Project description:Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by cell proliferation, migration and damage in various cell types in different CNS regions and causes disabilities related to distinct neurological pathways, such as walking, vision and cognition. Here, region-specific transcriptomic approach was used to determine changes in gene expression in five different CNS regions (hippocampus, frontal cortex, internal capsule, corpus callosum, and parietal cortex) in MS.

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a chronic ageing related neurodegenerative disease which is characterized by loss of synapses and neurons in the vulnerable brain regions. Expression perturbations of amyloid β (Aβ) and tau protein in the brain are two hallmarks of AD. Aβ is abnormally generated from amyloid precursor protein (APP) which is broadly distributed in different brain regions including the hippocampus and cortex. It is believed that increased Aβ expression plays a causative role in the early stage of AD pathology. Aβ protein interacts with the signaling pathways that control the phosphorylation of the microtubule-associated protein tau, which eventually disrupts the neuronal circuitry as well as network connectivity leading to neurodegenerative processes observed in AD. In addition, substantial molecular and neurodegenerative changes occur in the initial stage of AD even before the cognitive symptoms are evident, which makes the early diagnosis of AD vital to any timely disease stabilization and treatment. However, despite myriad efforts and substantial progress in the field to decipher the molecular mechanisms of disease onset and its progression, specific causes underlying AD pathology remain ill-defined. There is an urgent need to identify novel mechanism based interventional approaches that can stop, or slow down, the progression of AD. Therefore, it is important to improve the knowledge of the early AD and have a better understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms induced by Aβ. In this study, we performed comparative quantitative proteomics on different brain regions of 2.5 months old APP/PS1 mice (hippocampus, frontal cortex, parietal cortex and cerebellum) in order to investigate the early stage impact of AD. Although over 5000 proteins were identified in all regions, the proteome response across regions was greatly varied. As expected, the greatest proteome perturbation was detected in the hippocampus and frontal cortex (AD-susceptible brain regions), compared to only 155 changed proteins in the cerebellum (less vulnerable region to AD). Increased expression of APP protein was identified in all brain regions. The expression of the majority of the other proteins between hippocampus and cortex areas was not similar, highlighting differential effects of the disease on different brain regions. A series of AD associated markers and pathways were identified as overexpressed in the hippocampus including glutamatergic synapse, GABAergic synapse, retrograde endocannabinoid signaling, long-term potentiation, and calcium signaling. In contrast, the expression of same proteins and pathways was negatively regulated in frontal and parietal cortex regions. Additionally, an increased expression of proteins associated with the oxidative phosphorylation pathway in hippocampus was not evident in the two cortices. Interestingly, an increased expression of proteins involved with myelination, neurofilament cytoskeleton organization, and glutathione metabolism was identified in cortex areas, while these were reduced in the hippocampus. The results obtained from this study highlight important information on brain region specific protein expression changes occurring in the early stages of AD.

Project description:A detailed knowledge of the mechanisms underlying brain aging is fundamental to understand its functional decline and the baseline upon which brain pathologies superimpose. Endogenous protective mechanisms must contribute to the adaptability and plasticity still present in the healthy aged brain. Apolipoprotein D (ApoD) is one of the few genes with a consistent and evolutionarily conserved up-regulation in the aged brain. ApoD protecting roles upon stress or injury are well known, but a study of the effects of ApoD expression in the normal aging process is still missing. Using an ApoD-knockout mouse we analyze the effects of ApoD on factors contributing to the functional maintenance of the aged brain. We focused our cellular and molecular analyses in cortex and hippocampus at an age representing the onset of senescence where mortality risks are below 25%, avoiding bias towards long-lived animals. Lack of ApoD causes a prematurely aged brain without altering lifespan. Age-dependent hyperkinesia and memory deficits are accompanied by differential molecular effects in cortex and hippocampus. Transcriptome analyses reveal distinct effects of ApoD loss on the molecular age-dependent patterns of cortex and hippocampus, with different cell-type contributions to age-regulated gene expression. Markers of glial reactivity, proteostasis, and oxidative and inflammatory damage reveal early signs of aging and enhanced brain deterioration in the ApoD-knockout brain. The lack of ApoD results in an age-enhanced significant reduction in neuronal calcium-dependent functionality markers and signs of early reduction of neuronal numbers in the cortex, thus impinging upon parameters clearly differentiating neurodegenerative conditions from healthy brain aging. Our data support the hypothesis that the physiological increased brain expression of ApoD represents a homeostatic anti-aging mechanism. The brain cortex and hippocampus of young and aged mice of wild-type and ApoD-KO genotypes were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We aim at identifying distinct effects of ApoD loss on the molecular age-dependent patterns of cortex and hippocampus.
