Project description:A growing body of research shows that epigenetic mechanisms are critically involved in normal and pathological aging. The Senescence-Accelerated Mouse Prone 8 (SAMP8) can be considered an useful tool to better understand the dynamics of the global epigenetic landscape during the aging process since its phenotype is not fully explained by genetic factors. Here we investigated dysfunctional age-related transcriptional profiles and epigenetic programming enzymes in the hippocampus of 2- and 9-month-old SAMP8 female mice using the Senescent-Accelerated Resistant 1 (SAMR1) mouse strain as control. SAMP8 mice presented 1,062 genes dysregulated at 2 months of age, and 1,033 genes at 9 months, with 92 genes concurrently dysregulated at both ages in reference to age mated SAMR1. SAMP8 mice showed a significant decrease in global DNA methylation (5-mC) at 2 months while hydroxymethylation (5-hmC) levels were increased in SAMP8 mice at 2 and 9 months of age compared to SAMR1. These changes were accompanied by changes in the expression of several enzymes that regulate 5-mC and methylcytosine oxidation. Acetylated H3 and H4 histone levels were significantly diminished in SAMP8 mice at 2-month-old compared to SAMR1 and altered Histone DeACetylase (HDACs) profiles were detected in both young and old SAMP8 mice. We analyzed 84 different mouse miRNAs known to be altered in neurological diseases or involved in neuronal development. Compared with SAMR1, SAMP8 mice showed 28 and 17 miRNAs differentially expressed at 2 and 9 months of age, respectively, 6 of these miRNAs overlapped at both ages. We used several bioinformatic approaches to integrate our data in mRNA:miRNA regulatory networks and functional predictions for young and aged animals. In sum, our study reveals interplay between epigenetic mechanisms and gene networks that seems to be relevant for the progression towards a pathological aging and provides several potential markers and therapeutic candidates for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and age-related cognitive impairment.
Project description:Purpose: The aim of this study is to compare brain transcriptome profile (RNA-seq) after G9a inhibition. Methods: Hippocampus profiles of 7-month-old SAMP8 Control and SAMP8 Treated mice groups were generated by deep sequencing, pooled using Ilumnia Hiseq. Results: G9a inhibition with UNC0642 induces a transcriptional profile that allows beneficial effects on cognitive performance. Differential expression analysis identified 697 differentially expressed genes (DEG) (fold change cutoff of ≥1.3, p-value<0.05). Of which 217 are reduced, and 480 are increased in SAMP8 UNC0642. Conclusions: Our study showed the first transcriptome analysis of whole brain after G9a inhibition, generated by RNA-seq technology, demonstrating transcriptomic changes.

Project description:We identified Searpina3n from SAMP8 strain plays a role as pathogenic chaperon by prolonging the oligomeric state of Amyloid beta 42 peptide. SAMP8 Serpina3n has 2 unique SNPs compared JF1 and SAMR1 strains of mice. Furthermore, the expression level of Searpina3n in SAMP8 is higher than other strains.
