Central FGF21 Production Regulates Memory but Not Peripheral Metabolism

ABSTRACT: Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a liver-derived endocrine hormone that functions to regulate energy homeostasis and macronutrient intake. Recently, FGF21 was reported to be produced and secreted from hypothalamic tanycytes, to regulate peripheral lipid metabolism. However, rigorous investigation of FGF21 expression in the brain has yet to be accomplished. Utilizing a novel mouse model that drives CRE recombinase in FGF21-expressing cells, we demonstrate that FGF21 is not expressed in the hypothalamus, but instead is produced from the retrosplenial cortex (RSC), an essential brain region for spatial learning and memory. Furthermore, we find that central FGF21 produced in the RSC enhances spatial memory but does not regulate energy homeostasis or sugar intake. Finally, our data demonstrate that administration of FGF21 prolongs the duration of long-term potentiation in the hippocampus and enhances activation of hippocampal neurons. Thus, endogenous and pharmacological FGF21 appear to function in the hippocampus to strengthen the formation of spatial memory.

FOXG1 drives transcriptomic networks to specify principal neuron subtypes during the development of the medial pallium

Project description:The medial pallium (MP) is the major forebrain region underlying learning and memory, spatial navigation, and emotion; however, the mechanisms underlying the specification of its principal neuron subtypes remain largely unexplored. Here, by postmitotic deletion of FOXG1 (a transcription factor linked to autism and FOXG1 syndrome) and single-cell RNA sequencing, we found that FOXG1 controls the specification of upper-layer retrosplenial cortical pyramidal neurons (RSC-PyNs (UL)), subiculum PyNs (SubC-PyNs), CA1-PyNs, CA3-PyNs and dentate gyrus granule cells (DG-GCs) in the mouse MP. We uncovered subtype-specific and subtype-shared FOXG1-regulated transcriptomic networks orchestrating MP neuron specification.

Hormones & Cognition/Aging/Placebo

Project description:The goal is to look at measures of overall metabolic state in relationship to hormonal environment and measures of mood/depression or cognitive function (behavioral and functional MRI images). There are some relationships in this data set between glucose/insulin levels and cognitive function, and we would like to use the untargeted assays to further investigate this relationship. Factors related to visual/spatial memory are included in the design. Factors 1 and 2 (Left Hippocampus, Right Hippocampus) are levels of activation in the hippocampus during a visual memory task, (data missing for some of the samples). Factors 3-5 (BVMT % Retained, BVMT Learning T, BVMT Delay T) are results from a cognitive test of spatial memory function.

Murine hippocampal phosphoproteome LC-MSMS

Project description:The hippocampus plays an important role in spatial memory and the conversion of short-term to long-term memory. Several studies have reported the presence of a peripheral oscillator in the hippocampus, and have highlighted the importance of circadian regulation in memory formation. In this study we performed global quantitative phosphoproteome analyses of the murine hippocampus across the circadian cycle, applying spiked-in labeled reference and high accuracy mass spectrometry.

Murine hippocampal proteome - Phosphoproteome Profiling Reveals Circadian Clock Regulation of Posttranslational Modifications in the Murine Hippocampus

Project description:The circadian clock is an endogenous oscillator that drives daily rhythms in physiology, behavior and gene expression. The underlying mechanisms of circadian timekeeping are cell-autonomous and involve interconnecting transcription-translation feedback loops. The hippocampus plays an important role in spatial memory and the conversion of short-term to long-term memory. Several studies have reported the presence of a peripheral oscillator in the hippocampus, and have highlighted the importance of circadian regulation in memory formation. In this study we performed global quantitative proteome and phosphoproteome analyses of the murine hippocampus across the circadian cycle, applying spiked-in labeled reference and high accuracy mass spectrometry.

Transcription profiling of C57BL/6NIA mouse hippocampus to survey age-related changes in mRNA levels.

Project description:We carried out a global survey of age-related changes in mRNA levels in the C57BL/6NIA mouse hippocampus and found a difference in the hippocampal gene expression profile between 2-month-old young mice and 15-month-old middle-aged mice correlated with an age-related cognitive deficit in hippocampal-based explicit memory formation. Middle-aged mice displayed a mild but specific deficit in spatial memory in the Morris water maze. Experiment Overall Design: No technical replicates; 14 biological replicates for 15-month-old mice, 9 biological replicates for 2-month-old mice. Whole hippocampus.

Transcription profiling of rat CA3 region of the hippocampus following control task or spatial modelling task

Project description:A theoretical framework for the function of the medial temporal lobe system in memory defines differential contributions of the hippocampal subregions with regard to pattern recognition retrieval processes and encoding of new information. To investigate molecular programs of relevance, we designed a spatial learning protocol to engage a pattern separation function to encode new information. After background training, two groups of animals experienced the same new training in a novel environment, however only one group was provided spatial information and demonstrated spatial memory in a retention test. Global transcriptional analysis of the microdissected subregions of the hippocampus exposed a CA3 pattern that was sufficient to clearly segregate spatial learning animals from control. Individual gene and functional group analysis anchored these results to previous work in neural plasticity. From a multitude of expression changes, increases in camk2a, rasgrp1 and nlgn1 were confirmed by in situ hybridization. Furthermore, siRNA inhibition of nlgn1 within the CA3 subregion impaired spatial memory performance, pointing to mechanisms of synaptic remodeling as a basis for rapid encoding of new information in long-term memory. Experiment Overall Design: RNA samples from animals subjected to a spatial learning paradigm were compared to controls using Affymetirx RAE230a chips. An N of 7 was used in each of the two experimental conditions.

The role of FGF21 in aging and aging-related diseases

Project description:Aging and aging-related diseases represent an increasing burden on modern society. Thus, drugs that retard the aging process are highly desirable. Fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF21) is a hormone secreted by the liver during fasting that elicits diverse aspects of the adaptive starvation response. Among its effects, FGF21 induces hepatic fatty acid oxidation and ketogenesis, increases insulin sensitivity and blocks somatic growth. Here we show that transgenic overexpression of FGF21 markedly extends lifespan in mice without reducing food intake or affecting AMP kinase or mTOR signaling or NAD metabolism. Transcriptomic analysis suggests that FGF21 acts primarily by blunting the growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor-1 signaling pathway in liver. These findings raise the possibility that FGF21 can be used as a hormone therapy to extend lifespan. Liver, epididymal fat and gastrocnemius muscle RNA expression profiles were compared between C57Bl/6J ad libitum, fasted, and calorically restricted mice, as well as between FGF-21 transgenic and their wild-type C57Bl/6J controls.
