Project description:We describe a novel method for obtaining discrete regions from the fronto-limbic circuits of a 4 year old and a 5 year old, male, intact, frozen non-human primate (NHP) brain, from which we use transcriptional profiling and a new algorithm to identify region-exclusive RNA signatures for Area 25 (NFκB and dopamine receptor signaling), the anterior cingulate cortex (LXR/RXR signaling), the amygdala (semaphorin signaling), and the hippocampus (Caþþ and retinoic acid signaling).

Project description:With improved whole-cell isolation protocols, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and profiled the transcriptomes from adult non-human primate brain. We identified discriminative cell populations with canonical and novel markers. Cross-species projection demonstrated the evolutionary conservation among mouse, monkey, and human. This dataset serves as a detailed transcriptomic atlas for understanding the adult primate central nervous system.

Project description:Background: Schizophrenia is a severe neuropsychiatric disorder that is hypothesized to result from disturbances in early brain development, and there is mounting evidence to support a role for developmentally-regulated epigenetic variation in the molecular etiology of the disorder. Here, we describe a systematic study of schizophrenia-associated methylomic variation in the adult brain and its relationship to changes in DNA methylation across human fetal brain development. Results: We profile methylomic variation in matched prefrontal cortex and cerebellum brain tissue from schizophrenia patients and controls, identifying disease-associated differential DNA methylation at multiple loci, particularly in the prefrontal cortex, and confirming these differences in an independent set of adult brain samples. Our data reveal discrete modules of co-methylated loci associated with schizophrenia that are enriched for genes involved in neurodevelopmental processes and include loci implicated by genetic studies of the disorder. Methylomic data from human fetal cortex samples, spanning 23 to 184 days post-conception, indicates that disease-associated differentially methylated positions are significantly enriched for loci at which DNA methylation is dynamically altered during human fetal brain development. Conclusions: Our data support the hypothesis that schizophrenia has an important early neurodevelopmental component, and suggest that epigenetic mechanisms may mediate these effects. 33 post-mortem brain (prefrontal cortex) samples (18 schizophrenia cases and 15 controls) were obtained from Douglas Bell-Canada Brain Bank (DBCBB), Montreal, Canada. Bisulfite converted DNA from these samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip v1.0.

Project description:The majority of transplanted organs are recovered from deceased donors after brain death (BD). BD has been hypothesized to compromise organ quality in part from the activation of systemic inflammation. The objective of this study was to characterize the immune response induced by BD in a well controlled non-human primate (NHP) model. Assessment of physiologic parameters (blood pressure, heart rate, urinary output, catecholamines, and cerebral angiograms) was used to confirm BD. After 6h of BD, we monitored changes in the peripheral blood by flow cytometry, liver gene expression by microarray and liver protein expression by Western blotting and immunohistochemistry (IHC). BD was indicated by a rapid increase in blood pressure followed by hemodynamic instability, hypotension, diabetes insipidus and the absence of cerebral blood flow and brain stem reflexes. Within the peripheral blood IL-6 levels and neutrophils increased and myeloid dendritic cells decreased in BD NHP when compared to living donor controls. Genes related to innate inflammatory response and apoptosis were significantly upregulated in BD NHP. BD livers showed increased expression of suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) protein and the danger associated molecular pattern protein S100A9. Increased expression of intracellular cellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) II, neutrophil accumulation, and products of oxidative stress (carboxy methyl lysine (CML) and hydroxynonenal (HNE)) were detected by IHC in livers. Conclusion: These data indicate that BD leads to the rapid activation of an inflammatory response within the liver involving components of the innate immune response at the gene and protein levels. The activation of these inflammatory pathways may provide one explanation for the reduced post-transplant function of organs from brain dead donors. Microarray analysis was performed to compare gene expression patterns from livers recovered after 5 hours of brain death (n=5) and from "living donor" non-brain dead controls (n=5).

Prefrontal cortex (PFC) and cerebellum samples were obtained from 46 brains archived in the London Brain Bank for Neurodegenerative Disorders (LBBND). Of these 22 were schizophrenia cases, ands of the cases 12 were male.

Project description:We investigated ecotoxicological effects and toxicogenomic responses in fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) exposed to an environmentally-relevant concentration (0.83 mg/L) of the munitions compound cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX) in one year and multi-generational assays. In the one year assay, RDX effects were discerned by comparing breeding groups reared in control or RDX-exposure conditions for one year. RDX had no detectable effect on gonad-somatic index, or condition factor in females assayed at 1 day and at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months, however the liver-somatic index was significantly increased versus controls only at the 12 month time point. RDX had no effect on live-prey capture rates at all time points assayed and no significant impacts on egg production, fertilization or hatch success in the 1-year exposure trial. Genomic analyses indicated that RDX exposure caused limited differential expression of transcripts within time points and no functional conservation of effects indicative of RDX exposure among time points for either brain or liver tissues in the one year exposure. In the multi-generational assay, the effects of acute (96h) exposure to RDX were compared in fish reared to the F2 generation in either control or RDX-exposure conditions. The RDX-reared fish were not observed to have appreciably enhanced RDX tolerance versus the control-reared fish. However, significant differences in gene expression were observed among the control and RDX-reared fish related to neuro-excitatory glutamate metabolism, sensory signaling and processes in neurological development. In total, our results indicate that exposure to an RDX concentration approximating maximum levels observed in the field (0.83 mg/L) caused limited impacts in fathead minnows in a one year exposure, however caused altered expression in genes involved in neural function in a multi-generational exposure. Adult fathead minnows were exposed to 0.83 mg/L (0.15 mg/L standard deviation) in experimental units including 2 male and 4 fish. Five replicate males were randomly sampled with replacement from each of 8 control and 8 RDX-exposed experimental units at 1d, 1mo, 3mo, 6mo, 9mo and 12mo sampling periods. Brain tissue was investigated for differential expression in response to RDX exposure. Data were analyzed in 3 separate investigations. First, the Reference vs Reference data were analysed to determine an empirical false positive detection rate. Next, in order to meet milestones set up by our upper management, we were forced to generate results prior to the end of the bioassay. Therefore, we investigated gene expression among Control and RDX-exposed fish in the 1 day - 6 month sampling periods. Investigation of gene expression among the control and RDX-exposed fish for the 9 month and 12 month time periods were investigated separately.
