Project description:Deaths related to opioid use have skyrocketed in the United States, leading to a public health epidemic. Research has shown that both biological (genes) and environmental (stress) precursors are linked to opioid use. In particular, stress during adolescence – a critical period of frontal lobe development – influences the likelihood of abusing drugs. However, little is known about the biological mechanisms through which adolescent stress leads to long-term risk of opioid use, or whether genetic background moderates this response. Male and female C57BL/6J were exposed to chronic variable social stress (CVSS) or control conditions throughout adolescence and then tested for prefrontal cortex miRNA gene expression. C57BL/6J mice exposed to CVSS had a downregulation of twelve miRNA in the prefrontal cortex compared to control mice.

Project description:MicroRNA (miRNA) dysregulation is well-documented in psychiatric disease, but miRNA dynamics during adolescent and early adult brain maturation, when symptoms first appear for many of these diseases, remain poorly understood. Here, we use RNA sequencing to examine miRNAs and their mRNA targets in cortex and hippocampus from early, mid-, and late adolescent and adult mice. We also use Quantitative Proteomics by tandem mass tag mass spectrometry (TMT-MS) to examine protein dynamics in cortex from the same subjects.

Project description:Chronic alcohol abuse has been linked to the disruption of executive function and allostatic conditioning of reward response dysregulation in the mesocorticolimbic pathway (MCL). Here, we analyzed genome-wide mRNA and miRNA expression from matched cases with alcohol dependence (AD) and controls (n=35) via gene network analysis to identify unique and shared biological processes dysregulated in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and nucleus accumbens (NAc). We further investigated potential mRNA/miRNA interactions at the network and individual gene expression levels to identify the neurobiological mechanisms underlying AD in the brain. By using genotyped and imputed SNP data, we identified expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) uncovering potential genetic regulatory elements for gene networks associated with AD. At a Bonferroni corrected p≤0.05, we identified significant mRNA (NAc=6; PFC=3) and miRNA (NAc=3; PFC=2) AD modules. The gene-set enrichment analyses revealed modules preserved between PFC and NAc to be enriched for immune response processes, whereas genes involved in cellular morphogenesis/localization and cilia-based cell projection were enriched in NAc modules only. At a Bonferroni corrected p≤0.05, we identified significant mRNA/miRNA network module correlations (NAc=6; PFC=4), which at an individual transcript level implicated miR-449a/b as potential regulators for cellular morphogenesis/localization in NAc. Finally, we identified eQTLs (NAc: mRNA=37, miRNA=9; PFC: mRNA=17, miRNA=16) which potentially mediate alcohol’s effect in a brain region-specific manner. Our study highlights the neurotoxic effects of chronic alcohol abuse as well as brain region specific molecular changes that may impact the development of alcohol addiction.

Project description:Adolescence is marked in part by the ongoing development of the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Binge ethanol use during this critical stage in neurodevelopment induces significant structural changes to the PFC, as well as cognitive and behavioral deficits that can last into adulthood. Previous studies showed that adolescent binge ethanol causes lasting deficits in working memory, decreases in the expression of chromatin remodeling genes responsible for the methylation of histone 3 lysine 36 (H3K36), and global decreases in H3K36 in the PFC. H3K36me3 is present within the coding region of actively-transcribed genes, and safeguards against aberrant, cryptic transcription by RNA Polymerase II. We hypothesize that altered methylation of H3K36 could play a role in adolescent binge ethanol-induced memory deficits. To investigate this at the molecular level, ethanol (4g/kg, i.g.) or water was administered intermittently to adolescent mice. RNA- and ChIP-sequencing were then performed within the same tissue to determine gene expression changes and identify genes and loci where H3K36me3 was disrupted by ethanol. We further assessed ethanol-induced changes at the transcription level with differential exon-use and cryptic transcription analysis – a hallmark of decreased H3K36me3. Here, we found ethanol-induced changes to the gene expression and H3K36me3-regulation of synaptic-related genes in all our analyses. Notably, H3K36me3 was differentially trimethylated between ethanol and control conditions at synaptic-related genes, and Snap25 and Cplx1 showed evidence of cryptic transcription in males and females treated with ethanol during adolescence. Our results provide preliminary evidence that ethanol-induced changes to H3K36me3 during adolescent neurodevelopment may be linked to synaptic dysregulation at the transcriptional level, which may explain the reported ethanol-induced changes to PFC synaptic function.

Project description:Stress and glucocorticoid exposure during pregnancy alters neurodevelopment and behavior in offspring, and these effects extend multiple generations through a paternal lineage. The epigenetic mechanisms that govern this transgenerational transmission are unclear. We hypothesized that maternal exposure to multiple courses of sGC in late pregnancy would result in altered miRNA levels in germs cells of male guinea pigs across three generations. Further, our behavioral data indicate that F2 females exhibit altered behaviors following sGC exposure. Thus, we evaluated the miRNA profile of F2 female prefrontal cortex to determine the mechanisms responsible for these behavioral changes and to compare these data to our germ cell miRNA analysis. We used miRNA microarray to evaluate the miRNA levels in F1-F3 germ cells and F2 female PFC in guinea pigs that were exposed to control and F0 prenatal sGC exposure. We identified no significant changes to miRNA levels in both F1-F3 germ cells and F2 PFC from guinea pigs in the sGC group.

Project description:Adolescence is a critical period in cognitive and emotional development, characterized by high levels of social interaction and increases in risk-taking behavior including binge drinking. Adolescent exposure to social stress and binge ethanol have individually been associated with the development of social, emotional, and cognitive deficits, as well as increased risk for alcohol use disorder. Disruption of cortical development by early life social stress and/or binge drinking may partly underlie these enduring emotional, cognitive, and behavioral effects. The study goal is to implement a novel neighbor housing environment to identify the effects of adolescent neighbor housing and/or binge ethanol drinking on (1) a battery of emotional and cognitive tasks (2) adult ethanol drinking behavior, and (3) the nucleus accumbens and prefrontal cortex transcriptome. Adolescent male and female C57BL/6J mice were single or neighbor housed with or without access to intermittent ethanol. One cohort underwent behavioral testing during adulthood to determine social preference, expression of anxiety-like behavior, cognitive performance, and patterns of ethanol intake. The second cohort was sacrificed in late adolescence and brain tissue was used for transcriptomics analysis. As adults, single housed mice displayed decreased social interaction, deficits in the novel object recognition task, and increased anxiety-like behavior, relative to neighbor-housed mice. There was no effect of housing condition on adolescent or adult ethanol consumption. Adolescent ethanol exposure did not alter adult ethanol intake. Transcriptomics analysis revealed that adolescent housing condition and ethanol exposure resulted in differential expression of genes related to synaptic plasticity in the nucleus accumbens and genes related to methylation, the extracellular matrix and inflammation in the prefrontal cortex. The behavioral results indicate that social interaction during adolescence via the neighbor housing model may protect against emotional, social, and cognitive deficits. In addition, the transcriptomics results suggest that these behavioral alterations may be mediated in part by dysregulation of transcription in the frontal cortex or the nucleus accumbens

Project description:Early life stress (ELS), such as neglect and maltreatment, exhibits a strong impact on the mental and brain development of children. However, it is not fully understood how ELS affects the function in developing prefrontal cortex (PFC). In this study, we performed social isolation on weaned pre-adolescent mice and investigated how ELS could affect the function in behavior and transcriptome in PFC. We found that reductions of social interaction, social preference, and social novelty in ELS mice. Moreover, an increase of anxiety-like behavior was observed in ELS mice, but there were no changes in weight and repetitive behavior. To identify the gene involved in social behavior, we conducted transcriptome analysis and identified 15 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the PFC of ELS mice. These genes were involved in transcriptional regulation, stress, and synaptic signaling. We also found that a decreased number of neurons and an increased number of microglia in the PFC of ELS mice. These results suggest that ELS affects PFC cytoarchitecture by stress signal transduction and eventually alters mouse behavior. Our study demonstrates that ELS influences behavior, transcriptome and cytoarchitecture in the brain of adolescent mice.
