray analysis comparing gene expression in nucleus accumbens (NAc), hippocampus (HP) and prefrontal medial cortex (mPFC) was performed in two rat strains selected for extreme levels of ethanol preference - Warsaw High Preferring (WHP) and Warsaw Low Preferring (WLP). The identified candidate genes may underlie differential ethanol preference in rat model of alcoholism. This is analysis of 18 RNA samples, including 9 technical replicates. Two strains of rats selected for extreme levels of ethanol preference (low preferring WLP and high preferring WHP) were compared. Three brain areas (nucleus accumbens, prefrontal medial cortex and hippocampus) were studied. For each brain area, 6 RNA samples (including 3 technical replicates) were analyzed. Each RNA sample consist of of equal amounts of total RNA from 3 male rats. Comparisons: Nucleus accumbens of WHP vs. Nucleus accumbens of WLP; Prefrontal medial cortex of WHP vs. Prefrontal medial cortex of WLP; Hippocampus of WHP vs. Hippocampus of WLP. 3 biological replicates in each comparison.

Project description:Shank3 is a core excitatory postsynaptic protein expressed in multiple brain regions including the medial prefrontal cortex, striatum, and hippocampus. We have previously generated and characterized Shank3-overexpressing transgenic mice, and found that these mice exhibited manic-like behavioral phenotypes. To understand molecular mechanisms underlying the behavioral changes, we performed transcriptome (RNA-sequencing) analysis of the mPFC tissues from 10 to 12-week-old wild-type and Shank3 transgenic mice.

Project description:Abnormal development of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is associated with a number of neuropsychiatric disorders that have an onset in childhood or adolescence. Although the basic laminar structure of the PFC is established in utero, extensive remodeling continues into adolescence. To map the overall pattern of changes in cortical gene transcripts during post-natal development, we made serial measurements of mRNA levels in mouse PFC using oligonucleotide microarrays. We observed changes in mRNA transcripts consistent with known post-natal morphological and biochemical events. Overall, most transcripts that changed significantly showed a progressive decrease in abundance after birth, with the majority of change between post-natal weeks 2 and 4. Genes with cell proliferative, cytoskeletal, extracellular matrix, plasma membrane lipid / transport, protein folding, and regulatory functions had decreases in mRNA levels. Quantitative PCR verified the microarray results for six selected genes: DNA methyltransferase 3A (Dnmt3a), procollagen, type III, alpha 1 (Col3a1), solute carrier family 16 (monocarboxylic acid transporters), member 1 (Slc16a1), MARCKS-like 1 (Marcksl1), nidogen 1 (Nid1) and 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (heart, mitochondrial) (Bdh). Keywords: time course, development, mRNA expression Single-channel affymetrix arrays were used to profile mRNA expression in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of male mice at different time-points after birth (post-natal). Each array is an independent animal.

Animals were injected intraperitoneally (IP) with saline or 1.8 g/kg of ethanol. As part of a parallel study of ethanol induced anxiolysis, all mice underwent behavioral testing that included 15 minutes of restraint in a 50 mL conical tube followed by 10 minutes in a light-dark chamber. Mice were killed by cervical dislocation four hours following IP injection. Immediately thereafter, brains were extracted and chilled for 1 minute in iced phosphate buffer before being microdissected into 8 constituent regions, including the medial prefrontal cortex. Samples were randomly assigned to batch groups prior to total RNA extraction, cRNA synthesis and hybridization. Each microarray represent a pooling of 4-5 animals.

Project description:The prefrontal cortex is greatly associated with a wide range of mental health illnesses including schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety and autism spectrum disorders. It richly expresses neuroreceptors which are the target for typical and atypical antipsychotics. However as the precise mechanism of action of antipsychotic medications are not known, proteomic studies of the effects of antipsychotic drugs on the brain are warranted. In the current study we aimed to characterise protein expression in the adult rodent prefrontal cortex (n=5 per group) following low dose treatment with the atypical antipsychotic Risperidone or saline (control) in adolescence (postnatal days 34-47). The prefrontal cortex was examined by triplicate one hour runs of label-free LC-MS/MS. The raw mass spectral data were analyzed with the MaxQuantTM software. Statistical analysis was carried out using SAS Version 9.1. Functional and pathway analysis was performed with DAVID.nih and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis respectively and the top five most implicated pathways were found to be clathrin mediated endocytosis, the tri cyclic acid cycle, remodelling of epithelial junctions, rho family GTPase signalling and mitochondrial dysfunction.This brief report summarises the proteomic data obtained from the study described, adds to the current repertoire of data available concerning the effects of atypical antipsychotic drugs on the brain and sheds light on their biological mechanisms.

Project description:There has been an incresing body of epidemiologic and biochemical evidence implying the role of cerebral insulin resistance in Alzheimer-type dementia. For a better understanding of the insulin effect on the central nervous system we performed microarray-based gene expression profiling in the hippocampus, striatum and prefrontal cortex of streptozotocin-induced and spontaneously diabetic Goto-Kakizaki rats as model animals for type 1 and type 2 diabetes, respectively. Following pathway analysis and validation of gene lists by RT-PCR, 30 genes from hippocampus, such as the inhibitory neuropeptide galanin, synuclein gamma and uncoupling protein 2, and 22 genes from the prefrontal cortex, e.g. galanin receptor 2, protein kinase gamma and epsilon, ABCA1, CD47 and the RET protooncogene, were found to exhibit altered expression levels in type 2 diabetic model animals in comparison to non-diabetic control animals. These gene lists proved to be partly overlapping and encompassed genes related to neurotransmission, lipidmetabolism, neuronal development, insulin secretion, oxidative damage and DNA repair. On the other hand, no significant alterations were found in the transcriptomes of the corpus sriatum in the same animals. Changes in the cerebral gene expression profiles seemed to be specific for the type 2 diabetic model, as no such alterations were found in streptozotocin-treated animals. According to our knowledge this is the first characterization of the whole-genome expression changes of specific brain regions in a diabetic model. Our findings shed light on the complex role of insulin signaling in fine-tuning brain functions, and provide further experimental evidence in support of the recently elaborated theory of type 3diabetes. Experiments were performed with 9 animals from each group. Wistar rats (control), streptoztocin-treated Wistar rats (type 1 diabetes) and Goto-Kakizaki rats (type 2 diabetes). The brain was removed and the striatum, hippocampus and prefrontal cortex were dissected. Samples from 3-3 identically treated animals were pooled. That means, 3 biological parallels were prepared from each brain region of type 1 or type 2 diabetic and control animals, amounting to a total of 27 different pooled samples.
