Sex shapes cell-type-specific transcriptional signatures of stress exposure in the mouse hypothalamus

ABSTRACT: Stress-related psychiatric disorders and the stress system show prominent differences between men and women. These sex differences are detectable at the transcriptional level but we lack cell-type specific information. Here, using single-cell transcriptomics, we identify cell-type-specific signatures of acute restraint stress in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus - a central hub of the stress response - in male and female mice. Further, we show that a history of chronic mild stress alters these acute stress signatures in a sex-specific way. Using this dataset, we identified oligodendrocytes as a major target for sex-specific effects of stress. This dataset provides the first molecular resource for an in-depth dissection of the interplay between cell types and sex on the mechanisms of the stress response, offering the transcriptomes of thousands of individual cells.

Biomarkers of hippocampal gene expression in a mouse restraint chronic stress model

Project description:Acute stress provides many beneficial effects whereas chronic stress contributes to a variety of human health problems. The objective of this study was to use a rodent model to uncover hippocampal gene signatures associated with prolonged chronic stress which could potentially serve as biomarkers and therapeutic targets for early diagnosis and pharmacological intervention for stress induced disease. Mice were subjected to restraint stress over 7 consecutive days and gene expression changes in the hippocampus were analyzed at 3, 12 and 24 hours following the final restraint treatment. Data indicated that mice exposed to chronic restraint stress exhibit a differential gene expression profile compared to non-stressed controls. The greatest differences were observed 12 and 24 hrs following the final stress test.

Sleep Deprivation Alters the Pituitary Stress Transcriptome in male and female Mice

Project description:We performed a comparative, whole-transcriptome, analysis to identify stress-induced genes and relevant pathways that may be affected by sleep deprivation. Methods: One day following 12 hours of Paradoxical Sleep Deprivation (PSD), mice were restrained for 20 minutes. Gene expression changes in the pituitary were assessed via RNA-Seq and Gene Ontology in PSD and/or restrained groups compared to controls. Results: We show that restraint triggers transcriptional responses involved in hormone secretion, the glucocorticoid response, and apoptosis in both sexes, with 285 differentially expressed genes in females and 93 in males. When PSD preceded restraint stress, the numbers of differentially expressed genes increased to 613 in females and 580 in males. The pituitary transcriptome of restraint+PSD animals was enriched for microglia and macrophage proliferation, cellular response to corticosteroids, and apoptosis, among others. Finally, we show sex-specific differences in restraint-induced genes following PSD. Conclusion: The results indicate striking differences in the male and female stress-induced transcriptome, as well as in the PSD-induced changes. When PSD preceded the restraint stress challenge, the effects on the pituitary transcriptome were striking. While the male and female PSD + restraint-induced transcriptome was similar, we detected remarkable differences, perhaps indicating different strategies used by each sex to cope with challenges to homeostasis. We hope that these data illuminate future research elucidating how sleep deprivation impacts the vital response to stress and motivate the analysis of male and female subjects when designing experiments.

Sex differences in transcriptome profiles in hypothalamic and extrahypothalamic nuclei of rats impacted by adolescent stress

Project description:In order to generate data worthy of translatability to known sex differences in human stress-induced maladies, adolescent male and female rats underwent chronic restraint stress (stress) or not (nonstress, control) from postnatal day (PD)32-PD44. Specific brain nuclei (PVN, VMH, ARC, BLA, CEA, CA1, CA3, DG, and OFC) were analyzed for genome-wide transcriptome using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). Global transcriptome profiles were generated, and genes differentially expressed (DE) due to stress were identified for each nuclear subregion listed. Canonical pathway analyses identified DE genes that are likely crucial for causing well-known stress-induced sex differences.

Effect of chronic restraint stress or repeated activation of PVN neurons responding to restraint stress on gene expression of white adipose tissues (iWAT and eWAT) during adipogenesis of mice

Project description:Comorbid depression and type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with more severe symptoms, higher suicide risk and poorer prognosis than those with either disease alone. However, the mechanisms underlying this comorbidity remain unclear. Here, we describe a brain–sympathetic nerve–adipose circuit originating in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) that is crucial for the depressive-like behaviours and insulin resistance induced by chronic restraint stress. A subset of PVN neurons that were traced from WAT and activated under restraint stress, and chemogenetic manipulations demonstrated the sufficiency and necessity of those PVN neurons for changes in sympathetic innervation of adipose tissue and subsequent depression and insulin resistance induced by chronic stress. We further identify candidate adipokines for the development of depression and insulin resistance, and clarify the molecular mechanism by which the dynamics of sympathetic tone are translated into changes in the expression of candidate adipokines.

Transcription profiling of mouse liver after combined acoustic and restraint stress compared to non-stressed control mice

Project description:Stress is a powerful modulator of neuroendocrine, behavioral and immunological functions. After 4.5 days of repeated combined acoustic and restraint stress as a murine model of chronic psychological stress severe metabolic dysregulations became detectable in female BALB/c mice. Stress-induced alterations of metabolic processes that were found in a hepatic mRNA expression profiling were verified by in vivo analyses. Repeatedly stressed mice developed a hypermetabolic syndrome with severe loss of lean body mass, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, increased amino acid turn-over, and acidosis. This was associated with hypercortisolism, hyperleptinemia, insulin resistance, and hypothyroidism. In contrast, after a single acute stress exposure changes in expression of metabolic genes were much less pronounced and predominantly confined to gluconeogenesis, probably indicating that metabolic disturbances might be initiated already early but will only manifest in repeatedly stressed mice .Thus, in our murine model, repeated stress caused severe metabolic dysregulations leading to a drastic reduction of the individualâs energy reserves. Under such circumstances stress may further reduce the ability to cope with new stressors such as infection or cancer.

Single-Cell Profiling of Murine Bladder Cancer Identifies Sex Specific Transcriptional Signatures with Prognostic Relevance

Project description:Bladder cancer (BLCA) is more common in men but more aggressive in women. A common model used to study sex-based differences in cancer biology is murine BLCA generated by N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)-nitrosamine (BBN). While tumors in this model have been profiled, these profiles provided limited information on the tumor microenvironment. Hence, we applied single-cell RNA sequencing to characterize cell type specific transcriptional differences between male and female BBN induced tumors and then studied their human relevance. We found proportion and gene expression differences in the epithelial and non-epithelial subpopulations between male and female tumors. Of translational importance, expression of several genes was found to predict sex specific survival in several human BLCA datasets. We also noted a male biased CD8 T cell exhaustion program in this model that correlates highly with androgen receptor activity. Our study identified novel and clinically relevant sex specific transcriptional signatures and validates the relevance of the BBN model for studying sex differences in human BLCA. This work highlights the importance of considering sex as a biological variable in cancer marker development.

Novel aspects of the transcriptional stress response in the paraventricular nucleus of the mouse strains DBA/2J and C57BL/6J

Project description:The pivotal role of stress in the precipitation of psychiatric diseases is generally accepted. To further elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms, gene networks and signalling cascades, we investigated the impact of an acute stressor, forced swimming, on the gene expression profile in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN). We performed this study in C57BL/6J and DBA/2J mice, which are known to differ in their reaction to stress. Mice were exposed to forced swimming as stressor, brains were dissected 4h and 8h after stress, both from stressed and unstressed animals, and the RNA profiles from the PVN were evaluated by microarray analysis. Keywords: time course, treatment response, strain differences
