Postnatal glucocorticoids suppress myelination in a dose-dependent manner by genomic mechanism

ABSTRACT: Objective: Postnatal glucocorticoids (GCs) are widely used in the prevention of chronic lung disease in premature infants. However, their use is associated with neurodevelopmental delay and cerebral palsy. We hypothesized that postnatal dexamethasone or betamethasone in high-dose, but not low-dose, would induce hypomyelination, astrogliosis, and motor impairment in premature rabbit pups. Additionally, these effects would be mediated by glucocorticoid receptors (GRs). Methods: Preterm rabbit pups, delivered by C-section at E29 (term=32d), were treated with a high dose of dexamethasone or vehicle. Myelin basic protein (MBP), glial fibrillary basic protein (GFAP), oligodendrocyte proliferation and maturation, and alteration of transcriptomic profile were evaluated in these pups. Neurobehavioral assessments were performed at 14d. Results: High-dose dexamethasone treatment reduced MBP expression and induced motor-impairment compared with controls. High-dose dexamethasone induced astrogliosis and altered genes associated with myelination, cell-cycle, GR, and MAP-Kinase signaling. Interpretation: High-dose postnatal dexamethasone arrested maturation of oligodendrocytes, and induced hypomyelination, gliosis and motor deficits. GC treatment reduced myelination by genomic GR-dependent mechanisms, and caused astrogliosis by non-genomic mechanisms. Two-condition experiment: forebrains of HDD (high dose dexamethasone) vs. CTR (PBS) post-natally expossed rabbit pups. Biological replicates: 4 CTR replicates, 4 HDD replicates.

Transitions in infant learning are modulated by dopamine within the amygdala

Project description:Behavioral transitions Young infant rats paradoxically prefer odors paired with shock but older pups learn aversions. This transition is amygdala- and corticosterone-dependent. Microarray results showed downregulated dopaminergic presynaptic function in the amygdala with preference learning. Corticosterone injected 8-day-old pups and untreated 12-day-old pups learn aversions and had dopaminergic upregulation in the amygdala. 8 day saline or corticosterone treated- or 12 day old untreated rat pups were trained with odor-shock pairings. Immediately after training pups were sacrificed and the amygdala dissected out. Controls were unpaired shock-odor groups.Paired and unpaired groups were processed together for each experimental condition. Paired and unpaired data were compared by ranked products.

Expression data from PBDE treated rats at PND22 and Week 13

Project description:Liver gene transcripts patterns were used to characterize toxicity from exposure to polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), flame retardant components. In this study, Wistar Han dams were exposed by gavage to the PBDE mixture (DE71) starting at gestation day 6 (GD 6) and continuing to weaning on postnatal day 21 (PND 21). Offspring from the dams began PBDE direct dosing on PND 12 and were dosed daily through PND 21. After weaning, they were dosed 5 days per week for another 13 weeks. Liver samples were collected at PND 22 and week 13 for liver gene expression analysis and interrogated with the Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 Array. PBDE treatment induced 1,066 liver gene transcript changes in females and 1,200 transcriptional changes in males at PND 22 (false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.01), but only 263 liver transcriptional changes at 13 weeks in male rats (FDR <0.05). No significant differences in dose response were found between male and female pups. There were a total of 6 groups and 5x replication for each group, for 30 total samples that were analyzed. The groups were (1) pup-male-CTL, (2) pup-female-CTL, (3) pup-male-PBDE, (4) pup-female-PBDE, (5) rat-male-CTL, (6) rat-male-PBDE. We generated the following pairwise comparisons using R/maanova: malePups(PBDE vs CTL), femalePups(PBDE vs CTL), maleRats(PBDE vs CTL), CTLpups(male vs female), PBDEpups(male vs female). We also performed ANOVA test for SEX-by-DOSE (pups) and AGE-by-DOSE (males). For pups, genes with an FDR≤1% were selected; for rats, genes with FDR < 5% were selected.

Maternal folic acid supplementation alters gene expression in the offspring brain

Project description:Studies have indicated that altered maternal micronutrients and vitamins influence the development and susceptibility of newborns to chronic diseases. Among these, folic acid (FA) plays a key role in the synthesis and repair of DNA, along with maintenance of epigenetic DNA methylation. Deficiency of FA has been associated with the pathogenesis of neural tube defects. Since FA can modulate DNA methylation and affect gene expression, we investigated the effect of gestational FA supplementation on the expression of genes in the offspring brain. Our results suggest that a maternal ten-fold increase in FA supplementation alters the expression and dysregulates a number of genes in the offspring brain, including many involved in development. While a number of genes that were dysregulated were common to both male and female pups, there were sex differences in gene expression changes. C57BL/6J female mice were separated into two groups of ten mice and supplemented with a custom diet. One week prior to mating the low-dose group of female mice were fed a custom AIN-93G amino acidM-bM-^@M-^Sbased diet (Research Diet, Inc. New-Brunswick, NJ), with FA at 0.4 mg/kg, while the high-dose group received FA at 4 mg/kg diet. Tissues from the cerebral hemisphere of three independent pups of same gender were pooled together. A total of three microarray gene expression studies have been performed (0.4mg/kg or 4mg/kg both male and female) and the mean was used for comparison.

Identification of candidate genes involved in SOD1G93A glial toxicity

Project description:To better understand how the expression of a mutant gene that causes ALS can perturb the normal phenotype of astrocytes, and to identify genes that may have a role in their toxic effect on motor neurons, we used oligonucleotide arrays to compare the global gene expression profiles of glia overexpressing the mutant SOD1G93A protein with two different sets of controls: non-transgenic glia and glia overexpressing the wild type form of the human SOD1 protein (P<0.001) . Glia were derived from P1-P3 mouse pups transgenic for SOD1G93A (G93A), SOD1WT (WT) or non-transgenic pups (NT). Once the cells reached confluence, total RNA was isolated using Trizol (Invitrogen) from three different biological replicates for each type of glia. RNA was amplified by one round of T7 transcription using the Illumina TotalPrep RNA Amplification Kit. Illumina Bead Array Reader. Analysis was done using the Illumina Bead Studio Program.

Global transcriptomic profiling of hypoxic ischemia in an in vivo neonatal mouse model: cortex

Project description:Hypoxia-ischemia (HI) brain damage is one of the most common causes of neonatal brain injuries, amidst other conditions such as intrauterine infection and perinatal cerebral hemorrhage (Bracci et al., 2006). HI, occurring during the perinatal period, severely affects brain integrity resulting in detrimental long-term neurological morbidity in terms of motor, intellectual, educational and neuropsychological performance deficits (e.g. cerebral palsy, mental retardation, learning disability and epilepsy), and even neonatal mortality (Cowan et al., 2003; Ferriero, 2004; van Handel et al., 2007; Shalak and Perlman, 2004). Current therapeutic interventions fail to provide substantial reversal of HI brain injuries and improvement in overall cognitive function. Recent clinical studies demonstrated that post-HI hypothermia provide moderate neuroprotection but fail to show any significant reduction in neonatal morbidity and mortality (Shankaran et al., 2005). We would like to investigate the transcriptional effects of HI on neonatal brain, and if hypoxic pre-conditioning is beneficial to the reduction of brain damage. Microarray analysis was performed on the cortex of neonatal brains using Illumina mouse Ref8 V2 genechips. The right common carotid artery was exposed through a ventral midline neck incision and permanently occluded by electrocoagulation, The wound was sutured and mouse pups were returned to their mother for 1.5M-bM-^@M-^S2 h. Sham control and pre-conditioned mice (n = 4) underwent the identical procedure, without carotid artery occlusion. Pups were then placed in an 8% O2/92% N2 humidified chamber at 37M-BM-0C for 1 h with tissue extraction taking place 3h, 8h and 24h thereafter (n=4 respectively). Sham controls were included in this study too (n=4 respectively).

Higher maternal folic acid during gestation dysregulates expression of several genes in mice offspring cerebellum

Project description:Maternal vitamins and micronutrients during gestational periods have profound impact on the developmemt of newborns as well as influence susceptibility to chronic conditions. Folic acid is indicated to women during pregnancies to prevent occurrence of neural tube defects in infants. Recently, evidence is emerging of the epigenetic effects of folic acid. Since epigenetic changes are crucial in developing fetus, we investigated the effect of maternal higher folic acid supplementation on the gene expression in offspring brains to identify if brain development may be affected. Our results revealed that maternal exposure of higher dose FA diet during gestation dysregulates expression of several genes in the cerebellum of both male and female pups. Dysregulated genes included several transcriptional factors, imprinted genes, neurodevelopmental genes and genes associated with autism spectrum disorder. Adult, 8- to 10-week-old C57BL/6J mice were used in all the experiments and handled according to the protocol reviewed and approved by the Institute for Basic Research Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. One week prior to mating and throughout the pregnancy two groups of female mice were fed with custom AIN-93G amino acidM-bM-^@M-^Sbased diet (Research Diet, Inc. New-Brunswick, NJ), which contained folic acid (FA) at 2mg/kg and 20 mg/kg diet. At postnatal day one (P1), from FA at 2 mg/kg group: male pupsM-bM-^@M-^Y n=3 and female pupsM-bM-^@M-^Y n=3 were sacrificed by cervical dislocation and cerebellum tissues were collected. From FA at 20 mg/kg group: male pupsM-bM-^@M-^Y n=6 and female pups n=6 were similarly processed. All tissues were snapped frozen and stored at -80M-BM-0C until downstream analysis was performed.

Paradoxical neurobehavioral rescue by cues associated with infant trauma: Amygdala 5-HT and CORT

Project description:We show that infant trauma, as modeled by infant paired odor-shock conditioning, results in later life depressive-like behavior that can be modulated by learned infant cues (i.e., odor previously paired with shock). We have previously shown that this infant attachment odor learning paradigm results in the creation of a new artificial maternal odor that is able to control pup behavior and retain its value throughout development. Here, we assess the mechanism by which this artificial maternal odor is able to rescue depressive-like behavior and show that this anti-depressant like effect results in glucocorticoid and serotonin (5-HT) related changes in amygdala gene expression and is dependent on amygdala 5-HT. Furthermore, increasing amygdala 5-HT and blocking corticosterone (CORT) in the absence of odor mimics the adult rescue effects elicited by the artificial maternal odor, suggesting a mechanism by which odor presentation exerts its repair effects. There are three experimental groups: 1: pups with no infant shock and the adult forced swim test (FST)with no odor; 2. pups with infant odor-shock pairing and the adult forced swim test (FST) with no odor; 3. pups with infant odor-shock pairing and adult forced swim test with infant odor.
