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.

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.

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.

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:Audiogenic epilepsy (AE), inherent to several rodent strains is widely studied as a model of generalized convulsive epilepsy. The molecular mechanisms that determine the manifestation of AE are not well understood. In the present work, we compared transcriptomes from the corpora quadrigemina in the midbrain zone, which are crucial for AE development, to identify genes associated with the AE phenotype. Three rat strains without sound exposure were compared: Krushinsky-Molodkina (KM) strain (100% AE-prone); Wistar outbred rat strain (non-AE prone) and "0" strain (partially AE-prone), selected from F2 KM × Wistar hybrids for their lack of AE. The findings showed that the KM strain gene expression profile exhibited a number of characteristics that differed from those of the Wistar and "0" strain profiles. In particular, the KM rats showed increased expression of a number of genes involved in the positive regulation of the MAPK signaling cascade and genes involved in the positive regulation of apoptotic processes. Another characteristic of the KM strain which differed from that of the Wistar and "0" rats was a multi-fold increase in the expression level of the Ttr gene and a significant decrease in the expression of the Msh3 gene. Decreased expression of a number of oxidative phosphorylation-related genes and a few other genes was also identified in the KM strain. Our data confirm the complex multigenic nature of AE inheritance in rodents. A comparison with data obtained from other independently selected AE-prone rodent strains suggests some common causes for the formation of the audiogenic phenotype.

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:Global expression profiling of epileptogenesis has been confounded by variability across laboratories, epilepsy models, tissue sampled and experimental platforms, with the result that very few genes demonstrate consistent expression changes. The present study minimizes these confounds by combining Affymetrix microarray datasets from seven laboratories, using three status epilepticus (SE) models of epilepsy in rats (pilocarpine, kainate, self-sustained SE or SSSE) and the rat kindling model. Total RNA was harvested from laser-captured dentate granule cells from 6 rats at three times during the early-to-mid latent phase that precedes epilepsy symptoms in the SE models (1, 3 and 10 days after SE), or 24 hr after the first stage 2, stage 4 and stage 5 seizure in the kindling model. Each epilepsy model was studied in two independent laboratories except SSSE. The initial goals of this study were to a) identify model-independent transcriptional changes in dentate granule cells that could point to novel intervention targets for epileptogenesis, b) characterize the basal transcriptional profile of dentate granule cells, and c) identify genes that have highly variable expression.

Each experimental group consists of 6 rats (biological replicates) from one laboratory at a single time point, except for the SSSE group (6 at day 1 after SSSE, 5 controls and at day 3 after SSSE, 4 at day 10). Thus granule cells were harvested from 164 rats.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short noncoding RNAs that shape the gene expression landscape, including during the pathogenesis of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). In order to provide a full catalog of the miRNA changes that happen during experimental TLE, we sequenced Argonaute 2-loaded miRNAs in CA1, CA3 and Dentate Gyrus hippocampal subfields from the rat perforant pathway stimulation (PPS) model at regular intervals between the time of the initial precipitating insult to the establishment of spontaneous recurrent seizures.
