Project description:Treatments that stimulate neuronal excitability enhance motor performance after stroke.cAMP-response-element binding protein (CREB) is a transcription factor that plays a key rolein neuronal excitability. Increasing the levels of CREB with a viral vector in a small pool ofmotor neurons enhances motor recovery after stroke, while blocking CREB signaling preventsstroke recovery. Silencing CREB-transfected neurons in the peri-infarct region with thehM4di-DREADD blocks motor recovery. Reversing this inhibition allows recovery to continue,demonstrating that it is possible to turn off and on stroke recovery by manipulating theactivity of CREB-transfected neurons. CREB transfection enhances re-mapping of injuredsomatosensory and motor circuits, and induces the formation of new connections withinthese circuits. CREB is a central molecular node in the circuit responses after stroke that leadto recovery from motor deficits.

Project description:Depression is a common disorder that affects women at twice the rate of men. Here we report that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), a recently discovered class of regulatory transcripts, represent about one-third of the differentially expressed genes in the brains of depressed humans, and display complex region- and sex-specific patterns of regulation. We identified the primate-specific, neuronal-enriched gene, linc00473, as downregulated in prefrontal cortex of depressed females but not males. Using viral-mediated gene transfer to express linc00473 in mouse prefrontal cortex neurons, we mirrored the human sex-specific phenotype by inducing stress resilience solely in female mice. This sex-specific phenotype was accompanied by changes in synaptic function and gene expression selectively in female mice and, along with studies of human neuron-like cells in culture, implicates linc00473 as a CREB effector. Together, our studies identify linc00473 as a female-specific driver of stress resilience that is aberrant in female depression.

Project description:The cAMP responsive element binding protein (CREB) pathway has been involved in two major cascades of gene expression regulating neuronal function. The first one presents CREB as a critical component of the molecular switch that control longlasting forms of neuronal plasticity and learning. The second one relates CREB to neuronal survival and protection. To investigate the role of CREB-dependent gene expression in neuronal plasticity and survival in vivo, we generated bitransgenic mice expressing A-CREB, an artificial peptide with strong and broad inhibitory effect on the CREB family, in forebrain neurons in a regulatable manner. The expression of ACREB in hippocampal neurons impaired L-LTP, reduced intrinsic excitability and the susceptibility to induced seizures, and altered both basal and activity-driven gene expression. In the long-term, the chronic inhibition of CREB function caused severe loss of neurons in the CA1 subfield as well as in other brain regions. Our experiments confirmed previous findings in CREB deficient mutants and revealed new aspects of CREB-dependent gene expression in the hippocampus supporting a dual role for CREB-dependent gene expression regulating intrinsic and synaptic plasticity and promoting neuronal survival. manufacturer's protocol. Experiment Overall Design: Each sample contained total RNA from the hippocampi of a group of 3-4 three weeks old mice. We obtained duplicate samples for each experimental condition (in total 14 WT and 20 A-CREB mice where used in this experiment). Mouse Genome 430 2.0 genechips were hybridized, stained, washed and screened for quality according to the manufacturer's protocol.

Project description:Purpose: CREB (cAMP response element binding protein) is a transcription factor that is critical for learning and memory. The activity of CREB is mediated through its post-translational modifications (PTMs); specifically, phosphorylation at serine 133 and glycosylation at serine 40. In this study, we used RNA-Seq and weighted gene network coexpression analysis (WGCNA) to determine the CREB-mediated transcriptional programmes that are regulated by phosphorylation at serine 133 and glycosylation at serine 40 through the use of various PTM-deficient CREB mutants. Methods: The mRNA profiles of E16.5 Creb1-/- mouse cortical neurons expressing GFP, WT CREB, S40A-CREB, S133A-CREB, and S40A-S133A-CREB were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq 2500. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed using Bowtie, aligned using TopHat, and quantified using Cufflinks in Galaxy. Results: Through differential expression analysis with glycosylation-deficient (S40A) and phosphorylation-deficient (S133A) CREB mutants, we show that CREB O-GlcNAcylation is important for neuronal activity and excitability, while phosphorylation at serine 133 regulates the expression of genes involved in neuronal differentiation. Furthermore, many of the S40A and S133A differentially-expressed genes were directly bound by (1) CREB and its co-activators, CREB-binding protein and p300, (2) activating histone modifications, (3) OGT and O-GlcNAc, and (4) Tet1, an critical regulator of neuronal activity and differentiation. Finally, we observed a positive correlation between S40A and activity- and excitotoxicity-related gene networks and a negative correlation between S133A and neuronal differentiation and amino and fatty acid metabolism-related gene networks. This study demonstrates that CREB O-GlcNAcylation at serine 40 and phosphorylation mediate mutually exclusive gene networks. Together, O-GlcNAc and phosphorylation impart a TF code, which CREB must integrate and decode to modulate neuronal activity, differentiation, and metabolism.

Project description:Brain-derived serotonin favors appetite in mice following its binding to the Htr1a and Htr2b receptors in arcuate neurons of the hypothalamus. In this study, we identified that CREB is the transcriptional effector of brain-derived serotonin control of appetite in arcuate nuclei. In this dataset, we identified the downstream genes of CREB in arcuate neurons of the hypothalamus controling appetite. We isolated hypothalami of wild type and Creb-pomcCre-/- (deleted for Creb selectively in arcuate neurons of the hypothalamus) mice and performed microarray experiments.

Project description:The dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) of middle brain play important role in emotion related behaviour, and the alteration of excitability of VTA DA neurons are believed to be the key determinants in behaviours of depression and drug addictions. The excitability of VTA DA neurons controls the release of DA in the projection fiber terminals thus controls the function of VTA DA neurons. After many years hard work, we begin to understand how the excitability of VTA DA neurons are regulated, but these achievements are far from satisfactory. Furthermore, with recent progress and realization that property of VTA DA neurons, against the classical view that VTA DA neurons are homogeneous population, are distinctly different, thus the accumulated limited knowledge on the mechanism of excitability modulation of VTA DA neurons is especially short of expectation. The most outstanding indications of the heterogeneity of VTA DA neurons are represented by the distinctly different electrophysiological properties among VTA DA neurons projecting to different brain regions. However the underlying mechanism is not clear. In this application we plan to investigate the underlying mechanism determining the distinct excitability of VTA DA neurons projecting to the cortical and the limbic regions of the brain by single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). The main focus of the study will be on the intrinsic ion channels and the related modulation mechanism of VTA DA neuron excitability. On the basis of this we will further study the mechanism which underlie alteration of excitability of VTA DA neurons in condition of depression state, and still further the related depression behaviour.

Project description:Transcription factor CREB regulates lens Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition（EMT）in both S133 phosphorylation dependent and independent manners. We found that S133A-CREB can activate lens EMT, while R314A-CREB attenuated it. To understand the mechanism by which S133A-CREB and R314A-CREB modulates EMT gene expression. ChIP assay using CREB antibody in the in the mouse lens epithelial cells alpha-TN4 overexpressing Vector, WT-CREB, S133A-CREB, R314A-CREB and S133A/R314A-CREB, and ChIP-seq was conducted on the ChIP DNA. We found that WT-CREB, S133A-CREB as well as R314A-CREB binds to the promoter regions of mesenchymal genes, and S133A-CREB retained canonical CREB binding motif, while R314A-CREB exhibited shifted binding motif preference to ATF1.

Project description:Expression of VP16-CREB, a constitutively active form of CREB, in hippocampal neurons of the CA1 region lowers the threshold for eliciting the late, persistent phase of long-term potentiation (L-LTP) in the Schaffer collateral pathway. This VP16-CREB-mediated L-LTP differs from the conventional late phase of LTP in not being dependent on new transcription. This finding suggests that in the transgenic mice the mRNA transcript(s) encoding the protein(s) necessary for this form of L-LTP might already be present in CA1 neurons in the basal condition. We used high-density oligonucleotide arrays to identify the mRNAs differentially expressed in the hippocampus of transgenic and wild-type mice. Keywords: Genetic modification, time course
