Project description:The human striatum can be subdivided into the caudate, putamen, and nucleus accumbens (NAc). Each of these structures have some overlapping and some distinct functions related to motor control, cognitive processing, motivation, and reward. Previously, we used a “time of death” approach to identify diurnal rhythms in RNA transcripts in human cortical regions. Here, we identify molecular rhythms across the three striatal subregions collected from postmortem human brain tissue in subjects without psychiatric or neurological disorders. Core circadian clock genes are rhythmic across all three regions and show strong phase concordance across regions. However, the putamen contains a much larger number of significantly rhythmic transcripts than the other two regions. Moreover, there are many differences in pathways that are rhythmic across regions. Strikingly, the top rhythmic transcripts in NAc (but not the other regions) are predominantly snoRNAs and lncRNAs, suggesting that a completely different mechanism might be used for the regulation of diurnal rhythms in translation and/or RNA processing in the NAc versus the other regions. Further, although the NAc and putamen are generally in phase with regards to timing of expression rhythms, the NAc and caudate, and caudate and putamen, have several clusters of discordant rhythmic transcripts, suggesting a temporal wave of specific cellular processes with the caudate preceding the other regions. Taken together, these studies reveal distinct transcriptome rhythms across the human striatum and are an important step in helping to understand the normal function of diurnal rhythms in these regions and how disruption could lead to pathology.

Project description:The ability to use blood to predict the outcomes of Parkinson’s disease (PD), including disease progression and development of cognitive and motor complications, would be of enormous clinical value. We undertook deep RNA sequencing from the caudate and putamen of postmortem PD (n=35) and control (n=40) striatum, and compared molecular profiles with clinical features, and samples obtained from antemortem peripheral blood from an independent cohort. Cognitive and motor complications of PD were associated with molecular changes in the caudate (e.g., stress response) and putamen (endothelial pathways) respectively. Later and earlier-onset PD were molecularly distinct, and disease duration was associated with changes in caudate (oligodendrocyte development) and putamen (cellular senescence) respectively. Molecular signatures in the postmortem PD brain were also evident in antemortem peripheral blood, and correlated with clinical disease features. Together, these findings identify molecular signatures in PD patients' brain and blood of potential pathophysiologic and prognostic importance

Project description:The striatum in the brain is involved in various behavioral functions, including reward, and disease processes, such as opioid use disorder (OUD). Further understanding of the role of striatal subregions in reward behaviors and their potential associations with OUD requires molecular identification of specific striatal cell types in human brain. The human striatum contains subregions based on different anatomical, functional, and physiological properties, with the dorsal striatum further divided into caudate and putamen. Both caudate and putamen are associated with alterations in reward processing, formation of habits, and development of negative affect states in OUD. Using single nuclei RNA-sequencing of human postmortem caudate and putamen, we identified canonical neuronal cell types in striatum (e.g., dopamine receptor 1 or 2 expressing neurons, D1 or D2) and less abundant subpopulations, including D1/D2 hybrid neurons and multiple classes of interneurons. By comparing unaffected subjects to subjects with OUD, we found neuronal-specific differences in pathways related to neurodegeneration, interferon response, and DNA damage. DNA damage markers were also elevated in striatal neurons of rhesus macaques following chronic opioid administration. We identified sex-dependent differences in the expression of stress-induced transcripts (e.g., FKBP5) among astrocytes and oligodendrocytes from female subjects with OUD. Thus, we describe striatal cell types and leverage these data to gain insights into molecular alterations in human striatum associated with opioid addiction.

Project description:Gene expression studies are used to help identify disease-associated genes, by comparing the levels of expressed transcripts between cases and controls, and to identify functional genetic variants known as expression quantitative loci (eQTLs). While many of these studies are performed in blood or lymphoblastoid cell lines due to tissue accessibility, the relevance of expression differences in tissues that are not the primary site of disease is unclear. Further, many eQTLs are tissue specific. Thus, there is a clear and compelling need to conduct gene expression studies in tissues that are specifically relevant to the disease of interest. One major technical concern about using autopsy-derived tissue is how representative it is of physiologic conditions, given the effect of postmortem interval on tissue degradation. In this study, we monitored the gene expression of 13 tissue samples harvested from a rapid autopsy heart (non-failed heart) and 7 from a cardiac explant (failed heart) through 24 hours of autolysis. The 24 hour autopsy simulation design reflects a typical autopsy scenario where a body may begin cooling to ambient temperature for ~12 hours, before transportation and storage in a refrigerated room in a morgue. In addition, we also simulated a scenario wherein the body was left at room temperature for up to 24 hours before being found.

Project description:Background: Psychosis is a defining feature of schizophrenia and highly prevalent in bipolar disorder. Notably, individuals suffering with these illnesses also have major disruptions in sleep and circadian rhythms, and disturbances to sleep and circadian rhythms can precipitate or exacerbate psychotic symptoms. Psychosis is associated with the striatum, though no study to date has directly measured molecular rhythms and determined how they are altered in the striatum of subjects with psychosis. Methods: Here, we perform RNA-sequencing and both differential expression and rhythmicity analyses to investigate diurnal alterations in gene expression in human postmortem striatal subregions (NAc, caudate, and putamen) in subjects with psychosis relative to unaffected comparison subjects. Results: Across regions, we find differential expression of immune-related transcripts and a substantial loss of rhythmicity in core circadian clock genes in subjects with psychosis. In the nucleus accumbens (NAc), mitochondrial-related transcripts have decreased expression in psychosis subjects, but only in those who died at night. Additionally, we find a loss of rhythmicity in small nucleolar RNAs and a gain of rhythmicity in glutamatergic signaling in the NAc of psychosis subjects. Between region comparisons indicate that rhythmicity in the caudate and putamen is far more similar in subjects with psychosis than in matched comparison subjects. Conclusions: Together, these findings reveal differential and rhythmic gene expression differences across the striatum that may contribute to striatal dysfunction and psychosis in psychotic disorders.

In addition, we also simulated a scenario wherein the body was left at room temperature for up to 24 hours before being found. RNA from the 20 samples and triplicate from the HeLa cell line were run on the Affymetrix Exon arrays according to the manufacturer's protocol. The expression profiles of 7 cardiac tissue samples from the cardiac transplant operation (explant/failed heart) and 13 from a rapid-autopsy program (autopsy/non-failed heart) were harvested under the cold- and warm-24 hour autolysis conditions. The 7 explant samples include - 2 biological replicates at 0 hr, 1 at 6 hrs, 1 at 12 hrs, 2 biological replicates at 18 hr cold-autolysis condition and 1 at 18 hr warm-autolysis condition. The 13 autopsy samples include - 3 biological replicates at 0 hr (2 from the left and 1 from the right ventricle), 1 at 6 hrs, 2 biological replicates at 12 hrs (1 from the left and 1 from the right ventricle), 3 biological replicates at 18 hr cold-autolysis condition (2 from the left and 1 from the right ventricle), 2 biological replicates at 18 hr warm-autolysis condition ( 1 from the left and 1 from the right ventricle), 1 at 24 hr cold-autolysis condition and 1 at 24 hr warm-autolysis condition. Gene expression profiles of triplicate liver and heart exon array data obtained from Affymetrix were also used as reference .
