CBP is required for environmental enrichment-induced neurogenesis and cognitive enhancement.

ABSTRACT: The epigenetic changes of the chromatin represent an attractive molecular substrate for adaptation to the environment. We examined here the role of CBP, a histone acetyltransferase involved in mental retardation, in the genesis and maintenance of long-lasting systemic and behavioral adaptations to environmental enrichment (EE). Morphological and behavioral analyses demonstrated that EE ameliorates deficits associated to CBP-deficiency. However, CBP-deficient mice also showed a strong defect in environment-induced neurogenesis and impaired EE-enhanced spatial navigation and patter separation ability. These defects correlated with an attenuation of the transcriptional program induced in response to EE and with deficits in histone acetylation at the promoters of EE-regulated, neurogenesis-related genes. Additional experiments in CBP restricted and inducible knockout mice indicated that environment-induced adult neurogenesis is extrinsically regulated by CBP function in mature granule cells. Overall, our experiments demonstrate that the environment alters gene expression by impinging on activities involved in modifying the epigenome and identify CBP-dependent transcriptional neuroadaptation as an important mediator of EE-induced benefits, a finding with important implications for mental retardation therapeutics. To identify those genes whose expression was altered in the hippocampus of cbp heterozygous mice both under basal conditions and after 2 weeks of exposure to environmental enrichment, we performed a gene profiling analysis of hippocampal tissue using high-density oligonucleotide microarrays. We obtained quintuplicate (standard housing) and triplicate (environmental enrichment) samples containing total RNA from the hippocampi of four 3-month old females of either genotype (in total 32 cbp+/- mice and 32 wild type littermates were used in the experiment).

Project description:Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis) have been shown to potentiate hippocampal-dependent memory and synaptic plasticity and to ameliorate cognitive deficits and degeneration in animal models for different neuropsychiatric conditions. However, the impact of these drugs on hippocampal histone acetylation and gene expression profiles at the genomic level, and the molecular mechanisms that underlie their specificity and beneficial effects in neural tissue, remains obscure. Here, we mapped four relevant histone marks (H3K4me3, AcH3K9,14, AcH4K12 and pan-AcH2B) in hippocampal chromatin and investigated at the whole-genome level the impact of HDAC inhibition on acetylation profiles and basal and activity-driven gene expression. HDAC inhibition caused a dramatic histone hyperacetylation that was largely restricted to active loci pre-marked with H3K4me3 and AcH3K9,14. In addition, the comparison of Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing and gene expression profiles indicated that Trichostatin A-induced histone hyperacetylation, like histone hypoacetylation induced by histone acetyltransferase deficiency, had a modest impact on hippocampal gene expression and did not affect the transient transcriptional response to novelty exposure. However, HDAC inhibition caused the rapid induction of a homeostatic gene program related to chromatin deacetylation. These results illuminate both the relationship between hippocampal gene expression and histone acetylation and the mechanism of action of these important neuropsychiatric drugs. We performed transcriptional profiling of hippocampal samples from willd-type and cbp+/- mice (C57/DBA F1 hybrid females). Treatments consisted in intraperioneal treatment with HDACi TSA (2.4 mg/kg) o vehicle (DMSO/Saline). Samples were obtained 75 min after TSA administration. Novelty consisted of placing an individual animal in a white plexiglas square box containing plastic tubing and small toys for 1h. For TSA and Novelty condition animals were injected with TSA and 15 min later were allowed to exploration in the Novelty paradigm. We obtained quintuplicate (standar housing) and triplicate (novelty; TSA; and novelty + TSA) samples containing total RNA from the hippocampi of 3-4 three-month old females of either genotype (cbp+/- and wild-type mice) (in total >100 mice were used in the experiment).

Project description:There is an emerging concern that particulate air pollution increases the risk of cranial nerve disease onset. Small nanoparticles, mainly derived from diesel exhaust particles reach the olfactory bulb by their nasal depositions. It has been reported that diesel exhaust inhalation causes inflammation of the olfactory bulb and other brain regions. However, these toxicological studies have not evaluated animal rearing environment. We hypothesized that rearing environment can change mice phenotypes and thus might alter toxicological study results. In this study, we exposed mice to diesel exhaust inhalation at 90 micro g/m3, 8 hours/day, for 28 consecutive days after rearing in a standard cage or environmental enrichment conditions. Microarray analysis found that expression levels of 112 genes were changed by diesel exhaust inhalation. Functional analysis using Gene Ontology revealed that the dysregulated genes were involved in inflammation and immune response. This result was supported by pathway analysis. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis confirmed 10 genes. Interestingly, background gene expression of the olfactory bulb of mice reared in a standard cage environment was changed by diesel exhaust inhalation, whereas there was no significant effect of diesel exhaust exposure on gene expression levels of mice reared with environmental enrichment. The results indicate for the first time that the effect of diesel exhaust exposure on gene expression of the olfactory bulb was influenced by rearing environment. Rearing environment, such as environmental enrichment, may be an important contributive factor to causation in evaluating still undefined toxic environmental substances such as diesel exhaust. RNA sample was taken from olfactory bulb of 56-day-old mouse received diesel exhaust (DE) inhalation at 90 micro g/m3, 8 hours/day, for 28 consecutive days, while control RNA was taken from mouse received clean air, after rearing in a standard cage or environmental enrichment conditions. Comparisons among groups were made by one-color method with normalized data from Cy3 channels for data analysis.
