Differential gene expression in peri-infarct neurons compared between Padi4-deficient and wild-type mice on day 4 after ischemic stroke

ABSTRACT: To investigate the gene expression difference in peri-infarct neurons compared between Padi4-deficient and wild-type mice on day 4 after ischemic stroke onset, we performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of peri-infarct neurons collected from neuron-specific Padi4-deficient and control mice.

Project description:Prior to assessing the impact of repeated HPβCD administration on the peri-infarct region of the brain, we first compared the transcriptome of the peri-infarct region to the equivalent region of the contralateral hemisphere in aged (18-month-old) mice at 7 weeks after distal middle cerebral artery occlusion + hypoxia (DH) stroke. The peri-infarct region was characterized by 3,910 differentially expressed genes. Of these, 2,123 were upregulated, many of which were also upregulated in infarcts at 7 weeks after stroke. For instance, the infarct and peri-infarct regions were both defined by the upregulation of degradative enzymes, TLRs, and scavenger receptors. In addition, the upregulation of Lpl, Lrp2, Ch25h, Apoe, Trem2, and Abca1 signified a divergence from lipid homeostasis. These alterations in innate immunity coincided with corresponding perturbations in adaptive immunity. The upregulation of Cd3d, Cd3e, Cd3g, Blnk, Sdc1 and Jchain suggests that chronic inflammation persists in peri-infarct regions for at least 7 weeks after stroke. Conversely, the DE analysis revealed that 1,787 genes were downregulated in peri-infarct regions compared to equivalent regions of the contralateral hemisphere. These genes were primarily involved in mitochondrial respiration and neuronal function. Together, these results demonstrate that the transcriptome of the peri-infarct region is characterized by the upregulation of genes involved in inflammation and lipid metabolism and the downregulation of genes involved in mitochondrial respiration and neuronal function. To evaluate the impact of HPβCD treatment on the transcriptome of the peri-infarct region, we also performed bulk RNA-Seq on brain tissue collected 7 weeks after DH stroke. For this analysis, we compared the peri-infarct regions of vehicle- and HPβCD-treated aged mice. The peri-infarct region of HPβCD-treated mice was characterized by 5,385 differentially expressed genes. The DE analysis revealed that peri-infarct regions of HPβCD-treated mice were characterized by the downregulation of multiple degradative enzymes, chemokine receptors, and scavenger receptors. In addition, the transcriptomic analysis demonstrated a restoration of lipid homeostasis in peri-infarct regions of HPβCD-treated mice compared to vehicle-injected mice, as evidenced by the downregulation of Lipa, Apoe, Lamp1, Npc1, and Npc2 and upregulation of Nceh1 and Ldlr. Reductions in innate and adaptive immune responses characterized peri-infarct regions of HPβCD-treated mice; these alterations are consistent with the attenuated chronic inflammation that characterized infarcts of the HPβCD-treated aged mice. These results demonstrate that HPβCD treatment after stroke attenuates chronic inflammation and promotes lipid metabolism in peri-infarct regions of aged mice. Additionally, the DE analysis revealed an upregulation of genes involved in myelin sheath structural integrity, such as Ina, Omg, and Nefl, and synaptic plasticity and neuroplasticity, such as Syn1, Bdnf, Nrg1, Negr1, and Nsg1. These results suggest that HPβCD treatment improves the structure and function of neurons in peri-infarct regions of aged mice after stroke.
