Project description:Three groups of Wistar rats with different manipulated levels of corticosterone were used to identify corticosteroid-responsive genes in hippocampus: 1. rats were adrenalectomised (ADX) 2. In addition to ADX these rats were implanted with a subcutaneous pellet containing 20 mg corticosterone and 80% cholesterol (ADX + low CORT) 3. In addition to ADX and implantation of a corticosterone pellet, these rats received a subcutaneous injection with corticosterone (1 mg/kg bodyweight) three hours prior to decapitation ((ADX + low CORT) + acute high CORT). All 3 groups of rats were decapitated three days after ADX and their hippocampus was isolated. Hippocampal RNA from 6 rats per group was pooled and used as input material for the SAGE libraries. Keywords: parallel sample

Rhythmic secretion of prolactin in rats: action of oxytocin coordinated by
vasoactive intestinal polypeptide of suprachiasmatic nucleus origin.

Abstract:
Prolactin (PRL) is secreted from lactotrophs of the anterior pituitary gland of
rats in a unique pattern in response to uterine cervical stimulation (CS) during
mating. Surges of PRL secretion occur in response to relief from hypothalamic
dopaminergic inhibition and stimulation by hypothalamic releasing neurohormones.
In this study, we characterized the role of oxytocin (OT) in this system and the
involvement of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) from the suprachiasmatic
nucleus (SCN) in controlling OT and PRL secretion of CS rats. The effect of OT
on PRL secretion was demonstrated in cultured lactotrophs showing simultaneous
enhanced secretion rate and increased intracellular Ca(2+). Neurosecretory OT
cells of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus that express VIP receptors
were identified by using immunocytochemical techniques in combination with the
retrogradely transported neuronal tracer Fluoro-Gold (iv injected). OT
measurements of serial blood samples obtained from ovariectomized (OVX) CS rats
displayed a prominent increase at the time of the afternoon PRL peak. The
injection of VIP antisense oligonucleotides into the SCN abolished the afternoon
increase of OT and PRL in CS-OVX animals. These findings suggest that VIP from
the SCN contributes to the regulation of OT and PRL secretion in CS rats. We
propose that in CS rats the regulatory mechanism(s) for PRL secretion comprise
coordinated action of neuroendocrine dopaminergic and OT cells, both governed by
the daily rhythm of VIP-ergic output from the SCN. This hypothesis is
illustrated with a mathematical model.

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to understand what gene changes are associated with removal of Esrrg in dopaminerigc neurons from the mouse midbrain using BAC-TRAP and an AAV for Thcre Methods: Midbrain from mice expressing the L10a transgene used for BAC-TRAP method of RNA isolation both with and without deletion of Esrrg using AAV:THCre were aged 1 month post-injection and midbrains were then extracted and flash frozen on dry ice. RNA was isolated using the BAC-TRAP method and samples were sent for sequencing.

Project description:We explored sex-biased effects of the primary stress glucocorticoid hormone corticosterone on the miRNA expression profile in the rat hippocampus. Adult adrenalectomized (ADX) female and male rats received a single corticosterone (10 mg/kg) or vehicle injection and after 6 h, hippocampi were collected for miRNA, mRNA and Western blot analyses. miRNA profiling microarrays showed a basal sex-biased miRNA profile in ADX rat hippocampi. Additionally, acute corticosterone administration triggered a sex-biased differential expression of miRNAs derived from genes located in several chromosomes and clusters on the X and 6 chromosomes. Putative promoter analysis unveiled that most corticosterone-responsive miRNA genes contained motifs for either direct or indirect glucocorticoid actions in both sexes. The evaluation of transcription factors indicated that almost 50 % of miRNA genes sensitive to corticosterone in both sexes was under glucocorticoid receptor regulation. Transcription factor-miRNA regulatory network analyses identified several transcription factors that regulate, activate or repress miRNA expression. Validated target mRNA analysis of corticosterone-responsive miRNAs showed a more complex miRNA-mRNA interaction network in males compared to females. Enrichment analysis revealed that several hippocampal-relevant pathways were affected in both sexes, such as neurogenesis and neurotrophin signaling. The evaluation of selected miRNA targets from these pathways displayed a strong sex difference in the hippocampus of ADX-vehicle rats. Corticosterone treatment did not change the levels of the miRNA targets and their corresponding tested proteins. Our data indicate that corticosterone exerts a sex-biased effect on hippocampal miRNA expression, which may engage in sculpting the basal sex differences observed at higher levels of hippocampal functioning.

Project description:The circadian nature of mood and its dysfunction in affective disorders is well recognized, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are still unclear. We showed that the circadian nuclear receptor REV-ERBa, which is associated with bipolar disorder, impacts midbrain dopamine production and mood-related behavior in mice. Genetic deletion of the Rev-erba gene or pharmacological inhibition of REV-ERBa activity in the ventral midbrain induced mania-like behavior in association with a central hyperdopaminergic state. We used microarrays to identify differentially expressed genes in the ventral midbrains of wild-type (WT) and Rev-erba knock-out (RKO) mice.

Project description:Purpose: we sought to search for genes that are transcribed or repressed in a glucocorticoid (GC)-dependent manner in a hypothalamic region containing the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH), thereby unraveling mechanisms underlying GC-induced neuroendocrine and autonomic regulation. Methods: we employed unbiased quantification of the abundance of DNA transcripts provided by RNA-seq in the PVH region of male rats and identified genes whose expression is enhanced or suppressed by the 12-day exposure to a high dose of corticosterone (Cort) by Cort implant (12-day high Cort) or deprivation of corticoids for 7 days [7-day adrenalectomy (ADX)] (Experiment 1), as well as by acute Cort increase (Experiment 2). Sham-ADX animals served as controls in Experiment 1. In Experiment 2, rats underwent ADX and supplemented with Cort in drinking water. The animals were decapitated at 1 h [acute Cort (1) 1 h] or 3 h [acute Cort (1) 3 h] following injection of HBC Cort (1 mg), a dose shown to elicit plasma Cort surge comparable to that during acute stress. A group of rats without Cort injection served as controls (ADX + Cort suppl). Differential expression was calculated as fold-changes in gene expression [measured as fragments per kilobase of exon per million reads mapped (FPKM)]. The Benjamini & Hochberg method was applied to correct the unavoidable false positive data ensued from the multiple tests, and a q-value was calculated as the false discovery rate-adjusted p-value. The q-value < 0.05 was used as the cut-off criterion. Pearson’s correlation analysis was carried out for grouping genes that showed similar expression patterns. qRT–PCR validation was performed using Power SYBR Green PCR mix. Semi-quantitative in situ hybridization was carried out using 35S-labeled cRNA probes. Results: some canonical GC target genes, among others of a broad functional spectrum, were upregulated prominently by 12-day high Cort. Crh was upregulated or downregulated most prominently by either 7-day ADX or 12-day high Cort, emphasizing the recognized feedback effects of GC on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Concomitant changes in Avp and Aplnr expression are likely to contribute to HPA repression. In keeping with the pleotropic cellular actions of GCs, 7-day ADX downregulated numerous genes of a broad functional spectrum. The transcriptome response signature differed markedly between acute Cort injection and 12-day high Cort. Remarkably, 6 immediate early genes, Bsx, Egr1, Fos, Fosb, Junb, and Nr4a3, were upregulated at 1 h after Cort injection, and the changes were confirmed by qRTPCR and semi-quantitative in situ hybridization. Conclusions: the present study uncovered a broad spectrum of Cort-responsive genes, potentially involved in the regulation of the HPA-axis, as well as other neuroendocrine and pre-autonomic functions of the PVH.
