The genomic underpinnings of oscillatory biomarkers supporting successful memory encoding in humans

ABSTRACT: Brain oscillations are remarkable components of brain activity that support memory encoding. However, it remains a major challenge to determine the molecular mechanisms underlining this activity in humans. Here, we used direct intracranial electroencephalography recordings from patients performing free recall tasks of verbal memory encoding in temporal cortex. Using resected tissue transcriptomics from the same patients, we linked gene expression with brain oscillations, identifying genes correlated with oscillatory signatures of memory formation across six frequency bands. Co-expression analysis isolated biomarker-specific modules associated with neuropsychiatric disorders as well as ion channel activity. Using single-nuclei transcriptomic data from resected tissue, we further revealed that biomarker-specific modules are enriched for both excitatory and inhibitory neurons. This unprecedented dataset of patient-specific brain oscillations coupled to genomics unlocks new insights into the genetic mechanisms that support memory encoding. By linking brain expression of these genes to oscillatory patterns, our data help overcome limitations of phenotypic methods to uncover genetic links to memory performance.

Rhythmic transcription drives mRNA level oscillations during C. elegans development [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Thousands of transcripts accumulate in an oscillatory manner during C. elegans larval development. Here, we performed total RNA sequencing to confirm and quantify transcript levels oscillations on samples that we used in parallel to probe rhythmic RNA polymerase II recruitment to these genes as a mechanism to generate RNA level oscillations (see parallel submission of ChIP-seq data)

ERK Oscillation-Dependent Gene Expression Patterns and Deregulation By The Stress-Response

Project description:Studies were undertaken to determine whether oscillatory behavior in the extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK) pathway results in unique gene regulation patterns. Microarray analysis was performed on three subcloned populations of human keratinocytes with distinct ERK signaling/oscillation phenotypes. Microarray analysis identified 45 genes that overlapped between 2 subclones with oscillation phenotypes but not in the subclone which is non-oscillatory. Transcription factor networks revealed a role for MED1 in mediating ERK oscillation-dependent gene expression, which was confirmed with Western blot analysis. Further experimentation confirmed a role for p38 in the mediation of MED1 phosphorylation and ERK oscillatory behavior. hTERT-immortalized normal human keratinocytes (provided by Dr. Jerry Shay, The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center) were stably transfected with ERK1-green fluorescent protein chimera and stable subclones were isolated with distinct ERK activation/oscillation patterns: Clone #1 exhibits transient ERK activation with ligand activation but does not oscillate; Clone #2 exhibits persistent ERK oscillations that are dependent on ligand activation; and Clone #3 exhibits spontaneous ERK oscillations in the absence of ligand activation.

KIBRA repairs synaptic plasticity and promotes resilience to tauopathy-related memory loss

Project description:The dynamic function of synapses is critical for encoding memories in the brain. Pathogenic tau obstructs glutamatergic synapse function by blocking long-term potentiation (LTP), representing a key mechanism underlying memory impairment in Alzheimer s disease (AD). Here we developed a strategy for KIdney/BRAin (KIBRA)-mediated LTP repair in neurons with pathogenic tau using the C-terminus of KIBRA (CT-KIBRA). We show that CT-KIBRA restores LTP and memory in transgenic mice expressing human tau that mimics pathogenic hyperacetylated tau found in AD and other tauopathies. CT-KIBRA did not alter tau levels or prevent tau-induced synapse loss in the transgenic mouse brain, instead, we show that CT-KIBRA binds to and stabilizes protein kinase M zeta (PKM zeta) to maintain plasticity and memory despite tau pathogenesis. Further, in humans we established that KIBRA levels in brain and cerebrospinal fluid correlate with tau and cognitive impairment in tauopathies. Our study provides evidence to support KIBRA as a tauopathy-related synaptic biomarker and a synapse repair therapeutic to ameliorate cognitive impairment.

Blood Biomarkers for Memory: Towards Early Detection of Risk for Alzheimer Disease, Pharmacogenomics, and Repurposed Drugs

Project description:Short-memory dysfunction is a key early feature of Alzheimer Disease. Psychiatric patients may be at higher risk for memory dysfunction and subsequent Alzheimer due to the negative effects of stress and depression on the brain. We carried out longitudinal within-subject studies in male and female psychiatric patients to identify blood gene expression biomarkers that track short term memory as measured by the retention measure in the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test. These biomarkers were prioritized with a convergent functional genomics approach using previous evidence in the field implicating them in Alzheimer Disease. The top candidate biomarkers were tested in an independent cohort for ability to predict state short-term memory, and trait future positive neuropsychological testing for cognitive impairment

Redox controls metabolic robustness in the gas-fermenting acetogen Clostridium autoethanogenum

Project description:Living biological systems display a fascinating ability to self-organise their metabolism. This ability ultimately determines metabolic robustness that is fundamental to control cellular behaviour. However, fluctuations in metabolism can affect cellular homeostasis through transient oscillations. For example, yeast cultures exhibit rhythmic oscillatory behaviour in high-cell density continuous cultures. Oscillatory behaviour provides a unique opportunity for quantitating the robustness of metabolism, as cells respond to changes by inherently compromising metabolic efficiency. Here, we quantify the limits of metabolic robustness in self-oscillating autotrophic continuous cultures of the gas-fermenting acetogen Clostridium autoethanogenum. On-line gas analysis and high-resolution temporal metabolomics showed oscillations in gas uptake rates and extracellular by-products synchronised with biomass levels. Loss of H2 uptake makes CO the sole carbon and energy source until cells recover uptake of H2 in synchrony with increasing biomass levels. Intriguingly, oscillations are not linked to translational control as no differences were observed in protein expression during oscillations. However, intracellular metabolomics analysis revealed decreasing levels of redox ratios in perfect synchrony with the cycles. Therefore, we developed a thermodynamic metabolic flux analysis (tMFA) model to investigate if regulation in acetogens is controlled at the thermodynamic level. The data shows that the feasible range for the thermodynamic driving force of the Nfn transhydrogenase complex (i.e. NADH/NAD+×NADP+/NADPH) closely matched the experimentally observed range. The data indicate that metabolic oscillations in gas fermentation acetogens are controlled at the thermodynamic level. Our work suggests thermodynamic control of metabolism, potentially contributing to metabolic efficiency and working as a mean of energy conservation.

mRNA-seq time course of C. elegans sampled at and after release from dauer starvation at 25 degrees

Project description:We find that the 'high-confidence oscillating' genes initiate oscillations similarly as after release from L1 dauer. We performed high-throughput RNA sequencing on worms that were synchronously released from the dauer stage by refeeding on OP50. In particular, we investigate oscillatory gene expression as described in Hendriks et al., 2014 (doi: 10.1016/j.molcel.2013.12.013) and observe the re-initiation of oscillatory gene expression from stable expression with a time delay upon dauer exit. Experimental observation of the transitions between non-oscillatory and oscillatory states during the first 5 hours after dauer exit reveals that the oscillatory gene expression is arrested in a specific oscillator phase, similar to the observation we make in animals released from L1 arrest (see Meeuse et al., 2020, doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/755421).

Early remodeling of the neocortex upon episodic memory encoding

Project description:Understanding the mechanisms by which long-term memories are formed and stored in the brain represents a central aim of neuroscience. Prevailing theory suggests that long-term memory encoding involves early plasticity within hippocampal circuits, while reorganization of the neocortex is thought to occur weeks to months later to subserve remote memory storage. Here we report that long-term memory encoding can elicit early transcriptional, structural and functional remodeling of the neocortex. Parallel studies using genome-wide RNA-sequencing, ultrastructural imaging, and whole-cell recording in wild-type mice suggest that contextual fear conditioning initiates a transcriptional program in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) that is accompanied by rapid expansion of the synaptic active zone and postsynaptic density, enhanced dendritic spine plasticity, and increased synaptic efficacy. To address the real-time contribution of the mPFC to long-term memory encoding, we performed temporally precise optogenetic inhibition of excitatory mPFC neurons during contextual fear conditioning. Using this approach, we found that real-time inhibition of the mPFC inhibited activation of the entorhinal-hippocampal circuit and impaired the formation of long-term associative memory. These findings suggest that encoding of long-term episodic memory is associated with early remodeling of neocortical circuits, identify the prefrontal cortex as a critical regulator of encoding-induced hippocampal activation and long-term memory formation, and have important implications for understanding memory processing in healthy and diseased brain states. 4 biological replicates per group were analyzed. The material analyzed was medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC; anterior cingulate cortex subregion) from both brain hemispheres, from which total RNA was extracted.

Circadian networks in human embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes

Project description:Cell-autonomous circadian oscillations strongly influence tissue physiology and pathophysiology of peripheral organs. Recent in vivo findings in the heart demonstrate that the circadian clock controls oscillatory gene expression programs in the adult myocardium. However, whether in vitro human embryonic stem (ES) cell-derived cardiomyocytes can establish circadian rhythmicity is unknown. Here we report that while undifferentiated human ES cells do not possess a functional clock, oscillatory expression of known core clock genes emerges during directed cardiac differentiation, with robust rhythms in day 30 cardiomyocytes. Our data reveal a stress related oscillatory network of genes that underlies a time-dependent response to doxorubicin, a frequently used anti-cancer drug with cardiotoxic side effects. These results provide a set of oscillatory genes that is relevant to functional cardiac studies and that can be deployed to uncover the potential contribution of the clock to other processes such as cardiac regeneration.
