Project description:Down syndrome neurophenotypes are characterized by mental retardation and a decreased brain volume. In order to identify whether deficits in proliferation, differentiation or survival could be responsible for this phenotype, neural precursor cells (NPCs) were isolated from the developing E14 neocortex of Down syndrome partial trisomy Ts1Cje mice and euploid (WT) littermates. Proliferation, cell differentiation and cell death assays revealed that Ts1Cje NPCs proliferated at a slower rate, due to a longer cell cycle and that a greater number of cells were positive for glial fibrillary acidic protein. An increase in Ts1Cje NPC cell death was also noted. Gene expression profiling was conducted on RNA extracted from Ts1Cje and WT NPCs. Approximately 54% of triploid gene expression ratios were significantly greater than the expected diploid gene ratio of 1.0. A number of diploid genes associated with differentiation, glial function and proliferation were dysregulated. The evidence points to a delay in cellular cycling that could exert stress on the NPC population, which might result in cellular death and a mobilization of glial cell survival responses. Importantly, these phenotypic changes, which mimic those seen in Down syndrome individuals, do not require over-expression of amyloid precursor protein (App) or soluble superoxide dismutase 1 (Sod1). In conclusion, early developmental proliferation deficits in Down syndrome result in secondary morphological changes that can impact on cognitive development and function.

Project description:We established the transcriptional profile of brain aging and examine the global effects of vitamin E supplementation on age-related alterations in expression in the aged mouse brain. Experiment Overall Design: Gene expression profiles were obtained from the neocortex tissues of 5-month-old controls, 30-month-old controls and 30-month old B6C3F1 mice with middle age-onset supplementation of alpha-tocopherol or a mixture of alpha and gamma-tocopherol (500mg/kg of each tocopherol).

Project description:We used label-free shotgun mass spectrometry to analyze temporal neocortex samples from AD brain, other neurological disorders and non-demented controls, in order to identify additional proteins thatare altered in AD. The mass spectrometry results were then verified by antibody suspension bead arrays.

Project description:Paradoxical sleep function remains unknown although several studies indicate that it might play a role in learning and memory. To investigate what modifications paradoxical sleep may bring at the molecular level in neocortex and in hippocampal formation, we profiled gene expression in these structures in rats with different quantities of PS by cDNA microarrays approach. The first group of rats (n=12) was deprived of PS (PSD) by the multiple platform method during 78h, the second group of rats was allowed to recover from this deprivation (PSR) during 6 hours (n=12), the third group of rats remained in their home cage during all the protocol PSC (n=12). All animals were euthanasied at 16h. An equal mass amount of total RNA from the right neocortex and hippocampal formation was pooled from two sets of 6 rats from each experimental group (PSC, PSD, PSR). For the first set of animals, two independent pools of total RNA from both structures were made for each condition to control for the technical variability of the microarray method.

Project description:Using Affymetrix gene chips of human foetal brain tissue from 8-12.5 post-conceptional weeks (PCW, equivalent to Carnegie stage (CS) 23, to Foetal stage (F) 4), we have identified a number of genes that exhibit gradients along the anterior-posterior axis of the neocortex.

Project description:MIXL1-GFP reporter lines were differentiated as Spin EBs in APEL medium supplemented with Wnt3a alone, BMP4 alone or Wnt3a/BMP4 in combination. EBs induced in the absence of growth factors were used as control. EBs induced with BMP4 or Wnt3a/BMP4 were FACS sorted based on E-CADHERIN and GFP expression. Unsorted EBs and sorted fractions were subjected to Illumina microarray processing.

Project description:We developed an affinity purification approach to isolate tagged nuclei in mice (similar to INTACT; [Deal R.B. and Henikoff S. A simple method for gene expression and chromatin profiling of individual cell types within a tissue. Dev. Cell 18,1030-1040. (2010)]) and used it to characterize genome-wide patterns of transcription, DNA methylation, and chromatin accessibility in 3 major neuron classes of the neocortex (excitatory pyramidal neurons, parvalbumin (PV)-positive GABAergic interneurons, and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-positive GABAergic interneurons). By combining cell purification and integrative analysis, our findings relate the phenotypic and functional complexity of neocortical neurons to their underlying transcriptional and epigenetic diversity.

Project description:The expansion of the neocortex during mammalian brain evolution results primarily from an increase in neural progenitor cell divisions in its two principal germinal zones during development, the ventricular zone (VZ) and the subventricular zone (SVZ). Using mRNA sequencing, we analyzed the transcriptomes of fetal human and embryonic mouse VZ, SVZ and cortical plate (CP). We describe sets of genes that are up- or down-regulated in each germinal zone. These data suggest that cell adhesion and cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions promote the proliferation and self-renewal of neural progenitors in the developing human neocortex. Notably, relevant ECM-associated genes include distinct sets of collagens, laminins, proteoglycans and integrins, along with specific sets of growth factors and morphogens. Our data establish a basis for identifying novel cell-type markers and open up avenues to unravel the molecular basis of neocortex expansion during evolution. Total RNA was isolated from the VZ, inner SVZ (ISVZ), outer SVZ (OSVZ) and CP of six 13-16 weeks post-conception (w.p.c.) human fetuses and from the VZ, SVZ and CP of five E14.5 mouse embryos using laser capture microdissection of Nissl-stained cryosections of dorsolateral telencephalon. Poly A+ RNA was used as template for the preparation of cDNA which were then subjected to single-end 76-bp RNA-Seq.

Project description:The developmental transition to motherhood requires gene expression changes that alter the brain to prepare and drive the female to perform maternal behaviors. Furthermore, it is expected that the many physiological changes accompanying pregnancy and postpartum stages will impact brain gene expression patterns. To understand how extensive these gene expression changes are, we examined the global transcriptional response broadly, by examining four different brain regions: hypothalamus, hippocampus, neocortex, and cerebellum. Further, to understand the time course of these changes we performed RNA-sequencing analyses on mRNA derived from virgin females, two pregnancy time points and three postpartum time points. We find that each brain region and time point shows a unique molecular signature, with only 49 genes differentially expressed in all four regions, across the time points. Additionally, several genes previously implicated in underlying postpartum depression change expression. This study serves as a comprehensive atlas of gene expression changes in the maternal brain in the cerebellum, hippocampus, hypothalamus, and neocortex. At each of the time points analyzed, all four brain regions show extensive changes, suggesting that pregnancy, parturition, and postpartum maternal experience substantially impacts diverse brain regions. Libraries were prepared from three independent biological replicates, mRNA for each biological replicate was derived from a single mouse brain, with each mouse brain being used to collect all four brain regions.
