Hippocampus RNA-sequencing of aging rats with cognitive decline

ABSTRACT: Aging is an inevitable process for everyone. Aging is mostly characterized by decline of cognitive function. Themechanisms are still not clear. Hippocampus has been shown to participate in cognition process,the basic mechanism of which are involved in molecularalterations in genes expression. Objective of the present research was to find the transcriptomic changes influenced by aging in hippocampus using RNA-sequencing. The 22-monthrats with cognition decline were used as a model system to analyze the changes in transcriptional networks. There were121 differentially expressed genes identified in the hippocampus of aged rats, including 54 genes upregulated and67 genes downregulated. After GO analysis,differentially expressed genes were found to be enriched inprotein hetorotrimerization, positive regulation of kinase activity, multivesicular body,mitochondrial membrane, oxygen binding and protease binding. KEGG analysesshowed thatDEGs were mainly observed at biochemical signaling pathways, containing Neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction (likeAplnr,Htr2a,Nmur2,Rxfp3), Apelin signaling pathway(likeAplnr,Cdh1,Serpine1),Serotonergic synapse（like Htr2a,Tph2）,Tryptophan metabolism（Tph2）,and so on. These DEGsin the hippocampusmay be involved in the formation of learning and memory. At last, quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was applied to verify the RNAsequencing data.Altogether, the above analysis help to identify specific genes in the aging hippocampus, which might be used as potential molecular targets for the prevention and treatment of aging-related cognition disorders.

Transcription profile of aging and cognitive-related genes in the medial prefrontal cortex and hippocampal region CA1

Project description:This study focused on transcription in the medial PFC (mPFC) as a function of age and cognition. Young and aged F344 rats were characterized on tasks, attentional set shift and spatial memory, which depend on the mPFC and hippocampus, respectively. Differences in transcription associated with age and cognitive function were examined using RNA sequencing to construct transcriptomic profiles for the mPFC, white matter, and region CA1 of the hippocampus. The results indicate regional differences in vulnerability to aging associated with increased expression of immune and defense response genes and a decline in synaptic and neural activity genes. Importantly, we provide evidence for region specific transcription related to behavior. In particular, expression of transcriptional regulators and neural activity-related immediate-early genes (IEGs) are increased in the mPFC of aged animals that exhibit delayed set shift behavior; relative to age-matched animals that exhibit set shift behavior similar to younger animals. The study contains 11 young and 20 aged rats for the mPFC and CA1 samples, which were used to investigate expression patterns associated with aging and behavior. White matter samples were used to investigate an age-related effect with 8 young and 9 aged rats.

AGED CD8+ T CELLS DRIVE COGNITIVE DECLINE VIA GZMK [transfer]

Project description:Changes in peripheral CD8+ T cells are a prominent hallmark of immune aging. While infiltrating CD8+ T cells are implicated in aging and neurodegenerative disease-related pathology in the brain, the role of aged non-infiltrating CD8+ T cells has yet to be fully defined. Here, we show that targeting activated aged peripheral CD8+ T cells rescues age-related cognitive decline. Using heterochronic parabiosis and single cell transcriptomics analysis we observed that aged peripheral CD8+ T cells maintain properties intrinsic to their age, being refractory to the effects of a young or aged systemic milieu. Systemic exposure of young mice to aged CD8+ T cells elicited synaptic-related aging transcriptional signatures in the hippocampus and impaired cognition. Inhibiting migration of aged peripheral CD8+ T cells to lymph nodes mitigated pro-aging effects on the young hippocampus. Conversely, targeting aged CD8+ T cells restored synaptic-related signatures in the aged hippocampus and ameliorated cognitive impairments. Mechanistically, we identified granzyme k (GZMK) as a secreted age-associated CD8+ T cell-derived factor that impairs cognitive function. Together, our data identify activated aged CD8+ T cells and their secreted factors as potential therapeutic targets to rescue cognition in old age.

The choroid plexus transcriptome reveals changes in type I and II interferon responses in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

Project description:Alzheimerâs disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by a marked decline in cognition and memory formation. Increasing evidence highlights the essential role of neuroinflammatory and immune-related molecules, namely the ones that are produced at the brain barriers, on brain immune surveillance, cellular dysfunction and amyloid beta (AÎ²) pathology in AD. Therefore, understanding the response at the brain barriers may unravel novel pathways that are relevant for the pathophysiology of AD. Herein, we focused on the study of the choroid plexus (CP), which constitutes the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier, in aging and in AD. Specifically, we used the PDGFB-APPSwInd (J20) transgenic mouse model of AD, which presents early memory decline and progressive AÎ² accumulation, and littermate age-matched wild-type (WT) mice, to characterize the CP transcriptome at 3, 5-6 and 11-12 months of age. The most striking observation was that the CP of J20 mice displayed an overall overexpression of type I interferon (IFN) response genes at all ages. Moreover, J20 mice presented a high expression of type II IFN genes in the CP at 3 months, which became lower than WT at 5-6 and 11-12 months. Importantly, along with a marked memory impairment and increased glial activation, J20 mice also presented a similar overexpression of type I IFN genes in the dorsal hippocampus at 3 months. Altogether, these findings provide new insights on a possible interplay between type I and type II IFN responses in AD and point to IFNs as mediators of cognitive decline in aging and in AD. The CP transcriptome of at least 3 mice of each age (3, 5-6 and 11-12 months) and of each genotype (WT or J20) was analyzed and compared.

The miRNA-mediated gene regulatory network in hippocampus and hypothalamus of the aging mouse

Project description:Aging leads to time-dependent functional decline of all major organs. In particular, the aging brain is susceptible to cognitive decline and several neurodegenerative diseases. To characterize the aging process and understand the underlying molecular mechanisms, numerous studies have examined changes in gene expression in the aging mouse brain using high-throughput sequencing. However, microRNA-mediated post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression has not yet been comprehensively elucidated. In this study, we performed global analysis of mRNA and microRNA expression simultaneously in the hypothalamus and hippocampus of young and aged mice. We identified aging-dependent differentially expressed genes, most of which were specific to the hypothalamus or hippocampus.

Platelet factor 4 (PF4) is induced by klotho and rejuvenates cognition and its molecular signature in the aging hippocampus

Project description:Platelet factors regulate wound healing and also signal from the blood to the brain. However, whether platelet factors modulate cognition, a highly valued and central manifestation of brain function, is unknown. Here, we show that systemic platelet factor 4 (PF4) modulates cognition and its molecular signature. Klotho, a longevity and cognition-enhancing protein, acutely activated platelets and increased circulating platelet factors, most robustly platelet factor 4 (PF4). To directly test PF4 effects on the brain, we treated mice with vehicle or systemic PF4. In young mice, PF4 enhanced synaptic plasticity and cognition. In aging mice, PF4 restored cognitive deficits and rejuvenated a molecular signature of cognition in the aging hippocampus. Augmenting platelet factors such as PF4, a possible messenger of klotho, may enhance cognition in the young brain and rejuvenate cognitive deficits in the aging brain.

Genomic transcriptional profiling identifies candidates genes for successful aging

Project description:The inbred LOU/C/Jall rat is currently described as a model of successful aging. These rats have a longer healthy median lifespan than other strains, do not develop obesity, diabetes, or tumor and more importantly they do not show cognitive decline with aging. This is the first study to examine gene expression changes in the inbred LOU/C/Jall rat hippocampus and frontal cortex. Microarray data from LOU/C/Jall rats aged of 5 months were compared to the one measured in rats aged of 26 month. We have identified a set of 15 genes in the hippocampus and 70 genes in the frontal cortex that could be grouped into several clusters of similar expression profiles and that are involved in biological functions, namely regulation of plasticity, inflammatory response, metabolic, catabolic and homeostatic processes, and transcription. Genes were mainly up-regulated in aged brain. Gene expression profil in hippocampus and cortex frontal of LOU/C/Jall rats strain. Rats were 3 and 26 months old.
