Project description:Adolescence is a sensitive window for reward- and stress-associated behavior. Although stress during this period causes long-term changes in behavior in males, how females respond is relatively unknown. Here we show that social isolation stress in adolescence, but not adulthood, induces persistent but opposite effects on anxiety- and cocaine-related behaviors in male vs. female mice, and that these effects are reflected in transcriptional profiles within the adult medial amygdala (meA). By integrating differential gene expression with co-expression network analyses, we identified crystallin mu (Crym), a thyroid hormone binding protein, as a key driver of these transcriptional profiles. Manipulation of Crym specifically within adult meA neurons recapitulates the behavioral and transcriptional effects of social isolation and re-opens a window of plasticity that is otherwise closed. Our results establish that meA is essential for sex-specific responses to stressful and rewarding stimuli through transcriptional programming that occurs during adolescence.

Project description:Chronic social isolation stress during adolescence induces susceptibility for neuropsychiatric disorders. Here we show that 5-week post-weaning isolation stress induces sex-specific behavioral abnormalities and neuronal activity changes in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), basal lateral amygdala (BLA), and ventral tegmental area (VTA). Chemogenetic manipulation, optogenetic recording, and in vivo calcium imaging identify that the PFC to BLA pathway is causally linked to heightened aggression in stressed males, and the PFC to VTA pathway is causally linked to social withdrawal in stressed females. Isolation stress induces genome-wide transcriptional alterations in a region-specific manner. Particularly, the upregulated genes in BLA of stressed males are under the control of activated transcription factor CREB, and CREB inhibition in BLA normalizes gene expression and reverses aggressive behaviors. On the other hand, neuropeptide Hcrt (Hypocretin/Orexin) is among the top-ranking downregulated genes in VTA of stressed females, and Orexin-A treatment rescues social withdrawal. These results have revealed molecular mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets for stress-related mental illness.

Project description:Purpose: This study assessed putative sex differences in miRNA expression in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST)—a sexually dimorphic brain region implicated in anxiety—of adult male and female rats that had been exposed throughout adolescence to social isolation (SI) stress. Methods: Male and female Sprague-Dawley rats underwent SI during adolescence or remained grouped housed (GH) till adulthood. Small RNA sequencing was performed on tissue extracted from the anterodorsal BNST. Results: SI compared to GH induced more anxiogenic-like effects in females compared to males and sex-dependent changes in miRNA expression in the BNST. Conclusions: The current study shows that housing conditions (either SI or GH) during adolescence regulates miRNA expression in a sex-specific manner in the sexually dimorphic area of the adBNST

Project description:Stress is a major influence on mental health status; the ways that individuals respond to or copes with stressors determine whether they are negatively affected in the future. Stress responses are established by an interplay between genetics, environment, and life experiences. Psychosocial stress is particularly impactful during adolescence, a critical period for the development of mood disorders. In this study we compared two established, selectively-bred Sprague Dawley rat lines, the “internalizing” bred Low Responder (bLR) line versus the “externalizing” bred High Responder (bHR) line, to investigate how genetic temperament and adolescent environment impact future responses to social interactions and psychosocial stress, and how these determinants of stress response interact. Animals were exposed to social and environmental enrichment in adolescence prior to experiencing social defeat and were then assessed for social interaction and anxiety-like behavior. Adolescent enrichment caused bLR rats to display less social avoidance, more social interaction, less submission during defeat, and resilience to the prolonged effects of social stress on corticosterone, while enrichment caused bHR animals to show greater aggression during defeat and during a neutral social encounter, and decreased anxiety-like behavior. To gain insight into the development of social resilience in the anxious phenotype bLRs, RNA-seq was conducted on the hippocampus and nucleus accumbens, two brain regions that mediate stress regulation and social behavior. Gene sets previously associated with stress, social behavior, aggression and exploratory activity were enriched with differential expression in both regions, with a particularly large effect on gene sets that regulate social behaviors. These findings provide further evidence that adolescent enrichment can serve as an inoculating experience against future stressors. The ability to induce social resilience in a usually anxious line of animals by manipulating their environment has translational implications, as it underscores the feasibility of intervention strategies targeted at genetically vulnerable adolescent populations.

Project description:Susceptibility to depression-like behavioral abnormalities in mice is studied with a well-established social defeat stress model. Responses to social defeat are associated with widespread transcriptomic changes in several brain regions. Here we present the first study of genome-wide cytosine methylation patterns of mice susceptible to social defeat stress using whole-genome bisulfite sequencing on DNA from the nucleus accumbens, a key brain reward region implicated in depression. We find a greater proportion of CpG hypermethylation than hypomethylation in susceptible mice compared to controls, with an opposite trend in the CHG and CHH contexts. Among the genes with the largest extent of differential methylation we find several which have been identified in earlier studies of gene expression changes related to social defeat, including estrogen receptor alpha (encoded by Esr1) and the deleted in colorectal cancer (Dcc) gene. Genes exhibiting differential methylation are enriched in GO terms of nervous system development, neurogenesis and structure development, which associated with learning memory and stress response. Our data provide a new evidence of the association of DNA methylation profiles and susceptibility to chronic stress.

Project description:In order to better understand the effects of social stress on the prefrontal cortex, we investigated gene expression in mice subjected to acute and repeated social encounters of different duration using microarrays. The observed up-regulation of genes associated with vascular system and brain injury suggests that stressful social encounters may affect brain function through the stress-induced dysfunction of the vascular system. We studied gene expression profiles of prefrontal cortices of male mice subjected to social stress of different durations: Comparisons included: acute stress (24 hours after single social stress episode) vs. acute control (unstressed), stress-8 days vs. control-8 days, stress-13 days vs. control-13 days, stress-13 days+5 days of rest vs. control-13 days+5 days of rest. For each comparison, we analyzed 3 biological replicates per group. Two of out of three biological replicates were further replicated in dye swap (final dye swap failed due to problem during microarray hybridization). Each biological replicate consisted of equal amounts of total RNA from 3 mice subjected to the same experimental condition.

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
