Elucidating The Role Of ∆9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Thc) And Cannabidiol (Cbd) In Developmental Toxicity

ABSTRACT: Increased availability of cannabis and cannabinoid-containing products necessitates the need for understanding how exposure to these compounds can affect development. Using cannabinoid receptor-null zebrafish (cnr1-/- and cnr2-/-), we conducted experiments to assess the roles of these receptors in ∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) developmental and behavioral toxicity. THC increased mortality and deformities (pericardial and yolk sac edemas, a reduction in size) in cnr1-/- and cnr2-/- fish. Conversely, CBD-induced malformations and mortality were significantly reduced in the cnr1-/- and cnr2-/- larvae. THC and CBD exposure caused significantly decreased larval behavior (96 hpf), however, decreased distance travelled was protected in the cnr1-/- and cnr2-/- fish, suggesting these receptors are responsible for mediating behavioral toxicity. Transcriptomic profiling in cnr+/+ embryos developmentally exposed to 4 μM THC or 0.5 μM CBD revealed that a significant portion of differentially expressed genes were targets of PPARγ, a predicted upstream regulator. In Cnr-positive embryos, co-exposure to the PPARγ inhibitor GW9662 and THC or CBD, there was increased toxicity compared to exposure with THC or CBD alone. Co-treatment in the cnr2-/- fish with GW9662 did not alter the CBD-induced decrease in activity. However, co-treatment with GW9662 did remove the protective effect observed in cnr1-/- fish treated to CBD alone. Collectively, these results indicate that PPARγ, Cnr1, and Cnr2 all play crucial roles in the developmental toxicity of THC and CBD.

Microglial cannabinoid receptor type 1 mediates social memory deficits produced by adolescent THC exposure and 16p11.2 duplication

Project description:Adolescent cannabis use increases the risk for cognitive impairments and psychiatric disorders. Cannabinoid receptor type 1 (Cnr1) is expressed not only in neurons and astrocytes, but also in microglia, which shape synaptic connections during adolescence. Nonetheless, until now, the role of microglia in mediating the adverse cognitive effects of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the principal psychoactive constituent of cannabis, has been unexplored. Here, we report that adolescent THC exposure produces microglial apoptosis in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), which was exacerbated in the mouse model of 16p11.2 duplication, a representative copy number variation (CNV) risk factor for psychiatric disorders. These effects are mediated by microglial Cnr1, leading to reduction in the excitability of mPFC pyramidal-tract neurons and deficits in social memory in adulthood. Our findings highlight the importance of microglial Cnr1 to produce the adverse effect of cannabis exposure in genetically vulnerable individuals.

Adolescent Δ9-THC exposure and astrocyte-specific genetic vulnerability converge on NF-κB-COX-2 signaling to impair memory in adulthood

Project description:Adolescent cannabis use has been associated with long-term cognitive dysfunction attributed to action of the main cannabis ingredient, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC), on the cannabinoid receptor 1 (CNR1). However, not all marijuana users develop cognitive impairment, suggesting a genetic vulnerability to adverse effects of cannabis. As both neurons and glial cells express CNR1, genetic vulnerability could influence Δ9-THC-induced signaling in a cell type-specific manner. Here we use an animal model of inducible expression of dominant-negative Disrupted-In-Schizophrenia-1 (DN-DISC1) selectively in astrocytes to evaluate the molecular mechanisms whereby an astrocyte genetic vulnerability could synergistically interact with adolescent Δ9-THC exposure to impair recognition memory in adulthood. We report that selective expression of DN-DISC1 in astrocytes and adolescent treatment with Δ9-THC synergistically affected recognition memory in adult mice. Similar deficits in recognition memory were observed following knockdown of endogenous Disc1 in hippocampal astrocytes in mice treated with Δ9-THC during adolescence. At the molecular level, DN-DISC1 and Δ9-THC synergistically activated the NF-kB-COX-2 (encoded by Ptgs2 gene) pathway in astrocytes and decreased immunoreactivity of parvalbumin-positive pre-synaptic inhibitory boutons around pyramidal neurons of the CA3 area of the hippocampus. The cognitive abnormalities were prevented in DN-DISC1 mice exposed to Δ9-THC by simultaneous adolescent treatment with the COX-2 inhibitor, NS389. Our data demonstrate that individual vulnerability to cannabis can be exclusively mediated by astrocytes. Results of this work suggest that genetic predisposition within astrocytes can exaggerate Δ9-THC-produced cognitive impairments via convergent inflammatory signaling, suggesting possible targets for preventing adverse effects of cannabis within susceptible individuals.

Microarray and Pathway Analysis Reveal Distinct Mechanisms Underlying Cannabinoid-Mediated Modulation of LPS-Induced Activation of BV-2 Microglial Cells

Project description:Cannabinoids are known to exert immunosuppressive activities. However, the mechanisms which contribute to these effects are unknown. Using lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to activate BV-2 microglial cells, we examined how Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the major psychoactive component of marijuana, and cannabidiol (CBD) the non-psychoactive component, modulate the inflammatory response. Microarray analysis of genome-wide mRNA levels was performed using Illumina platform and the resulting expression patterns analyzed using the Ingenuity Pathway Analysis to identify functional subsets of genes, and the Ingenuity System Database to denote the gene networks regulated by CBD and THC.

Effect of PPARγ inhibition on pulmonary endothelial cell gene expression: Gene profiling in pulmonary hypertension

Project description:The loss of PPARγ is found to be associated with the development of pulmonary hypertension (PH). We hypothesize that PPARγ inhibition induced gene expression changes may underscore the endothelial dysfunction in the disease process. We utilized microarray analysis to determine gene expression changes in PPARγ inhibited ovine PAECs. Ovine PAECs were treated with vehicle (DMSO) or GW9662 (5μM) for 24hrs, and total RNA was extracted for microarray analysis.

Proteomic differences between methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus showing synergistic effects with cannabinoids

Project description:Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major human pathogen in both community and health care settings, which causes a wide range of infections. Its resistance to β-lactam antibiotics and methicillin in particular, greatly complicates treatment options and success rate due to the limited number of antibiotics with activity against MRSA. To further the development of alternative therapeutics, the mechanisms that mediate antibiotic resistance in MRSA need to be fully understood. Cannabinoid compounds including cannabidiol (CBD), tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabinol (CBN) have shown promise as potential antibiotic adjuvants. In the present study, MRSA cells were subjected to antibiotic stress from methicillin in combination with three cannabinoid compounds, and subsequently analysed using metaproteomics to assess the metabolic response. Subjecting MRSA to methicillin made the cells more viable and increased their energy production, as well as upregulation of penicillin-binding protein 2 (PBP2). The cannabinoids all showed antimicrobial activity against MRSA, and inhibited the energy production of the cells as well as PBP2 when used in combination with methicillin. Furthermore, all three cannabinoid compounds inhibited resistance mechanisms in MRSA, resulting in a decrease in the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of methicillin when used in combination.

Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) promotes neuroimmune-modulatory microRNA profile in striatum of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-infected macaques.

Project description:Cannabinoid administration before and after simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-inoculation ameliorated disease progression and decreased inflammation in male rhesus macaques. Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) did not increase viral load in brain tissue or produce additive neuropsychological impairment in SIV-infected macaques. To determine if the neuroimmunomodulation of Δ9-THC involved differential microRNA (miR) expression, miR expression in the striatum of uninfected macaques receiving vehicle (VEH) or Δ9-THC (THC) and SIV-infected macaques administered either vehicle (VEH/SIV) or Δ9-THC (THC/SIV) was profiled using next generation deep sequencing.

Proteome-wide profiling using sample multiplexing of a human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell line treated with cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)

Project description:Cannabis has been used throughout history for medicinal and recreational purposes. The most notable cannabinoids derived from these plants are cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Although well studied for their therapeutic effects, and highly debated concerning their recreational use, the underlying mechanisms of their biological effects are poorly defined. Here we used isobaric tag-based sample multiplexed proteome profiling to investigate protein abundance differences in the human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell line treated with CBD and THC. We highlighted significantly regulated proteins by each treatment and performed pathway classification and associated protein-protein interaction analysis. Our data suggest that these treatments may result in mitochondrial dysfunction and induce endoplasmic reticulum stress. This dataset can be mined further to investigate the potential role of CBD and THC in various biological and disease contexts and thus provide a foundation for future studies.
