Project description:We investigate effects of Oprm1 downregulation in the MPOA on gene expression profiles in adolescent male rats using RNA-Seq. We conducted differential gene expression analysis of RNA-Seq data using the EdgeR Bioconductor Package. We evaluated differential gene expression between Oprm1 knockdown and control groups and found 349 genes were differentially expressed, with some genes being involved in neuronal signaling exhibited altered expression due to Oprm1 knockdown.

Project description:TRAP-seq gene expression profiling. GFP-L10a is expressed in BDNF+ or PACAP+ in preoptic area. Bdnf+ or Pacap+ cells in the preoptic area are labelled with GFP-L10a fusion protein expression to study cell-type specific gene expression. We used adult BDNF-Cre (custom generated, discussed in submitted paper) and Pacap-Cre mice (Allen Brain Institute, gift Hongkui Zeng) and injected Cre-depndent adenoassociated virus (AAV2-EF1a-DIO-EGFP-L10a, custom made) into the ventromedial preoptic area.

Project description:To study the relationship between microRNAs and μ-opioid receptor (MOR) signaling, we examined microRNA expression after chronic morphine or fentanyl treatment in rat primary hippocampal neurons and in mouse hippocampus. Mouse cerebellum region was also tested as a negative control to eliminate microRNA expression changes unrelated to MOR signaling, as the cerebellum is essentially devoid of MOR. We identified a number of microRNAs that altered their expression upon treatment with both morphine and fentanyl in the rat and mouse systems. There were, however, some microRNAs that changed in response to morphine, or fentanyl, but not both. Keywords: Expression profiling

Project description:Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with an abrupt loss of kidney function that results in significant morbidity and mortality. Considerable effort has focused around the identification of diagnostic biomarkers and the analysis of molecular events. Most studies have adopted organ-wide approaches that do not fully capture the interplay among different cell types in the pathophysiology of AKI. To extend our understanding of molecular and cellular events in AKI, we developed a mouse line that enables the identification of translational profiles in specific cell types by CRE recombinase-dependent activation of an eGFP-tagged L10a ribosomal protein subunit, and consequently, translating ribosome affinity purification (TRAP) of mRNA populations. By utilizing cell-type specific CRE-driver lines, in this study we identify distinct cellular responses in an ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) model of AKI. Cell-specific translational expression profiles were uncovered 24 hours after IRI from four populations enriched for distinct anatomical and cellular subgroups: nephron, interstitial cell populations, vascular endothelium, and macrophages/monocytes by Affymetrix microarray. A construct containing the CAGGS promoter driving eGFP-L10a, with a loxP-site flanked triple SV40 polyA cassette between promoter and eGFP-L10a cassette was targeted into the ubiquitously active Rosa26 locus. The upstream polyA cassette is designed to block activity of the downstream eGFP-L10a cassette. CRE-dependent removal of this transcriptional block activates eGFP::L10a production within the CRE-producing cell, and all of its descendants. Mice carrying the conditional eGFP-L10a allele, referred to as L10a, were maintained in a homozygous state. L10a mice were crossed to four CRE strains to activate eGFP::L10a expression in four predominantly non-overlapping cellular compartments in the kidney. A Six2-Tet-GFP::CRE allele is active exclusively within nephron progenitors; consequently, historical labeling results in eGFP::L10a expression throughout the main body of the nephron. A Foxd1-GFP::CRE allele is active in the progenitors of many of the interstitial cell lineages including those generating mesangial and non-glomerular pericytes. In addition, Foxd1 is normally expressed in podocytes. Cdh5-CRE is reported to be active throughout the vascular endothelium, and finally, Lyz2-CRE specifically labels cells of the myeloid lineage, notably macrophages, monocytes and dendritic cells. Mice carrying any CRE allele and the L10a allele are designated generically CRE-L10a. six2-L10a, foxd1-L10a, cdh5-L10a and lyz2-L10a denote specifically mice that are compound heterozygotes for the indicated CRE driver and L10a. CRE-L10a, L10a heterozygous littermates without CRE allele, C57BL/6 wild type mice were subjected to renal bilateral warm ischemia 28 minutes followed by 24-hour reperfusion when the kidney TRAP RNA and total RNA were isolated and subjected to Affymetrix microarray. Biological triplicates for each CRE-L10a line underwent no Surgery; sham Surgery and IRI treatment.

Keywords: Expression profiling There are up to three biological replicates (indicated by 1, 2, and 3) of primary hippocampal neurons from new born rats and the cerebellum and hippocampus regions from adult mice treated for three days (control, morphine, and fentanyl). The biological replicates were from experiments performed on different dates. Each biological replicate contained cells or tissues collected from multiple animals so that enough RNA could be extracted for RNA analysis. RNA was labelled with a green dye, mixed with a reference DNA sample labelled with a red dye. The reference DNA contained a number of synthetic DNA oligos with mature microRNA sequences that served to verify microarray hybridization. RNA signals were in ch1, DNA signals ch2.

Project description:Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification results in non specific RNA binding to the immunoprecipitation matrix, even in mice not expressing cell specific GFP labelled ribosomal protein L10a. This creates false positive enriched transcripts in our datasets. To determine which RNA transcripts bind non specifically to the immunoprecipitation matrix, preoptic area punches were collected from young and adult mice that do not express L10a-GFP. Also, included was a positive control (GnRH CRE x floxed L10a-GFP mice) to ensure that the TRAP procedure was enriching for GnRH neuron specific transcripts as previously described. Four GnRH depleted supernatant RNA samples from the previous study were also included to aid comparison of the two sequencing runs.

Project description:The neuronal cell death results in neurodegenerative diseases. The extracellular environment plays a critical role in regulating cell viability. In this study, we explore how intercellular communication contributes to the survival of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) following the optic nerve crush (ONC). By performing single-cell RNA-seq on whole retinal cells, we observed transcriptomic responses in non-RGC retinal cells to the injury, with astrocytes and Müller glia having the most interactions with RGCs. By comparing the RGC subclasses showing distinct resilience cell death, we identified top 47 interactions that are stronger in the high-survival RGCs, likely representing neuroprotective interactions. We performed functional assays on one of the receptors, Mu-opioid receptor (Oprm1). Although Oprm1 is preferentially expressed in intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), its neuroprotective effect could be transferred to multiple RGC subclasses by specific overexpressing Oprm1 in pan-RGCs. Our study provides an atlas of cell-cell interactions in both intact and post-ONC retina and an effective strategy to predict molecular mechanisms in neuroprotection, underlying the principal role played by extracellular environment in supporting neuron survival.

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a type of heterogeneous and fatal hematopoietic malignancy. The ten-eleven translocation (TET) mediated DNA demethylation is known to be critically associated with AML pathogenesis. Through chemical compound screening, we found that the opioid receptor agonist, loperamide hydrochloride (OPA1), significantly suppresses AML cell viability. The potential therapeutic effects of opioid receptor agonists, especially OPA1, were then verified in AML cells in vitro, and t(11q23) and t(8;21) AML mouse models in vivo. OPA1-induced activation of OPRM1 enhanced the transcription of TET2, increased DNA 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) modification, and in turn, activated NFκB signaling. Notably, AML with TET2 mutations or chemotherapy resistance were highly sensitive to OPA1. Our results reveal a previously unknown OPRM1-TET2-5hmC-TRAF2 regulatory axis in AML, and suggest that opioid agonists, particularly OPA1, an FDA-approved antidiarrheal drug, have therapeutic potential in AML, especially in TET2 mutated and chemotherapy-resistant AML, which have a poor prognosis.

Project description:Ligand-dependent differences in the regulation and internalization of the mu-opioid receptor (MOR) have been linked to the degree of severity of the side effects that limit the use of opiates in the treatment of pain. For example, activation of the MOR by morphine and DAMGO ([D-Ala2,N-MePhe4,Gly-ol]-enkephalin) causes distinct patterns of spatiotemporal signaling which are dependent on the distribution pattern of the receptor at the plasma membrane after activation. Morphine stimulation of MOR activates a Gβγ-protein kinase C (PKC)α-phosphorylation pathway that limits the distribution of the MOR and is associated with a sustained increase in cytosolic extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK). In contrast, DAMGO causes a redistribution of the MOR at the plasma membrane (prior to receptor internalization), that facilitates transient activation of cytosolic and nuclear ERK. Here, we use proximity biotinylation proteomics to dissect the different protein-interaction networks that underlie the spatiotemporal signaling of morphine and DAMGO. We found that DAMGO, but not morphine, activates Rac1 (Ras‐related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1). Rac1 activation is dependent on the scaffolding proteins IQ motif-containing GTPase-activating protein-1 (IQGAP1) and Crk-like protein (CRKL), and CRKL is required for the transient increase in nuclear ERK. In contrast, morphine increased the proximity of the MOR to desmosomes, specialized and highly-ordered membrane domains. Knockdown of desmosomal proteins junction plakoglobin (JUP) or desmocolin-1 (DSC1) switched the morphine spatiotemporal signaling profile to mimic that of DAMGO, revealing a transient increase in nuclear ERK. Identifying the MOR-interaction networks that control differential spatiotemporal signaling represents an important step towards understanding how signal compartmentalization contributes to the development of tolerance and dependence.
