Differential effect of repeated lipopolysaccharide treatment and aging on hippocampal function and biomarkers of hippocampal senescence

ABSTRACT: Aging is associated with low-grade chronic systemic inflammation. Elevated peripheral serum cytokines and chemokines contribute to age-related diseases and correlate with cognitive decline. This study compared the effects of repeated lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment in young rats to age-related changes in hippocampal-dependent cognition, synaptic transmission, and transcription. Young (5-7 months) Fischer 344 X Brown Norway hybrid rats were injected intraperitoneally once a week for 6-7 weeks with either LPS (1 mg/kg) or vehicle. Older (14-16 months) rats received a similar injection schedule of vehicle. Older-vehicle animals and young-LPS rats exhibited impaired retention of spatial memory. Examination of the transcriptome of the CA1 and the dentate gyrus indicated that older-vehicle and young-LPS animals exhibited an increase in immune response genes. In contrast to aging, young-LPS animals exhibited an increased expression of genes related to the synapse. Even though young-LPS animals increased the expression of synaptic genes, LPS treatment reduced hippocampal CA3-CA1 total synaptic response and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR)-mediated component of the synaptic response. Interestingly, the decrease in NMDAR function was not redox-sensitive. This study demonstrates that repeated exposure to LPS has long-term effects on hippocampal synaptic transmission and memory; however, young animals exhibited transcriptional recovery after LPS treatment. Recovery likely results from the acute nature of repeated LPS injections, relative to chronic systemic inflammation observed during aging.

Chronic intermittent ethanol exposure selectively impairs behavioral flexibility in aged rats compared to adult rats and modifies protein and protein pathways related to Alzheimer's disease

Project description:Repeated excessive alcohol consumption increases the risk of developing cognitive decline and dementia. Hazardous drinking among older adults further increases such vulnerabilities. In order to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying alcohol-induced cognitive deficits in older adults, we performed a chronic intermittent ethanol exposure paradigm (ethanol or water gavage every other day 10 times) in 8-week-old young adult and 70-week-old aged rats. While spatial memory retrieval ascertained by probe trials in the Morris water maze was not significantly different between ethanol-treated and water-treated rats in both age groups after the fifth and tenth gavages, behavioral flexibility was impaired in ethanol-treated rats than water-treated rats in the aged group but not in the young adult group. Further proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses on their hippocampal tissues by tandem mass tag mass spectrometry revealed ethanol-treatment-associated proteomic and phosphoproteomic differences distinct to the aged rats, including the upregulations of Prkcd protein level, several of its phosphosites, and its kinase activity and the same aspects in Camk2a but downregulated, and were enriched in pathways involved in neurotransmission regulation, synaptic plasticity, neuronal apoptosis, and insulin receptor signaling. In conclusion, our behavioral and proteomic results added several candidate proteins and pathways potentially associated with alcohol-induced cognitive decline in aged adults.

Whole brain transcriptome analysis of Shank2 knock-out mice

Project description:Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are thought to involve neurodevelopmental dysregulations that lead to visible symptoms at early stages of life. Many ASD-related mechanisms suggested by animal studies are supported by demonstrated improvement in autistic-like phenotypes in adult animals following experimental reversal of dysregulated mechanisms. However, whether such mechanisms also act at earlier stages to cause autistic-like phenotypes is unclear. Here, we show that early correction of a dysregulated mechanism in young mice prevents manifestation of autistic-like phenotypes in adult mice. Shank2–/– mice, known to display N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) hypofunction and autistic-like behaviors at post-weaning stages after postnatal day 21 (P21), show the opposite synaptic phenotype–NMDAR hyperfunction–at an earlier pre-weaning stage (~P14). Moreover, this NMDAR hyperfunction at P14 is rapidly shifted to NMDAR hypofunction after weaning (~P24). Chronic suppression of the early NMDAR hyperfunction by the NMDAR antagonist memantine (P7?21) prevents the NMDAR hypofunction and autistic-like behaviors from manifesting at later stages (~P28 and P56). These results suggest that early NMDAR hyperfunction leads to late NMDAR hypofunction and autistic-like behaviors in Shank2–/– mice, and that early correction of NMDAR function has the long-lasting effect of preventing autistic-like phenotypes from developing at later stages.

Comparison of DEG between memantine-, vehicle-treated and naive Shank2 wild-type and knock-out mice

Project description:Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are thought to involve diverse neurodevelopmental dysregulations that lead to visible symptoms at early stages of life. Many ASD-related mechanisms suggested by animal studies are supported by demonstrated improvement in autistic-like phenotypes in adult animals following experimental reversal of dysregulated mechanisms. However, whether such mechanisms also act at earlier stages to play important roles in the development of autistic-like phenotypes is unclear. Here, we show that early correction of a dysregulated mechanism in young mice prevents manifestation of autistic-like phenotypes in adult mice. Shank2–/– mice, known to display N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) hypofunction and autistic-like behaviors at post-weaning stages after postnatal day 21 (P21), show the opposite synaptic phenotype—NMDAR hyperfunction—at an earlier pre-weaning stage (~P14). Moreover, this NMDAR hyperfunction at P14 is rapidly shifted to NMDAR hypofunction after weaning (~P24). Chronic suppression of the early NMDAR hyperfunction in Shank2–/– mice by the NMDAR antagonist memantine before weaning (P7–21) prevents the NMDAR hypofunction and autistic-like behaviors from manifesting at later stages (~P28 and P56). In addition, early memantine treatment of Shank2–/– mice substantially alters transcription of numerous genes, driving gene expression patterns in a direction largely opposite that observed in drug-untreated Shank2–/– mice, which, interestingly, mimic those observed in autistic individuals. These results suggest that early NMDAR hyperfunction in Shank2–/– mice leads to late NMDAR hypofunction and autistic-like behaviors, and that early correction of NMDAR function has the long-lasting effect of preventing autistic-like phenotypes from developing at later stages.

Transcription profile of aging and cognitive-related genes in the medial prefrontal cortex and hippocampal region CA1

Project description:This study focused on transcription in the medial PFC (mPFC) as a function of age and cognition. Young and aged F344 rats were characterized on tasks, attentional set shift and spatial memory, which depend on the mPFC and hippocampus, respectively. Differences in transcription associated with age and cognitive function were examined using RNA sequencing to construct transcriptomic profiles for the mPFC, white matter, and region CA1 of the hippocampus. The results indicate regional differences in vulnerability to aging associated with increased expression of immune and defense response genes and a decline in synaptic and neural activity genes. Importantly, we provide evidence for region specific transcription related to behavior. In particular, expression of transcriptional regulators and neural activity-related immediate-early genes (IEGs) are increased in the mPFC of aged animals that exhibit delayed set shift behavior; relative to age-matched animals that exhibit set shift behavior similar to younger animals. The study contains 11 young and 20 aged rats for the mPFC and CA1 samples, which were used to investigate expression patterns associated with aging and behavior. White matter samples were used to investigate an age-related effect with 8 young and 9 aged rats.

Age and Sex Influence the Hippocampal Response and Recovery Following Sepsis

Project description:Although in-hospital mortality rates for sepsis have decreased, survivors often experience lasting physical and cognitive deficits. Moreover, older adults are more vulnerable to long-term complications associated with sepsis. We employed a murine model to examine the influence of age and sex on the brain’s response and recovery following sepsis. Young (~4 months) and old (~20 months) mice (C57BL/6) of both sexes underwent cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) with restraint stress. The hippocampal transcriptome was examined in age and sex-matched controls at 1 and 4 days post-CLP. In general, immune and stress-related genes increased while neuronal, synaptic, and glial genes decreased one day after CLP-induced sepsis. However, specific age and sex differences were observed for the initial responsiveness to sepsis as well as the rate of recovery examined on day 4. Young females exhibited a muted transcriptional response relative to young males and old females. Old females exhibited a robust shift in gene transcription on day 1 and, while most genes recovered, genes linked to neurogenesis and myelination continued to be downregulated by day 4. In contrast, old males exhibited a more delayed or prolonged response to sepsis, such that neuronal and synaptic genes continued to decrease while immune response genes continued to increase on day 4. These results suggest that aging is associated with delayed recovery from sepsis, which is particularly evident in males.

PRR7 is a novel NMDA-dependent inhibitor of c-Jun ubiquitination in neurons

Project description:Elevated c-Jun levels result in apoptosis and are evident in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia and after global cerebral insults such as stroke and epilepsy. NMDA receptor (NMDAR) antagonists block c-Jun upregulation and prevent neuronal cell death following excitotoxic insults. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms that regulate c-Jun abundance in neurons. Here we show that PRR7, a component of synaptic junctions, can upregulate c-Jun levels by inhibiting its ubiquitination in neurons. PRR7 interacts with the GLUN1 subunit of NMDARs and is upregulated in the nucleus following NMDAR activation. We show that PRR7 interacts with the E3 ligase SCFFBW7 (FBW7) and blocks the FBW7-mediated ubiquitination of c-Jun. PRR7 overexpression increases c-Jun-dependent transcriptional activity and promotes neuronal death. Microarray assays indicate that both Prr7 knockdown or overexpression alter the abundance of c-Jun-regulated transcripts associated with cellular viability as well as synaptic function. Moreover, Prr7 knockdown attenuates NMDA-mediated excitotoxicity in primary neuronal cultures. Our results show that PRR7 links NMDAR activity to c-Jun function and provide insight into the processes that underlie NMDA-dependent excitotoxicity. Four biological replicas of each of the four conditions: NO = not transduced with virus; NT = transduced with control lentiviruses containing a non-targeting shRNA sequence; KD = transduced with lentiviruses expressing PRR7-specific shRNAs; OE= transduced with lentiviruses to overexpress PRR7.
