Project description:We performed a microarray analysis of auditory midbrain (inferior colliculus, IC) mRNA from young adult CBA mice (controls) with good hearing, middle aged (MA) with good hearing, and old mild (MP) and severe (SP) presbycusic CBA mice. Fold Change data derived from RMA normalization revealed that the overall GABA receptor alpha 6 expression profiles for MA, MP and SP were down-regulated relative to young adult controls with good hearing. Relative real-time PCR for five GABA receptors confirmed this age-related down regulation quantitatively. Functional hearing data: Auditory Brainstem Responses (ABR) enriched the analysis to select the probe-sets that changed with age and hearing loss by the linear regression best-fit line model technique. GABA receptor genotype-phenotype correlations with auditory functional data indicated that GABA-receptor subtypes are under expressed in SP mice. Hierarchical clustering (HC) analyses yielded statistical significance of normalized GeneChip data Real-time PCR showed that Gabra6, GABA B receptor 1 (Gabbr1), and Gaba transporter protein Slc32a1 may be involved in physiological changes that occur in age-related hearing loss. Presbycusis – age-related hearing loss – is the number one communicative disorder of our aged population. In this study we analyzed gene expression for a set of GABA receptors in the inferior colliculus of aging CBA mice using the Affymetrix GeneChip MOE430A. Functional phenotypic hearing changes from RMA normalized microarray data (39 replicates) in four age-groups, Young Controls and Middle aged mice with good hearing, mild and sever e presbycusis from old mice. Fold change gene expression derived from RMA normalized data were first subjected to one-way ANOVA, and then linear regression was performed. The selected gene expression changes were confirmed by relative real-time relative to young adult controls with good hearing. Statistically significant and real time PCR confirmed GABA receptor genes; Gabra6, GABA B receptor 1 (Gabbr1), and Gaba transporter protein Slc32a1, may be involved in physiological changes that occur in age-related hearing loss. Lastly, gene expression measures of each age group were correlated with pathway/network relationships relevant to the inferior colliculus using Pathway Architect, to identify key pathways consistent with the gene expression changes observed In the study of Expression changes in IC GABA receptors in the Auditory Midbrain of young adult and aging presbycusis mice total of thirty nine chips were used. The normal aging mice were in Four groups Young adults Controls with good hearing (8 mice, 8 MOE430A GeneChips), Middle aged group with good hearing ( 17 mice, 17 MOE430A GeneChips), Mild Presbycusis with limited hearing loss (9 mice, 9 MOE430A GeneChips) and Severe Presbycusis (5 mice, 5 MOE430A GeneChips).

Project description:Substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) is highly sensitive to normal aging and selectively degenerates in Parkinson's disease. Until now, molecular mechanisms behind SNpc aging have not been fully investigated using high throughput techniques. Here, aging-associated early changes in transcriptome of SNpc were investigated comparing late middle-aged (18 months old) to young (2 months old) mice. Three age groups of C57 wild type mice were used in microarray analysis: young (2 months old), middle aged (10 months old), and late-middle aged (18 months old) mice. Four replicates were included in each age group and each replicate was pooled from 4 mice (4 mice/replicate x 4 replicates x 3 age groups). Total RNA was isolated from SNpc for hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:We carried out a global survey of age-related changes in mRNA levels in the C57BL/6NIA mouse hippocampus and found a difference in the hippocampal gene expression profile between 2-month-old young mice and 15-month-old middle-aged mice correlated with an age-related cognitive deficit in hippocampal-based explicit memory formation. Middle-aged mice displayed a mild but specific deficit in spatial memory in the Morris water maze. Experiment Overall Design: No technical replicates; 14 biological replicates for 15-month-old mice, 9 biological replicates for 2-month-old mice. Whole hippocampus.

Project description:Presbycusis – age-related hearing loss – is the number one communicative disorder of our aged population. Here we analyzed gene expression for a set of GABA receptors in the cochlea of aging CBA mice using the Affymetrix GeneChip MOE430A. Functional phenotypic hearing measures distortion-product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) amplitudes (four age groups) were made. The gene expression changes from RMA normalized microarray data (40 replicates) were first subjected to one-way ANOVA, and then linear regression was performed. In addition, the log signal ratio was converted to fold change, and selected gene expression changes were confirmed by relative real-time PCR. Major findings: expression of GABA-A receptor subunit 6was upregulated with age and hearing loss, whereas subunit 1 was repressed. In addition, GABA-A receptor associated protein like-1 and GABA-A receptor associated protein like-2 were strongly downregulated with age and hearing impairment. Lastly, gene expression measures were correlated with pathway/network relationships relevant to the inner ear using Pathway Architect, to identify key pathways consistent with the gene expression changes observed. In the study of expression changes GABA receptors in the in cochlea of young adult and aging presbycusis mice total of forty chips were used. The normal aging mice were in four groups young adults controls with good hearing (8 mice, 8 MOE430A GeneChips), Middle aged group with good hearing ( 17 mice, 17 MOE430A GeneChips), Mild Presbycusis (old) with limited hearing loss (9 mice, 9 MOE430A GeneChips) and Severe Presbycusis (old) (6 mice, 6 MOE430A GeneChips). Each Mice cochlea to each GeneChips, Samples was not pooled. The hearing potential evidence of each mouse is accompanied with each mice DPOAE amplitude.

Project description:In development, timing is of the utmost importance, and the timing of various developmental processes are often changed during evolution. During human evolution sexual maturation has been delayed relative to other primates and this may have played a critical role for both the increase of human brain size and the rise of human-specific cognitive traits . We measured the timing of gene expression changes in the brains of humans, chimpanzees, and rhesus macaques throughout postnatal development. Human, chimpanzee and rhesus macaque post-mortem brain samples from the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex region were collected. The caudate nucleus region was additionally sampled for humans. The age ranges of the individuals in all three species covered the respective species' postnatal maturation period from infancy to young adulthood. RNA extracted from the dissected tissue was hybridized to Affymetrix® U133-plus2.0 GeneChip® arrays.

Project description:Substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) is highly sensitive to normal aging and selectively degenerates in Parkinson's disease. However, ventral tegmental area (VTA), a region adjacent to SNpc, is less affected in PD. Until now, molecular mechanisms behind VTA aging have not been fully investigated using high throughput techniques. Here, aging-associated early changes in transcriptome of VTA were investigated comparing late middle-aged (18 months old) to young (2 months old) mice. Three age groups of C57 wild type mice were used in microarray analysis: young (2 months old), middle aged (10 months old), and late-middle aged (18 months old) mice. Four replicates were included in each age group and each replicate was pooled from 5 mice (5 mice/replicate x 4 replicates x 3 age groups). Total RNA was isolated from VTA for hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:A detailed knowledge of the mechanisms underlying brain aging is fundamental to understand its functional decline and the baseline upon which brain pathologies superimpose. Endogenous protective mechanisms must contribute to the adaptability and plasticity still present in the healthy aged brain. Apolipoprotein D (ApoD) is one of the few genes with a consistent and evolutionarily conserved up-regulation in the aged brain. ApoD protecting roles upon stress or injury are well known, but a study of the effects of ApoD expression in the normal aging process is still missing. Using an ApoD-knockout mouse we analyze the effects of ApoD on factors contributing to the functional maintenance of the aged brain. We focused our cellular and molecular analyses in cortex and hippocampus at an age representing the onset of senescence where mortality risks are below 25%, avoiding bias towards long-lived animals. Lack of ApoD causes a prematurely aged brain without altering lifespan. Age-dependent hyperkinesia and memory deficits are accompanied by differential molecular effects in cortex and hippocampus. Transcriptome analyses reveal distinct effects of ApoD loss on the molecular age-dependent patterns of cortex and hippocampus, with different cell-type contributions to age-regulated gene expression. Markers of glial reactivity, proteostasis, and oxidative and inflammatory damage reveal early signs of aging and enhanced brain deterioration in the ApoD-knockout brain. The lack of ApoD results in an age-enhanced significant reduction in neuronal calcium-dependent functionality markers and signs of early reduction of neuronal numbers in the cortex, thus impinging upon parameters clearly differentiating neurodegenerative conditions from healthy brain aging. Our data support the hypothesis that the physiological increased brain expression of ApoD represents a homeostatic anti-aging mechanism. The brain cortex and hippocampus of young and aged mice of wild-type and ApoD-KO genotypes were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We aim at identifying distinct effects of ApoD loss on the molecular age-dependent patterns of cortex and hippocampus.

Project description:Gene expression changes determine functional differentiation during development and are associated with functional decline during aging. While developmental changes are tightly regulated, regulation of aging changes is not well established. To assess the regulatory basis of age-related changes and investigate the mechanism of regulatory transition between development and aging, we measured mRNA and microRNA expression patterns in brains (superior frontal gyrus) of humans and rhesus macaques over the entire speciesâ lifespan. We find that in both species, developmental and aging changes overlap in the course of lifetime with many changes found at the late age initiating in early childhood. Human post-mortem brain samples from the superior frontal gyrus region of the prefrontal cortex were collected. The age ranges of the indibiual in human covered its whole life span fom newborn to death. RNA extracted from the dissected tissue was hybridized to Affymetrix® Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays. Rhesus macaque post-mortem brain samples from the superior frontal gyrus region of the prefrontal cortex were collected. The age ranges of the indibiual in rhesus macaque covered the whole life span fom newborn to death. RNA extracted from the dissected tissue was hybridized to Affymetrix® Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays.
