Comparative RNA-Seq in mouse prelimbic cortex (PL)

ABSTRACT: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a prevalent and life-threatening illness in modern society. The susceptibility to MDD is profoundly influenced by environmental factors, such as stressful lifestyle or traumatic events, which could impose maladaptive transcriptional program through epigenetic regulation. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Here we report that stress-susceptible rodents exhibit lower levels of histone crotonylation in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), concurrent with regional upregulation of chromodomain Y-like (CDYL), a crotonyl-CoA hydratase and histone methyllysine reader. Overexpression of CDYL in the prelimbic cortex (PL), a sub-region of mPFC, increases microdefeat-induced social avoidance behaviors and anhedonia in mice. Conversely, knockdown of CDYL in PL prevents chronic social defeat stress-induced depression-like behaviors. Mechanistically, we show that CDYL inhibits structural synaptic plasticity mainly by transcriptional repression of neuropeptide VGF, and this activity is dependent on its dual effect on regional histone crotonylation and H3K27 tri-methylation on the VGF promoter. Together, our data indicate CDYL plays a critical role in regulating stress-induced depression-like behaviors, providing a potential therapeutic target for MDD.

Circuit-wide Proteomics Profiling Reveals Brain Region-specific Protein Signatures in the WKY Rats with Endogenous Depression

Project description:Major depressive disorder (MDD) is considered as a neural circuit-based polygene syndrome that is mainly triggered by genetic susceptibility and stress factors. The present study employed the Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rat as an animal model with endogenous depression to further investigate the molecular basis of its genetic susceptibility to depression by performing quantitative protemoics analyses of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), nucleus accumbens (NAc), and hippocampus (Hip), respectively.

Intra-subject correlation of brain and blood gene expression in a mouse model of depression

Project description:Gene expression profiling of blood cells in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) has been used to identify potential biomarkers and to address the pathophysiology of MDD. However, whether alteration in gene expression in blood cells are reflected in the brain of the same individual is unclear. Here, we used an animal model of depression to investigate intra-subject correlation of gene expression patterns between the whole blood (WB) and the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). Ovariectomized mice exposed to the chronic ultra-mild stress were used as an animal model of depression. The major findings of the current genome-wide microarray analysis are that 1) the expression levels of 467 genes that were expressed in both tissues correlated positively between the two tissues, 2) alterations in the expression of 4,215 genes in the WB of OVX-operated mice compared to the sham-operated mice were concordant with alterations in the corresponding mPFC, 3) the biological terms over-represented in the 4,215 OVX-affected genes were associated with ribosomal function, and 4) the 6 genes that are potentially relevant to depression-like behavior were observed to be differentially expressed in the WB of the model mice. The current findings suggest that alterations in the expression of a subset of genes are significantly correlated between the WB and the mPFC with in the same individual in an experimental model of depression. Female mice were subjected to chronic ultra-mild stress, a bilateral ovariectomy, or both. Sham-operated mice without stress were used as the control. Medial prefrontal cortex and whole blood were obtained from the same individual (n = 6 in each group), and analyzed using an Agilent SurePrint G3 Mouse GE 8×60K Microarray (Design ID: 028005)

Major depression MDD suicide brain study

Project description:Background: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) represents a major social and economic health issue and constitutes a major risk factor for MDD suicide. The molecular pathology of suicidal depression remains poorly understood, although it has been hypothesized that regulatory genomic processes are involved in the pathology of both MDD and suicidality. Methods: Genome-wide patterns of DNA methylation were assessed in depressed MDD suicide completers (n=20) and compared to non-psychiatric, sudden-death controls (n=20) using tissue from two cortical brain regions (Brodmann Area 11 (BA11) and Brodmann Area 25 (BA25)). Analyses focussed on identifying differentially methylated regions (DMRs) associated with suicidal depression, and epigenetic variation was explored in the context of polygenic risk scores for major depression and MDD suicide. Weighted gene co-methylation network analysis was used to identify modules of co-methylated loci associated with depressed MDD suicide completers and polygenic burden for MDD and MDD suicide attempt. Results: We identified a DMR upstream of the PSORS1C3 gene, subsequently validated using bisulfite-pyrosequencing and replicated in a second set of MDD suicide samples, which is characterized by significant hypomethylation in both cortical brain regions in MDD MDD suicide cases. We also identified discrete modules of co-methylated loci associated with polygenic risk burden for MDD suicide attempt, but not major depression. MDD suicide-associated co-methylation modules were enriched among gene networks implicating biological processes relevant to depression and suicidality, including nervous system development and mitochondria function. Conclusions: Our data suggest there are coordinated changes in DNA methylation associated with MDD suicide that may offer novel insights into the molecular pathology associated with depressed MDD suicide completers.

The Role of CDYL-Regulated Crotonylation of RPA1 in Homologous Recombination-Mediated DNA Repair

Project description:Lysine crotonylation (Kcr) is a recently-identified protein short-chain acylation. We have previously reported that chromodomain Y-like transcription corepressor CDYL acts as a crotonyl-CoA hydratase and negatively regulates histone Kcr. However, the global crotonylome of CDYL-regulated Kcr on non-histone substrates remains unclear. Using proteome-wide quantitative Kcr analysis, we identified 14,311 Kcr sites across 3,734 proteins in HeLa cells, providing by far the largest crotonylome data set from a single study. Upon depletion of CDYL, 1,141 Kcr sites from 759 proteins were increased by more than 1.5 fold, and 933 Kcr sites from 528 proteins were decreased by more than 0.67 fold. Upregulated crotonylome alterations upon CDYL depletion include components from diverse cellular pathways such as RNA splicing, DNA replication, and amino acid metabolism. Specifically, CDYL regulates K88 and K379 of crotonylation on RPA1, which affects its binding to other DNA repair factors including BLM, DNA2L, RAD50 and WRN. We showed evidence that CDYL-mediated RPA1 crotonylation is critical for the homologous recombination (HR) repair of camptothecin (CPT)-induced DNA damage. Together, our results provide a broad lysine crotonylome in response to CDYL and shed new light on the role of RPA1 Kcr in DNA repair, implicating functional importance of Kcr on non-histone substrates in diverse cellular processes.

Aberrant H3.3 dynamics in NAc promote vulnerability to depressive-like behavior

Project description:Human major depressive disorder (MDD), along with related mood disorders, is among the world’s greatest public health concerns, however, its pathophysiology remains poorly understood. Persistent changes in gene expression are known to promote physiological aberrations implicated in MDD. More recently, histone mechanisms affecting cell-type and regional specific chromatin structures have also been shown to contribute to transcriptional programs related to depressive behaviors, as well as responses to antidepressants (ADs). Although much emphasis has been placed in recent years on roles for histone posttranslational modifications (PTMs) and chromatin remodeling events in the etiology of MDD, it has become increasingly clear that replication-independent histone variants (e.g., H3.3), which differ in primary amino acid sequence from their canonical counterparts, similarly play critical roles in the regulation of activity-dependent neuronal transcription, synaptic connectivity and behavioral plasticity. Here, we demonstrate a novel role for increased H3.3 dynamics in nucleus accumbens (NAc)––a key limbic brain reward region––in the regulation of aberrant social stress-mediated gene expression, abnormal dendritic morphology and the precipitation of depressive-like behaviors in mice. We find that molecular blockade of these dynamics promotes resilience to chronic social stress and results in a partial re-normalization of stress-associated transcriptional patterns in NAc. In sum, our findings establish H3.3 dynamics as a critical, and previously undocumented, regulator of mood, and suggest that future therapies aimed at modulating striatal histone dynamics may potentiate beneficial behavioral adaptations to negative emotional stimuli.

Medial prefrontal cortex transcriptome of mice susceptible or resilient to chronic stress

Project description:Stressful circumstances are significant contributors to mental illnesses, such as major depressive disorder. Anhedonia, which is the loss of the ability to enjoy pleasure, including rewarding activities or social contexts, is considered a key symptom of depression. Although stress-induced depression is associated with anhedonia in humans and animals, the underlying molecular mechanisms of anhedonic responses remain poorly understood. In this study, we conducted RNA sequencing to profile the medial prefrontal cortex which was substantially associated with the CUS-induced anhedonic behavioral phenotypes. Employing chronic unpredictable stress (CUS), we determined two subpopulations based on sucrose preference, which was highly correlated with social reward: susceptible (SUS, anhedonic) vs. resilient (RES, non-anhedonic) groups. We identified Syt4 as a hub gene in a gene network unique to anhedonia by conducting a weighted gene co-expression network analysis of the RNA sequencing data from the mPFC of SUS and RES mice. We also confirmed that Syt4 overexpression in the mPFC was pro-susceptible, while the Syt4 knockdown was pro-resilient; the pro-susceptible effects of SYT4 were mediated through the reduction of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)-tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB) signaling in the mPFC. These findings suggested that SYT4-BDNF interactions in the mPFC could be a crucial regulatory mechanism of anhedonic susceptibility to chronic stress.

Chronic fluoxetine treatment of socially isolated rats modulates prefrontal cortex proteome

Project description:Chronic social isolation (CSIS) is a risk factor for human major depressive disorder (MDD). Fluoxetine (Flx) is an antidepressant commonly used for first-line MDD therapy. However, its downstream mechanisms of action, beyond serotonergic signaling, remain elusive. We aimed to analyze the effects of CSIS followed by chronic Flx treatment on proteome changes in the adult male rat prefrontal cortex (PFC) cytosolic and non-synaptic mitochondria (NSM)-enriched fractions. Treatment with Flx ameliorated depression-like behaviors in CSIS-induced rat model of depression as assessed by sucrose preference test and forced swim test. Proteomic data showed that Flx increased the expression of proteins involved in cytoskeleton and regulation of intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis in the cytosol and of enzymes linking the glycolytic pathway to the citric acid cycle (Dlat) and ATPase-coupled ion transmembrane transport in NSM. CSIS resulted in down-regulation of cytosolic proteins involved in proteasome/ubiquitination processes and glutathione antioxidative system and up-regulated expression of key enzymes participating in oxidative phosphorylation. Presence of cytochrome c in the cytosol indicated compromised mitochondrial membrane integrity. Flx treatment in CSIS rats showed predominately an upregulation of vesicle-mediated transport proteins and reduced Uqcrfs1 along with transport in NSM, favoring reduced energy metabolism. Our data suggest that proteins from both cytosol and NSM-enriched fractions are affected by Flx in a key brain region associated with stress response, cognitive process and regulation of emotion.

Proteomic analysis of the four rat models of depression

Project description:Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a highly heterogeneous psychiatric disorder. The pathogenesis of MDD remained unclear, and it may be associated with exposure to different stressors. Most previous studies have focused on molecular changes in a single stress-induced depression model, which limited the identification of the pathogenesis of MDD. The depressive-like behaviors were induced by four well-validated stress models in rats, including chronic unpredictable mild stress, learned helplessness stress, chronic restraint stress and social defeat stress. We applied proteomic to investigate molecular changes in the hippocampus of those four models and revealed 529 proteins.
