Project description:We used microarrays to assess gene expression differences in the hippocampus between FoxO6 mutant and wild-type siblings before (basal) or after novel object learning. The cohort of basal mice were housed individually for at least 3 days prior to tissue harvesting. The mice used to collect hippocampal samples after the object learning task were handled daily in the procedure room, prior to the object learning task. 24 hours before the object learning task, each mouse was individually habituated to the empty novel object arena for 10 min. On the days of the novel object learning task and the empty arena habituation, the mice were transferred to the procedure room and acclimatized for 60 min. For the novel object learning task, the mice were allowed to explore two identical and novel objects for 10 min in a 70 x 70 x 70 cm black plastic arena with a white PVC vinyl material on the base. After the object exploration, mice were transferred to an empty cage, and were euthanized after 60 min. The brains were dissected and incubated in ice-cold RNAlater (Ambion) for 24 hours at 4M-BM-:C. The brains were then rapidly frozen in O.C.T. Tissue-Tek (Sakura) at -80M-BM-:C. Coronal brain sections (300 M-BM-5m) were made using a microtome (Microm), the hippocampus was finely dissected and collected into M-bM-^@M-^XRNA lysis bufferM-bM-^@M-^Y (Ambion), and homogenized for 30 sec using a rotar-stat homogenizer. Total RNA was extracted using the RNAqueous column (Ambion) following the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys protocol.

Project description:This dataset constitutes the first RNA-seq study of gene expression following contextual fear conditioning in the mouse hippocampus. 15 total samples were analyzed, including animals trained in a contexual conditioning paradigm (FC) and controls. Tissue was collected at 30 minutes (FC), as well as 30 minutes after testing for retrieval of the memory (RT). Testing was performed at 24 hours after training over a 5-minute interval. Animals that were handled but not trained were dissected at the same time of day to control for variations due to circadian rhythms (CC3). The protocol was repeated over the course of 5 days to obtain 9 animals (2 hippocampi) per group, so that 5 independent FC experiments were represented in each time point and all animals for each group were dissected at the exactly the same time of day.

Project description:The mechanisms underlying age-associated memory impairment are not well understood. We have shown that the onset of memory disturbances in the aging brain is associated with altered hippocampal chromatin plasticity. During learning, aged mice display a specific deregulation of histone H4 lysine 12 (H4K12) acetylation. To analyze if deregulated H4K12 acetylation impacts on learning-induced gene-expression required for memory consolidation we performed a high-density oligonucleotide microarray to compare the entire hippocampal gene-expression profile of 3 and 16-month-old mice during memory consolidation. In order to identify genes differentially regulated between 3- and 16-month old mice upon fear conditioning we subjected 3- and 16-month old mice to fear conditioning (4 mice each group, total 8 mice) . Mice of the same age that were handled but not subjected to any of the employed behavior paradigms served as control (4 mice 3-month old and 4 mice 16-month old, total 8 mice). During fear conditioning mice are subjected to a novel context followed by a mild electric foot-shock (context-shock exposure). In order to identify genes that are differentially regulated upon fear conditioning and are specific to associative learning we also tested the hippocampal gene-expression profile of 3-month old mice subjected to the same context-exposure that is not followed by a foot-shock (Context-exposure) (4 mice) or receive an immediate foot shock once they are placed in the context and only afterwards are allowed to explore the context (shock-context exposure) (4 mice). In order to identify genes that are regulated upon fear conditioning and are specific to associative learning we compared the hippocampal gene-expression profile of mice subjected to fear conditioning (context-shock), context or shock-context exposure regarding to their age-matched control mice (3 month old) mentioned above (control). Hippocampi from each mice were tested resulting to 24 samples which were separately hybridized (OneColor Array Design).

Project description:A fundamental question in neuroscience is how memories are stored and retrieved in the brain. Many neurological, psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders are associated with cognitive deficits. Therefore characterizing the biological basis of these processes is critical for understanding normal and abnormal brain function. It is known that long-term memory formation requires transcription and translation as well as epigenetic processes that control gene expression. In this study we examined genome-wide gene expression changes during memory consolidation and after memory retrieval. We observe the largest changes in gene expression 30 minutes after memory acquisition and retrieval, and several novel genes were found to be affected by both. Interestingly, acquisition and retrieval of memory down-regulate different processes. Chromatin assembly is down-regulated after memory acquisition whereas RNA processing is down-regulated so after retrieval. Histone variant H2AB levels are reduced following acquisition, while splicing factor Rbfox1 and NMDA receptor-dependent microRNA miR-219 are down-regulated following retrieval. We also show that miR-219 down-regulation after retrieval is accompanied by up-regulation of its target protein CAMKIIγ. Our study highlights for the first time the differential involvement of epigenetic mechanisms that control gene expression, such as histone variants and post-transcriptional RNA processing, during memory acquisition and retrieval. 72 total samples were analyzed, including animals trained in a contexual conditioning paradigm (FC) and controls. Tissue was collected at 30 minutes (FC30), 4 hours (FC4), 12 hours (FC12) and 24 hours after FC (FC24) as well as 30 minutes after testing for retrieval of the memory (RT30). Testing was performed at 24 hours after training over a 5-minute interval. Animals that were handled but not trained were dissected at the same time of day to control for variations due to circadian rhythms (CC30, CC4 andCC12). The protocol was repeated over the course of 2 weeks to obtain 9 animals (2 hippocampi) per group, so that 9 independent FC experiments were represented in each time point and all animals for each group were dissected at the exactly the same time of day.

Project description:In addition to gaining knowledge on in vivo miRNA responses to formaldehyde, we set out to relate these miRNA responses to transcriptional profiles modified by formaldehyde. Rats were exposed by inhalation to either 0 or 2 ppm formaldehyde (6 hours/day) for 28 days. Genome-wide transcriptional profiles and associated signaling pathways were assessed within the nasal respiratory mucosa and circulating mononuclear white blood cells (WBC). Male Fischer rats received nose-only inhalation exposures of 2 ppm formaldehyde for 7 days or 28 days (6 hours/day). Control (unexposed) rats were placed in nose-only exposure tubes containing room air for the same duration. After the last exposure period, animals were euthanized. RNA were assessed from sampes collected from the nasal epithelium and circulating white blood cells. Genome-wide mRNA expression profiles were evaluated using microarrays.

Project description:A theoretical framework for the function of the medial temporal lobe system in memory defines differential contributions of the hippocampal subregions with regard to pattern recognition retrieval processes and encoding of new information. To investigate molecular programs of relevance, we designed a spatial learning protocol to engage a pattern separation function to encode new information. After background training, two groups of animals experienced the same new training in a novel environment, however only one group was provided spatial information and demonstrated spatial memory in a retention test. Global transcriptional analysis of the microdissected subregions of the hippocampus exposed a CA3 pattern that was sufficient to clearly segregate spatial learning animals from control. Individual gene and functional group analysis anchored these results to previous work in neural plasticity. From a multitude of expression changes, increases in camk2a, rasgrp1 and nlgn1 were confirmed by in situ hybridization. Furthermore, siRNA inhibition of nlgn1 within the CA3 subregion impaired spatial memory performance, pointing to mechanisms of synaptic remodeling as a basis for rapid encoding of new information in long-term memory. Experiment Overall Design: RNA samples from animals subjected to a spatial learning paradigm were compared to controls using Affymetirx RAE230a chips. An N of 7 was used in each of the two experimental conditions.
