BRCA1 and ELK-1 regulate Neural Progenitor Cell Fate in the Optic Tectum in response to Visual Experience in Xenopus laevis tadpoles

ABSTRACT: To identify regulators of activity-dependent neural progenitor cell fate, we used RNA-Seq to profile the transcriptomes of proliferating neural progenitor cells and newly-differentiated immature neurons. We identified six DE transcription factors which are predicted to regulate the majority of the other DE transcripts. We investigated the effect of BRCA1 and ELK-1 on activity-regulated neurogenesis in the tadpole visual system and found that knockdown of either BRCA1 or ELK-1 altered the fates of neural progenitor cells, and furthermore that the effects of visual experience on neurogenesis depend on BRCA1 expression, while the effects of visual experience on neuronal differentiation depend on ELK-1 expression. These studies provide insight into the potential mechanisms by which neural activity affects neural progenitor cell fate.

Systemic Epigenome-Wide Association Study of Elk Treponeme- Associated Hoof Disease

Project description:Treponeme-associated hoof disease (TAHD) is an emerging disease of elk (Cervus canadensis) in the U.S. Pacific West. Because environmental epigenetics is the primary molecular process that mediates environmental factor impacts on a host organism and disease, the role of epigenetics in TAHD etiology was examined. The current study was designed to examine potential effects of TAHD on systemic epigenetic modifications in infected elk over a range of TAHD lesion severity. Leg tendons that contain predominantly fibroblast connective tissue cells were used to isolate fibroblast cells for epigenetic analysis in unaffected and TAHD-positive male and female Roosevelt and Rocky Mountain elk. DNA methylation in the tendon cells in the different groups was examined. Differential DNA methylation regions (DMRs) between the unaffected and TAHD-positive were identified for both female and male elk. The presence of TAHD was associated with alteration of the connective tissue cell epigenetics and DMR associated genes identified. Therefore, the infected elk were found to have a systemic epigenetic alteration that was associated with the disease despite TAHD pathology being generally limited to feet. Other cell populations with the elk are also anticipated to be affected, and if the elk germline epigenetics is altered then generational transmission of susceptibility to TAHD may impact subsequent generations through epigenetic inheritance. This first study of epigenetic changes associated with disease in elk suggests that TAHD promotes a systemic effect on the elk epigenetics which could exert health impacts on the elk.

Single genomic enhancers drive experience-dependent GABAergic plasticity to maintain sensory processing in the adult cortex (RNA-Seq II)

Project description:Experience-dependent plasticity of synapses modulates information processing in neural circuits and is essential for cognitive functions. Genomic enhancers are thought to modulate specific sets of synapses by regulating experience-induced transcription to thereby promote neural circuit plasticity. However, this idea remains untested. Thus, here we analyze the cellular and circuit functions of the genomic mechanisms that control the experience-induced transcription of Igf1 (Insulin-like growth factor 1) in disinhibitory VIP interneurons in the adult visual cortex. We find that two sensory-induced enhancers selectively and cooperatively drive sensory-induced Igf1 transcription and that these enhancers homeostatically control the ratio between excitation and inhibition (E/I-ratio) and neural activity in VIP interneurons to thereby restrict visual acuity. Thus, single experience-regulated enhancers are essential for maintaining sensory processing. Since cortical plasticity scales with neural activity in VIP interneurons, this also suggests that experience-induced transcription restricts plasticity in adult neural circuits to preserve the brain’s functional integrity.

Early epigenomic and transcriptional changes reveal Elk-1 transcription factor as a therapeutic target in Huntington’s disease [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Huntington’s disease (HD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a late clinical onset despite ubiquitous expression of the mutant Huntingtin gene (HTT) from birth. Transcriptional dysregulation is a pivotal feature of HD. Yet, the genes that are altered in the prodromal period and their regulators, which present opportunities for therapeutic intervention, remain to be elucidated. Using transcriptional and chromatin profiling, we found aberrant transcription and changes in histone H3K27 acetylation in the striatum of R6/1 mice during the presymptomatic disease stages. Integrating these data, we identified the Elk-1 transcription factor as a candidate regulator of prodromal changes in HD. Exogenous expression of Elk-1 exerted beneficial effects in a primary striatal cell culture model of HD, and adeno-associated virus-mediated Elk-1 overexpression alleviated transcriptional dysregulation in R6/1 mice. Collectively, our work demonstrates that aberrant gene expression precedes overt disease onset in HD, identifies the Elk-1 transcription factor as a key regulator linked to early epigenetic and transcriptional changes in HD, and presents evidence for Elk-1 as a target for alleviating molecular pathology in HD.

Identification of circulating microRNA signatures as potential biomarkers in the serum of elk infected with chronic wasting disease

Project description:Purpose: Idenfication of microRNA biomarkers of Chronic wasting disease in serum from infected elk Methods: Illumina next generation was used to profile abundance of serum miRNA in elk naturally infected with chronic wasting disease and Hamsters experimentally infected with the 263K scrapie prion strains Results: A signature of 21 miRNAs with diagnostic potential was found to be altered in abundance in serum from CWD infected elk. Of these, 6 were similarily altered in the serum from the 263K infected hamsters Conclusion: These altered miRNA signatures may serve as the basis for non-invasive diagnostic assays for chronic wasting disease and may shed light on the pathogenesis of prion infection

Visual experience-dependent expression of Fn14 is required for retinogeniculate refinement (Fn14 KO RNA-Seq)

Project description:Sensory experience influences the establishment of neural connectivity through molecular mechanisms that remain unclear. Here, we employ single-nucleus RNA-sequencing to investigate the contribution of sensory-driven gene expression to synaptic refinement in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus, a region of the brain that processes visual information. We find that visual experience induces the expression of the cytokine receptor Fn14 in excitatory thalamocortical neurons. By combining electrophysiological and structural techniques, we show that Fn14 is dispensable for early phases of refinement mediated by spontaneous activity, but that Fn14 is essential for refinement during a later, experience-dependent period of development. Refinement deficits in mice lacking Fn14 are associated with functionally weaker and structurally smaller retinogeniculate inputs, indicating that Fn14 mediates both functional and anatomical rearrangements in response to sensory experience. These findings identify Fn14 as a molecular link between sensory-driven gene expression and vision-sensitive refinement in the brain.
