Project description:Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the global effect of B[a]P on DNA methylation, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) and coding RNAs expression in the rat hippocampus. Methods: High-throughput sequencing was applied to assess hippocampus DNA methylation, ncRNAs and coding RNAs expression. Results: Exposure to B[a]P could influence the levels of DNA methylation, and the expression profiles of ncRNAs and mRNAs in rats. Conclusions: B[a]P could bring on the epigenetics changes as well as the transcriptomics changes and further affected gene expression.

Project description:We demonstrate in mice that perinatal SERT expression in glutamatergic pyramidal neurons in the hippocampus and mPFC modulates sexually dimorphic gene expression during hippocampal circuit assembly and is a source for sex-biased susceptibilities to cognitive and behavioral impairments.

Project description:Aging is associated with a decline in hippocampal mediated learning and memory, a process wich can be ameliorated by dietary (caloric) restriction. We used Affymetrix gene expression analysis to monitor changes in three regions of the hippocampus (CA1, CA3, DG) of middle aged (18 months) and old (28 month) rats that were exposed to dietary restriction. Old rats were determined to be good performers (GP) or poor performers (PP) in behavioral tests to assess thier hippocampal function.

Project description:Millions of sepsis survivors annually face long-term neuropsychiatric sequelae of their illness. Corticosteroids are frequently administered in sepsis, and their use affects neuropsychiatric outcomes, but the mechanisms are unknown. We used the cecal ligation and puncture method to induce acute infection in mice and test the hypothesis that corticosteroid treatment during illness has long-term effects on hippocampal function. Functional phenotyping and hippocampal RNA-sequencing were performed in the same survivor mice to identify underlying mechanisms of behavioral and neuroendocrine outcomes. Long-term CLP survivors exhibited anxiety-like behavior, increased central hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity, and persistent systemic and neuro-inflammation. The relationship between gene expression and behavior suggested a protective role for inflammation and oxidative metabolism after CLP. Corticosterone treatment during illness had distinct effects on hippocampal function in survivors, including object memory impairment. The long-term behavioral effects of corticosterone treatment were associated with persistent downregulation of activity-dependent gene expression in the hippocampus. The results suggest that corticosteroid treatment for sepsis influences hippocampal function in survivors via long-lasting changes to basal hippocampal activity. Neural activity, inflammation, and oxidative metabolism should be explored as future treatment targets to modify neuropsychiatric outcomes in sepsis survivors.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent internal RNA modification in mammalian messenger RNAs (mRNAs). While m6A has been shown to mark groups of mRNAs for coordinated degradation in various physiological processes, the relevance of m6A in affecting translation remains to be determined in intact biological systems in vivo. Here we show that, through its reader protein Ythdf1, m6A promotes a pulse of protein synthesis of target transcripts in response to neuronal stimuli in the adult mouse hippocampus, thereby facilitating learning and memory processes. Mice with genetic deletion of the Ythdf1 gene (Ythdf1-/-) exhibit learning and memory defects, as well as impaired hippocampal synaptic transmission and long-term potentiation (LTP). Selective re-expression of Ythdf1 in the hippocampus of adult Ythdf1-/- mice fully rescues the behavioral and synaptic defects, while hippocampus-specific knockdown of Ythdf1 or Mettl3, the catalytic component of m6A methyltransferase complex, recapitulates the hippocampal deficiency in adult mice. At the molecular level, transcriptome-wide mapping of m6A sites and RNA binding sites of Ythdf1 on hippocampal mRNAs using crosslinking immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (CLIP-seq) uncovered key neuronal genes, including those involved in synaptic transmission and long-term potentiation. Nascent protein labelling and tether reporter assays in cultured hippocampal neurons revealed that Ythdf1 is critical for initiating a pulse of protein synthesis of target transcripts in a neuronal-stimulus-dependent manner. Collectively, our results uncover a pathway of mRNA m6A methylation in learning and memory, which is mediated through Ythdf1 in response to stimuli.

Project description:Glucocorticoids are primary stress hormones that have been implicated in the pathogenesis of cognitive impairments and psychiatric illnesses. The hippocampus expresses high levels of glucocorticoid (GR) and mineralocorticoid receptors (MR) which both bind glucocorticoids. However, the specific and cooperative roles played by GR and MR in mediating the direct actions of stress on the hippocampus are unknown. To elucidate the function of hippocampal GR and MR, we generated mice with conditional knockout of GR (GREmx1-cre), MR (MREmx1-cre), or both GR and MR (GRMREmx1-cre) in the hippocampus. Genome-wide microarrays were performed on RNA isolated from the whole hippocampus to 1) identify genes subject to regulation by GR alone, MR alone, or both GR and MR and 2) identify the genes responsible for the morphological and behavioral phenotypes observed in these mice.

Project description:Cajal-Retzius (CR) cells are a transient type of neurons that populate the postnatal hippocampus. The role of transient cell types and circuits have been vastly addressed in neocortical regions, but poorly studied in the hippocampus. To understand how CR cells persistence influences the maturation of hippocampal circuits, we specifically ablated CR cells from the postnatal hippocampus.

Project description:Both the mechanism of action and the factors determining the behavioral response to antidepressants are unknown. It has been shown that antidepressant treatment promotes the proliferation and survival of hippocampal neurons via enhanced serotonergic signaling, but it is still unclear whether hippocampal neurogenesis is responsible for the behavioral response to antidepressants. Furthermore, a large subpopulation of patients fails to respond to antidepressant treatment due to presumed underlying genetic factors. In the present study, we have used the phenotypic and genotypic variability of inbred mouse strains to show that there is a genetic component to both the behavioral and neurogenic effects of chronic fluoxetine treatment, and that this antidepressant induces an increase in hippocampal cell proliferation only in the strains that also show a positive behavioral response to treatment. The behavioral and neurogenic responses are associated with an upregulation of genes known to promote neuronal proliferation and survival. These results suggest that inherent genetic predisposition to increased serotonin-induced neurogenesis is a determinant of antidepressant efficacy. Keywords: drug response

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small endogenous regulatory RNAs involved in hippocampal functions and lesions. Mouse has been regarded as an effective tool to explore the roles of miRNAs in hippocampus. Although the anatomical structure and physiological function across human and mouse hippocampi are highly conserved, the similarity and difference of hippocampal miRNAomes between the two species have not been well characterized. Our present study represents the first attempt to perform a systematic comparison of the miRNAomes between healthy human and mouse hippocampi using high-throughput sequencing followed by bioinformatic analyses. Contrasting between human and mouse hippocampal miRNAs shows a global similarity of expression pattern; however, the interspecific expression conservation of hippocampal miRNAs is positively associated with the interspecific sequence conservation. Although the type of the abundantly expressed hippocampal miRNAs is almost the same across the two species, only the enriched miRNAs in human hippocampus exhibit potential neuro-related activities. In addition, we also identified a novel miRNA and a species-specific miRNA in human hippocampus whose putative targets are associated with neuro-related activities. Collectively, our results can provide a framework to explore the ability of mice to model the physiological and pathological processes of human hippocampus and also aid in understanding the basis for higher order abilities of learning and memory at the miRNA level.
