Project description:Local translation is a conserved molecular mechanism. It allows a cell with a complex shape to bypass somatic protein synthesis and transport, and thus to respond quickly to a local stimulus. Local translation also contributes to the establishment of molecular and functional polarity. In the brain, it has been extensively studied in neurons and has also been described more recently in astrocytes - a type of glial cell with specialized extensions that contact vessels and synapses. Here, we studied perisynaptic astrocytic processes (PAPs) in the dorsal hippocampus and showed that they contain RNAs, ribosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment, particles of the Golgi apparatus, and protein synthesis events. We used our recently refined polysome immunoprecipitation technique to characterize the pool of polysomal mRNAs in PAPs (which we refer to as the “PAPome”) from the dorsal hippocampus and compared it with the polysomal mRNAs found in the astrocyte as a whole. The polysomal transcripts that were enriched in the PAPome encoded mostly cytoplasmic proteins and defined an unexpected molecular repertoire with the most enriched transcripts coding for proteins involved in iron homeostasis, translation, cell cycle and cytoskeleton. Interestingly, among them Erz, Fth1, and Rplp1 were enriched in PAPs compared to perivascular astrocytic processes indicating that local translation differ at these two interfaces and may sustain distinct molecular properties. The PAP-enriched transcripts Flt1, Fth1, Ccnd2, Mdm2, Gnb2l1 and Eef1a1 code for proteins involved in memory and learning mechanisms. We therefore studied their local translation in the context of fear conditioning (i.e. behavior involving the dorsal hippocampus). We observed changes in the density and/or distribution of these mRNAs in astrocytes processes as well as a drop of their translation specifically in PAPs. Our results highlight unexpected molecular properties of hippocampal PAPs and suggest for the first time that local translation in this perisynaptic compartment is linked to fear-related memory.

Project description:Genomic aberrations were determined by array-based comparative genomic hybridization in 131 diffuse astrocytic gliomas, including 87 primary glioblastomas (pGBIV), 13 secondary glioblastomas (sGBIV), 19 anaplastic astrocytomas (AAIII), and 12 diffuse astrocytomas (AII). Expression profiling was performed for 74 tumors (42 pGBIV, 11 sGBIV, 13 AAIII, 8 AII). 131 aCGH experiments. 87 EP experiments (x2 dye swap). DNA and RNA extracted from the same patients.

Project description:Diffuse gliomas represent the most prevalent class of primary brain tumor. Despite significant recent advances in the understanding of glioblastoma (WHO IV), its most malignant subtype, lower-grade (WHO II and III) glioma variants remain comparatively understudied, especially in light of their notably variable clinical behavior. To examine the foundations of this heterogeneity, we performed multidimensional molecular profiling, including global transcriptional analysis, on 101 lower-grade diffuse astrocytic gliomas collected at our own institution, and validated our findings using publically available gene expression and copy number data from large independent patient cohorts. We found that IDH mutational status delineated molecularly and clinically distinct glioma subsets, with IDH mutant (IDH mt) tumors exhibiting TP53 mutations, PDGFRA overexpression, and prolonged survival, and IDH wild-type (IDH wt) tumors exhibiting EGFR amplification, PTEN loss, and unfavorable disease outcome. Furthermore, global expression profiling revealed three robust molecular subclasses within lower-grade diffuse astrocytic gliomas, two of which were predominantly IDH mt and one almost entirely IDH wt. IDH mt subclasses were distinguished from each other on the basis of TP53 mutations, DNA copy number abnormalities, and links to distinct stages of neurogenesis in the subventricular zone (SVZ). This latter finding implicates discrete pools of neuroglial progenitors as cells of origin for the different subclasses of IDH mt tumors. In summary, we have elucidated molecularly distinct subclasses of lower-grade diffuse astrocytic glioma that dictate clinical behavior and demonstrate fundamental associations with both IDH mutational status and neuroglial developmental stage. 80 tumor samples, one normal tissue sample (brain)

Project description:This study aims at investigating differential gene expression in human astrocytic tumours of grades I, II, III and IV. A total of 65 tumours were assessed using the Affymetrix U133A GeneChip. The study aims not only at discovering the main expression differences between astrocytic tumours of distinct histological grades but also wishes to correlate these findings with the known histopathological hallmarks of astrocytoma progression. Further, the study aims at correlating gene expression with previously obtained genomic information for several loci known to be involved in astrocytoma tumour progression. Keywords: other

Project description:Our research showed that astrocytic OGT could influence the expression of proteins in the mPFC. Most of these altered proteins participate in metabolic process, transferase activity, and biosynthetic process. GFAP, an astrocyte maker, was increased after OGT deletion. These results provide a framework for further study on the role of astrocytic OGT/O-GlcNAcylation in the mPFC.

Project description:Astrocyte activation is a common feature of neurodegenerative diseases. However, the ways in which dying neurons influence the activity of astrocytes is poorly understood. RIPK3 signaling has recently been described as a key regulator of neuroinflammation, but whether this kinase mediates astrocytic responsiveness to neuronal death has not yet been studied. Here, we used the MPTP model of Parkinson’s disease to show that activation of astrocytic RIPK3 drives dopaminergic cell death and axon damage. Transcriptomic profiling revealed that astrocytic RIPK3 promoted gene expression associated with neuroinflammation and movement disorders, and this coincided with significant engagement of DAMP signaling. Using human cell culture systems, we show that factors released from dying neurons signal through RAGE to induce RIPK3-dependent astrocyte activation. These findings highlight a mechanism of neuron-glia crosstalk in which neuronal death perpetuates further neurodegeneration by engaging inflammatory astrocyte activation via RIPK3.

Project description:Alzheimer's disease (AD) and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the pathological deposition of amyloid-beta (Aβ) in the brain. Although both conditions share common pathogenic pathways, they exhibit distinct cellular manifestations and disease progression. Our study focused on the differential expression and role of astrocytic colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF1) in these diseases. Using transcriptomic analysis of 248 brain tissue samples from the hippocampal-entorhinal system of 50 individuals, we identified a significant increase in CSF1 expression in the CA4 subfield of AD patients compared to a marked decrease in CAA. Functional investigations revealed that astrocytes with elevated CSF1 levels displayed neurotoxicity associated with AD-like pathology, whereas reduced CSF1 expression in astrocytes was linked to vascular damage typical of CAA. These findings suggest that CSF1 plays divergent roles in AD and CAA, contributing to their distinct pathological profiles. Our study highlights the potential of targeting astrocytic CSF1 expression as a differential diagnostic marker and therapeutic approach in managing these overlapping yet distinct neurological conditions.
