α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor signaling modulates fetal sheep brain astrocytes transcriptome in response to endotoxin stress: comparison to microglial transcriptome and implications for autism spectrum disorder

ABSTRACT: Neuroinflammation in utero may result in lifelong neurological disabilities. Astrocytes play a pivotal role, but the mechanisms are poorly understood. No early postnatal treatment strategies exist to enhance neuroprotective potential of astrocytes. We hypothesized that agonism on α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) in fetal astrocytes will augment their neuroprotective transcriptome profile, while the antagonistic stimulation of α7nAChR will achieve the opposite. Using an in vivo - in vitro model of developmental programming of neuroinflammation induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), we validated this hypothesis in primary fetal sheep astrocytes cultures re-exposed to LPS in presence of a selective α7nAChR agonist or antagonist. Our RNAseq findings show that a pro-inflammatory astrocyte phenotype acquired in vitro by LPS stimulation is reversed with α7nAChR agonistic stimulation. Conversely, antagonistic α7nAChR stimulation potentiates the pro-inflammatory astrocytic phenotype. Furthermore, we conduct a secondary transcriptome analysis against the identical α7nAChR experiments in fetal sheep primary microglia cultures and against the Simons Simplex Collection for autism spectrum disorder and discuss the implications.

Expression data from reactive astrocytes acutely purified from young adult mouse brains

Project description:Reactive astrogliosis is characterized by a profound change in astrocyte phenotype in response to all CNS injuries and diseases. To better understand the reactive astrocyte state, we used Affymetrix GeneChip arrays to profile gene expression in populations of reactive astrocytes isolated at various time points after induction using two different mouse injury models, ischemic stroke and neuroinflammation. Young adult male mice underwent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) to produce ischemic stroke or control sham surgery. Young adult mice were injected intraperitoneally with 5 mg/kg lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to produce neuroinflammation or saline for control. Astrocytes were acutely purified from control and injured brains at 1 day after injury for LPS/saline injection and 1, 3 days and 7 days after MCAO/sham surgeries.

α7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Regulates Macrophage-Mediated Neuroinflammation in Dry Eye Disease

Project description:Patients with dry eye disease (DED) often exhibit neurological abnormalities and may even suffer from neuropathic pain and pain-related anxiety or depression. However, addressing nerve abnormalities in DED remains a formidable challenge, as current therapies fail to halt disease progression. Our study found that activating α-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR), a pivotal regulator in the anti-inflammatory pathway connecting the nervous and immune systems, effectively restores corneal epithelium integrity and enhances nerve sensitivity in DED, pointing to its promising therapeutic potential. Furthermore, we have revealed that α7nAChR stimulates genes involved in immune-mediated inflammatory progression and neuroregulation, inhibits the expression of transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (TRPV1), reinstates corneal nerve density, and alleviates anxiety-like behaviors associated with severe DED by downregulating the proportion of CD86+ M1 macrophages (pro-inflammatory phenotypes). In summary, our findings underscore the activation of α7nAChR as a pioneering therapeutic approach for preserving corneal nerves balance and controlling inflammation in DED.

Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of Wild Type and α7nAChR-/- Peritoneal macrophage Transcriptomes with Nicotine and/or LPS treatment

Project description:Purpose: The cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway (CAP) links the nervous and immune systems and modulates innate and adaptive immunity. The goals of this study are to identify the new downstream signaling of α7nAChR in macrophages. Methods: Peritoneal macrophages isolated from α7nAChR+/+ and α7nAChR-/- mice were treated with nicotine (10 μM) and/or LPS (100 ng/ml), then RNA-seq was performed. Results: Genes were selected that had more than 4-fold relative gene expression in nicotine-treated cells compared to the control group (vehicle-treated). The same calculation was applied to nicotine+LPS-treated cells and LPS-treated cells and 264 genes were identified as genes commonly induced by nicotine based on these two comparisons. Then relative gene expression was compared between α7nAChR+/+- and α7nAChR-/- -derived cells. 18 genes were finally selected whose expressions are suppressed (<1/2) in α7nAChR-/- -derived peritoneal macrophages. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis focused on the new downstream signaling of α7nAChR in macrophages, generated by RNA-seq technology. We newly revealed the important anti-inflammatory role of Hes1 in the CAP using some functional experiments.

Gene expression changes in LPS-induced neuroinflammation

Project description:Neuroinflammation plays a role in the progression of several neurodegenerative disorders. We used a lipolysaccharide (LPS) model of neuroinflammation to characterize the gene expression changes underlying the inflammatory and behavioral effects of neuroinflammation. A single intracerebroventricular injection of LPS (5 ug) was administered into the lateral ventricle of mice and, 24 hours later, we examined gene expression in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus using microarray technology. Gene Ontology (GO) terms for inflammation and the ribosome were significantly enriched by LPS, whereas GO terms associated with learning and memory had decreased expression. We detected 224 changed transcripts in the cerebral cortex and 170 in the hippocampus. Expression of Egr1 (also known as Zif268) and Arc, two genes associated with learning and memory, was significantly lower in the cortex, but not hippocampus, of LPS-treated animals. Overall, altered expression of these genes may underlie some of the inflammatory and behavioral effects of neuroinflammation. Mice were given intracerebroventricular injections of saline vehicle (n = 4) or lipopolysaccharide (n = 4). Twenty-four hours later, we dissected the hippocampus and cerebral cortex and processed the tissue for microarray analysis. Gene expression changes observed in the microaray data were validated with quantitative real-time PCR.

A Molecular Switch for Neuroprotective Astrocyte Reactivity

Project description:Astrocytes differentiate into a spectrum of neurotoxic and neuroprotective reactive subpopulations after CNS injury and in disease.

A Molecular Switch for Neuroprotective Astrocyte Reactivity

Project description:The intrinsic mechanisms that regulate neurotoxic versus neuroprotective astrocyte phenotypes and their effects on central nervous system (CNS) degeneration and repair remain poorly understood. Here, we show injured white matter astrocytes differentiate into two distinct C3-positive and C3-negative reactive populations, previously simplified as neurotoxic (A1) and neuroprotective (A2)1,2, which can be further subdivided into unique subpopulations defined by proliferation and differential gene expression signatures. We find the balance of neurotoxic versus neuroprotective astrocytes is regulated by discrete pools of compartmented cAMP derived from soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) and show proliferating neuroprotective astrocytes inhibit microglial activation and downstream neurotoxic astrocyte differentiation to promote retinal ganglion cell (RGC) survival. Finally, we report a new, therapeutically tractable viral vector to specifically target optic nerve head astrocytes and show elevating nuclear or depleting cytoplasmic cAMP in reactive astrocytes inhibits deleterious immune cell infiltration and promotes RGC survival after optic nerve injury. Thus, soluble adenylyl cyclase and compartmented, nuclear- and cytoplasmic-localized cAMP in reactive astrocytes act as a molecular switch for neuroprotective astrocyte reactivity that can be targeted to inhibit microglial activation and neurotoxic astrocyte differentiation to therapeutic effect. These data expand upon and define new reactive astrocyte subtypes and represents a novel step towards the development of gliotherapeutics for the treatment of glaucoma and other optic neuropathies.
