Age influences aggressive behaviour: an RNA-seq analysis in bovines

ABSTRACT: Here we used a RNA-seq approach to investigate differential gene expression in the prefrontal cortex of bovines from the aggressive selected Lidia breed at different age stages: young three-year old and adult four-year-old bulls. The number of up and down-regulated genes in the adult group were 50 and 193, respectively. These genes were associated with diverse functions, including neural plasticity and behavior. A cross-species comparative analysis retrieved 29 genes in common with previous studies on aggressive behaviors. Particularly, we detected changes in the regulation of networks such as the synaptogenesis, involved in the synapses maintenance and refinement, and the glutamate receptor pathway, which acts as excitatory driver in aggression responses. Furthermore, the Wnt//β- catenin signaling pathway was present in both up and down-regulated genes in the adult group, and has been implicated in adult altered behaviors and cognitive disorders. At the regulatory level, we identified four upstream regulators, all involved in behavioral processes and neurophsychiatric disorders including aggressive demonstrations. Our results on an animal model in which the aging process enhance the intensity of aggressive responses provide, first- time ever, insights into candidate genes and networks implicated in the molecular mechanisms leading to the maturation of the cattle brain, with a focus on agonistic components.

Sex-specific social behavior and amygdala proteomic deficits in Foxp2+/- mutant mice

Project description:In humans, mutations in the transcription factor encoding gene, FOXP2, are associated with language and Autism Spectrum (ASD) Disorders, the latter characterized by deficits in social interactions. However, little is known regarding the function of Foxp2 in male or female social behavior. Our previous studies in mice revealed high expression of Foxp2 within the medial subnucleus of the amygdala (MeA), a limbic brain region highly implicated in innate social behaviors such as mating, aggression, and parental care. Here, using a comprehensive panel of behavioral tests in male and female Foxp2+/- heterozygous mice, we investigated the role Foxp2 plays in MeA-linked innate social behaviors. We reveal significant deficits in olfactory processing, social interaction, mating, aggressive and parental behaviors. Interestingly, some of these deficits displayed in a sex-specific manner. To examine the consequences of Foxp2 loss of function specifically in the MeA, we conducted a proteomic analysis of microdissected MeA tissue and found sex differences in a host of proteins implicated in neuronal communication, connectivity and dopamine signaling. Consistent with this, we discovered that MeA Foxp2-lineage cells were responsive to dopamine with differences between males and females. Thus, our findings reveal a central and sex-specific role for Foxp2 in social behavior and MeA function.

Gene expression profiles underlying aggressive behavior in the prefrontal cortex of cattle

Project description:This study compared gene expression profiles of 16 prefrontal cortex (PFC) samples from aggressive and non-aggressive cattle breeds: Lidia, selected for agonistic responses, and Wagyu, specialized on meat production and selected for tameness. RNA sequencing was used to identify and classify 918 up and 278 down-regulated differentiated expressed genes (DEG). The functional interpretation of the up-regulated genes in the aggressive cohort revealed enrichment of pathways such as the Alzheimer disease-presenilin, integrins or the ERK/MAPK signaling cascade, all implicated in the development of abnormal aggressive behaviors and neurophysiological disorders. Moreover, gonadotropins, leading to testosterone release, are also up-regulated as a natural mechanisms enhancing aggression. Concomitantly, heterotrimeric G-protein pathways, associated with low reactivity mental states, and the GAD2 gene, a repressor of agonistic reactions at the PFC, are down-regulated, guaranteeing the development of the adequate responses required by the aggressive Lidia cattle. We also identified six upstream regulators, whose functional activity fits with the etiology of abnormal behavioral responses associated with aggression.

Comparative gene expression profiling of group-housed, less aggressive vs. single-housed, more aggressive male flies

Project description:Social experience influences multiple behaviors of many animal species, including aggression. Social isolation often increases aggressiveness. To investigater the molecular basis of social influences on aggressiveness, we performed comparative gene expression profiling on heads from 6-day-old, single-housed, more aggressive and group-housed, less aggressive male flies. Keywords: social experience

Comparison of mRNA transcriptomes reveals differential regulation at four different ages in Sika Deer testes

Project description:To elucidate the complex physiological process of testis development and spermatogenesis in Sika deer, this study evaluated the changes of mRNA profiles in the four developmental stages of testis the juvenile (1-year-old), adolescence (3-year-old), adult (5-year-old) and aged (10-year-old) stages. The results showed that total total of 23558 differentially expressed (DE) unigenes were obtained. 14918 (8413 up and 6505 down), 4988 (2453 up and 2535 down), 5681 (2929 up and 2752 down) DE unigenes were identified in 3-vs.1-, 5-vs.3- and 10-vs.5-year-old testes, respectively. By integrating mRNA expression profiles, we predicted 10790 mRNA-mRNA interaction sites. The target genes were enriched by GO and KEGG pathways to obtain DE mRNA (ALKBH5, Piwil, HIF1A, BRDT, etc.), which play an important role in testis development and spermatogenesis. The data show that DE mRNAs could regulate testis developmental and spermatogenesis through signaling pathways, including MAPK signaling pathway, p53 signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, Hippo signaling pathway, etc. It provides a useful resource for future studies on the role of genes regulation in testis development and spermatogenesis.

Brain transcriptome analysis of Arid1b heterozygote mutation and long-lasting effects of early chronic fluoxetine treatment for mutant mice [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Arid1b is a chromatin remodeler implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders. Arid1b mutant mice with haploinsufficiency (Arid1b HT) displayed persistent excitatory synaptic dysfunction from juvenile to adult stage, decreased synaptic density and transmission. Moreover, they showed autistic-like behaviors in both of early and adult stages, decreased sociability in pup USV calling and adult social interaction, and adult repetitive grooming. To investigate early transcriptomic changes in Arid1b mutant mice, RNAseq analysis of whole brain from wild-type and Arid1b mutant mice at postnatal day 10 was done. Transcriptomic changes support these electrophysiological and behavioral deficits. Arid1b HT mice at postnatal day 10 showed alterations in genes implicated in synaptic functions and ASD. Next, we found that early chronic fluoxetine treatment could carry out long-lasting restoration in electrophysiological and behavioral deficits in Arid1b HT mice. Whole brain transcriptomic analysis with mice at postnatal day 120 which underwent chronic fluoxetine treatment from postnatal day 3 to postnatal day 21 via mammillary milk was done to figure out transcriptomic reprogramming which contributes to this restoration. Comparing fluoxetine treated Arid1b HT mice and vehicle group, fluoxetine treated mice showed upregulation of synapse-related genes and disease related gene sets with reverse-ASD directions.
