Adjunctive dexamethasone affects the expression of genes related to inflammation, neurogenesis and apoptosis in infant rat pneumococcal meningitis.

Blaser Cornelia C Wittwer Matthias M Grandgirard Denis D Leib Stephen L SL

PloS one 20110311 3

Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common pathogen causing non-epidemic bacterial meningitis worldwide. The immune response and inflammatory processes contribute to the pathophysiology. Hence, the anti-inflammatory dexamethasone is advocated as adjuvant treatment although its clinical efficacy remains a question at issue. In experimental models of pneumococcal meningitis, dexamethasone increased neuronal damage in the dentate gyrus. Here, we investigated expressional changes in the hippocampus ...[more]

Transcription profiling of rat hippocampus and cortex in the time series of Pneumococcal Meningitis infection

Project description:The aim of this work is to describe the transcriptomic changes underlying the complex mechanisms of the host response to pneumococcal meningitis in a temporal and spatial context. For this purpose we evaluated the gene expression profile of the two brain structures predominantly affected by brain damage i.e. the cortex and the hippocampus at four different stages of the disease (24-, 72-, 240- and 624 hours post infection) using an infant rat model. <br><br>The first two timepoints represent the acute and late disease phase of bacterial meningitis (BM) and 10 and 26days the recovery phase. At each timepoint 6 infected and 6 sham infected animals were sacrificed. Control and infected animals were age matched to avoid differences in the gene expression patterns due to developmental processes in the infant rat brain.

Vitamin B6 reduces hippocampal apoptosis in experimental pneumococcal meningitis

Project description:Hippocampal apoptosis is a characteristic feature of penumococcal meningitis associated with learning and memory deficitis as a sequel of the disease. We investigated the effect of vitamin B6 using an established infant rat model of experimental pneumococcal meningitis by histomorphology, transcriptomics and measurement of cellular nicotine amide adenine dinucleotide content. The data provides evidence that vitamin B6 is neuroprotecitve in terms of reduced hippocampal apoptosis involving reduction of the inflammatory response, preservation of cellular energy stores and up-regulated brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels.

Cortical, hippocampal and thalamic whole genome transcriptome data from controls and G72 schizophrenia mice of both sexes

Project description:G72 transgenic (TG, transgenic mice carrying the G72/G30 locus) and wildtype (WT) mice with a CD1 background were used for transcriptome data acquisition. Importantly, three different brain regions, i.e., the retrosplenial cortex, the hippocampus and thalamus, of animals from both sexes were investigated. In total, eight WT control animals (four ♂, age: 23.14 ± 0.00 wks; four ♀, age: 23.46 ± 0.11 wks) and eight G72 transgenic mice (four ♂, age: 23.14 ± 0.00 wks; four ♀, age: 23.14 ± 0.00 wks) were used for dissection of the cortex, thalamus and hippocampus for subsequent transcriptome analysis. Our data allow new insight into relevant alterations in gene transcript levels in G72 mice and allow the reader/user to carry out additional complex analyses to characterize potential sex-, age- and brain-region-specific profiles in gene expression and related pathways. These analyses could trigger biomarker identification and drug research and development in schizophrenia research in the future.

Proteomic profiling of brain and testis reveals the diverse changes in ribosome proteins in fmr1 knockout mice

Project description:Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the leading cause of inherited form of mental retardation and autism, is caused by the transcriptional silencing of fmr1 encoding the protein of FMRP. FMRP, acting as an RNA binding protein, FMRP is a wide expressed protein, but primarily in the brain and testis and can regulate approximately 4% of transcripts. Macroorchidism is one of the common symptoms observed both in the FXS people and mice. Thus, we analyzed the protein profiles of cerebral cortex, hippocampus and testis from both the fmr1-KO and WT mouse using a quantitative proteomics. Proteins (FMRP, RS8, RL23A and MPZ) identified by MS/MS were also verified by Western blot. Among the identified proteins, most of the significant changed proteins were downregulated in the FMRP absence. The Gene Ontology and pathway analysis revealed that the changed proteins were clustered in polyribosome and RNA binding proteins in both cerebral cortex and hippocampus, but not the same in testis. Our results provide detailed insights to the ribosome protein profiles of cerebral cortex, hippocampus and testis in the absence of FMRP. Our studies also give a better understanding of protein profile changes and underling dysregulated pathways arising from the fmr1 silencing in the FXS.
